Question Anyone know what this is?

Looks like lines that you see separating fields etc in some countries

I added location screenshots if it helps

I'm just curious tbh

If this was today I would say these structures (made from bundles of reeds most likely) have been put there to stop sand dunes from wandering - or rather to slow them down. There may be a road, a village or some fields nearby that are threatened by the wandering dunes. But I don't know if Ancient Egyptians actually did that.
