I also have it on good authority that unidentified Flying objects were seen over Roswell during the 1930s.

GGG Ping.
But it was not a Russian Stonehenge, really, because Russia did not exist in those days. It just happens to be in Russian territory now. The Russian language, and all our modern languages, had not even evolved when that structure was assembled.
We know very little about the people who built Stonehenge and similar structures. We certainly do not know their language.
Doesn't sound like it was built of stone either. Kind'a cool though to find something like that.
To the contrary, it would seem to indicate that the late neolithic culture was no so insulated as was to beome the norm later. The movement of ideas and probably, at least small groups of people seems likely.
This fits with your interests blam!

My wife and I stayed at a bed and breakfast in Salisbury, the plain on which Stonehenge stands. During breakfast we told the landlady we were off to see Stonehenge. She started to tell us it was a race of giants long ago who levitated the stones in place. Needless to say we left in a hurry.
On a different note, a retired builder is tying to figure out how to build his own stonehenge all by himself. Go to his website. It is something else.
Yup. I would like to see his evidence for this statement.
"There can be no blood kinship between the ethnic groups who erected Stonehenge and the Ryazan observatory," Mr. Akhmedov contends."

The guy is a mechanical genius! Too bad he didn't get an engineering education, instead of training in carpentry. (OTOH, his carpentry skills obviously serve him well in his present endeavours...)
Once you've seen it, his technique of "walking" a stone using two fulcrums is obvious. (...once you've seen it, that is...) IIRC, he's moving up to 19,600 lbs stones -- so far...
The movie I got a big kick from was seeing him effortlessly roll that 300-lb square-section counterweight along the top of the big stone using his "round road" (actually a sinusoidal track...)
If he doesn't have the right answers as to how the pyramids,etc. were built, he certainly has workable answers!
Thanks for the link!!
Sunday bump.
At home I have a saved article about megalithic stuff in Chechnya (predates Islam, but lack of supporting tradition is commonplace with megalithic stuff wherever it's found). Couldn't find it just now with Google. Anyway...

Thanks for the ping, will have to ping GGG later.
There may have been an advanced culture in the region of North Europe and into present Russia at the time of Ur.
Probably.
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --

Any speculations about the Picts?
