Information periodically appears that in the forest-tundra, in the north of Yakutia, there are huge metal hemispheres - ufologists consider them to be an ancient base of aliens. The locals call them boilers. For many centuries, this area has been considered forbidden by the Yakuts and Evenks.

Mysterious 8- and 10-meter boilers more than once served as a place to sleep for lost hunters. They are much warmer inside than outside. But the one who decides to use them as a refuge, after that becomes very ill and does not live very long ...

Who scattered these hemispheres across Death Valley? What exactly are the mysterious cauldrons: traces of the creation of ancient civilizations or alien UFOs? Why do they have a detrimental effect on people and animals?

The Yakuts call this legendary place Elyuyu Cherkechekh, which means "Valley of Death". The old people consider it forbidden: “In winter, it is warm under the boilers, like in summer, and the people who spent the night in them inevitably go to “graze the heavenly deer” ...

It's scary to be in the valley, - says the Yakut local historian Aitalina Nikiforova. - The trees are dead, black, around the swamp.

As ancient legends testify, in the middle of the swamps, a flattened arch protrudes from the ground, under which there are many metal rooms. Inside, even in the most severe Yakut frosts, it is warm, like in summer. Curious hunters went inside, even spent the night in these rooms, but then they began to get very sick and died.

Historians

The geographer Richard Maak wrote about the same place in the 19th century:

On the bank of the river Agliy timirnit, which means "The big cauldron drowned", there is a giant cauldron made of copper. Its magnitude is unknown, since only the edge is visible above the ground.

]]> ]]>

The diameter of the flooded boiler is 10 meters

At the beginning of the 20th century, the researcher of ancient cultures, Nikolai Arkhipov, also recorded information about these strange objects:

Since ancient times, there has been a legend among the population of the Vilyui River basin about the presence of huge bronze olguev cauldrons in the upper reaches of this river. This legend deserves attention, since several rivers with the Yakut name Olguidakh, which means "where the boilers are located", are confined to these supposed areas of the location of the mythical boilers. Locals claim that once every hundred years, pillars and balls of fire burst out of the opening hemispheres, directed by the demon Wat Usumu Tong Duurai.

Is there a power plant hidden under the boilers? But what kind of civilization - ancient terrestrial or alien - does this reactor belong to? In the 30s of the twentieth century, a resident of the village of Syuldukar Savvinov spent the night with his granddaughter in the "iron house". They found a flattened reddish archway, where behind a spiral passage were many metal rooms.

]]> ]]> In 1971, the testimonies of an old Evenk hunter were documented that in the area between the Nyurgun Bootur (“Bogatyr”) and Ataradak (“Very large triangular iron prison”) there was an iron hole in which “thin, black, one-eyed people in iron robes. Are these aliens in space suits? And the bunker is their earth base?

Historians and archaeologists have long dreamed of unraveling the mystery of the Vilyui cauldrons. From year to year, attempts were made to find them in the Valley of Death. But they were all unsuccessful. None of the researchers could come close to unraveling the mysterious cauldrons - they simply could not be found!

Lucky only last year - the Czech traveler Ivan Matskerle finally found them!

Aitalina Nikiforova took part in his expedition. She was very difficult.

The area of ​​the Valley of Death is huge, - says Aytalina. - Looking for boilers in the taiga and swamps is like a needle in a haystack. But Ivan gave out a brilliant idea: the territory must be flown around on paramotors - parachutes with motors. And literally on the 3-4th day of the expedition, they found a strange circle with surprisingly even, clear edges, covered with snow. The snow has melted almost everywhere in the taiga, and in that place there is a clear, clear circle in the snow. Then they found a second one. We fixed the coordinates on a satellite navigator, and then got to this place on foot. And they were surprised - metal boilers were powdered with snow!

Disease

]]> ]]> - Before leaving for Yakutia, Ivan turned to a Czech clairvoyant, - says Aitalina. - They had a very specific interest - to find out the location of geopathic zones on the map of the Vilyuisky ulus. The clairvoyant showed four points on the map, but immediately after that she stunned Ivan, saying: “You are going there for your death!” Ivan did not listen: after all, so much time and money was pumped into this expedition that there was simply nowhere to retreat! But just in case, he took with him a metal amulet in the form of several triangles, reminiscent of the Star of David. And set off.

And literally the next day after the discovery of the boilers, Ivan Matskerle suddenly felt unwell:
- I woke up in the morning and immediately felt my head spinning, began to lose consciousness. The pressure and heart were fine, but I seemed to be in a state of extreme intoxication. We waited out the day, but my condition did not improve. When we left this territory, as if by magic, I immediately felt better ...

Scientists

But still, much remained unclear: what kind of metal was used for the mysterious cauldrons? Why do people who have experienced its effects on themselves become very sick and even die? And what civilization do the creatures that created these giants belong to?

The archive of the National Library contains a letter from Mikhail Koretsky from Vladivostok, who claimed that he had found seven such cauldrons:

I have been there three times. The first time in 1933, when I was 10 years old, I went to work with my father. Then in 1939 - already without a father. And the last time - in 1949 as part of a group of young guys. The "Valley of Death" stretches along the right tributary of the Vilyui River. In fact, this is a whole chain of valleys along its floodplain. All three times I was there with a Yakut guide. We went there not from a good life, but from what is there in this wilderness, it was possible to wash gold without expecting a robbery or a bullet in the back of the head at the end of the season.

All our attempts to break off even a piece from the strange cauldrons were unsuccessful. The only thing I managed to carry away was the stone. But not simple - a half of an ideal ball with a diameter of 6 cm. It was black, did not have any visible traces of processing, but was very smooth, as if polished. I picked it up from the ground inside one of those cauldrons. I brought this souvenir with me to Samarka, Chuguevsky district, Primorsky Territory, where my parents lived in 1933. He lay idle until his grandmother decided to rebuild the house. It was necessary to insert glass into the windows, and there was no glass cutter in the whole village. I myself tried to scratch the halves of this stone ball with an edge (face) - it turned out that it cuts with amazing beauty and ease. After that, my find was used many times as a diamond by all relatives and friends. In 1937, I gave the stone to my grandfather, and in the autumn he was arrested and taken to Magadan, where he lived without trial until 1968 and died. Now no one knows where that stone went...

As for the mysterious objects, there are probably a lot of them, because in three seasons we saw 7 such “cauldrons”. All of them seem to me completely mysterious: firstly, the size is from 6 to 9 meters in diameter. Secondly, they are made of an incomprehensible metal. The fact is that even a sharpened chisel does not take boilers (they tried it more than once). Metal does not break off and is not forged. Even on steel, a hammer would certainly leave noticeable dents. And this metal is covered on top with a layer of an unknown material, similar to emery. But this is not an oxide film and not scale - it is also neither chipped nor scratched. We did not meet wells with rooms that go deep into the earth, which are mentioned in local legends. But I noted that the vegetation around the "cauldrons" is anomalous - not at all like the one that grows around. It is more lush: large-leaved burdocks, very long vines, a strange grass one and a half to two times taller than human height. In one of the boilers we spent the night with the whole group (6 people). We did not feel anything bad, we left quietly without any unpleasant incidents. Nobody got seriously ill. Unless one of my friends completely lost all their hair in three months. And on the left side of my head (I slept on it) there were 3 small sores the size of a match head each. I treated them all my life, but they are up to today did not pass.

Based on Koretsky's letter, one can assume the presence of a slightly increased radioactive background around the “boilers”. Giant vegetation around them, sores on the head that do not heal, hair that has fallen out are clear symptoms of radioactive exposure. Variants are possible: either the “boilers” are made of radioactive metal, or some artificial sources of radiation such as isotope generators are structurally included in their walls? ..

The only eyewitness known to us, Koretsky, believes that “boilers” are HUMAN WORK, if they were extraterrestrial, they would be a little stronger. As evidence, he explains: in 1933, he heard from a Yakut guide that 5-10 years ago he discovered several absolutely new and absolutely round boilers-balls, which protruded high, 2-3 meters from the ground. But later, after a dozen or two years, an Evenk hunter saw these aggregates already split and scattered. Having visited another “boiler” also twice, Koretsky noticed that over the past few years, the object, as it were, under the influence of its own weight, noticeably plunged into the ground (into permafrost!). This means that since the immersion occurs at a fairly noticeable speed, the “boilers” themselves appeared not so long ago. But if the “cauldrons” were made by earthlings and, moreover, relatively recently in the Middle Ages, then whoever did it is useful to remember that the local peoples would not be able to produce even a small copy of such things, this requires at least a highly developed production.

In 1999-2000, the researcher A. Gutenev, having read Koretsky's story, came to the conclusion that he had many inaccuracies in the descriptions of the area, too many even if he was there as a child.

Several attempts have been made to find the Valley of Death. In 1962-63, the geologist V.V. Poroshin tried to find it on the northern bank of the Berende River (flows into the Namana west of Tuobuya), however, he found only strange settlements of people hiding from civilization. In the 1990s, A. Gutenev and V. Mikhailovsky were searching for this place. In July 1996, an expedition to Aikhal was prepared by Kosmopoisk, however, it did not reach the appointed place for technical reasons.

In the summer of 1997, a group of 2 people (V. Uvarov and A. Gutenev) left for this area, who, with the help of sponsors, paid for the work of specialists in the local aerial photographic archive, where they discovered “something interesting” in the photographs of the area. We left for the place, however, the helicopter with provisions was late, other domestic difficulties arose, and we had to clench our hearts to return back without finding anything ...

In October 1999, journalist Nikolai VARSEGOV ["KP" 1999, October 16] was inquiring on the spot about the location of the Valley. In August 2000, A. Gutenev again went to one of the alleged locations of the Valley, but this time the instruments did not give unequivocal confirmation of the existence of metal structures in the soil ...

Something similar is regularly observed both in the Altai Mountains and in the Kalmyk Black Lands ... And there are clearings where mysterious metal structures are piled up, either twisted, overgrown with moss, or even brand new. Sometimes - when at night, when during the day (but never on Sundays and very rarely on the 13th) a roar is heard in the sky, dazzling white crosses flash, and another “metal monster” appears on the ground. In neighboring villages, houses have strange stoves made by local craftsmen from details of clearly extraterrestrial origin. There, too, stories are retold about shepherds and hunters who found pieces of iron “not at all like anything else,” for example, small silvery cylinders are hot and do not cool down for months; then these people died...

All these riddles have a completely earthly origin. Stamps of Russian and Ukrainian factories are clearly visible on strange metal fragments. It's about about the places where spent rocket stages fell. And since spacecraft (ships with astronauts, spy satellites, scientific stations) are launched along quite certain routes from year to year, “zones” have formed on the surface of the Earth, where mangled aluminum tanks of launch vehicles, other fragments of “space metal” are piled up almost in heaps. ". They say that in the Altai Mountains there is a whole village where nozzles of spent rocket stages were adapted for stoves; fortunately, there are two dozen of them on each Soyuz. They also say that an illiterate Kazakh shepherd was very happy to find the RTG (radioisotope thermoelectric generator) left from the emergency launch ), since the thing never cooled down, and it was very convenient to warm up near it on cold dark nights, and when the soldiers sent from Baikonur found the lost RTG in the yurt, under a layer of blankets, it was no longer possible to save the “lucky one”. does all this look like the legends about the Vilyuisk "Valley of Death"?

And Yakutia, at the same time, quite officially is one of the zones where fragments of carriers launched in Kazakhstan should fall. But the fact is that the legends that we mentioned at the beginning were born a very long time ago - when humanity had not yet thought about going into space ...

A strange area, located 200 kilometers from Mirny, along the floodplain of the right tributary of the Vilyui River, locals called the Valley of Death. In the past, the nomadic trade route of the Evenks passed through this place, and therefore eyewitness accounts have been preserved that in that place there is a huge copper cauldron dug into the ground, or as it was called, the Iron House.

Local hunters sometimes spent the night in his premises, which "kept summer warmth in severe frosts, which did not have the most favorable effect on health - after that people were very sick or died. The Yakuts living on the banks of the Vilyui River have a legend about incredible events that took place in these places many centuries ago. According to legend, in ancient times, from a certain metal pipe, which was underground, from time to time a column of fire escaped.

In this chimney lived the "fireball-throwing" giant Wat UsumuTongDuurai. Translated into Russian, the name of the monster means "the villain who made a hole in the Earth, hiding in a hole and destroying everything around."

In the north-west of Yakutia, in the Upper Vilyui region, there is a difficult terrain with traces of some grandiose cataclysms - solid fallouts of forests, which are about 800 years old, stone fragments scattered over hundreds of kilometers. In this area, incomprehensible metal objects are dispersed, located deep underground, in the permafrost. Their presence is manifested on the surface of the earth only by patches of bizarre vegetation. The ancient name of this area is "Uluyu Cherkecheh", which means "Valley of Death".

For many years, the Yakuts have bypassed this remote region for a hundred miles, which has played and continues to play a special, fateful role in the fate of not only civilization, but the entire planet.

Having systematized a large number of disparate messages and materials, we decided to tell you about what, perhaps, will change our ideas about the world around us and about the place of a person in it, if people take into account everything that will be presented below.

In order to convey the picture most fully, we will divide the story into three parts, the first of which will contain facts and eyewitness accounts in the form in which they have come down to us. In the second part, we will offer you the ancient legends of the peoples who lived in those places, and the epics of neighboring peoples who observed strange phenomena. This is important so that you can do your own research and feel every detail of the story for yourself. And then we'll tell you what's behind it all.

Part one.

The area that will be discussed can be described as continuous swamps, which alternate with difficult taiga, on an area of ​​​​more than 100 thousand square meters. km. It is also surrounded by rather curious rumors about the dispersal of metal objects of unknown origin on it.

In order to shed light on what was barely perceptibly adjacent to us, giving rise to these rumors, we had to touch on the ancient history of this region, get acquainted with its traditions and legends. It was possible to restore some elements of local paleotoponymy, and they miraculously merged with the content of ancient legends. Everything pointed to the fact that legends and rumors mean very specific things.

In ancient times, the ancient Evenk nomadic path passed through the "Valley of Death", from Bodaibo to Annabar and further to the coast. Until 1936, the merchant Savvinov traded on it, and when he retired, the inhabitants gradually left those places.

Finally, the elderly merchant and his granddaughter Zina decided to move to Suldyukar. Somewhere in the interfluve area of ​​​​Heldyu (translated from the local - "iron house"), the grandfather brought his granddaughter to a small, slightly flattened, reddish arch, where, behind a spiral passage, there were many metal rooms in which they spent the night.

As the grandfather assured, even in the most severe frosts they are warm, like in summer. In ancient times, there were daredevils among the local hunters who spent the night in these rooms. But then they began to get very sick, and those who spent the night several times in a row generally died rapidly. The Yakuts said that the place is "very thin, swampy and the beast does not go there!" The location of all these structures was known only to the old people, who from their youth were engaged in hunting, and at one time often visited these places. They led a nomadic lifestyle, and knowledge of the terrain - where you can go and where you can not, was dictated by vital necessity. Their descendants have already led settled life Therefore, this knowledge was lost over time. At present, the presence of these constructions is indicated only by local, partially preserved paleotoponymy, and all kinds of rumors. But each of these toponyms is hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers.

In 1936, near the river Oiguldakh (a place with a boiler), at the behest of the old men, a geologist stumbled upon a smooth metal hemisphere of a reddish color, of large diameter, protruding from the ground, with such a smooth edge that it "cuts a nail." The thickness of its wall was about 2 cm. It protruded from the ground by about one-fifth of its diameter. It stood tilted so that it was possible to drive under it on horseback. He sent the description he made to Yakutsk.

In 1979, an archaeological expedition from Yakutsk tried to find the hemisphere discovered by a geologist. They had an old guide with them, who in his youth had seen this structure more than once, but, according to him, the place had changed a lot, and they did not find anything. It should be said that there you can walk ten steps from the desired object and not notice it, so that until now they have come across purely by chance.

Even in the last century, the well-known researcher Vilyui R. Maak, noted: "In Suntar / a Yakut settlement / I was told that on the upper Vilyui there is a river" Algy timirbit "(which means" a big cauldron drowned "), which flows into Vilyui. Not far from its shore, in the forest, there is a giant cauldron made of copper. Its size is unknown, since only the edge is visible above the ground, but several trees grow in it ... "(1853)."

The same fact is noted by the researcher of the ancient cultures of Yakutia N.D. Arkhipov: ": Among the population of the Vilyuy river basin, since ancient times there has been a legend about the presence in the upper reaches of this river of enormous bronze cauldrons - olguevs. This legend deserves attention, since several rivers with the Yakut name "Olguidakh" - "Boiler" are associated with these supposed areas of the location of mythical cauldrons .

Here are the lines from a letter that came from another person who visited the "Valley of Death". Mikhail Koretsky from Vladivostok writes: “I visited there three times. The first time in 1933, when I was still 10 years old, I went to work with my father. groups of young guys.

"Valley of Death" stretches along the right tributary of the Vilyui River. In fact, this is a whole chain of valleys along its floodplain. All three times I was there with a guide - a Yakut. We went there not from a good life, but because there, in this wilderness, it was possible to wash gold, not expecting a robbery and a bullet in the back of the head at the end of the season.

As for the mysterious objects, there are probably a lot of them, because in three seasons I saw seven such "cauldrons". All of them seem to me completely mysterious: firstly, the size is from six to nine meters in diameter.

Secondly, they are made of an incomprehensible metal. You wrote that they are made of copper, but I am sure that this is not copper. The fact is that even a sharpened chisel does not take "boilers" (they tried it, and more than once). Metal does not break off and is not forged. On copper, a hammer would certainly leave noticeable dents. And this "copper" is covered on top with another layer of an unknown material, similar to emery. But this is not an oxide film and not scale - it is also neither chipped nor scratched.

We did not meet wells with rooms going deep into the earth. But I noted that the vegetation around the "cauldrons" is anomalous - not at all like the one that grows around. It is more magnificent: large-leaved burdocks, very long vines, strange grass, one and a half to two times taller than human height. In one of the "cauldrons" we spent the night with the whole group (6 people). We didn’t feel anything bad, we left calmly, without any unpleasant incidents. No one was seriously ill afterwards. Unless one of my friends completely lost all his hair after three months. And on the left side of my head (I slept on it) three small sores appeared, each the size of a match head. I treated them all my life, but they have not gone away until today.

All our attempts to break off at least a piece from the strange "cauldrons" were unsuccessful. The only thing I managed to carry away was a stone. But not simple - a half of an ideal ball, six centimeters in diameter. It was black in color, had no visible traces of processing, but was very smooth, as if polished. I picked it up from the ground inside one of those cauldrons. I brought a Yakut souvenir with me to the village of Samarka, Chuguevsky District, Primorsky Territory, where my parents lived in 1933. He lay idle until his grandmother decided to rebuild the house. It was necessary to insert glass into the windows, and there was no glass cutter in the whole village. I tried to scratch the halves of this stone ball with an edge (edge) - it turned out that it cuts with amazing ease. After that, my find was used many times, like a diamond, by all relatives and friends. In 1937, I gave the stone to my grandfather, and in the autumn he was arrested, taken to Magadan, where he lived without trial until 1968, and died. Now no one knows where that stone went...

In his letter, Mikhail Koretsky emphasizes: In 1933, a Yakut guide told him that 5-10 years ago he discovered several cauldrons-balls (they were absolutely round), which protruded high (higher than a man) from the ground. They looked like new. And later the hunter already saw them split and scattered.

Koretsky noted, having visited one "cauldron" twice, that over the past few years it has noticeably sunk into the ground.

Researchers from the city of Mirny A. Gutenev and Yu. Mikhailovsky reported that in 1971 an old Evenk hunter told that in the area between the rivers Nyurgun Bootur (a fiery hero) and Ataradak (a place with a trihedral spear) looks out of the ground just , which gave the name of the area - "Very large" trihedral iron prison. And on the interfluve Khelugir ( iron people) there is an iron hole, and in it lie "thin, black, one-eyed people in iron robes." He said that he could bring people there, said that it was not far, but no one believed him. He is no longer alive...

Another of the objects, apparently, was "buried" during the construction of the dam on the Vilyui, a little below the threshold of Erbiye. According to the story of the builder of the Vilyui hydroelectric power station, when a diversion channel was built and the main channel was drained, a convex metal "bald spot" was found in it. The plan was on fire, and the authorities, having hastily examined the find, ordered to continue work.

There are many stories of people who accidentally stumbled upon such constructions, but without specific signs on a dull, monotonous terrain, it is extremely difficult to find them again.

Once the old people told that the Ottoamokh stream (“holes in the earth”) flows in the tract of Tong Duurai and that there are vents of incredibly great depth, called “laughing abysses”. The same name also appears in legends, which say that a fiery giant lives there, destroying everything around. Approximately every 6-7 centuries, a monstrous "bolide" escaped from there, which either flew off somewhere far away and (judging by the annals and legends of other peoples) exploded there, or the explosion occurred right above the place of departure, as a result of which the area within a radius of hundreds of kilometers turned into a scorched desert with shattered rocks.

Yakut legends contain many references to explosions, fiery whirlwinds and the rise of flaming balls. And all these phenomena are somehow connected with the mysterious metal structures found in the "Valley of Death".

Some of them are large round "iron houses" standing on numerous side supports. They have no windows or doors - only at the top of the dome there is a "spacious manhole.

Some of them almost completely sank into the permafrost - only a barely noticeable bulge, like an arch, remained on the surface. Eyewitnesses who do not know each other, but who saw this "thundering iron house", describe it in the same way.

Other objects are metal hemisphere covers scattered in different places, covering up who knows what. But the Yakut legends say that the mysterious flaming balls "a vent that belches smoke and fire" With "slamming steel lid".

Fire tornadoes also fly out from there, which, according to descriptions, are similar to the effects of modern nuclear explosions. Approximately a century before each explosion, or series of explosions, a rapidly flying fireball flew out of the "iron vent" and, without causing great disasters, soared upwards in the form of a thin column of fire. At its top there was a very large "fireball". Accompanied by four thunders in a row, he rushed to an even greater height and flew away, leaving a long "fiery-smoke trail" behind him.

Then, from afar, came the cannonade of his explosions...

In the 1950s, the military became interested in this area, apparently due to the exceptional sparseness of its northern outskirts. They conducted a series of nuclear explosions on it. One of the explosions occurred under very mysterious circumstances. Foreign experts are still perplexed about this. As the Deutsche Welle radio station reported in September 1990, in 1954, when testing a 10 kt nuclear device, the explosion, for unknown reasons, exceeded the calculated parameters by 2-3 thousand times, i.e. reached a power of about 20-30 megawatts, which was recorded by all seismic stations in the world. The reason for such a significant discrepancy in the power of the explosion remained unclear. TASS issued a statement that a compact H-bomb, but as it turned out later, this statement was not true.

After testing on the ground, there were restricted areas. Secret work was carried out for several years.

Part two

Let's try to look into the distant past, reflected in the epic material.

As legends passed from mouth to mouth testify, in those distant times, when everything began, this area was inhabited by a few nomadic Tungus. One day, their distant neighbors saw how an impenetrable darkness suddenly enveloped her, and a deafening roar shook the surroundings. A hurricane of unprecedented strength arose, powerful blows shook the earth. Lightning split the sky in all directions. When everything calmed down and the darkness cleared, an unprecedented picture opened up before their shocked eyes. In the midst of the scorched earth, a tall vertical structure shone in the sun, visible from a distance of many days' journey.

For a long time, the structure emitted unpleasant, ear-piercing sounds and gradually decreased in height until it completely disappeared underground. In place of the submerged high-rise structure, a huge vertical "vent" gaped. According to the bizarre descriptions of the legends, it consisted of three tiers of "laughing abysses". In its bowels there was supposedly a hollow underground country with its own, but "flawed" sun. A suffocating stench rose from the vent, and therefore they did not settle near it. From the side it was seen how sometimes a "rotating island" appeared above the vent, which then turned out to be its "slamming lid". Who, out of curiosity, tried to penetrate this territory, did not return back.

Centuries have passed. Life went on as usual... Nothing foreshadowed any events, but once there was a small earthquake, and a thin "fiery tornado" pierced the sky. A dazzling fireball appeared at its top. This ball, accompanied by "four thunders in a row", leaving behind a fiery trail, rushed to the ground along a gentle trajectory and, hiding behind the horizon, exploded. The nomads were worried, but did not abandon their habitable places, since this "demon", without harming them, exploded over a neighboring, warlike tribe. A few decades later, history repeated itself: the fiery "ball" flew off in the same direction and again destroyed only the neighbors. Seeing that this "demon" is, as it were, their protector, legends began to be composed about him, calling him "Nyurgun Bootur" ("fiery daring").

But after a while, something happened that plunged even the most remote outskirts into horror: From the vent, with a deafening roar and roar, a giant fireball escaped and ... exploded right here. There was a strong earthquake. Some hills cut cracks more than a hundred meters deep. After the explosion, the "fire sea" splashed for a long time, over which a disk-shaped "rotating island" hovered. The consequences of the explosion spread over a radius of more than a thousand kilometers. They all died out from some strange, hereditary disease, but they left behind detailed information about what had happened, on the basis of which olonkhout storytellers began to compose beautiful and unusually tragic legends.

A little over 600 years have passed. By that time, many generations of nomads had changed. The covenants of the ancestors were forgotten, and the area was again populated. And ... everything happened again. Above the fiery whirlwind, the ball of "Nurgun Bootur" arose and again flew beyond the horizon, where it exploded. A few decades later, the second fireball went into the sky (now it was already called "Kun Erbiye" - "shining air herald, messenger"). Then a devastating explosion struck again, also "humanized" by legends. He received the name "Wat Usumu Tong Duurai", which can be roughly translated as "a criminal alien who made a hole in the ground and hid in the depths, destroying everything around with a fiery whirlwind."

It is important that on the eve of the departure from the "vent" of the negative hero Tong Duurai, the herald of heavenly Dyesegei appeared in the sky - the hero Kyun Erbiye, who "falling star", "lightning faster", crossed the sky to warn Nurgun Bootur about the upcoming battle.

The most significant event in the legends was the departure from the underground depths of Tong Duurai and his battle with Nurgun Bootur. It happened something like this: first, a snake-like branching fiery tornado escaped from the "vent", on top of which a gigantic "fireball" also arose, after several thunder strikes rushing high into the sky. Together with him, his retinue flew out - "a swarm of fatally bloody tornadoes" that created destruction on the ground.

But there were times when Tong Duurai met with Nurgun Bootur over the place of his departure, after which the area remained lifeless for a long time.

In general, the picture of these events is quite diverse: several "fiery heroes" could fly out of the "vent" at once, fly some distance and explode in one place. The same thing happened with the departure of Tong Duurai. Soil layers indicate that the time between explosions does not exceed 600 - 700 years.

Legends vividly reflect these events, but the lack of writing did not allow them to be documented. It seems that this gap was filled by the historical chronicles of other peoples.

Chronicles of other nations

In total, there were several explosions with an approximate interval of 600-700 years, or rather, a complex of these events, including precursors.

All these events were meticulously set aside in the epic material, in its traditions and legends. It is interesting that similar legends also appeared in the equatorial zone of the planet, when, due to explosions that suddenly appeared in the sky, "giant fireballs" destroyed some centers of ancient civilizations.

Judging by the results of archaeological research conducted on the Upper Vilyui by S.A. Fedoseyeva, intermittent-wave-like settlement of this territory begins to be traced approximately from the 4th millennium BC. line historical development breaks off, which does not contradict the possible date of the last explosion, which occurred in September 1380. The dense cloud he raised eclipsed for several hours sunlight over Europe. Strong earthquakes have occurred in some geoactive zones. This event is already noted by written sources. In the Russian chronicles, it coincided with the Battle of Kulikovo: ": the darkness dispelled only in the second half of the day. The wind was blowing so strong that an arrow fired from a bow could not fly against it ..." This factor turned out to be favorable for the victory of the Russian troops.

Tungus legends describe these explosions much brighter than other sources. Judging by their descriptions, this is something worse than modern nuclear weapon, in many times.

If we take the year 1380 as a starting point and delve into the past, we can note such moments. For example, in 830, the culture of the Maya Indians, who inhabited the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, was destroyed. Many of their cities were destroyed by one, gigantic force blow. Akin to the Yakut legends and some biblical legends - descriptions of the Plagues of Egypt, the death of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. In one of the oases of the Arabian desert, an ancient city was destroyed and literally incinerated. According to legend, this happened during the explosion of a huge fireball that suddenly appeared in the sky. In the Indian town of Mohenjo-Daro, archaeologists have discovered a dead city. Traces of the catastrophe (melted stone wall) clearly indicated an explosion comparable to a nuclear one.

Similar events are described in the Chinese chronicles of the 14th century, where there is mention that far to the north a huge black cloud rose above the horizon and covered half the sky, shooting large stone fragments. Stones from the sky also rained down on Scandinavia and Germany, where several cities caught fire. Scientists have established that these were quite ordinary stones, and suggested that a volcanic eruption had occurred somewhere.

Perhaps the cause of these disasters was Tong Duurai, flying out of the "vent" for many centuries? If Nurgun Bootur blocked half the sky when he appeared, then Tong Duurai significantly exceeded him in size and, going into height, completely disappeared from sight. Note that in the "Valley of Death" at certain intervals, an increased background radiation is recorded, the explanation for which experts do not find.

Paranormal Yakutia. harsh edge almost completely covered dense forests and wetlands. "" ("Elyuyu Cherkechekh" in Yakut) or the Vilyui Valley is located along the tributary of the Vilyui River. According to local residents, no one returns alive from there.

The locals are a deadly place and do not visit and are reluctant to talk about it. Everyone who has been there speaks of an oppressive, depressing, oppressive atmosphere.

For the first time, the traveler Richard Karlovich Maak, who made an expedition there in the middle of the 19th century, told the world about the mysterious objects in the upper reaches of the Vilyui River. In a report to the Russian Geographical Society, he described large metal cauldrons buried in the ground. He decided that they were made of copper. Maak saw only the edges of these cauldrons.

Among the locals, these strange reservoirs enjoyed a bad reputation. There are several illustrations depicting mysterious Yakut cauldrons. For example, in one picture there is an inverted cauldron into which a local hunter is apparently going to look. Inside the boiler it is much warmer even in severe frosts, and some hunter used to climb there in winter to warm up and even spend the night. But then he quickly fell ill and died.

The existence of these metal structures was confirmed three times from 1933 to 1947 by Mikhail Koretsky, a gold digger from Vladivostok. He happened to be in a place where seven domed cauldrons with a diameter of 7 to 9 meters rose from the ground. Koretsky went there three times from 1933 (as a 10-year-old boy with his father) to 1949. Mikhail unsuccessfully tried to pick out a piece of this strange metal from which the boiler was made. But he managed to find inside the cauldron a half of an ideal ball with a diameter of 6 cm. The ball was absolutely smooth, as if polished, black. It turned out that the edge can easily cut something, such as glass, effortlessly like a diamond. Everyone used it. Then, in 1937, Koretsky presented this priceless find to his grandfather, who was soon arrested and the artifact disappeared without a trace.

According to Koretsky's descriptions, the surface of the cauldrons looked like emery. It was impossible to scratch and even more so to pick at least a piece. And the vegetation inside was different, it was more magnificent than outside. Grass one and a half human height. Koretsky was there for the third time in 1949 with a group of young guys. There were six of them. They spent the night in one of the boilers, but there were no unpleasant sensations. No one died, but one lost all his hair after three months, and Koretsky developed three incomprehensible sores the size of a match head on the left side of his head. They never went away despite the treatment, they remained forever. But they didn't cause any concern. These effects still point to radiation. Perhaps the composition of the metal includes radioactive isotopes.

Interestingly, Koretsky refers to a Yakut who, around 1923-1928, saw several boilers that towered 2-3 meters above the ground. They looked absolutely round and new. But after 10 years they were already split and scattered. It turns out that the boilers plunged under the pressure of their own weight into the permafrost rather quickly.

♦

In search of an answer, Czech ufologist Ivan Makerle went to the Valley of Death in 2012 with a group of enthusiasts. He wanted to make sure it wasn't a myth and form his own unbiased opinion. The area of ​​the valley is huge, so they used a paraglider with a motor to explore the area. And on the fourth day of the expedition from the air they noticed a strange, clear circular area in the middle of the wetlands. Then another. We fixed the coordinates on a satellite navigator.

When the researchers approached the place, they immediately drew attention to the strange soil under their feet. With every step there was a booming echo, as if they were walking on cauldrons buried in the ground. Later they discovered two more similar sites with high magnetic activity. Makerle thinks. that boilers are buried on each of them. The sensors detected a strong magnetic field. Larger studies could not be carried out.

Soon, the expedition members began to feel unwell. The strange and inexplicable symptoms reminded the researchers of the frightening stories of the locals. Dizziness, nausea, fever, weakness so that it is impossible to move, feeling very intoxicated, it is difficult to drink and swallow food. In addition, for some reason, the pupils dilated. Travelers preferred to leave the dangerous place as soon as possible and immediately, as if by magic, their health was restored. A medical examination after returning home did not reveal any pathologies.

Have the researchers found a burial place for metal boilers? What caused the discomfort? Radiation? According to Yakut legends, mysterious cauldrons were powerful weapon, which remained in these parts after the epic battles of representatives of previous civilizations. The myths describe large-scale clashes between "forest demons". During the battle, fiery projectiles flew out of the ground with a monstrous roar. All the forests, of course, burned down. After the battle was over, such strange metal structures appeared, which eventually sank underground. But from time to time, fireballs fly up from the ground into the sky. According to the local Yakuts, they are sent once every hundred years by the demon Wat Usumu Tong Duurai, who apparently won that fight.

In the thirties of the last century, a local resident named Savvinov spent the night in the "iron house". There he saw a flattened reddish arch, behind which there was a spiral staircase, and beyond it were many iron rooms. In 1971, an Evenk hunter visited the cauldron. He said that he saw an "iron hole" where there are many "thin, one-eyed people in iron robes." Aliens? And what is this metal?

There is a version that these power plants protect our land. For example, they could bring down the Tunguska meteorite. It's relatively close. The explosion was then at an altitude of 5 to 15 kilometers. If a meteorite was shot down from the Earth, then who controls it? Aliens? It is believed that in general meteorites are very fond of Yakutia (and Chelyabinsk for some reason, too). And many (hundreds) of meteorites have already been shot down by these power plants. This is the version. Some meteorites are not exactly meteorites, but someone is trying to bomb us from the outside.

Later, expeditions were sent to the Vilyui Valley more than once, but for various reasons they did not find anything.

P.S. Yakutia is a rather sparsely populated area. And there are a lot of white spots. Some say that all of Yakutia is a paranormal zone. The Patomsky crater is there again. Still, it is believed that Yakutia is a place chosen by aliens. A lot of space alien ships arrive here, they say. There are many places with some kind of field, some unknown energy passing through all objects, some kind of high-frequency radiation. UFOs in the Vilyuska Valley, of course, also fly.

Yakut boilers

The strange area, located 200 kilometers from Mirny, along the floodplain of the right tributary of the Vilyuy River, is called by the locals the Valley of Death. In the past, the nomadic trade route of the Evenks passed through this place, and therefore eyewitness accounts have been preserved that in that place there is a huge copper cauldron dug into the ground, or as it was called, the Iron House.

Local hunters sometimes spent the night in its premises, which "kept summer heat in severe frosts", which did not have the most favorable effect on health - after that people were very sick or died. The Yakuts living on the banks of the Vilyui River have a legend about incredible events that took place in these places many centuries ago. According to legend, in ancient times, from a certain metal pipe, which was underground, from time to time a column of fire escaped.

In this chimney lived the "fireball-throwing" giant Wat UsumuTongDuurai. Translated into Russian, the name of the monster means "the villain who made a hole in the Earth, hiding in a hole and destroying everything around."

In the north-west of Yakutia, in the Upper Vilyui region, there is a difficult terrain with traces of some grandiose cataclysms - solid fallouts of forests, which are about 800 years old, stone fragments scattered over hundreds of kilometers. In this area, incomprehensible metal objects are dispersed, located deep underground, in the permafrost. Their presence is manifested on the surface of the earth only by patches of bizarre vegetation. The ancient name of this area is "Uluyu Cherkecheh", which means "Valley of Death".

For many years, the Yakuts have bypassed this remote region for a hundred miles, which has played and continues to play a special, fateful role in the fate of not only civilization, but the entire planet.

Having systematized a large number of disparate messages and materials, we decided to tell you about what, perhaps, will change our ideas about the world around us and about the place of a person in it, if people take into account everything that will be presented below.

In order to convey the picture most fully, we will divide the story into three parts, the first of which will contain facts and eyewitness accounts in the form in which they have come down to us. In the second part, we will offer you the ancient legends of the peoples who lived in those places, and the epics of neighboring peoples who observed strange phenomena. This is important so that you can do your own research and feel every detail of the story for yourself. And then we'll tell you what's behind it all.

Part one.

The area that will be discussed can be described as continuous swamps, which alternate with difficult taiga, on an area of ​​​​more than 100 thousand square meters. km. It is also surrounded by rather curious rumors about the dispersal of metal objects of unknown origin on it.

In order to shed light on what was barely perceptibly adjacent to us, giving rise to these rumors, we had to touch on the ancient history of this region, get acquainted with its traditions and legends. It was possible to restore some elements of local paleotoponymy, and they miraculously merged with the content of ancient legends. Everything pointed to the fact that legends and rumors mean very specific things.

In ancient times, the ancient Evenk nomadic path passed through the "Valley of Death", from Bodaibo to Annabar and further to the coast. Until 1936, the merchant Savvinov traded on it, and when he retired, the inhabitants gradually left those places.

Finally, the elderly merchant and his granddaughter Zina decided to move to Suldyukar. Somewhere in the interfluve area of ​​​​Heldyu (translated from the local - "iron house"), the grandfather brought his granddaughter to a small, slightly flattened, reddish arch, where, behind a spiral passage, there were many metal rooms in which they spent the night.

As the grandfather assured, even in the most severe frosts they are warm, like in summer. In ancient times, there were daredevils among the local hunters who spent the night in these rooms. But then they began to get very sick, and those who spent the night several times in a row generally died rapidly. The Yakuts said that the place is "very thin, swampy and the beast does not go there!" The location of all these structures was known only to the old people, who from their youth were engaged in hunting, and at one time often visited these places. They led a nomadic lifestyle, and knowledge of the terrain - where you can go and where you can not, was dictated by vital necessity. Their descendants already led a settled life, so this knowledge was lost over time. At present, the presence of these constructions is indicated only by local, partially preserved paleotoponymy, and all kinds of rumors. But each of these toponyms is hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers.

In 1936, near the river Oiguldakh (a place with a boiler), at the behest of the old men, a geologist stumbled upon a smooth metal hemisphere of a reddish color, of large diameter, protruding from the ground, with such a smooth edge that it "cuts a nail." The thickness of its wall was about 2 cm. It protruded from the ground by about one-fifth of its diameter. It stood tilted so that it was possible to drive under it on horseback. He sent the description he made to Yakutsk.

In 1979, an archaeological expedition from Yakutsk tried to find the hemisphere discovered by a geologist. They had an old guide with them, who in his youth had seen this structure more than once, but, according to him, the place had changed a lot, and they did not find anything. It should be said that there you can walk ten steps from the desired object and not notice it, so that until now they have come across purely by chance.

Even in the last century, the well-known researcher Vilyui R. Maak, noted: "In Suntar / a Yakut settlement / I was told that on the upper Vilyui there is a river" Algy timirbit "(which means" a big cauldron drowned "), which flows into Vilyui. Not far from its shore, in the forest, there is a giant cauldron made of copper. Its size is unknown, since only the edge is visible above the ground, but several trees grow in it ... "(1853)."

The same fact is noted by the researcher of the ancient cultures of Yakutia N.D. Arkhipov: ": Among the population of the Vilyuy river basin, since ancient times there has been a legend about the presence in the upper reaches of this river of enormous bronze cauldrons - olguevs. This legend deserves attention, since several rivers with the Yakut name "Olguidakh" - "Boiler" are associated with these supposed areas of the location of mythical cauldrons .

Here are the lines from a letter that came from another person who visited the "Valley of Death". Mikhail Koretsky from Vladivostok writes:

"I went there three times. The first time in 1933, when I was still 10 years old, I went to work with my father. Then in 1937 - already without a father. And the last time in 1947 - as part of a group of young guys.

"Valley of Death" stretches along the right tributary of the Vilyui River. In fact, this is a whole chain of valleys along its floodplain. All three times I was there with a guide - a Yakut. We went there not from a good life, but because there, in this wilderness, it was possible to wash gold, not expecting a robbery and a bullet in the back of the head at the end of the season.

As for the mysterious objects, there are probably a lot of them, because in three seasons I saw seven such "cauldrons". All of them seem to me completely mysterious: firstly, the size is from six to nine meters in diameter.

Secondly, they are made of an incomprehensible metal. You wrote that they are made of copper, but I am sure that this is not copper. The fact is that even a sharpened chisel does not take "boilers" (they tried it, and more than once). Metal does not break off and is not forged. On copper, a hammer would certainly leave noticeable dents. And this "copper" is covered on top with another layer of an unknown material, similar to emery. But this is not an oxide film and not scale - it is also neither chipped nor scratched.

We did not meet wells with rooms going deep into the earth. But I noted that the vegetation around the "cauldrons" is anomalous - not at all like the one that grows around. It is more magnificent: large-leaved burdocks, very long vines, strange grass, one and a half to two times taller than human height. In one of the "cauldrons" we spent the night with the whole group (6 people). We didn’t feel anything bad, we left calmly, without any unpleasant incidents. No one was seriously ill afterwards. Unless one of my friends completely lost all his hair after three months. And on the left side of my head (I slept on it) three small sores appeared, each the size of a match head. I treated them all my life, but they have not gone away until today.

All our attempts to break off at least a piece from the strange "cauldrons" were unsuccessful. The only thing I managed to carry away was a stone. But not simple - a half of an ideal ball, six centimeters in diameter. It was black in color, had no visible traces of processing, but was very smooth, as if polished. I picked it up from the ground inside one of those cauldrons. I brought a Yakut souvenir with me to the village of Samarka, Chuguevsky District, Primorsky Territory, where my parents lived in 1933. He lay idle until his grandmother decided to rebuild the house. It was necessary to insert glass into the windows, and there was no glass cutter in the whole village. I tried to scratch the halves of this stone ball with an edge (edge) - it turned out that it cuts with amazing ease. After that, my find was used many times, like a diamond, by all relatives and friends. In 1937, I gave the stone to my grandfather, and in the autumn he was arrested, taken to Magadan, where he lived without trial until 1968, and died. Now no one knows where that stone went...

In his letter, Mikhail Koretsky emphasizes: In 1933, a Yakut guide told him that 5-10 years ago he discovered several cauldrons-balls (they were absolutely round), which protruded high (higher than a man) from the ground. They looked like new. And later the hunter already saw them split and scattered.

Koretsky noted, having visited one "cauldron" twice, that over the past few years it has noticeably sunk into the ground.

Researchers from the city of Mirny A. Gutenev and Yu. Mikhailovsky reported that in 1971 an old Evenk hunter told that in the area between the rivers Nyurgun Bootur (a fiery hero) and Ataradak (a place with a trihedral spear) looks out of the ground just , which gave the name of the area - "Very large" trihedral iron prison. And on the interfluve of Khelugir (iron people) there is an iron hole, and in it lie "thin, black, one-eyed people in iron robes." He said that he could bring people there, said that it was not far, but no one believed him. He is no longer alive...

Another of the objects, apparently, was "buried" during the construction of the dam on the Vilyui, a little below the threshold of Erbiye. According to the story of the builder of the Vilyui hydroelectric power station, when a diversion channel was built and the main channel was drained, a convex metal "bald spot" was found in it. The plan was on fire, and the authorities, having hastily examined the find, ordered to continue work.

There are many stories of people who accidentally stumbled upon such constructions, but without specific signs on a dull, monotonous terrain, it is extremely difficult to find them again.

Once the old people told that the Ottoamokh stream (“holes in the earth”) flows in the tract of Tong Duurai and that there are vents of incredibly great depth, called “laughing abysses”. The same name also appears in legends, which say that a fiery giant lives there, destroying everything around. Approximately every 6-7 centuries, a monstrous "bolide" escaped from there, which either flew off somewhere far away and (judging by the annals and legends of other peoples) exploded there, or the explosion occurred right above the place of departure, as a result of which the area within a radius of hundreds of kilometers turned into a scorched desert with shattered rocks.

Yakut legends contain many references to explosions, fiery whirlwinds and the rise of flaming balls. And all these phenomena are somehow connected with the mysterious metal structures found in the "Valley of Death".

Some of them are large round "iron houses" standing on numerous side supports. They have no windows or doors - only at the top of the dome there is a "spacious manhole.

Some of them almost completely sank into the permafrost - only a barely noticeable bulge, like an arch, remained on the surface.

Eyewitnesses who do not know each other, but who saw this "thundering iron house", describe it in the same way.

Other objects are metal hemisphere covers scattered in different places, covering up who knows what. But the Yakut legends say that the mysterious flaming balls "a vent that belches smoke and fire" With "slamming steel lid".

Fire tornadoes also fly out from there, which, according to descriptions, are similar to the effects of modern nuclear explosions. Approximately a century before each explosion, or series of explosions, a rapidly flying fireball flew out of the "iron vent" and, without causing great disasters, soared upwards in the form of a thin column of fire. At its top there was a very large "fireball". Accompanied by four thunders in a row, he rushed to an even greater height and flew away, leaving a long "fiery-smoke trail" behind him.

Then, from afar, came the cannonade of his explosions...

In the 1950s, the military became interested in this area, apparently due to the exceptional sparseness of its northern outskirts. They conducted a series of nuclear explosions on it. One of the explosions occurred under very mysterious circumstances.

Foreign experts are still perplexed about this. As the Deutsche Welle radio station reported in September 1990, in 1954, when testing a 10 kt nuclear device, the explosion, for unknown reasons, exceeded the calculated parameters by 2-3 thousand times, i.e. reached a power of about 20-30 megawatts, which was recorded by all seismic stations in the world. The reason for such a significant discrepancy in the power of the explosion remained unclear. TASS circulated a statement that a compact hydrogen bomb was tested in flight mode, but as it turned out later, this statement was not true.

After testing on the ground, there were restricted areas. Secret work was carried out for several years.

Part two

Let's try to look into the distant past, reflected in the epic material.

As legends passed from mouth to mouth testify, in those distant times, when everything began, this area was inhabited by a few nomadic Tungus. One day, their distant neighbors saw how an impenetrable darkness suddenly enveloped her, and a deafening roar shook the surroundings. A hurricane of unprecedented strength arose, powerful blows shook the earth. Lightning split the sky in all directions. When everything calmed down and the darkness cleared, an unprecedented picture opened up before their shocked eyes. In the midst of the scorched earth, a tall vertical structure shone in the sun, visible from a distance of many days' journey.

For a long time, the structure emitted unpleasant, ear-piercing sounds and gradually decreased in height until it completely disappeared underground. In place of the submerged high-rise structure, a huge vertical "vent" gaped. According to the bizarre descriptions of the legends, it consisted of three tiers of "laughing abysses". In its bowels there was supposedly a hollow underground country with its own, but "flawed" sun. A suffocating stench rose from the vent, and therefore they did not settle near it. From the side it was seen how sometimes a "rotating island" appeared above the vent, which then turned out to be its "slamming lid". Who, out of curiosity, tried to penetrate this territory, did not return back.

Centuries have passed. Life went on as usual... Nothing foreshadowed any events, but once there was a small earthquake, and a thin "fiery tornado" pierced the sky. A dazzling fireball appeared at its top. This ball, accompanied by "four thunders in a row", leaving behind a fiery trail, rushed to the ground along a gentle trajectory and, hiding behind the horizon, exploded. The nomads were worried, but did not abandon their habitable places, since this "demon", without harming them, exploded over a neighboring, warlike tribe. A few decades later, history repeated itself: the fiery "ball" flew off in the same direction and again destroyed only the neighbors. Seeing that this "demon" is, as it were, their protector, legends began to be composed about him, calling him "Nyurgun Bootur" ("fiery daring").

But after a while, something happened that plunged even the most remote outskirts into horror: From the vent, with a deafening roar and roar, a giant fireball escaped and ... exploded right here. There was a strong earthquake. Some hills cut cracks more than a hundred meters deep. After the explosion, the "fire sea" splashed for a long time, over which a disk-shaped "rotating island" hovered. The consequences of the explosion spread over a radius of more than a thousand kilometers. They all died out from some strange, hereditary disease, but they left behind detailed information about what had happened, on the basis of which olonkhout storytellers began to compose beautiful and unusually tragic legends.

A little over 600 years have passed. By that time, many generations of nomads had changed. The covenants of the ancestors were forgotten, and the area was again populated. And ... everything happened again. Above the fiery whirlwind, the ball of "Nurgun Bootur" arose and again flew beyond the horizon, where it exploded. A few decades later, the second fireball went into the sky (now it was already called "Kun Erbiye" - "shining air herald, messenger"). Then a devastating explosion struck again, also "humanized" by legends. He received the name "Wat Usumu Tong Duurai", which can be roughly translated as "a criminal alien who made a hole in the ground and hid in the depths, destroying everything around with a fiery whirlwind."

It is important that on the eve of the departure from the "vent" of the negative hero Tong Duurai, the herald of heavenly Dyesegei appeared in the sky - the hero Kyun Erbiye, who "falling star", "lightning faster", crossed the sky to warn Nurgun Bootur about the upcoming battle.

The most significant event in the legends was the departure from the underground depths of Tong Duurai and his battle with Nurgun Bootur. It happened something like this: first, a snake-like branching fiery tornado escaped from the "vent", on top of which a gigantic "fireball" also arose, after several thunder strikes rushing high into the sky. Together with him, his retinue flew out - "a swarm of fatally bloody tornadoes" that created destruction on the ground.

But there were times when Tong Duurai met with Nurgun Bootur over the place of his departure, after which the area remained lifeless for a long time.

In general, the picture of these events is quite diverse: several "fiery heroes" could fly out of the "vent" at once, fly some distance and explode in one place. The same thing happened with the departure of Tong Duurai. Soil layers indicate that the time between explosions does not exceed 600 - 700 years.

Legends vividly reflect these events, but the lack of writing did not allow them to be documented. It seems that this gap was filled by the historical chronicles of other peoples.

Chronicles of other nations

In total, there were several explosions with an approximate interval of 600-700 years, or rather, a complex of these events, including precursors.

All these events were meticulously set aside in the epic material, in its traditions and legends. It is interesting that similar legends also appeared in the equatorial zone of the planet, when, due to explosions that suddenly appeared in the sky, "giant fireballs" destroyed some centers of ancient civilizations.

Judging by the results of archaeological research conducted on the Upper Vilyui by S.A. Fedoseyeva, intermittent-wave-like settlement of this territory begins to be traced approximately from the 4th millennium BC. the line of historical development breaks, which does not contradict the possible date of the last explosion, which occurred in September 1380. The dense cloud raised by him eclipsed the sunlight over Europe for several hours. Strong earthquakes have occurred in some geoactive zones. This event is already noted by written sources. In the Russian chronicles, it coincided with the Battle of Kulikovo: ": the darkness dispelled only in the second half of the day. The wind was blowing so strong that an arrow fired from a bow could not fly against it ..." This factor turned out to be favorable for the victory of the Russian troops.

Tungus legends describe these explosions much brighter than other sources. Judging by their descriptions, this is something worse than modern nuclear weapons, many times over.

If we take the year 1380 as a starting point and delve into the past, we can note such moments. For example, in 830, the culture of the Maya Indians, who inhabited the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, was destroyed. Many of their cities were destroyed by one, gigantic force blow. Akin to the Yakut legends and some biblical legends - descriptions of the Plagues of Egypt, the death of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. In one of the oases of the Arabian desert, an ancient city was destroyed and literally incinerated. According to legend, this happened during the explosion of a huge fireball that suddenly appeared in the sky. In the Indian town of Mohenjo-Daro, archaeologists have discovered a dead city. Traces of the catastrophe (melted stone wall) clearly indicated an explosion comparable to a nuclear one.

Similar events are described in the Chinese chronicles of the 14th century, where there is mention that far to the north a huge black cloud rose above the horizon and covered half the sky, shooting large stone fragments. Stones from the sky also rained down on Scandinavia and Germany, where several cities caught fire. Scientists have established that these were quite ordinary stones, and suggested that a volcanic eruption had occurred somewhere.

Perhaps the cause of these disasters was Tong Duurai, flying out of the "vent" for many centuries? If Nurgun Bootur blocked half the sky when he appeared, then Tong Duurai significantly exceeded him in size and, going into height, completely disappeared from sight. Note that in the "Valley of Death" at certain intervals, an increased background radiation is recorded, the explanation for which experts do not find.
