Remote sensing and AI help identify 28 sites similar to Rujm el-Hiri, challenging theories about the ancient stone circle's purpose and pointing to a wider regional phenomenon

A mysterious, ancient man-made stone structure in the Golan Heights that has intrigued researchers for decades is not at all unique in the region, a new study published in the prestigious journal PLOS ONE found.

Consisting of a central mound surrounded by multiple concentric rings of basalt stones, the enigmatic site is sometimes referred to as the 'Stonehenge of the East' or the 'Wheel of Ghosts.' The Rujm el-Hiri (Rogem) stone circle was first discovered in 1968 through military aerial photography.

... The site is composed of some 40,000 tons of rocks. It has been variously interpreted as a burial monument, an astronomical observatory, a place for ceremonial gatherings, and more, largely based on what archaeologists believed was its singularity.

Recently, a multi-disciplinary team of Israeli and international archaeologists and physicists was working on developing methods to use remote sensing, an umbrella of technologies that allows researchers to obtain information about objects or areas from afar ,  as a tool for archaeological survey.

As they examined the results documented in the Golan area, they were surprised to identify several sites that looked remarkably similar to Rujm el-Hiri, as Michal Birkenfeld from the Department of Archaeology at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev told The Times of Israel over the telephone.

Rujm el-Hiri's dating has been problematic, with scholars suggesting the Chalcolithic period (45003 - 800 BCE), Early Bronze Age (3700 - 2500 BCE), or even Late Bronze Age (1500 - 1200 BCE).

The previous study used remote sensing to show that Rujm el-Hiri's location had shifted and rotated at an average rate of 8-15 mm per year, meaning it had moved tens of meters since its construction - and therefore the original alignment of the walls and entrances did not correspond to celestial observations, as previously thought.

Overall, 28 large circular structures were identified and presented in the PLOS ONE study, all within a 25-kilometer (16-mile) radius from Rujm el-Hiri.

It was Prophesied!

Jeremiah (NASB) 31:
20  "IS EPHRAIM MY DEAR SON?
IS HE A DELIGHTFUL CHILD?
INDEED, AS OFTEN AS I HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST HIM,
I CERTAINLY STILL REMEMBER HIM;
THEREFORE, MY HEART YEARNS FOR HIM;
I WILL CERTAINLY HAVE MERCY ON HIM," DECLARES THE LORD.

21 "SET UP ROADMARKS FOR YOURSELF,
PLACE GUIDEPOSTS FOR YOURSELF;
DIRECT YOUR MIND TO THE HIGHWAY,
THE WAY BY WHICH YOU WENT.
RETURN, O VIRGIN OF ISRAEL,
RETURN TO THESE YOUR CITIES.
"Radak" (Rabbi David Kimchi, 1157-1236) of Narbonne, France) says:

"SET UP ROADMARKS FOR YOURSELF" (Jeremiah 31): This was directed to the Community of Israel, that in the generation when they would be exiled they should set up roadmarks [i.e. "tsionim"] such as PILED-UP STONES OR STONE MONUMENTS. The purpose of these monuments was to mark the paths [of migration for the sake of future recognition]. The meaning was to say that even though you will be exiled, hope is not lost and you are still destined to return to these your cities. "MAKE YOURSELF HIGH HEAPS" [Hebrew: "tamrurim"]. The same message is repeated though the wording is changed since both "tamrurim" [i.e. "high heaps"] and "tsionim" (i.e. "waymarks") connote elevated-height [from the root "tamar"].
