Information
has glosseng: Gigantotomy is the art of carving human-shaped hill figures, gigantic figures visible in chalk or other light-coloured material. Located in upland areas of England, they are traditionally created by removing a layer of soil and turf so that the underlying layer of bright chalk is visible as a type of geoglyph designed to be seen from afar as a human figure. More recently, gigantotomers have applied other techniques to make the figures visible, including simply painting atop the grass for a similar, though far more temporary, effect.
