Crazy that Nancy Pelosi said Joe Bideon belongs on mount Rushmore . Crazy Nancy. Crazier than a bedbug.and if you know, you know.
DJT next face on the rock!
Remembering the Past sounds Great 😃 but, the Rich will Never Donate Their Money 🤑 to Memorize the Real Native American People !!
The best
Thanks for your comment.
Very good video
Glad that you enjoyed the video
Viendo la maqueta y el tamaño del proyecto es fácil entender que es demasiado titánico, demasiado ambicioso, no creo que lleguen a terminarlo nunca, se necesitaría demasiada fe para que las muchas generaciones que se requieren para terminarlo, puedan sentirse motivados para seguir con el trabajo, pero así como está ya es bastante impresionante 😁😁😁
Exactly what Crazy Horse would not want,...
Not to sure if all the existing Native tribes agree with this work? Seems to me to be a bit Hollywood because of the Gen Custer Myths? America was once a vast Nation of 1000's of tribes that were over 300 years destroyed Doing service to but just one people rids the existence of all others Perhaps this work should have been more inclusive? No Nation is just one culture. Even tiny UK has 1000's of cultures to this very day.
Wounderfull !
I hope it progresses well, and the monument is finished
No one alive today will see it finished.
Just another tourist trap.
Sculptor not sculpture narroator.

At the time construction started in 1948, the artist estimated the work would be complete in 30 years. As of 2022, there was no timeline for when the monument would be completed; however, the hand, arm, shoulder, hairline, and top of the horse's head were estimated to be finished by 2037. On 3rd June 1948 Ziolkowski made the first blast and construction started. Since then work has been slow as Ziolkowski worked on the project mainly solo and refused to accept any government grants, thinking that if he did, he would no longer have complete control over the monument. Should have had Michelangelo carve it.
There are very few works of humans that I respect. This is one of them. Actually, at the moment, I can't even think of a 2nd one..... After minutes of thought, there is Dian Fossey understanding and protecting the mountain gorillas. I am not sure there is even a 3rd good thing humans have ever done. That is about the sum total value of humans. The bad things humans have done...that list is without end.
I was working for Phillips66 Oil Co. in Rapid City SD in 1974 and Korczak Ziolkowski was using our fuel and lubricants in all his equipment . I spent a day with him on the mountain and the evening at his home. He drove me all over the area in his jeep and we drank whiskey in his living room. His wife Ruth brought it to us straight, in water glass tumblers!! (after a day with no meals....ugh!) He was a wonderful guy, full of enthusiasm and loving life and his gigantic project. He knew that he would not live to finish the sculpture , and he said so. He hoped that his family and foundation would complete it someday. However, nearby Rapid City is the location of the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology , one of the premier hard rock mining engineering schools in the nation. I studied Civil Engineering there in the years following my visits with Korczak, and expert geophysical scientists and mining engineers at the school had determined that the Crazy Horse sculpture could never be completed because the rock the mountain is comprised of is not monolithic or uniform and could never support the type of sculpture that Ziolkowski envisioned. I can clearly see that coming true in this video made 50 years after I stood on the top of the mountain with Korczak. There's been very little change or progress in 50 years, and what has been done bears only a passing resemblance to the models and drawings Ziolkowski made originally. Too bad - His was a magnificent vision , but the raw material just was not then, and never will be there to make it real.
Pueden mejorar todas las fases de la obra empleando hormigón.
The government offered to finish it but had to many rules on how the money would be spend on the project and it was turned down ,I don’t blame them them they want to tell u what or how they want it ,no government control they want to be in charge 😂😂😂like if it is there’s,that why Mount Rushmore would not take money from the government ,they did it on donations?❤
Have the native Americans build it with their casino money……….
No poetry. No science. No math. No art. No music. No written history. No language. No architecture. Nothing. Native Americans didn't bring anything to the table of humanity. Why are we building monuments like this to them?
Amazing vision 💥
Is there any documentation that native Americans have contributed actual labor work on this sculpture ?
Just don't believe these were constructed in our timeline I'm definitely calling BS. History nothing but lies
There is footage of people climbing down the rocks to work on it
Where?
Not so great. They are using a computer stored image to direct the cutting. Better they left the mountain alone.
Crazy Horse lies in an unmarked grave off his native land. To have a monument on ancient holy land of his people angers many of his family and his people. Mount Rushmore is even more of an insult to these people. The Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 has been trampled on. This land was promised to the Lakota and taken away by the federal government. The Lakotas, Cheyennes, Arapahos, Kiowas and Kiowa-Apaches believe the Black Hills to be sacred. The US Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that the Black Hills were stolen in and that the tribe should be given cash however the tribe wants it land. For those protesting for Palestinians or Israel; this is closer to home. This should be taken from the family making it, given to the tribe and smoothed over so it looks like the black hills again.
good preview overlaying the statue over the mountain. It gives us an impression of the scale of the mountain-sculpture. Wonderful! There seems to be some progress recently, as shown in another youtube video.

*"...preserve the culture, heritage and living heritage of the North American Indians." Meanwhile, school districts and others are erasing noble Indian heritage by forbidding admired team nicknames like Indians, warriors, braves, chiefs etc.!*
It'll never get finished
So so beautiful. You are very 😍
Thanks for your comeno
beautiful, but i wonder, is the rock really stable enough to carry that arm? o.O
This is awful. They're destroying a beautiful mountain to put up a gaudy massive statue of a guy like he's a god. Just look at the half they've cleared away, utterly strip-mined. Real one with nature there, guys.
Its amazing that this and mt. Rushmore were started about the same time. These people won't accept a dime from the government that's why it's taken so long. When completed, the space under his arm will fit mt Rushmore. They say you'll be able to see this from outter space. Put it on your bucket list as a "Must See".
Satellite cameras can read license plates from "outer space". not a big deal to see this big chunk of blasted rocks....
💯💯👍 Great Respect and Love 💯
All that hard work just to give the credit to Aliens in a few hundred years😂
Just went there. Still unreal not 1/3rd done
Thanks for watching my video
Whole world knows that the whole US Govt will ensure that this project is unsuccessful or be delayed for so many years to come.
Government doesn't care.
@@JDoe-gf5oz exactly what i said
@@stevenbennion1544 It's the opposite of what you said actually. The US government doesn't care about therefore will not be trying to stop it.
👌👌👌👌👌👌😐👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If anyone deserves to be up there it’s Bill Cliton 😂 the realest president
Well done dad 😁
And it will be finished in about the time it takes for all the stone to erode away
It’s not money that’s an issue. They make millions in fees from tourists every year. I honestly think it’s not very high on the priority list if people already willing to pay to see a incomplete carving. 😂
Is it an idee to sell bagger rock piches for menorial stone on grave Jarts
I hope Jesus Christ gives them a lot of tax free c street money the cold hard cash
I, Peggy Anna Detmers, am the sculptor of that bronze assembly.
I am from the UK, Peggy spent more than 6 years creating the 17 bronze sculptures. Check it on the internet.
You're incredibly talented Peggy and the world thanks you for your creativity...
@@robertallen6710 I thank you dearly, Robert, for saying that.❤
@@MikesTravelVideos Thank you Mike!❤
Whether we like him or not, if we are just speaking about the importance of a president in history, Barack should be added the Mt... Not saying he was the greatest president but his place and importance in history is cemented
Nah
@@darkseiid ...nah what tho??? Name one thing of importance the president other than Lincoln and Washington did!!! What makes them so important to American history??? I'll wait
@@bryandungee1029 Jefferson due to being the author of the declaration and Roosevelt for being the one who was transitioning America to an empire. Also Rushmore was supposed to celebrate the first 150 years of the United States, adding another defeats the purpose of its original meaning
Uhhhh NO
@@bryandungee1029 Lincoln literally made it possible for Obama to become president…..
Weren't they built with lasers?
Hahaha mate you watch too many movies
I hope. Someday they can finish this
Thanks for your comment
If the United States does anything finish crazy horse now
Can Elon Musk help out as a donation instead of paying it to the IRS? Elon!! HELP!! The Lakota Sioux owned that land until they were forcibly removed to live on reservations. 🙏
I would like to volunteer my free time. Im in Canada but would trade my vacation time to come help in which ever way possible. I just need food and sleep.
