== [[Film]] ==
* A certain important giant man was found in the Arctic ice in ''[[Transformers (Filmfilm)|Transformers]]''. In ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Film)|Transformers Revenge of the Fallen]]'', {{spoiler|an ancient alien doomsday device}} was located in the pyramids at Giza.
* In ''[[National Treasure (Film)|National Treasure]]'', the treasure hunters found a clue in the Arctic ice. After that, the cast were led up and down the east coast of the United States, stopping at Washington, Philadelphia and finally New York, where the great big treasure was finally found.
* ''[[Troll 2 (Film)|Troll 2]]'' features "The Stonehenge Stone", which apparently has the power to create goblins and to kill people. How exactly a massive rock was transported from Stonehenge to a small church in Midwest America without anyone noticing it missing is never explained.
* ''[[The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (Film)Trilogy|The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor]]'' features Shangri-La with Yetis. Then the Great Wall becomes a bonus Landmark of Lore.
** In the first two movies, Hamunaptra is an in-universe example. Good news: the stories about it being the resting place for the wealth of Egypt are true! Bad news: so is that story about the cursed mummy!
** And at the beginning of the first one, you had '''[[Somewhere This Index Is Crying|Thebes with pyramids]]''', which seemed kinda mystical. [[Hollywood Atlas|Apparently]], [[Real Place Background|Giza and Thebes]] [[Mix-and-Match Critters|were united]] to create a nice [[Landmark of Lore]].

* In an episode of ''[[Centurions (Animation)|Centurions]]'', Stonehenge is the secret burial site of a [[A Wizard Did It|perfectly preserved]] ''Merlin''. (Yes, Merlin). He then wakes up shortly after his discovery to help the Centurions dispatch the [[Monster of the Week|villain of the week]].
