The Blythe Intaglios or Blythe Geoglyphs are a group of gigantic figures incised on the ground near Blythe, California, in the Colorado Desert. The ground drawings or geoglyphs were created by humans for an, as yet, unknown reason. The Blythe Intaglios contain three human figures, two four-legged animals, and a spiral. The largest human figure in the Blythe Intaglio group is 171 feet (52 m) long. The intaglios are best viewed from the air. Radiocarbon dates for the figures, ranges from 900 BC to 1200 AD.
Cache Logging Requirement: There is a plaque near the listed coordinates. What is the spiral in the lower portion believed by some to represent? e-mail or message me your answer.
