Akhunovski menhirs
The Akhunovo Megalithic Complex, although older than its London counterpart for 3000 years, is still much more modest in size. Scientists discovered him on the tip of local residents in 1996, but the first excavations began only after 7 years. The ancient monument includes 10 granite stones of the right tetrahedral form - menhirs - with a height of 70 cm to 2 meters. Located along the circumference, on the main stone in the middle of the outline of the crescent.
By the structure, material and number of objects the complex is an analog of the structure in the famous Stonehenge . Local people say: before the stones were larger, but some of them they were dragged by tractors, because the inhabitants did not attach importance to the menhirs . Scientists also believe that this place is an astronomical observatory that our ancestors used as a calendar . Watching the shadow falling from the central menhir they determined the date and time We tracked the days of the summer and winter solstice . This discovery turned the notions of the ancient Ural people .
Archaeologists assume that a megalithic complex was built in 3 th millennium BC. Now the menhirs are fenced. In the summer, archaeologists work here, they discovered the remnants of a settlement of late Bronze Age, which they named Novo-Bayramgulovsky. About a dozen older products from the Upper Paleolithic Jasper were found here.
Now tourists are in Ahunovo, a tourist center is planned to be built, similar to the one on Arkaim. It is believed that the wishes expressed here come true, and stones treat women from infertility.
Get full information about menhirs on excursions, costs about 300 rubles per person. Also you will have to pay for the entrance to the complex itself.
Prices are indicated for April 2013.
