The author of the scientific research "The Phenomenon of Arkaim" and other books, Konstantin Konstantinovich Bystrushkin, talks about an ancient megalithic structure discovered near the Bashkir village of Akhunovo.
13 roughly hewn menhirs ("stone fingers") are installed in a special order. Two of them, as it seemed at first glance, are strictly oriented along the north-south line. Eight more are placed in a circle around the "northern" menhir. And the other three form a line directed towards sunrise at the time of the summer solstice.
The megalithic complex "Akhunovo" was excavated by archaeologists several years ago, and immediately it was dubbed the Ural "Stonehenge". Scientists believe that "Akhunovo" is a near-horizon observatory, that is, an object with the help of which the ancient stargazers observed the movement of the sun and moon thanks to natural landmarks - the tops of hills and mountains located in the area. Konstantin Konstantinovich, do you agree with the opinion of archaeologists?
- Not so simple. Near-horizon observatories were child's play for the ancient priests. Moreover, anyone who has visited the Ural "Stonehenge" will notice how inconvenient it is to observe the sky from this place: the horizon is too close, there are no signs of distant sightings.
In addition, in ancient times, the roofs of the dwellings of the nearby builders' settlement of the complex obstructed the view in ancient times … In fact, only the last three menhirs, oriented towards sunrise on the solstice, can be attributed to the near-horizon observatory. This is an earlier building. The circular complex itself dates back to the times of Arkaim, and it is more than a near-horizon observatory, more than Stonehenge!
Four Ural rivers originate from the mountain ranges in the Akhunovo region - the Ural, Uy, Ai and Miass. In ancient times, this territory was revered as the Great Source and was considered sacred. Therefore, it is no coincidence that the megalithic complex was built here.

But if this is not a near-horizon observatory, then what?
- The answer to this question can be given after measurements at Akhunovo, made with the help of modern instruments - a theodolite and a GPS receiver. It turns out that the line passing through the two central menhirs deviates from the true north-south direction by 13.2 degrees in the north-east-south-west direction. This is the main mystery, because in this case the northern menhir points to the Akhuntau peak, which is dominant in this area, located 14 kilometers from Akhunovo (the top of this mountain, like a "fly" in the sight, looks out in a natural hollow on the horizon).
And the southern menhir points to a hill, the top of which lies on the same meridian … with the geometric center of Arkaim. The offset is only 13 seconds on a graticule, that is, about 150 meters. But this offset also has its own meaning. Thanks to this displacement, a strip of 150-200 meters wide is formed, which passes through one of the three ancient Aryan cities opened this year - Bakhty, which are part of the system of the Country of Cities.
That is, we are talking about the so-called "sacred meridian" that connected the objects of the Country of Cities and "Akhunovo". Probably, other ancient legends are connected with this megalithic complex?
- Initially, archaeologists excavated eight pillar pits located in a circle around the northern central menhir. Now, due to the carelessness of the pioneers, who left the megalithic complex “uncovered” after excavations, these holes were trampled by cattle. These "holes" had an equally important role in the entire complex: each "hole" corresponded to one of the "small" menhirs installed around the northern one.
In the ellipse formed by eight menhirs, there is a circle resembling an embryo in an egg … If we turn to legends, the Akhunov Circle is a blockage of the Dragon that stole the World Egg, which contains the souls of the Sun and the Moon. And I do not know in what relation the ancient builders of "Stonehenge" were with the Dragon …
Did you want to protect him or, conversely, curb? In addition, when comparing the plan of the megalithic complex with a map of the starry sky, it turned out that the "small" menhirs located in a circle depict the Poles of the World at a certain time period for 26 thousand years!
And the menhir, under which archaeologists found the only artifact - a broken pot, marks the beginning of the Path and points to the North Star of our time. The next menhir points to the "heart" of the constellation of the Dragon, which at the time of Arkaim was the Pole of the World … That is, our complex "Akhunovo" became direct physical evidence that our distant ancestors knew about the precession and possessed information about changes in the starry sky. They knew everything about the Universe!
Your arguments look very convincing, but official science does not take them seriously. Researches of the Ural "Stonehenge" also turned out to be "unheard" by scientists?
- I myself was amazed when I conducted a study of the Akhunovo megalithic complex! For me, studying it became a kind of exam, a test of my entire paleoastronomic and geodetic theory about the Land of Cities, which is now being criticized. And I passed this exam successfully! And eminent scientists were mistaken …
