Another “living embodiment” of astrological principles in urban planning is, oddly enough, Moscow. The fact is that the existing radial-ring building structure was laid during the time of Jacob Bruce (an associate of Peter I), who, as you know, was an outstanding astrologer. Therefore, the layout of Moscow has not only practical, but also astrological significance, dividing the capital into 12 sectors, it associates each of which with a certain sign of the zodiac. So Moscow can be called both the successor of Arkaim and all the ancient Aryan clans. The high culture of the inhabitants of Arkaim is proved by numerous archaeological finds – works of art, weapons, ritual objects. They owned not only agricultural technologies, but also highly developed metallurgy and metalworking techniques. However, Arkaim, however, like other excavations of the “Country of Cities” – just the smallest part of the huge and mysterious culture of our ancestors, the ancient Aryans. She is still waiting for her researchers.

Modern Arkaim is visited by thousands of tourists and dozens of researchers a year. The density of research (primarily historical) is quite high. Excavations have been temporarily suspended here. In June 2000, Cosmopoisk researchers mapped several surrounding hills in the ancient city. In August 2004 in Arkaim, a regional collection “Ural-Cosmopoisk” (headed by M. Solomatin) was held…

Directions to Arkaim:

1) By train to Magnitogorsk in the Chelyabinsk region; by train through Kartaly to the Breda station; by bus or by car go west to the Amurskiy settlement, then to the confluence of the Utyaganka and B. Karaganka rivers, tributaries of the Ural river in the Bredinsky district.

2) From Magnitogorsk by bus or by car go south through Agapovka, Kizilskoe, then east through Obruchevka – before reaching Amurskoe. The sought-after place is located on the left bank of the B. Karaganka, not far (slightly to the north) from the Bredy – Amurskiy – Obruchevka road. There is a sign “Arkaim” on the road. A tourist camp and a hotel have been set up in the excavation area, there are shops, cafes, a video room and a museum.

You must go directly to the mothballed excavations of Arkaim with a local guide and with permission from archaeologists!The ancient city is protected, and the excavations themselves are mothballed, access for tourists is open to some parts of Arkaim and to buildings recreated and reconstructed according to ancient models. In summer, near the ancient city, there are usually tents of travelers who have come from all over the country, the atmosphere in the camp is quite complacent. A map of the area and advice can be obtained from Kosmopoisk.
