| 89446 (OP) User ID: 1022006 Romania09/03/2010 09:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A photo posted much lower to the south of the site claims that's a "plantation beside the Nile valley". Some of the circles do have a green hue.... but sure is a strange plantation. First, it's nowhere beside the Nile, it's in the freaking desert.

Each has some sort of small building in their center. If you zoom at 28°25'17.49"N 30°28'59.21"E you can clearly see that white building is pyramid shaped. WTF? Those are irrigation farms. They are calling "Center pivot irrigation" systems and basically the "pyramid" as you call it is the center of the system and the irrigation arm swings around in a circle. They have them all over the world in areas that do not have a lot of ground water. Here is a link [link to ga.water.usgs.gov] |
