The satellite view shows this off much better than Wikipedia's ground-level picture. It Really is just a long band of holes dug into the side of a mountain.

There's also some better pictures in one of the article's sources: https://web.archive.org/web/20160205050218/http://strzyzewsk...


That’s a lot of holes.

It seems obvious to me they were made by the landing pylons of heavy-lift alien spacecraft.


Even more holes than Blackburn, Lancashire.

At 1m diameter and 75cm deep, so ~0.59m^3, I calculate that to fill the Albert Hall, which a search suggests "has been estimated at" ~100,000m^3 (feels low to me, but it's quoted in many places), it takes around 170,000 of these Peruvian holes.


There’s an Albert Hall where I live, it’s probably much smaller than its name sake.

I think we can fill it.
