Steppe Geoglyphs bezeichnet eine Reihe von 260 Erdwerkformationen aus der Jungsteinzeit in Torghai in Kasachstan.
Die Formationen sind ca. 8000 Jahre alt. Sie wurden 2007 mittels Google Earth von Dmitriy Dey entdeckt. Sie werden seit 2014 wissenschaftlich erforscht.
Namen der größeren Formationen:
Bestamskoe Ring, Ushtogaysky Square (Ushtogay Square),
Turgay triradial swastika, Large cross Ashtasti,
Ekedyn cross, Ashutasti ring,
Kyzyloba line, Koga cross, Shili square

"...With no genetic material to analyze — neither of the two mounds that have been dug into is a burial site — Dr. Matuzeviciute said she used optically stimulated luminescence, a method of measuring doses from ionizing radiation, to analyze the construction material, and came up with a date from one of the mounds of around 800 B.C. Other preliminary studies push the earliest date back more than 8,000 years, which could make them the oldest such creations ever found. Other materials yield dates in the Middle Ages..."
