The Mark Earrings
A part of the Inheritance collection inspired by structures found in the desert.
In the 1920s, Royal Air Force pilots crossing the Middle East noticed something bizarre across the barren landscape of Syria, eastern Jordan, and Saudi Arabia’s desert. The giant structures, which covered the land beneath, looked like intricately carved stone wheels, only visible from the sky. More than 400 previously undocumented structures - or "gates" as they are called - have been uncovered using new technologies. We tend to think of extensive parts of Saudi Arabia as a desert, but in reality, there's a huge archaeological treasure trove out there and it needs to be identified and mapped. You can't see them very well from the ground level, but once you get up a few hundred feet, or through satellite imagery, they stand out beautifully. These structures were probably used by nomadic tribes as trapping devices for hunting or could have been used as tombs.
These structures are found in the Black Desert in Syria, Eastern Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, and they are believed to have existed up to 9,000 years ago.
