Monument Butte on the day of discovery

On the morning of September 18, 2025 I followed a gravel road, which soon became a one lane track, into the back country. Miles and miles of ancient stone faces and even a few full body effigies covered the rolling hills and high mountain sides. Some were created out of volcanic stone, others were granite, shale or limestone. Some were humongous and others were small. There were several collages depicting characters from ancient stories. Huge free standing monoliths, sections of buildings and ancient walls covered the rolling hills.
I took hundreds of photos and a few videos from early dawn until dusk. It will take several seasons to document this new site that I named Birdtail Monument Complex.

Star Map Wall is filled with faces and recognizable images which protrude from the background rock. These faces look out over another grass covered valley. Star Map Reader is a free standing elongated head next to what appears to be a star map. The black square in the lower recessed segment of the map is reminiscent of the symmetrical images seen on the satellite scans showing ancient technology underground.

"Standard geology tells us that the Earth and the life that inhabits it has changed incrementally over eons of time for many millions of years. The processes thought to have shaped our planet’s landscape are wind and water erosion, volcanism, earthquakes, and random bombardments from space.
"Of course, a guide that scientists use to determine when a life form existed and how it evolved is the fossil record. Conventional theory tells us that the process of fossilization takes no fewer than 10,000 years. However, countless archaeological findings suggest a “radical” alternative — that the remains of some animals and other organisms were fossilized not over eons of time, but instantaneously."

Birdtail Family Gathering
Birdtail Family Gathering features a sitting female statue, with an elongated head, holding an infant with her right arm. She appears to be sitting on the lap of an man and gazing out over the valley.
Who are these stone beings and how were they created here in Montana? We are beginning to understand more as researchers all over the world are finding similar stone beings and ancient intentional construction in several countries. Intentional Ancient Construction

Koala Bear is leaning against a rock outcropping in the Birdtail Monument Valley. His "glossy" right eye sparkles in the sunlight. There are several flash fossilized beings in the Montana Megaliths with glossy eyes. |

Double Sphinx
Even thought we took several photos of the Double Sphinx at different times of the day, it was difficult to capture a clear image. At the base is a sphinx that faces left. Both paws are extended forward, there is a face hidden in shadow. This smaller Sphinx has a sway back and a raised rump. Above is a much larger Sphinx facing right. Large Sphinx has a lion face with an open mouth and a small right eye. The defining features are much easier to see in 3-D.
Conversations at Birdtail with Anthony Castro
Another beautiful day exploring Birdtail Complex. This is the seventh year that Anthony Castro has found new sites and artifacts in the Montana Megaliths. Tony has lived in megalithic sites all over the world for the majority of his adult life and brings vast expertise and experience here to Montana.

Spiral Eyes
There appears to be a petroglyph panel on the neck of Spiral Eyes. I can make out
an X and a few lines.
We will have to hike up closer to make out the details.
