Can you help us identify this city in Iraq from an oblique aerial photograph taken by 55 Squadron @RoyalAirForce c.1930? Probably in the north of the country.

One of tonight's @Art_Jameel panel photographers, @MoathAlofi, has just exhibited amazing photos at @AthrArt of the "gates", lava-stone structures in the #Saudi desert, possibly neolithic herding enclosures. Part of @SaudiArtCouncil's #2139JeddahArts. These images do no justice.

The @UniOfOxford's David Kennedy has discovered hundreds of mysterious structures on ancient lava domes in #SaudiArabia. These so-called Gates may be up to or more than 9,000 years old. Check out the very first photos! #Archaeology @SctaSa @LiveScience livescience.com/60918-aerial…

“Almost 400 Gates have now been recorded, all in #SaudiArabia and almost all in the Harret Khaybar or just to its north. They range in size from a few meters to just over 500m,” notes Prof. David Kennedy. Their purpose remains unknown. #Archaeology @SctaSa livescience.com/60918-aerial…
