Death Valley in Yakutia

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

Mysterious 8- and 10-meter cauldrons have more than once served as a lodging place for lost hunters. It is much warmer inside them than outside. But the one who decides to use them as a refuge, after that gets very sick and does not live for long …

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

The Yakuts call this legendary place Yelyuyu Cherkecheh, which means "Valley of Death". Old people consider it forbidden: “In winter, it is warm under the boilers, as in summer, and people who spend the night in them inevitably set off to 'graze heavenly deer' …

“It’s creepy to be in the valley,” says the Yakut ethnographer Aitalina Nikiforova. - The trees are dead, black, around the swamp.

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

Historians

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

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

Flooded boiler diameter 10 meters

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

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

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

In 1971, the testimony of an old Evenk hunter was documented that in the area between the rivers Nyurgun Bootur ("Bogatyr") and Ataradak ("A very large three-sided iron fort") there is an iron hole in which "thin, black, one-eyed people lie in iron clothes ". Are these aliens in spacesuits? And the bunker is their earth base?

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

Only lucky last year - Czech traveler Ivan Mackerle finally found them!

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

- The area of the Valley of Death is huge, - says Aitalina. - Looking for boilers in the taiga and swamps is like a needle in a haystack. But Ivan came up with a brilliant idea: you need to fly around the territory on paramotors - parachutes with motors. And literally on the 3-4th day of the expedition, they found a strange circle with surprisingly even, clear edges, covered with snow. The snow melted almost everywhere in the taiga, and in that place there was a clear-cut circle in the snow. They found the second one. We fixed the coordinates on the satellite navigator, and then got to this place on foot. And they were surprised - metal boilers were covered with snow!

Disease

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

And literally the next day after the discovery of the boilers, Ivan Matskerle suddenly felt unwell:

- I woke up in the morning and immediately felt my head spinning, began to lose consciousness. The pressure and my heart were fine, but I felt like I was in a state of extreme intoxication. We waited a day, but my condition did not improve. When we left this territory, as if by magic, I immediately felt better …

Scientists

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

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

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

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

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

Based on Koretsky's letter, it can be assumed that there is a slightly increased radioactive background around the "boilers". Giant vegetation around them, non-healing ulcers on the head, and falling hair are obvious symptoms of radiation exposure. Variants are possible: either the “boilers” are made of radioactive metal, or some artificial sources of radiation, such as isotope generators, are structurally included in their walls?..

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

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

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

In the summer of 1997, a group of 2 people (V. Uvarov and A. Gutenev) left for approximately this area, who, with the help of sponsors, paid for the work of specialists in the local Aerial photographic archive, where they found “something interesting” in the photographs of the area. We left for the place, however, the helicopter with provisions was late, other everyday difficulties arose, and I had to squeak my heart back without finding anything …

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

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

All these riddles have a completely terrestrial origin. Stamps of Russian and Ukrainian factories are clearly visible on the strange metal debris. We are talking about the places where the spent rocket stages fall. And since spacecraft (ships with astronauts, spy satellites, scientific stations - from year to year are taken out along quite certain routes, “zones” have formed on the surface of the Earth, where twisted aluminum tanks of launch vehicles, other fragments of “space metal They say that in Gorny Altai there is a whole village where nozzles of spent rocket stages were adapted for stoves; fortunately, there are dozens of them on each Soyuz. They also say that an illiterate Kazakh shepherd was very happy to find the RTG (radioisotope thermoelectric generator), since the thing never cooled down, and it was very convenient to bask near it on cold dark nights; and when the soldiers sent from Baikonur found the lost RTG in the yurt, under a layer of blankets, it was no longer possible to save the “lucky man”. does it all look like the legends about the Vilyui “Valley of Death”?

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