Siberia's mysterious stone walls: Relics of prehistoric civilization or natural wonders?

Siberia - a vast landmass in the north of Russia, often known for its cold climate and wilderness. However, in recent years, explorers and archaeologists have discovered incredible ruins in the area, helping to shed light on its history and culture.

These ruins may reveal the existence of an unknown ancient civilization. These mysterious relics are the giant stone walls of Siberia, they are distributed in different areas of Siberia, some are tens of meters high, some are 200 meters long, have different shapes, some are round, some square, and even complex patterns are formed.

There are many people interested in how these stone walls were built. What secrets are hidden behind them? These problems always cause difficulties for researchers and explorers and are also increasingly attracting the attention of many people.

Explorers discovered an ancient stone wall from the 19th century. (Illustration).

As early as the 19th century, several Russian explorers and geologists discovered traces of stone walls in the Siberian mountains and forests. For example, in 1853, Russian geologist Kovalevsky discovered the remains of several stone walls in the Altai Mountains of Siberia, which he believed were ancient fortresses. 

In 1886, Russian explorer Prevalsky discovered several circular stone walls in the Sayan Mountains in Siberia, which he believed were ancient observatories or sundials.

In 1891, Russian geographer Obruchev discovered several square stone walls near Lake Baikal in Siberia, which he believed were ancient cemeteries or temples. However, the scientific community at that time did not pay much attention to these initial discoveries. Because of the view at that time that prehistoric Siberia was a sparsely populated area, a highly developed civilization could not exist. These stone walls are considered natural wonders or are rudimentary construction products of some nomadic ethnic groups, so they do not have much value in scientific research.

However, over time, as the exploration of Siberia progressed, more and more stone walls were discovered, which aroused the interest of some researchers. Using modern technology and methods, they conducted detailed measurements and analyzes of these stone walls and discovered some shocking facts.

These new studies show that these stone walls are not natural formations or simple peasant structures but were carefully designed and built . Their size and structural complexity suggest that there may have been an advanced ancient civilization behind them.

What's even more shocking is the weight of the stone. Researchers estimate that some granite boulders weigh more than 3,000 tons and many are neatly cut, with 'flat surfaces, right angles and sharp corners'. Such huge rocks have never been found before.

The largest stones found at the ruins of Baalbek, Lebanon, also do not exceed 1,500 tons. So how did the builders of these giants cut 3,000 tons of granite so precisely, then transported them to the mountains and stacked them up to 40 meters high?

The surface of some stones was melted by high temperatures, forming soft traces. (Illustration).

Researchers also discovered some surprising phenomena during their investigation, revealing more mysteries about the rock area. They discovered that the surface of some stones had been melted by high temperatures, forming soft traces , and some stones had been heavily damaged, as if an ancient war had occurred in This.

What was especially surprising was that the compass the team brought with them went off course for no apparent reason in the boulder area. Researchers speculate that this is because these rocks are magnetic and influence the geomagnetic field here. This phenomenon is very similar to what is found at Puma Punku, where almost every stone is magnetic.

Regarding the damage of these rocks, people began to think about what kind of force could cause such enormous damage. After all, granite is a very hard stone, can withstand harsh weather, and does not chip easily. This raises the question of who actually built these ruins. Why did they choose to build these megalithic structures in a remote mountainous area with such a harsh climate? An interesting point raised by some scholars is that the area where the monolith is located was not always known for its harsh climate.

During the ice age about 20,000 years ago, this area may have been inhabited by humans. Although ice covers much of the northern hemisphere, the climate in southern Siberia is relatively mild, is a large grassland with many types of herbaceous plants and is home to many giant animals such as mammoths. , giant rhinoceros, etc

In fact, large numbers of mammoth remains have been found in Siberian permafrost. The mouths and stomachs of these mammoths also contained indigestible food from plants growing in temperate and even subtropical regions. Researchers believe that the mammoths experienced a sudden flood and then froze for a very short period of time.

In recent decades, a number of ancient structures have been discovered in Siberia. Most notably in 2020, when dozens of giant mammoth bone circles were discovered on the west bank of the Don River, about 500 km south of Moscow. These bone circles were pieced together from a large number of mammoth bones.

Researchers estimate that each bone ring would require at least several hundred mammoth bones. These huge ruins are so heavy that a modern crane is needed to transport them. According to radiocarbon dating, these structures date back to about 20,000 years ago.

After carefully studying these bone circles, scholars have come up with the shocking idea that ancient humans hunted hundreds of mammoths and used their remains as building materials. to surround them and form architectural works. Large amounts of charcoal were also found in the center of the bone circles, suggesting that ancient humans used fire for warmth in these bizarre structures and that these bone circles served as shelters. their winter.

Megaliths in Siberia show that they were built by humans during the last Ice Age . The builders may have been a forgotten highly developed civilization. However, when the Ice Age ended, their environment changed dramatically, and like the extinction of the mammoths, they too suffered a devastating blow. Their civilization has disappeared along the long river of history, leaving only a few mysterious relics waiting to be discovered and explained by future generations.
