Kanda Geoglyph
Geoglyph in North Macedonia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kanda Geoglyph is a geoglyph located in the central parts of North Macedonia, near the town of Sveti Nikole in the Ovce Pole area.[citation needed] Aerial photography has shown that the geoglyph is an oval-shaped hill and can only be seen perfectly from above.[1] An aerial analysis using an infrared camera revealed a different composition of the soil in the hill compared to the surrounding soil.[1]
In 2014 international researchers investigating the geoglyph concluded that the variance corresponds to the presence of a cavity inside the hill, presumed to be a few tens of meters beneath the surface.[1] It is believed[by whom?] that the hill at Kanda is a cairn with an inner chamber or that the hill was raised on top of an existing hill to form the cairn, thus increasing its original height.[1]
Further analysis
Researchers, using an instrument to measure infrasound vibrations, realized there was the possibility of the existence of an underground water stream, deeper than the cavities of the tumulus.[1] This hypothesis has not yet been confirmed through the use of geophysical survey techniques such as ground-penetrating radar.[1]
