I believe that I found these in Egypt, but I am not 100% sure. Some times I get lost looking for cool places and end up in random places!

      in the middle of an empty […] desert.

      But there’s the thing: It’s all desert. And people still need to eat. They’re using groundwater, here, and it was adequate. Decisions taken in that time period were good decisions.
