Recent satellite images have uncovered a series of interlocking circular stone formations in Hali, Al-Qunfudhah governorate, Saudi Arabia. The structures, made of volcanic rock, are arranged in a pattern that has intrigued archaeologists and historians. Dr. Mohammed Al-Marhabi, a historian, has suggested the formations may have been used to track weather patterns and celestial movements.
The discovery, made through recent aerial surveys, highlights the area’s historical significance. The circular formations are believed to date back to ancient times, possibly serving as a tool for early civilizations to understand their environment. Al-Marhabi noted that the precise alignment of the stones suggests a level of sophistication in ancient engineering.
This find adds to Saudi Arabia’s growing list of archaeological discoveries aimed at uncovering the country’s pre-Islamic past. The region has seen several similar finds in recent years, including rock carvings and ancient settlements. These discoveries contribute to a broader effort to map and understand the cultural and scientific achievements of early human societies in the Arabian Peninsula.
