The skeleton of a long-skull woman found in Arkaim, Russia

This skeleton of a long-skull woman was found in Arkaim, near Chelyabinsk in central Russia. The skeleton is dated to the second or third century CE, and the settlement is dated to about 2,000 BCE. The settlement was about 20,000 square metres in size, had a central square surrounded by two circles of houses separated by a street, and was protected by two circular walls.

According to historian K. K. Bystrushkin (2003), the site is comparable to Stonehenge in that both sites enabled ancient people to study the stars. However, Bystrushkin considers the Arkaim site to be more advanced than Stonehenge as Stonehenge allows for observations of 10 astronomical phenomena using 22 elements, but Arkaim enables observations of 18 phenomena using 30 elements. Therefore ancient people at Arkaim could have observed and tracked more celestial events than was possible at Stonehenge.

Eventually the Arkaim settlement was burned down and abandoned.
