Lake Taupo is located in the very center of New Zealand's North Island, and around the lake there are wild forests - the Kaimanawa Forest Reserve.
Lake Taupo was formed on the site of a giant volcano crater. In the 1990s, thirty kilometers from this lake, the mysterious ruins of a giant structure were discovered in the forest.
The rains eroded the soil and a part of the wall became visible, composed of rectangular stone blocks, each of which is about a meter high and about two meters long.
The weight of the blocks from which the wall is built reaches several tons. The blocks fit together with incredible precision. You can't even stick a knife blade between them.
Researchers believe that the visible part of the wall is part of a larger structure buried under the volcanic ash of the volcano.

According to archaeologists, the wall was built about two thousand years ago. Who built it - the Maori? Not. The Maori never built such structures.
It turns out that New Zealand was already inhabited by a mysterious people before the arrival of the Maori people. Archaeologist Doug Sutton has researched and proven that, based on abundant evidence of ancient forest fires and inexplicable soil erosion, human activity in New Zealand began 2,000 years ago.
In 1997, a stone statue of a woman 2.7 meters high was found near Northland, possibly the goddess of an unknown people who inhabited New Zealand before the arrival of the Maori.
What kind of people were they who two thousand years ago created cyclopean structures and statues of their gods - there is no answer to this question and official science is in no hurry to provide the public.
Interestingly, excavations were officially carried out in the Waipua forest, and they were carried out constantly over the past thirty years, but what is surprising is that in 1988 the New Zealand government by a special decree classified all the results of these excavations for 75 years.
