	<span style="line-height:1.5;">Based on the example of Shigir idols, the article reviews the possibility
of using the ancient sacred objects as tools for orientation in space-time
(according to dating of C-14, the age of the Grand Shigir Idol is 11,000
years). Author¡¯s reconstructions of solar navigation technology are justified
by: paleo-astronomic and metrological calculations; reflection of curve of
shadow of the gnomon during the year in the proportions of the body and face of
anthropomorphic figures; comparison of geometric basics of ¡°faces¡± of Shigir

milestones of the eighteenth century in St. Petersburg. The results show a ration</span><span style="line-height:1.5;">al
