🛰️ While scanning the desert on Google Earth, I noticed something strange—
🏜️ A lone butte with perfectly lined-up holes along its top. I had to find out what it was...
--------------------------------------
Out in the vast desert, I came across a remote butte on Google Earth that instantly caught my eye. There were strange holes spaced evenly across the top—like something wasn’t quite natural about it. So I did what I do best… I packed my gear and went to investigate it in person.
What I found up there was incredible—a place that made me stop and wonder if the ancients considered this location sacred or special. At the summit of this weathered sandstone formation, I found what looked like drill holes or manmade impressions. But were they truly ancient? Or just a bizarre geological anomaly?
--------------------------------------
Let’s explore together and see what secrets this isolated butte may still be keeping.
