Was it created by man, or by Mother Nature? That's what many are wondering about a giant face that appears to be carved into a cliff on a remote island near Vancouver Island.
Hank Gus of the Tseshaht First Nation had heard about the "face in the rocks" years ago. A Washington State kayaker stumbled upon the face back in 2008 while paddling past Reeks Island in the Broken Group Islands.
Gus had been searching for the carving for two years. Then, just a few weeks ago, he finally found the hidden treasure and took a cellphone video of the seven-foot-tall face carved into a cliff.
"It's quite noticeable from the water; It's pretty large," he says.
"It's about 40 feet up and from the top of the cliff, and it's about another 20 or 25 feet down, at least. It's high up and there's bunch of rock cliffs on the side and it's so hard to access."
When the kayaker stumbled upon the carving, she took pictures and sent them to Parks Canada but wasn't able to pinpoint the precise location. Parks Canada knew the island was in traditional First Nation territory, so contacted the Tseshaht administration office.
Gus finally found the carving a few weeks ago. He says, to him, the face appears to be blowing, and is perhaps a symbol of wind. The face reminds him of a wood carving on the door of the Tseshaht administration offices.
"It's something really similar to this face in the rock. Its name is Ugi and it describes when it's blowing the wind, it's sharing the history of our ancestors and keeping it alive," he explained.

That has to be man made. - That’s sort of like the load of hogwash the hippies made up about the serpent-shaped Indian mounds in N. America; that they weren’t manmade. I’m not a fan of The Twilight Zone. If something looks like a duck & quacks like a duck; I don’t have to wait for it to splat a load of poop on my face to admit it’s a duck! - That reminds me; one day a duck wadded into our living room, plopped a load of poop - splat! - on the carpet - then waddled out like it came in. (A Democrat Duck)
The answer, my friend, is blowin in the wind.

he says with a straight face.
A hippy, probably.
ROTFLMAO... (You had cola coming up out of my nose... like eating lunch in an public school cafeteria (40 years ago)).
Where’s Indiana Jones when we need him ?
It is nice to see a gift of a face in stone, since the one in New Hampshire, once engraved on U.S. quarters, and once revered by the Algonquin peoples, slid away in pieces, a few years ago.

Probably scheduled to be dynamited by the history revisionists.
Now THAT is scary!
I agree-—a natural formation like The Old Man of the Mountain was in N.H.

Brian Williams was there when it happened, but has been sworn to secrecy!
