NOVA 52x17 - Ancient Desert Death Trap

    

Event details

Across the Middle East lie thousands of enigmatic stonemegastructures whose shape, when seen from the air, lookslike giant kites. The oldest were built around 7,000 B.C.,predating the earliest Egyptian pyramids and Stonehenge byseveral thousand years. Since their discovery in the 1920s,these "desert kites" have posed a stubborn mystery: Whodesigned them, and why were they built? How did prehistoricpeople, before the invention of writing, draw detailed scalemodels without compasses, hot air balloons, or drones? Usingcutting-edge technologies, an international team ofarchaeologists is determined to find answers and shed new lighton the poorly understood Stone Age period of human history.
