Excellent example. I agree, never say never until proven otherwise. I think there is a chance at least two trenches, each over a mile in length, are beneath the crops at Walnut Ridge. Not only from all the stories about them, but also from some things I was told by workers there.
..and that is a"checkable" rumour if one is adept with the technology we
have at our fingertips. A satellite thermal image of that area of Walnut Ridge
should help in a confirmation of those trenches. I forget where in the Middle East
where such technology relocated the old Spice Road..I think it was Saudi
Arabia...there are other instances in archeology where such techniques
were handy. I wish I knew a 12yr old Nerd with the interest to persue it...
Or Andy, as I mentioned previously, thermal imaging or other technologies
that may have already been applied to the area by the USGS or some similar
entity.
The city I couldn't remember last night was Ubar in Saudi Arabi, rediscovered
with radar imaging. The key would be to see if USGS or JPL or?, ever mapped
Walnut Ridge from space or high altitude mapping platforms.
