Mystical places of the Caucasus story about them. The most beautiful places in the North Caucasus
It is no coincidence that the North Caucasus is one of the favorite destinations for domestic tourism in Russia. Here, in an amazing way, various vegetable world, magnificent landscapes, fast rivers and high mountains, semi-desert and healing mineral springs, architectural monuments and delicious food. Be sure to visit this wonderful land. At least virtually.
Elbrus
The highest point in Russia is rightfully considered one of the seven wonders of our country. The mountain is a cone extinct volcano, which erupted for the last time at the beginning of our era.
It was here, according to legend, that the titan Prometheus was chained in chains for daring to bring fire to people. In the powerful glaciers of Elbrus, the Kyukurtlyu, Ullu-Khurzuk, Ullu-Kam rivers originate, which, merging, form the Kuban - the most big river in the North Caucasus.
In the depths of Elbrus, there are still hot masses that heat the local "hot narzans" - springs saturated with mineral salts and carbon dioxide, the temperature of which reaches +52 and +60 ºС.
Tobot waterfall
An unforgettable view opens up to travelers: a flat plateau suddenly breaks off, as if the universe ends here, and from the top of the gorge, resembling the Latin letter V in this place, the previously calm river falls with a terrible roar, flying past picturesque rocks. Below, water crystals rise from the bottom of the canyon and, illuminated by the sun, play with all possible colors.
“However, lovers of winter landscapes can argue about beauty: in the frosty months, Tobot freezes like a giant icicle, hollow inside (crystal clear and incredibly tasty water runs through this cavity). The whole gorge is covered clear ice, as if turning into the realm of the Snow Queen,” he writes.
Blue lakes in Kabardino-Balkaria
Five amazing karst lakes are hidden between the rocks in Kabardino-Balkaria. In their waters, the mysteries of nature are hidden, which man has not yet fully unraveled.
Not a single river or stream flows into one of them, the Lower Lake, although it loses up to 70 million liters of water every day, but its volume and depth do not change at all. The Lower Lake, or Tserik-Kol, is one of the deepest in the region. It rightfully bears the title of one of the deepest lakes in Europe.
It is best to admire them, especially Tserik-Kol, in clear sunny weather, when the water there has a really pale blue color (it is due to the content of hydrogen sulfide). During the day, the lake can change color up to 16 times - from azure to emerald. But the water temperature in it is constant: no more than +9 ºС - both in winter and in summer.
Lake Proval
The beautiful turquoise color of the mineral water that fills the reservoir is due to the high sulfur content and the presence of certain bacteria in it.
The landmark of the Failure is two lions guarding the entrance to the cave. These sculptures appeared here in the middle of the 20th century. Since then, tourists are sure to take pictures (for good luck) with at least one of them.
In the time of Lermontov, however, the locals called the lake "hellish abyss" and believed that it was inhabited by a fire-breathing monster that circled over the city at night in search of victims. Nevertheless, one of the amusements of the "water society" - the society of visitors and the military, which gathered around the family of Prince V.S. Golitsyn, - there were dances over the abyss: on the initiative of the prince, the famous architects, the Bernardazzi brothers, built in 1837 a platform over the Proval, on which those who wished to dance a quadrille. The most inquisitive had the opportunity to go down in a special basket to the very water.
Watchtowers of the North Caucasus
The North Caucasus is one of the few places in Russia where ancestral guard towers have been preserved - a vivid example of an original mountain culture. They are located on the slopes of the Main Caucasian Range: on the territory of Ossetia, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Chechnya and Kabardino-Balkaria.
In the North Caucasus, the towers had both a residential and defensive function, which is why they were most often tribal guards. Due to enemy invasions, most of these structures have not been preserved. Some of the towers were family. According to custom, the tower had to be built no more than a year, otherwise the family could be considered unsuccessful; it was usually erected near the settlement.
The North Caucasian towers symbolize the honor of the family, unity and courage, being the pinnacle of the construction and architectural skill of the highlanders. North Caucasus.
Caucasian dolmens
Dolmens are buildings built from large stone blocks, presumably of a cult nature. Today, about three thousand of them have survived in the Caucasus.
Tiled dolmens usually include four walls, a roof and a floor consisting of one large or several smaller (heel) slabs. The chamber is rectangular or trapezoidal. There are grooves in the plates, due to which they are all tightly connected. The front plate forms a portal.
Composite dolmens are partially or completely assembled from separate small blocks. They have a complex geometric connection. The shape of the chamber is diverse: rectangular, trapezoidal, horseshoe-shaped, round and multifaceted.
Trough-shaped dolmens were carved in the thickness of the stone, and then covered with a slab from above. Dolmens-monoliths are entirely carved from one block of stone or in the rock.
The most mystical sights of the North Caucasus January 18th, 2012
The real story of most ancient monuments, perhaps, could be told by their creators. But they are long gone... And unusual man-made structures still excite people. And around some incredible stories and legends are born. Someone confirms them by their own example, collecting evidence that in certain places or ancient buildings there are mystical riddles, the answers to which can only be found by the most daring and courageous. We made our route through the places of the North Caucasus, which are considered mysterious among the people.
Lake Kazennoy-Am
STORY
Kazenoy-Am is located in the zone of mountainous alpine meadows and steppes at an altitude of 1870 m above sea level on the southern slope of the Andi Range, on the border of Chechnya and Dagestan. For its extraordinary attractiveness, locals call it the "Pearl of the Caucasus." Due to its inaccessibility, the reservoir is still little studied.
WHAT THEY SAY
According to legend, in the place where the water surface now stretches, a long time ago there was a village in which people lived, who forgot what love for their neighbor is and what are the laws of hospitality. One day, an angel, dressed as a beggar, descended to the ground and went to ask the inhabitants of the village for a lodging for the night. However, no one let the ragamuffin into the house. Only a poor widow, whose dwelling was located on the very edge of the village, took pity on the cold beggar. The next morning, he advised her to urgently leave the village in order to save her family from misfortune. The woman obeyed the guest, quickly gathered the children and went away from the village. As soon as she left the aul, an earthquake began, the aul fell into the ground and the waters of the lake closed over it. This legend has been passed down for many centuries, reminding the inhabitants of the surrounding lands of the importance of the laws of hospitality and human virtue.
Mysterious, in addition to the beauty of the reservoir, are many of its special characteristics. Thus, the lake does not communicate with other water bodies, due to which, for centuries, the biodiversity of Kazenoy-Am was isolated and not exposed to external factors. The exact depth of the lake has not been established, its bottom soil, flora, fauna have not been studied, the processes of water exchange, etc. have not been studied. According to scientists, there should be caves under the water column, the study of which could shed light on many open scientific questions. However, the main problem requiring an immediate solution is the conservation of a narrow-range endemic - the Eizenam trout, listed in the Red Book of Russia. This rare species of fish, which is found only in Kazenoy-Am, is on the verge of extinction.
Location: Chechen Republic, Vedeno district, s. Vedeno.
Elsa's cottage
STORY
It was built at the beginning of the 20th century in the pseudo-Romanesque style and resembled medieval castle under a hotel for vacationers. Its owner Elizaveta Gukasova, daughter of a German merchant and wife of the famous confectioner Alexander Gukasov, rented out furnished rooms on Brat'ev Bernadazzi Street, and her husband opened a restaurant and a coffee shop there. The couple was doing well, but the building had to be rented. Therefore, in 1903, they bought a plot on the outskirts of Pyatigorsk and built a luxurious dacha with big amount rooms. The country hotel was given the romantic name "Elza". Comfortable rooms in it opened two years later. After the revolution, the building was nationalized and a sanatorium building was opened in it.
WHAT THEY SAY
Now the building of Dacha Elsa is in a deplorable state. According to one of the popular versions, the ghost of Elizaveta Gukasova herself lives in the mansion, whom the Bolsheviks allegedly shot and walled up in the walls of the building. And now the rebellious spirit of the unfortunate Elsa, who, by the way, divorced her husband even before the revolution, wanders through the dilapidated rooms. Some visitors to the dacha are sure that the ghost of the lady is not at all kind, but with a heavy, evil character. She does not like to be disturbed out of curiosity, but if she feels that talent has come to her, she helps to open up, however, with an ominous, mystical tinge.
Location: Pyatigorsk, Lermontov St., 15, towards the Academic Gallery.
Rome Mountain
STORY
It is located near Kislovodsk in the valley of the Podkumok River. Archaeologists have found more than 150 catacomb burials near the slope of Rim-Mountain with numerous household items, jewelry, and weapons. It is believed that the catacombs belonged to the Romans. The locals called the mountain Rim-kale, that is, the fortress of the Rums, or Eastern Romans. It is believed that an ancient trade route ran here. And according to one of the legends, a detachment of Roman soldiers hid in the fortress, who died in battle with local residents. Later, archaeologists partly confirmed the assumptions. They established that in the X-XII centuries in the Podkumka valley stood trading city With impregnable fortress. And in the catacombs, where the Romans buried their own, scientists found arrows, spears, jewelry, dishes.
WHAT THEY SAY
You can look at the archaeological values in the Kislovodsk museum-fortress. They say that if you are lucky, during the tour you can find a fragment of ancient ceramics or the remains of weapons.
Location: 18 km west of Kislovodsk.
Second entrance to Shambhala
STORY
Speleologists told us about an interesting cave. On the plates that crowned it, they found a German swastika.
Entrance to underground mine neatly laid out from huge side plates. It continues to a depth of several tens of meters and is lined with massive blocks. This is a shaft about 80 meters long, made up of several sections with transition chambers from one to another. The first of them, going outside, is two solid stone slabs, set in parallel, with sides laid with neat small stones measuring 134 by 43 cm, so that not everyone can squeeze through.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the mine is partly man-made. Researchers continue to study it. It is quite possible that, having passed through another narrow passage, they will stumble upon a large cave with interesting artifacts, and maybe the entrance to a parallel world.
WHAT THEY SAY
According to esotericists, the entrance to the other world, where you can acquire the properties of a superman, is located in Tibet. But there are others.
For example, not far from Elbrus - sacred mountain Aryans. In the Northern Elbrus region there is a plateau, which is popularly called the "German airfield". Some researchers believe that the Germans found on Elbrus a mysterious mystical place with high energy, prayed from ancient times, and set up an occult laboratory there. Tibetan lamas were brought there for meditation in order to comprehend, and possibly change the future.
Apparently, the North Caucasus was perceived by Hitler as a graphic and mystical point, which unites the beginning and end of modern humanity. The meeting place of positive and negative forces, the axis of the world. It is quite obvious that Hitler imagined reaching the top of Elbrus as a harbinger of the last battle between the forces of good and evil.
Location: Baksansky district of Kabardino-Balkaria.
STORY
One of the most mysterious archaeological sites, which is located in North Ossetia near the village of Dargavs, in the valley of the Midagrabindon River. The burial complex consists of 99 above-ground crypts.
Scientists attribute it to the XIV - XVIII centuries. It was then that family tombs for collective burials were built in North Ossetia. The tradition of burial in such structures among the Ossetians was associated with the cult of ancestors, who were buried in full attire, with small household items. The deceased were laid on special wooden beds or in wooden boats. Scientists are still arguing where such a tradition came from in the mountains. From Mount Rabinyrag, where the City of the Dead is located, you can admire the peaks around. The monument is located in a very beautiful place.
WHAT THEY SAY
Ossetians are sure that the souls of their ancestors are immortal and there is a constant connection with the dead. Visiting a mystical place affects everyone differently. Someone says that there you can see a ghost dressed as a prince. Someone after visiting sees prophetic dreams. The main thing is to come to the tombs with pure thoughts and behave calmly and judiciously.
Location: in suburban area North Oestia - Alania, near the village of Dargavs.
There are enough places on Earth, among people who enjoy the fame of “prodigal” or “unclean”, and under the hour of the damned and demonic. But now they are called, not just like that, but scientifically - anomalous areas, geoactive or geopathic zones. If a place has a positive impact on a person, it is a sacred place, but if the impact is negative, it is a geopathic zone. But no matter how they are called, they will not become less mysterious from this.
Breath of the Sleeping Lion
Mount Razvalka, located in the North Caucasus near the city of Zheleznovodsk, can be attributed to a number of sacred ones. Due to its modest height - 720 meters above sea level - it is often referred to simply as a "slide". And for the dissonance of the elevation, for the similarity in configuration with the resting king of beasts, it is sometimes called the Sleeping Lion.
In summer, on the slopes of Razvalka it is pleasant to take a break from stuffiness and heat. Even when the heat reaches over 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature on the mountain surface is measured at 5-6 degrees. The fact is that the depth of the permafrost layer here reaches 9 meters. On a plot of about a hectare, the soil never thaws even in the hottest time. This is partly due to the cold air that comes from the bowels of the mountain. In severe winter frosts, a wind blows from the cracks, the temperature of which is above zero, about 8 degrees. Therefore, the slope of Razvalka in this place turns green with grass in winter, and some fruits ripen on it, and cherry plum bushes bear fruit.
The researchers tried to find out the reason for this phenomenon. There are many voids in the bowels of Razvalka, and for some reason they are filled with cold air. In summer, it exits through the cracks, and warm air enters in its place. There is a gradual circulation. But until the end, the secret of the Sleeping Lion's breath remains undiscovered. There are similar natural refrigerators, islands of permafrost - in other southern regions: in Romania, in Italian Lombardy, in the Pamirs of Gorno-Badakhshan, in the Chinese province of Liaoning.
There are plenty of remarkable places in the North Caucasus besides Razvalka. But in the last two decades of the 20th century, new messages about mysterious and unknown phenomena often came from here. Not only over the giant Elbrus, but also over the smaller mountains - Beshtau, Mashuk, Razvalka, these UFOs, which seem to have already set their teeth on edge, have become more and more often observed.
Way to base
In February 1989, a large number of people observed many luminous objects of various shapes. Flight routes originated from Elbrus. Although thousands of people have visited the peaks of the two-headed giant over half a century, according to local highlanders, there are still many places on it where no man has set foot. “Finding a base of space aliens,” they say, “may not be possible, but you need to look closely ...”
In August, two identical round flat objects were observed near Mount Beshtau. One of them shone with blue light and appeared from the west, and the second with a green glow - from the south. Both slowly, silently moved towards each other at an altitude of about 4 km. And then something happened...
Both objects, approaching each other at a distance of about five kilometers, stopped. A red ball separated from one and flew towards the second object.
But as it approached, less than a quarter of the distance away, a thin white beam was directed at it from this second object. Under the influence of the beam, the ball began to increase in size and change its color - from red to white. Then there was a sound like a slap, and the beam disappeared, and the ball fell not far from the eyewitness. Both objects slowly departed in the same directions they had come from.
On December 16, 2003, a resident of Lermontov, along with friends, was relaxing at a hot hydrogen sulfide spring, not far from the Second Athos Monastery. Suddenly they noticed three figures standing 400 meters higher up the mountainside. The figures were about two meters tall in yellow, silver and blue. They stood motionless, and a barely perceptible radiance emanated from them. Observers at that moment did not experience either surprise or fear. Mysterious creatures looked at people from above, as if watching them. Then they did not leave, did not fly away, but simply disappeared into the air ...
The company has witnessed a phenomenon of obviously extraterrestrial origin, Stanislav Donets, an enthusiast from Pyatigorsk who studies the UFO phenomenon, is sure. Aliens are a reality, they are visiting Earth; and one of the permanent "bases" of space guests in the region of the Caucasian Mineralnye Vody just is Mount Beshtau. And it is no coincidence that aliens appeared near the monastery: these objects were built in places "open to space and saturated with positive energy."
But the abbot of the Second Athos Monastery on Mount Beshtau is of the opposite opinion. In the doctrine of the Russian Orthodox Church there is no place for aliens from other galaxies. The head of the Department of Physics of the Pyatigorsk Technological University, Professor Andrey Chernobabov, also approaches the event with doubt. As a scientist, he trusts only the facts established as a result of scientific research. But as a person, as an eyewitness, he suddenly admits that he himself once saw something similar to a UFO in the sky!
Fear and trembling
List of mysterious anomalous zones and places, by the way, often associated with mountainous regions and individual heights, is extensive. Location on mountain range Bukantau in the Central Kyzyl Kum in Uzbekistan, there was a rumor about crashed UFOs. The expedition that left in the late 80s of the last century did not find any traces of the catastrophe. But in the Sarmysh gorge, ancient rock paintings of people in strange clothes were discovered, which can be interpreted as images of space aliens. Similar rock paintings are known to have been found in caves in Spain, China, France and other places. Some of them were made 10-15 thousand years before our era.
About one of high points flat Russia in Volgograd region- Mount Blue has long been an unusual rumor. Now she attracted thunderclouds and lightning discharges to herself, then they noticed light phenomena above her. In her zone, the behavior of animals changed. The engines of cars passing nearby were stalling. Helicopters also fell under the anomalous effect.
With a different shade of Krasnoyarsk Red Comb. But he gained fame not for his colors, but for the manifestation of gravitational influences. Here, cases of people being torn off the ground were observed not by somersaulting or falling from a slope, but by rising in the air by the mysterious force of natural levitation.
An ancient structure comparable in scale to the pyramids of Giza has been discovered in the North Caucasus.
We used to think that the main megaliths of the planet are concentrated in Egypt, South America, China. Our dolmens, which are conditionally classified as megalithic structures, look like dwarfs against the backdrop of pyramids and "great walls". But quite recently, a system of mysterious underground structures was discovered in the North Caucasus. So, in Kabardino-Balkaria, near the village of Zayukovo, mysterious multi-kilometer tunnels were discovered. Researchers suggest that they connected the ancient settlements that existed on our planet thousands of years ago. It is curious that all the tunnels are concentrated around a huge underground structure in the form of an overturned pyramid...
wonder city
“For many years we have been searching, going to the places of alleged dungeons, listening to the old-timers,” says Vadim Chernobrov, head of the All-Russian public research association Kosmopoisk. - And in the fall of last year, they moved to the place where, according to the stories of the elders, there is Old city. This is not an allegory, but a literal translation from the local dialect. Old-timers say that it was built by people who lived here before them. Who lived here, what kind of people, no one knows for sure.
The object is located at an altitude of about a kilometer above sea level. The locals showed the researchers one small hole in the mountain. The entrance is very narrow - about 30 centimeters in diameter. The guide told that the local population has a legend: if you climb there, you will find yourself in a huge city where there are squares, streets and houses, but there are no people. Indeed, the search engines got into a vast dungeon, which, gradually expanding, stretches deep into tens, and possibly hundreds of meters.
When the researchers began to examine the area around the manhole, they discovered a wide crevice. Maybe this is the main entrance to the dungeon, because if we assume the very fact of the existence of an underground settlement, it is unlikely that its inhabitants made their way through a narrow gap. Perhaps, going down the manhole, it will be possible to get to " main street". Last year, due to the weather, this was not possible, the researchers postponed the descent to the next summer. However, there was a second find - not far from the Old City, another manhole was found. Local historians Maria and Viktor Kotlyarov were brought here by climber and speleologist Arthur Zhemukhov, who trained in the mountains and drew attention to a strange depression.
Stones are piled on top, bushes grow, and in appearance it is an ordinary hole, which is apparently invisible in the ground. But Arthur noticed that there was a lot of seepage from the hole. This means that there is a large cavity in the ground. He began to expand the hole and got into a huge shaft, which led somewhere into the darkness. One did not dare to climb there, he called a detachment of speleologists. They descended into the mine and realized that there was no end in sight to the dungeon. “The first thing that caught their eye was the main walls in the mine, obviously of artificial origin,” says Vadim Chernobrov. - They are made of even stone blocks of approximately the same size as in the Egyptian pyramids, and stacked using similar technologies - one on top of the other. Each weighing 50-100 tons, well processed, although over time chips and cracks appeared.
What is this mysterious masonry? There are no traces of concrete or other mortar, as in the Egyptian pyramids. It is not clear how the ancient builders fastened the blocks together, but it is clear that they have been standing for more than one thousand years and even a needle cannot penetrate into the seam.
When the speleologists went deeper into the cave, they found a strange column. It seems to be hanging in the air, but at the same time it is tightly attached to the wall. Apparently, the dungeon has a colossal size, and people managed to explore only a small part of it. Deep they moved 100 meters. And ran into narrow passages.
wonder machine
The fact that the dungeon is not intended for human habitation became obvious to the search engines when they explored the entire accessible part of the cave. It turned out that it is crammed with narrow passages where even a child cannot squeeze through, and tiny holes where a human hand can hardly get through. Each such mini-cavity goes far inland: the light from the flashlights does not reach the bottom. What is this building? The researchers were under the impression that underground pyramid has a technological, not a sacred purpose. It looks like some kind of machine, an engineering structure of unknown purpose. “It looks like some kind of resonator, a device for seismological research, exploration, mining, or an energy generator,” says Chernobrov. “It is still impossible to say for sure - no analogues have been found in the world.” Many people think of the analogy with the mysterious cavities inside the Egyptian pyramids, also not intended for the movement of people.
In principle, a person cannot get there, but the ancient builders made them to last. These narrow manholes also lead tens of meters deep, but for what and where is a big question. Sometimes they end in rows of doors with handles, behind which are rooms of unknown purpose. There are plenty of versions about the purpose of the underground passages: a “refrigerator” for storing food, the dwelling of the ancient Aryans, a giant air conditioner, and an air duct. Or, for example, a giant power generator... There is evidence that during the Second World War, researchers from the SS organization "Ahnenerbe" were seen in these places, which, as you know, was looking for an entrance to Shambhala. It is said that Hitler considered the Caucasus, along with Tibet, "the place of concentration of Power" and "the center of control of the World." And allegedly rushed to the Caucasus just for this reason.
Researchers, of course, pay attention to the fact that the same Old City is located next to the pyramid. And they assume that these two objects are somehow connected. After all, for example, in Turkey, near the village of Derinkuyu, an 8-story city was found underground, designed for permanent and comfortable living of 40-50 thousand people. There are houses, outbuildings, bazaars, shops, water sources, wells and ventilation hatches.
In a word, a miracle of engineering technology, which is at least 4 thousand years old. Now about a dozen underground cities have been excavated in the world, three of them have become tourist sites. At the same time, it is known that some cities have underground communication with each other. These are huge distances - hundreds of kilometers. According to some scientists, the strange hum that scientists have recorded in different parts of the planet is nothing more than air draft in a system of man-made underground utilities located in the depths of the earth.
If this summer it turns out that under the village of Zayukovo really existed underground city, then the pyramid can be considered a kind of technical installation that ensures its vital activity. And then the "Zayukov miracle" will be the largest man-made prehistoric structure on the territory of modern Russia.
OpinionsVera Davidenko, head of the section of the Kabardino-Balkarian geological exploration expedition:
The fact that underground caves are of man-made origin is a moot point. The tuff of the Zayukovsky site is an accumulation of volcanic ejection products - ash, lava fragments, volcanic glass, and, to a small extent, rock fragments that make up the walls of the crater. The ejecta material during accumulation was hot, and therefore, during solidification, individual cracks formed, that is, the entire tuff massif turned out to be, as it were, broken into blocks. Consequently, the depression found near the village of Zayukovo is one of such cracks of gravity separation, which is characterized by smooth contact surfaces. Another thing is that ancient people could also use the natural cavity.
Alexander Pankratenko, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of Moscow State Mining University:
I examined a sample of "mortar" taken by speleologists from the stone blocks of the cave. It looks like some kind of reinforcing material. The composition is unknown to me, now nothing like this is used. The study of the sample also indicates that the inside of the cave is ideally ventilated, quite dry. Photographs of the cave also confirm the version of its artificial origin. Like it or not, future research should show.
There are such on earth Amazing places, which attract, despite all the time and space restrictions in the form of borders and time zones. My friends and I discovered one of these back in 2000.
There are more questions than answers.
NEAR Gelendzhik in the mountains there are unusual structures called dolmens. Their height reaches human height, they have the correct proportions. Most often they consist of five rather thick and heavy stone slabs weighing from 3 to 30 tons. Four stand around the perimeter, and the fifth in the form of a roof from above. A small round hole with a diameter of 20-30 centimeters is carved in the front plate.
They were first described and mapped by a Russian officer in the first world war. Then them all over Caucasus there were almost fifteen hundred, now there are about one and a half hundred left. It is interesting that dolmens can be found in other countries and on other continents.
These historical monuments- a mystery no less intriguing than Egyptian pyramids, stonehenge or signs of the ancient Incas, but less hyped.” It is not clear how these slabs were delivered to Mount Neksis, whose height is at least three thousand meters, in the X-V millennia BC? With what tool were the windows cut out in the block? Scientists have not yet found clear answers to these questions. Just as there is no unambiguous interpretation of what a dolmen is in general.
Translated from the Celtic, this word means a stone table "or a man's house." It is possible that the dolmens owe this name to the characteristic pattern that is repeated on each of them.
One of the most incredible versions says that strong but stupid giants and weak but cunning dwarfs lived in those days. Further, opinions diverge again: either the dwarfs dexterously forced the giants to work for themselves, or the big people themselves, out of pity, built houses for the little ones. But where, then, are the necessary utensils and other traces of the civilization of this life? There is another explanation. They say that hermits who wished to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of mankind left the settlements for dolmens. They got into this mysterious structure through the top, which was then covered with a huge slab. Communication with outside world could only be through that small window that we see today. They say that it was also closed with a stone cork.” Some people think that dolmens are tombs. But they don't have burials. The exceptions are relatively recent structures made of untreated shell rock. They are not at all like the ancient dolmens.

Mystical Pyatigorsk
ABOUT mystical places Kavminvod is written enough. Pyatigorsk and Mount Beshtau constantly appear among such legends.
Today I happened to see another delusional reflection on this topic. On the TV3 channel there is a cycle of programs Urban Legends. To be honest, I have never seen these programs, but I think they are all equally crazy. So much was said about Pyatigorsk, Lermontov and Beshtau that it would shock a normal person.
It turns out that Pyatigorsk water, drunk on a full moon, causes paranormal abilities in a person. It turns out that we live here and do not know that we have such a miracle :)))
I advise everyone to download to laugh at this nonsense.

Mysterious phenomena
In the early 90s, articles appeared in the foreign press that the Russians had drilled a well into the underworld. It was claimed that the drill ended up in a real biblical hell, where sinners are immersed in boiling tar. And even the USSR, which was considered an evil empire in the West, was afraid to continue to “hole the earth” ...
Dolmens- These are ancient megaliths built by people from large stone slabs or blocks of a certain shape. Dolmens are found in the most mysterious places on earth in a variety of civilizations. According to various estimates, their age is 7-10 thousand years, and all 9,000 dolmens in the world were made almost at the same time. Their geography is very diverse - Türkiye, the Mediterranean, Malta, England, North Korea etc. However, the most big number dolmens is found in the Caucasus, where almost a third of the currently known dolmens are located on the entire coastal strip of the Black Sea ...
The Pskov region has long been famous for its mystical stories, legends and rumors. In almost every village there is a heap of shocking stories that cause mystical horror and awe before the unknown. The stories about Loknyanskaya glade are perhaps the most terrible of all.
In folk tales such mysterious places called enchanted, it is not recommended to visit them. Science cannot really explain anything, being lost in conjectures. Scientists would happily dismiss the presence of mysterious manifestations anywhere on the planet, but the facts say otherwise - these phenomena exist and there is evidence of many eyewitnesses.
Sights of the Caucasus
Caucasus is one of the most various places in Russia, there is the sea, and high mountains, and beautiful nature, it is warm all year round, but the snow in the mountains lies almost all year round, and the climate for many is even curative. The North Caucasus is the most important tourist place Russians have been traveling for many years, of course, for the sake of the sea and the sun, but in the Caucasus, and besides this, there is something to see and where to relax. Sea, mountains, sun, amazing nature and a wonderful climate, everything in this place is created for a great holiday
