Looks like it! Or perhaps pits for pit-and-pebble games like Mancala.

The answer is always, this was some religious temple based on tracking the solstices. They don’t need any proof or evidence. Its just the default answer for anything they can’t explain. “We don’t know” is never allowed.

Yes, I do love how “religious ceremony” is always the go-to answer. Maybe it’s their version of an art museum or antique car show. They have no idea.
To: BenLurkin
They contain several details, such as crossing ribs and holes likely showing the placing of masts and thwarts.
Blueprints, maybe? So they can be sure they're making them the same way every time?

I've heard stories of museums labeling object as "prayer sticks" or "religious objects", only to have some craftsperson come in and point out that no, those are drop spindles. And this thing here is for leatherworking.
I would love to get a close look at devices like the Antikythera Mechanism. I strongly suspect they were manufacturing tools, and not astronomy tools like they're assumed to be.

I don’t know if it explains it but that sure is an interesting little fact.

Is it possible that sometimes ancient folks got bored and were just killing time banging away at rocks?
