(2585m) is located a couple of kilometers north of the Kayaashik pass and 500 m from the menhir, on the watershed of the Malka and Ingushli rivers. As a lonely peak, it advanced to the North from the root peak of the Tashlyt-syrt ridge. Its silhouette of a regular shape in the form of a giant cone-pyramid is striking. Some researchers of the Cheops pyramid argue that at its base there is a similar rocky outlier, lined with stone or concrete blocks, giving the structure the correct shape. Only Egyptian pyramids a couple of thousand years younger than Mount Tuzluk. This mountain, apparently, was the center of a large cult sanctuary. The mountain is well oriented in space. On it are located: from the south - a semicircle cut-out in the mountain itself, the probable place of altars and amulets-amulets with a large flat area in front of it, an amphitheater facing the top.
Researchers suggest that Tuzluk is a large underground dolmen.
There is information of Vedic origin that in Tuzluk there are cells - kelyas, which were used by the priests for solitude and self-knowledge. The mountain had a through passage from north to south. Among the local people, the news has been preserved that there is a underground passage, now hidden.
Near the foot of Mount Karakaya, there is a lonely menhir. The face of a knight is carved on a stone pillar, looking straight to the east. And behind the menhir is a bell-shaped hill. This is Tuzluk ("Treasury of the Sun"). Another translation is "salt shaker" (from the word "ace" with the meaning of "salt" in Turkic). And at the top of Tuzluk are the ruins of the ancient sanctuary of the Sun. The very structure of the sanctuary, the way the stones were processed, point to the Cimmerian times. At the top of the hill is, first, a tour marking the summit. On top of it there is a round bowl with a diameter of about 15 cm. Apparently, this stone-cup served to commemorate the souls of the dead, leaving for the reserveq follow the raysthe "dying" (outgoing) sun.Then three large rocks, which were processed. Once a gap was cut through them, directed from north to south. There are also stones at the top, laid out as sectors in the zodiacal calendar. Each sector is exactly 30 degrees.
And how can we not recall the description of the Temple of the Sun by Masudi: “In the Slavic lands there were buildings revered by them. Between others, they had a building on a mountain, about which the philosophers wrote that she was one of high mountains in the world. There is a story about this building, about the quality of its construction, about the location of its various stones and their different colors, about the holes made in its upper part, about what was built in these holes to observe the rising of the Sun, about the precious stones and the signs noted in it, which indicate future events and warn against incidents before their implementation, about the sounds in the upper part of it and what comprehends them when hearing these sounds ".
Perhaps this is the same temple at the Great Mountain.
It is also interesting that the top of Mount Tuzluk and the top of another sacred mountain - Kalitsky peak are located on the north-south axis, on the same meridian, which could not but be used by the ancient priests for a horizontal observatory. Another necessary for such an observatory, the west-east latitudinal axis, is located nearby. This axis - the top of Mount Shaukam - menhir "anvil of Perun" on the Irahitsyrt plateau - the top of Mount Buruntashbashi, but perhaps the ancients also chose another axis associated with Mount Sirkh.
Mount Sirkh blocks the sky from the southern side of Tuzluk. At its pre-summit part in the rocky eastern ridge once there were two dwellings, most likely ancient priests-astronomers (astrologers), tk. The rather deep pits remaining from those dwellings are located just on the aforementioned meridional axis Tuzluk - Kalitsky peak.
This place is the site of numerous UFO encounters, as well as the object of close study by the top of the Third Reich and the Ananerbe organization.

CAUCASIAN EXPEDITION NEW AGE MASTERS - 2014
INFORMATION 10/20/2014
Soon after leaving Dzhily-Su, there is a mountain-pyramid Kara-Kaya, then an ascent to the Kayaashik pass, after which Mount Sirkh and Tuzluk appear. At first we even got confused in the mountains, as there are a lot of pyramidal mountains. But soon we saw Mount Tuzluk, which could not be confused with anything. And opposite it is the Great Mount Sirkh.
Earlier, before the eruptions of Elbrus, which raised it by more than 2000m, it was Sirkh who was the most high mountain Caucasus. Mount Sirkh (Surkh) is the root eastern peak of the Tashlysyrt ridge. This mountain is the most mysterious peak of the Caucasus. Its height is 3100m. The priests of ancient beliefs, who lived there in seclusion, performed their rituals on it. There and now, on the crest with east side, under the summit, there are two pits left from the previous dwellings. Neither the logs of the roof nor the masonry of the walls have survived, but by the size of the depressions among the rocks, one can judge that two or four priests each could have lived in the former cells. These dwellings were built in 600 BC, and destroyed already in about 450 AD.
According to information from the Internet, Mount Sirkh is much older than Elbrus, then its cone simply did not exist. And Sirch was highest point Caucasus. It stands on the border of the volcano's primary crater - a caldera 10-12 kilometers in diameter. In this caldera - a kind of closed from all sides mountain town ancient civilizations could live and develop. A place closed from all winds, heating from below, a consequence of volcanic activity - there was Iriy - heaven on Earth.
At the top of Mount Sirkh, more than three millennia ago, there was the sanctuary of the sun god. According to legend, the high priest of this god owned the Book of Genesis, which he obtained from underground caches. In this book, he saw a series of terrible disasters that should befall all of humanity, and decided to intervene and prevent future disasters. But the gods were angry with him for trying to change the established order of things. So the high priest, along with the book, was turned into stone at the top of Mount Sirkh. He can see everything that happens in the sublunary world, but he is no longer able to influence human destinies.
Our work was to be carried out either from Mount Sirkh or from Tuzluk. ON Sirkh, the ascent is long and difficult, and Tuzluk is located next to the road, and the ascent is not difficult. And its pyramidal shape and general sacred meaning served as the last arguments in favor of choosing this mountain for work.
Here are excerpts from the site of the Russian Georaphic Society, Full Member of the Russian Geographical Society V.D. Stasenko: Sirkh is a riddle mountain. It was the center, a kind of Olympus, in ancient rituals, to which people from all over the Caucasus and its foothills flocked here, to Dzhilysu, for sacred festivities. Even now, after many thousands of years, anywhere in the Northern Elbrus, the dowsing frame points to Sirkh as the most powerful energetic and prayerful place. Unfortunately, we still know almost nothing about Sirch. We do not even know what the name of the mountain means. We have not found such a word in any local current language. In the distant centuries, the powerful king Surkh ruled in the Caucasus. But this information requires confirmation by specialist historians.
Mount Tuzluk (height 2585m) is located to the north of the Kayaashik pass, at the watershed of the Malka and Ingushli rivers. It has a regular-shaped silhouette in the form of a pyramid-cone. According to the website of the Russian Geographical Society, according to the results of a preliminary geological survey by Vyacheslav Tokarev, the mountain itself is a natural mountain range from layered hard quartzite tuffaceous sandstones, in the steep upper part, and from weakly cemented to loose - sandy-argillaceous tuff wavy strata in the gentle lower slope of the base.
The feeling of hand-made refinement of the slopes and the top of the mountain does not leave - some refinement into a geometrically correct shape. Some researchers of the Cheops pyramid argue that at its base there is a similar rocky outlier, lined with stone or concrete blocks, giving the structure the correct shape. Only the Egyptian pyramids are a couple of thousand years younger than Mount Tuzluk. This mountain, apparently, was the center of a large cult sanctuary.
The mountain is well oriented in space. On it are located: from the south - a semicircle cut-out in the mountain itself, the probable place of altars and amulets-amulets with a large flat area in front of it, an amphitheater facing the top. It is possible that mass rituals were held here. From the west, at the foot of the mountain, there is a megalith stone up to two meters high, in the form of a large animal. On top of it there is a round bowl about 15 cm in diameter. Apparently, this cup-stone (we called it a bull) served to commemorate the souls of the dead, leaving to the west following the rays of the "dying" (outgoing) sun.
To the east of the mountain, on a flat sloping plateau between the mountain and the cliff to Malka, there are large stones deeply sunk into the ground. Some of them are overgrown and hidden by grass and soil. It seems that they were arranged here in an orderly manner.
The southern part of the top of the mountain is a rock of quartzite tuffaceous sandstone. Its top is flat and is a continuation of the top of the mountain. The rock seems to have been artificially cut to the base into four rock blocks oriented to the cardinal points. A. Asov believes that these blocks served as the basis for the temple structure of the ancients.
Among the local people, there is a news that there is an underground passage from the Malki gorge to Tuzluk, now hidden.
Information of Aleksey Aleksandrovich Alekseev: Height 2585 meters. The elevation from the base from the north is about 200 m, from the south - about 100 m due to the general slope of the terrain. It is located on the left bank of the Malka River above the Kislovodsk-Dzhylysu dirt road. Geographical coordinates 43 ° 28.395 "N; 42 ° 31.708" E.
A beautiful circular panorama opens up from the top of Mount Tuzluk for many kilometers. The mountain stands in a natural bowl, bounded by a number of ridges. The uniqueness of the point is determined, first of all, by the view of the sunrise at the summer solstice in the area of a significant near-horizon landmark (Photo 2-T), the sunrise at the winter solstice, a number of other events described in the main text and the enchanting play of colors near the horizon and on the slopes of Elbrus , which also could not fail to attract ancient observers.
Ruskolani Sun Temple on the top of Tuzluk Mountain. On the right is the sacred mountain Sirkh
From the southern side and from the side of Menhir, the mountain appears as a regular truncated cone with protruding flat-topped stones (outliers) just below the summit. from the narratives of al-Masoudi it follows that at the top of the mountain there could have been a cult structure measuring 30 by 10 meters with a height of about 7 meters. The Tuzluk summit is quite consistent with this size. At the same time, remnant stones, composed of rocks not typical of the summit itself, could be installed to lengthen the summit platform, or modified for this purpose.
More information. "Tuzluk" is divided into two - this is "ace" and "bow". The ace is the main deck in cards, and the bow is in the understanding of the weapon. Indeed, if you observe the mountain as you approach from the north, then it represents the shape of a bow, at first not taut, but the closer it is, it is already taut enough.
They say that in Mount Tuzluk there are cells that the priests used to retire for self-discovery. There is also a belief that previously there was a passage underground (hidden today), as well as a passage through the entire mountain from south to north.
If you look closely, the Tuzluk mountain is quite well oriented in space for various rituals. In the south, a half-ring is formed, something like a recess in the mountain itself - probably a place for altars. In the west, at the foot of this mountain, you can see a two-meter megalith - a stone in the form of an animal, with a bowl on top. Perhaps this is also a participant in some kind of ritual. In the east, between Tuzluk and the cliff to the river, large-sized stones are located, overgrown in the ground and as if exhibited here specially in their order.
As for our personal impressions, we can confirm the sacred nature of this mountain and its colossal energy. Mountain - Tuzluk is the most powerful place of Power. We can also confirm that this once natural rock formation was artificially modified to give it the correct pyramidal shape. Also, on its top, the Ruskolani Sun Temple was built from the materials brought.
There, on the top of Tuzluk, sacred Rites were held, associated mainly with the Sun, the Priests of the light of this ancient civilization... We also noted the energy connection between the Tuzluk and Sirkh mountains. Obviously, both mountains worked and were used together, in a "tandem bundle".
Leaving the car at the beginning of Mount Tuzluk, we climbed a narrow path to its top, to the ruins of the Temple of the Sun. The energy there is fascinating, powerful and clean. Verily, there are few places on earth that have made such a strong impression on us. It seemed that we touched the holy of holies of Ruskolani civilization ...
At the top of Tuzluk, by the beginning of the work, a huge number of Higher Entities of Light and representatives extraterrestrial civilizations... After all, this day was to enter the Istria of the Earth as the Day of the Beginning of OWN Vital Synthesis of our Planet. In other words, if earlier the Earth received the Energy of Life from the outside, now for the first time it had to start producing it on its own.
Autovital synthesis is a distinctive feature of the Highest Logoi, such as the Stars and the Highest Spiritual Planets. Of course, these events were carefully and for a long time prepared both by the Neoautogens of the Hierarchy of Light and by their co-workers embodied on Earth. We will not describe all the stages of this preparatory work, we note that it went on for more than one year, but the most active phases fell on 2013-2014.
The last stage of this work took place right before the Autumn Equinox Day - 2014. A prerequisite for the beginning of the Earth's Own Vital Synthesis was "complete shutdown", disconnection of the Earth from external sources Life Energy. This shutdown took place in stages and on the night of September 22-23, 2014. its supply to Earth was completely shut off.
But the Earth, as the Logos, cannot be without the Energy of Life, just as a person cannot live without air. Therefore, a group of people was created who supported the Earth with their energy of Life for these few days. This is a lot, a lot of people who supported our Planet and did not themselves know about it.
Yuna and I have provided this support from the very beginning of the phase-out. It felt like a feeling of inexplicable complete exhaustion of the body. So if you felt such an exhaustion during the period of September 20-25, 2014, then most likely you also took part in the collective support of the Earth. And without this support, she would not have survived.
So, the attempt to activate the Earth's own vital synthesis was an experiment, albeit a well-prepared one. Our task was to create conditions for the activation of this synthesis. No more, no less. Then, if such activation was successful, the situation was released to 100% self-organization. This meant that no one would artificially support it, and the main intrigue is whether the Earth itself will be able to keep it?
And the flow of Vital Synthesis in the core of the Earth is an essential prerequisite for the future unification of our Earth with the True Earth - Gaia.
So, on the top of the Pyramid-Pyramid Tuzluk, on the Sacred Temple of Ruskolani on September 25, 2014, in the presence of the Supreme Beings who watched what was happening, Yuna and I carried out work to activate the Earth's Own Vital Synthesis. For this, a little was required: with the Ray from the Pleroma, we dispersed the thin-material core of the Earth to such a vibration, on which the Vital Synthesis was activated. We repeat, the Earth itself has been preparing for this for a very long time.
Vital Synthesis started and started very well. Our Planet was able to hold it and continues to hold it to this day. This is a great victory for all the Forces of Light! Plus a colossal breakthrough in the creation of an Artificial Sun, because for the first time its own Synthesis of Life Energy was launched in a three-dimensional planet, and even with humanity on it.
After work, being in an indescribable state of joy and delight from what had happened, we drove to Kislovodsk, where we stopped for the night.
On the territory of Kabardino-Balkaria there is unusual mountain, examining which a person experiences a double feeling. He gets the feeling that this is not a creation of nature, but something man-made. Mount Tuzluk serves both as a place of pilgrimage and an interesting attraction of the region. Legends are still being made about this hill.
Mysterious mountain Tuzluk
It is believed that the mountain is a secret place hidden in its depths, the content of which is far from human understanding. The Caucasian pyramid, according to some assumptions, 5 thousand years ago was the place of the oracle's activity and on it everyone could get their predictions. It was brought to the people by the pythias, who broadcast under the influence of the fumes coming from the crevices. Mount Tuzluk still emits some gases from its bowels.
It is not difficult to get to this hill; the road leading to mineral springs... Despite the fact that the mountain is almost steep from the side of the entrance, it is not very difficult to climb it. At the very top there is a flat platform on which there are 4 pillars of stone.
Like many others, this structure raises many questions. From a bird's eye view, the pillars resemble a cross, and it seems that they are specially installed for incomprehensible purposes. It can be assumed, that this place was a sanctuary or observatory. Scientists conducted experiments and came to the conclusion that more than 4000 thousand years ago, rituals of sacrifice and cleansing of the soul were performed at this place.
Elbrus pyramids
On the western side of the mountain there is a stone that vaguely resembles a bull. It symbolizes the feminine principle. Nearby is a stone with a concave top for performing rituals. This place is surrounded stone pyramids, having a phallic shape and depicting knights. They represent the protection of the woman.
Scientists suggest that once on the top of the mountain there was a temple of the Sun, since the rising of the luminary, on the days of equinox and opposition, corresponds to the established altars. Others believe that the sanctuary is located in the mountain. Those who lingered at the top for a long time say that the rock mass breathes, releasing incomprehensible air from a deep crack.
The height of the Tuzluk mountain is 2585 m. It is located at the branching point of the Malka Ingushli rivers, half a kilometer from the Kayaashik pass on the northern side. It is a pyramid in the form of a cone of regular shape.
There are many theories and assumptions that explain the meaning and meaning of this name. Translated from the Turkic “tuz” is “salt”, that is, such a kind of “salt shaker”, others translate as “Treasury of the Sun”. There is also the following theory, the very name “ Brine"Is split into two - this is" ace "and" bow ". The ace is the main deck in cards, and the bow is in the understanding of the weapon. Indeed, if you observe the mountain as you approach from the north, then it represents the shape of a bow, at first not taut, but the closer it is, it is already taut enough.

In ancient times, Tuzluk was a symbol of the sentry and met pilgrims on their way to the holy places of Elbrus. Today it is difficult not to pay attention to this mystical fascinating miracle of nature. Surprisingly, Mount Tuzluk is several thousand years older than the pyramids that are still in Egypt today. According to many evidences, this mountain was the center of the sanctuary.
They say that in Mount Tuzluk there are cells that the priests used to retire for self-discovery. There is also a belief that previously there was a passage underground (hidden today), as well as a passage through the entire mountain from south to north.
There is really a lot of mystical here. If you look closely, the mountain is quite well oriented in space for various rituals. In the south, a half-ring is formed, something like a recess in the mountain itself - probably a place for altars. In the west, at the foot of this mountain, you can see a two-meter megalith - a stone in the form of an animal, with a bowl on top. Perhaps this is also a participant in some kind of ritual. In the east, between Tuzluk and the cliff to the river, large-sized stones are located, overgrown in the ground and as if exhibited here specially in their order.
Many more examples can be cited as evidence of the presence of mysticism in the area. Caucasus mountains, namely in the Elbrus region. And they all say that it was here that the main secret rituals with otherworldly forces took place. These facts fascinate adventure lovers and attract numerous tourists here.
Mount Tuzluk, as a permanent sentry, has always met and attracted pilgrims going to the Holy Places of the Northern Elbrus. And now it is impossible not to pay attention to this miracle of nature. And maybe not only nature.
For a long time I tried to understand the meaning of the name of this mountain. It was very senseless to combine the name of the mountain with a saline solution - brine. But one day a completely different combination arose: ace - az - ace and bow as a weapon. (Ace is the first, the main card in the deck, an important person; Az is the first letter in the alphabet, the pronoun - I know God, the self-name of the peoples of Azov, Ases).
And indeed the mountain, when approaching it from the north, first looks like a bow with a loose bowstring, and then, when approaching it, takes the form of a sharply drawn bow. So, maybe Tuzluk - Azluk - Asluk, - the bow of Azov, Asov, or my bow.
The first time I saw her was twenty years ago. She seemed very curious to me then. But as always in sports hike no time for extraneous research. It is necessary to meet the schedule of the hike and until dark come to a place convenient for a bivouac.
And only in 2005, within the framework of the "ELBRUS - RUSKOLAN" expedition, we planned several hours to survey the region of this mountain.
We left the base camp on Dzhilysu in the second half of the day and, having overcome the Kayaashik pass, in the evening were at Tuzluk. Having asked for shelter from the spirits-masters of the mountain, we settled down to spend the night next to the spring at the eastern foot of it.
In the morning of the next day, unexpectedly, a GAZ-66 drove up to us from the direction of Kislovodsk with a group of climbers heading for Elbrus. At 16 o'clock he was supposed to return and promised to take our group of 15 people to the Narzan Valley.
So it was given to us, I think, by the same perfume, for a whole day, and not for several hours, as planned, and we did not lose it in vain. Everyone dispersed in small groups, where curiosity drew anyone.
In the evening, by the fire in the Narzan Valley, everyone told about what they had seen. And I managed to see a lot of interesting and even mysterious.
Pavel Otkidychev discovered in the canyon of the Malka River fragments of rocks with prints of tree trunks, some small objects not yet explained, rock carvings in the shape of a cross together with a triangle or pyramid and coal seams. And this is not all the riddles that he and other members of the expedition saw.
Cross and triangle. Similar pictureavailable on the northern slope of Mount Sirch.
Ladder and coal seams.
A stone staircase rises from the Malki canyon to the plateau, to the mountain, in the closest place to it. Judging by the photographs, it seemed to me a natural formation, but two to five thousand years ago this staircase could have been run down, equipped with a handrail or rope, and then it would not have been difficult to climb up this staircase.
In the photo, next to the stairs, coal seams are visible, which could have been used in the ancient metal-smelting furnaces previously discovered by the expedition of A.A. Alekseev and A.G. Evtushenko, very close, on the Tashlysyrt ridge.
And something magical happened to Zhanna Demina, the geologist of the expedition. She left with her daughter Olga, a great connoisseur of flora, now a student at the Timiryazev Academy. They climbed to the top of the mountain, examined the summit rock (I will describe it later), went down, walked around the mountain and, softened by the sun, settled down to rest on the beautiful alpine meadow... And suddenly Jeanne saw a procession of people dressed in dark long tunics with their heads covered with hoods. People slowly passed by and went into the mountain. The last of them turned to Jeanne and silently beckoned for him. She became scared and it took a great effort of will not to succumb to this call. She neither then nor now does not know whether it was all in reality or it was some kind of obsession. Of one thing, she is sure that she was not sleeping at that moment.
Mount Tuzluk itself (2585m) is located a couple of kilometers north of the Kayaashik pass and 500 m from the menhir, on the watershed of the Malka and Ingushli rivers. As a lonely peak, it advanced to the North from the root peak of the Tashlysyrt ridge of Mount Sirkh. Its silhouette of a regular shape in the form of a giant cone-pyramid is striking.
According to the results of a preliminary geological survey by Vyacheslav Tokarev, the mountain itself is a natural mountain massif of layered hard quartzite tuffaceous sandstones, in the steep upper part, and of weakly cemented to loose - sandy-argillaceous tuff wavy strata in the gentle lower slope of the base.
The feeling of hand-made refinement of the slopes and the top of the mountain does not leave - some refinement into a geometrically correct shape. Some researchers of the Cheops pyramid argue that at its base there is a similar rocky outlier, lined with stone or concrete blocks, giving the structure the correct shape. Only the Egyptian pyramids are a couple of thousand years younger than Mount Tuzluk. This mountain, apparently, was the center of a large cult sanctuary.
Megalith is a monument of phallic culture and Tuzluk mountain.
The mountain is well oriented in space. On it are located: from the south - a semicircle cut-out in the mountain itself, the probable place of altars and amulets-amulets with a large flat area in front of it, an amphitheater facing the top. It is possible that mass rituals were held here. From the west, at the foot of the mountain, there is a megalith stone up to two meters high, in the form of a large animal. On top of it there is a round bowl about 15 cm in diameter. Apparently, this cup-stone (we called it a bull) served to commemorate the souls of the dead, leaving to the west following the rays of the “dying” (departing) sun.
To the east of the mountain, on a flat sloping plateau between the mountain and the cliff to Malka, there are large stones deeply sunk into the ground. Some of them are overgrown and hidden by grass and soil. It seems that they were arranged here in an orderly manner.
The southern part of the top of the mountain is a rock of quartzite tuffaceous sandstone. Its top is flat and is a continuation of the top of the mountain. The rock seems to have been artificially cut to the base into four rock blocks oriented to the cardinal points. A. Asov believes that these blocks served as the basis for the temple structure of the ancients.
The top of Mount Tuzluk and Mount Sirkh.
There is information of Vedic origin that in Tuzluk there are cells - kelyas, used by the priests for solitude and self-knowledge. The mountain had a through passage from north to south. We found an indirect confirmation of this in the 2007 expedition. Finding a previously unnoticed gap or crack at the base of the summit rock blocks, we brought a flame to it, and it was blown off into the mountain.
Among the local people, there is a news that there is an underground passage from the Malki gorge to Tuzluk, now hidden.
I would like to check all this with the methods familiar to today's science.
It is also interesting that the top of Mount Tuzluk and the top of another sacred mountain - Kalitsky peak are located on the north-south axis, on the same meridian, which could not but be used by the ancient priests for a horizontal observatory. Another necessary for such an observatory, the west-east latitudinal axis, is located nearby. This axis - the top of Mount Shaukam - menhir "anvil of Perun" on the Irahitsyrt plateau - the top of Mount Buruntashbashi, but perhaps the ancients also chose another axis associated with Mount Sirkh.
Mount Sirkh blocks the sky from the southern side of Tuzluk. At its pre-summit part in the rocky eastern ridge once there were two dwellings, most likely ancient priests-astronomers (astrologers), tk. The rather deep pits remaining from those dwellings are located just on the aforementioned meridional axis Tuzluk - Kalitsky peak.
Sirch mountain riddle. It was the center, a kind of Olympus, in ancient rituals, to which people from all over the Caucasus and its foothills flocked here, to Dzhilysu, for sacred festivities. Even now, after many thousands of years, anywhere in the Northern Elbrus, the dowsing frame points to Sirkh as the most powerful energetic and prayerful place. Unfortunately, we still know almost nothing about Sirch. We do not even know what the name of the mountain means. We have not found such a word in any local current language. In the distant centuries, the powerful king Surkh ruled in the Caucasus. But this information requires confirmation by specialist historians.
So, the day flew by quickly after exploring Tuzluk Mountain and its environs. At 15 o'clock, Heaven turned on "watering the grass" - a daily short warm rain, very characteristic only for the Jilisu region in July-August. The tents were already packed in backpacks and we, while waiting for the car, huddled under one piece of polyethylene. Less than half an hour later, a car appeared, and immediately the rain stopped abruptly. When we plunged into it, the rain "turned on" again, but we were already under the car's awning. About four kilometers later, the car drove out of the rain zone into the area of a very dusty road. In two hours we covered the distance that we had to cover in two days.
We are grateful to the guys from the Ministry of Emergency Situations for a disinterested gift.
They decided to spend the presented days in the Narzan Valley. In the gorge of the Khasaut River, they found a fabulously beautiful corner and camped. Sunny days were spent in raspberry fields and warm river baths. In the evenings around the fire, we exchanged observations and impressions from the expedition. The people were blissful!
In general, the whole campaign took place under some kind of patronage, as if with God in his bosom. One of the patrons revealed himself to us. It began with the fact that he did not allow me to lead the group past him along the very familiar to me "Malkinskaya trail". In an effort to lead the group to the confluence of the Khasaut and Malka rivers, I suddenly ran into a steep slope, where the climb was supposed to begin and could not find the continuation of the path. (The cliff is the place where the river is pressed against the rock and it has to be climbed over the top). For me it was like not finding the front door in my house. But, to my amazement, I could not find the path and decided to return a little to the clearing I had just passed. The next morning, when everyone was still asleep, I came to the region - the path was in its place and was perfectly visible. I walked along it and at the very bend again, as if I ran into something. I did not tempt fate, turned around and began to descend. And suddenly he fell on a stable path. Only experience and an ice ax helped me not to fly off the cliff. I understood why the trail had been closed to me the day before. Apparently, someone with less experience could fly away. It remains only to thank the Gods!
But that was only the beginning. Towards the end of the second day, we trampled a wide path in the tall grass on a steep descent from the tents to the river. Climbing it from the river, I noticed a hewn log in the grass by the path.
Turning it out of the ground, I saw the face of an old man with a beard, folded palms and a runic inscription at chest level. None of us knew Rune, to our shame.
They assumed that this is an image of some ancient Russian God because in these places, until 1943, brigades of Old Believers mined gold. We decided to take it to Pyatigorsk and offer it to the local history museum.
God Veles.
On Monday they brought me to Pyatigorsk, and on Tuesday I was invited to take part in the festival of Perun on Velesovaya Polyana at the foot of Mount Beshtau. The holiday was held by the Kavminvodskaya Vedic community on Wednesday. I decided to show the community members our find. All those present gathered around. Another woman came up and suddenly screamed in excitement - Rhodeslav, come and look at your work. It turned out that two years ago they were on a hike in the Narzan Valley and he cut this image of Veles out of a log. With the whole tourist group, they solemnly installed it over the river. But the roofing felts were not dug in deeply, or he interfered with someone, but we found him thrown into the dust and already pretty much eaten by rot and insects.
At the first moment, I felt disappointment because this idol turned out to be not a historical value, but a remake, but amazement followed. It turned out that we saved from death and delivered God Veles to Velesova glade, and even on a holiday, and to the master who created it. But we, or someone else, could burn him in a fire, throw him into the river, or even take him somewhere else, but no, Veles himself came to his clearing to his creator on a holiday.
There are too many coincidences, ranging from the delivery of us from Tuzluk to the Narzan Valley, to the gentle but persistent holding us at the clearing, where he lay defeated in the dust.
After all this, analyzing the cases that have happened to me over the years in the mountains and not only in the mountains, I come to the conclusion that we are always under the auspices of our Gods. You just need to learn to listen to them, praise and thank them for this, without asking anything from them.
Glory to our Gods and Ancestors!
