The giant stone structures form wheel shapes with spokes often radiating inside. Here a cluster of wheels in the Azraq Oasis.

Is the opposite of the Mideast the Midwest?

If there is a Northwestern College and a Northwestern University, is there a Eastnortheastern or Southsouthwestern Community College somewhere?

Could be the remnants of ancient homesteads.

A circle encloses the maximum area within a given length of wall,A compound inside the outer wall would be divided into animal pens,storage,human shelter,garden?,privy,and whatever else might be needed.Bigger groups of people would have the time (and need) to wall (make secure) bigger areas.

You don’t need space aliens to explain every bit of ancient history.

This is just more “Chariot of the Gods” stuff - proof that the ancients were visited by aliens driving around in vehicles with spoke-wheels!!

O.K., I’m not the most popular Freeper but here’s the deal. It’s 2011 last time I checked; human beings have been flying airplanes now for near 100 years or more. And from Syria and over and throughout the Middle East, people have been flying aircraft since after WWI, (that’s world war one for those of you in Loma Linda).

And no one noticed and no one reported? No one noted and no one wrote anything in all those years? Sure, yea, that’s because..........they never looked DOWN! Millions of passenger/aviators, bored tourists on those planes that circle till you give in and buy a house on the Kibutz; they never once looked down! That’s why there’s a big blank spot all over the area known as the Middle East on Google Earth.....can’t look down there.

UNTIL NOW; Just DISCOVERED NAZCA LINES IN THE MIDEAST! Except of course........they’re NAZCA CIRCLES THAT WERE LINES! Oh, crap, who’s to quibble, line? Circle? it’s all the same after a few drinks.

No doubt homesites and animal pens but stone walls will generally have been built by slave labor ~ kept busy by owners to keep down trouble.

This looks exactly like the abandoned villages of Darfur.

Go to Google Earth and zoom in to Sudan, then go zoom in on the Crisis in Darfur special layer, zoom in, exactly the same.

Bramble enclosures to keep wild life out and domestic animals inside, with reed huts, stones used as sidewall buttresses.

I don’t see the similarity to Nazca. The Nazca lines are figures that take some complex planning to lay them out. These things seem pretty easy to visualise and to lay out on the ground. Some of these things., at least, have practical uses. The arabian structures are built up of stones. The Nazca lines are groundcover scraped away.
