Tourist Information
The geoglyph consists of mounds constructed in the shape of a three-pronged swastika. Each prong of this swastika ends in a figure whose ends are curved counterclockwise. The earthen ramparts that make up the Turgai Swastika are 0.5 meters high, each prong is 33-35 meters long, and 15-20 meters wide.
In the center of the swastika is a small depression, approximately 5 meters deep. The entire geoglyph is 90-100 meters in size. Nearby are earthen ramparts of unknown purpose, surrounded by a moat.
The dating of this geoglyph is uncertain; some researchers suggest that the structure dates from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages.
