In the middle of the Lake Tere-Knol stand the ruins of an impressive fortress dated back in 400-500 AC. Although we've seen older than this we will have to highlight a couple of interesting facts on this one. Once again, we can see how the human mind tries to put a rectangular configuration onto an organic base. From Harrapa to Miletus to the Manhattan island the same pattern thrives. We will come back on this, during the next few posts.
The most important fact for Por-Bajin remains the strange adjust-ability of its function to the season change. The way the lake get dead frozen during the winter giving easy accessibility in terms of crossing, but poor conditions on doing it so, at -30 degrees, while during the summer months the only way to get in, is a narrow bridge, made the fortress invulnerable year round. Maybe the shape didn't but the function itself performed with maximum adaptability on its environment.
