Why Are There 6,500-Year-Old Stone Monuments in the Sahara?
Deep in the Sahara desert lie hundreds of phenomenal stone circles known as corbeilles. Dating back over 6,500 years, these monuments hold clues to prehistoric rituals, ancient cattle sacrifices, and the communities that once thrived in what is now barren desert. In this video, I dig deeper into the Messak Plateau, investigate what archaeologists found inside these stone structures, and uncover why they were potentially built.
