      Map of the monuments of the "Country of Cities" of the Bronze Age of the Southern Urals. Chariots from the steppes of the Southern Urals. In the Southern Urals (Chelyabinsk and Orenburg regions, Bashkortostan, Northern Kazakhstan) there is a famous archaeological culture, including dozens of similar monuments of antiquity, named after the most famous settlement – the Arkaim culture (according to Arkaim in the Chelyabinsk region, 26 cities-settlements have been found at the present time in the Chelyabinsk, Orenburg regions, Bashkortostan and northern Kazakhstan). The "Country of Cities" is located in the territories of the Chelyabinsk Region, Orenburg Region, Bashkortostan of the Russian Federation and northern Kazakhstan. The settlements are scattered over an area with a diameter of 350 km . The term "Country" best characterizes this location of cities. In addition to the fact that all the cities found were built on a compact territory in the same period of time, in the same architectural style and using the same engineering solutions, similar materials, other unifying properties are also viewed. The cities of the Sintashta culture were inhabited by people of the same ethnic group (belonging to the Caucasians) and conducted similar economic activities. The age of the monuments is 3700 years old, the youngest of them. The presence of the so-called Magnetic Mountain, magnetism (modern Chelyabinsk region), apparently influenced the formation of ancient human settlements here, as well as on the territory of the modern Voronezh region in Kostenki, where the Kursk magnetic anomaly takes place. An ancient legend tells that a shepherd near the town of Magnesia in Asia Minor (now Turkey), in search of a sheep, went to the mountains where there were black stones and noticed with amazement that his stick with an iron tip stones attract to themselves, as if the stick attracts and holds an invisible hand, or maybe the hands, the shepherd took them to the city showed all residents that "magic" stones attract iron things, in addition, these same iron things attract other metals. And these stones were magnetic ironstone, which was named magnet on behalf of this city. Magnetism was known in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, the Chroniclers of Ancient China wrote about magnetic gates through which enemies with metal weapons could not pass. The multi-armed dancing Indian Shiva may be demonstrating a manifestation of magnetism.
