The Bermuda Triangle’s cousin: the Nazca of Kazakhstan

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

In 2007 a Kazakh economist scanning satellite imagery of the northern steppe found enormous geometric earthworks, squares, crosses, rings and a swastika-like figure, some hundreds of metres across, built of low mounds and only visible from the air. Archaeologists have since dated some of the Turgai geoglyphs to around eight thousand years ago, older than the Nasca lines, and nobody knows what they were for. Real, recent, and genuinely unexplained.

The ground it haunts

The Turgai steppe (Kazakhstan). Source: Real geoglyphs found by satellite in 2007, purpose unknown. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
