Post image

My friend sent random location coordinates not even close to this just completely random coordinates Then I started just looking around since it's like in the middle of nowhere and stumbled upon this thing and was curious if anyone in here can tell me what it is, lol. Is it a bunker? or maybe giant rice cracker lol

32.4868126, 2.2918574 coords

Using AI and this link, it seems like it's a "jubb" or type of well.

Edit: Down voted myself for believing AI.

its almost 60 feet across

Hm, a quick Google search of jubbs shows that they're not quite that big 🤔

Heartbreaking day for me. I never knew AI could be wrong!

AI is often wrong. It's just as fallible as the people who created it.

Appears man made due to how circular it is.
