Russian Moose

The Russian Moose geoglyph, which measures 900 by 12 by 15 feet and borders the Zyuratkul lake in Russia's Ural Mountains, is claimed to be the oldest in the world, dating back more than 6,000 years. While looking through Google Earth photographs, a local researcher named Alexander Shestakov uncovered it. Shestakov then flew a seaplane and a paraglider over the area, followed by an archaeological investigation.

The moose is likely to have been created by a local megalithic civilisation, and both children and adults are thought to have assisted in the digging of its vast ditches. However, it is widely assumed that the adults of the tribe did not use forced child labor. The construction of the moose geoglyph was a collaborative effort to impart the common ideals of the tribe's culture in the children who assisted in its construction. However, who those people were and why they created the moose geoglyph remain unknown.
