    Could you imagine someone in the far future accidentally stumbling upon these and having no historical context for what they were?

      "We have determined that the inhabitants of this planet...called earth...was once populated by beings about 75 feet tall, of which, 15 feet was the head. Our conclusion is that these beings' heads would fossilize upon death, while the rest of the body rotted away, leaving only the fossilized head. All this planets inhabitants appear to be Caucasian males, which might possibly explain their extinction"

    Amazing quality of the sculpting on those heads. Much better than most wax museums. It would be interesting for you to track down where the heads were made and interview them as to how they did it and how long each head took . Good Vlog.

    • @TheCarpetbagger

      +Robothut there are two other similar parks with similar structures that are also closed down....I have heard they all used the same molds

    Those head busts are really well done. The likeness to the actual people is amazing but unsettling, all at the same time. Maybe each head bust could be restored and shipped to the respective home towns, of each former president. It reminds me of a documentary I saw where Russia has a graveyard of statues of former leaders.

    • @agerven

      Good idea, of putting these busts in their respective home towns!

    • @DonnaBrooks

      These would be excellent as part of the Smithsonian Collection, or to send to each Presidential Library or museum, or to have on the National Mall, Lafayette Park (across the street from the White House, or for the White House itself, where they could be displayed on a rotating basis, based on birth month or a significant anniversary (when they took office, famous speeches, deaths, etc.) For example, Jefferson & Adams died on July 4, 1826, exactly 50 years after the Declaration of Independence was ratified. It would be cool to display their statues along with that story in July 2026!

    Sad to see all this go to rot. And if I remember correctly, Adam the Woo saw something similar with the presidents heads in Texas. It was in Houston Texas where Adam saw the presidents heads. He said a man started two separate parks the displayed
    the presidents and unfortunately both are closed and the presidents busts are slowly rotting away...

    too bad people have zero respect. at all. no wonder this country is in the state it is in.
    fact is, obviously they couldn't even afford to maintain what they have, therefore it was probably good old GW's fault since he DID get the last bust. ijs. logic.

    Enjoyed the video. I wonder if the holes in the tops of their heads had something to do with making it possible to transport them with as little damage as possible to the structures. Perhaps a way for the crane to get a good grasp on the inner frame?
    BTW: Very inconsiderate of those others to be climbing all over these busts. It is people like that who contribute to the damage and deterioration of things like this. :(
