The 5,500-Year-Old Ukrainian Stonehenge

December 1, 2023

The Ukrainian Stonehenge is a 5,500-year-old burial mound located in Ukraine. It is the largest burial site in the world and has a diameter of 18 m. Inside the mound is a circle of stones that originally formed a cromlech with 24 bevels standing vertically.

The stones were extracted from a rock outcrop on the bank of the Nepa River by hammering wooden stakes into the cracks in the rock until the rock broke into slabs. The service of stone extraction affects the size and shape of the stones used in the mound.

Despite not being as well-known as Stonehenge and the pyramids of Egypt, the Ukrainian Stonehenge is enormous and has been in existence for longer. The host encourages viewers to learn more about ancient sites, subscribe to the channel and share their thoughts.
