Just realized mapping stone walls can reveal ancient paths

I always thought those crumbling stone walls were just leftover from old farms. After diving into some archaeology blogs, I began recording their locations on my phone. To my shock, they formed a straight path that matched a known Bronze Age trade route. I emailed a professor who studies regional history, and she confirmed the connection. Now we're planning a field walk to look for artifacts. This little project has totally changed how I see the landscape around me.

Yeah but in my experience those old patterns don't usually happen by accident. Once you see how they line up with the known routes, it feels way too planned to be random.

How do we know it's not just a coincidence?
