Ryan, During the era of Conquering indigenous populations the lands were all mined for Gold. The most precious metal that would put you close to God in the afterlife. Donate it all to the Vatican and you buy your way closer to him.
While this happened they erected bill boards on mountains for giant signs so they could navigate through hostile territories and find precious water for drinking. We see billboards everyday along our highways just as they saw and used their billboards for direction.
Think of it as a not so convenient store or a of the path Truck Stop.
They had no other technology or raw materials but the mountains themselves.
It was a very different time and very different mindset.
It's hard for us to fathom in todays world.
There is so few who can see this. I like it when it snows as they stand out really good then. I may have to go take some pictures to add to this post.
