Any geological oddity?
A newly discovered alien city?
A crop circle in the sand?
These strange cones and holes look with a picture as if it were a spiral.
What are these mysterious cones in an area of 100,000 m2 in the eastern Sahara desert bordering the Red Sea El Gouna Egypt?
Who is behind this strange formation of cones?
When was it built?
And what was or is, the purpose of these mysterious 89 cones in this arid desert?
The central circle 30 meters in diameter, was filled with water.
"Desert Breath" So this is called geometrical figure shows on earth, created by Greek artist Danae Stratou and DAST art team in the mid-1990s, which took several years to create.
The construction of this spiral cones in the sand in March 1997 was concluded.
"Desert Breath" still exists, becoming through its slow disintegration, an instrument to measure time.
The construction of "Desert Breath", required the displacement of 8,000 m3 of sand to create positive and negative precise conical volumes.
The conical volume intertwined spirals form two moving outward from a common center, with a phase difference of 180 degrees in the same direction of rotation.
For artists, the desert is a place where one experiences the infinite.
They chose as a starting point taper, as the natural formation of sand and work functions at two different levels: from above, as a visual image, and the earth walking along the trail of the snail.
This is a photo from 2 years ago. As you can see, the figure is fading slowly.
A Video .... Full Screen.
