The mountain was named after Charles E. Rushmore, a prominent New York lawyer, in 1885.[5] The project of carving Mount Rushmore originally started with the purpose of increasing tourism in the Black Hills region of South Dakota. After long negotiations involving a Congressional delegation and president Calvin Coolidge, the project received Congressional approval. The carving started in 1927 and ended in 1941.

Mt. Rushmore was carved by sculptor Gutzon Borglum and his crew. It took them 14 years to complete the 60-foot tall faces of four U.S. Presidents--George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln--into a wall of exposed granite.

Carved into the southeast face of a mountain in South Dakota are the faces of four presidents, a memorial to American history. The faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln look down from their stony heights and remind everyone that even the impossible is possible.
Gutzon Borglum was the main artist, and he incorporated others

Well, not exactly. Many millions of years ago there was this little creature called a pre-historic mole. You see this ph mole was 60 meters long and had 7 digging claws on his head. It wanted a home so bad and he could not wait for one to evolve-so he started digging. He dug a hole right through thr earths mantel and went all the way to the core. Hot molten rock began to spew out and as it hardened it made Mt Rushmore. It started as a mole hole. The mole evolved in to a drilling rig.

I've seen photographs of Mt. Rushmore being carved. Do you have photos of the world being created?

That depends, are you talking about the actual mountain, or the big heads of our government figures of yore? The mountain itself was due to erosion, and other natural forces, and that may have made a good spot to carve Washington's head, but the was we see it today is man made.

Hahaha. I can't believe anyone actually believes that the faces of 4 US Presidents were carved in the rock face by natural erosion.
Did you know that the Statue of Liberty was found in a copper mine already formed like that, and all they did was dig it up?
