As far as humanity knows, Venus has an extremely harsh natural environment. Its surface temperature reaches up to 500°C, with over 90% of its atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide, frequent corrosive acid rain, and violent heat storms stronger than a category 12 hurricane on Earth. The thick cloud cover on Venus makes it difficult for probes to capture a clear image of the planet, and it wasn't until the 1980s that American probes first photographed the numerous ruins on its surface.
These ruins are pyramid-shaped, resembling triangular cones, with a total of 20,000 structures scattered across Venus. They are arranged in a unique wagon wheel formation, with a metropolis at the center and radiating roads connecting the surrounding towns. Researchers speculate that these pyramid-like cities could effectively shield against extreme weather conditions. Soviet scientist Nikolai Ribinchikov first announced this discovery in 1989, drawing significant attention from the scientific community.
Initially, there were doubts that these ruins could be attributed to probe malfunctions or atmospheric interference. However, further research confirmed that these are indeed remnants of an ancient civilization, believed to have been constructed by some form of intelligent life. These cities have either collapsed or are on the verge of collapse, indicating that the civilization has long since vanished. Soviet scientist Alexei Puskov further noted that similar 'face stones' like those found on Mars have also been discovered on Venus, suggesting that the planet may have once experienced a catastrophic event in its civilization.
