I came across this channel after reading about Vottovaara as the site of a massacre of 100 Russian soldiers by an unknown entity during the Russo- Finnish War in 1939-40. The vibe I got from looking at the scenery was similar to NW Canada's Nahanni Valley (Valley of the Headless Men). This Valley is a national park and tourist destination, though difficult to reach. People still occasionally disappear there, and the area has many strange features, some of which are forbidden to tourists. If relations improve between Canada and Russia, perhaps you should do a video!
Nice looking place this Vuottovaara :) Yes I believe places like that should be preserved. In Finland covernment usually atleast understands the value of nature, specially in modern time. You should visit here too if it's sometimes possible 🌹
Beautiful video on a very little known topic. Thanks for sharing it! It was sad to hear what happened and how resigned your guide was about the situation. I think he's right, if the mountain had been on the other side of the border, today it would be a world heritage site under strict protection. Something that stood for millenia destroyed just because some arbitrary lines on a map, drawn basically yesterday, considering the timescale of those megaliths.
I loved this video! So much history & amazing rock formations with lovely scenery! I bet you felt a sense of power when you were there. Thank you so much for making & sharing this with us. Love your videos Ksenia !❤
Great new style of video, love the use of music in this one. You are a great guide, such a pity the site has been wrecked, maybe would have been better cared for if part of Finland I think.
Awesome video Ksenia! I know what it's like to have daylight all night.. I live in Anchorage. It's pretty much light here all night in the summer, although it gets a tiny bit dusky in Anchorage around maybe 2:00 am for a while, but never gets dark. If you're up in Fairbanks or further north, it's just blaring sunshine all night long. Vottovaara Mountain looked like so much fun!! 🤗 Thanks for sharing your trip with us!! 💕
Another terrific vlog, Ksenia! I really appreciate the slow paced and in depth look at where you bring us to see and learn. This and your last video are top notch works. Thank you so much. From New Hampshire, Patricia 👵🏻 🤗
Such well done video. You gave the guide opportunity to share his thoughts in a very natural way. The sceneries were breathtaking. Lot of hard work you put in this video and it came out excellent.
Thank you so much for this beautiful view of a national treasure. It is the place I am highly unlikely to ever see in person and I value such a personal tour with an appreciation of its majesty and magic, what a treat! Thank you ❤
What an interesting trip! Yes it looked different. The grey sky brought a spooky atmosphere. I looked up sieidi on the internet, my first find, wrong spelling Seidi, it was the 896th favourite name in Finland. Not what I as looking for. Yes I think it was of human historical action. I wondered if they could date human activity in the area, like burial sites.
Nice to see/hear from you again Xenia on trips in the blue,❤you look a little tired sweetest Xenia at the beginning of the video, but it also looks beautiful on you to be a little tired on the trip,❤❤❤your voice was absolutely top sweetest Xenia 😊and lovely to see you in full profile by the bonfire and you are well ❤ 💕 warm hugs and thoughts to you Xenia 🤗 ❤❤❤ 🇩🇰❤❤❤
That place is full of mystery. It should be protected and saved for coming generations. I think the man is right, if that place was on the Finnish side it would be a national park and be protected by the state. Very sad that it isn't.
Such a beautiful place😮 i am so sorry that it got destroyed😢 but still very powerful place, thank you so much that you showed this place❤ greetings from Finland❤
What are the feelings or spiritual charge felt when visiting Vottovaara mountain? Many Thanks for your amazing trip and coverage and for the interview. You were right to be skeptical of the explanations for the structures present...they don't look natural at all.
Very nice trip Ksenia! This place is really mysterious indeed as its location and atmosphere has something magical. Such an interesting scenery and a lot of misteries give this place a unique landmark for tourists! Thank you very much. We missed your videos a lot
🤗 🤗 🤗 Good to see you again Ksenia! You're listening skill is wonderful and your eye, (looking through the photography,) reflected the 'feeling' of Vottovaara Mountain. 🤗❣️🌿 Thank you!
Thank you for your video 😊 You can’t even imagine what glaciers and melting water are capable of. I’ve been to various places in Finland, Norway, and the Alps where you can see truly amazing works of nature.
Death Mountain. I just finished watching a story by Wartime Stories here on youtube. Basically he recounts paranormal war stories through the ages. Anyway in the video I just watched he told a story of a hundred Russian soldiers that were massacred by some unknown force on this mountain. The men were ripped apart by something over the course of two days. The natives say Vottavaara is an evil place. Great video. Thank-you.
Good to see you in the country Kseniia ! I liked the sound of the open fire ! I think the balancing rocks were arranged by humans and primitive equipment ! Also you said that humans will destroy the earth.....But I think humans will destroy themselves....first !? Anyway..I like your videos and look forward to seeing them whenever you upload ! Thanks again Kseniia and love from Australia 🦘🇦🇺🌹
So sad that there are destructive idiots all over the world. Imagine how nice things would be without that type of human? Thank you for sharing this lovely remote scenery with us
Suppose you had a mixture of rocks of widely different sizes embedded in sand or fine soil that lay on solid, flat bedrock as shown in the background. Flowing water, perhaps glacial in origin, slowly washes away the soil and small stones, and as it does, the larger rocks settle. Some settle directly on bedrock, but some settle on the medium-sized rocks that we see supporting the sedie. They didn't have to be carried or slid about. Gradual settling out of a mixture is all that is required.
Seida, also known as Sami Seida or Seita, is a sacred place for the North European people, particularly the Saami or Lapps. It can be a special spot in the mountains, tundra, taiga, or any other natural formation such as a stone, stump, lake. The Seida also encompasses artifacts like stone structures. One such Seida can be found on Mount Vottovaara and is comprised of a large boulder resting on three smaller stones, which are placed on top of another large boulder.
Thanks Ksenya for sharing details on Vottovaara. I'm thinking of visiting Karelia this coming summer and this place definitely got my attention. Sometimes I cannot believe how incredibly stupid people can be for destroying such amazing places 💔
Graham Hancock has a theory that there was global flooding during the Younger Dryas period, especially in North America. Randall Carlson theorizes that the floods caused the many strange rock formations in North America. I imagine it could have happened in Russia and Europe as well. Love your videos by the way!
Good music by the way. And a totem pole. Maybe when I was younger someone told me what those were for. I think people should have told me a lot of things when I was four. I remember driving my mother crazy asking why. Every time she would answer I would just say why again. Maybe we are supposed to learn lots of things when we are four. But I guess not in a structured way like in school. When it was time for me to go to school I could have gone when I was five or when I was six. My parents had a choice and they chose six. And then afterwards I played school with my little brother and my phonics book and he learned how to read when he was two. That was an accident. But it probably turned out to be a good thing. Maybe.
Amazing video. Thanks so much for sharing. Very entertaining and educational. I would have thought that a government that keeps claiming that it is so very interested in the history of its nation and its people would have spent some energy (money, time, resources) on the preservation of such places and on research into their past. However, it seems that it is just words trying to distract from the real interest of the people in power.... Sadness. It is much the same in every country in the world. Enough said. Again, thanks so much for documenting such a wonderous place. I am inclined to agree with you that, if the Seidis were arranged in circles and squares, surely at least many of them were made by people - perhaps with the help of the glaciers (e.g. people saw what the glacier had done and then used it's physics to make more in certain arrangements by placing supporting small rocks under existing boulders that were still "floating" on top of the glacial ice or some such). We give ancient people very little credit for their ingenuity, forgetting that they had the same brain as us and that "we stand on the shoulders of giants" who came before us. Please keep up the great series. It saddens me that Putler's invasion of Ukraine now prevents me and others like me from visiting such a great and interesting land with such diverse and interesting peoples until after he and his ilk are gone, freeing Russia and the Russian people from their brutal and corrupt regime. Slava Ukraini 💙💛
Haven't you heard...Russian are just Finno-gric mongrels who for some reason adopted a Slavic language. All the Visegrad and NAFO types tell me so. Whereas the Ukrainians are true Arya..I mean Slavs.
Wow you always suprise me on your wonderful adventures...who formed the rocks this way certainly is a mystery just like the prymids to get them in perfect form ...that what makes these sort f discoveries such a wonders and need to be persevered
WOW Pretty scenery . Great interview ! Megalith rock like we have in other parts of the world ! It would be nice to know how perfectly it was cut and assembled ! Thanks, love the video !
What a great video! I feel bad for these kind of places, when they get commercial and people don`t respect the environment. Those rock formations are such an unique and we´ll probably never know how they are born. In eastern Finland we don´t have that kind of sacred places remain by Sami people. Very fascinating place.
Rocks similar in Ireland. A guy carried out extensive archeological architecture over a mountain that is now forested but there were several ancient rocks spread out in lines. At the time he showed us student cavers that were in the area and gave up his time for free. It was 20 years later before the whole thing got more public awareness and a center opened. It is a geological area of interest and the ancient world would have realized this. He said that they cracked rocks to release their spirit and to form them in lines to the sun and moon. The man in your video is about his age now. It seems he might not see this area protected but in time it will.
If that reserve was in the United States, vandals would try to knock the large stones off of the 3 smaller ones. And, a few boys would get crushed while doing this. 😢
Fascinating place! It is tragic that so many seidis have been destroyed by human hands and equally shocking that the authorities are uninterested in preserving this place for study!
The midnight sun is amazing in the north. It is a bit difficult to sleep if you are not used to living so far north. A very interesting place I would like to see with my own eyes, but it needs to be preserved in the form it is now.
what you see ther THOSE trees exactly in a area i lived in from 2005 to 2018 in europe somewhere.. Very haunted place. lots of bad spritis. had severe problems in the house too with hauntings. glad I dont life there anymore felt a huge pressure off when i left. even saw spirits in the forest there and weird noises.., even crys and weird factory noises. when nobody
The nature looks much like a mountain in Southern New Hampshire USA called Mount Monadnock. So sad that fools would damage the monoliths. Thanks for the Trip. How would people that believe the earth is flat explain the night?
Tourism is to forsake all covenants on the feature and encourage as many unknown people as can find thier way by & by the attraction (the feature). Governments encourage tourism when the location has become a financial waste. When economy of a nation crumbles they begin to market the greatness of the location mercilessly and with exaggeration to retain the coffers balance. Terrified from using Vottovaara for anything else, if tourists die it is not because they were endangered by the government. It is because they were foolish to venture unprepared. By weight of numbers it will be changed or understood eventually. Governance is for your future not your past. It is also for prosperity, not preservation!
Btw if someone would have a space ship... does someone seriously think that it would use tiny rocks to coordinate while travelling on the space. Like what the... :)
Oh! Koralia. I don't think I spelled that right but that's what Google thinks. I thought you said Korea. Yeah I think I figured out an e is supposed to go in there. Oh well. I was having a hard time trying to figure out how you could take a train to Korea. No one would want to go to North Korea and you really can't go to South Korea without going through the north at least not from where you are.
Why does America keep expanding, with states like Hawaii or Puerto Rico (I know it’s not a state yet) when huge states like Wyoming have such low population? Plenty of space there too. The same goes for China and places like Mongolia.
@@gregm.mcmillan2371 Thanks☺️ I was trying to explain the OP that most modern empires are into land grabbing although they have more than enough. No shade to Wyoming, people seem lovely but I was right about the land I think, it’s a huge mass of land very scarcely populated. Also, hello again!
18:23 A statue to Perun (a Slavic pre-Christian god) in a place that had no Slavic population before the Soviet era Russification... Btw, the same god was Perkunas for the Baltic tribes, and went into Finnish language as PERKELE. In that context it is a statue of Satan.
Great video..thanks.. but isn’t it silly how science never wants to believe anything beyond nature and man exists..they see the universe with eyes closed and that is the opposite of what science is supposed to be about
Dear Ksenia, according to Danish media, the Russian politicians should be discussing right now if RUclips should be blocked for Russians. A leading voice should be Anton Gorelkin of the State Duma. Maybe you should take some precautions, if possible. E.g. other platforms/VPN. Take care.
Thanks Ksenia for interesting Sadly there are people who destroy signs of old cultures that are not theirs. Like islamists did in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. In Sweden and Finland there several places ending with vaara. Some of the locals there are Sapmi. I guess there are no Sapmi near Vottovaara? At least they kept the name and didn't Russify it. Also greed destroy beautiful places. Laws are bypassed with corruption so money can be made on the expense of nature and old heritage. Who were the partisans he was looking for? Karelian or Soviet?
If they were constructed, it was done by people. Ancient Mayan ruins all throughout Central and South America - far more elaborate and impressive. Pyramids in Egypt are built on true north, people think aliens built them🤣
I wonder why Sami people weren’t involved at least by the guy who discovered the place. There should’ve been some apecialists in Sami archaeology there to catalogue the megaliths and this ethnic minority should’ve been involved in the tourism. Maybe well intended but Idk if a random guy, who is clearly not Sami and who doesn’t have any qualifications, should be allowed to do this kind of research or create projects for the conservation specialists or the authorities. The ppace should be searched by professionals and there should be a research facility on the mountain. The music is well chosen, very fitting. PS Sorry if it sounds like a rant about your tour guide but I’m an archaeologist by profession and it makes my blood boil when I see amateurs searching for “partisan remains”, coins or whatever else in historical sites. Of course the authorities don’t take him seriously, they are most likely incompetent as well, but even if they weren’t, why would they accept suggestions about restoration projects and tourism from a guy who’s treasure hunting and organizing tours himself. PPS The passport control is most likely needed, I don’t think it’s just Russia being crazy, Finnish border is EU border, they wouldn’t want Russian citizens illegally crossing it either.
Throughout the western world there are amateurs hunting treasure and artifacts. So much so that in the US metal detectors are sold in sporting good stores and I know for a fact that there are amatuer treasure hunters in Britain. Your last sentence sort of gives away the reason for your anger.
for @minime7375. No one of any merit is doing this work. Who has rights over history, even the long gone past that we glorify? He is entitled to share his opinion and free to profit from his own endeavour and interests, just as you can sensitively question point to it and question.
@@mitchyoung93 I don’t understand what you mean by “reason for my anger” but the fact that it happens everywhere doesn’t change the fact that historical sites shouldn’t be investigated by randoms, with or without metal detectors.
@@expatexpat6531 yeah, I forgot about that, I only thought of the fact that Russians need visas to enter EU countries (I think that was always the case) so I imagine people would try.
Lets put some logic ice glacier smelting cant put 500 huge stones on top on 3 small rocks for each of these huge rocks it should be giants or atleast sasquatch/Bigfoot or Yeti certainly not humans or ice glaciers.
Thank you for traveling the extra mile to share this gorgeous view with us, Ksenia.
Wow, very interesting! Thank you for sharing this adventure:) Hugs and kisses from Minnesota😘

Graham Hancock has a theory that there was global flooding during the Younger Dryas period, especially in North America. Randall Carlson theorizes that the floods caused the many strange rock formations in North America. I imagine it could have happened in Russia and Europe as well. Love your videos by the way!

And a totem pole. Maybe when I was younger someone told me what those were for. I think people should have told me a lot of things when I was four. I remember driving my mother crazy asking why.

Vaara means, more, high hill, not mountain. Finland you can find mountains, only lapland. And these are small mountains. Name is tunturi.
There are also petroglyphs in the area

Some of the locals there are Sapmi. I guess there are no Sapmi near Vottovaara? At least they kept the name and didn't Russify it.
Also greed destroy beautiful places. Laws are bypassed with corruption so money can be made on the expense of nature and old heritage.
Who were the partisans he was looking for? Karelian or Soviet?
He's right. Had that area belonged to Finland it would have been protected.
I don't get it. Why do people have to need to destroy these artifacts? Like hundreds of them.
That place has evil vibes. Don't stay too long over there...
India 🇮🇳 ❤️ 🇷🇺
If they were constructed, it was done by people. Ancient Mayan ruins all throughout Central and South America - far more elaborate and impressive. Pyramids in Egypt are built on true north, people think aliens built them🤣
I wonder why Sami people weren’t involved at least by the guy who discovered the place. There should’ve been some apecialists in Sami archaeology there to catalogue the megaliths and this ethnic minority should’ve been involved in the tourism. Maybe well intended but Idk if a random guy, who is clearly not Sami and who doesn’t have any qualifications, should be allowed to do this kind of research or create projects for the conservation specialists or the authorities. The ppace should be searched by professionals and there should be a research facility on the mountain.
The music is well chosen, very fitting.
PS Sorry if it sounds like a rant about your tour guide but I’m an archaeologist by profession and it makes my blood boil when I see amateurs searching for “partisan remains”, coins or whatever else in historical sites. Of course the authorities don’t take him seriously, they are most likely incompetent as well, but even if they weren’t, why would they accept suggestions about restoration projects and tourism from a guy who’s treasure hunting and organizing tours himself.
PPS The passport control is most likely needed, I don’t think it’s just Russia being crazy, Finnish border is EU border, they wouldn’t want Russian citizens illegally crossing it either.
Throughout the western world there are amateurs hunting treasure and artifacts. So much so that in the US metal detectors are sold in sporting good stores and I know for a fact that there are amatuer treasure hunters in Britain. Your last sentence sort of gives away the reason for your anger.
for @minime7375. No one of any merit is doing this work. Who has rights over history, even the long gone past that we glorify? He is entitled to share his opinion and free to profit from his own endeavour and interests, just as you can sensitively question point to it and question.
The Finnish border is now also the NATO border.
@@mitchyoung93 I don’t understand what you mean by “reason for my anger” but the fact that it happens everywhere doesn’t change the fact that historical sites shouldn’t be investigated by randoms, with or without metal detectors.
@@expatexpat6531 yeah, I forgot about that, I only thought of the fact that Russians need visas to enter EU countries (I think that was always the case) so I imagine people would try.
Is school education free in Russia?
Yes. Universities aren't.
Basically stolen from my Finnish friends and good neighbors. Its a shame.
