Maiden Mountain

Girls Mountain, Maiden Mountain
Ukraine, Trypillia
Girl Mountain is located at the entrance to the village of Trypillya (if you go from Kyiv). At the top of the mountain that rises on the Dnieper, Zarubinets times had an owl-shaped altar-oven. The altar was a composition of nine hemispherical recesses. Probably, this kind of altar was intended for vessels in which some kind of potion or grain could be boiled during the festive ceremony.

There was no city, no settlement. The mountain itself from the side of the river has a cut pyramidal shape, which rises above the coastal floodplains of the Dnieper. The upper platform is small and consists of two flat steps. The altar is placed in such a way that it occupies the middle of the mountain, next to it is a Zarubintsy burial of the 1st century BC. BC. - 1st century AD From the side, opposite the Dnieper, Devoch-Gora falls in a wide gentle slope, as if specially designed for solemn processions from the settlement to the altar of the virgin goddess.
