  • Chelyabinsk Oblast

    Arkaim

    Found by accident in 1987 during a dam survey, this circular Bronze Age fortress in the Ural steppe was built with gates and doorways researchers say align to eighteen solar and lunar events, a claim, if accurate, of more precise astronomical design than Stonehenge.

  • Sverdlovsk Oblast

    Dyatlov Pass Incident

    Nine hikers led by Igor Dyatlov died in the northern Urals in February 1959; searchers found their tent cut open from the inside and footprints leading downhill in socks or bare feet. Two had chest fractures and skull damage that a Soviet investigator likened to a car crash, with no external wounds.
