One of the main attractions of the Urals is Arkaim, with its unique buildings. For its uniqueness, Arkaim is called the Russian Stonehenge, and also the “Grandfather of Troy”, because it is many hundreds of years older than the legendary city, found by the hard work of Heinrich Schliemann and sung by Homer.
According to scientists, Arkaim is not just an ancient settlement. This is a whole civilization, for unknown reasons, has not reached the level of development that, judging by the signs found, it could have.
But I would say that I liked the rest more. And its significance is comparable with the culture of ancient Crete and Mycenae. This is the greatest discovery of the last century located in the south of the Chelyabinsk region under the eastern slopes of the Urals. The Arkaim complex includes archaeological complexes of various periods: from the Stone Age to the 14th century AD.
One of the main attractions of Arkaim is a fortified settlement and a necropolis of the twentieth century BC. The solid buildings of the ancient city have a circular shape.
Four city gates are oriented strictly to the cardinal. Scientists have made accurate measurements of the proportions and axes of the settlement, which are highly accurately oriented in the azimuths of the main astronomical events and phenomena.
With a high degree of probability it can be argued that the level of development of ancient civilization allowed the use of the complex for astronomical research. In addition to Arkaim in the Urals, there are a great many other attractions, such as unique caves, picturesque lakes, gorges and rivers, including the main Ural river Chusovaya.
It is also worth mentioning the geological uniqueness. It was here that the first gold deposits were discovered in Russia, and platinum reserves were considered the largest in the world. A land with an extraordinarily beautiful nature and a rich historical past is undoubtedly worth an expedition to the Urals.
