You’ve probably came across this image recently. A humungous pentagram that measures 1,200 feet in diameter was spotted in a remote area in Kazakhstan.

Many people point to the Illuminati or Satan worshipers as they try to make sense of such symbol that can be viewed in Google Maps by inputting the coordinates +52° 28′ 47.14″, +62° 11′ 8.38″

But before you go down the rabbit hole and start blaming those Levy followers, LiveScience has the answer. History is interesting:

Though it’s difficult to discern from an aerial photograph exactly what the Kazakh pentagram is, Emma Usmanova, 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,” Usmanova 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. (Indeed, several online comments had suggested the site is an abandoned Soviet-era campground.)

The star in the lakeside park is marked by roadways that are now lined with trees, Usmanova explained, which make the star shape even more distinct in aerial photos. Additional images of the site, now abandoned and overgrown with weeds, can be seen at englishrussia.com.
