Two Minutes of your time, Crazy Horse Mountain Carving 2021

[@baronvonpiano7625]

Wow! I went as a kid in 2007 and while progress is slow, I can still notice a difference. I still hope that it gets finished in my lifetime, it would be incredible to see the full figure of Crazy Horse on a horse carved into a mountain.

[@llchase326]

I have visited Crazy Horse Monument several times over my lifetime. First, in 1974 with my parents, I remember it was just kind of an outline still. The second time was in 1977 when I was married and we went with friends. The third time was in 2000 with a friend and we spent the whole day touring the workshop and watching historical videos. The shops were gorgeous, but, I couldn't get over how much more had been done to the carving. I remember one of the guides saying it wouldn't be done in our lifetimes if they keep the schedule and construction as it is.

At the time construction started in 1948, the artist estimated the work would be complete in 30 years. As of 2022, there was no timeline for when the monument would be completed; however, the hand, arm, shoulder, hairline, and top of the horse's head were estimated to be finished by 2037.

If you guys do more KZbin videos on the memorial and do longer walk throughs and explore it more you will continue to get boost in viewing which in turn will generate profits. I am not sure how much money 45k views made you guys, but more views mean more money which in turn can help with something here or there. I love your other heritage videos.

I think that's kind of the reason it hasn't progressed. It relies on tourist dollars and donations. It's a non-profit as per the designers wishes. They do pull in a lot of money per year, but now it's even tougher to hired workers for it. It's too bad. I really thought that when I visited in the 1980's it would have been finished as well.

I have mixed emotions about it in a way, more than Rushmore. The Black Hills are a sacred place, but then a Lakota Chief did give them permission to do it. The traditional story is that this is where braves go and stay waiting for their eyes to adjust to the glorious sight of the happy hunting ground. But in another way, seeing Crazy Horse is a great reminder of so much and so many events that he was part of, and if I was just looking at a blank mountain it wouldn’t be the same, it’s more sacred now in a way. Just my opinion.

Something I don't understand. The tip of the finger in the 2021 shots looks like natural weathered stone surface, but in the 2018 shot the whole tip of the finger is cut stone. How is that possible?

[@masonmellinger5304]

According to the website, there is a fault by Crazy Horse's finger that goes down to the horse's mane. The sculptors had to alter the design so that instead of Crazy Horse pointing with his hand upright, it will have the palm flat on the horse's head. That means more time to sand and shape the finger. Otherwise if they went with the original design, the finger could snap off.
