They don't even exist. There are no glyphs in the Grand Canyon.

I was genuinely surprised that an explainer article like this exists. :)
I always forget looking up whether there isn't a couple decades of relevant backstory to the post before writing comments here.
Thankfully, when it comes to archaeology, there is no shortage of archaeologists getting pissed at this sort of bullshit that denigrates their field and their work.
On top of that, it's gotten armchair experts to damage important sites to "prove" aliens were there or whatever.
If you're interested, this is one of my most cherished books. I got it in college for a class and I've re-read it several times. The author of it actually frequents the group I get most of these posts from, so I got to tell him how much it's meant to me over the years. I highly recommend it.
