Aerial views reveal Hali's interlocking stone circles.

From the ground, it is hard to make out the circles’ full layout. Seen from above, the formations in Hali resolve into an interlocking pattern, and the geometry has drawn researchers’ attention. Historian and researcher Mohammed Kharis Al-Marhabi reads the arrangement as deliberate and says it may have served a calculating or geometric purpose. He has also proposed a possible connection to observing weather and climate, along with the movements of the sun, moon and planets. That’s an intriguing possibility, not an established explanation: Al-Marhabi says further study is needed to test or reject it. For now, the aerial view makes the pattern easier to see than its reason for being.
