Geoglyphs in the Kostanay region were opened in 2007 by Dmitriy Dey [1]. Currently it is (supposedly) the oldest architectural monuments on the territory of Kazakhstan. Objects have different shapes and sizes. The greatest attention is attracted to six objects: the “Turgay triradial fylfot” Hill near Urpek (50°06'09.82"N, 65°21'40.90"E) - Overall dimensions: 95m x 95m (the Main Hill); the “Ushtogay's Square” hills complex (50°49'58.48"N, 65°19'34.70"E) - Overall dimensions: 387m x 394m; the “Ashtasti's Large cross” hills complex (50°13'39.62"N, 66°17'31.15"E) - Overall dimensions: 431m x 386m; the “Ekedyn's cross” hills complex (49°30'44.68"N, 65°51'44.09"E) - Overall dimensions: 249m x 229m; the “Kogai’s cross” hills complex (50°22'31.96"N, 65°27'43.98"E) - Overall dimensions: 280m x 212m; the “Amangel’dy’s cross” hills complex (50°10'8.00"N, 65°44'53.83"E) - Overall dimensions: 227m x 207m. The Graphical representation of these objects allows to analyze the geometry and the orientation. The most famous Kazakh geoglyphs have interesting geometric features File:The Kazakhstan's geoglyph "Turgay triradial fylfot" hills Complex and its geometric features.jpg, File:The Kazakhstan's geoglyph “Ashtasti's Large cross” hills Complex and its geometric features.jpg, File:The Kazakhstan's geoglyph “Kogai’s cross” hills Complex and its geometric features.jpg.
