I started this thread for everyone to post strange and unusual things found using google earth.

These first pics are in a place in egypt. In the center of this facility is a huge ancient stone face. Unfortunately they built something on the face , but you can still see his 2 eyes and head, chin.
The last four pics are circles on the gulf coast in mexico. My guess is they are cisterns to collect rainwater. There are maybe 100 of these circles up and down the coast, some are inland. Some can be seen at over 20,000 feet. They are huge.

Being from the Gulf coast, the circles looks like an old fuel tank farm that has had the tanks removed....

many of them have no roads going near them. I counted almost 100 circles in an area over hundreds of miles. all right near the coast. I thought they might have been cisterns for collecting rainwater.

thanks for looking

They look like irrigation circles to me. Could be some crops were
grown there in the past.
