Hike for secrets. Residents of Stavropol develop tourism to Mount Beshtau
The Caucasian Mineral Water region has long attracted the close attention of Ufologs. Especially the hollow mountain Beshtau, over which mysterious glowing balls are often seen. How not to assume that it is possible, the base UFO. Maxim Kucherov, photographer by profession, Digger and an adventure seeker in spirit, long wanted to explore the longest artificial caves of Russia - Abandoned uranium gallery Beshtau (translated - five mountains), her "bad" places. Stripping with a wet-friendly, catering with a lantern and a heiger counter, Maxim went on the road.
Uranium mark
The whole mountain is raised by the mined mines. The overall length of the gallery is 150,000 m. The gallery themselves is about fifty, there is also a vertical central mine uniting. The entrances have long been closed or brewed with thick metal sheets to avoid accidents. After all, in labyrinths it is easy to get lost, the collapsies occur there. Not to mention the fact that the whole mountain is radioactive.
The decision to develop uranium deposits near Mount Beshtau was adopted by the Council of Ministers of the USSR in 1949 - Uranus went to the manufacture of warheads. It is believed that secret construction near Pyatigorsky led the curator of the Soviet Atomic Project of the Lavrenty Beria. He personally controlled everything related to the prey and enrichment of ore, its transportation. In the mines, Abotali is mostly zeki. Labor was hard and dangerous. Constantly there were collaps, sitting people. Many were sickly with siliciasis - dust raised when developing, and radioactive.
In 1985, the production was closed and was conserved. But still the one who will die to rise a couple of hundred meters, then there will be huge rusty structures, plunged ventilation mines. For them, Maxim and looking for entrance to the mines.
Suspicious Borodach
At the entrance to the forest covering the mountain, hanging the plate remaining since 1961: it is forbidden to collect mushrooms and carry out earthworks. But despite the warning of mushrooms in the summer here is full.
Mushroom mutants on Beshtau reach huge sizes. Local residents, of course, are guessing where these giants are collected, and do not buy them. But the resort workers are in careless obscurity.
Do not leave Beshtau without attention and non-ferrous metal hunters. There are quite a lot of unacceptable cable and other equipment.
The layer of the soil over the galleys is sometimes so thin that they can easily fall into them, walking through the forest, and such cases have been.
It is forbidden to climb on the mines, and I didn't know Maxim exactly where to look for some entrance to the Stand, mastered by the scrap rates. Therefore, he had to lie to him to everyone who brought him to traveling, as if he was heading to the second-Athos male monastery on the slope of Beshtau.
Several times Kucherov had trouble with law enforcement officials. After the explosions of the trains on the Kavmins of the police, it is difficult to reproach that a bearded young man with a tight backpack behind their suspicion.
Finally, Maxim, coming down from the passing car, gathered to go deep into the forest. But here the man who goes towards meeting began to persistently offer: "I went, I spend to the monastery." Not knowing how to get rid of him, Kucherov again selected, as if going to conquer the top of Beshtau. Goodness pointed out the road and spent the traveler to the most rocks. There are such! From half an hour, Maxim has already worried about the rock in the hope that the uninvited assistant will finally go away. I went out - and he is waiting for him!
Zone of unprecedented fear
I had to get acquainted. The man called Victor. Word for the word, talked.
- Why does the "Forbidden Zone" sign hanging the entrance to the forest? - asked Kucher.
- Do you know or what? - Victor was surprised. - We have an abnormal area. I'm often walking here. He seen the glowing balls several times.
- What are the balls? Maybe it's a ball lightning?
- Not. Ball lightning are not so big ...
Victor immediately warned that there are places in the forest where a person is experiencing anonymous fear. Maxim only became more interesting.

We decided to go to Mount Beshtau. The weather was great, sin not to climb on the rocks. The route was chosen unknown for us - the pagan labyrinth of Slavs, the Polyana of relict poppies, the rock of Bastion.
The top of the bastion. We are there. Left Poppies, but our path will pass through the rocks on the right.
Stop on a labyrinth. Ancient Sanctures. The Labyrinth was restored by the Slavic-pagan community, according to the likeness of Solovetsky. But the most interesting thing is that at the moment it was complicated, "reflection in the sky" appeared on him in the form of a cloud spiral. There is an old rite of "Spring Binding": scaring "unclean power", ritual chants, chastushki. This ancient Slavic tradition of winter wires managed to carry through two millennia.
The reconstruction of the rite is arranged on Beshtau for several years in a row after the spring equinox, when astronomical spring comes. Ancient customs that existed on our land long before the baptism of Russia, cause considerable cultural interest.
Beshtaugorskaya Polyana is chosen for the reconstruction of the rite. It is no coincidence: according to some information, at this place there was once one of the ancient Slavic settlements. Certificates of this have been preserved to this day: the ruins of the bastion on the rock "fox nose", the ruins of the walls, which fencing the settlement, huge stone blanks - up to 120 cm in diameter, sharpened millstone mills. Experts refer them to 4-5 centies of our era.
The Russian geographical society is engaged in the study of Slavic culture, traditions, customs, historical mysteries of the ancient Slavs. By analogy with the Cretan labyrinth, 5 years ago they built a maze on Beshtau.

If an unusual case happened to you, you saw a strange creature or an incomprehensible phenomenon, you had a unusual dream, you saw in the sky UFOs or became a victim of the abduction of aliens, you can send our story to us and it will be published on our website \u003d\u003d\u003d\u003e .
There are a lot of places on Earth, which among the locals have a reputation as "unclean", "prodigal", or those damned, demonic.
Now they are called "a scientific" - anomalous regions, geoactive or geopathogenic zones. With a positive effect on a person, these are sacred places, with negative impact - geopathogenic zones. But from the subject matter they did not become less mysterious.
Sleeping lion breathing
To a row of sacred can be attributed to the mountain of marking, located in the North Caucasus near the town of Zheleznovodsk. By modest height - 720 meters above sea level - it is often referred to as the "slide". And for the inconsistency of the elevation, for the similarity on the configuration with the resting king beasts, it is sometimes called it and sleeping lion.
In the summer on the slopes of the ruins, it is pleasant to relax from the stuff and heat. Even when heat reaches more than 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature on the mountain surface is measured 5-6 degrees. The fact is that the depth of the layer of many years of permits here reaches 9 meters. On the plot of the square near the hectare of the soil is never defined even in the most sultry.
This is partly due to cold air, which comes from the bowels of the mountain. In the severe winter frosts of cracks blowing wind, the temperature of which plus, about 8 degrees. Therefore, the sloping slope in this place in the winter green grass, and some fruits are matured, the shrubs of Alychi are fruit.
Researchers tried to find out the reason for this phenomenon. In the depths of the collapse a lot of emptiness, and they are filled with for some reason cold air. In the summer, he comes out through the cracks, and warm air goes into his place. There is a gradual circulation. But until the end of the breath, the breath of the sleeping lion remains not disclosed. There are similar natural refrigerators, the islands of many years of marbles - and in other southern edges: in Romania, in the Italian Lombardy, Pamir Mountain Badakhshan, in the Chinese province of Liaoning.
Noteworthy places in the North Caucasus besides the rails abound. But now the last two decades of the 20th century, there were often new reports of mysterious and unknown phenomena. Not only over the giant Elbrus, but also above the mountains - Beshtau, Mashuk, the wilts have increasingly began to be observed with these, it seems to be sacrifice and nevertheless mysterious and intriguing UFOs.
Path to base
In February 1989, a large number of people observed many luminous objects of various shapes. Flight trails proceeded from Elbrus. Though at the tops of the two-headed giggle for half a century thousands of people visited, on it, according to the testimony of local horses, there were still a lot of places where the person did not go. "Find the base of cosmic aliens, they say," maybe it will not be possible, but you need to look after ... "
Mount Beshtau looks like a complex of huge pyramids
In August, two identical round flat objects observed in August in the area of \u200b\u200bMount Beshtau. One of them glowed with blue and appeared from the West, and the second with a green glow - from the south. Both slowly, silently moved towards each other at an altitude of about 4 km. And then something happened ...
Both objects, approaching each other at a distance of about five kilometers, stopped. From one, a red ball was separated, which flew towards the second object. But when he approached, not about a quarter of a distance, a thin white beam was directed to it from this second object. Under the influence of the beam, the ball began to increase in size and change its color - with red on white. Then there was a sound, like slap, and the beam disappeared, and the ball fell unconsciously from eyewitness. Both objects slowly retired in the same areas from where the arrived.
On December 16, 2003, a resident of Lermontov, along with friends, rested at a hot hydrogen sulfide source, not far from the men's second-Athos Monastery. Suddenly they drew attention to three figures, standing at 400 meters above the mountainside. The figures were about two-meter growth of yellow, silver and blue colors. They stood motionless, and there was a slightly noticeable radiance. No wonder, nor fear observers at that time have not experienced. Mysterious creatures looked at people from above, as if watching them. Then they did not go away, did not fly away, but simply dissolved in the air ...
The company witnessed a phenomenon of clearly extraterrestrial origin, confident Pyagigor's enthusiast studies of the phenomenon of UFO Stanislav Donets. Aliens are reality, they visit the Earth; And one of the permanent "bases" of space guests in the Caucasian Mineral Waters area is Mount Beshtau. And at all, it was not by chance that the aliens appeared nearby from the monastery: these objects were built in places, "open space and saturated with positive energy".
But the abbot of the Second-Afonov Monastery on Mount Beshtau adheres to the opposite opinion. In the doctrine of the Russian Orthodox Church there is no place to aliens from other galaxies. With doubt approaches the event and the head of the Department of Physics of the Pyatigorsk Technological University, Professor Andrei Chernobabov. As a scientist, he trusts only the facts established as a result of scientific research. But as a person, as an eyewitness, suddenly admits that once he saw something similar to UFO in the sky!
Fear and trepid
The list of mysterious anomalous zones and places, by the way, often associated with mountain regions and separate heights, is extensive. On the site of the mountain range Bukantau in the central kyzylkama in Uzbekistan, the Solva went about the broken UFOs. I left the expedition at the end of the 80s of the last century, no traces of the catastrophe did not find.
But in the gorge Sardysh, the rock-made ancients of people in strange clothes, which can be interpreted as images of cosmic aliens are found. Similar rock paintings, as you know, revealed in the Caves of Spain, China, France and other places. Some of them were made 10-15 thousand years before our era.
On one of the high points of the plain Russia in the Volgograd region - the Mountain of Blue has long been the unusual Solva. That she attracted thunderstorm clouds and lightning discharges, light phenomena noticed above it. In its zone, animal behavior changed. In the cars passing around the cars nearby engines. They fell under anomalous impact and helicopters.
With another tint of Krasnoyarsk red comb. But the fame received he not for his colors, but for the manifestation of gravitational effects. There were cases of separation of people from the ground not to a tumbling or fall from the slope, but lifting in the air mysterious power of natural levitation.

The residents of Stavropol became fashionable to ride the largest mountain of Pyatigor. The temple of the SunClongs, abandoned gallery, the male monastery is not the entire list of attractions that are famous for the unique Beshtau, saturated with secrets and riddles.
Recently, residents of the Stavropol Territory covered the tourist boom. People spend the weekend in the picturesque corners of the region, looking for the most amazing places. The largest of the 17 volcanic mountains of Pyatigora - Beshtau, who was once a valid volcano, uses extremely popularity. People attract the abundance of various geomagnetic zones in this mysterious place, rumors about UFOs, the opportunity to get acquainted with the temples of various religions and, of course, the picturesque slopes.
Beshtau is translated from Karachayevsky as "five mountains". And indeed, the mountain has five vertices: the highest - large Tau, 1400 m high; On the eastern slope there is the top of the goat cliff (1167 m), on the northern slope - the small Tau (1254 m), on the west side - the shaggy kurgan (1080 m), on the South - Bald Mountain (1116 m). The names of the vertices are unofficial, so there are often options for their items. All together, with the center in the Great Tau, they form a kind of cross, referred to as Beshtaugorsky. And among the fans of this mountain there is an honorary title "Crusader" - a person who for one climb was held with a certain pendulum, all five vertices of the Beshtaughorsk Cross with a mandatory occurrence after each on a big Tau.
What Beshtau is called a mountain-laccolic is wrong. The correct name is a volcanic mountain. And the rocks of Beshtau are those places where Mugma broke through the cracks. Over time, residual and soft rocks weathered and rocks were formed - eagle and goat.
In Soviet times, the mountain was actively mastered: in its depths found uranium reserves. A specially educated enterprise "Almaz" worked here in the small town of Lermontov. In the early 90s of the last century, uranium mining stopped, the enterprise was repurchased, the uranium mines were closed on the mountain. But local and visiting diggers have long descended under the ground through the cut gallery, studying the mountain from the inside, while the flood of 2002 did not destroy and did not filled most of the moves of water.
lasil in the galleys .. there are not so much radiation, but how many all sorts of collapse, Rudas bresses for 70 meters, various holes, the iron mesh, which is located on the ceiling, for warnings of screeching has long been rotted .. there is one broken hands.
But there is terribly interesting.

Many legends and rumors are associated with Bestau. Especially often on the mountain or in its surroundings they see UFOs and even aliens. For example, recall such a case.
At the end of December 2003, a clear day, a resident of Lermontov Boris Sinitsin, his wife Tatiana and several friends rested at a hot hydrogen sulfide source on Mount Beshtau, not far from the men's second-Athos Monastery. Suddenly they drew attention to three figures, standing in four hundred and above the mountainside. The figures were about two-meter growth, yellow, silver and blue colors. They stood motionless, and there was a slightly noticeable radiance. Such stories about Beshtau quite a lot, like a lot and people. Which come to the mountain hoping to meet space guests, but experts relate to such stories skeptical.
I do not believe in the aliens, nor in UFO on Beshtau. If someone has seen something, then it is most likely some optical effects or, as they say, it is necessary to eat more hot drinks less. As a scientist I treat such rumors more than skeptical
But if scientists belong to the aliens and UFOs and UFOs, the obvious facts still allow them to burn the mountain into the discharge of unusual. It was on Beshtau who was founded and built the second-Afonovsky Assumption Monastery, blessing to the construction of which John Kronstadsky gave himself. Consecrated in 1904, in the years of the revolution, the monastery burned, his monks were subjected to praise and bullying, by 40 years of last century it was completely destroyed, but now rebuilt again and very popular among residents and guests of the region.
In the book on the life of the elder, Jeroshimonach Stephana tells that the Second-Afonov Assumption Monastery on Mount Beshtau became in troubled times the only solid stronghold of Orthodoxy in the vicinity of Caucasian Mineral Waters, non-all-keeped lamp of the true faith. Today, this is an amazing place where they were incidentally from the most righteous monks of Russia.
In addition to the currently operating monastery, artifacts can be found on Bestau.
On the northeast mountainside there is a sharply outstanding out the rocky ledge. There are the ruins of the temple of the sun of Scythians. This temple is a stony platform, on which a variety of boulders are pulled out. In the middle of the site there is a massive stone standing on three stuffs. It is the opinion that if the stones lie down in this small domed grotto, it will be enough strong energy.
Talk about Beshtau and legends associated with the Noah Ark. True, about his remnants, preserved on the mountain, not so much is written. But there is an interesting mention belonging to Peru of the Turkish traveler of the XVII century Evia Chelebi.
Anomalous is considered to be the zones of the North Caucasus, where inexplicable, from the point of view of modern science, phenomena. In some places (neighboring regions) there are antuclons (Kabardino-Balkaria), where the strength of attraction seems to be in the opposite direction, forcing the flow of water up the slope. In several caves, gelendzhik with people occur with strange metamorphoses, hormonal changes in the body (euphoria, excitation) are almost instantly observed. In our case, an abnormal zone near Beshtau, rather, paranormal.
The strangeness of human behavior in this sector under small Tau is described extremely poorly, mainly information was going orally. Double employees of KMV tourism checked the impact of an abnormal zone personally on themselves, fundamentally at different times of the year (winter and summer). And twice with test observers, similar inexplicable phenomena took place.
In the past few years, as in the country, instant alerts about various incidents in social networks, cases with endangered people, several were recorded here. With enviable regularity, once every 1-3 years, people were lost here. Rather, they were found (2 fixed mortal outcomes from 3 - died, lost, the boy from the club of sports orientation, and the woman who was walking) in completely different places, but they were going through this "black sector." Missing still listed another person of retirement age (man).
Abnormal zone of Mount Beshtau: Details and coordinates
There is an abnormal zone on Beshtau immediately behind the annular road on the plot, to the right of the eagle rocks. The unusualness of the place is not aware of not immediately, if you look at this shallow ravine with a ring road. There is nothing special, at first glance. Drill of a dry stream, pile of stones, several fallen trees. But there are interesting details, which will be discussed further.
Coordinates on the map:
Latitude
44 ° 6'29 "N (44.108044)
Longitude
43 ° 0'33 "E (43.009077)
What is the abnormal zone? If it were an accident, coincidence, or caused by the state of intoxication, then the conversation could be reduced to jokes. But this is not a joke at all, please note: it begins to disorientation almost instantly begins as soon as a person will make a couple of steps with a ring down, to the bottom of the canopy ravine. Moreover, this condition comes even from experienced local mushrooms, carelessly entered the sector in a relatively warm season, when there are many foliage on trees, and it reliably hides the exact position of the sun. A particularly dangerous abnormal zone becomes after 16:00 in the afternoon, when the sunlight is scattered, and the luminaries itself (outgoing rays) is difficult to detect. 
In people who came to the abnormal zone of Beshtau for the first time (as the panic attack, even a panic attack may occur. Due to the disorientation, the person begins to rush, and go towards Zheleznovodsk, delving into the forest. In general, the state of the resulting in anomalous zone can be schematically described as follows: the person in the first minute knows well that it is in this place and at this time, but where to return, it cannot be realized in a strange way. Consciousness persistently leads a person completely into another opposite from the ring road. 
Beshtau Abnomalous Phenomenon, Hypotheses
There is in the light of the place where abnormal phenomena after a century was quite a scientific explanation. For example, with a certain vibration of sea waves in the open sea in a number of plates of the planet, people can observe visual hallucinations (it is characteristic that these are the so-called "wicked places", where they see supposedly monsters), can deteriorate well-being. The infrasound resonant in some caves, reflected from the walls repeatedly, can call on the contrary, quite pleasant sensations (Gelendzhik caves). But here, at the foot of Beshtau, an abnormal zone is still waiting for his scientific research.
The likelihood of a certain sacred place in ancient times is not excluded. Pay attention to the arc radial processing the stone fragment found here. 
Such patterns were unlikely to relate to household buildings. Maybe this even part always attracted peoples and ethnic groups. The hypothesis of light-sound exposure is very logical: because the activity of the anomaly is marked (the most bright) between 16:00 and twilight. Perhaps some of the sunlight, scattering in the crowns of trees, creates a certain visual ephemeral illusion that our brain interprets in its own way, introducing us to delusion. Which is characteristic of the abnormal zone: there are never birds that never can hear, although on both sides of meters for 300, you can always hear and see the blue, dyatlov, throsts or even Waldshnepa.
It is not worth going to this place without taking with you an emergency set of tourist: from the compass to the navigator, from the lantern to the matches. After all, even very experienced people with the onset of twilight here lost spatial orientation, and went somewhere to Zheleznovodsk, for several kilometers. These are those who lucky enough to find the road ...
