That, again is the result of wind action on sand.
Whoa. You can feed five billion people n an irrigated/aquacul;ture area the size f the state of Arizona?
Wha..?
SWhere was their water source?
When?
WHO?
And what happened to them?
And where are their descendants now?
So many questions.
...something stinks about the whole thing...photo was taken from satellite..?
It didn’t work out due to climate change which drove the surface water deep underground. There is an underground ocean of freshwater beneath Africa that was found recently.
Having said that, I’m thinking this a naturally occurring phenomenon, not a mandmade one.
Quite simply the writer is a typical charlatan. He makes declarations of facts that just aren’t true like claiming nature doesn’t make straight lines.
Personally I suspect that they are prehistoric Dunes from an arid period in Africa’s distant past. For instance, during the last ice age the Sahara was much greener and the deserts of Africa were further south.
Too many major problems like where did these billions of people go without leaving any trace by their “canals”.
BS meter is pinging.
10,000 years old+, feeding 5 billion people?
i think not.
Ancient aliens race cultivated the earth millions of years ago and used dinosaurs to pull huge titanium plows. Man I thought everyone knew this...

The region is right on the edge of the Okavango Delta. Why don't you download Google Earth, it's free, and have a look for yourself? You might even enjoy a trip through the Vernuekpan Basin. It's not far away.
I’ve got google earth and the guy is still a charlatan.
He must be the same charlatan who created the endless number of canal images throughout South America and for good measure, doodled all over the dried lakebed named Vernuekpan. He’s been awfully busy.
Look at Google Earth 18 degrees 10’ south and 18 degrees 30’ east, from an elevation of 45 miles, and you will see these canals.
Seriously, this is very cool.
any hint of when they think the system was either created or last in use???
A most interesting web site,must investigate further
There are terraces all over the Andes. It seems like there must have been a much larger population to require all those terraces, or people have lived there for a very, very long time. Do you happen to know if salts build up in terraces over time, making them eventually unviable?
Let me say...I have no idea who or what created this phenomenon, but not knowing doesn't mean it's not there.
The Okavango Delta is seasonal. These so called canals look like rock straitions from a receding glaciar, on a particularly grand scale.
Maras Salt Terrace, Peru
Salt would hardly have been an issue in the Okavango Delta, it's still flowing with bounteous fresh water today.
