Por-Bajin - stronghold in Eastern Siberia, built in the 8th cent BC. 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. (Text slightly modified from the original Russian post by RWFG) 

Por-Bajin is translated form Tuva language as 'clay house'. It's mostly built of unfired clay bricks. The monument has a complex structure - inside a regular rectangle of walls there is a whole labyrinth of buildings, which look like as a buddhist (or Chinese, RWFG) temple. The walls form a regular rectangle with side sizes 211x158 meters. 

In 2007 an archeological expedition will search for clues to the latest archeological find of a tall Europeoid skeleton (height of 1,85 meter)
