Someone left these marks in the sand. We had to find out who.

Deep in the Sahara, far from any towns, roads, or other signs of life, is a row of markings in the sand. There are dozens of them stretching for miles in a straight line in central Algeria, each consisting of a central point surrounded by a circle of 12 nodes, like numbers on a clock. And when we started making this video, no one seemed to know what they were.
We first saw the circles back in September 2021, after finding a Reddit post on r/WhatIsThis with coordinates asking what the circles could be. With just two upvotes and two commenters, it wasn’t exactly a lively discussion. But seeing the circles themselves on Google Earth was fascinating: They were eerily perfect in their shape and regularity, but so deeply isolated in the desert. We were hooked on finding an answer.
So we decided to make a video out of trying to solve the mystery, no matter where it took us. We documented every step of the process - from Zoom calls and web browser screen recordings to vlogs and field shoots - to show the reporting process from the inside out. And when we maxed out what we could learn on the internet, we handed over this story to a team in Algeria to take it all the way.

@hodwooker5584 4 месяца назад

I was an employee of a company called Western Geophysical in 1968 to 1969. The company performed seismic surveys all over the region of Sweetwater County in Wyoming. A typical shot required a drill hole 100 to 150 feet deep. A 5lb stick of Dynamite would be placed at the bottom of the drill hole. We would back fill the hole and then the charge would be detonated with an electric cap. The sensors would pick up the vibrations and the data would be recorded for later analysis. Our crew was among the last of the drill and blast teams. If you research the subject you should find that an incredible number of these shot holes have been a real problem. A fair number of the shots would be wet, below the water table that is. Often these holes would”blow out”. That is the back fill would fire out of the shot hole like a shot gun. These holes were very difficult for the crews to fill back in. The standard practice was to stuff drilling mud bags and sage brush as far down as we could and scrape what ever dirt and rock that we could after the bags and brush. A very large number of these holes have opened up to the surface and have developed into rather large hazards. We had no idea that a 4 inch hole could collapse into its self and surface like they have. I really don’t know if The company knew about this collapse or not. But i am sure that most if not all of the field hands had no idea. Our surveys were not circular the drill holes were laid out in a straight line and ran for many miles. The last of the surveys i worked on were in of the Jim Bridger Power plant and coal mine. The power plant was still under construction at that time.

@mansoimanmansoi Год назад

I’m a geophysicist, and it was amazing to learn about this small piece of geophysics history! Some points to add: - As mentioned in the video, geophysical surveys requires a ‘source’ to generate acoustic wave that travels down and bounce off rock layers underneath. - The ‘source’ used to be dynamite in the past, but have largely been replaced by ‘vibroseis’ trucks, which has a hammer-like thing on it that knocks on the ground to generate the acoustic wave. - However, some surveys still uses dynamite! I remember a survey done in the foothills of Hindu Kush mountain range in Pakistan that cannot be reached by vibroseis trucks, so dynamites were used instead. - 1950s/1960s are definitely early days for geophysical surveys, but larger surveys had certainly been done by then! The fact that the survey in the video is very far apart, I think is because it is a very early stage exploration, done just to see the rough geological structure underneath. If it had been promising they oil companies would have revisited the place and redo a denser survey. - The dynamites are usually buried deep, around 5 to 8 m underground, so yeah, it was a good thing that they stopped digging!

@justinhenryhaynes Год назад

But where were the dynamite sticks placed and where did the microphones go? Microphones at the center and dynamite on the outside?

@Skinflaps_Meatslapper Год назад

@@justinhenryhaynes The sensors would be a good distance away, as the graphics show in the video. Straight down and then straight back up doesn't give you much discrimination, but measuring multiple waves that propagate down and sideways will give you the ability to triangulate and map the subsurface deposits. The center blast was probably a baseline acoustic wave to compare with the outer ring blasts. If you drew a straight line from the center and intersected one of the holes in the ring, then followed that line, you'd likely find a spot where they put sensors somewhere along the way.

@haithemsoualmi Год назад

First off, I want to say thank you to Christophe for the dedicated work on this topic. As an Algerian myself, this video/documentary really left me thinking about 2 things: 1. Algeria is full of mysteries. Not only is this probably 1 of the 1000s of other inexplicable things that can be found in the desert, it is one of the few that can still be investigated thanks to its recency (which has been done tremendously - hats off to the team). Which brings me to my second point. 2. Whilst many hypotheses in the beginning made sense, I, myself, knew that they could be detonators. It is well known amongst Algerians, that after the 1st World War, France used the Sahara desert as a testing ground for their weaponries. In this case, it has turned out to be a petroleum research site, but it could have been much worse. To finish this already pretty long comment, I wanted to say, had you posted this video 2 days earlier, it would've coincided with the 8th May, which is a special date in Algeria's history, the day the massacres began in cities like Setif, Guelma and Kherrata in which 45,000 civilians were killed for celebrating the end of WW2 with Algerian flags (obviously the number of death is still subject to debate to this date : France says the number is no more than 1,100, whilst Algerian Authorities have estimated the number to be no less than 45,000 - bear in mind this massacre took place for a month and a half). Once again, thank you to the whole team for your work. And for everyone who enjoyed the beauty of Algeria, you should come visit : I guarantee you that the beauty of the nature, the history of the country and the hospitality of the people is something to be seen.
