The Sanctuary-observatory

0 9 0

The sanctuary was discovered during archaeological excavations. It is found that this temple was created in the second millennium BC and was used for thousands of years. The sanctuary consists of two circles - a large Sun and a small Moon. The sanctuary was used for astronomical observations. It has reference points to the points of sunrise and sunset, the "low" and "high" Moon. This place is located at an altitude of 31 meters above the level of the Dnipro. Ancient people performed here rites of worship to the moon, the sun and the stars. And today this place is very popular. Modern Old Believers in Zaporizhzhia today conduct their rituals of glorifying the Gods here.
