Deer stones with inscriptions, 1000 BC, Mongolia
Deer stones (also known as reindeer stones) are ancient megaliths carved with symbols found largely in Siberia and Mongolia. The name comes from their carved depictions of flying deer. There are many theories to the reasons behind their existence and the people who made them. Deer stones are usually constructed from granite or greenstone, depending on which is the most abundant in the surrounding area. They have varying heights; most are over 3 feet tall, but some reach a height of 15 feet. The tops of the stones can be flat, round or smashed, suggesting that perhaps the original top had been deliberately destroyed. The stones are usually oriented with the decorated face to the east

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Deer stones, ancient megaliths adorned with intriguing symbols, dating back to 1000 BC in Mongolia. These remarkable stones, also known as reindeer stones due to their carved depictions of flying deer, are predominantly found in Siberia and Mongolia. The origins and purpose behind these mystical creations remain shrouded in mystery. Constructed from either granite or greenstone based on local availability, Deer stones vary in height but most exceed three feet, while some towering specimens reach an impressive 15 feet. Interestingly, the tops of these stones exhibit diverse shapes - flat, round or deliberately smashed - suggesting deliberate destruction of their original crowning feature. Notably oriented with their decorated face towards the east, Deer stones hold a significant place of interest for archaeologists and historians alike. Their existence raises numerous theories about the people responsible for crafting them and the motivations behind such intricate carvings. In this mesmerizing photograph captured by Danita Delimont from Fine Art Storehouse, we are transported to the vast outdoors where one can appreciate the grandeur and allure of these ancient monuments. With no human presence visible within its frame, this image allows us to immerse ourselves fully into contemplating the secrets that lie within these timeless relics.
