I’m not convinced. This may be a case of people seeing what they want to see.
Looks like a simple LIDAR search.
I watched a good show on PBS (yeah, yeah, I know) last week about the “desert kite” version of these structures found in some desert locations in current day middle east and northeast Africa. I found the evidence and argument that these structures were truly designed to funnel running herd animals into deep kill pits to be very convincing. One of the better PBS science shows I’ve seen recently.
