Good job glatt! That was hard. I wonder if I would've found that image using the german word for sickle.

skulptur sichel was the search term that worked for me

well, English wasn't working and sichel by itself wasn't working, but sichel skulptur turned up one image and it said where it was taken.

infinite monkey · 03-13-2012, 11:11 AM

How many times I tried variations with 'sickle sculpture' in the search term.

I went off on a snipe hunt by the sign pointing to "U6 ->" in this photo

glatt · 03-13-2012, 11:41 AM

U6 and smart were both dead ends. Funny how the path to success always looks obvious when you see it laid out for you. Of course! Sickle sculpture in German. I feel dumb that it took me so long.

This one was a difficult one. But a good one.

It's an ancient fortress built 1500 years ago in Siberia

GunMaster357 · 03-13-2012, 04:08 PM

More precisely : Tere-Khol', Tuva, Russia

Por Bajin

Quote:

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.

Quote:

Por-Bajin - stronghold in the Eastern Siberia, built in the VIII century A.D. on an island of lake Tere-Hole. Some consider this stronghold to be a temple and call it 'Russian Shaolin'. Others believe that this construction serves as the northern gates to sacred place Schambala. Por-Bajin is translated form Tuva language as 'clay house'. It's mostly built of clay bricks. The monument has complex structure - inside the regular rectangle of walls there is a whole labyrinth of buildings, which look like as a buddhistic or induistic temple. The walls forms the regular rectangle with side sizes 211x158 metres.

If GunMaster357 and infinite monkey don't mind, I'm going to take another turn.

Have fun...
