'Taint what a horse looks like, it’s what a horse be.
My exact first thought too. The land is in her bones.
Kinda wild they built this 3k years ago. Usually this sort of thing is only done now because it can be seen from the air, but back then it would have been hard to see it in its entirety.
Maybe they had alien friends and it was like a visual street address for the saucers to find them by.
Or maybe they had a high point or tower nearby so you could see it from there, who knows.
Usually they are the somewhat steep hills or with an opposing cliff, giant dick guy is viewable without being in the air today and this one probably is too.
Angled like so.

Uffington white horse , it’s a bit figural and looks a lot like a river in certain angles.

Excellent—thanks for explaining that, makes a lot more sense.
Edit: giant dick guy is hilarious—must be amusing for locals living near a gigantic Bronze Age keith Harring graffiti 24/7
They should look for a giant chalk Orville nearby.
It’s for a god I think
An explanation that had not occurred to me, but definitely makes sense in this context.
A lot of ancient stuff is aligned with celestial phenomena. Pyramids for example have little tunnels that point at specific stars iirc.
You could say that the roots of science lay in astrology. They spent a lot of time trying to figure it all out.
Would make a nice tattoo, imo
That is super cool.
