Polatsk Stonehenge.

[agni]

I've been reading about "Varangians to Greeks" trading route, and came across article about stonehenge structure located along the way. Which located close to village Bikulnichi (Belarus), on the shore of lake Yanavo. There are group of stones there, that reassemble the center English stonehenge. All corners located in a same manner. During the course of year, it shows where sun rises & settles, as well it's major points of Sun movement in the sky (Winter & Summer Solstice, Spring & Autumn equinox).

Polatsk Stonehenge, is only a part of ancient complex and the route. What is the most interesting, the shape of lakes along one part of the route, mysteriously identically(!) reassembles shape of 3 constellations: Orion (lake Yanava), Canis Major (lake Homel), and Taurus (lake Paulskae). The most surprising part is, that not only shape of the lakes reassemble constellations, but location of lakes is identical to location of the constillations on star map. Meaning, star map is a reflection of geographical map, or in other words, sky is reflected on earth.

Mysterious stone structures in the wooded area near the Kupa Belarusian city of Orsha became the subject of study specialists of the Belarusian National Academy of Sciences.
In the center of a mysterious object is a stone with a diameter of about 2 meters, which is surrounded by two rings of smaller boulders. Total in the construction is about 40 stones.
The scientists have several explanations purpose facility, according to news agency BelaPAN. On one of them stones were used as a calendar, on the other - it was the observatory.
It must say that the object is located at latitude 54 degrees, which is considered optimal for observing the Moon.
Probably also is the assumption that it was a pagan temple, where sacrifices to the gods.
Far from the mysterious building archaeologists discovered Neolithic, dating from the third millennium BC.
We processed data from the expedition, after which the decision will be made on further research.

From myself I can add, according to some researchers a name Apollo represents deformed name Kupolon-Kupavon (from Sanskrit root KUP), now kept as a name of pagan god Kupala.

If the name of this place "Kupa" occurs on behalf of the god "Kupala", ancient Greeks probably could name such construction "Apollo's temple".
