GATES TO HELL? 400 Mysterious Stone Gates Discovered in Saudi Arabia

Deep in the heart of Saudi Arabia, 400 mysterious stone structures have been discovered, dating back thousands of years ago. These stone features were found by archaeologists with the use of satellite imagery, identifying what they call stone "gates" in an inhospitable area.

On top of these fields are roughly built and low stone walls, suggesting they weren't used to retain cattle. In fact, some of the walls mimic an "I" shape while others are rectangular. The largest of the walls reach almost 1,700 feet long. It's unclear who built these gates but they are the oldest and one of the very few man-made structures in this remote part of Saudi Arabia. We also know that the stones were built during active volcanism and that some of the walls are covered in newer flows, meaning the wall predates some of the volcanic flows.
