This wall is usually referred to as Wall of Chinggis, although it has nothing to do with Genghis Khan. Here’s another paper from Nature about it: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41599-020-0524-2.

Here’s an interesting link that gives place names so you can look up the wall on Google maps (not much to see): https://www.escapetomongolia.com/blog/wall-of-chinggis-in-do.... According to it the wall starts at Bayan-Adarga (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayan-Adarga,_Khentii) and continues to Gurvanzagal (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurvanzagal).

I wish people would stop linking to phys.org. It's primarily a spam ad promoting agregation site...

What aggregators do you prefer that surface papers similar to this one?

Or, just link directly to the paper which isn't paywalled:

In the phys.org article:

> The paper is published in the journal Land.

the word 'published' links to the MDPI paper
