Blythe Intaglios



Just outside of Blythe California, on the Arizona border, we visited the Blythe Intaglios. These are huge drawings of people with very long legs and arms, a horse and a spiral. They weren’t discovered until the 1930s when someone spotted them from an airplane. These figures were scraped into the desert crust and scientists are unable to date or understand who made them. Mary checked in with the Deva of the area who told her that they were 3,000 years old. Really? That’s hard to believe. Surely they would have been covered up or destroyed in all that time. We think that they are drawings of star beings that were made by the earthlings who saw them. What do you think?
