Adding to mounting evidence suggesting that megalithic sites around the world are much older than traditionally believed, a discovery in the remote Shoria Mountains of southern Siberia has challenged our understanding of ancient human history. Hidden for thousands of years, this site offers clues that civilizations far older than recorded history once existed.
In the wild, unspoiled expanse of the Shoria Mountains, a remote region far from modern civilization, researchers stumbled upon a mysterious discovery: enormous stone blocks of granite, precisely cut and arranged in ways that defy natural geological processes.
These are not simple rock formations formed by nature. The stones are separated from the surrounding terrain, have a uniform shape, with flat sides and 90 degree angles. Some are even stacked, forming what can only be interpreted as structures.

In recent years, this obscure corner of Russia has attracted attention because of these enormous rocks. Some are singular; others are stacked on top of each other, indicating the remains of an ancient and sophisticated civilization.
Geological mapping of ridges and the summit of Mount Kuylyum by geologists, carried out in the late 1990s, identified these rock formations as bare prepared ridges, which are ridges created by the natural and differential erosion of local rock. But not everyone agrees.
In 2013, a team of 19 researchers started under the leadership of Georgi Sidorovembark on an expedition to explore this enigmatic region. Their destination was Gornaya Shoria, a mountain rising 1,000 meters above sea level in a remote part of southern Siberia.
Intrigued by reports of strange megalithic structures, the team ventured into the remote wilderness. What they found was nothing short of extraordinary: massive, precision-cut stones that appeared to be evidence of an ancient civilization that was much older than previously thought.
The blocks they uncovered were unlike anything we had ever seen before: super-megaliths estimated to be about 100,000 years old. These stones, composed of granite, had flat surfaces, sharp right angles and precise geometric shapes, properties that are difficult to explain through natural processes.
The most astonishing detail was their size: some stones weighed more than 3,000 tons, making them the largest megaliths ever discovered. They were carefully stacked on top of each other, reaching a height of 40 meters, and appeared to be deliberately arranged.
This raises profound questions: how could such massive stones be quarried, transported and assembled in this remote, rugged landscape? Could they be remnants of a technologically advanced civilization long forgotten?
Although some geologists suggest that the stones may be natural formations, the visual evidence strongly supports the idea that they are man-made. The precision with which these gigantic stones were shaped and stacked indicates the use of advanced technology, especially considering the hardness of granite.
Georgy Sidorov himself theorized that a huge structure once stood there, possibly a large building constructed from these megalithic blocks. Over time, it may have been destroyed by a catastrophic event, such as a massive explosion or seismic activity.
The team found evidence of high heat, including burned rocks and parts of walls thrown more than 500 meters from their original positions.
Some rocks in the area also showed negative magnetic fields, causing compass needles to point away from the rocks, a phenomenon that defies conventional explanation.
This discovery adds to a growing list of megalithic sites in Russia and the former Soviet Union. Neglected for centuries, these ruins have only received attention in recent decades. sha
Other sites around the world, such as the Bosnian pyramids (thought to be about 30,000 years old) and the ancient pyramids of China, provide further evidence of a lost global civilization.
One of the most remarkable findings at Gornaya Shoria was a deep, narrow vertical shaft discovered during the expedition. The shaft, lined with parallel stone slabs, appeared man-made and the walls were polished and straight.
The shaft descended approximately 40 meters before opening into a huge underground hall 35 meters high, with megalithic blocks carefully arranged with minimal gaps. Some of these stones even resembled columns, reinforcing the idea that this was a deliberately designed structure.
The total length of the shaft exceeded 100 meters and the precision of its construction reflected the advanced techniques seen at other ancient sites such as the Great Pyramid of Giza.
There is plenty of speculation about the original purpose of the shaft. Some researchers suggest it may have had an advanced technological function, possibly as part of a larger, undiscovered structure.
Others theorize that it was part of an old factory, a seismological device, or even an energy generator. The precision with which the enormous 200-ton stone blocks were assembled underground raises even more questions about the technology that might have been available to these ancient people.
As researchers continue to investigate, the mystery continues to deepen. Could these structures be part of a lost pyramid that once stood on the mountain’s surface? What ancient forces or forgotten civilizations have left their mark on this remote corner of the world?
Since Gornaya Shoria was discovered not so long ago, we still have limited information about the site. However, the available evidence points to an ancient and technologically advanced civilization that predates recorded history.
Russia faces significant corruption, affecting several sectors, including science. Due to limited access to research grants and funding, many scientists have difficulty investigating ancient structures such as those at Gornaya Shoria.
This lack of resources fuels uncertainty about whether these megalithic formations are man-made or natural. The inability to conduct thorough research raises intriguing questions about their true origins and whether they represent a lost civilization or unique geological features.
