Thousands of huge
ancient structures
made of stone are clearly visible from the air. Their age is estimated
to thousands of years and their purpose remains unknown. These puzzling
wheel-shapes, and straight lines, stretch all the way from Syria to
Saudi Arabia. Some call this area the Middle East's own version of the
Nazca Lines.
It is only recently, with help of satellite images, that archaeologists
have been able to explore this region in more detail. As a result, the
resolution of available images is now generally high enough to conduct
reliable, general archeological surveys.
