We may be living in “Earth” 2.0.

Imagine our Planet full of people and the progression of knowledge not so different from what we see today.

An advanced/equal society that succumbed to the Earth itself rising up and folding over, burying virtually all traces of its former inhabitants.

Didn’t the Lord give this land to Joshua and the Hebrews?

The fact that these areas are barren now does not mean they always were. The Sahara was green and had lakes at 4 or 5 thousand years ago. They also state that there has been volcanic activity, so these are partly covered in ash.

Pre Roman Britain fields were long. It was hard to turn their plows around so they went straight as far as they could. As they turned up rocks they moved them to the edge of the fields. Over time they built up walls. Perhaps its ancient farmers. Or, they could be holding pens for herd animals, a Sheep fold.

The kite figure looks like its something you drive animals into to corral them.

They need to do some digging around for animal bones or petrified sheep dip.

Animal pens would be my first guess, but maybe they were property lines for agricultural fields? Divert some drying wind, or just provide and orderly way to handle the rocks plowed up when clearing the field?

Maybe they helped with some agricultural task, like a place to lay out some of the harvest for drying, while keeping it off the ground to minimize rot. Perhaps a vine plant might be trained to grow on the wall as a support, to keep it off the ground (like peas, melons or grapes).

The rocks may have been the base for an additional wood, lath, mud/mud brick or cloth structure; for support, containment, shelter or shade.

Amazing that rocks could stay stacked for thousands of years where the natives are known for destroying things.

Above is one of the round "rooms" found by the Desert Team where the lines of "kites" intersect. In the background, you can also see one of the low lines that extends from this "room."

Below is a good image showing how low the lines are.

There are similar structures in South America.

Archeologists thought those were for tax collection. (When ancient taxes were paid in grain and produce).

Probably animal pens. Very similar to the ones seen in Mexico and older S. Texas where stones are plentiful.
