The satellite view shows this off much better than Wikipedia's ground-level picture. It Really is just a long band of holes dug into the side of a mountain.

Reminds me of one of my favorite horror stories (NSFW):

    Obviously the rescuers should have just used a stick and push them back until they are de-deformed by undergoing the reverse process, on a serious note I think the author should have gone further, one is that it should show a pregnant lady going into one of the holes, just to put that mental image in the readers, and second, it should have a bonus page where we are shown that the bodies melt into the ground once they make it out, and then when they seem like they are dead they make a strange sound until the rescuers conclude that are trying to say "kill me"

I think it's either some animal trap (birds nest, small mammal, insect) or some plant growing area or maybe moisture harvesting.
