Por-Bajin is one of the most mysterious archaeological sites in Russia - an ancient complex engulfing a small island in the center of a remote lake in the mountains of southern Siberia.
Experts believe the 1,300-year-old structure has more mystical properties and might have been a summer palace, monastery, or even an astronomical observatory.
According to the Siberian Times, archaeologists found clay tablets of human feet, faded coloured drawings on the plaster of the walls, giant gates and fragments of burnt wood. But nothing yet has provided a definitive answer as to who built the structure and why.
