ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The photo was taken early in the morning. The fog turned the mountain range ‘Sunduki’ into an even more mystical place. This mountain ridge is a complex of archaeological objects which include burial mounds, rock paintings and special constructions in the Republic of Khakassia. The whole complex was used to watch the sky. It was an astronomic observatory of the ancient people.
