Vytegorsky Boulder
Vytegorsky Boulder submitted by AlexAssa : Site in Russia Megalithica.ru (Vote or comment on this photo)
Vytegorsky Boulder in Russia - natural monument of regional significance.

It is the largest known at this time (2016) Vologda boulders. Dimension stone, or rather fragments of rock, are:
length of 10.6 meters, width - more than 8 meters and visible height - about 5 meters. About 4 meters stone disappears into the ground.
 
Stone looks like a geometric shape - pyramid - the presence of the four visible faces, oriented to the cardinal.
 
It has long been used in ancient times for ritual purposes.
