Sometimes such acts are revealed in front of the eyes which left us shocked. Yes, we are talking about 50 million years old Namib Desert, which is considered to be the oldest desert in the world. Yes, actually the Sahara Desert is only 20 to 7 million years ago and in summer the temperature here often reaches 45 degree Celsius and the nights are so cold that the snow freezes.

Talking about the Namib Desert, it extends from southern Angola through Namibia to the northern part of South Africa 2,000 kilometers. Let us tell you that in the driest parts of the Namib Desert, there is only two millimeters of rainfall a year and many years there is no rain at all, but still the oryx, springbok (both deer species), cheetah, hyena, ostrich and zebra It has adapted itself to the harsh conditions here. At the same time, local people say that God has made this area in anger. According to him there are fairy rings.

In fact, in 2014, environmental scientist Bronwyn Bell found similar circles in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and, surprised by these magnificent shapes, Bell contacted the ecological expert of Germany, Stefan Getzin, and shared his discovery. After that, he spoke to the local people, he said that he knew about these shapes long back and the local Himba people believe that these are made by the souls and they are the footprints of their deity Mukuru. Some research suggests that these enclosures are caused by termites, which continue to seek water and nutrients from the ground. At the same time, by eating the roots of the plant, they create empty space under the ground, which makes it easy for the rainwater to reach inside the earth. Many people are unaware of its secret and consider it to be a mystery.
