Looks like one giant sinkhole to me. Has anyone conducted subterranian studies at this site?

Sink Hole
If they ruled out a meteor, then my best guess would be a sink hole. Perhaps it collapsed into a deep volcanic channel millions of years ago....

sinkhole.
It's in a depression, with cliffs and drainage evidence on the north and west sides.

Then again, maybe it's like that wormhole that John Carter used to get to Mars.

wormholes
So are you saying that somehow you can activate it and it'll turn into an animated vortex that cuts through space-time? Sounds like a good escape route in case of an alien invasion, but why Mars? There's nothing there!

Geo site
It's probably the remains of an open pit mine. Those old timers were very industrious. The hard part was moving all those rocks to Egypt to build the pyramids. 8-)

Earth's puzzle
although it is mysterious but seems to be very adventurous spot. it may be form as a result of any geological activity like volcanic eruption, seismic activity or earth crust displacement.

Sink Hole
It is so perfectly round. I wonder if there is any significance to that?

Towball
It's the push-point from when the star gods pushed this mudball into orbit and seeded the planet, billions of years ago.

Richat Structure [see Wikipedia] not that old.........
Sorry, ZYSIS, ....geologically speaking, it's not that old...it's more likely the extinct remains of one of those "Super Volcanoes" [ala: Yellowstone] that PBS did a 'special' about...................However, you're on the right track...sort of...only, "this
mudball" was a molten sphere when it arrived in what is now termed: 'Earth Orbit', ca. 3 1/2 billion years ago; the remains of a planetary collision which occurred because our Sun's [star god?] gravitational field drew a planetary object, and its moons, into the main part of the Solar System that resulted in a close enough approach to the planet that once existed between Mars and Jupiter for the moons of this planetary interloper to crash into said planet which exploded....The crustal debris plus other rocky debris forming the Asteroid Belt which follows the general orbit of the erstwhile planet; however, its molten interior and core, coalescing into a sphere [as does all liquid in spatial vacuum] is knocked by the force and direction of the impact out of its original orbit toward the Sun; and, due to its large mass, gravitationally takes one of its former moons with it . ...Ergo, as its speed/momentum decays, the paIr settle into a closer Solar orbit, and become what we now know as the Earth and its Moon.......This is related in the 6500 year old, SUMERIAN 'Tablets of Creation' which were discovered, along with many other Sumerian baked clay tablets, in the ruins of the Assyrian [todays Kurds] capital: Ninevah; and, within the ruins of the palace of the Assyrian king: Ashurbanipal, who avidly collected as many Sumerian 'books' as he could...The Sumerian writings, at that time, were around 2000 years old; and which the Babylonians studied the same way we study the writings of the ancient Romans and Greeks......Modern civilization knew nothing of the Sumerian civilization until
this momentus discovery was made in the year 1870!!!......Futhermore, our long-range Space Probes have verified the Sumerian description of the outer planets!

Richat Structure
Fascinating KHM96841 We now know where Atlantis was also, it was a giant 3 ringed Caldera off of the coast of Spain, now under 12000 ft of Atlantic waters. just about where Plato etc., placed it. At the junction of three Tectonic plates.

I think
After reading three or four of your "articles" you need a native English speaking editor.
They aren't terrible, but there are enough idiom challenges to be distracting from your point.

Really, now?
Bookmanpc:

I hope you don't live in a glass house, because you appear to be throwing stones--and you may imagine the outcome.

The subject of your first sentence is unclear. Who is "you?" Does "you" only need a native English-speaking (notice the hyphen) editor after reading three or four of the articles? Why not before he reads them?

In the second sentence, the subject (again) is not clear. I assume that "they" refers to the articles, but the sentence structure makes that somewhat indefinite. Who/what is distracting? Do you mean that the reader is distracted? Why not say so?

I suggest that we all try to be more forgiving. Not everyone has a perfect grasp of every nuance of the English language--not even "native English speaking editor(s)."
