一幅高達3.5公里的巨型地畫「馬里人」（Marree Man），自1998年神秘出現在澳洲後，其創作背景與手法至今成謎。近日美國航太總署衛星影像再度捕捉到這一奇觀，引發全球關注。

16天速成巨畫
「馬里人」於1998年6月26日由一名飛行員首次發現。衛星影像分析顯示，地畫是在16天內迅速完成，現場遺留250根竹樁作為標記點，增添神秘色彩。

因常年風蝕，原始刻線幾乎消失，2016年當地商人動用挖掘機與GPS系統重新刻畫，並設計溝槽收集水分，期望形成綠色邊界。
創作者身份眾說紛紜
地畫創作者身份至今未明，外界猜測包括已故澳洲藝術家戈德堡，或因現場發現美國國旗牌匾及傳真使用美式英語，懷疑與附近美軍人員有關。澳洲企業家史密斯更於2018年懸賞5000澳幣（約2.5萬港幣），希望解開這一謎團。
