Owen Jarus, of LiveScience, has written an interesting article about the recently discovered Siberian geoglyph which has been confirmed as the world's oldest and largest figure image; dating back to about 4,000 BC.
"Fieldwork carried out this past summer has shed more light on the glyph's composition and date, suggesting it may be the product of a "megalithic culture," researchers say. They note that hundreds ofmegalithic sites have been discovered in the Urals, with the most elaborate structures located on a freshwater island about 35 miles (60 km) northeast of the geoglyph"
