The most secret places in the Caucasus. Sacred places are anomalous areas…. Anomalous zone of Mount Beshtau: details and coordinates
North Caucasus- this is an amazing combination of landscapes, ancient monuments, mineral springs and plants. Those who dreamed of seeing miracles go to the Caucasus to enjoy beautiful views and natural beauty.
To explore the entire Caucasus in one trip is an unrealistic task. To make it easier for you to plan your route, we have prepared descriptions and photographs of all the most beautiful and interesting places in the region.
Attractions marked on the city map:
A natural monument, which is located at the foot of Mashuk and has long attracted numerous researchers and tourists. Previously, one could only admire the beauty of the underground lake through holes in the rock. In our time, a tunnel was built through which you can go down to a healing underground spring.
The lake water contains healing bacteria for the body, released from hydrogen sulfide springs under the lake. Local residents believe that by swimming several times in the waters of the spring, you can get rid of diseases forever.
Get there You can get here by bus traveling along the first route. The departure station is Pyatigorsk railway station. You need to go to the “Proval” stop.
Elsa's dacha
Built at the beginning of the 20th century in pseudo-Romanesque style. The building belonged to the Gukasov family, whose trade was hotel business. Thanks to the construction of this dacha, the first comfortable rooms appeared in Pyatigorsk. After the revolution, the Elsa dacha was nationalized, and one of the sanatorium buildings was located in it.
Get there you can reach the place from railway station Pyatigorsk by trams No. 1,3,5.
Building address: st. Lermontova 15 (near the Flower Garden).
This place is located near Kislovodsk. In the valley of the Podkumok River on the mountainside there are more than one hundred and fifty burials, in which archaeologists have found a large number of household items and ancient weapons. It was believed that the catacombs could have belonged to the Romans, who explored these places. Locals call the mountain the Fortress of the Eastern Romans.
Get there You can get to the place by car, moving west from Kislovodsk for 18 kilometers.
City of dead
A historical monument located in North Ossetia near settlement Dargavs. This monument is a burial complex of more than one hundred above-ground crypts. Archaeologists have attributed the buildings to the XIV - XVIII centuries. The crypts were intended for collective burials according to old Ossetian customs. The dead were buried in full clothing and surrounded by household items.
City of dead is located in a beautiful place - in the valley of the Midagrabindon River. The entire valley is surrounded by the Rabinrag Mountains, which offer amazing views from all parts of the village.
To get there to the place of collective burial, you need to take a bus that goes from central station Vladikavkaz, and go to the suburban area of Alanya. The rest of the route is done on foot.
One of most picturesque places battles, including the famous Khilak Wall. Fans of ancient myths can visit Nykhas - the place where the Nart heroes gathered.
Get there You can get to the gorge only by personal vehicle.
This place is located at the source of the Sofia River. This area is very popular among climbers and amateurs mountain tourism, they call him Arkhyz. Favorable climatic conditions and the proximity to the Black Sea endow the area with a wide variety of flora and fauna, making the area extremely beautiful.
Get there to the place is possible in a small-sized personal transport, moving from the center of the republic - the city of Cherkessk.
Is the most high waterfall Europe, which was also discovered quite recently. The length of this beauty is seven hundred meters. The waterfall originates in a glacier located at an altitude of more than four kilometers. The valley in which Zeigelan was discovered is an unusually beautiful place. It is dotted with small rivers and waterfalls, which take their sources from the same glacier.
Get there This wonderful place can only be reached by off-road vehicles, along the road that starts from the village of Dzhimara (Republic of North Ossetia). You need to move 7 kilometers south.
This is a unique complex of towers built in the Middle Ages. The complex is located on the site of a former rich village of the same name, which is why the towers have been preserved. Now there are nine defensive towers left and more than twenty others intended for the residence of local residents. Height defensive towers reaches thirty meters, and the thickness of the walls is six meters.
To see these beautiful structures, you should get to the village of Olgeti, which is located in the Dzheirakhsky district of the Republic of Ingushetia. This can be done by bus or personal transport.
It was located on the site of an ancient solar estuary, but in the nineteenth century local residents built a canal from the Kuban River and desalinated the reservoir. Over time, the estuary became smaller and filled with diversity various types fish and plants. The lotus was brought to these places by biologists, thanks to whom the flower has now spread so well throughout most of the estuary.
In the Lotus Valley, which is located on the Taman Peninsula Krasnodar region There are regular excursions. If you're going into this beautiful place, That best time It will be the period of lotus blossoming. This period occurs in the second half of July and lasts until the end of August.
One of the most mysterious places Black Sea coast. Thanks to numerous springs that have healing properties for the body, active mud volcanoes were formed. In total, there are about thirty places in this region where you can take therapeutic mud baths.
The most famous and beautiful volcano is Karabetova Sopka with a crater size of 1380x860 meters. In all places where therapeutic mud bathing is permitted, special pontoons have been built, thanks to which mud baths can be carried out completely safely.
The easiest way to get here is with a tour. But if you still decide get there on your own by private car, then you should stick to the road running between the villages of Termyuk and Peresyp, since all the mud volcanoes are located on this route.
Another most beautiful place in the Caucasus - national park Elbrus region. Its inspection can be combined with a trip to.

There are many places on Earth that have a reputation among local residents as “unclean,” “prodigal,” or even cursed and demonic.
Nowadays they are usually called “scientifically” - anomalous areas, geoactive or geopathogenic zones. With a positive impact on a person, these are sacred places; with a negative impact, these are geopathogenic zones. But the scientific nature of the names did not make them any less mysterious.
Breath of the Sleeping Lion
Among the sacred ones is Mount Razvalka, located in the North Caucasus near the city of Zheleznovodsk. Due to its modest height - 720 meters above sea level - it is often referred to simply as a “slide”. And for the discordance 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 relax from the stuffiness and heat. Even when the heat reaches more than 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature on the mountain surface measures 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 season.
This is partly due to the cold air that comes from the depths of the mountain. In severe winter frosts, wind blows from the cracks, the temperature of which is above zero, about 8 degrees. Therefore, the slope of Razvalka in this place is green with grass in winter, and some fruits ripen on it, and cherry plum bushes bear fruit.
Researchers tried to find out the reason for this phenomenon. There are many voids in the depths of Razvalka, and for some reason they are filled with cold air. In summer, it comes out through the cracks, and warm air comes in its place. There is a gradual circulation. But the secret of the Sleeping Lion's breathing remains unrevealed until the end. There are similar natural refrigerators, islands of permafrost - and in other southern regions: in Romania, in Italian Lombardy, Pamir Mountain 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 reports about mysterious and unknown phenomena often came from here. Not only over the giant Elbrus, but also over smaller mountains - Beshtau, Mashuk, Razvalka, these seemingly already set teeth on edge and yet mysterious and intriguing UFOs began to be observed more and more often.
Path to base
In February 1989, a large number of people observed many luminous objects of various shapes. The flight paths originated from Elbrus. Although thousands of people have visited the peaks of the two-headed giant over half a century, according to the testimony of local mountaineers, there are still many places on it where no human has set foot. “It may not be possible to find a base of space aliens,” they say, “but you have to look closely...”
Mount Beshtau looks like a complex of huge pyramids
In August, two identical round flat objects were observed in the area of Mount Beshtau. One of them glowed with a blue light and appeared from the west, and the second with a green glow appeared from the south. Both slowly, silently moved towards each other at an altitude of about 4 km. And then something happened...
Both objects, having approached each other at a distance of about five kilometers, stopped. A red ball separated from one and flew towards the second object. But as he approached, less than a quarter of the distance, a thin white beam was directed at him 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 moved away in the same directions from which they came.
On December 16, 2003, a resident of Lermontov and his friends were relaxing at a hot hydrogen sulfide spring, not far from the Second Athos Monastery. Suddenly they noticed three figures standing about 400 meters higher up the mountain slope. The figures were approximately two meters tall and were yellow, silver and blue. They stood motionless, and a barely noticeable glow emanated from them. The observers did not experience either surprise or fear at that moment. Mysterious creatures looked at people from above, as if watching them. Then they didn’t leave, didn’t fly away, but simply disappeared into thin air...
The company witnessed a phenomenon clearly of extraterrestrial origin, Pyatigorsk UFO phenomenon research enthusiast Stanislav Donets is sure. Aliens are a reality, they visit Earth; and one of the permanent “bases” of space guests in the Caucasian Mineral Waters region is Mount Beshtau. And it was no coincidence that the 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 holds the opposite opinion. In the Russian doctrine Orthodox Church there is no place for aliens from other galaxies. The head of the department of physics at Pyatigorsk Technological University, Professor Andrei Chernobabov, also approaches the event with doubts. As a scientist, he trusts only facts established through scientific research. But as a person, as an eyewitness, he unexpectedly admits that he himself once saw something in the sky that looked like a UFO!
Fear and Trembling
The list of mysterious anomalous zones and places, by the way, often associated with mountainous regions and individual altitudes, is extensive. In a section of the Bukantau mountain range in Central Kyzylkum in Uzbekistan, rumors began to circulate about crashed UFOs. The expedition that left in the late 80s of the last century did not find any traces of the disaster.
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 cave paintings are known to have been discovered in caves in Spain, China, France and other places. Some of them were made 10-15 thousand years BC.
About one of high points flat Russia in Volgograd region- Mount Sinya has long been rumored to be unusual. Either she attracted thunderclouds and lightning strikes to herself, or they noticed light phenomena above her. In her area, the behavior of animals changed. The engines of cars passing nearby stalled. Helicopters also came under anomalous influence.
With a different shade, Krasnoyarsk Red Comb. But he gained fame not for his colors, but for the manifestation of gravitational influences. Here there were cases of people being lifted off the ground not by tumbling or falling from a slope, but by being lifted in the air mysterious force natural levitation.

“...A beautiful land - the charm of legends!
Our gray-haired, ancient Caucasus
Through Time we love the Earth and Knowledge
Carried it through without losing the Order!...”
L. Milenina
Summer is coming and soon it will be time for hiking in nature, in the mountains, and we want to talk a little about the sights of the Krasnodar region, about unusual place we are living. Living in the city and immersed in family and social problems, many do not even suspect (until now!) that they are surrounded by a unique geophysical large-scale “zone”, that the entire Great Caucasus Range is simply strewn with ancient structures. What does this mean? This is what we will talk about!
For 18 years now, we have been traveling to the most mysterious places of our region and beyond, often organizing expeditions, seminars, and meeting very interesting and extraordinary people. We are interested in a lot of things and therefore any new meeting with researchers, physicists, architects, archaeologists, mathematicians, geophysicists and other creative individuals brings a huge range of not only knowledge, but also psychological and emotional pleasure. Today we would like to introduce you to our friends, local historians and researchers D.A. Dmitriev and S.V. Fialkovskaya (Gelendzhik), who have been fascinated by the mysteries of history and places of power for many years. In their research they pay special attention to dolmens and at one time made the discovery of an ancient scheme for calculating the golden proportion, calling it the Golden Rod of Janet.
And so, we will tell you what our friends “put together” about dolmens.
“...Dolmens are located on the territory from Anapa to Ochamchire in Abkhazia and deepen from coastline to the mountains up to 100 km. They usually stand in groups and occupy fairly flat areas on the spurs of mountains and along river valleys. Their facades face mainly south and southeast or towards open space. Dolmens in the Caucasus were first discovered by Europeans at the beginning of the 19th century, and the discovery of new ones continues to this day. It is assumed that there were initially about 10 thousand of them in the Caucasus. Around the same time as the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge in England, rows stone pillars- menhirs on the coast of France, buildings of Baalbek in Lebanon, dolmens also appeared in the Western Caucasus - this is from the end of the 4th millennium BC. until the middle of the 2nd millennium BC.
Archaeologists believe that dolmens are burial structures. They were erected by the ancient people of the Bronze Age to mark the territory of their residence. Dmitry and Stanislava have a different point of view - the first, early dolmens were erected as sanctuaries and temples. Their builders were a tribe of priest-shamans. They had high knowledge in various fields: mathematics, architecture, physics (as a science of nature). They understood the structure of the world and the role of man in it and much more...
Typically, an early (more ancient) dolmen consists of a rectangular or round chamber, enclosed in a rounded stone mound. In this case, the facade slab with a round entrance hole and the roof of the chamber are visible. The side walls of the chamber protruding forward, covered on top by an overhanging roof canopy, form an architectural portal (Latin for “entrance”, “gate”). The rounded entrance hole usually has a diameter of 35 to 41 cm, it is closed with a mushroom-shaped stone plug (sleeve) weighing up to 150 kg. In front of the portal there is a courtyard paved with slabs, usually large in area: from several tens to 100 m2. This dolmen is made of massive, carefully processed slabs or blocks. They are adjusted to each other with amazing precision - down to a millimeter, sometimes along a curved surface. The camera has perfect form and folded according to certain mathematical proportions.
Therefore, it can be assumed that the early dolmens were ancient temples or sanctuaries, a place of entry into the other world. Here the builders communicated with ancestors, spirits and gods. A certain number of people could gather in the courtyards, and the chamber served as an altar.
Time passed... in later times, individual burials of people began to take place in dolmens. Only the best representatives of the family could receive such an honor - to be buried in a dolmen. A similar situation occurs today, when in modern churches we meet the burial places of saints, priests, kings. But temples were not built for this purpose, only the cult led to their use...
Dolmens have been studied by physicists. They came to the conclusion that the dolmen chamber, enclosed in a mound, is a resonator, reminding us of a musical instrument that uses resonance: a guitar, a balalaika, a violin. A rounded mound of soil ensures tight contact of the chamber with the surface of the Earth. It is known that dolmens stand on geoactive places (faults in the earth’s crust). The flow of earthly energy is transformed in the acoustic chamber of the dolmen and radiated through the hole.
The chamber slabs consist of quartz-bearing sandstone. And this is no coincidence. Quartz is widely used in radio electronics and has the properties of the piezoelectric effect. Having examined the technical features of early megaliths, physicists made assumptions that dolmens are generators and, at the same time, receivers of vibrations, play the role of communication, and also influence human health and vital activity...
Modern scientists, having studied the Earth's biosphere, its seismicity, electric and magnetic fields, as well as the interrelationship of the processes occurring on it, have come to the conclusion that the Earth has all the signs of intelligent life. Just like the body of humans and animals, the Earth is permeated with currents that are not magnetic. Their nature is poorly understood, but they have a certain impact on the planet’s biosphere. Many ancients called this energy “Snake”, and its manifestations were compared to the movements of a “dragon”. The picturesque “Snake” flow of earthly energy rushes upward from the center of the Earth and begins to vibrate in the dolmen chamber, generating high frequencies. It can be assumed that the dolmen is a very sensitive receiver-transmitter tuned to the frequency of psychic energy. It captures, enhances and transforms the subtle energies of both the Earth itself and its inhabitants. Scientists call such energies torsion fields; among the ancient Chinese it is the energy “qi”; among the Hindus it is “prana”. Perhaps the above-described earthly “snake” energy was depicted as a builder on dolmens, in the form of one or a series of broken lines.
And so, let's draw some conclusions. Dolmens are devices designed to interact with human psychic energy. With their help, ancient priests solved a wide range of problems related to energy-information exchange. The reserves of the human psyche are unlimited and contain many wonderful possibilities. These are the abilities of telepathy, clairvoyance, levitation and much more. Ancient man studied and developed his inner world, without separating it from the forces of the Earth and Space. Today we can see echoes of that knowledge in the eastern practices of qigong, in tarot cards and in Shamanism...”
Golden Rod of Janet.
“...Dolmens are magical instruments, thanks to which they built life on the Planet. Dolmens are huge stone books, on the walls of which Knowledge was written, as instructions for the “production” of Energy, Will, Strength and Spirit...”
L. Milenina
Dear reader, today we continue to introduce our friends, local historians and researchers D.A. Dmitriev and S.V. Fialkovskaya (Gelendzhik), who for many years have been fascinated by the mysteries of history and places of power, and at one time made the discovery of an ancient scheme for calculating the golden proportion, calling it the Golden Rod of Janet. We bring to your attention the story of local historians...
“We have a long-standing tradition in Gelendzhik: introducing visiting guests to the sights of the city and its surroundings. Such places include the Zhane River and a complex of three dolmens located in its valley. Several years ago, the dolmens were excavated and restored by an archaeological expedition led by candidate of historical sciences Viktor Anatolyevich Trifonov.
In the center of the composition is a dolmen, made of massive slabs, with a broken roof canopy. His cell is surrounded by a stone embankment up to the roof. Adjacent to the chamber is a semicircular large courtyard, limited from the embankment by a retaining wall made of blocks. The façade of the dolmen is decorated with a relief image of a portal. The protruding ends of the side walls are decorated with a series of vertical broken lines. On the blocks of the retaining wall a relief image of two convex hemispheres has been preserved. In front of the dolmen, seven meters away, lies a slab, half sunk into the ground. This is the roof canopy. The ancient “hooligans” broke it off, but they couldn’t drag it far (it was a bit difficult). On the southern side of the slab, a pentagon-shaped pattern consisting of a chain of holes is faintly visible. There are 45 holes in the picture (5x9=45). Similar patterns of holes are found not only here, but also on other dolmens. This is an ancient abacus - “abacus”. Pebbles or other small objects were placed in the holes and calculations were made, just as we do today with wooden abacuses. But unlike modern ones, counting in those days did not use the decimal series, but harmonious number systems.
The “counting” holes were preserved on the roof canopy, that is, they were outside the structure. What could be inside the camera?
Approaching the camera, stretching our arms forward, we crawl through the narrow entrance hole and get inside. Gradually, the eyes get used to the darkness and mysterious geometric patterns on the walls open before the gaze. The drawings look like waves running on water. Here we see the same “counting” holes only in cross-section. A horizontal straight line runs across the three walls above the holes. It represents the surface of the counting board. Now let's try to count the number of holes on each wall. On the back (northern) plate there are 21 of them, on the side (east and west) - 13, and on the front (south) - 12. And then suddenly the MOST INTERESTING DETAIL opens to our eyes - a convex hemisphere! This is the pebble that was lowered into the hole. Let's mentally let go of a pebble that, falling on a row of 13 holes, will hit the edge of the fifth hole and, rebounding, will remain there. With this fall, the number series of 13 will be divided into numbers 5 and 8. Thus, we have a number series: 5, 8, 12, 13, 21. All numbers from it, except 12, correspond to the Fibonacci number series.
Fibonacci numbers are elements of the number sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144... in which each subsequent number is equal to the sum of the two previous numbers. One of the properties of the Fibonacci series is that the ratio of any number in the series to the previous one tends to the golden ratio, that is, to the value of 1.618. (8/5=1.6; 13/8=1.625; 21/13=1.615). The golden ratio (golden ratio) is the division of a segment into unequal parts in the ratio - (a+b)/b=b/a.
Having taken it into service, they began to calculate all the walls, making a projection of sights and additional points, the discovery of a universal tool of the ancients took place - this is the magical GOLDEN WAND OF ZHANET. Moreover, on the eastern wall the symbol of the eye is encoded in mathematical form. In the human skull, the distance from the bridge of the nose to the edge of the eye socket corresponds to approximately 5.3 cm. The eye is a symbol of the sun. This is the emblem of the sky god Horus, a symbol of all-seeing power. On the western wall, the palm symbol is encoded in mathematical form (span). Accordingly, two palms and an eye are encoded in the diameter of the dolmen's hole 18+18+5.3=41.5. The palm is a symbol of a person - a creator, a master. And also a symbol of spiritual strength.
Based on the Golden Rod of Janet, it is possible to create matrices with the properties of the golden proportion, which allow you to “track” the development of any material process or structure, including economic, social (including government), environmental...
Isn’t this the “danger” of knowing the matrix? Is this not the biggest secret that the priests of Egypt took with them?
And this secret lies in the development of life on Earth and in the Universe.
Everything related to the proportions of life, harmony and beauty is related to the golden ratio. This is one of the basic laws of nature. The golden ratio is manifested in the structure of crystals, plants, animals, humans; in the structure of planets, galaxies, in radiation spectra and time periods. When a person admires something beautiful, his eye fixes the golden ratio. And the person is overwhelmed with inner strength (energy). This is what the ancient masters were looking for.
Since ancient times, man has used the golden ratio in art and architecture. The master brought objects to life by touching them with a magic rod or wand. The magical Golden Rod of Zhane is not only the rod itself. It is also a double-edged sword. In the mythology of ancient peoples, knowledge of the golden ratio is contained in the concept of a magic sword! This is a treasure sword, the sword Excalibur, etc. Some heroes get it from inside the stone (Peleus, Theseus, King Arthur). With the help of the sword, everything unworthy and unfruitful is cut off, “Every tree that does not bear good fruit.” The image of the sword contains the meaning of the unchanging law of Harmony.
It is interesting to note that a design similar to the golden ratio diagram on Jean was depicted on the wall of the annex portal large Shapsug dolmen. Perhaps he had other unique drawings, but we will never know about it. The dolmen was blown up in the fifties local residents. All that remains are photographs and sketches. They show the familiar 13 holes, but in an inverted position.”
Today this dolmen has another name: “Teacher-Student”. Human contactees have more than once had the opportunity to communicate with the spirit of this dolmen. Although one “image of the Elder” “came into contact,” the perception had a dual existence: Wisdom and Youth. Subsequently, the Dolmen Spirit introduced himself like this: “I am a “Teacher-Student” in one person.” Confirming the dual nature of the World in which we live.
And this is not the only dolmen in Shapsug! There are quite a lot of them here.
The most famous is the Great Shapsug dolmen or “Grandfather”. It is carved from a whole stone and covered with a separate slab. The shape is reminiscent of a birdhouse, the similarity is emphasized by the inclined slab-roof and the round hole in the front wall. Archaeologists determine its age to be 3.5 thousand years. There are a large number of cup-shaped depressions on the upper surface of the slab, most of them natural origin. However, some of the pits differ from the rest in a more regular shape, size and, most likely, were created artificially. Moreover, experts see the constellation Orion in their figure. It is curious that in February - April this constellation dominates the southern part of the starry sky, where the façade of the dolmen is oriented...
All dolmens are located in zones of seismic activity. That is, under a certain situation and impact on the structure itself, the megalith can transmit certain information into space. In this case, such a dolmen can become both a transmitter and a receiver. If there is a person next to such an activated dolmen, then the dolmen is able to catch the radiation emanating from it and convert it into ultrasonic vibrations, and then transmit them along waveguide faults to other dolmens, and if there is a person tuned to the same wave next to another dolmen , it can receive the transmitted information. In general, archaeologists and researchers can assume that the “dolmen” phenomenon is a kind of warning and information transmission system.
According to other theories, there is a threshold ritual, that is, a portal that opens a door to another world, another dimension. The dolmens of the Caucasus, according to this theory, are these very doors to another world. By absorbing and storing this energy, dolmens could become powerful emitters, allowing people to “tune in” to certain energy waves. This is where quartz comes in handy, because it can generate vibrations in the range of 4-12 Hz, and these are the waves that help you fall into a meditative state and trance. The location of dolmens in places of tectonic faults may have contributed to the dolmen producing the necessary frequencies using micro-shocks of the earth's crust.
Well, we continue our journey. At a distance of 1 km from the “Grandfather” dolmen, on the adjacent slope there is most interesting place, to which the name “Shambhala” was assigned. Some say that Shambhala is the “Homeland of the Gods”, others interpret it as the “Navel of the Earth”. On a small terrace there is a powerful rocky outcrop; on the southern side the portal of the begun construction of a dolmen-monolith is clearly visible. In the center of the portal, something drilled a deep round hole with a diameter of about 30 centimeters. Behind the dolmen are two large rock fragments, one of which, according to archaeologists, served as a sacrificial stone. A little to the right and 10-12 meters lower, at the foot of the cliff, you can see the portal of another dolmen-monolith, which began construction.
Expeditions were carried out in this place by one research center - the knowledge obtained here is simply unique!!!
Further the path leads down a steep slope, which leads to Devil's finger. This is a huge monolith, a free-standing rock. Human contactees concluded that this rock is a kind of energy information center for all dolmens located throughout the Shapsug anomaly and beyond. All dolmens are connected to each other along the etheric meridians underground and create a kind of single integral structure. That's why Shapsuga is called a zone!
And this rock has a second name - it is Cooper. The history of the origin of this name is known to local “old-timers” and esoteric philosophers, but not to tour guides...
The village of Shapsugskaya and its surroundings have long been nicknamed anomalous, and on the map of anomalous zones, it is designated as the Shapsugskaya anomaly. Beginning in 1995, when people related to esoteric knowledge began to gather in the Romashkovye Glades near the village of Shapsugskaya, they began to notice and track many phenomena that went beyond the normal for the perception of an ordinary person. This was largely the source of the area's anomalous reputation. Here, according to the stories of various people, they often have very vivid dreams, which tend to become reality, voices are heard and visions arise. In different zones, the full scale on the phone suddenly completely disappears, as if someone took and “drank” the energy from the phone. In another place, on the contrary, the charge is replenished. Video cameras and cameras often break down. By photographing the same place several times, at the same time, all the frames turn out different: sometimes bright and colored, sometimes overexposed or black and white, and some frame is always just black. It's as if space is playing with you. In many photographs, various objects, creatures and plasmoids appear. But this is only a small fraction of the “miracles” that constantly occur here.
The Shapsug anomalous zone contains both burial mounds (there are just a lot of them here) and dolmen groups; a quarry for the extraction of dolmen slabs 4 thousand years ago, and a fortress-refuge on the top of Mount Ostraya; The “Svintsovaya” fortress on the top of Mount Svintsovaya, the well-known Mandala “Eternity”.
Shapsug anomaly - fiction or reality? Mandala "Eternity".
In the Abinsk region, in the village of Shapsugskaya, deep in the forest, in a clearing with the cute name Dovgenka, there is interesting building in the form of a huge pattern of stones - Mandala “Eternity”.
Her image is a collection of symbols. All these symbols are widely known and are the cultural and philosophical heritage of ancient peoples and civilizations, but this does not mean that the authors of the Mandala are adherents of this or that philosophy or religion. What the Mandala contains is a synthesis of many elements of cultural knowledge, in which something new is born that may be difficult for an unprepared person to understand.
The center of the Eternity Mandala is a round stone symbolizing the heart, like that of any other living organism. Next is an Eight-pointed star, which is inscribed in a circle. Behind the circle there is a twelve-pointed star, also inscribed in the circle, which at the same time represents the Maltese cross, marked on four sides in white. Next comes another circle (red) framed by an oval, which together with all of the above depicts the human eye. Next are four more large circles, correlated with human “shells”: etheric, astral, mental, causal and other bodies. The large triangle inscribed in them together with the eye make up the All-Seeing Eye.
The outer circle of the Mandala has four entrances, symbolizing the four ends of the world; at each of them, Alexander Voronkin built benches that simultaneously serve as a place for rest, work and contemplation. One of the entrances is depicted in the shape of a white cross; it is the main one. In our understanding, it symbolizes not only the Christian cross, but also a crossroads, a crossroads at which a person faces a choice in choosing his path, life and spiritual. Therefore, at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical, a wooden figure depicting a person was placed.
Behind the two-meter figure there are two circles of stone, laid out in the form of wells, originally conceived as two conical pyramids, which in turn carry the embodiment of duality, masculine and feminine principles, that duality that has become a component of all things on Earth. If we decompose the Mandala into diagrams and drawings, then we can draw an analogy between the Mandala of Eternity and the double-headed eagle - the current coat of arms of Russia, the Flower of Life or Perfection and the Philosopher's Stone.
The Mandala begins on the day of the total solar eclipse on August 11, 1999.
The most important thesis of “Mandala” is the revelation of all sides of the human personality, hence the very clear and distinct self-awareness of everyone who is close to it and the contagious vital pride of the people who touched it. This is the true leader to whom the earth provides all its bounties. “Mandala” helps to make far-reaching plans and implement them. Helps: to enter the life stage of people, receive praise, applause, as a reward for your kindness; choose the largest of all possible enterprises and do not waste money on trifles; enhances boundless confidence and attracts people around her. “Mandala”, as a Great Combinator, helps people suffering from infertility and anyone who has lost faith in their abilities. “Mandala” has reliability, loyalty, modesty and readiness to help at any time. Develops decency, virtue, discipline, reliability and responsibility in people.
The “Eternity” mandala makes everything happy: life, love, art! She reveals the secret depths of the psyche and understands the darkest, most complex and taboo forbidden sides of human life. “Mandala” enhances psychoanalysis, attracts people to questions of existence; enhances therapeutic and healing abilities, the ability to foresight. Mandala enhances the beauty and color of amazing dreams. Reliability, determination, and conscientiousness awaken in a person working with Mandala. Mandala “Eternity” as a structure helps people overcome crises and problems, and also helps people who live side by side with their death.
The strong point of "Mandala" is the good fairy. She has an instinctive desire to penetrate the secrets of the universe, to eliminate other people's prohibitions and spells. Cautious interest in everything hidden, intimate, otherworldly, in the abyss of human unconsciousness.
It is not without reason that the “Eternity” mandala is called the epicenter of the Shapsug anomaly. Some “miracles” are constantly happening here. Then a person walks along a certain route and suddenly begins to “wander” and comes out of nowhere to the mandala - as if she specially “called” him to come. Then the pedestrian begins to hear very beautiful music and, following the sound, comes to the Mandala, but there is neither a player nor people near it. More than once people have said that they heard bell ringing, someone's conversation and not one or two people, but large quantities…
This mysterious structure was built in a geomagnetic zone of seismic activity. Such places are called places of Power. So the Mandala intensifies and manifests everything: it shows a person with pride his “greatness” through humiliation; to someone who humiliates himself, his strengths are revealed and he, turning his shoulders, begins to believe in himself. Places of Power turn a person “inside out”, showing what he really consists of.
Not every person dares to pitch a tent near Mandala and risk staying overnight. Unusual dreams occur here. It seems that some people experience changes in consciousness overnight towards a conscious perception of themselves and the world around them. Having visited this place, everyone leaves different...
The most mystical sights of the North Caucasus January 18th, 2012
The real story Most ancient monuments, perhaps, could be told by their creators. But they are long gone... And unusual man-made structures still excite people. Moreover, incredible stories and legends are born around some of them. Someone confirms them by their own example, collecting evidence that in certain places or ancient buildings there are mystical mysteries, the answer to which can only be found by the bravest and bravest. We have compiled our route through places in the North Caucasus that are popularly considered mysterious.
Lake Kazennoy-Am
STORY
Kazenoy-Am is located in the mountain zone alpine meadows and steppes at an altitude of 1870 m above sea level on the southern slope of the Andean ridge, on the border of Chechnya and Dagestan. Due to its extraordinary attractiveness, local residents 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 it now extends water surface, a long time ago there was an aul in which people lived who had forgotten what love for one’s neighbor is and what the laws of hospitality are. One day an Angel, dressed as a beggar, descended to earth and went to ask the village residents for a place to stay for the night. However, no one allowed the ragamuffin into the house. Only the poor widow, whose home was located at the very edge of the village, took pity on the chilled 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 walked away from the village. As soon as she left the village, an earthquake began, the village fell underground 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.
In addition to the beauty of the reservoir, many of its special characteristics are mysterious. Thus, the lake does not communicate with other bodies of water, 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 must be caves under the water column, the study of which could shed light on many open scientific questions. However, main problem requiring immediate attention is the conservation of a narrow-area endemic – the Eisenam 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, village. Conducted.
Elsa's dacha
STORY
It was built at the beginning of the 20th century in the pseudo-Romanesque style and resembled medieval castle for a hotel for vacationers. Its owner Elizaveta Gukasova, the daughter of a German merchant and the wife of the famous confectioner Alexander Gukasov, rented out furnished rooms on Bernadazzi Brothers Street, and her husband opened a restaurant and coffee shop there. The couple's business was going well, but the building had to be rented. Therefore, in 1903, they bought a plot of land on the outskirts of Pyatigorsk and built a luxurious dacha with big amount rooms. The country hotel was given the romantic name “Elsa”. Comfortable rooms opened within two years. After the revolution, the building was nationalized and a sanatorium building was opened in it.
WHAT THEY SAY
Now the building of Elsa's Dacha 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 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 has a difficult, evil character. She doesn’t like to be disturbed out of curiosity, but if she feels that talent has come to her, she helps her to open up, albeit with an ominous, mystical overtone.
Where is it: Pyatigorsk, Lermontov St., 15, towards the Academic Gallery.
Rome-Mount
STORY
It is located near Kislovodsk in the valley of the Podkumok River. On the slope of Rome Mountain, archaeologists found more than 150 catacomb burials with numerous household items, jewelry, and weapons. It is believed that the catacombs belonged to the Romans. Local residents 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 legend, a detachment of Roman soldiers who died in battle with local residents took refuge in the fortress. Later, archaeologists partly confirmed the assumptions. They established that in the X - XII centuries in the Podkumka valley stood market town with an impregnable fortress. And in the catacombs where the Romans buried their own, scientists found arrows, spears, jewelry, and dishes.
WHAT THEY SAY
You can look at the archaeological treasures at the Kislovodsk Fortress Museum. They say that if you are lucky, during the excursion you can find a fragment of ancient ceramics or the remains of a weapon.
Where it is located: 18 km west of Kislovodsk.
Second entrance to Shambhala
STORY
About interesting cave speleologists told us. On the slabs that crowned it, they found a German swastika.
The entrance to the underground mine is carefully laid out from huge side slabs. It continues to a depth of several tens of meters and is lined with massive blocks. This is a shaft about 80 meters long consisting of several bends with transition chambers from one to another. The first of them, going outside, consists of two solid stone slabs, placed parallel, with the sides laid with neat small stones measuring 134 by 43 cm, so not everyone can squeeze through.
The naked eye can see that the mine is partly man-made. Researchers continue to study it. It is quite possible that, having passed through the next narrow passage, they will stumble upon a large cave with interesting artifacts, and perhaps an 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 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 a mysterious mystical place on Elbrus with high energy, prayed for since ancient times, and set up an occult laboratory there. Tibetan lamas were brought there for meditation in order to comprehend and perhaps change the future.
Apparently, the North Caucasus was perceived by Hitler as a graphic and mystical point at which the beginning and end of present humanity are united. The meeting place of positive and negative forces, the axis mundi. It is quite obvious that Hitler imagined reaching the top of Elbrus as a harbinger of the final battle between the forces of good and evil.
Location: Baksan district of Kabardino-Balkaria.
City of dead
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 Ossetian tradition of burial in such structures was associated with the cult of ancestors, who were buried in full clothing, with small household items. The deceased were placed on special wooden beds or in wooden boats. Scientists are still arguing where such a tradition came from in the mountains. From Mount Rabinaragh, where the City of the Dead is located, you can admire the surrounding peaks. The monument is located in a very beautiful place.
WHAT THEY SAY
Ossetians are confident that the souls of their ancestors are immortal and there is a constant connection with the dead. Visit mystical place affects everyone differently. Someone says that you can see a ghost dressed as a prince there. After a visit, someone sees prophetic dreams. The main thing is to come to the tombs with pure thoughts and behave calmly and judiciously.
Where is it located: in the Suburban region of Northern Oestia - Alania, near the village of Dargavs.
The history of the Caucasus is covered in legends. It was there, according to Greek myths, that the ancient country Colchis. If we believe modern “mythology”, then Caucasus Mountains completely populated by aliens, Bigfoot people and even... gods. Well, you won’t surprise anyone with aliens and monsters these days, but living spirits and deities that help people are still exotic.
Healing tears of Mashuk
Place of Lermontov's duel
Russian poets have repeatedly sung the Caucasus, admiring its beauty and grandeur. One of them was M.Yu. Lermontov, killed in a duel at the foot of Mount Mashuk. But she is much more famous for her healing waters. The origin of its name is connected with them. According to legend, a long time ago there lived in these places a blue-eyed beauty named Mashuko, who loved a young horseman. Her lover died in battle, and Mashuko's grief was so strong that she petrified and turned into a mountain. And the tears that the unfortunate girl shed came out of the ground in the form of keys. And they have miraculous powers...
Information about the healing springs of Mashuk really goes back to very ancient times. The Arab traveler Ibn Battuta in the 14th century reported about five mountains and springs of hot water located in them, in which the Turks bathed. One of the heights next to Mashuk was called Beshtau (“Pyatigorye”). Rumors about the local Nart-Sane, the “hero-water,” spread far beyond the borders of the region.
Soldiers from the Konstantinovskaya fortress, built at the foot of the mountain in 1780, were among the first to appreciate the merits of the Mashuk springs. Bathing in hot springs replaced servicemen's baths. Rheumatic and skin diseases disappeared from such “sanitation”. Pilgrims from all over Russia flocked to Hot Waters, as the town that arose here began to be called (later it was renamed Pyatigorsk). In 1803, Alexander I issued the highest decree “on the recognition Caucasian waters healing area of national importance." To this day, people come here, hoping to improve their health and be healed of illnesses, and maybe, like the king in Ershov’s fairy tale “The Little Humpbacked Horse,” and find a second youth after swimming in living water.
Stone Tenderness
This is what one of the Caucasian dolmens looks like
And those who need not physical, but mental healing, can turn for help to one of the main sacred attractions of the Caucasus - dolmens. Quite a few of them are found at the confluence of the Pshada and Doguab rivers, about forty kilometers from Gelendzhik beyond the Mikhailovsky Pass. The structures are in the form of large boxes covered with flat slabs, built 2000-4000 years ago.
And in total there are about 2.5 thousand of them! Along the Black Sea coast you can find tiled dolmens, entirely carved out of the rock, structures made from a combination of stone slabs and blocks laid in two or more rows.
Each dolmen has its own appearance and even name. They say that each of them carries a special energy charge. Dolmen Khan, for example, improves health and mobilizes the body's defenses. Dolmen Tenderness is considered feminine.
His spirit helps in everything related to motherhood and children. The May Dolmen will protect you from unrequited love, give you happiness in marriage, and help you attract the heart of your loved one. Dolmen Tor focuses on achieving the goal of your path.
God's Hut
Pagan sanctuary Rekom, located in the Tseysky Gorge
However, even local population cannot confidently answer the question about the purpose of dolmens. There are others in the Caucasus ancient monuments who are revered. For example, the pagan sanctuary Rekom, located in the Tseyskoye Gorge. Here people have long worshiped and made sacrifices to the god Uastirdzhi, the patron saint of men. Women, as a rule, were not allowed here.
A log house made of pine logs was built without a single nail, using the traditional ancient method - oblo (each subsequent log was adjusted to fit the notch in the previous one). Decorative finials with pagan symbols rise on the roof. Inside on the wall there is a shelf with skulls of sacrificial animals: deer, rams, aurochs. There is also a wooden bowl with coins and paper money.
Tradition says that Uastirdzhi decided to build a sanctuary for the Ossetians from the “eternal tree” - larch. She grew up at the other end of the mountain range. Then God ordered his oxen to cross the glacier and bring trees. They say that they themselves fell into the carts. And upon arrival at the place, the carts themselves emptied themselves, and miraculously a log house grew in the clearing.
Ossetian warriors once left broken arrows and tips in the sanctuary; beer was brewed in copper cauldrons for festive feasts and honoring mountain spirits. Before the battle, the warriors performed the rite of fraternization - they broke two arrows, after which they became blood brothers.
It was believed that a personal item left in Recom would bring its owner the favor of the gods. This tradition continues to this day. Nowadays, the holy place is usually visited on major Ossetian holidays, for example, on the day of men born in a year - Kakhtsgenen. And young people go up to Rekom before joining the army. They say that many dreams come true.
Unfortunately, in 1995 ancient building burned by a lightning strike. There was talk that this was no accident: the modern generation had forgotten its gods and spirits and was mired in sins.
A team of enthusiasts set about restoring the sanctuary according to the surviving drawings. Before construction began, they fasted for a whole week, and began every day with prayer. Ancient technology was complied with, however, the structure had to be built from pine - larch is almost never found in the mountains today.
To this day, in order to soften the anger of Uastirdzhi, Ossetians annually hold a holiday dedicated to this deity in the area of the sanctuary. They brew beer, slaughter sacrificial animals, have fun and compete in dancing, singing, horse racing, archery, and hand-to-hand wrestling. And priests, appointed from each village, go around the ranks of pilgrims and collect offerings.
Researchers argue about the dating of the monument. Some attribute it to the Koban culture, which existed about a thousand years BC. But according to lichenometric analysis (i.e., determining age by the size of lichen spots on stone blocks or wooden frames), Rekom could not have been built earlier than the 12th century.
Elbrus Prometheus
Statue of Prometheus in Sochi in the place where, according to legend, Zeus ordered him to be chained to a rock
Elbrus is famous for the fact that none other than the famous ancient Greek god Prometheus lives there. How is this possible?
The name of the mountain comes from the Persian “Alborz”, which is mentioned in the sacred Avesta. Some researchers also believe that this is Mount Alatyr from the Russian sacred tradition, the “hero mountain”. Only the ancients called it in their own way - Alatavr, and “taurus”, as you know, means “bull” in Greek. For Slavic pagans, the bull symbolized the god Veles. The Slavic-Russian tribes believed that Alatyr Mountain is an altar at the throne of the Almighty. And on its slopes there are earthly paradise and hell (in Slavic - Iriy and Peklo). By the way, Elbrus corresponds to the description of the mountain, at the foot of which, according to legend, Prince Kiy, the son of Arius (the ancestor of the Aryans) and the grandson of the sun god Yar, founded the ancient city of Kyiv (Kiyar), even before the “mother of Russian cities.” In Slavic myths, Kiyar is a holy city, the spiritual capital of the world, something like the Himalayan Shambhala.
On the same mountain, according to legend, the Fire God (who gave fire to people) was crucified. The Russians called him Veles, Simargl and Finist, the Iranians called him the Firefeathered Simurgh, the Indians called him Agni Promati (“the one who warms”), and the ancient Greeks called him Prometheus. But the most common legend is about a god who appears in the guise of a huge bird (among the Slavs it is Finist - the Clear Falcon, well known to us from Russian folk tales; among the Persians it is the divine bird Simurgh). As for Prometheus, Aeschylus reports that this titan was chained to a rock in the mountains of Scythia. And Cicero attributes to the hero the words that his blood oozes “on the rocks of the Caucasus.”
It is difficult to judge whether Elbrus is related to Greek mythology. However, in 1838, Russian historian V.V. Passek wrote in “Essays on Russia”: “Almost all of our mountain peoples believe in mountain spirits. The Abkhazians say that on the top of Mount Elbrus there is a terrible abyss, in which groans are heard and the sounds of chains are heard; there lies a chained giant…” And N. Dubrovin, a specialist in the history of the Caucasus, published a study based on folklore records. It says: “On a high snowy mountain, at its very top, there is a huge spherical stone, on which sits an old man with a beard long to his feet, his whole body is overgrown with gray hair, the nails on his feet and hands are very long and look like eagle claws. His red eyes burn like hot coals. On his neck, in the middle of his body, on his arms and legs, there is a heavy chain with which he has been chained since time immemorial...”
There is another legend - about the hero Samo, the ancestor of the Caucasian peoples, who defeated the monster Zahhak. Let's remember another Greek myth - about Theseus and the Minotaur. “Tavr” again!
Nowadays, the mountain is notable for the fact that saucers constantly circle around it. So, in the period from February 18 to February 22, 1989, many people observed luminous objects of various shapes rising from Elbrus. Head of the Electrodynamics Laboratory of Kabardino-Balkarian State University V.I. Altukhov even put forward a version that one of the “UFO bases” is located on the mountain. Attempts have been made to find landing sites, but so far they have all been unsuccessful.
