“Browsing Crimea through the Google Earth service, I came across interesting drawings on the ground,” Andrey Alekseevich Gusarenko wrote to the editorial office of Ukraine Abnormal. - They resemble the drawings in the Nazca desert, but for the most part they are geometric, ranging in size from 30 meters in diameter and more. And some even reach sizes of more than 300 meters.”What these geoglyphs (Geoglyph is a geometric or figured pattern applied on the ground, usually over 4 meters long. Many geoglyphs are so large that they can only be viewed from the air) do in Crimea ? An interesting question. It gets even more interesting when you look at these drawings from a bird's eye view.
“In addition to geometric images in the Crimea, there are also drawings depicting something alive, in the attached photos, those who wish can try to determine what is depicted,” Andrei intrigues.
“At first, the thought was about a military training ground, and, accordingly, some kind of marking for testing purposes,” says the virtual archaeologist. - However, looking at the terrain at the military training grounds I know, I was convinced that the drawings I discovered have nothing to do with testing grounds! Further, carefully examining the terrain, I saw that some of the drawings intersect the folds of the terrain that were formed much later - ravines, dirt roads, etc. Hence, a firm belief arose that the drawings were made a long time ago, much earlier than its active development began in Crimea."
- I would like to interest interested persons in this virtual discovery, and would also not mind taking part in a field trip with those interested, and seeing with my own eyes what is on the ground directly?
