You can see this huge symbol in the northern Kazakhstan desert thanks to Google Earth and its bird’s-eye view.

Many people compare it to a swastika symbol.

It’s one of the many geoglyphs that were spotted in the Turgai Trough area in 2007.

They’re thought to date back thousands of years.

Swastikas were pretty common symbols before they became affiliated with the Nazis.

Some people believe these Google Earth images are evidence of an unexcavated pyramid in Egypt.

A self-proclaimed “satellite archaeology researcher” spotted this potential pyramid complex on Google Earth.

However, experts claim the image just shows eroded hills.
