I agree the reason why they were created is more interesting then who at this point. it is easier to answer why sometimes then who.

I suggest the straight lines next to the road are the remains of WWII landing strips. There were hundreds of temporary landing strips along the roads all over northern Australia. In the desert they won't disappear. And of course there is lots of traffic of road construction equipment parking and testing, again the tracks will be there for hundreds of years.

I'm not sure about the spirals, but they do look like irrigation plots to me. Even though the overhead centre pivot irrigation heads would operate in a circle, the vegetation rows would be in a spiral to provide access to the inner rows right to the centre. [but the photo pointed to by griffo515 above doesn't bear me out - maybe there are two ways to organize it?]

The spiral is, of course, sacred to Abriginal Australians, just as it (or the labyrinth) is to most cultures around the world, and its meaning is identical too. But I can't find any evidence that they built huge spirals and I think that setting them up in clusters like this would be counter intuitive.

its probably the military...maybe an early version of this:
Number three on Time Magazine’s Top 10 Google Earth Finds, is a “UFO landing pad” at a US-Army base near Thetford Forest in the UK, which Time has titled UFO Landing Pads, Maybe? Here’s what Time has to say about it:


“Here’s a true Google Earth mystery. These odd formations can be found on air bases in the U.S. and Britain — this one comes from a base outside of Norwich, England. The U.K. Ministry of Defense called it a motorcycle range, but other speculate it may be some sort of calibration tool for satellites. No one really knows — and the military isn’t saying anything

Without double-checking the facts this sounds like the most likely conclusion. When I read your explanation about the spirals it twigged a memory in me of my grandfather having told me something similar when I was a kid.

Hey Ocker

Yes, the Nazca spaceman does share some similarities with the Aboriginal figures. I found it interesting that they both display boots! Strange, as the Aborigines wore little or no footwear whatsoever! Yet, they could conceptualise an item of clothing that they most likely had never seen before!

Very interesting.

Very interesting thread here.

Before coming up with all kind of theories, one should ask:


1) What does the Spiral symbol mean? Where does it stand for?

Spirals are ancient symbols of the goddess, of creation (the womb/ fertility / feminine / serpent force), continual changes of the Universe (astronomical).


2) How old are some of these Spiral symbols left in stone?

The oldest Spirals are (pre?) Stone Age. Mind you that the 'Stone Age' in Europe is way different compared to other regions / parts in the world.

The Paleolithic (Early Stone Age) started 2,6 Million years ago and ended approx. 8000 BC.


Hello??? Plus 2 million years ago?

Homo erectus: approx. 1,9 million till 500.000 years old
Homo habilis: lived approx. 2,2 million till 1,5 mill. years ago
Australopithecus (more 'ape-like' then human): lived approx. 4,3 en 2 mill. years ago

3) Next Q: who made them?

4) WHY?
