Could our planet Earth be one huge quarry?

"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck" - we all heard of this so-called "duck test". It suggests that a person can identify an unknown subject by observing that subject's habitual characteristics. For open minded people, the below "habitual characteristics" could become a sanity test as well.

If we take this "duck test" into consideration, than our planet Earth is nothing but one huge giant quarry. A type of quarry where coal, copper, uranium, nickel, gold and other natural resources were mined long (or not so long) time ago. Striking similarities could make an open minded person to, at least, look into the issue.

Below we can see the pictures of several quarries. These are the result of our civilization mining in various parts of the world.

The above quarries are gigantic in size. And the equipment used to produce such drastic terrestrial changes is impressive indeed. This equipment is presented below.

Bucket Wheel Excavators:​
Their larger models reach boom lengths of 260 feet (80m), weigh 13,000 tons, and move 12,500 m3/h. The largest BWE ever constructed is TAKRAF's Bagger-293, which weighs 14,200 tonnes and is capable of moving 240,000 cubic metres of overburden every day. Excavations of 497,000 cubiic yards (380,000 cubic metres) per day have been recorded.


Coincidentally there are some artifacts resembling the machines above. These artifacts are located throughout various museums of the world. They primarily represent Mesoamerican culture, and are dated around 1000 BC.

The above are explained as incenses, and pendants.

We also might have some depictions of the stone cutters, pertaining to the same time frame. It's very easy to dismiss these as pure coincidences, of course. But isn't it exactly the type of explanation we get all the time?

"Natural" Formations #1​
Now let us take a look at some of the prominent NATURAL objects. Supposedly they exist for tens of thousands of years. Some of those you might even be familiar with. Some are protected wonders of tourism. Below we have places like Grand Canyon, Antarctica, Greenland, Asian Mountains, Utah parks. These are just a few examples. You can easily find more. You might have seen some other ones yourself. Compare these to the quarries above.

Spoil Tips (artificial)​
Once all the minerals, (and what not) are taken out, we end up with Spoil Tips. A spoil tip (also called a spoil bank, boney pile, gob pile, bing, batch, boney dump or pit heap) is a pile built of accumulated spoil – the overburden or other waste rock removed during coal and ore mining. And here is what they look like. Once again, these are not natural formations. This waste is a byproduct of mining. Some are known to burn on the inside. Please google-help yourself.

So-called "Natura" Formations #2​
And below you can find various natural formations. In other words they were created by "mother nature". The below places are allover the world: China, Russia, Argentine, Japan, etc. We have Mount Fuji, Vesuvius, Etna, Salinas Lake, Santa Anna and a whole lot of others here. Additionally you can google Shikhan Mountains in Russia.

It might be a long shot, but judging by where our Uranium is... may be there is a reason the Grand Canyon looks the way it does. And may be the United States are not the first ones to mine it.


KD: I think this is too much to be just a coincidence. Looks to me like somebody might have done some major mining on our planet, and forgot to tell us about it. Then again, may be they did but it got "lost in translation" through all those burnt books and libraries. And may be that mountain next to you is just a gigantic spoil tip. Go figure now...

Bingo bango...this stuff is truly awesome. The research is mint and really does make one say hmmm..who woulda thunk that? Thank you for your research KD. Also love your blog intro. You are correct sir...damned if you do, damned if you don't. At the end of the day nothing really matters. Thank you for making me privy to your awesome website. Exciting info indeed. Mind blowing, cutting edge and full of truths. Much respect to you. Lelo approves ( yes, I am all of it; Dogon by blood, Lelo by design...that scene where she is hammering away at a massive plate of food and getting up to scratch with all she's missed...that's me 100%. Got to stop myself sometimes..lol
 
Very interesting. Oddly, every article is a mere regurgitation of the original with no new or different information.

perhaps their equipment wasn’t able to test, but how big are the holes? How deep? How far apart? What a tease

It's really fascinating when you think how many children's shows and movies center around the search for, or the ultimate discovery of, gold and other precious metals. Also really interesting when you think about many nations relying on the accumulation of gold/gold standard, and most people's work for monetary reward is ultimately storing up gold for our nation. we've been socialized to prize gold and precious metals. What kind of world would this be, if instead, we were socialized to focus on kindness or caring for each other, as the great reward?
 
there must be currents at every depth, of some sort at least. I can’t back that up with facts. I would expect the holes/mounds to be disrupted at some point. Also, the piles seem to be between the holes without and mounding to the sides… meaningful?

@Recognition youre right, our socialization is layers upon layers of perverse, material, selfish desire

YEA, EXCELLENT. Wow.
I read about this very thing in some site that a Russian guy did, and it certainly gives us the feeling, just as you've shown here, that they have been USING not only us, but our planet, just as some monetary fund for their own personal selfish ends.

Hm. Check out what I reread yesterday before I went to bed. I've wrote down this Theresa Talea's book into my own hand made book with onion skin, just to make it more pleasant to go through because it's so difficult to read. Then of course I colour parts and pieces in order to help understanding along, because it's so complex as well. And I've been studying it.

So here we go. Here's the excerpt on how we too are being mined ('mind'). Now don't anyone come down on me and judge me for the dates in this book, I'm not the one who wrote it; but do gather the concept behind what is said:

"Five hundred and sixty million years ago, Oraphims helped create Tara's Taraneusiam Angelic Human race with a 12-strand DNA template. Angelic Humans can bring their biological template to any Milky Way dimension and regenerate the Elohim and Seraphim DNA template, as well as other compromised Milky Way races. The official MCEO website explained in early 2012: "The Angelic Human Race was created as a race line that ANY other race line could incarnate into and pick up the codes needed to reclaim the possibility of 12 strand DNA activation and reconnection with their Cristos 'God' Self." The Angelic Human race line is our Human lineage!

[Corrections: Because the other races do not actually incarnate into the Angelic Human race, the ATI,TPE (All That Is, The Pure Essence) clarifies that it was created so that "any other race line could hybridize, partially or fully possess, or assimilate with the Angelic Human race." In addition, the MCEO previously revealed that the word "Christ" is a distortion. I do not know why it continued to perpetuate the unnatural word, instead of "Krysthal," but it is true that there is distortion in the Milky Way's HU-4. Accordingly, there is no need for the word 'God.']
(HU-4 is Harmonic Universe 4.
--We are in the 1st Harmonic Universe HU-1, which is comprised of dimensions 1, 2, and 3. Then you have HU-2 which comprises dimensions 4, 5, and 6. Then HU-3 is dimensions 7, 8, and 9. HU-4 is 10, 11, and 12th dimensions, and finally HU-5 is dimensions 13, 14, and 15, and then we are going inside the central sun of the galaxy which takes you into the Ecka realms. We, in the matter world, are in the Veca realm. The Levels started with ATI,TPE and Eia, Original Creator Father, and Mother. But they're not in the creation, they are outside of that; they are the Creators. The Levels in creation are: "A", Eckasha-Ah, Eckasha-Aah, Eckasha-1, Eckasha-A, Eckasha, Ecka, Veca. And then the knowledge that we have the Eternal realms where we originally came from, and we are in the not-eternal realms right now, so we have to struggle to get back into the Eternal realms, and that's what we are fighting for, our freedom to exist without negative entities attacking us constantly).

(This next statement is bull__, by the G.A.): Oraphims and Angelic Humans "were sent into this Time Matrix as a guardian, protector and 'healer' force intended to protect the 'living' Time Matrix from the Phantom Matrix system, and to assist if and when possible in the reclamation and redemption of the Fallen races and Universal Systems," states the GA (pg 396 of Voyagers 2. It actually starts off: "Human and Indigo races were sent into this Time Matrix...) However, the repeat offenders do not want the offer of our more natural presence, where those of us with pure intent can help direct the energy-matter of our universe's region toward what is eternally lasting. Instead, the table is turned against us with their religions that say we need their help and genetic manipulation for our 'healing.'
Anunnaki and similar fallen legions are currently attempting to misguide Humans in order to make us finite galactic beings instead of eternally capable beings. Phantom races and their semi-phantom supporters (like the MCEO-GA?) have joined forces to amplify their fight against the superior Human genetic coding, in preparation of the Earth's stellar activation and ascension process that started in 2000 A.D. They have chronically interfered with the Human lineage by hybridizing and debilitating our bodies into the Humans that we currently are. Their aim has been to fully Metatronically encode our bodies, as chapter 8 explains. But, a plethora of wonderful measures have been put into place by the Krysthal River Host and its allies, so there is boundless hope. However, we must be aware of the agendas at hand so we can determine which ones actually help us.
The following sections reveal the main alien groups working toward the Metatronic agenda. They operate within various religions so that they can brainwash us into following their sinister plans. We are another race in their track history of assimilations and potential extinctions. Do we really want to align with them ( a bunch of criminals) as our 'gods' or 'angelic' 'helpers'? (lol)

And then these are the chapter names of those factions: "Anunnaki Elohim," "Archangel Michael's Jesus Collectives," "Lucifer and Satan," "Ra Confederation of Planets," "Greys," "Thetans," "One World Order Agenda."

So you see, we too are being mined.

Thanks. Great post and interesting comments. Curiously many of those waste heaps are pyramidal in shape. Perhaps the Giza pyramids are also waste from quarry heaps with regular block facades added at a later stage. I think it's possible that the French may have added those facades to the waste heaps at the end of the 18th century.
As a side note, I've been researching the Rosetta Stone "discovered" by accident while reinforning a fort in 1799 by French engineer Pierre Bouchard.
The importance of the Rosetta Stone is that it allegedly unlocked the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Before then the meaning of hieroglyphics had been lost since they were last used almost a milliennia before. Although Champollion and Jones had made "progress" in decyphering hieroglyphics by the 1820s it was clear that much was known about hieroglyphics before Champollion and Jones. I found the following author using Google Ngram. Notice his reference to the Knights Templars being familiar with hieroglyphics. My point is that whatever hieroglyphics had to tell us about the story of Egypt was conveniently erased pre-1799. Any thoughts?

Hey @SiriusRising, in that third picture, where it says "The Destroying"... check it out! Doesn't that remind you of sound mechanics on a thin sheet of metal with sand on it? What is that called again? They were using SOUND mechanics to DESTROY with. I'm sure when one is an intelligent entity they would use that sound destruction technology for good purposes...but we all know they were not sane or good entities and therefore, as we can still see today the amount of destruction they use, hidden from us by their lies of "it's only natural nature doing it," that it's still going on. I mean, oh come on, look at the lazer attacks on California. They really want that land huh? Their fires are so unnatural it's a joke!

I remember some engineers telling me, while building a power plant, that gold could be extracted from ocean water?

A long time ago.
 
Great topic and great research as always KD.
I try to go out and look at controversial topics like this one, such as when I went over to West Port to the beach to look for curvature of the Earth. Didn't find any, of course.
I also went down to Monument Valley and the Valley of the Gods to take a closer look at this topic. I spent most of my time on Comb Ridge or in the Valley of the Gods just to the west of the ridge.

1662065382219.jpg
I had a hard time finding pictures that do it justice. I think the above picture is looking southsoutheast, I was mostly on the southern part of the ridge and then immediately to the west of it. Its very tall there, if you fall over the edge you won't survive, guaranteed.
When you are on top of it you are walking on what seems like just one huge piece of rock, continuous and formed in waves and swirls. The land to the west is made of layers, some of which are harder than others beneath, so the harder layers protrude and break off eventually.

1662065808650.jpg

​
This picture is kind of exotic compared to most of what one encounters, but you can get an idea of the different layers.
I stayed out there for two and a half weeks, camping. I went into town for supplies every 3-4 days and changed my camping spot.
My opinion is that Comb Ridge itself is one huge slag heap, what you are calling a spoil tip, that was being re-mined but not completed. It looks to me as if everything to the west of it, the whole Valley of the Gods, is the slag heap from the slag heap, so to speak. I think a lot of the slag was deposited wet and it then hardened into these various layers with various hardnesses and characteristics. That's my opinion based on first hand exploration and examination, but I'm always open to new info.

Anyway, as far as the whole world being a quarry, I'm not so sure. I currently live on the Palouse over here in eastern Washington and this place looks like prime mud flood country. If it was a quarry it would have to be buried under all these hills of soft dirt. I'm close to Pullman, which has some obvious mud flood buildings, and also Colfax. If you drive west or north of here, you can see a lot of those silicon tree stumps. Possibly whoever did that also did the quarrying, but the scale of the whole thing is just amazing.

So as I was heading to the Valley of the Gods, I was heading north having spent a night at the Hopi community center in their reservation. They were great people but the level of poverty there was eye opening. I had to go through Monument Valley which was jam packed with tourists who, apparently, hadn't heard of the Valley of the Gods, just to the north of it. As I was almost clear of the Valley of Monuments a couple of pedestrians crowded me as I drove through, anxious to get onto the road behind me. As I looked back, the man stood in the middle of the road with his arms up in the air, Rocky style (or victory style), with a butte in the background while the woman took his picture. I couldn't help chuckling to myself, wondering if he would have been so excited to pose for that picture if he had known that he was posing in front of the remains of an old quarry!
 
It’s amazing what you’ll find when just opening your eyes in your own back yard.

I’ve spent quite a few days trekking down to Bingen and back, which involves about an hour along the hood river. Talk about some interesting geography, including a LOT of hexagonal columnar basalt. Same thing on my last trip over the 410 to Yakima. It seems that everybody is conditioned to revel in the majesty of nature, but also to just accept what they see at face value.

here’s an aerial I took of Oregon/Idaho area:

looks like the earth was specifically removed from this location, an otherwise flat area pictured in the bottom right.
