Back in 1976 the Soviet archeologists stumbled through mysterious structure in the middle of the Siberian wild area - two parallel rows about 34 bones of a bowhead whale struck a blow during snow, forming ancient, painful pass.

Located on the tiny island I called the Yttygran Island in the Bering Sea, only 82 km at the coast of Alaska, the lane 550 meters of pieces long of bones along the coast, having made for room his name - Kostya Keith Lane. 

The place is cleaned from 600-year bones of a jaw and an edge of a whale that the tower about five meters in height and weighs 300 kg everyone. Kostya get stuck to the earth and are supported by rocks, and archeologists believe that down the middle of Kostya Keith Lane was the huge skulls and square holes containing meat tons once.

Nearly 40 years later after it at first was revealed, scientists are still not sure who constructed mysterious structure and why, but as the Express reports, the place became something like an archaeological tourist attraction now. It is a little more terrible answer of Siberia to Stonehenge or Pyramids.

The leading theory is that Kostya Keith Lane was a shrine and the sacred meeting place created by the local Inuits famous as Yupik which hunted whales for food once. It is considered that it was constructed around the 14th century, during temporary Ice Age which ended in the long winter and the shortage of food.

Archeologists believe that this shortage of food, perhaps, led to the conflicts between Inuit tribes, and Kostya Keith Lane, perhaps, was one neutral place, they could unite to discuss their problems, to take part in sacrificial offers and to save their meat in square holes which once existed between bone walls.

However people of Yupik in the region believe that the place was just collective center of a slaughterhouse and storage of whale meat.

While further investigation continues in what precisely, the purpose was, Kostya Keith Lane - now the place listed by the world heritage, and it pulls the growing number of the western visitors.

"It is the same type of a historical treasure and means the same for history of the Northeast of Eurasia as Stonehenge or Pyramids of Egypt", the owner of travel agency and photographer Evgeny Basov in the blog after visit in 2013 wrote.

"And just as they, better known, Kostya Keith Lane of monuments brings up more questions, than answers.

It seems that there is something about a good archaeological secret to which we can't just resist - and when that secret includes the high bones which stuck into the earth it is good even better.
