RAF Pilots Discover Ancient Stone Traps in Middle East
RAF pilots in the 1920s discovered over 6,000 stone structures known as 'desert kites' across the Middle East, which are invisible from the ground. These structures, resembling kites, consist of long stone walls converging into enclosures with tails, designed to trap animals. The walls, less than a meter high, are strategically placed along slopes to guide animals into pits. The oldest kites date back to the early Holocene, making them some of the most complex structures of their time. While primarily used for trapping wild game, some archaeologists suggest they may have also been used for managing livestock.
