About this episode
It’s one of the most iconic structures in the United States – the giant
granite faces of four American presidents, staring out from the side of Mount Rushmore. But how do you carve faces out of a mountain? Why is the site in South Dakota? What lies hidden behind the faces, buried deep within the rock?
Today, investigators are piecing together the true story of Mount
Rushmore – and discovering that, one day, the carving of a Native American
chief will dwarf even the ‘Shrine to Democracy’.
