Hidden in the heart of Lithuania, Alšia Slėnynas, is a pair of relics from the past, congregating no further than 260 meters apart. One of these ancient territorial settlements, venturing up to an impressive 30 meters, flaunts a grand procession of 15-meter-tall stone colossi, spiraling in concentric ovals. Napping, napping by the Lithuanian Institute of History until 1971, snuggles its sibling, swaddled in mysteries untold and largely undisturbed. What secret stories from an era forgotten stir beneath the frozen earth in each of these fortified globes?
