El misterio de las cometas del desierto

On the venue's site

In the deserts of Saudi Arabia and Jordan there are thousands of fascinating stone constructions whose shape, seen from the sky, evokes that of enormous kites. Some of them, built around 7000 BC, are the oldest known megastructures in the history of humanity to date. Who designed these structures, and why? With the help of the most advanced technologies, an international team of archaeologists, led by the Frenchman Rémy Crassard and the Franco-Jordanian Wael Abu-Azizeh, is trying to solve this mystery. In doing so, they reveal the existence of a previously unknown people, whose range of knowledge revolutionises the history of the Neolithic.
