Their faces were distorted with horror...According to the stories, as he recalled, there were such megaliths and pyramids on Novaya Zemlya that the Egyptian ones could not be even compared, everything was so large-scale, but with the arrival of Khrushchev... They often frolic on sandy shores, dive underground, from underground to the surface, then again underground...'

Paul Stonehill | Myserious Well in the Ancient Abandoned Crimean Fortress | June 25, 2025

Description:

The mysterious siege well discovered in 1998 at Chufut Kale, an ancient cave city in Crimea, located on a 580-meter plateau. Excavations by archaeologists and speleologists revealed a 50-meter deep well with a 120-meter stone gallery, a 30-meter spiral staircase, and a platform with an altar and fountains.

Historical records, including an 18th-century French traveler’s account, mention the well, whose location was lost until its rediscovery. The fortress, known as Kirk-Or ("40 fortresses") or Chufut Kale ("Jewish fortress"), was a key center for the Crimean Karaites, a Turkic-Jewish group, and served as a residence for Crimean Khans from the 15th to 16th centuries.

The city, inhabited since the 6th century by various ethnic groups like Alans and Karaites, was abandoned by the late 19th century. The well, possibly a sacred site rather than a practical water source, contained inscriptions in Latin, Aramaic, and proto-runes, and a treasure of gold and silver coins.

The site, blending natural caves and man-made structures, remains a tourist attraction, though its future archaeological exploration is uncertain due to political changes in Crimea.

Paul Stonehill | Vera Island Megaliths: Ancient Mysteries of the Urals | June 27, 2025

Description:

Explore the enigmatic megalithic structures of Vera Island, located in Lake Turayaka in the South Urals, Russia. Discovered in 2004, these structures, estimated to be 6,000–8,000 years old, include stone dolmens, burial structures, and megaliths weighing up to 17 tons, with some exceeding 100 tons in total. Key findings include Megalith Number One, a well-preserved temple-like structure with chambers and animal sculptures, oriented west-east, and other megaliths with precise stonework and astronomical alignments.

The island, spanning 6.5 hectares, also features underground passages, a quarry with evidence of copper tools and wooden wedges, and ritual sites like fireplaces and altars. These discoveries suggest advanced Neolithic engineering and possible cultural ties to sites like Stonehenge and Mediterranean dolmens.

Ongoing research since 2004, supported by a 2024 federal budget of 12 million rubles, highlights the site’s significance. Unanswered questions include the builders’ identity, their tools, and the structures’ purpose. Vera Island, accessible by boat from May to October, attracts tourists seeking its serene energy and historical mysteries.
