FYI, the mountain was originally called "Six fathers" and was a holy site for the natives. The project was actually never approved or agreed upon by all parties, rather so spontaneously made and never completed.
In other words, it was desecration and utter disrespect. And then the project was even left unfinished
Edit: the person who desecrated six fathers by creating Rushmore, was apparently actually a KKK member and white supremacist
It was started by a random guy, and iirc he did it because he knew it was sacred
Yup! Fully correct
As someone who lives in South Dakota, I feel compelled to add that he was a white nationalist who was involved with the KKK. There is nothing good or respectable about Mt. Rushmore, and the only awe it inspires is a feeling of dread at how deeply racist my state and nation are.
I don't think it was done overnight. And if no-one stopped him earlier, then that rock wasn't that sacred apparently.
The lazy and religious(insane) project manager didn’t even bother to clean up the rubble.
Like, they just left a giant pile of rocks right under the faces, it’s incredibly ugly and the pictures conveniently leave it just out of the frame.
It’s still there lol
It's funny that in one of civ games, this "wonder" is unlocked by... Fascism tech
