Maybe they did they just swept it under the rug

They were tougher back then, someone fell off they just rubbed some dirt on it and walked it off

Now a days, people get hit by a work truck just walking to have lunch! That is amazing nit to have any fatalities!

Probably lost a couple but they were swept under the rug or written off as something else...

Problem is, anybody today would f it up.

Because to Americans this is old, in the grand scheme of things they're a relatively young country.

Well if you consider that US History dates back to 1776 its a little more than less than 100 years. All this video is saying is the reason it was built was to be a US history museum that ended up incomplete because of WW2

They have to somehow tie aliens into it.

To erase the Indigenous history that site has and to prevent landclaim of their sacred mountain by those nations that till today fight to get their site for worship back.

I sure did. I was an ironworker working the high steel on the Olin Fertilizer Plant next to the Houston Ship Channel for a few months in 1975. I made 8 bucks an hour to risk my life with no safety equipment till some stupid crane operator dropped several hundred pounds of steel on my foot. It turned purple. The boss didn't report it, and was scrambling to cover his ass. I finally quit.

@@nitromartini1422 so sorry that happened to you man, amazing that you survived. Things we do when we’re young, I just shake my head now at the chances I took.

@@fredziffle5219 : That's the way construction work is. When I was a construction worker in Las Vegas, at least 15 guys died, mostly from scaffold falls. I was working for a scrap metal recycling company, and fell 24 feet because of bad rigging. I got wound up in my welding leads and hit the ground on my feet with my welding hood on. A forklift operator asked if I was an acrobat when he saw the accident. When I was working on Mandalay Bay, a guy working on the Venetian had a 4000 lb panel dropped on him. Splat. When I was working for Marathon LeTourneau in Brownsville, Texas, a huge steel section fell on a guy and spattered him into goo. They scraped him up and put his body in several paint buckets. You can really get killed on a construction job.

You were a very Brave man!

Actually, they're still open to the public

We were there in 1985, and on the Canada side you could walk under the falls and onto a platform just almost to the horse shoe falls. It was amazing, will never forget. Beautiful there, we also went to Goat Island on the American side, really impressive.

Well, no WHITE people. So I guess you don't care.

Amazing considering the weather is wild in SD.

Or: they simply covered up any and all deaths.

Are we sure there were no native American deaths while trying to protect their monument?

except lost lives of the natives they stole this land from

It wasn’t built when they said……it’s atleast 500 years old….another advanced civilization built it……..no way in hell humans could have built that especially in that era…..hammers and chisels?…… with no way to get visual perceptions to know where to chisel at……… a total scam on humanity.

"...it has been claimed that Borglum was a member of the Ku Klux Klan,[23] an article in the Smithsonian Magazine denies that there is proof that he officially joined the KKK."

Indeed. Borglum was a KKK member thru and thru. He had already completed Stone Mountain as tribute to the confederacy. Next step, Rushmore, despite the land belonging to the Lakotas deemed by the Fort Laramie treaty of 1868. This abomination should be swept clean. All of it. And it's no wonder a racist like Trump pays homage to a white supremacist tourist site like Rushmore.

They also fail to mention the fact that the black hills where "confiscated" after the discovery of gold in the area, even thought the U.S. had signed a treaty with the Lakota Sioux declaring that land (which was/is sacred to them) was theirs only a decade before. The Lakota Sioux tribe won the case in the supreme court, and where "rewarded money" which they didn't take because they just want there land back.

Well gee no ya dont because not one tribe in what would become the United States had ever developed any form of wrtten record keeping.

The indians are better off for it, the world is better for it. Every technological advancement in your life can be attributed to Europeans and their meticuloust record keeping. Even if we choose to adopt your negative slant on it, what about it? Both the wrong and the wronged, are long ago dead. Indians come into this world with more rights and privileges than the rest of us, and since when in human history was a weaker, less capable civilization protected from encroachment by others?

I never cared for the Guidestones, but does it matter who made them, who blew them up, or whatever Illuminated monument that may or may not be put in its place? Not trying to be a poopy-pants, just genuinely asking. Thanks for educating me and others on the fact Stone Mountain and Mt. Rushmore were designed by the same man, makes me rethink the social engineering (not that I was for it) of wanting to remove Stone Mountain. It's interesting, because most of the Confederacy were either Freemasons or Knights of the Golden Circle, and the Union was led by a Rosicrucian (Lincoln) with Freemason Generals. That's where the term "Brother fighting Brother" in describing the Civil War comes from, as in the Masonic sense of "Brotherhood". Also rather interesting, is how the Freemasons view the "North" and the "South", one being a place of desolation and abandonment, like "winter".

@@mzdtmp2 , on the guidestones, I think it matters who blew them up and why. They should be prosecuted. Was it a group or individual or even the government? Who knows? I never got to see them. They simply were a curiosity. I've never heard that the north and south belonged to various different organizations like that. i don't doubt it. I find that interesting. I had read that one of the reasons for the war was the South brought in a lot of money through tariffs that the North didn't want to lose.

It should be finished as is. It was disrespectful to desecrate the land of the Native Americans like that. I am glad that they have started a carving of Crazy Horse to remind everyone who actually lived on this land for thousands of years.
