Ancient Palace in Russia
Mostischensky stone labyrinth - a monumental structure of the ring of standing stones and masonry, in the form of a large maze.
The stone monument is located on the territory of the ancient city, dating to the era of the Great Scythia, about 1 millennium BC
The diameter of the outer circle is 40 meters.
The monument could serve as a calendar or astronomical unit, and can be used for ceremonies and rituals.
As a result of looting, archaeologists have decided to freeze the maze and cover it with soil, was razed to the ground, so now the object is a pitiful sight: only in some places, among the thickets of grass, occasionally one can see the top of the stones.
Perhaps the time will come and Mostischensky maze more open to researchers all his secrets.
