There are so many secrets in the different jungles around the world, we will more than likely never know the mysteries that surround them. Some things we are just not supposed to know, I reckon.
The Amazon Rings

A series of ring-shaped ditches can be found throughout the Brazilian Amazon, which predate the rain forest itself. These structures remain a complete mystery, and archaeologists are unsure what to make of them. It is suggested that they served as burial grounds or a form of defense, but no one knows for sure. A further-fetched theory is that they are marks left by UFOs that once landed there before the forest grew. These blemishes are similar to the Nazca lines in that there is no confirmed reason as to why they exist. It is assumed that these rings were constructed by the early people who inhabited the area.
A further question is, “How did the early men get the tools to create them?” This is also unanswerable, as there is no proof that any tools sophisticated enough to have created the rings even existed at the time they were constructed.
See what I mean? Secrets with-in mysteries...all unknown and apt to stay that way!
Coffee out on the patio one more time. Freshly baked Snicker-doodles are available.

That is weird. Gives credence to the Ancient Alien Theory. Since it is raining here, I am on my way to your patio. Save my spot on the swing and thanks for the cookies.
Early man created many things why not these circles. Their tools were made of wood and stone . Look what the Native Americans built with irrigation systems running many miles. Also the Aztec people with there pyramids. So many questions of these peoples.
Happy to sit on the patio and discuss many things while munching on your wonderful baked goodies and coffee
Hey Linda...
Those ditches got there somehow, so anyone's guess as to how.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hey Jo...
I think that we don't give early man enough credit sometimes. When it comes to being creative, the skys the limit!
Thanks, sweetie, for coming over this morning!
The circle ditches predate the rain forest? I wonder how they figured that out ... but it is odd.
Whats even odder is why anyone would ask "how" someone could dig in the dirt without tools. If you ask a two year old to go dig a hole they will usually manage to get it done...
Hey Rob...
Usually they will find a way to dig right where you DON'T want them to. Still, it is an interesting thing to ponder.
I appreciate the visit today!
They say some people run in circles, so maybe those marks were made by people running in circles (grin).
Hey Dizzy...
Ya know, I hadn't thought of that. Anything's possible, I reckon!
Thanks for coming by today!
