    Note that Tom Scott’s video is about the Uffington White Horse and the horse in OP’s post is the Cherhill White Horse.

    The Uffington White Horse was created some time between 1380 and 550 BC, during the late Bronze Age or early Iron Age.

    The figure was first cut in 1780 by Dr Christopher Alsop of Calne, who created it by removing turf to expose the underlying chalk.
