And they’re near a volcano? Obviously, these are the pens where Xenu confined the Thetans before killing them.

I have read that Yemen which borders Saudi Arabia was once a lush, beautiful, well run country. That was before there was an Islam.

missile silos?

Up until 5000 years ago the sahara was a vast Savannah with many lakes. The same was true of saudi arabia and much of the middle east.

I wonder about this comment, “1,699 feet (518 m) long, or longer than an NFL football field”.

Yeah, way longer.

See. Global warming. </snark>

My first thought was camel pens.

[txnativegop]

Makes sense. they are quite large, caravan route?

I have Google Earth 'zeroed in' on that area right now. So far, I haven't seen any "gates" -- BUT, I have located a "4-spoked Wheel" structure at

Latitude 24.994513°

Longitude 39.934503°

Back to the search...

[BenLurkin]

Interesting!

[TXnMA]

I've found and placemarked additional "wheel" structures -- including concentric "wheels within wheels" -- but no linear structures like the ones in the article.

However, I've also found lots of apparent modern "aimless dirt moving" -- including a 3.5 mile long curving "dirt ridge", with regularly-spaced spoil dirt dump piles aligned on top of it. Only thing I can think of is an attempt at an earthen-fill dam -- in a place with no water...

If any of you do manage to locate some of these "gates", please ping me -- and include the Google Earth coordinates. Thanks!

Thanks BenLurkin and TXnMA. There are apparently prehistoric sites of this kind stretching from Syria to Yemen, and megalithic sites are also found across the gap, in Africa (see the search link above).
