In the spring of 2015, as a result of the reconstruction of the motorway, a unique historical monument was completely destroyed -
The “Koga cross” was discovered in the winter of 2014. The old road passed almost in the center of the object, with most of the geoglyph was whole. We knew that on the highway there are works on the reconstruction of the road surface. In the spring of 2014, through the media, we organized an information campaign to prevent the destruction of the historical monument. State departments were also notified. We were promised that the historical monument will be preserved. But in the spring of 2015, we found that the monument was completely destroyed by construction equipment.
Geogliff "Koga Cross" was one of 85 similar ancient structures found in the Turgay trough, in the north of Kazakhstan, during the last 11 years.
My name is Dmitriy Dey, and I am the discoverer of the Turgay trough geoglyphs, head of the research project – Turgay Discovery https://www.facebook.com/dmitriy.dey
The first geoglyphs, I discovered in March 2007 as a result of studying satellite images of the Turgay trough area, available in the Google Earth program. "Ushtogay square" and "Turgay Triquetra" became the beginning of exciting studies and unexpected discoveries carried out on the expanses of the Turgay steppes.
We collect funds for three tasks:
1. PROTECTION Implementation of a variety of measures to save geoglyphs located in the risk zone (such as geoglyphs located in close proximity to populated areas, agricultural lands and roads).
2. RESEARCH Preparation and implementation of large-
3.
The collected funds will be purchased: expeditionary transport and equipment, video equipment, measuring instruments and scientific equipment. Each geoglyph we will install an information board with a warning about the criminal responsibility for the destruction of historical monuments. The research community Keepers Geoglyphs Turgai, will take the patronage over the geoglyphs according to the current legislation. A whole series of research expeditions will be carried out. All information about the promotion of the project will be translated by a professional translator into English and exhibited on the created community website.
Be a participant of the international research community Keepers Geoglyphs Turgay, together we will protect geoglyphs from destruction and save them for descendants.
