Shum-Gora
Shum-Gora submitted by AlexAssa : Site in Russia (Vote or comment on this photo)
This is one of the biggest medieval burial mounds in Europe. The height of the Hill is 14 meters, base diameter 70 meters. Shum-Gora has a two-tier structure.

The surface of the hills laid out pieces of lime stone, which is in the ground slopes terraces, i.e. parallel to the horizon.

Perhaps in ancient Hill seemed perfectly white two-storied building. Now it is covered with a layer of turf thick 10-20 cm., which smooth the surface.

According to the results of georadar researches Noise-mountains, it was found that Hill is inside the camera, located below the horizon, leading to her wide pass, starting from the heel stone.
