Mountain ridge Chests, Khakassia: how to get there, description. Sights of Khakassia. Stone Chest Stone Chest

"Have you seen this thing before?" Li Shuang Yang whispered softly into Li Qiye's ear, sensing the change in his mood. She understood Li Qiye like no one else after so long that she followed him.

But Li Qiye stared at the old man without saying a word, and only the corner of his mouth crept slightly upward, revealing a faint smile.

“I want you to do one simple thing,” the old man said, lifting his head and smiling cheerfully at the crowd: “Anyone who opens this chest will be able to choose one of these three treasures!” Having finished his speech, the old man narrowed his eyes and, bending over in half with laughter, began to slap his palm on the stone chest at his feet.

This statement excited the audience. Incredibly, it seemed as if a huge cake was falling from the sky into their hands. All you need is to open the chest and you can get the True Treasure or the Treasure of Longevity of the Model of Virtue. It was the best deal in the whole world! Therefore, as soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone stared at him, disbelieving their eyes and ears.

"Are you serious?" could not resist and asked the Demon Monarch of the level of the Noble Noble.

Looking sideways at him, the old man smiled: “Yes, it's more real than finding two identical pearls. And this is no joke. My words are gold, I never give up my words. I repeat, whoever opens the chest will be able to choose any of the three treasures. "

"Are there any more conditions?" all of a sudden, everyone wanted to try to bite off a piece of this unexpected happiness that fell on them, and who would have missed such a great opportunity!

“No, there are no more conditions. It doesn't matter at all whether you hit them, stab them or burn them with fire. As long as you can open this stone chest, everything is in your hands! " the old man beamed happy and smiling.

"I, I, let me try ..." suddenly a chaotic crush began, everyone tried to crawl forward and try to open the stone chest on their own.

A little earlier, the old man had already sent the Enlightened Being flying, throwing him out of the Old Street... Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth and this time no one dared to be arrogant and climb forward. There was silence. One clever guy immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Well, all in line!"

And in the next instant, everyone rushed forward, forming a long line. Here, both ordinary disciples and the Noble Nobility, and even the Enlightened Beings met with the Ancient Saints!

However, Li Qiye did not line up with everyone. Taking Li Shuang Yang and Chen Bao Jiao aside, he silently watched the fun from the sidelines.

A whole crowd of people gathered.

“Come on, Come on! Just hurry, others need to try too. Maximum three strikes per person, don't waste your time! " the old man smiled.

"Open up ..." in front of everyone stood the Demon Monarch. He immediately rushed forward and, reaching out with his hand to the chest, grabbed the lock. Confidently lifting the chest, his blood energy poured into the surrounding space, and his demonic aura shot up to the heavens. Every muscle in his body tensed with such an effort that it seemed they could crush mountains. However, even if he gathered all his strength, he could not open the chest.

"Open for me ..." the Demon Monarch did not give up, throwing himself back into his true body. He turned out to be a huge monkey with very sharp double claws. With all his ferocity, he jumped onto the chest, but the stone chest remained indifferent to all his attempts, its lid did not even budge.

“You can't do it. Following!" said the old man, shaking his head.

The Demon Monarch still did not want to give up, however, even with all his strength, he could not open the stone chest. Even with all his unwillingness to admit defeat, there was nothing more he could do. Angered, he stepped aside and watched the commotion.

"Break" the second to get down to business was the Enlightened Being. Opening his mouth, he pulled out a long, bone and very sharp sword, enveloped in Yin energy. The bone sword seemed very intimidating, and its Yin energy seemed to be able to absorb everything around.

"Jingle ..." Despite the strength of the bone sword, the chest did not even budge without receiving any damage. There weren't even any notches on the lid of the chest.

"Clink, clink, clink ..." blows rained down. Each of the blows could split the mountain and send the river in a different channel, but they could not harm the stone chest.

"Next ..." the old man said, shaking his head. He was too lazy to look at this Enlightened Being.

"Open to me ..." roaring, the third practitioner stepped forward. The Temple of Fate appeared over his head, and the Wheel of Life spun non-stop. The energy of his blood turned into bloody needles, which, like lightning, rushed to the chest and pierced its lid.

However, the result remained the same. The chest remained undamaged and closed.

"Next ..." the old man shook his head in disappointment.

Immediately, practitioners, one by one, took turns activating their techniques and using all the means available to them. Odin even tried to use his True Treasure, but the chest didn't give in; another tried to freeze him; the third began pounding on the chest like mad; another even tried the healing water to soften the stone chest ...

However, no matter how many methods they used, no matter what means they used, the chest was not damaged. Finally, the Ancient Saint got down to business. Opening his palm, he began to perfect the sun and moon, absorbing heaven and earth into his hand. All his blood energy and essence of the universe turned into the light of the blade. One blow of this blade could split the earth and open the heavenly surface, but he also failed to split the stone chest.

In the end, almost everyone has already tried their hand, but none of them managed to open the stone chest. The stone chest was like a boulder in a toilet, just as smelly and hard. The hearts of the assembled daredevils were bleeding, they both loved the chest and hated it with all their hearts. Everyone wanted to go out and trample him mercilessly!

This time everyone just looked around helplessly. The stone chest turned out to be a real monster. It was impossible to open it at all!

"Let me try!" out of nowhere came a chilling voice. A suffocating thirst for blood spread throughout the area. Everyone instantly turned pale and took a step back.

Step by step, a girl moved forward, clutching a sword to her chest. She seemed bloodthirsty, like a ferocious monster. This girl ... Cold and insensitive, deadly and terrifying, by her appearance she made everyone present tremble with fear, a murderous aura emanated from him. Her whole body spoke of the intention to kill someone. In one move, she could definitely take the life of anyone.

Despite the fact that the girl tenderly clutched a naked sword to her chest, the others could smell the smell of blood emanating from her and shuddered in fear!

"Heir to the Sacred Land of the Divine Sword!" spontaneously escaped from someone at the sight of a girl dressed in black. Sensing her bloodthirsty and ferocious aura, no one dared come close to her. On the contrary, all at once took a few steps back.

At the sight of the girl in black, people's hearts shuddered. Heir to the Sacred Land of the Divine Sword!

People were afraid of what they heard about this legacy and about this heiress girl. For everyone who hadn't heard anything about the Sacred Land of the Divine Sword, the name sounded extremely scary.

But those who knew the history of the Sacred Land of the Divine Sword ... At the mere mention of this name, their blood froze in their veins!

The Divine Sword Sacred Land was one of the greatest sacred lands in the Eastern Wasteland, as well as the legacy of the Immortal Emperor. Created by the Immortal Emperor Ye Ti, the Divine Sword's Sacred Land prestige extended in all directions.

During the era of the Immortal Emperor E (night) Ti (cry / cry), there was a saying: hearing his name, the children stopped crying throughout the night. Therefore, as soon as the name of the Immortal Emperor Ye Ti was mentioned, the children immediately stopped crying. Therefore, the rest began to call the Immortal Emperor Ye Ti.

Immortal Emperor Ye Chi has skillfully wielded a sword throughout his life. His Sword Tao was excellent and unrivaled. People worshiped him as the Sword God! However, he was a great master of assassination! The Immortal Emperor Ye Ti by means of murder proved his Dao of the Sword and brutally killed his whole life!

Although since ancient times all the Immortal Emperors have killed their enemies, people believed that the Immortal Emperor Ye Ti killed more than others on a whim.

There was even a legend that Ye Ti, in order to prove the unsurpassedness of his Dao Sword, killed his own wife. Despite the fact that no one could confirm the veracity of this legend, it was quite enough for future generations to beware of his merciless bloodthirsty cruelty!

The Sacred Land of the Divine Sword was so strong and powerful that it was considered incomprehensible. Era after era, only a few of the Divine Sword's Sacred Land disciples have met in the world. However, as soon as one appeared, rivers of blood flowed, the smell of which was carried by the wind throughout the district. They were considered gods of death and were very afraid to meet similar ones on their way!

And now in front of the crowd stood a girl, the heiress of the sacred School of the Divine Sword, dressed from head to toe in black clothes. How can you not turn pale? Anyone would be shocked by such news!

The girl, dressed in black, was as cold as her sword — cold as the steel from which it was forged. Standing there, in front of the stone chest, two deadly rays of light shot out from her beautiful eyes and concentrated on the chest.

"Clink ..." and at that very moment in the fire and flame she took a step. No one understood how she was able to free her sword, but in an instant, with one swing, in which all her bloodthirsty irresistible plan was invested, the sword became visible to everyone else. As the blade of the sword swayed, its murderous invincibility made everyone flinch slightly.

Shivers ran down their spines, the backs of their heads went cold, as if all the blood had gone from their bodies. at that very moment, everyone realized that, without causing any harm to the chest, the blade of the sword stopped at the necks of everyone present.

The weight instantly fell to the ground and wetted his pants in fear. They were so frightened by this horrific murderous plot!

"Clink ..." however, even such a terrifying murderous plot was not enough to open the stinking stone chest. Even under the blow of such a sword, the chest did not flinch, not a single scratch remained on it!

Even the girl in black herself could not believe it. She was confident in her sword like nothing else. Even the Divine Ore would not have resisted the blow of her sword, let alone some stone chest. However, the stone chest was still intact, as before. Just unbelieveble.

The girl in black could not resist and glanced ahead with a fierce look, to where the stone chest stood. It seemed that her gaze was capable of destroying the stone chest, so great was her murderous intent!

"You can't do it" the old man shook his head: "Your sword is really not bad, your technique is unsurpassed, but that's not enough either."

Already so many people tried to open the stone chest, but the old man did not take any of them into account. And now he finally praised someone, which means that the girl in black really turned out to be exceptional.

Despite the fact that the girl in black did not manage to open the chest, she felt that it was incredible, but still she did not do anything more and, without saying a word, stepped aside.

The surrounding people immediately moved away from her three steps, not daring to come close to her. No one wanted to offend such a goddess of death. As soon as she was provoked, and everyone would only face death!

For a long time we heard about the legendary Chests in Khakassia, it's time to go personally. Previously, the infa was as follows: there are five mountain outliers, up to 200 meters high, near the village of Iyus, in the Shirinsky region. There were found rock paintings of the Tagar period (IX-III centuries BC), on which you can distinguish people in space suits. Academician V.E. Larichev, who has been studying Chests for more than 30 years, proves that this is the observatory of our ancestors. During the Soviet era, an amusing incident took place here. A tractor accidentally opened a shamanic burial. At the same time, he turned out a large stone on which some drawings were carved. When scientists astroarchaeologists studied them, they were bewitched to the ground. The drawings showed the sky map as seen from the Southern Hemisphere. From this, astronomers began to flatten, archaeologists - to stare.

In addition, this is a cult place, and also - a possible cosmodrome for aliens. But the most interesting thing is the place of power. We went to find out.
Now in detail. First we walked through, which made the right impression. Then we visited, which, on the contrary, severely disappointed us. In a state of emotional imbalance, we went to the Chests.

It started with these pretty horses, from whom we learned the exact path to the Chests.

Go. The huge sky, free spaces and benevolent horses were inspiring. As they explained to us, we need to go from the Shira village to the roadside stone on which “Chests” is written. There and roll up. Indeed, we found this stone and turned.

The places are picturesque! I especially liked the flowers as a symbol of spring. Okay, let's move on. The road is so-so. You cannot accelerate among deep holes, but you can still drive.

Started. In front of the Chests there are mysterious stone rectangles. And who brought these stones and what they designated is also unknown.

Scientists suggest that these are burial grounds.

Here they are, mysterious rectangles in the steppe. However, at that moment I was already more interested in the sky, so promising at sunset.

From the exit from the highway, only 5 km - and we are among the Chests. It is curious that a car came across to us. I saw that my students were selected from there, including my eldest son. We went here without a word. They were delighted to say that they easily found all the points of power. But they moved in the opposite direction. They have already studied the chests, now they are looking for the path of their ancestors. On the contrary, after the ancestral path we are looking for Chests ...

I could not miss such a picturesque swamp ... Unfortunately, there was no time left for shooting. After all, we wanted to find a comfortable place to spend the night before dark.

Beauty is everywhere.

Here are the famous Chests. The energy is impressive. We were without measuring instruments, but subjectively - Chests are even more powerful than Burkhan. You don't need to have any particularly delicate sensitivity to feel a powerful wave.

Here we stopped for the night. Right among the Chests.

We had barely finished our supper when the heavenly show began.

Sunset colors spread over the vast sky. West view.

Turning back to the east is also interesting. Orange clouds creep across the multi-colored sky.

In the west, the sky was rapidly changing colors. More often, yellow colors turned into orange, and then into red. But sometimes it happened the other way around.

I turn around once more. The sky is generally green!

The dynamics of the sunset are clearly visible.

A dog of incredible color came to us. Perhaps a cross between a diver and ... maybe a setter? Having consumed a piece of sausage, the dog was imbued with respect for us and accompanied us until the very end of the journey.

The sky continued to change color.

Suddenly the yellow glow went out. A streak of reds stretches along the horizon. During sunset, a barely audible rumble was heard, just from the west. It died down as soon as the heavenly flame went out.

Then we went to bed. Before that, we have already familiarized ourselves with the stories about the miracles that lie in wait for travelers in these places. Indeed, something like that was, only without the horrors. The reality exceeded expectations. We enjoyed the adventure and it turned out that it was just in time. The morning turned out to be gloomy, at times frightening rain.

The route starts from this point. Everything is clear with the post. A wall is visible behind it, which separated the forbidden territory. For centuries, only priests had the right to be there. But then the Soviet government came, sweeping away religious prejudices along with all the priests. The common people got free access to miracles. True, almost no one knew how to use them. For example, an acoustic miracle is observed in this place. A person, being 200 meters higher up the slope, could speak even in a whisper - here his voice could be heard quite clearly. The scientists casually explained that this acoustic corridor was due to a downdraft of air, and left. The phenomenon exists, but how to use it is also unclear.

A well-trodden path leads along the rocks. In general, there are many people here. Photographers, ufologists, psychics, shamans, yogis, scientists and just tourists. They're coming from all over the world! Some are blindfolded, others chant mantras, and still others say "om". According to rumors, somewhere here there is a portal and a time corridor through which you can look into the past and future. We did not find any corridor. Probably they were looking badly, because they were afraid of rain.

The path clearly shows the best way to go.

The Main Chest makes an impression. Below, in the valley, an irrigation canal is visible.

Amazing, mystical places.

Leaving mysticism for a while, I photograph the flowers.

The yellow spots on the rocks are lichen.

Panorama. Even at this distance, the trail is clearly visible. How many people have passed here? Considering that the oldest petroglyph (White Horse) in this area is 16,000 years old, it turns out ... a lot.

Between the Chests we see a small lake. From there we heard the cry of cranes. Very romantic! And yesterday the larks were pouring.

It would be nice to meet the sunset in this place, to catch the soft light. Now the plan for the next trip is ready ...

The picture was taken from the top of the acoustic corridor.

We went around the First Chest. The faithful dog showed us the way. He was probably bored.

Shots under the First Chest.

View of the First Chest from below.

Vegetation under the First Chest.

After lunch, it still started to rain. So it's time to go back. On the way I see another swamp. The last frames - and then we rush without stops. Preliminary conclusions: the place is very interesting. Powerful energy. Obviously, not every person can be here, from a security point of view. We are already prepared people, for many years we have been traveling around the world, studying different places of power, and even then we were poked here not like a child, up to inappropriate behavior. We will definitely go here again.

Chests -Temple of time of Northern Khakassia. - Here the "Chests" opened slightly and the spirits of the Underworld escaped from them and they rushed, wailing viciously, along the river. Watch out for the dangers! However, if you are strong and ready to perform heroic deeds, then try to look into the "Chests" while they are open. There, if you are successful, you will get living water. She will make you immortal ... Discovering the secrets of this unusual place a wide circle of people wholly belongs to the Novosibirsk scientist Vitaly Larichev, who, with a group of enthusiasts, has been conducting his research in this area of \u200b\u200bnorthern Khakassia for three decades. - A quarter of a billion years ago, five fantastic beauty of the pyramidal mountains, colloquially called the Chests, ascended to Heaven itself. Larichev It all started back in the late 70s, when Larichev began excavating the Malaya Syya settlement in Northern Khakassia. - They unexpectedly made the beginning of the development of Siberia by Homo sapiens more ancient by about 10 thousand years than previously assumed (this event went beyond 30 thousand years!), And the culture itself was very puzzled by the obvious, it seems, improbability - the presence of peculiar ones made of stone art objects. The discovery of such was not supposed in Siberia, as it was believed, the bearish wilderness of the settlement of "reasonable people" of Eurasia. Larichev In the opinion of fundamental science, this could not be, therefore, the results of this discovery were compromised and forcibly interrupted. But it was this event that prompted the scientist to continue his studies of Northern Khakassia in order to find other evidence of the cultural and spiritual past of this territory.
The complex of pyramidal rocks immediately attracted the attention of Larichev and his colleagues, but it was not so easy to get to the Chests at that time. - Places adjacent to the "Chests" are considered dangerous in the district. The reason was not the fear of the raging spirits who were angry there for weeks. The small rivulets, the tributaries of the White Ius - Chernaya and Cheryomushka, just bending around the "Chests" on both sides, when floods turned the area into a dead lowland, where if you were careless you could disappear without a trace. In addition, in the summer, myriads of swamp mosquitoes, clouds of midges made staying there unbearable, and the numerous snakes nesting in the crevices of the rocks turned a walk along the slopes of the mountains and at their foothills into a risky venture. Larichev But scientists had no reason to believe that in ancient times the natural conditions were different. Only two decades before that, work began on draining these wetlands by the USSR Ministry of Water Management, and only in the mid-70s scientists first appeared here. Having walked along the poured land management dams, employees of the North-Khakass expedition of the Institute of History, Philology and Philosophy of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk) began their research on Sundukov. At a superficial examination of the area adjacent to the Chests, from the height of the rocky peaks, it was possible to see the entire territory. - Low-lying, heavily swampy, covered with impassable shrubs and birch groves, a depression along which small rivers, tributaries of the White Ius once meandered, and from under the ground of which many springs of icy water gushed, stretched for tens of kilometers to the north and east. It was surrounded on all sides by mountains, the slopes of which clearly outlined the distant horizon, and the core part was the chain of Chests on the left bank of the main river. They stretched along it, almost coinciding with each other, in a direction close to the north-south azimuth. Larichev
This rocky ridge made a great impression on scientists. Each of the five Chests, especially the First, looked like natural pyramids. From their stone peaks, the eastern and western horizons, as well as points defining the directions, were far visible.
to the astronomical north and south. - All this taken together, and most importantly - the Chests, high above the oversaturated lowlands of an elongated oval basin, could not help but excite anyone who was at least the least bit aware of the cosmogonic concept of the Indo-Europeans, explaining the beginning of the formation of the universe (about the emergence of the World the mountains). Larichev This area perfectly reflected the cosmogony of the ancient inhabitants of this territory. It was hardly possible to find a more suitable for the real personification of the myth about the beginning of the creation of the Universe from the rise of the unprecedented size of the World Mountain from "pristine waters". - The Iyusskaya depression provides two fundamental elements for that - the hard-to-reach areas of swamps, which are a viscous mixture of water and a shapeless mass of "fluid shaky earth" that sucks in all living things of clay mud, and Chests, as if by a miracle, lifted above the "waters". Larichev

World mountain.

In the mythology of many countries of the Earth, the most widespread and fundamental idea is the idea of \u200b\u200bseeing the universe in the guise of the World Mountain rising from the waters of the Primordial Ocean. She, as the ancient philosophers claimed, reached the height of the Sun's orbit. It was because of its mountain slopes that the Moon, the Sun, planets and stars appeared and then disappeared in order to reappear in the sky.
The stable and immobile state in that system was occupied by the North Star, which was at the zenith of the heavenly dome, sparkling directly above the top of the World Mountain.
The Ecumenical Mountain was called by the inhabitants of North Africa and Eurasia in different ways. So, the Egyptians called it Sar or Det, the Chaldeans of the Near East - Garsak Babbar, the Indo-Aryans of the Middle East and Central Asia - Haara Berezaite, the Indians - Su Meru, the Chinese - Kun Lun. Summarizing what is known about the World Mountain, one can describe it in an extremely brief manner as follows: a source of living water gushed out on the rocky summit of the "creation of the ocean". Its four streams flowed down the slopes, giving rise to rivers and lakes of earth and sky. There, at the top, sat the Creator of the Universe himself and the Gods of the highest rank serving him - the rulers of the Universe. At the foot of that mountain lived the first representatives of the human race, as well as animal and plant worlds... Subsequently, at the end of the universal scale of the catastrophe (all-crushing flood), they left the ancestral home, the northern regions of the earth, and settled across the continents, having mastered favorable for cattle breeding and
farming space of middle and southern latitudes.
The myth of the World Mountain remained in demand for many millennia. In particular, it was carefully preserved by representatives of the priestly clans of the Indo-Aryans. The northern area of \u200b\u200bthe land, up to the inaccessible because of the waters, ice and snow debris of the Circumpolar, was perceived by them as the side of the ancestral home, from where the ancestors began their exodus to the southern regions. They left the foothills of the pristine mountain due to the impossibility of living in those parts. This is now seen as the main reason that wherever the Indo-Aryan communities then find themselves, every time the servants of their gods, priests, transformed the most spectacularly picturesque elevation of the area of \u200b\u200bdevelopment for the earthly embodiment of the very universal rank of the World Mountain, with the appearance of which the universe began and where in time great gods appeared, the creators of everything endowed with life. This mountain and the adjacent territories turned into a sacred place. It was arranged in strict accordance with the religiously cult canons of the priesthood. Amazingly, the Iyussky Meru looks like it corresponds to the main canons of the "World Mountain" structure of the Indo-Europeans. Irrigation system.
An equally amazing discovery is a large-scale system of ancient water canals located throughout the valley, in the center of which there is mountain range Chests. This is the so-called Iyusskaya irrigation system... Modern scholars attribute it to the Tagar archaeological culture of 2000 BC. There are several similar systems built on the basis of ancient irrigation canals in the Minusinsk Basin. In addition to Iyusskaya, there are two more large ones: Uybat and Koibal irrigation systems. Below I give a brief description of the irrigation systems I have taken from the book of the famous Soviet archaeologist S.V. Kiselev. "Ancient history of Southern Siberia": - Currently, irrigation systems are presented canals, catchment ponds, artificial lakes. In place of the steppe, where artificial irrigation was used, flooded and dry meadows and areas of woody vegetation arose. Water channels have different widths and depths. Among them are - trunk channels, channels of the 1st and 2nd order... All irrigation systems are filled with water from large rivers in the spring and summer.
Trunk channels - these are the largest canals, they have a depth of 1 to 1.5–2 m and a width of 14 to 20 m. These canals carry the main flow of water from the river to the steppe areas to fields or lakes. There are hydraulic structures on the canals. These include bridges, locks and ferries. In places of such structures, the channel bed is lined with concrete slabs and reinforced with rocky embankments. The bridges are built of concrete blocks with large gaps between them. Iron sluices are hydraulic structures for
regulation of water flow and have various hollow holes and slots. 1st order channels represent ditches, bordered by earthen ramparts. Their depth is about 0.7 m and their width is up to 2-3 m. 2nd order channels (sprinklers) are characterized by a depth of 0.2–0.5 m and a width of up to 1 m. On some systems, there are also transit channels, which carry water to the lakes from the main canal or from one lake to another. An example of this is the transit canals on the Koibal irrigation system. These channels represent artificially dug ditches up to 4–5 m wide and up to 1 m deep, usually with a silty bottom.
In some sections of these canals, shallow water spills are formed in the form of boggy swamps with small open water mirrors and sandy islands in them. Along the edges, these spills are overgrown with reeds, and sandy-muddy shores, uncovered by vegetation, have formed near the water's edge. Water channels are present in all irrigation systems. In addition, catchment ponds or artificial lakes are part of the structure of a particular system.
Catchment ponds - these are artificial pits filled with water, the minimum depth of which is 0.1–0.5 m, and the maximum depth is 1.6–2 m. The ponds have a rectangular shape with an area of \u200b\u200bup to 20 hectares (200x1000 m). Each pond has 2 sluices. One sluice is used to fill the pond from the main canal, and the second is used to descend into the channels of the 1st
order. Artificial lakes - these are large reservoirs with a depth of 5.5 m to 35 m and areas from 155 hectares to 1200 hectares. The restoration of ancient water canals began in 1926 (Uybat irrigation canal) and gained momentum in the second half of the 20th century. By the 70s. XX century, on the territory of the Minusinsk Basin, there were 56 irrigation systems with 318 main canals with a total length of 1450 km, the irrigated area of \u200b\u200babout 70 thousand hectares. But due to the decline in agriculture in the 90s. XX century. most of the irrigation systems are no longer functional. Let's try to figure out what the Iuss irrigation system is of interest to us and what changes were made to it with the arrival of Soviet power in Khakassia. Inspection of the canals on the ground and from satellite images showed that at the moment the irrigation system around the Chests is represented by all types of water canals: main canals, canals of the 1st and 2nd orders. Judging by my observations, the Iyus system has undergone minor changes and now we see almost the same thing that the ancient builders created. The system is based on channels of the 1st order, they are cut by straight lines with a high degree of accuracy, which is clearly visible from satellite images and stretch for many kilometers, breaking the space into regular geometric shapes. Modern "hydro-builders", apparently, only a little extra money with bulldozers already existing before them a network of water canals, equipping them with locks and bridges. The system is fed by the water of the Bely Iyus, Chernaya and Cheryomushka rivers, launching streams throughout the valley, in the center of which is the Chests mountain range. How not to recall the prototype of Mount Meru in Khakassia and the people who lived at its foot, who were engaged in agriculture on the fertile lands around the mountain where the Gods lived. It remains only a mystery how the people of the Bronze Age who did not know iron could create such a global irrigation system by actually digging it up by hand and running water through canals for many kilometers. Orthodox science finds simple answers: thousands of slaves with the help of the tools at hand, doing the hard work. But even if we omit the question of how the Iuss irrigation system was built - there are not many options here, then the authorship of such global projects is not so obvious. Personally, I am inclined to believe that the age of the irrigation system is much older and refers in its ambiguity to the heritage of the most mysterious so-called Okunev culture of 2000 BC, which left us, among other things, sun-like faces on iconic stones; the largest mounds in Central Asia, framed by chains of stone cromlechs and sacred centers like the same Chests. ATit is reliably known that in ancient times a powerful people lived on this territory for a long time, who built stone houses, cult complexes - CBE, skillfully used the land for plant growing, judging by the irrigation systems, and also had quite impressive knowledge (as shown by studies) in scientific fields such asastronomy, calendars, cosmogony and philosophy. It was they who three thousand years ago became the creators of the northern civilization, equal in power to the civilizations of the south of Eurasia. Chests. The structure of the complex. The sacral complex of Sunduki consists of five separate mountain ranges. This chain stretches from north to south and covers an area of \u200b\u200b6 sq. kilometers. Without exception, all the Chests are a kind of take-off platforms - gentle from the west and precipitous from the east. The ancient priests apparently noticed this remarkable feature, as it reflects the power and influence of the Sun. In the east, at sunrise, the luminary has the greatest strength, which decreases simultaneously with the movement of the Sun to the west. The first and the most impressive Chest to the east is crowned with a cuboid stone outlier raised 140 meters above sea level.From there, for tens of kilometers in all directions, the line of the distant horizon is visible, which is ideal for conducting accurate astronomical observations. This circumstance became the starting point for the start of full-scale research of the First Chest by a team of Novosibirsk scientists. In addition, the ancient Khakass name for Chests is Okhonol (the place where the observations were made), which further assured astroarchaeologists, as they call themselves, to begin full-scale research on the First Chest. From the south, the rock is supported by four mountains, which have a similar appearance of rocky ridges. They limit deep canyons, through which water flows in ancient times flowed down, personifications of primordial rivers - the sources of all earthly rivers and filling waters of the "Universal Ocean". Study Of the Fourth Chest led scientists to a new discovery. In the place where thick layers of pink sandstone sank deep into the ground, the remains of ancient tombs appeared. Huge slabs, each weighing hundreds of kilograms, covered the burial chambers, reliably protecting the peace of the dead. It is very likely that this Chest was used in ancient times for the burial of priests, and later for shamans, who knew about the cult significance of this place. Apparently here, in the shaman's grave, according to the stories of local residents, a strange stone was found on which the stars and constellations were depicted. The most famous "epic" of petroglyphs, which tells about the descent of a hero into the lower world, was also found here. I am sure that other Chests in those days also served some sacred purpose, and the absence of finds there is only a consequence of a very superficial study of these mountains. Scientists, led by Vitaly Larichev, focused their attention on the First Chest and over several decades have found enough evidence to explain their versions. - The sacred significance of all these places in the north of Khakassia is confirmed by the numerous sanctuaries on the tops of the mountains, which frame the “Primordial Earth” along the entire perimeter. There, in the closest proximity to Heaven, behind the ramparts and walls made of slabs separating the everyday world from the holy world, the priests offered prayers of the highest rank to the gods. And at the foot of each of the Chests there are many grave fields with palisades of memorial plates. Temples and astronomical observatories were built into the rocky cliffs of the Chests themselves, designed to observe the rising and setting of the stars. Near them, cult-ritual actions were performed in memory of ancestors, for the good of those who live and for the glory of the gods. Larichev First Chest.

- The “Primordial Earth” is remarkable in that the Creator, according to the creation myth, erected a mountain in its center, the top of which reached the orbits of the Moon and the Sun. The First Chest, the grandest of all Chalice Chests, represents an almost perfect reflection of such an idea. Larichev The upper edges of the mountain are long rocky ridges. They limit the vast and deep spaces of three canyons, within which are located astropower stations and proto-temples, created in order to observe the Moon and the Sun at a certain time.
Larichev and his team of like-minded people are sure that 4000 years ago the ancient people who inhabited this territory turned the First Chest into a grandiose Temple of Time. Many years of research convinced them that the ancients had equipped this mountain as an observatory. There were not many strategic periods in the year to observe the luminaries: 1. Spring equinox - March 21. Day is equal to night. The sun rises exactly in the east. 2. Summer Solstice - June 21. Longest day of the year. 3. Autumn equinox - September 23. Day is equal to night. The sun rises exactly in the east. 4. Winter solstice - December 22. The shortest day of the year. Why did the ancient priests need to watch the Sun? - It was the dates of the equinox that were more important than the solstice, because they made it possible to accurately determine the length of the year. Any bad weather could postpone this moment for a year. Elena Gienko Associate Professor of the Department of Astronomy of the Siberian State Geodetic Academy. It is also possible that it was part of their religion of sun worship, such as in the then reigning Egyptian civilization. By the way, Larichev found a lot in common between this civilization and the culture of the ancient people who inhabited the Iuss Valley. The first thing that immediately caught my eye was the shape of the Chest itself, resembling a pyramid with a falcon's head on top. According to Egyptian mythology, the right eye of the falcon is the Sun, the left is the Moon. Another plus in favor of the theory of the astronomical observatory.
According to the calculations of scientists, the ancient priests took a hundred or two hundred years of continuous astronomical observations to create such a complex that has been working for millennia. To observe the luminaries, ancient astronomers did not use cunning devices. The priests found points on the ground from which, on certain days, the Moon or the Sun could be observed in some noticeable rock hole. To remember the observation point, the place was marked with menhirs. And in order to separate the world of Gods from the world of mortals, the priests erected a stone rampart at the foot of the First Chest, which exists to this day. One of the first questions raised by Larichev was this. Is the ancient complex of the First Chest man-made, on a par with the pyramids of Egypt and a very similar in functionality to the astronomical druid complex of Stonehenge? It could be assumed that the sacred object found by astroarchaeologists was of artificial origin and was built by hand ancient man... Suspicions of human intervention are evoked by the spacious openings in the rocky ridges, as if they had been cut down in the rocky sandstone under a certain star. Stone outlier Throne of the Shaman was specially made for observing the winter equinox rising sun and is located on the line White Horse - First Chest.
White horse is a petroglyph located on the neighboring Solbon Mountain, located 3 kilometers northwest of the First Chest. This petroglyph appeared there16 thousand years ago. According to scientists, this is how a group of stars from the constellation Leo was depicted. Then it was from this constellation that the Sun rose on the day of the winter solstice. Hence the observation thaton this day, being at the White Horse, one could see how the sun came out of a stone chest at the top of the mountain. The ancient priests apparently figured out this place and put the designating petroglyph on the rock.
Returning to the version of the possible man-madeness of the First Chest, it should be noted. that it has deep canyons compared to its brethren. According to historians of Khakassia, it is documented that the amphitheater of the first canyon was cut down artificially. The excellent acoustics of this place and the area make it possible to accommodate several thousand people here. Probably, spiritual services were held here, gathering a large number of people, and a priest acted on top of a stone cube. Again how big physical capabilities needed to remove thousands of tons of rock. This work is comparable in scale to the construction of an irrigation system. However, scientists reject the man-made origin of the mountain. - This mountain has absolutely natural origin... She was interesting to the ancient people that they saw in her symbols corresponding to their mythology and religion. Sergei Parshikov. Institute of Physics SB RAS For 30 years of research, Larichev found out. that there are no random holes on the First Chest. It is important to determine what was there and in what period could be observed. - Everything here has been walked and viewed many times over the decades - step by step, kilometer by kilometer, far and wide, and therefore, it seems, you cannot find something new near the fiery red sandstone mountains. But, apparently, the treasures of the rock Chests are inexhaustible, for every next field season was not without a surprise. Larichev The petroglyphs that confirmed the worldview theory of the ancient priests, rooted in the cosmic mythology of the Indo-Europeans, became a real discovery for the group of astroarchaeologists. - Among everything discovered on the banks of the Iyus, until recently, there was not enough monument that would clarify the mysterious circumstances of the birth of the World Mountain itself. It is known that this event was linked in the cosmic mythology of the Indo-Europeans with the appearance in Chaos of a huge egg, laid by a divine bird. It contained ordered structures ready to appear in the world of God’s Universe - Heaven (shell), circular waters of the World Ocean (protein) and Earth, a spherical yolk in the center of an egg, the embodiment of that World Mountain, so effectively represented by the First Chest. Larichev This event happened in 2005. Astroarchaeologists, examining the stones near the First Chest, came across a wall completely covered with multi-figured compositions. Among the images of various creatures, a majestic picture, unique for the rock art of Siberia, was captured. - In the center of it there is the main component of the plot, which tells about the creation of the Universe - an oval, vertically placed egg. Inside it are inscribed the correct circle of the Ocean's waters and the sphere of the Earth, and in the immediate vicinity there are 7 figures of the primordial gods. Drawings of a predatory eagle with the heads of bulls at the ends of widely spaced wings, a man with arms raised to Heaven, a supreme deity and 13 rounded symbols of the luminaries that allow you to read the time according to the Moon and the Sun are also engraved. The planes of the temple are still protected from the weather by the ceiling - a massive sandstone slab, and at its base there are multi-ton blocks, embodied in stone by the round flat Sun and the same flat, crescent-shaped Moon. Their sunrises, respectively, in winter and summer, were observed from the temple above the top of the First Chest, the height of which exactly corresponded to the height of the distant horizon. This means that, even when looking from the new temple, it again reached the height of the orbits of both stars, once again confirming its status as the World Mountain. Larichev Never before have archaeologists met on the rocks either Siberia, or Central and Central Asia, or India, the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, in the ancient myths of the Indo-Europeans, who in the distant past inhabited the vast expanses of Eurasia from Britain in the west to Hindustan in the east, such an Egg was represented by those great "Something" in the image of which the Indo-Aryan priests saw the World. The general appearance and structure of this Egg exactly corresponds to the ideas about the Universe of the first cosmologist of Europe, Anaximander of the 1st millennium BC, who, judging by written sources, borrowed this scheme from the Zoroastrian priests of Iran and Asia Minor. The outer contour of the Egg, its shell, represented the solid starry Sky, and the three circles inside ("multilayered yolk") - "rings", the orbits of the Sun, Moon and planets. No less interesting and illustration of a plot, well-known in Indo-European cosmogonic mythology, about the miraculous appearance from the Egg floating in the primordial World Ocean, the creator of the Universe, shining with the dazzling light of the God of time and space. The Romans called him Phanes, and the Greeks - Zeus; the Indians respectfully called a deity of such a high rank - Brahma, and the Indo-Aryans of eastern Iran, Central Asia and the steppes Western Siberia - Zurvan Dargavidat, "God of finite time", governing the World materialized by his efforts. If the plots of the left wall of the temple were easily recognized by Larichev one after another, then the compositions of the right wall at first looked beyond interpretation. Only after many days of viewing, photographing and copying drawings at different times of the day, Larichev was able to interpret this plot. - Part of the plane was occupied by the image of Chaos with a bizarre confusion of curves, angular and straight lines and a mess of figuratively indistinguishable scraps of bodies. The other section was occupied by the hraphstra monsters. They attacked winged, anthropomorphic deities, humans and animals. The horde of the hideous appearance of the hraphstra was led by an ugly creature with a long neck and the body of a chicken, with a serpentine tail and strikingly long wings (a likeness of the Zoroastrian god of evil, Angra Manyu) and a skinny lion with a sunken belly, a rickety wing and a greedy open mouth. They emerged from the crown of Chaos and, together with their unearthly guises, their assistants, blazing with fierce anger, rushed to the World carefully arranged by the gods. It was a picture of the terrible, not for life, but for death, the collision of the polar forces of the Universe. It is they, the symbolic embodiment of the forces of Good and Evil, Light and Darkness, Chaos and Cosmos, who determined in bloody battles the course of affairs in Nature and the fate of people, living and departed into other being. Larichev And now let's get acquainted with the main discoveries of Novosibirsk scientists, made by them over the years of researching the territory of the First Chest. The first canyon.

1. Astrocomplex "Equinox Window". Here, according to the calculations of scientists, the ancient priests could observe the sunrise on the days of the spring and autumn equinoxes during the period of 1500 BC.
This astrocomplex includes four observation platforms located on the southern edge of the second ridge, and a "window" constructed of large heavy slabs in the zone of a small, insignificant depth of the opening in the upper part of the first ridge. Obviously, the triangular window is made of a slab that was intentionally placed here in order to limit the field of vision of the sun at a certain period. The extreme sites of the "observatory", No. 7 and No. 5, clearly limited the "equinox period", i.e. the time at which the Sun crosses the line of the celestial equator, moving either northward, defining the beginning of the spring astronomical season, or southward, defining the beginning of the autumn astronomical season. The middle observation platform, No. 6, is not symmetrically positioned with respect to the two extreme ones and reflects the moment of observing the passage of the Sun through the "Window" at the moment of the middle date between two solstices. The middle of the summer and winter seasons does not coincide with the dates of the equinoxes by about two days due to the uneven motion of the Earth in its orbit. - Special calculations showed that the determination of the corresponding dates was carried out by the ancient priests of the First Chest with an accuracy of 1 day. Such a detailed elaboration of an elusive calendar event cannot but amaze any historian of astronomy. After all, if the determination of the days of the summer and winter solstices consists in fixing the extreme positions of the rising or setting Sun relative to the meridian and is not difficult in practice (the sun rises and sets at the same point on the horizon for several days), then it is extremely difficult to determine the key dates of the equinoxes. Therefore, the determination of the days of the equinox by the ancient priests should be considered a very significant, truly scientific achievement. Larichev
2. Astrocomplex "Arcturus". As evidenced by the reconnaissance searches of scientists, the ancient astronomers, who equipped the first canyon with "observatories", were very concerned about the exact timing of the equinoxes. They solved this problem by observing the brightest star in the constellation Bootes - Arcturus, called by astronomers "Northern Sirius". This star, like Sirius in Egypt, had great calendar significance for them, but not in connection with the summer solstice, as among the peoples of the Mediterranean and the Middle East, but with the vernal equinox.


A rectangular window for observing the star Arcturus during the vernal equinox 1500 BC. is located at the top of the second ridge, up the slope from the observation platforms of the "Equinox Window" astrocomplex and is formed by a massive slab, which, according to Larichev, was knocked out by ancient astronomers and deliberately lowered down. As it was possible to establish immediately, after detection, the "window" could not track the sets of either the Sun or the Moon, since the luminaries simply could not fit there. One of the scientists suggested that this rocky hole was intended to observe one of the most bright stars in the northern part of the sky - Vega or Capella. And in the next field season (2003) this idea was tested. But the star who visited this window 1500 BC. it was not Vega, but Arcturus. As scientists calculated, at that time Arcturus flashed in the window 15 minutes before the vernal equinox. The idea of \u200b\u200busing the appearance of bright stars in the sky as signs (harbingers) of especially significant calendar and astronomical events are well known to astronomy historians of Ancient Egypt, Greece and Babylon (in the valley
Nile, the rise of Sirius on the summer solstice was perceived by the priests as a divine sign, graciously foreshadowing the flood of the river's nurse).
Summing up the above, we note that among the many astroarchaeological objects of the First Chest, the observation point of the heliacal phenomenon of Arcturus in the "window" on the eve of sunrise on the day of the vernal equinox acquires a key significance. In addition to the striking fact itself, confirming the origin of stellar astronomy in Siberia in the Bronze Age (Okunev culture), we note three circumstances:
1. this astronomical station allows us to confidently date the time of the especially intensive functioning of the First Chest as a grandiose center for astronomical observations in the south of Siberia, not inferior in importance to its contemporary - Stonehenge England;
2. the conclusion about the observation of Arcturus by the priests of the Okunev culture confirms and explains the perfection and accuracy of their lunisolar calendars;
3. Since Arcturus until recently occupied a particularly important place in the astral mythology of the indigenous peoples of Siberia, the solution to the problem of reconstructing the stellar mythology of the Okunevites becomes promising. 3. Astrocomplex "Oval". Not far from the place where the star Arcturus was observed, about fifty meters higher up the slope and in the immediate vicinity of the rocky summit of the First Chest, another grandiose astroarchaeological complex is located. It was intended to observe the sunset on the days of the summer solstice.
Observing the Sun at this Astrocomplex was carried out from a pavement of stones already partially destroyed by now. Oval-shaped slabs and blocks of sandstone were laid around this site. (photo on the left) At the top of the second ridge, there is an inclined slab under the base of which the Sun set on the summer solstice (photo on the right). A small niche was cut in the rock just below the slab. This is a kind of proto-temple - a cult place for ritual actions. Its structure includes a large, massive, rounded slab, laid obliquely above the grotto chamber and fixing its position (preventing it from sliding down) a second, semi-lunar slab. It is curious that the first slab is located in the place where the setting sun appears on the summer solstice, if you mentally extend the route of its departure beyond the horizon from the slab installed at the edge of the ridge (photo on the right). - This circumstance gives the right to see in the round slab covering the grotto, a sculptural embodiment of the disk of the Sun in stone. Apparently, the daylight seemed to the ancient priests not spherical, but flat, disc-shaped. Larichev This section of rock looks like a sculptural embodiment of a dragon's head with a rounded sun eye (rounded slab) and a platy horn. The mythological interpretation of the sculpted dragon head is as follows. Dthe dragon's manhole (a rounded slab above the grotto) is the June Sun of the summer solstice, and the horn above the temple, the place of its setting, is designed to visually illustrate the episode of the annual confrontation between two alternative deities of the Universe, personifying light and darkness, good and evil, the confrontation between the Sun and the Dragon, - it shone on the days of the summer solstice, the time of its greatest power, hitting right under the horn of the monster with the intention of slaying it on the spot, and then blinding - burned out the eye, reaching the location of the grotto. There is one more circumstance that allowed Larichev and his team to accept the idea of \u200b\u200bthe cult of the proto-temple - his connection with the "Arcturus" astrocomplex. - On the day of the summer solstice, the last ray of the setting Sun disappeared under the inclined plate installed on the ridge above
proto-temple, and on the days of the equinox, the setting of the Sun was observed in the gap formed by the right side of the inclined plate (Arcturus) and the left side of the root ledge of the rock. Larichev
4. Protochrome of the rising of the Sun on the days of the summer solstice.
Sunrise on the summer solstice was tracked with the greatest accuracy from the site of the astrocomplex associated with the opening in the lower part of the second ridge (the site is approximately equidistant from the structures of the Equinox Window and Oval Observatories).
The structures of the astrocomplex and, at the same time, the sanctuary include an eastern rocky cliff with two holes, one above the other; rocky plane on the opposite, western side of the opening with two grooves oriented tangentially inside of the holes, and a narrow sandstone block with a flat table-like surface, aligned with the middle part of the western wall of the opening (a place for sacrifices?). A multi-figured composition of embossed drawings is located on the same wall a little to the south.
Special studies with complex procedures of geodetic measurements and calculations allowed astronomers to draw a conclusion - in the opening of the second ridge, the rise of the daylight was tracked on the days of the summer solstice and the days of the solstice following them, which together determine the beginning of the months of astronomical summer. It was natural to assume that these significant events were accompanied by corresponding cult-ritual actions, as evidenced by the found petroglyphs. Second canyon. 5. Astrocomplex and proto-temple "Sun in Aries".
The protochrome is located on the left side of the second canyon, not far from its mouth and close to the rampart of slabs separating the sacred space of the First Chest with all its cult monuments from the swampy valley of the Black River. The main structural part of the astrocomplex is the column
outlier, conventionally called "fungus". This outlier
with a flat platform above, where you can comfortably stand, adjoins the central section of the rock with various types of carved figures, including an astral sign composition representing a picture of the entry of the Sun (a circle with point in the center) to the constellation Aries (two semicircles of horns, combined with the right edge of the circle) and the crescent moon of the young moon, placed above the "Sun in Aries", the symbol of the coming of spring.
As shown by the corresponding astronomical calculations, the rising of the same Sun could be observed from the "fungus" in the lower right corner of the "Opening" for about ten centuries - from the middle of the 2nd millennium BC. e. before
middle of the 1st millennium BC On this occasion, near the proto-temple, presumably, cult ritual actions took place, dedicated to the onset of the spring astronomical season and the revival of nature at the end of winter. 6. Astrocomplex "Summer Moon" on the celestial meridian.
Well, here we got to the observation of the moonrise by ancient astronomers. Larichev and his team discovered two such places in the space of the Second and the Third Canyons. Now we will talk about the first place where the rising of the night star was tracked - the Summer Moon astrocomplex. The central position here is occupied by an inclined stele deeply dug into the ground, from which the directions to the north and south were oriented. Measurements taken from the site of the stele clearly indicated that these directions were marked by means of perceptible relief details of the northern and southern walls of the canyon. With the help of a stele installed on the line of the celestial meridian, the priests determined the time of the approach of noon (in the last decade of June, the plate at noon and now does not cast a shadow), as well as the boundaries of the transition from one astronomical season to another.
Of the many phenomena that were observed from the stele in the northeast, the greatest interest is the possibility of tracking the rise of the low summer moon in the south - in the zone, apparently artificially the cut rock opening, which is located near the upper edge of the southern wall of the canyon (photo on the right). In this peculiar "Window", through the central zone of which the line of the celestial meridian passes, the full summer moon rose during the period. The night star appeared for a short time, touching the lower edge of the rocky surface at the place where the meridian passed, and immediately began to enter. - This is an event that was observed only once, at the end of the period
with a duration of 18.61 years, clearly and very clearly signaled the ancient astronomer about the end of one many-year period of displacements of the points of rise of the night star relative to the South and the beginning of the next period of displacements, but already directed in the opposite direction. Larichev Knowledge of this pattern allows us to assert that the priesthood of the First Chest skillfully calculate the time of the lunar eclipses, which seriously raises the authority of ancient astronomers, who, thanks to their observations, are able to compile calendars of the movement of the luminaries.
Third canyon. 7. Astrocomplex of the rising and setting of the high winter moon. The structural objects of the complex include observation platforms, observation objects (characteristic points of the horizon marked with plates), as well as a "window" pierced in the fourth ridge, which bounds the canyon from the north side.

The relative location of the sighting stones and observation platforms allowed Larichev to formulate an idea, the essence of which was that all these structures were intended to track the rising and setting of the full high moon in winter on a full moon day.
Based on all of the above, it can be stated that in ancient times the First Chest was a grandiose complex of tracking celestial phenomena throughout the year, unique for Siberia and neighboring regions of Asia, and was mythologically estimated as the World Mountain. Here the priests "forced" the Sun, Moon and stars to revolve around sacred mountain, which is exactly what is narrated in the cosmogonic character of the Indo-Aryan myth. To do this, it was only necessary to track the rising and setting of the luminaries, sequentially and in a certain order, moving from one observation station to another. This admission confirms the possibility of the perception of the First Chest by the earthly hypostasis of the cosmic World Mountain.
The same is evidenced by the second fundamental sign of the World Mountain, clearly reflected in the specific feature of the First Chest - reaching the height of the sky. To be sure, one should have looked at the mountain from the astronomical platform, located 3 km away on the saddle of Mount Solbon. With this positioning of the observer, the top of the First Chest turned into a place of sunrise on the days of the winter solstice, which should be perceived as a visual embodiment of the idea of \u200b\u200bthe ancient natural philosophers of Eurasia about the achievement of the primeval World Mountain to the height of the sky. V. Larichev Author's opinion: The Sunduki complex is the most significant power and sacred object on the territory of Northern Khakassia. Taking into account the achievements of Novosibirsk scientists, we can speak with a high degree of confidence about the high spiritual and cultural level of the people who created an astronomical observatory on the First Chest. The large-scale ancient irrigation system that surrounds the complex is further proof of the place's cult status. (The temple was always built in the center of the city on a hill so that it could be seen from everywhere). Developed agriculture allowed a large community of people to exist, located around the sacred mountain where the Gods lived. Only dedicated priests were allowed to enter it to perform cult rites and observe the heavenly bodies. Symbolic petroglyphs, different in their content from other samples of rock "painting" of the ancient peoples who inhabited this territory, show us the confrontation between man and strange creatures, as well as the cosmogony of this people. One of the Chests was apparently used for the burial of the priests and leaders of this people, as well as a chronicle of the spiritual life of one of the shamans in later times. Until recently, one more proof of the sacredness of the Chests was their inaccessibility. This complex was surrounded by swamps, which prevented most people from getting close to the Temple. Such a non-standard solution is often chosen by the Guardians of Places to close significant objects. However, at present, when the swamps were drained, the flow of people to the First Chest has greatly increased. To protect the complex, measures were taken and a museum-reserve was created, with the assistance of the same Larichev. The access roads for cars to the mountain were closed. It's for the best. 25.08.2015 Rostovtsev Sergey Rubicon website www.site Materials

Dream interpretation - Stone

The meaning of the symbol depends on the type of stone. An ordinary roadside stone, cobblestone - to difficulties and failures. You throw stones - endless quarrels will lead to loss of strength and disappointment. Stones are thrown at you - you will receive a danger warning. A stone is thrown in your back - a betrayal from a man whom you considered your best friend. Walking among the rocks - your path up the career ladder will be difficult and thorny. Sorting through the cobblestones in search of a gem - in the future you will face trouble in commercial matters. Small stones - a little disappointment will lead to big complications. Seeing a stone at a crossroads - you have a difficult choice on which your future life depends. Sitting on a stone - you will be put on a difficult section of work. Stumbling over a stone is the news of death. You shattered a cobblestone - means the loss of a friend.

You can work out such a dream by imagining how you pick up a cobblestone, bring it home, wash it - and it turns out to be a jewel or ornamental stone (see below).

A tombstone - to disease. Attention should be paid to health. Cracked headstone - the news of the disease will take you by surprise. An abandoned tombstone is an exacerbation of a chronic disease. Installing a tombstone is a long-term fatal illness.

Imagine that the headstone was replaced with an iron cross (see Iron, Cross).

Stone slabs, stone wall cladding or stone pavement dream of a calm, confident, stable life. A curb or brick is a success in a risky and dangerous business. A structure built of stone - you have to do a difficult job, but the result will be solid and durable.

Imagine stone slabs facing a castle (see Castle).

Interpretation of dreams from

An array of five detached outlier mountains, up to 200 m high, combining burial grounds, rock paintings and special structures, which, according to some archaeologists, were all used by ancient people to observe the stars, the sun and the moon.

The ridge stretches for 4.5 kilometers from north to south and consists of five main forts, but it got its name from the very north mountain - "Chest", at the top of which there is a rock in the form of a cube, outlines similar to a chest. After that, other hills received serial numbers.

The whole area, the landscape is so unusual and the atmosphere is mysterious. Being there, you directly feel the energy. Another interesting point is the acoustics between the rocks, sounds can be heard at a great distance. You will be able to discern the conversation of people who are far away, and under normal conditions it would be impossible to hear them. If a person speaks softly, standing on the top of the slope, the listeners at the bottom of the ridge can hear him perfectly, although the distance between them is 200-300 meters. The shape of the mountain, reminiscent of a horseshoe, creates a corridor through which sound flows without losing its volume and intelligibility. This is possible thanks to the air flow from top to bottom.

First Chest. The most beautiful, interesting and significant in the ridge in the ritual and astrological sense. Back in Soviet times, in this area, while plowing a field, they accidentally opened the shaman's grave with a tractor. Then a stone was dug out, on which constellations of the other hemisphere and some stars, visible almost through a telescope, were depicted.

According to Academician V. E. Larichev, who has been studying the Chests for about 30 years, it was here that the "world mountain" was located - an astrological sanctuary, including a priestly temple and an ancient observatory. Scientists have known for a long time about the mythical world mountain, allegedly located at the North Pole. According to legend, this is a kind of primordial land where the greatest gods lived and where the first people appeared. Each nation had its own world mountain, or rather, its image. It turns out that the First Chest is the world's mountain for this region.

The second Chest is of particular interest for photographers - numerous stone pyramids are being erected on it. The construction of such pyramids has deep roots: the Khakass used to create them as dwellings of mountain spirits in especially revered places, to which the Chests belonged since ancient times. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe second and third Chests, one can find confirmation of this, in the form of several ancient stone fences of burial grounds.

On the rocky slopes of the Fourth Chest there are drawings carved more than two thousand years ago. Petroglyphs are a kind of heroic epic in paintings. They show not only the difficult earthly path of the hero, but also the other world, where he finds himself after death at the hands of an enemy lurking in ambush (the lower part of the stone slab). The exposition of the Shirinsky Museum of Local Lore can tell you more about their interpretation. The most mysterious is the White Horse petroglyph. Scientists suggest that the drawing appeared about 16 thousand years ago, during the Ice Age. The ancestors saw the renewed Time in the image of this Horse.

The Fifth Chest is the southernmost of all. A large group of burial grounds is located in front of it. At its foot is an irrigation canal, one of those that has been preserved since ancient times (already in the 1st millennium BC the Khakass-Minusinsk depression was the center of irrigated agriculture).

People are still wondering what it is: an observatory of the ancients, a cult place, a landing site for alien spaceships, or all together? The entire complex is often called the Temple of the Sun. There is a legend that the Khakass spirits do not let everyone into this place, confuse the road or send thunderstorms with strong winds. If you still manage to get to the Chests, do not forget to tie a strip of cloth to the sacrificial tree (you will see it immediately), this will be your sign of worship of the omnipresent spirits.

Not far from these mysterious mountains, you can live in numerous camp sites and tent camps located on Lake Bele. Bases: "Bolshoy reach", "ELKO", "Pavlova's dacha", "GOLDEN ZVEZDA", "Chalpan", "Aviator".

How to get there: From the highway from Shira to the Kommunar mine, you need to turn right between the villages of Marchelgash and Topanovo - onto the highway crossing Bely Ius on a reinforced concrete bridge. Behind the bridge there is the first turn to the right and there is the gravel road that leads past the Chests to the railway station.

If you go to Sunduki from Malaya Syya, you can shorten the path by turning off the Shirinskaya highway behind the village of Troshkino, before the pass through Kyzyl-Khaya, to the left, onto a dirt road that runs along the Ius and leads directly to the bridge over the river. In some places the road comes close to the shore.
