Arkaim: Stonehenge of Russia and its untold secrets

Near the Ural Mountains in Russia, there is a prehistoric archaeological site that dates back to the 17th century BC. The site, popularly known as Arkaim, is a huge circular settlement with a diameter of 500 feet (150 meters). It has a central square area with two circular walls around which were living quarters. No one knows why the inhabitants burnt the whole place down and abandoned it, as no human remains were found. It is also strange that no other construction could be found in its vicinity.
