There’s an area in South Dakota called Badlands. A part is open to tourists, another part is on Native American reservations. In old days it was known to be a stronghold of native Americans.
Modern science claims the structures have naturally formed over 75 Million years.
I’m proposing the Badlands of Dakota are the site of an ancient mega-city that was destroyed by rock-melting technology and bombing from the air.
To prove my point I’ll be using mostly old photos of the Badlands, when the structures were less eroded and this truth was easier to see.

This place used to be called “The Castle of a Thousand Rooms”. But it’s no longer so named today.
Does this really look like naturally formed rock to you? Or rather a destroyed palace of many pillars?

In old drawings, Badlands look much more like a city. A cropping from the drawing above:


Where else does nature make towers like this?



Where else does nature make balls?


The native name for these Badlands is “Macko Sicka” which sounds suspiciously like “Make Sick. It wouldn’t be the first time native Americans spoke English but were misinterpreted as speaking their native language.
Why are these bad lands so bad? Why do they make sick? Because of the residue of chemical warfare?
Another native American term for the area was “Mankizita-Watpa” which scholars claim means “smoking land river”. Did the chemical fallout give it the appearance of smoking for some time?
The bolding in the following quotes is mine.
“The earliest known description of the region, believed to be the White River Badlands, is that of James Clyman, a member of Jedediah Smith’s 11-man party, who passed through the area in 1823. Clyman described it as
. . . a tract of county whare no vegetation of any kind existed being worn into knobs and gullies and extremely uneven a loose grayish coloured soil verry soluble in water running thick as it could move of a pale whitish coular and remarkably adhesive there [came] on a misty rain while we were in this pile of ashes [bad-lands west of the South Fork of the Cheyenne River] and it loded down our horses feet (feet) in great lumps it looked a little remarkable that not a foot of level land could be found the narrow revines going in all manner of directions and the cobble mound[s] of a regular taper from top to bottom all of them of the percise same angle and the tops sharp the whole of this region is moveing to the Misourie River as fast as rain and thawing of Snow can carry it . . . “
This is the earliest description of the Badlands we have and it mentions piles of ashes, like in the aftermath of war. If this war indeed happened, as I say, then it must have been around this time.
“When Maximilian, Prince of Wied, returned to Fort Pierre in 1834 after making his historic journey up the Missouri with Charles Bodmer, William Laidlaw, the trader of the fort, gave him a description of the Badlands. The German prince wrote:
. . . I much regretted that I could not remain long enough to visit the interesting tract of the Mauvaises Terres, which is some days’ journey from hence. Mr. Laidlow [sic], who had been there in the winter, gave me a description of it. It is two days’ journey, he said, south-west of Fort Pierre, and forms, in the level prairie, an accumulation of hills of most remarkable forms, looking like fortresses, churches, villages and ruins, and doubtless consisting of the same sand-stone as the conformations near the Stone Walls. He further stated that the bighorn abounds in that tract.”
“Father de Smet visited the Badlands region in 1848. He described it as
. . . the most extraordinary of any I have met in my journeys through the wilderness . . . . Viewed at a distance, these lands exhibit the appearance of extensive villages and ancient castles, but under forms so extraordinary, and so capricious a style of architecture, that we might consider them as appertaining to some new world, or ages far remote”.
Early travelers to the area see what I see.
“One of the party was a Frenchman, E. de Girardin, a soldier of fortune employed as an artist on the expedition. His story of the trip was published in 1864 in a French travel magazine, Le Tour du Monde. After climbing a hill about a hundred meters (about 330 feet) high, he beheld “the strangest and most incomprehensible view.”
At the horizon, at the end of an immense plain and tinted rose by the reflection of the setting sun a city in ruins, appears to us, an immense city surrounded by walls and bulwarks, filled by a palace crowned with gigantic domes and monuments of the most fantastic and bizarre architecture. At intervals on a soil white as snow rise embattled chateaus of brick red, pyramids with their sharp-pointed summits topped with shapeless masses which seem to rock in the wind, a pillar of a hundred meters rises in the midst of this chaos of ruins like a gigantic lighthouse”.




Notice here the rectangle front right, on top of which grass is growing.
If we start digging here, what will we find?
Or perhaps the many “gold diggers” of the 1800s have already looted the area. South Dakota experienced the usual “gold rush” in the mid 1800s and mines were set up throughout the country. The 1800s also saw the rise of Secret Societies throughout North America. Many of these Secret Societies were connected to mining. I wonder what was so secret about mining?







This formation used to be called “Castle of the Ancients”.
This is supposed to be a map of fur trading posts in South Dakota in the early 1800s. According to official History, modern South Dakota began as a fur trading post.

It’s interesting that all forts are set up along Missouri river, almost as a wall or separation of the badlands from the rest of the state.
In the Mythology of the Sioux natives there is a figure called Wakinyan. As described in my books, the ancient German word “Wak” (Wagon) usually referred to ships or flying vehicles) and “Da Kota” is ancient German for “the Gods” or “people of God”.
Wakinyan is translated as “Thunderer”, “Thunderbird” and “sky spirit”. In their legends, Wakinyan is associated with the Badlands of Dakota. When Wakinyan flies it “makes the sound of thunder” and it’s eyes shoot lightning. The Wakinyan is said to be the enemy of the horned Serpent named Unktehi.
According to the Lakota natives… (bolding mine)
“On the morning of a planned attack the great spirit, dismayed by such blatant disrespect, caused a powerful storm to formulate in the skies above. Dark clouds blocked out the sun, while Wakíyaŋ’s thunderous crack rumbled across the horizon. Lightning struck the lands and fire erupted from the depths of the Earth. A great chasm splintered the lands, swallowing the disobedient malcontents and with them all the lush grasslands, abundant streams, plants & animals, leaving behind the barren wasteland known as the Mako Sica (Badlands); forever reminding future generations the cost of hubris and greed”.

The strongest proof of history-faking we have for South Dakota is this:
The Wikipedia page timeline of South Dakota lists events there in the 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th Century. Europeans arrived in the 16th Century. In the 1600s it was part of an English territory called Rupert’s Land. In the 1700s it was part of a French territory called La Louisiane.
And yet, the very first travelers report comes from 1823?
And there are no drawings, paintings or pictures to be found prior to the mid 1800s?
Here’s a page of historical maps of South Dakota. They all begin around 1890. Why? Historians tell us that “History” has been ongoing for a thousand years and Europeans have been there for 500 years but there are hardly any maps or pictures to prove it.
Most maps of La Louisiana end in Minnesota, omitting South Dakota:

Most maps of Rupert’s Land, omit anything outside of Canada:

Old maps of America often omit anything west and north-west, including Dakota. Sometimes the space is left blank, as in the map below, other times it’s called “Land Unknown”, “Land of Giants” and “Land of Cannibals”.

Do you understand how unlikely it is that these parts remained unknown for hundreds of years?
Much more likely that they were inhabited by “the enemy” – from the settlers perspective. I found only this map of La Louisiana that included the area in question:

We see Missouri river branching off of the Mississippi. Where we would expect the “badlands” to be, we instead find places called Pania, Padoucas and Padoneas (Pad-lands?) The Padoucas natives are said to have been one of the most brave and warlike tribe of natives.

This is from a History website, bolding mine:
The Padouca were of an “unknown race and language,” with habits in many respects dissimilar from any other nation. Instead of being indiscriminately thrown together in a confused mass of lodges, their villages were laid out regularly with streets, which formed squares, as in a modern city. The houses were neatly built, and the Indians, in intelligence and living habits, ranked higher than the more eastern tribes, who were almost continually at war. Little is known of their history after the visits of the French during the first quarter of the 18th century.

I took a one hour Google Maps excursion of the land directly adjacent to the Badlands. What did I hope to find?
On the outskirts of a bombed area we usually find anomalies because bombings from the air are rarely thorough.
I found weirdness everywhere I looked. Had I spent more than an hour on this, no doubt I’d have found much more.
I discovered fields shaped or outlined like Pyramids or hinting at Pyramids below. This one is at the coordinates @43.8344598,-101.1207396,324:

This one is at the coordinates @43.6902459,-101.5498795,877

These locations are viewable from a highway “street view” perspective. From there, no noticeable elevation is seen. The anomaly is only visible from the air. Either I don’t understand modern farming techniques or we have yet undiscovered Pyramids in the plains of South Dakota.
A found more than a dozen fields that have what I’d call “bullet holes” or “bomb scatter”. Some of these were on what appears to be unused land, others seemed to be part of farms.


I imagine rock-melting chemicals, some of which might have spilled onto adjacent land, leaving permanent damage.
I spotted about half a dozen features that I reckon are bomb-impact craters. There’s no other way I can explain the lines radiating from them. Location: @43.6909017,-101.0659565,94

Location: @43.5218365,-101.2344018,151

I later learned that the Badlands were used as a bomb-testing range for the U.S. Military in WWII, according to Wikipedia.
This might explain the impact craters and also the “bullet holes”. But I’m skeptical. The area was designated a National Monument in 1929. How likely is it that a National Park would be used as a bombing range? It’s possible that this story was invented to serve as an explanation for all the anomalies we see in the landscape around the Badlands.
As usual, we find perfectly straight, ancient lines in the landscape, some of which have been repurposed as modern highways.


And then there are the things which I won’t even bother trying to explain:


We see intelligent design, but it serves no modern purpose. I have yet to see anyone come forward to explain it to us.
Summary of Evidence
The natives say the Badlands area was destroyed by a Thunderbird-Ship from the air. We avoid the area ever since.
1800s Travelers said the Badlands look like a destroyed city of castles and palaces.
Google Maps shows proof of ancient high-tech activity.
The History of South Dakota pre-1820s is almost non-existent even though there should be drawings, paintings or reports of La Louisiana and Rupert’s Land.
The structures in the Badlands don’t look natural. In the old days they were labeled as castles.
If someone asked me “Where should I dig to find evidence of the things you’re saying?” I’d say “Start in South Dakota”. However, the Badlands were declared a National Park so there won’t be any digging going on there anytime soon.
