![]() ![]() Either way, the Badlands Guardian is a remarkable feature. The Badlands Guardian is an example of the hollow face illusion. Like numerous geoglyphs across the world the Badlands Guardian can only be seen from above (Figure 3).Īlthough it is likely that nature conspired to produce this phenomenon by the interplay of countless random events, it is not impossible that a pre-existing landform could have been modified in specific ways to produce this face. Figure 3 The Badlands Guardian is not visible at ground level. This would not be the case if it were oriented in another direction. Figure 2 Appearance at noon on the summer solstice (left), Equinox (middle), and winter solstice (right).Įven more remarkable, the alignment of the feature to north and to the path of the sun is such that the feature maintains a consistent appearance at noon over the course of the year (Figure 2). That it is aligned to north and depicts the indigenous people would seem to be an unlikely coincidence. That one of these formations is oriented to north is not unusual in itself. There are perhaps hundreds or even thousands of similar badlands formations in North America. Second, the formation is aligned to north. It has very high health and a below average speed. The Cavalry spawns before the Gunslinger, on the left and right paths of the Badlands II map. That it appears to represent the people native to the area is an interesting coincidence. The Cavalry is a large guardian enemy that appears in Badlands II. The Badlands Guardian: A Human Portrait with Feathered Headdress Authors: William Saunders George Haas The Cydonia Institute James Miller Keith Morgan Abstract and Figures This is an analysis. Among them is a giant head known as the Badlands Guardian. Although the feature is thought to be the result of erosional processes there is much about it that is unusual.įirst is the visual form itself – that of a human figure, similar in appearance to the indigenous people from this part of Canada, wearing a headdress. Google Earth has revealed all sorts of fabulous formations that can only be seen from above. ![]() This feature known as the Badlands Guardian was first discovered in Google Earth imagery in 2005. Twenty-five miles east of the town of Medicine Hat in Alberta Canada is a landform that resembles a face looking due west. Figure 1 The Badlands Guardian is barely evident in Alberta’s earliest air photos taken in 1949-1951. Try not to use them unless you understand what they do.This series of articles discusses three surface features that resemble faces: a strange landform in Alberta Canada known as the Badlands Guardian that was discovered in 2005, a carved stone formation found by Daniel Ruzo on the Marcahuasi Plateau in Peru in the 1950s, and the Face on Mars, a mile-long structure on the surface of Mars first imaged by a Viking orbiter spacecraft in 1976. There are commands, but they are developer commands and only available via /op. However, the world is playable with all vanilla items obtainable, though I will heavily recommend thoroughly testing it for yourself before deploying it to a production environment As of now, it is in an Alpha stage, meaning some core features are subject to change (a list of known issues and to-dos is on the discord). TerraformGenerator is a world generator plugin that aims to provide an enhanced vanilla feel. There is a premium version (that you can access by clicking here) that is also on spigot, but note that that version is the exact same thing.ĭo consider buying TerraformGenerator to support development. TerraformGenerator is free, and will stay free. ![]()
