TERRESTRIAL TOWERS OR EXTRATERRESTRIAL IMPLANTS

Friable terrain in some parts of the Earth where climate is marked by alternating periods of torrential rain and drought gets increasingly eroded which gives rise to wonderful earth pyramids.    ©Paula Borkovic   I remember showing a photo of this site to someone from work (we usually employ smart people there) and she said that these structures must have been put there by…
