DiscoveriesAn archeological team claimed that the megalithic archeological site of Tatikev Kamen in north Macedonia actually was a 4,000-years-old observatory, which indicated that there was a Stonehenge in Macedonia, MIA news agency reported recently.According to the team, the site discovered a year ago by archeologist Jovica Stankovski and had served both as a ceremonial place and as an observatory.
The research carried out this year showed that the observatory had a specific place for monitoring the stars and the sun, as well as specific holes through which the movement of the sun and the moon could be recorded.
Stankovski said that in the second millennium BC the location was set on fire, which corresponded with the period of the great migrations in this part of the Balkans.
The head of the Macedonian Planetarium Gjore Cenev pointed out that this discovery proved that there was a civilization on the Balkans unknown to today's science. He said, "This civilization had its own culture and religious ceremonies. We did not find any written documents, but if we do, that will be a true sensation."
