Decode the mysterious symbol in the Gobi desert, China

The mysterious work in the Gobi desert, discovered by GoogleMap last year may be the result of geological surveys of nickel mines - the Daily Mail quoted the researchers as saying.

Amelia Carolina Sparavigna, a professor of physics at Politecnico di Torino in Italy, argues that the mysterious map in the Taklamakan desert in western China "is clearly made by humans".

The amateur archaeologist made the conjecture after studying an 8km section of a desert square project located near Nhược Khuong district town using the Google Earth satellite.

Enlarge the image, Mrs. Sparavigna noticed that this square consists of squares with an area of ​​about 40m 2 . They look like similar mounds or rough structures and are arranged like the outside of a giant bicycle tire.

The satellite map also shows a circular artificial texture on the desert that appears to be created by relatively small holes or mounds.

According to Professor Sparavigna, they can be the result of geographic research activities. In addition, the basis for her to believe that it was the result of a survey of nickel mines is China's recently released statement about the country's discovery of a huge nickel ore reserve of up to 1 , 28 million there.

Sparavigna believes that the mysterious maps in the Gobi desert are evidence of a comprehensive geological survey, including excavation and drilling of ore potential mapping.

It is known that Professor Sparavigna is a pioneer in the activity of conducting satellite archeology of Google Earth. By this method, she found the ruins of Loulan - an ancient kingdom located on the Silk Road.
