Abstract
 

The need for research of historical monuments in various astronomical coordinates very relevant today because in recent years it has not denied the idea that ancient people knew very well the starry sky because of their worship of the heavenly forces. That's why not only newly discovered, but long-studied sites should be subject to full arheoastronomicheskim research in terms of availability in the monuments of astronomical coordinates. Usually arheoastronomicheskie studies are reduced to the study of astronomical objects in the Horizontal coordinates, when analyzing the position of celestial bodies above the horizon. However, this is not enough for a full analysis of the historical astronomical sites. Some items remain unexplained, because of their affiliation to other celestial coordinates: Equatorial, Ecliptical, Galactical.
