I don't know, looks like hunting walls to me. When chased, animals naturally follow such walls, however insignificant they are (sometimes they follow even a line drawn on the grass), and get onto predictable trajectory leading them into ambush.
- AlotOfReading 1y agoI'm curious how you came to that conclusion. Nothing about these walls resembles desert kites that I can see, except that they both use natural materials in an arid climate.
- Aspos 1y agoAs a child growing up in Central Asia, I saw people piling up stones, sticks, and other debris along the ancient lines people used to control herds and wild animals. The ones built for hunting often had a narrow, funnel-like end, while those meant for managing herds could take on almost any shape. One of the photos in that article looks exactly like the walls I remember from my childhood.
- AlotOfReading 1y agoYeah, but it's an overkill 2m wide and doesn't have a funnel, nor does it use the topography well for kite. And the fortification is a 100m+ square. Like I said, the materials are similar. The design isn't.
