2 months agoKinda wild they built this 3k years ago. Usually this sort of thing is only done now because it can be seen from the air, but back then it would have been hard to see it in its entirety.
Maybe they had alien friends and it was like a visual street address for the saucers to find them by.
Or maybe they had a high point or tower nearby so you could see it from there, who knows.
Excellent—thanks for explaining that, makes a lot more sense.
