[edit] Merging this article with "Ukrainian stone stela"

Article addresses kurgan obelisks located only in a part of the geographical zone where kurgan obelisks are found, which is from Germany to Mongolia. Merging this article with "Ukrainian stone stela" would far exceed the scope of the "Ukrainian stone stela". Barefact 04:00, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

  • I strongly agree. "Kurgan Obelisks" article is certainly general. E104421 10:15, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
  • yes, the Ukrainian article should possibly be merged here. dab (𒁳) 10:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kypchaks

Actually, we have an image illustrating these artifacts at Kypchaks.

The title of the article is misleading. In particular, the photograph seems to represent a Kypchak stela, similar to the ones I have seen in the special museum in Dnepropetrovsk. For details, see Svetlana Pletneva's Polovtsy (1990). --Ghirla -трёп- 13:12, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I repeat my request to provide evidence that these artifacts are specifically associated with kurgans. From what I have heard, many have been found in level steppe.
Furthermore, it would be nice to see references to modern scholars who connect them with nomadic civilizations other than the Kipchaks.
The article needs some pretty obvious copyediting: "Balash" -> Balashov, "Ahtyr" -> Akhtyrka, "Voronej" -> Voronezh, etc, etc. --Ghirla -трёп- 23:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
