What if one of the most mysterious, ancient images on the planet was never known to most people because it wasn’t meant to be seen from the ground?

Hidden in the Badlands near Medicine Hat in Alberta, Canada, there’s something you can’t find by hiking, driving, or exploring on foot. You can only see it from the sky.

In 2005 while exploring Google Earth, a 53-year-old woman stumbled across something that stopped her in her tracks: a clearly defined human face etched into the clay rock landscape, a Native person with distinct features and what appears to be a feathered headdress.

Today, it’s known as the Badlands Guardian. And here’s where it gets unsettling.

If this image is truly ancient, as it’s believed to be, then it shouldn’t exist. The Blackfoot tribe historically living in the area had no known technology capable of carving something this massive, this precise, and this three-dimensional.

It’s not Mt. Rushmore in the side of a mountain. It’s far older and more subtle, visible only from above.

How did it get there? Is the Badlands Guardian a natural formation (pareidolia), or was it deliberately created? If it was created, then who made it and who was it meant to be seen by? Most importantly, why does it resemble a human figure so clearly that some say it borders on the impossible?

This may be one of the most interesting cases of human pattern recognition ever recorded, something between incredible evidence of lost knowledge, ancient wisdom, and something spiritual all in one.

Today on Metaphysical, take this mystery further than anyone else ever has. Dive in with investigative researcher Rob Counts and professional remote viewer John Vivanco for a show that’s out of this world.
