trucking services cavite Ozymandias legs of Amarillo, TX in 4K

Just off the interstate highway heading south on I-27 out of Amarillo, 2 gigantic legs in athletic socks can be seen. You wouldn't know it, but they are in fact the shattered likeness of an Egyptian king."Ozymandias" is the Greek name for Ramesses II and was the inspiration and name of a famous poem written by Romantic poet Percy Shelly after a visit to the ruins in 1818.

Stanley Marsh 3 (who commissioned Cadillac Ranch https://youtu.be/YtROxx_StFc ) paid a guy named Lightnin' McDuff to build the legs.

Plaque reads:

"In 1819, while on their horseback trek over the Great Plains of New Spain, Percy Bysshe Shelley and his wife Mary Shelley (author of Frankenstein), came across these ruins. Here Shelley penned his immortal lines, among them:

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert... And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'

The pedestal near the monument also asserts that the visage of the king was destroyed by Lubbock football players after losing a game to Amarillo, which while plausible, is of course false.

The sculpture was built by local artist by self-taught artist Lightnin’ McDuff, who specializes in altering found objects to make new pieces of art. The sculpture has been vandalized numerous times, most notably with the addition of socks to the legs. Occasionally the sock vandalism is sandblasted off of the sculpture, but always seems to reappear. The locals appear to prefer the king's legs be kept warm.

Thank-you for all your comments and viewing the video. I have other videos on my YouTube page.
