Located in the Gobi Desert, which is found in the north and northwestern portions of China as well as a portion of Mongolia, are strange structures that were found by find a satellite used by Google Maps in about 2011 or so. Let’s start with one satellite image that has more-or-less been explained, although maybe not fully.
