FfFfFfFF 58,116 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Archaeologists from the Institute of History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IIMK RAS), and LLC Krasnoyarsk Geoarchaeology have discovered a geoglyph depicting a bull during excavations in Southern Siberia. The geoglyph was unearthed near the village of Khondergey in the south-west of the Republic of Tuva, close to Russia’s border with Mongolia, and represents the first such discovery in the region and Central Asia. Archaeologists stated that the discovery was found as part of a wider burial from the Early Bronze Age, dating from more than 4,000 years ago, evidenced by ceramics in situ from that period. Measuring 3 by 4 metres, the bull is depicted by carefully placed pebbles and stone made from locally sourced sandstone. Other exemples of geolyphs include the Cerne Abbas Giant in the UK and the Nazca lines of Latin America: Source - https://www.heritagedaily.com/2021/09/bull-geoglyph-discovered-in-southern-siberia/141527 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
