Chebaki fortress, Bronze Age mountain fortress in Khakassia, Russia
The fortress contains two lines of defensive walls made from sandstone slabs, spanning 210 meters in length around a 160 by 170-meter area.
Archaeological investigations between 1888 and 1997 revealed artifacts from the Okunev culture, indicating human settlement patterns during the Bronze Age period.
The fortress represents one of 45 similar mountain structures in Southern Siberia, demonstrating the architectural methods and defense strategies of ancient societies.
The site stands 4.5 kilometers northeast of Chebaki village on Mount Takh, requiring visitors to arrange transportation and check seasonal accessibility.
Despite its defensive construction, the fortress lacks a permanent water source, leading researchers to consider additional ceremonial or ritual purposes for the structure.
