Why did the “Green Acres” theme just pop up in my head ?
To: SunkenCiv
I'm speechless. I doubt it was all done for the growing of potatoes for local consumption...

Which means this system was in fact providing food for an average of about 5 Billion people.Then remains of processing plants, animal lots, cities, roads and other transportation system will be found.

Where did the fresh water come from to fill up this system?

Battlestar Galactica did it when they arrived.

They would have needed one HELL of a water source to fill that thing up.

Because speculation is all that is possible. We relate what we see to agriculture because that’s familiar territory. There are similar ‘canals’ all over Peru and Bolivia.

Food for 5 billion when transportation and food storage would barely be able to get food to the nearest 5 million people alive at the time. Yeah, sure, every enterprise creates 1000 times more production than it can actually use or consume or sell. Mm hmm.

I would say this was obviously a Chinese off shored operation exploiting cheap African labor.

Maybe not as much as one thinks. If they had the capacity to build this, they probably also had the capacity to build a reservoir and collect from rainstorms and such.

So is this a big giant fail? I see no lush vegetation or produce fields.
Did they shoot it flat with some alien prehistoric laser and then terre firma tilt and make the water run backwards?

Despite the claim that nature doesn’t make straight lines, there are naturally occurring straight lines all over Africa and many other areas of the planet.

This system is in one of the driest places on earth. It needs a large river to feed it.
