Mysterious Giant Arrows Built by Ancient People – Warning Sign for the Future
You’re a gazelle who’s about to have a very bad day. That’s because as you and your herd are going along your business on the Ustyart Plateau of northern Uzbekistan, you come across a ridge in the ground. You keep running alongside it, then it disappears. So you think nothing of it.
Then you find another ridge in your path. You don’t like having things in your way, so you veer a little to follow it, figuring it will disappear soon too. Then you find yourself — and the rest of your herd — at the bottom of a ditch.
That’s how scientists think real structures called desert kites worked. They were built over a huge span of time, from 8,000 to 2,500 years ago across a swath of land from the Middle East to Central Asia.
They’re basically gigantic traps. We heard about them in a National Geographic story, but they were first noticed during World War I. Desert kites are hard to see from the ground — they just seem like random ditches and ridges.

Why don’t you wannabes write out your text and rehearse before presenting to the public? It makes you sound awkward and less than credible.
