In the vast and cold land of Siberia, the impression of desolation has long been left on the population. However, in recent years, a number of explorers and archaeologists have discovered some amazing ruins in the depths of Siberia that may reveal the existence of an ancient and unknown civilization. These mysterious relics are the huge stone walls of Siberia, which are distributed in different regions of Siberia, some of which are tens of meters high, some are up to 200 meters long, and they are of different shapes, some are round, some are square, and some even form complex patterns. There was a great deal of interest in how these stone walls were built. What's the secret behind them? These questions have been bothering researchers and explorers, and they are attracting more and more people's attention. In fact, the Siberian stone wall was not recently discovered.
As early as the 19th century, some Russian explorers and geologists found traces of stone walls in the mountains and forests of Siberia. For example, in 1853, the Russian geologist Kovalevsky discovered the remains of some stone walls in the Altai Mountains in Siberia, which he believed were ancient fortresses or altars. In 1886, the Russian explorer Prevalsky discovered some circular stone walls in the Sayan Mountains in Siberia, which he believed were ancient astronomical observatories or sundials. In 1891, the Russian geographer Obruchev discovered some square stone walls near Lake Baikal in Siberia, which he believed were ancient cemeteries or temples. However, the scientific community at the time did not pay much attention to these early discoveries. Because the opinion at that time was that Siberia was a sparsely populated region in prehistoric times, and that a highly developed civilization could not have existed. These stone walls are considered to be a naturally occurring wonder or the product of some nomadic rudimentary architecture, so they have not been given much value in scientific research.
However, as time went on, as the development and exploration work in Siberia progressed, more and more stone walls were discovered, which aroused the interest of some researchers. Using modern technology and methods, they made detailed measurements and analyses of the stone walls and discovered some shocking facts. These new studies reveal that the stone walls were not naturally formed or simply peasant buildings, but were carefully designed and constructed. Their size and structural complexity suggest that there may have been a highly developed ancient civilization behind it. Even more shocking is the weight of the stones. Researchers estimate that some of the granite stones weigh more than 3,000 tons, and many of them are neatly cut, with "flat surfaces, right-angled angles and sharp corners." Rock of this magnitude had never been found before, and the largest rock found in the ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon was no more than 1,500 tons, so how did the builders of these monoliths cut 3,000 tons of granite so precisely, transport them up the mountain and pile them up to 40 meters high?
The researchers also discovered some surprising phenomena during their investigation, further revealing the mysteries of the megalithic area. They found that some of the stones had been melted by high temperatures, forming signs of softening, and some of the stones had been greatly damaged, as if there had been an old war here. What was particularly surprising was that the compass carried by the team was out of course for no apparent reason within the boulder area. Researchers speculate that this is because the boulders are magnetic, which affects the geomagnetic field here. This phenomenon is very similar to what is found in Pumapungu, where almost all the stone is magnetic. In response to the destruction of these boulders, people began to wonder what kind of force could cause such great damage. After all, granite is a very hard, weather-resistant, and non-chipping stone. This raises the question of who exactly built these ruins. Why did they choose to build these megalithic structures in such a remote mountainous area with such a harsh climate? An interesting point has been made by some scholars, who believe that the area where the monolith is located has not always been known for its harsh climate.
During the Ice Age, about 20,000 years ago, this area may have been a habitable place for humans. While ice covers much of the Northern Hemisphere, in southern Siberia, the climate is relatively mild, and instead, it is a vast grassland with a large number of herbaceous plants and a habitat for many megafauna such as mammoths, giant rhinos, and more. In fact, the remains of a large number of mammoths have been found in the permafrost of Siberia. These mammoths also contain undigested food in their mouths and stomachs, which are plants that grow in temperate and even **zone regions. Researchers believe that the mammoths of that time experienced sudden flooding and then were frozen in a very short period of time. In recent decades, several stunning ancient structures have been discovered in the Siberian region, which were actually built from the bones of mammoths. One of the most striking was in 2020, when dozens of huge mammoth bone rings were discovered on the west bank of the Don River, about 500 kilometers south of Moscow, which were pieced together from a large number of mammoth bones in a circular shape.
Researchers estimate that the bones of at least a few hundred mammoths are needed for each bone ring. These massive remains are so heavy that one might need to use a crane to transport them if placed in modern times. According to radiocarbon dating, the buildings date back to about 20,000 years ago. After a closer examination of these bone rings, scholars have come up with the alarming idea that ancient humans killed hundreds of mammoths and used their remains as building materials to form structures around them. In the center of the bone ring, a large amount of charcoal has also been found, indicating that ancient humans used fire for heat in these peculiar buildings, which were once their winter refuge.
Siberian megaliths show that they are the product of human construction during the last ice age. The builder may have been a forgotten, highly developed civilization. However, with the end of the Ice Age, their environment changed dramatically, and like the extinction of the mammoth, they were devastated. Their civilization has disappeared into the long river of history, leaving only some mysterious relics waiting to be explored and interpreted by future generations. These relics have given us a new understanding of the history of the earth, and what we know about the history of the earth is just the tip of the iceberg? What do you think about this?
