Motif is a huge stone stretching over 275 meters. Starting from the furthest point in the northwest to the southeast.
A man named Alexander Shestakov accidentally found a giant motifs made of stone (geoglyph) form of deer on the Russian soil. The findings are then forwarded to the scientists that eventually led to the excavation led by Stanislav Grigoriev of the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of History & Archaeology.
This giant motif located near Lake Zjuratkul, in the Ural Mountains, northern Kazakhstan. It looked like a deer with a muzzle, four legs and two horns. Even the satellite images of Google Earth in the year 2007 shows a tail. However, this form is more unclear in recent photographs.
Without counting the tail, a huge stone motif stretches along 275 meters. Starting from the furthest point in the northwest to the southeast. This is the same stretch of double-wide American football field. This motif is facing north and can be seen from the ridge of the hills nearby.
"This motif looks white and a little shine when compared to a background of green grass," wrote Nikolai Grigoriev and Menshenin, of the State Centre for Monument Protection, as reported in the journal Antiquity Thursday (11/10).
Research indicates if geoglyph is the product of the megalithic culture. In addition, the team led by Grigoriev discovered that the motive is very complicated.
However, there is more to the excavations carried out in this geoglyph because it feared it would ruin motif. Added to this is if geoglyph this is not the first in the Ural region, as also found hundreds of other megalithic sites in adjacent locations.
