Windevoid Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I found this on Google Earth in Egypt, but what is it? 22°47'51.75"N 31°32'39.42"E I at first thought it was a construction project, but I don't see any bulldozers or small foreman offices. And I don't think sand dunes look like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unity+ Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 You have to zoom in more. No matter how much you zoom in it is still a rock formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think sand dunes look like this. Definitely looks like bulldozer marks. I did a bit of googling and found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Valley_Project http://wikimapia.org/27465/Sheik-Zayed-Canal It looks like they were building irrigation reservoirs like at coordinates 22.80089,31.478651. Without doing proper research, I suspect that the canal might have been planned on a straight path (leading past near your find), but had to be diverted for whatever reasons. It could be an abandoned site. No matter how much you zoom in it is still a rock formation. That's some good work, Lou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
