The Seven Giants of the Urals

By Miss Cellania in Travel & Places on Nov 3, 2009 at 11:50 am


Seven rock formations called Man-Pupu-Nyor (little mountain of the gods) stand in the Komi Republic, a part of the Ural Mountain area of Russia. They range from 30 to 42 meters tall! The pillars formed when erosion washed away the mountain that once surrounded them over a period of 200 million years. Legend says they are evil giants who had a spell cast upon them.

    Lott's wife just turned around and looked back. What the hell did these guys do wrong?
