General information about Stone Grave Historical and Archaeological Reserve (Terpinnia)

A giant pile of stones up to 12 m high - the remains of sandstone of the former Sarmatian Sea. The shape resembles a mound, whence the name. It has been used as a sanctuary since ancient times. Many stones are covered with images of the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Copper-Bronze Age and the Middle Ages (from the XVI-XIII millennia BC to the X-XII centuries). Some researchers believe that the writings of the Stone Tomb are more archaic than the writing of Sumer, and are the oldest examples of writing on Earth. In order to preserve the petroglyphs, the passages to them are covered with sand. Copies can be seen in the building of the museum-reserve "Stone Grave". Especially impressive is the sculpture of a man-fish aged 7,000 years.

Гігантське нагромадження каміння висотою до 12 м - залишки пісковика колишнього Сарматського моря. За формою нагадує курган, звідки і походить назва. З найдавніших часів використовувалося як святилище. Багато каменів покриті зображеннями епох палеоліту, мезоліту, міді-бронзи та середньовіччя (від XVI-XIII тисячоліть до н. е. до X-XII ст.). Деякі дослідники вважають, що письмена Кам'яної Могили архаїчніші, ніж писемність Шумера, і є найдавнішими зразками писемності на Землі. З метою збереження петрогліфів проходи до них засипані піском. Копії можна побачити в будівлі музею-заповідника "Кам'яна могила". Особливо вражає скульптура людини-риби віком 7 тисяч років.
