What hides the giant stone circles of Jordan?
Twelve great stone circles were discovered in recent years in Jordan: eight between Wadi el-Hasa and Shara, West of the country, and four North of the oasis of Azraq. Even if they appear to be highly accurate, researchers and archaeologists have not yet realized Wed its purpose.Although the first circles were discovered in 20 years, the truth is that the use of satellite imagery has come to discover several others â€" the last in 2002 â€" and scientists believe that more will be discovered in the near future.The technology just triggered the curiosity of archaeologists, which still failed to detail what the purpose of these monstrous constructions made of stones and boulders â€" the diameters vary between 220 meters and 455 yards."The landscape of the Middle East have circular structures or dense scattered sub-circulares. Most are circles, but there are many that are geometrically precise, though sometimes distorted, "explained David Kennedy, of the University of Western Australia.Thus, they would have to have been built by 12 or more workers and designed by an "architect". Quotation marks, of course, because these buildings are said to have been made in a period between 2,000 and 4,500 BC.According to investigators, some answers will be given in the coming years, as they explore the satellite images and made excavations in the terrain. Until then, it is expected that the circles are not destroyed by the expansion of the neighbouring cities â€" in fact, two of them were destroyed, in recent years, due to this fact. . fancybox-wrap {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 8020; }. fancybox-skin {position: relative; /* margin-top: 20px! important; */backgroun d: #222222; color: #74b32e; text-shadow: none; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; }. fancybox-opened {z-index: 8030;} . fancybox-opened. fancybox-skin {-webkit-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); -moz-box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); box-shadow: 0 10px 25px rgba (0, 0, 0, 0.5); }. fancybox-outer,. fancybox-inner {position: relative;} . fancybox-inner {overflow: hidden;} . fancybox-type-iframe. fancybox-inner {-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;} . fancybox-close {backgroun d: url('wp-content/themes/codistage/styles/fancybox/exit.png') no-repeat; width: 25px; height: 25px; float: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 5px; }/*. ng-gallery-image img {width: 565px; height: 393px;}*/ Os mistérios da Jordânia 1 of 9 jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var thumbContainerWidth = 0, thumbs = Array(), selectedIndex = 1, thumbIndex = 1, imageOffset = 7; $ ('. ng-gallery-thumbnail-box '). each (function () {thumbs.push($(this)); }); /* thumbnail navigation */$ ('. ng-greensavers-thumb-next '). unbind (). bind (' click ', function (e) {e.preventDefault(); if (thumbIndex < == (thumbs.length-imageOffset)) {$ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). stop (). animate ({left:-$ (thumbs [thumbIndex]). position (). left}); thumbIndex + +; } }); $ ('. ng-greensavers-thumb-prev '). unbind (). bind (' click ', function (e) {e.preventDefault(); if (thumbIndex > 1) {$ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). stop (). animate ({left: $ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). position (). left + ($ (thumbs [thumbIndex-1]). position (). left-$ (thumbs [thumbIndex-2]). position (). left)}); thumbIndex--; } }); $ (window). load (function () {/* set thumbnail container width */$ ('. ng-gallery-thumbnail '). each (function () {thumbContainerWidth = thumbContainerWidth + $ (this). width () + 10; }); $ ('. ng-thumbnails-container '). width (thumbContainerWidth); }); });
