The Achinsk site on the territory of the Krasnoyarsk Territory was discovered by the archaeologist G. Avramenko and dates back to the period 20-28 thousand years BC. And the ancient calendar, which changed the idea of the Upper Paleolithic era and the ancient inhabitants of Siberia, was discovered by another archaeologist - Doctor of Historical Sciences V. Larichev.
In 1972, during the excavation of the Achinsk Paleolithic settlement, V. Larichev discovered a sculptural wand made of polished mammoth ivory with rows of tiny depressions that form serpentine wriggling ribbons on the surface of the wand. The found rod turned out to be the oldest calendar of the Paleolithic man (according to the most conservative estimates of 18,000 years), with which he could calculate the duration of the lunar and solar years, as well as the duration of the sidereal (stellar) and synodic periods of the annual rotation of the five planets - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Also, the calendar made it possible to calculate the time of solar and lunar eclipses.
This artifact, called the "Achinsk rod", is a miniature wand carved from mammoth tusk with a specific pattern representing the ancient solar-lunar calendar. Here is how V. Larichev himself describes it:
“On the surface of this miniature sculpture, carved from a mammoth tusk, a Neolithic craftsman managed to place a spiral pattern made up of 1065 holes of various shapes; their serpentine stripes - the most vivid and vivid reflection of the idea of time in ancient ornaments - were interrupted below the middle part by a convex belt of a ring, a common attribute of the sacred rod of the wise men of the Ancient East.
The easiest way was to declare these ribbons of microdots “ornamental” and write on this occasion the usual words about the jewelry skill of the ancient sculptor, as well as about the delicate grace and surprisingly balanced rhythm with which the spiral pattern wriggling with a snake was encircling the sculpture. However, the ancient Siberian rod with a ring demanded not superficial quibbles, but the most painstaking and systematic study, an explanation of those mysterious signs that the ancient master turned into a magnificent pattern …
And the first thing that attracts attention is the multiplicity of three of the number of holes in separate ribbons of spirals. Only tapes 173 and 187 are not subject to this pattern. But at the base they are aligned, and the total sum of their holes (360) is still subject to this general pattern.

The second feature is the number of holes in the ribbons of spirals, so to speak, is calendar in nature. Indeed: tape 45 reflects the duration of one and a half lunar months and an eighth of a solar year; 177th half of the lunar year and the number of days from the autumn to the spring equinox; 207 - half of the lunar year plus one month; 173rd half of the so-called draconic year, which plays a special role in determining the time of a possible eclipse; 187th - the number of days from the spring to the autumn equinox; 273rd - 10 sidereal (stellar) lunar months, or three quarters of the solar year; 3rd three days full moon is observed with the naked eye without any signs of damage; in the same calendar period known as the new moon, the moon may not be visible in the sky; 1065 - the total number of holes,engraved on the surface of the sculpture is three lunar years plus two days.
Of course, everything, if desired, can be explained by chance. And yet it is difficult to imagine that when engraving a special ornament, the ancient artist and sculptor of Siberia placed the holes in the ribbons so that their number in each hole, despite his will and mind, turned out to be a multiple of three and just as inadvertently reflected the remarkable calendar blocks of time counting The moon and the sun.
This conclusion was later found additional confirmation when analyzing the calendar holes in separate lines, which, bending like a serpentine, formed an “engraved field” of each of the ribbons of the spirals … The thoughtfulness and intentionality of such numerical rhythms look especially significant if we pay attention to the fact that in the lines of the ribbons not only mathematical, but also calendar is noticeable …"
Despite V. Larichev's fear, the discovery of this artifact, which does not fit into the version of the official history, did not provoke an open protest from orthodox historians. He was even recognized, but they tried to shut up and consign him to oblivion. Obviously, the quality of research on the discovered artifact does not allow either to protest or refute the conclusions of the archaeologist. But on the other hand, such artifacts can simply be “ignored”.
