[edit] "Astronomical alignment" claims
I removed the following statements from mainspace, unless they are verified: --Ghirla-трёп- 01:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- There is not a lot of research done on the astronomical alignment of the dolmens in Russia. The orientation of dolmens is different for each of them, but as a rule it would fit into the sunrise/sunset, summer/winter solstices, culmination of the moon and sun, northeast/south/northwest alignments. Only some dolmens are oriented north. Some of the dolmens with proven astronomical orientation:
- The unique megalithic complex Psinako-1: the cairn with an underground dolmen and a long passage.
- Dolmen-pyramid in Mamed canyon.
- False-portal dolmen Volchji Vorota (Wolf's gate) near river Mehops.
