See what you think, but this appears to be gibberish. A crypt "150 and 180 meters in length" and "over 9 meters in height"?!? If it were a large underground chamber constructed (as in Petra, which is a thousand miles away or something) to capture runoff from the intermittent rains, yeah, but these dimensions would correspond to possibly the largest carved underground structure from antiquity.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

INVENTORY OF TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE TO COMBAT DESERTIFICATION

Archaeological site of Qana (Yemen). The Qana promontory on the Indian Ocean is equipped with various types of water harvesting devices.

Crypt? Maybe it's a water-storage device, roofed over, as were similar at Petra.
