Maybe they are from a previous civilization, and were intended to be a safe haven from floods? Highest point on all 5 continents, with populations similar living on them. Sounds like a safe haven.
Built by who though? 50 Miles is a lot of Earth..
Don't know about the others,but Ayers rock (or Uluru in Aboriginal) used to be part of the sea bed that covered that part of Australia and is all that's left of the original mountain when the rest of it was eroded away by the wind.It's made of sandstone,so probably won't last forever.

This is very interesting. I hope somebody can verify it and give it a purpose. I suspect the Celts because they were crazy about mounds and they were frequently blonde.

How do you handle this website then with all the ads and pop ups and roll overs on it. Do you hate that too?

As for the bit about blonds, I think we all know that blond people are superior in pretty much every way to everybody else, except possibly in reproducing. And maybe getting sunburned. They are directly descended from blond aliens, and are super cool.

Here, in Florida, we have thousands of circular ponds and lakes. They are formed naturally, from sink holes. The limestone below ground weathers away, a cave forms. They are normally filled with water. Nowadays, they frequently form when growers pump too much water out of the ground, the top caves in, forming a sink hole that fills with water and becomes a pond or lake. These arcs remind me of great meteor strike areas. I can imagine a meteor blows out a 50 mile wide hole that over time rises above the general landmass. It would seem to be possible that sandstone could be part of the formation if the crater filled with sand to a great depth, and then over a great period of time rose. I think the answer would like in looking for shocked quartz and glass spherules on the other side of the arc (not within the radius). Even the state of Michigan looks somewhat like it could have been the center of a meteorite impact. Look at the lakes surrounding it and you can see what looks like an angular meteor strike where the lakes carve out an arc around Michigan.
