This paper explores the potential significance, in archaeological, archaeoastronomical, and symbolic terms, of a NW/SE oriented row of 54 stone cairns, locally known as ‘the path of the spirits’. The row of 54 cairns, which is apparently oriented towards the setting of the sun at the summer solstice, also displays a suggestive spatial proximity to an outstanding Late Bronze Age funerary complex. The row of cairns, which has been originally documented in the arid high mountain landscape of the Ikh Bogd Uul Mountain, Eastern Mongolian Altai, does not seem to feature in the archaeological literature of Mongolia. Nevertheless, both these characteristics, namely a NW/SE orientation and a spatial proximity to a Late prehistoric funerary mound, can be also observed in a row of 9 stone cairns documented in the satellite imagery a few kilometres away, on the southern slope of the Ikh Bogd Uul Mountain. In this paper, besides the description of such archaeological features, the hypothesis that the articulation of rows of cairns with a powerful orientation and numerical symbolism could be rooted in ancient and traditional Eurasian cosmologies and could play an important role in the local sacred and funerary geographies is discussed.
