Kamyana Mohyla (literally: "stone grave") is an archaeological site in the Molochna River valley, about a mile from the village of Terpinnya, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukraine. Petroglyphs of Kamyana Mohyla are dated from Upper Paleolithic (Kukrek culture) to Medieval, with Stone Age depictions subjected to most archaeological interest. The site encompasses a group of isolated blocks of sandstone, up to twelve meters in height, scattered around an area of some 3,000 square meters. As Noghai legend has it, it resulted from a scuffle of two baghaturs who took turns throwing rocks at each other. In truth, the site had its origins in a sandbank of the Tethys Ocean. For a long time it was an island in the Molochna River, which has since been silted up and now flows a short distance to the west. It is thought to represent the only sandstone outcrop in the Azov-Kuban Depression.

Comment Can we please get an English translation of the description? Otherwise it's hard for non-Ukrainian speakers to evaluate the encyclopedic value of this image. Buidhe (talk) 17:26, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Quality is good for a drone photo, the light emphasizes the structures nicely, and like other aerial imagery I like it (even without considering the encyclopedic value) as a nice abstract artwork. --Aristeas (talk) 09:05, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Aristeas. Looks like the Earth has a rash there; you want to rub some lotion on it. Daniel Case (talk) 16:38, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
