A pilot discovered the mysterious 2.6-mile-long geoglyph of an aboriginal hunter in 1998, etched into the earth, and to this day no one knows how it got there.

The Marree Man gained new life in 2016 when a group from the figure's namesake town of Marree plowed the lines to keep the man from fading due to erosion. Now, NASA is sharing an image taken in June showing the success of their efforts. So far, the restoration team's belief that their preservation will last longer than the original holds up. They created wind grooves, designed to trap water and encourage the growth of vegetation, according to NASA.

Read MoreCNN previously reported that Dick Smith, founder of Dick Smith Electronics and Dick Smith Foods, decided to tackle the mystery in 2016, and for two years his team pored over all the evidence to see what they could find.He believed it was professionally done, so in 2018 he offered a reward of $5,000 Australian dollars for anyone with information regarding its existence.

Amazing

Geoglyphs like this, which can only be seen from the air, have been and are continuing to be found all over the world. Could they have been etched by the same entities that do the crop circles? We are not alone!

Someone probably put it there

Thank you

Humanity

In all probabilityit maybe lava flowing down and leaving a mark on the stone surface which in any case has weathered. Maree Man is an interesting name to connect...Don't be too quick to paint a glorified story. Man was not adventurist ,only so perforce ,to survive.Remember!

It was done by the US military. They admitted it. They were having some fun.

'Fake News' says Trump.

Indigenous innovation that has yet to be discovered? Nah must be aliens.

Check out the Nazca lines

Holy wow.

I can help: It was etched in the earth by an Aboriginal hunter.

Hard to fathom that Indigenous people able to think outside the box before “civilization” came along and held everyone captive.

PattyArquette People made it. That's how it got there

It was me. It was a college prank. I was drunk.
