I've been out to see the rock "walls" several times now. Because of the slope on either side, these stacked rocks always gave me the impression of
something to used divert/contain livestock than the remnants of something more structurally significant. The dead palm tree at the bottom of the slope
that David K mentions in an earlier report was also intriguing - so atypical and out of place for that region. Who planted it, and why? Never came
across the "sleeping circles" that Choral pepper references, either on foot or with Google Earth. I was searching for these on the flat mesa like
clearing south west of the walls on the same outcrop. But perhaps, I've bee looking in the wrong places.
But the cave on the south side of the outcrop is something new to me. I don't recall anyone on this board posting about it, and these drone shots are
the first time I've seen it.
I would be interested to know if Geoff took the time explore the area around the cave on foot. If so, what were his impressions on the area -
coincidental geology? Potentially habitable? It looks to be quite large, but the boulders hanging off it's roof perhaps make an entrance into the cave
appear precarious.
Looking forward to what Geoff has to say... |
