General information about National Historical and Archaeological Reserve "Kamyana Mohyla" (Myrne)

The National Historical and Archaeological Reserve "Kamyana Mohyla" (literally - "Stone Grave") is located in the village of Myrne near Melitopol.

A gigantic pile of stones up to 12 meters high - the remains of the sandstone of the former Sarmatian Sea. The shape resembles a mound, which is where the name comes from. It has been used as a sanctuary since ancient times. Many stones are covered with images of the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Copper-Bronze and Middle Ages (from the 16th-13th millennia BC to the 10th-12th centuries).

Some researchers believe that the writings of the Stone Tomb are more archaic than the writing of Sumer, and are the oldest examples of writing on Earth. In order to preserve the petroglyphs, the passages to them are covered with san ...

It has been used as a sanctuary since ancient times. Many stones are covered with images of the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Copper-Bronze and Middle Ages (from the 16th-13th millennia BC to the 10th-12th centuries).

Some researchers believe that the writings of the Stone Tomb are more archaic than the writing of Sumer, and are the oldest examples of writing on Earth. In order to preserve the petroglyphs, the passages to them are covered with sand. Copies can be seen in the building of the "Kamyana Mohyla" (Stone Grave) museum-reserve. The 7,000-year-old fish-man sculpture is especially impressive.

During the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the "Kamyana Mohyla" (Stone Grave) reserve was located on the territory occupied by Russian troops. In April 2022, the occupiers mined all approaches and the territory of the reserve. In November of the same year, the Russian occupation authorities transferred the "Kamyana Mohyla" (Stone Grave) reserve to the management of the "Khersones Tavriyskyi" museum-reserve in the previously annexed Sevastopol. The "Kamyana Mohyla" (Stone Grave) Museum was robbed.

Національний історико-археологічний заповідник "Кам'яна могила" розташований в смт Мирне поблизу Мелітополя.

Гігантське нагромадження каміння висотою до 12 метрів - залишки пісковика колишнього Сарматського моря. За формою нагадує курган, звідки і походить назва. З найдавніших часів використовувалося як святилище. Багато каменів покриті зображеннями епох палеоліту, мезоліту, міді-бронзи та середньовіччя (від XVI-XIII тисячоліть до нашої ери до X-XII століть).

Деякі дослідники вважають, що письмена Кам'яної Могили архаїчніші, ніж писемність Шумера, і є найдавнішими зразками писемності на Землі. З метою збереження петрогліфів проходи до них засипані піском. Копії можна побачити в будівлі музею-заповідника "Кам'яна могила". Особливо вражає скульп ...

Копії можна побачити в будівлі музею-заповідника "Кам'яна могила". Особливо вражає скульптура людини-риби віком 7 тисяч років.

Під час широкомасштабного російського вторгнення в Україну заповідник "Кам'яна Могила" опинився на окупованій російськими військами території. В квітні 2022 року окупанти замінували всі підступи та територію заповідника. В листопаді того ж року російська окупаційна влада передала заповідник "Кам'яна могила" в управління музею-заповіднику "Херсонес Таврійський" в раніше анексованому Севастополі. Музей "Кам'яна могила" пограбований.
