The site of Rajajil (standing men) was first discovered south of Jowf, Saudi Arabia. Over thirty discrete groups of aligned pillars were recorded. Weighing over five tons each, the pillars were originally placed to observe celestial phenomena. Small-scale soundings suggested the complex dated to the early Bronze Age (third millennium B.C.)
