Mysterious Structures in Azraq -Jordan
Is it natural? Or man made?
A snake like large wheel-shaped made of stone that date back at least 2,000 years. These structures are often found on lava fields. These wheels stretch from Syria to Saudi Arabia, can be seen from the air but not the ground, and are virtually unknown to the public.
What Archaeologists say about these wheels:
Archaeologists used to believe that the Azraq Oasis wheels were used as a cemetery, although that is now in doubt.
Kennedy’s Theory: Dating the wheels is difficult, since they appear to be prehistoric, but could date to as recently as 2,000 years ago. The researchers have noted that the wheels are often found on top of kites, which date as far back as 9,000 years, but never vice versa. "That suggests that wheels are more recent than the kites,"
Amelia Sparavigna theory:, a physics professor at Politecnico di Torino in Italy, told Live Science in an email that she agrees these structures can be referred to as geoglyphs in the same way as the Nazca Lines are. "If we define a 'geoglyph' as a wide sign on the ground of artificial origin, the stone circles are geoglyphs," Sparavigna wrote in her email. The function of the wheels may also have been similar to the enigmatic drawings in the Nazca desert. Wondering if it were an airport for the flying saucers?????Trying to attract flying saucers to land??or necropolis??
