- Ghoelian 10mo agoThere's also some better pictures in one of the article's sources: https://web.archive.org/web/20160205050218/http://strzyzewski.info/exploration_98.html https://web.archive.org/web/20160205050218/http://strzyzewsk...
- nandomrumber 10mo agoThat’s a lot of holes. It seems obvious to me they were made by the landing pylons of heavy-lift alien spacecraft.
- omnicognate 10mo agoEven more holes than Blackburn, Lancashire. At 1m diameter and 75cm deep, so ~0.59m^3, I calculate that to fill the Albert Hall, which a search suggests "has been estimated at" ~100,000m^3 (feels low to me, but it's quoted in many places), it takes around 170,000 of these Peruvian holes.
- nandomrumber 10mo agoThere’s an Albert Hall where I live, it’s probably much smaller than its name sake. I think we can fill it.
