Arkaim
with heights we grow
Tempera on canvas. 2002. 80 х 92 cm
Arkaim is located in the bowl-shaped valley surrounded with hills where even today you could find distant visors which were observed from Arkaim. This precisely shows that the town was used as an observatory.
How the wisemen of Arkaim used obtained astronomical data? Did they just calculated proper time for seeding or waited for favorable location of stars for some unknown sacred missions?
The painting depicts view to the Arkaim valley from the hill which is now called the Love mountain, to the left is the so called Shaman's hill.
