The Kali Meteor Crater is the site of another giant meteorite impact that occurred in a densely populated area. The landscape left by the collision in its wake has been the subject of many mythical tales and may have been the home of a mysterious ancient cult. About 7,500 years ago, a huge boulder spurted out of space towards Earth and several kilometers above the Earth’s surface. The meteorite broke into pieces due to the pressure and heat of the atmosphere. The resulting pieces then hit Saaremaa with the force of a small nuclear bomb, wreaking havoc on the landscape and possibly killing many victims.
