Regular readers of this blog may have noticed that I have a major obsession with circles, wheels and other round objects. Much of my experimental music and art is circular or spiral in form. I collect kaleidoscopes, pictures of crop circles. The list goes on.

If I had to spend the rest of my life only with objects which are round, square or triangular, I would pick round in a heartbeat. I understand that square is convenient, but squares and boxes are boring. It goes without saying that anyone who would choose triangles and pyramids has gotta be a psychopath. Seriously… Circles, cylinders and spheres are the way to go.

Anyway, here are some mysterious ancient circles to obsess over. These appear to be related to crop circles in that they are large circular forms created by humans, but they are much, much older than crop circles, dating back at least 2,000 years. Scientists are now using the satellite images on Google Maps to study them.

Pretty cool, huh?
