Carving in Russia
About the stone, we can say the following: it is a rectangular processed block of pure white stone - limestone, which served before, or someone's tombstone or some sacral object (part of Altar). Moreover, he lies in the cemetery of the Egoryevskaya church, Nizhny Novgorod region.
Despite this, the White stone in Sukharenka is fraught with many mysteries: it is not only a skillful carving, but also incomprehensible words and signs. No one has yet been able to translate them, there is only a mention that it can be runic inscriptions or other pre-Christian.
