Gift to the Gods - The message - Akim

It is known that ancestors of slavonic nation (called Ethruski) were lived in South Ural (Russia). Their religion, preceded by Christian, was based on belief in Veles (god). In 1987 two russian archaeologist have found the ancient city (Chelyabinsk District ,South Ural) constructed on exact astronomical data. It’s called Arkaim. As a Stonehenge, Arkaim was ancient observatory. Radiocarbon analysis has shown that age of a construction is 3600-3700 years. It approximately as much as Stonehenge age.

youtube link on 10 mins movie about Arkaim from bird view

I found it very interesting for challenge, so there is my last moment decision thread.

Well, I’ll try to go back in time of Ethruski and make a good shot of something like one of the ancient culture monument.

Ok, I found interesting example of ancient slavonic swastika in book and decided to make something like ancient architecture structure.

I hope I will done before deadline

Could be very interesting when worked further more. These giant vertical cliff are great, I wonder from where they are.
Anyway I only got one thing to say:
RUSH! DEADLINE IS WEDNESDAY! :P
