An Ancient Fortress on the Island
Deep inside Siberia there is a lake, one of thousands others. And in the middle of this lake there is a small island. And on this island people have found an ancient fortress, which is dated more than 1500 years old. Excavations are needed in order to reveal all its view for visitors, but even now from the air its a nice site in different times of the year. First part of photos were made during short Siberian summer:
And here are the photos from the winter:
And these photos were made in April. In April in Siberia there is still a lot of snow, but ice on some lakes already melted.

That should be preserved as a UNESCO National historic site
This is so computer made… CGI for sure !
you smoke crack n smack
dude you are a freak - look at the pics CGI??? You idiot.
has it been recently discovered?;
just found this recently, you got to be kidding!!??!! WTF!
That was built by aliens!
It was built by Ukranians. Ukranian scientists have proven this.
Ukranian’s in Siberia? Sounds unlikely.
Ukrainians can be found in any Russian region just like Tatars and Belarussians. Might not be many of them, but they are there
But isn’t that a result of the USSR consolidation? Were Ukranians there 1500 years ago when this fortress was built?
Ukraine means borderland, so if ‘borderpeople’ lived there, maybye yes. But at that time there were not even Rusyns (7 Slav tribes that created ‘Ukrainians’), even not in what is now called Ukraine.
yeah, but if ‘borderpeople’ bang your mom they’d have half ukranian and half retarded b!tch babies n ukraine may have never been founded
doodlefaqer : your a stupid moron and your mother hates you because your so dumb!. I bet when you take a shit you wipe with your hand forgetting to grab a toilet paper. Grow some balls then talk and your the retarded one.
Moreover u can find sceletons of people of negroid physical type in some Siberian caves… true - a scientific fact… And Ukranians are eager to prove that their culture is even elder than slavonic one… they couldn’t prove it (about the fortress), this is a pseudo-scientific idea. All materials are not really published yet - so there are no any theories about the fortress.
Why? They also built Stonehenge.
no way. Its built by the Kazachs. Kazach scientists proved it.
where in Siberia is this? longitude/latitude? or near any famous mountains, lakes, maybe near Baikal? (i want to find it on Google Earth).
thats so funny my google earth is open n thats what im lookin for too crazy shit huh

That’s pretty amazing. I imagine they built it up piece by piece during the winter time then each summer they’d bunker down. I wonder why they wanted to be there to begin with…
for an ancient structure it’s very uniform in size and straight lines. quite unusual hmm it almost looks like a monastary
Or maybe they’re abandoned GULAG facilities. Who knows…
That’s actually quite untrue — as an easy example, see the pyramids of Giza. Built nearly 3000 years before this structure, and near perfect in their geometry. In 500 AD, quite a few civilizations were advanced enough to build in straight lines.
I agree. Building in straight lines is easy. al you need is three guys and two sticks.

thanks. Apparently it was built by ancient Tuvans (or Uyghurs, a Turkic people) near Mongolian border west of Baikal, in approximately the year 800 AD.

Thanks for the Google Earth link.
Looks like they had homes with sturdy foundations, with some kind of temple in the center. Judging by the location.. it was probably built by mongols.
it looks very “chinese” to me
forbidden city for example

What? A rectangular wall with structers lining it and a large building in the middle? Sounds your basic european castle to me.. or any castle for that matter.
I guess the Europeans kicked you in the nuts
Yes, and they had fertile soil to grow rice and make egg rolls.
The latest remarkable and rather mysterious archeological finding in this area is the skeleton of europeoid race with height of 1,85 meter. It’s very strange how could the person of these race type appeared in the Eastern Siberia…
Haven’t you watched Conan the barbarian?
This is Amazing ! Why a fortress in an Island like that ?
Was it possibly a prison ???

leper colony?
I wonder if the water level used to be lower, making this bunker more effective all year.
I’d say having a giant lake acting as a moat for the better part of the year is pretty effective.
Having a giant lake as a moat to protect your fortress seems pretty effective to me.
Except when it’s a frozen bridge.
Anybody spot Lara Croft driving a team of huskies to the site?
The ring was kept there. Some guards tried to wear the ring and within a week they killed each other. The ring is missing.
The size of the ‘fortress’ is more like a large house or lodge (ref helicopter and people and trees) - it wouldn’t support much of an army. Temple or trading post are more likely.
It’s about the same climate (based on a quick look at one of the above map links) of Minnesota/Lake Suprerior in the US or probably very Northern Germany in Europe (but without the warm Atlantic coastal effects). Not a lot of farming would be going on around there - probably trappers and hunters and (ice) fishing.
Notes said clay bricks - so no building in the winter as commented - had to be all done in the summer - but the lake shore would provide a lot of clay to work with.
You are an idiot trying to pass yourself off as intelligent. Siberia has a much much more drastic climate and colder climate than Lake Superior. Hell, even Lake Manitoba and Lake Winnipeg are much worse.
So do not come here and say “based on a quick look at one of the above map links” then make some generalized comment. This place does not even have close to the same climate as Lake Superior.
Siberia is far colder than Lake Superior and Minnesota. Siberia is colder than Manitoba and Manitoba is colder than Minnesota - so your supposed intelligent “quick glances” are completely erroneous.
Actually Mr. Smarty pants, Tower MN recorded a record low of -60F back in 1996. The record low in Siberia happens to be -90F, but that is in the most northern location where people don’t live. People DO live in Tower though.
the ridiculousness of the internet never fails to amaze me– here we have two people bragging about who’s land is colder– this is like arguing about “their manhood”, except in this case it’s like they are bragging “mine’s SMALLER!”
who really cares?
There are no people or helicopters to reference in comparison to the structure. The only picture showing anything remotely like a helicopter is the shadow of one, but we don’t know the altitude it’s flying or the angle of the sun at the time, so that’s pretty meaningless.
We can reference the people on the bridge, and find that 2 people can walk side by side making the bride something like 3 ft wide, probably.
We can then look at the bridge compared to about half a wall and say that half a wall is about 60 feet. That’s half a wall. Even if that were the full wall, this is still larger than some of the smaller US frontier Forts.
This is no hut.
If the information in the google maps link given earlier is accurate (”The walls forms the regular rectangle with side sizes 211×158 metres”) then this is too large to be considered a house or lodge.
Looks remarkably like a system of salt pans, but I guess if its a freshwater lake that’s not too likely.
Perhaps it was built by curry Indians using filthy Paki labor. Hehehe, that was a joke brought to you by none other than Internet Sanjay.

Most of these comments are bollocks. This is obviously an alien landing site of some importance. Look closely at the square tracks inside the citadel and you will agree that these are the impressions of large space faring craft. They landed here to take on water and to filch humans for disection. Nothing more, nothing less - lets us not complicate the simple.
Photograph #7 looks like there is a shadow of an MI8 helicopter.
no wai

Could you guys fail any fucking harder?
Fail any harder? Come on, The comment by Seer-jay: is funny shit. The comment by Sarah Asimov: ummmmm, yep it’s a helicopter, good job. However this Sanjay guy, well you said it.
Quit feeding the trolls, failure.
You are all wrong. This looks like part of the lost city of Atlantis.
They’re back! I think you may be wrong though. That is Pacificantis not Atlantis.
Amazing how similar these photos look to similar topology of excavations found in Labrador , Newfoundland
It was built by a conglomeration of Ukrainians and Nordic aliens. They hired some of the local Serbs and Mongols/Turks etc to do most of the work but they brought elephants from Thailand via saucer to pull the large stones. If you look closely you can see remnants of the laser cannon emplacements, opium dens and video game parlors which are typical in these types of forts. It was more of a beer hall than a fortress anyway.
this from World Of Warcraft , north lands …

What an amazing structure, due to it’s location. Their would have to be some strong motivation to build in such a position of innate hardship. A desire to be isolated. Most likely either as a Grand Residence requiring defenses. Or as a religious sanctuary/temple/monastery. Either way it would have require great resources to build, maintain and even meet basic survival needs. Such a crazy concept that I’m betting on the later.
This looks like hibernation place. Somebody use to hibernate at this place. How is this thing placed? Towards east, west? Main entrance looks towards ….?
Humans generally remain active during the winter, unless you are suggesting this was built by bears.
IT PUTS THE LOTION ON IT’S SKIN! IT DOES
WHAT IT’S TOLD OR IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!
This is brilliant! The fact that this has only been discovered is, in essence, quite believable seeing as certain parts are Siberia are quite remote? I don’t know, seems kind of likely!
latitude: 50º36′53.80″N, longitude: 97°23′6.54″E
Can see the square obviously human construct.
Learned about these kinds of things has always intrigued me, I wonder what more mysteries our world holds.
you’re gay
I figured it was were they sent the 1980 olympic hockey team……
Maybe it’s the remains of the first doomsday seed vault…
there are so many siberian parts that no body havent bean there maby they will fiend somthing new else…

Looks to be posibly Roman. About the time and style of the Ruins Of Hadrians Wall.
I keep coming back to look at these pictures. amazing. Gonna have to visit one day but it doesn’t look like an easy place to get to.

I am looking for a professional sports betting service and can’t make up my mind. There are so many services to choose from. I am kind of leaning towards this guy after checking out his video on sports picks. He claims a 97% success rate which I find hard to believe, I would be happy with a 60% success rate. Anyway, it’s backed by a clickbank guarantee. I have bought products through clickbank before and I can trust them. I was just wondering what other people thought about these kinds of products?
