Source: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/google-earth-leads-discovery-400-stone-gates-saudi-arabia-180965364/ (With the help of Google Earth, researchers examining the deserts of Saudi Arabia have found around 400 unreported stone structures in the Arabian Desert, likely built by nomadic tribes thousands of years ago.

The researchers aren’t sure exactly how old the structures are or what their purpose may have been.) https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/17/science/saudi-arabia-gates.html (Many of the stone figures in both countries are in basalt fields known as harrats. The fields often feature dried up lava streams that twist and turn like slithering snakes across the dark landscape.)
