With some hours of browsing GE and ZE map engines I have mapped a bunch of fort (and ruins) sites with similar structural markers from around the suspected area. The one you are looking for is still missing* from the collection, but it is only a matter of time from now... (if it is in Libya at all...) * EDIT: Now included. (it was in Libya.) ...(: 58 placemarks by last update: Search for the Garamantes - Libya.kmz (6.04 KB) an example screenie: Cheers! G

Thank you for your response. Your mound cemetary pin reminds me of a patch of fairy rings? Unknown origin, speculated to be termite based but not proven. Lifespan of up to 60 years grows up to 12 meters... Found in the Nambia dessert and Australia see TomKjeldsen kmz below for fairy rings. These Libya forts are a great find, you have a keen eye. I didnt have any of these before. Dessert searches seem like a whole art in itself. There are many of this fort style in Iran. You can see both the ruins and the forts still intact. Here is a KMZ for you of the forts in Iran. Hope there are some new ones here for you. Attachments:Fairy Circles.kmz (1.22 KB)

Termites? Yeah! Fairy rings? - Yeah, I have both! A 'bluesky' has already liked my brazilian termites' thread, now is up to you! ... Again something, I would call a fateful coincidence, another 'syzygy' of digital projections of human beings within this virtual space and time. ...(: Also now obvious, my fairy rings are a different sort of things than Tom's. These are made up of Fungus mycelium and by proper circumstances, ring of mushrooms appearing. ... For a long time I have put aside my Saudi Archaeo collection also seldom I will keep my African Archaeo thread updated. Both subjects are chewed bones, still my kmz files are feasible to give foretaste of the breathtaking amount and diversity of these ancient, man-made structures. (More related links you find, following these above, but not this recent paper published on Academia.edu!) Thanks for sharing your collection of forts from Iran! ... ...Dessert searches seem like a whole art in itself.... No way I would call it art, rather obsession. 15+ years of browsing satellite/aerial imageries makes your retina hypersensible for such 'deviances', however proper eye-altitude settings are essential for good results.

gotcha! >> 25.881814, 14.180724<< (The only red, 1.0 size, square placemark with label in the placemark collection attached above.) It was the 58. fort find in this round of search. (easily it could have been in the first ten...) Thanks for raising attention to these! Sincerely, G
