Ancient Mystery Erased: Border Wall Bulldozes Carving Predating the Pyramids in Arizona
Russ McSpadden/Center for Biological DiversityIn the words of the Center for Biological Diversity, “This is an irreplaceable piece of human history that’s been permanently scarred.”
However, McSpadden and the study authors warn that more protections and cautionary measures need to be taken in future border wall construction.
“The circumstances with respect to the Las Playas Intaglio furthermore are especially alarming given the federal government’s plans for additional border wall enhancements,” wrote Whitley and Dorn.
According to the Center for Biological Diversity, much damage has already been done during border wall construction, like the blasting of Monument Hill, a burial ground sacred to the O’odham Tribe in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, in 2020.
And in 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security attempted to waive various environmental, cultural, and public health laws in order to speed up construction on the border wall in southern Arizona.
“Imagine the worldwide outrage if a government bulldozed part of Stonehenge to build a wall,” McSpadden said. “This sacred place is even older. Indigenous heritage deserves that same commitment to protection. Congress needs to demand records and testimony establishing who authorized and carried out the work. People deserve to know what warnings were given and why safeguards, if they existed, failed.”
