During a survey by means of Google Maps of the desert near the Nile, I have seen this structure, which seems an eye on the sand.

Snake
Image from Google Maps: a geoglyph near the Titicaca Lake, Peru.
This image shows a plain area covered by a network of waru-warus, that is, of the "raised fields" - earthworks separated by canals - near the Titicaca Lake. This is an ancient agricultural technique used by Andean people starting from the first millennium BC. Note that the structure of the network is created after a careful planning. Each raised field is approximately 10 meters large and more than one hundred long.

Spiral Jetty - Robert Smithson
"A jetty arm of fill dirt and rock extends into the Great Salt Lake where it curls into a tight circular spiral. Built when the lake was unusually low, it has only been above water level a few times since it was built."
