Arkaim

Imagine you are playing with blocks and you build a small house. Now imagine you have a whole bunch of friends and together, you build a much bigger house. This bigger house is like Arkaim.

Arkaim is a very old and important place in Russia. It is what we call an ancient city. Long, long ago, many people came together to build this city. They built houses, walls, and streets. It was like a big, busy village!

One of the coolest things about Arkaim is that it was built in a special shape. It is like a big circle with streets and buildings inside. This is called a circular settlement. It is very rare and unique.

The people who lived in Arkaim were very smart. They had invented many things that we use today like metals, tools, and farming. They were also good at watching the stars and the sky. They knew a lot about planets and stars, and they used this knowledge for their farming and religion.

Eventually, the people who had lived in Arkaim left and the city was forgotten. It was not until many, many years later that people found it again and were amazed at how special it was. Today, people visit Arkaim to learn more about the very clever people who built and lived in that ancient city so long ago.
