Stone Circles were a series of rock formations scattered throughout Egypt during the 1st century BCE. In 48 BCE, the Medjay Bayek of Siwa visited a number of stone circles in order to keep a promise made to his deceased son Khemu, who had wanted to explore all of the stone circles and the Great Sphinx.[1]
Years later in 38 BCE, Bayek discovered additional stone circles in the Sinai.[2]

In the caves beneath your stars." However, the cave near the House of Serqet is actually under the Hathor Stone Circle.
- The Stone Circles seem to be based on archaeoastronomical structures found at Nabta Playa in the Nubian Desert.
