LONDON: Three 2,000-year-old Roman military camps have been discovered through Google Earth buried in the Arabian desert.

The camps, found by researchers at Oxford University, may have been constructed as part of the Roman Empire’s takeover of the ancient Nabataean Kingdom, the territory of which stretched between the modern kingdoms of Jordan and Saudi Arabia, in A.D. 106 following the death of its last king, Rabbel II Soter.
