Tuesday, 5th July 2005 by Alex

Well it’s gotta be Jesus, right? I mean that dude’s forever popping up in toast/paint/fungus etc. so why should sand dunes be any different?

    Oh man… that’s something. I mean, sure, the occasional slice of toast is understandable.. but Jesus must really be reaching out to the Google Maps users here! :O

  16. 16. Richard Barber says: July 6th, 2005 at 5:50 am

    Its called the “Perfil de Jesucristo” Jesus Christ’s Profile, manmade. Cuzco was central to Inca sun-god worship, and since Christianity made it to Peru, home to annual extreme neo-catholic ritual passion-play processions.

    Its in Cosco, Peru (Cuzco) http://www.sweetmarias.com/peru.gif
