Unsung Crossroads
by David W. Tschanz

During the Chalcolithic, or Copper, Age, approximately 6000 years ago, the population of al-Jawf laboriously erected 54 groups of squared-off stone pillars, some of which measured up to three meters (9'6") in height. Called al-rajajil ("the men") today, the pillars appear to the casual observer to be randomly placed, although a bird's-eye view shows that they are placed in roughly parallel east-west lines.

Gen 10:25

And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one [was] Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided

"for in his days was the earth divided" -- a reference to the rising of the seas.
