Anyone know anything about the trees in the form of the symbol at 52° 28’ 47.56” N 62° 11’ 10.20” E ? It is in Kazakhstan. They seem to have been planted. In Google Earth there is a picture of the area.

Though it's difficult to discern from an aerial photograph exactly what the Kazakh pentagram is, Emm[FONT=Times New Roman,serif]a Usmanova[/FONT], an archaeologist with years of experience working in the Lisakovsk area, has an answer.

"It is the outline of a park made in the form of a star," [FONT=Times New Roman,serif]Usmanova [/FONT]told LiveScience. The star was a popular symbol during the Soviet era (Kazakhstan was a part of the former Soviet Union until its dissolution in 1991). Stars were often used throughout the Soviet Union to decorate building facades, flags and monuments. (Several online comments had suggested the star shape was the abandoned site of a Soviet-era lakeside campground.)

Seems strange they would have used that symbol unless the leaders who oversaw the park were under Satanic influence. When I think of a park I think of a nice peaceful place not something Satanic. It seems that something that represents Satan would not be appropriate to match the idea of a park.

Maybe for you and me; but remember, we're talking the Soviet Union. There wasn't much stock placed in religious themes, so in their minds the star was a representation of the nation, not Satan.

That doesn't mean they weren't influenced by Satan; just that they didn't recognize the influence.
