The Mysterious K Line from Mount Ramon. Its actually a wall from Early Bronze Age (more than 4000 years old), 4.6 km long and connects the two tallest mountains in Negev, viz. Mount Ramon (1037 M) and Mount Romem (1022 M).

Where is this mysterious line in the following snap? Its a bit tricky to explain...let me try my level best. Look at the edges of the mountain. We are actually looking towards Mount Romem from Mount Ramon. Almost at the center of Mount Romem, a bit towards the right you can see a building connected by a road from down. Immediately left to this structure there is a small protrusion on the mount. From this projection, look down and you can see a faint black straight line running towards you. 

Why K-line is so special? Its actually an ancient wall constructed by an unknown people and till date no one has a clear cut answer for why it was made. Archaeologists have uncovered many standing stones along the wall, said to have deep religious significances. Another interesting observation shows that the direction of this wall is directed to the exact spot where the sun goes down in the longest day of a year i.e. 21 st June. Moreover, at June 21, shadow of the sun directly falls on the wall.
