Caucasian Pyramid - Mount Tuzluk. Caucasian Pyramid Mount Tuzluk coordinates

Mount Tuzluk, as a permanent sentry, eternally met and attracted pilgrims going to the Holy Places of Northern Elbrus. And now it is impossible not to turn our 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. The link of the name of the mountain with saline solution - brine was very meaningless. But once a completely different bunch arose: ace - az - ace and bow, like a weapon. (Ace is the first, main card in the deck, an important person; Az is the first letter in the alphabet, the pronoun Az is God know, self-designation of the peoples Azov, Asov).

And indeed the mountain, when approaching it from the north, first looks like a bow with an unstretched bowstring, and then, when approaching it, it takes the form of a bow tightly stretched. So, maybe Tuzluk - Azluk - Asluk, - the bow of Azov, Asov, or my lukk.

The first time I saw her was twenty years ago. She then seemed very curious to me. But as always in a sports campaign there is no time for extraneous research. It is necessary to keep within the campaign schedule and then reach the place convenient for the bivouac.

And only in 2005, as part of the ELBRUS-RUSKOLAN expedition, we planned several hours to examine the area of \u200b\u200bthis mountain.

They left the base camp on Dzhilysa in the afternoon and, having overcome the Kayayeshik pass, were in the evening at Tuzluk. Having asked the shelter from the master spirits of the mountain, they settled down to spend the night near the spring at the eastern foot of it.

The next morning, unexpectedly, a GAZ-66 approached us from the side 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 Narzanov Valley.

So I was presented, I think, with the same spirits, all day, and not several hours as planned, and we did not lose it in vain. In small groups they all dispersed, to whom curiosity pulled.

In the evening, at a campfire in the Valley of Narzanov, everyone spoke about what they managed to see. And I managed to see a lot of interesting and even mysterious.

Pavel Otkidychev discovered fragments of rocks in the canyon of the Malka River with imprints of tree trunks, some small objects that have not yet been explained, rock paintings in the shape of a cross with a triangle or pyramid and coal seams. And this is not all the puzzles that he and other expedition members saw.

Cross and triangle. Similar drawingthere is on the northern slope of Mount Sirh.

Staircase and coal seams.

From the canyon of Malki on a plateau, to the mountain, in the closest place to it, a stone staircase rises. Judging by the photographs, it seemed to me a natural formation, but two to five thousand years ago this staircase could be trimmed, equipped with a railing or rope, and then it would not be difficult to climb up this staircase.

In the photograph next to the staircase, coal seams can be used that could be used in earlier discovered by the expedition of A.A. Alekseev and A.G. Evtushenko, very close, on the Tashlysyrt ridge, ancient metal-smelting furnaces.

And with Zhanna Demina, the geologist of the expedition, something magical happened. She left with her daughter Olga, a great connoisseur of flora, now a student of 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, covered in the sun, settled down to relax in a beautiful alpine meadow. And suddenly Joan saw a procession of people dressed in dark long tunics with their heads covered in hoods. People, slowly, passed by and went into the mountains. The last of them turned to Jeanne and silently beckoned for him. She became scared and cost a very great effort of will to not succumb to this call. She neither then nor now knows whether it was all in reality or it was some kind of obsession. She is sure of one that she did not sleep at that moment.

Mount Tuzluk itself (2585m) is located a couple of kilometers north of the Kayayeshik pass and 500 meters from the menhir, on the watershed of the Malka and Ingushli rivers. A single peak she advanced to the North from the root peak of the Tashlysyrt ridge of Mount Sirh. The silhouette of the correct form in the form of a giant pyramid cone is striking.

According to the results of a preliminary geological survey by Vyacheslav Tokarev, the mountain itself is a natural mountain range of layered hard quartzite tuff sandstones, in the steep upper part, and of weakly cemented to loose - sandy-clay tuff wavy layers in the gently sloping lower slope of the sole.

The feeling of man-made refinement of the slopes and the top of the mountain does not leave - some refinement in a geometrically correct form. Some scholars of the Cheops pyramid argue that at the base of it, there is a similar rocky outcrop, lined with stone or concrete blocks to give 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 Mount Tuzluk.

The mountain is well oriented in space. On it are located: from the south - a half-ring of a notch-notch in the mountain itself, the likely place of altars and amulets-charms with a large flat platform in front of it, an amphitheater facing the top. Perhaps mass rituals were also held here. From the west, at the bottom of the mountain, a megalith stone up to two meters high is set in the form of a large animal. At the top there is a round bowl with a diameter of about 15 cm. Apparently, this stone-calyx (we called it a bull) served to commemorate the souls of the dead, going west after the rays of the "dying" (leaving) sun.

To the east of the mountain, on a flat inclined plateau between the mountain and the cliff to Malka, there are large stones that have sunk deep into the ground. Some of them are overgrown and hidden by grass and soil. It seems that they were laid here in an orderly manner.

The southern part of the top of the mountain is a rock of quartz tuff sandstone. Its top is flat and is a continuation of the top of the mountain. The rock, it seems, is artificially cut to the base into four rock blocks oriented along the cardinal points. A. Asov believes that these blocks served as the basis of the temple structure of the ancients.

The top of Mount Tuzluk and Mount Sirh.

There is information of Vedic origin that in Tuzluk there are cell chambers, which were used by priests for solitude and self-knowledge. The mountain had a through passage from north to south. We found indirect evidence of this in the 2007 expedition. Having discovered a previously unnoticed gap or crack in the base of the summit blocks of rocks, we brought a flame to it, and it was torn into the mountain.

Among local people, news has remained that there is an underground passage now hidden from Malki Gorge to Tuzluk.

I would like to check all this with the methods familiar to modern 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 have been used by the ancient priests for the horizontal observatory. The other, necessary for such an observatory, latitudinal axis west - east is nearby. This axis is the peak of Mount Shaukam - the menhir “the anvil of Perun” on the Irakhitsyrt plateau - the peak of Mount Buruntashbashi, but, perhaps, another axis connected with Mount Sirkh was also chosen as ancient.

Mount Sirh blocks Tuzluk sky from the south side. On its upper part in the rocky eastern ridge there once existed two dwellings, most likely ancient priests-astronomers (stargazers), because the rather deep pits remaining from those dwellings are located just on the aforementioned Tuzluk meridional axis - Kalitsky peak.

Sir Mountain is a mystery. 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 to sacred festivities. Even now, after many thousands of years, anywhere in the North Elbrus region, the dowsing frame points to the Sirch, as the most powerful energy and prayer place. Unfortunately, we still know almost nothing about Sirk. We don’t 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 specialists historians.

So, for an examination of Mount Tuzluk and its environs, the day passed quickly. At 15 o’clock the Heavens turned on “watering the grass” - a daily short warm rain, which is very characteristic only for the Dzhilysu region in July-August. The tents were already packed in backpacks and we, waiting for the car, hid everything under one piece of polyethylene. In less than half an hour, the car appeared, and then the rain stopped abruptly. When we plunged into it, the rain was again turned on, but we were already under the tent of the car. After four kilometers, the car left the rain zone for the very dusty road zone. In two hours we covered the distance that we had to cover in two days.

We thank the guys from the Ministry of Emergencies for an unselfish gift.

They decided to spend the presented days in the Valley of Narzanov. They found a fabulously beautiful corner in the gorge of the Khasaut River and camped. Sunny days were spent in raspberries and warm river baths. In the evenings around the bonfire, they exchanged observations and impressions from the expedition. The people were blissful!

In general, the whole campaign went under some kind of patronage, as if God had a 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 Malkinsky Path very familiar to me. 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 clouds were supposed to begin and could not find the continuation of the trail. (Oblaz - the place where the river is pressed against the rock and it is necessary to climb over it). It was all the same to me that I couldn’t find the front door at home. But, to my amazement, I could not find the paths and decided to return a little to the just cleared glade. The next morning, when they were still sleeping, I came to the cloud - the path was in its place and could be clearly seen. I went along it and at the very inflection again, as if I had rested on something. He did not try his luck, turned around and began to descend. And suddenly he fell on a stable path. Only experience and the ice ax helped me not to fly off the cliff. I understood why the path 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. By the end of the second day we trampled a wide path in the tall grass on a steep descent from tents to a river. Rising along 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, with folded hands and a runic inscription at chest level. Rune, none of us, to our shame, knew.

They suggested that this is an image of some Old Russian God, because in these places, until 1943, Old Believer brigades mined gold. We decided to take him to Pyatigorsk and offer it to the museum of local lore.

God Veles.

They brought me to Pyatigorsk on Monday, and on Tuesday I was invited to take part in the festival of Perun in the Velesova Polyana at the foot of Mount Beshtau. The festival was held by the Kavminvodskoy Vedic community on Wednesday. I decided to show the communes our find. All those present gathered around. Another woman came up and suddenly cried out in excitement - Rodoslav, come along, look at your work. It turned out that two years ago they were on a camping trip in the Valley of Narzanov and he cut down this image of Veles from a log. The whole tourist group, they solemnly installed it over the river. But the roofing felts were not deeply dug, the roofing felts he prevented someone, but we found him defeated in the dust and already pretty eaten by rot and insects.

At the first moment, I felt disappointed due to the fact that this idol was not a historical value, but a remake, but amazement came after it. 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 it in a fire, throw it into the river, or even take it somewhere else, but no, Veles himself came to his creator on his festive day.

There are too many coincidences, from the delivery of us from Tuzluk to the Valley of Narzanov to the soft but persistent retention of us at the clearing where he lay down to the ground.

After all this, analyzing the cases that have happened to me in the mountains over the years and not only in the mountains, I come to the conclusion that we are always under the protection of our Gods. It is only necessary to learn to listen to them, to praise and thank them for this, without asking anything from them.

Glory to our Gods and Ancestors!

On the territory of Kabardino-Balkaria there is an unusual mountain, inspecting which a person experiences a double feeling. He feels that this is not a creation of nature, but something man-made. Mount Tuzluk serves as a place of pilgrimage and an interesting attraction of the region. Legends are still being made up about this hill.

Mysterious Mount Tuzluk

It is believed that the mountain is a secret chamber 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 activity of the oracle and on it everyone could get their prediction. Pythia brought it to people who broadcast under the influence of vapors coming from crevices. Mount Tuzluk still emits some gases from its bowels.

To get to this hill is not difficult, right underneath is a 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, this building raises many questions. From a bird's eye view the pillars resemble a cross, and there is a feeling that they are specially installed for incomprehensible purposes. It can be assumed that this place was a sanctuary or observatory. Scientists made experiments and came to the conclusion that more than 4000 thousand years ago, rituals of sacrifice and purification of the soul were performed at this place.

Pyramids of Elbrus

On the western side of the mountain is a stone remotely resembling a bull. It symbolizes the feminine. Nearby is a stone with a concave top, for performing rituals. This place is surrounded by stone pyramids, having a phallic shape and depicting knights. They represent the protection of women.

Scientists suggest that once on the top of the mountain was the temple of the Sun, since the sunrise, in the days of the equinox and confrontation, corresponds to the established altars. Others believe that the sanctuary is located in the mountain. Those who lingered for a long time on the top say that the rock mass breathes, releasing incomprehensible air from a deep crack.

This mountain does not just attract attention, it stops the gaze of everyone who sees it, especially for the first time. Its forms are so ideal (sloping-ironed), especially in comparison with other elevations located nearby. Involuntarily, the idea arises that not only natural forces, but also some other ones — reasonable, or rather, to say, exist outside of our understanding, our knowledge, were involved in the appearance of the mountain. It is no coincidence that Tuzluk - and the talk about him - gives rise to a great many assumptions, legends that are created almost in our eyes, and of course incredible conjectures.

And the most fantastic ones - starting with the fact that the mountain is loose, and inside it is hollow. And this cavity is a huge hall. The same that is in it is generally beyond the limits of human perception. According to another, more mundane version, in the distant, distant times (we are talking about four to five thousand years), there was a sanctuary here: the so-called oracle, that is, the place where divination is made. The most famous of the oracles is the god Apollo in ancient Greek Delphi. The Pythia, the priestesses (in our case, the leading ones), who divined under the influence of stupefying vapors coming out of a crack in the ground, came into a semi-unconscious state and began to broadcast what was going to happen. Wrong? But even these assumptions have the right to life, until the opposite is proved. Moreover, fumes from Mount Tuzluk are present.

However, first things first. If you get to the area of \u200b\u200bJily-su, in the North Elbrus region, through the Valley of Narzans, then to the designated hill a little more than forty kilometers. Tuzluk is impossible not to notice, since the view of the mountain opens from afar, and the road itself passes right below it. Its height is relatively small - 2585.3 meters, but Tuzluk is almost steeply going up from the level of the road by a hundred meters. Naturally, this climb does not present any particular difficulties, nevertheless, the majority of those going to the mineral springs of Jila-su does not stop at the mountain. But in vain, after going upstairs, you find that at the top there is a fairly flat area, the length of which is about two times the width. At the very beginning, four stone pillars, representing something like a cross, bulge out of the ground, or rather, it would grow. In any case, just such a feeling arises when you look at the stones from above, from a helicopter height. And the internal expediency, the geometric proportionality of the stone giants with the general view of the Tuzluk crown is literally striking. As if they were used for some purpose (isn't this the assumption that the boulders were set artificially?). For which? Temple complex? Ancient observatory?
It was precisely in the summer of 2001 that a Muscovite Alexei Alekseev came to such conclusions, who subsequently founded the constantly operating expedition “Caucasian Arkaim”: “Taking azimuths from the Tuzluk peak to all objects that are noticeable in the vicinity and comparing them with the calculated ones, we came to the conclusion that the sun on the days of the solstices should rise near noticeable landmarks. And this is one of the most important signs of all known near-horizon observatories.
The following year, 2002, with the help of the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Sternberg State Astronomical Institute, we had professional calculations of the azimuths of sunrise and sunset on the days of the solstices and a number of other important astronomical events.
... In the morning of June 23, on the second day of the solstice, we managed to climb to the top of Tuzluk and establish a theodolite. This morning the fate of the expedition was decided, and probably all of the ideas expressed by us. If the sun rises over a notable landmark, the hypothesis of the Temple of the Sun on Mount Tuzluk on the northern slopes of Elbrus will half-cheat the right to exist ...
A night is running out, a narrow streak of light is lit above the horizon beyond the Dagger massif. The red strip gradually grows, purple, blue, and then a golden glow joins it. It is expanding, taking half the sky. A violet stripe shifts beyond Elbrus - a shadow from the Earth - the border of day and night. The sun has already risen above the horizon, but it is hidden from us by an array of daggers. He turned pink and then gilded Elbrus. The rays of the low sun burst through the valleys through the mountain passages, gilding the surrounding peaks.
And in the deep saddle, near the southern edge of the Dagger, a dazzling point appears. Here she is at the crosshair of the vizier. There is a countdown! The sun rises from the earth before our eyes. ”
We did not happen to meet the dawn precisely on Mount Tuzluk, but more than once we watched the appearance of the star in some ten kilo meters from this place - from the meadow, where in 1829 there was an ex-expedition camp of Emmanuel. The spectacle is not just amazing - amazing, stunning, truly fantastic. As if you are present at a great event - the birth of not the next day, but life itself. Probably, these feelings in no small measure contributed to the fantastic assumptions of the scientist from St. Petersburg Vyacheslav Tokarev and the five-townsman Vladimir Stasenko, participants of another expedition - “Elbrus - 5500 years into the depths of time”, that “for ritual purposes Mount Tuzluk began to use more than 4500 years before our era. Then its top was a flat solid slab, abruptly breaking off towards Mount Sirch. This site was used as a ritual. Later, in 3200 BC, the slab was cut up and down. The cuts are oriented to the cardinal points. In the body of the mountain, under the thickness of dense quartz sandstones, an underground temple of Mother Earth with four chambers was built.
They held rituals of initiation and purification of the soul. Since then, on the western slope of the mountain there has been a stone block reminiscent of a bull (female cult) - a stone-cup with a depression in the upper part. And around Tuzluk stone pillars-menhirs are installed as a belt of its energy-information protection. One of the phallic-shaped menhirs with the face of a knight stands above the canyon of the Malka River, between Tuzluk and Sirh. The shepherds say there are at least six other similar stones in the area. Thus, the “feminine” principle in the bosom of the mountain was, as it were, taken under the protection of the energies of the “masculine” principle.
On the summit of the mountain 900-800 BC, a stone temple supposedly existed. It was abandoned in 450-600 years of our era, apparently, with the end of the Golden Age of the Trojan Ages. Time scattered his stones. Only a few slabs remain. ”
It is clear that such a specific dating of events taking place over thousands of years in these places is not supported (and cannot be) by any evidence; it is entirely based on the assumptions, assumptions, conclusions of its authors. And therefore, it is not just controversial, but anti-historical: not a topic for serious discussion, but more an occasion for sarcastic remarks.
But, really, I don’t want to yank or seriously appeal to known historical facts (however, what, by and large, do we know about those times, especially about what happened in our places? Absolutely nothing). I don’t feel like it either, because here, in the Northern Elbrus region, among the majestic giants who have measured out what has been seen for millennia, the most incredible assumptions do not cause such a rejection that they would have caused somewhere below, on the plain. You are surprised to find yourself thinking that you’re not looking for counterarguments, but trying to imagine if this could have happened or not. Especially when you talk with Vyacheslav Tokarev - not just an enthusiast, but a true ascetic and patriot, sincere in his desire to open the curtain over the distant past. Moreover, all this is based on deep comprehensive knowledge, clearly built argumentation.
And therefore, even the assumption that the sanctuary was located on the mountain, that the witches, breathing in the fumes coming from the earth, could see the future from the Tuzluk oracle, unwittingly looking for confirmation. Looking and finding! Indeed, there is a narrow crack between the stone laminated pillars that goes somewhere deep enough. The depth cannot be checked by throwing something into it - it is very narrow, but by the thrust with which the lighter’s flame brought to the hole rushes down, you understand that there is some kind of cavity inside.
What is it like, how far does it go - you can’t find out without special devices, only if ... Without being too lazy, one of us runs down and again, now with two full half-liter bottles of narzan in his hands, he climbs with considerable difficulty on a sheer mountain, leans over the gap and begins to pour water. It leaves instantly - it does not slide on stone walls, but it pours, as if into a void. The "mouth" of the mountain absorbs water, so it already ends, but nothing happens. And what, by the way, should happen? ..
Under the scorching July sun, I silently sit by the huge boulders at the top of Tuzluk, and my lips whisper uncomplicated lines:

Yarilo red scarlet,
Water favored pouring
And everything that happened here
Let it happen again
Let it happen again ...

And suddenly the mountain as if sighs - a long, long, painful. I clearly hear him: I bend over the gap and feel how the air acquires density, elasticity, flowing around my face.
I don’t feel anything else, but I don’t leave, still peering intently, listening intently. Uphill? In yourself? To the outside world?
After five to seven minutes, it tingles in the head, it becomes filled with ta-tin, and after a while, voiced milk points begin to knock. Their periodicity increases with each passing moment, and now I am bouncing off the gap, unable to withstand this crazy rhythm. You catch yourself thinking that the moment of insight has not come. And you console yourself: but the role of the Pythia was not accessible to every woman, but only to the elite. However (we speak in all seriousness), and the vapors coming from the earth’s womb, over the past millennia, could change, lose their strength. And the idea that there is an underground temple in the mountain does not seem so absurd as before.
... Looking at the members of the expedition (I had a chance to get to know many of them in the summer of 2008), who came to the Caucasus from the most remote places of Russia, people of various professions (in their list - an astrophysicist, pharmacist, geologist, doctor, university teacher ), a high educational level (many candidates and doctors of sciences), you understand that faith gathered them together. Belief in a miracle, in the ability to lively touch the past, which has not disappeared without a trace, simply cannot leave, you just need to find and see the marks and traces left by it. It is this desire that drives these people who spend sleepless nights on Mount Tuzluk, meet a fiery dawn on its peak, which has become a temple for them, as for ancient people. The temple is not so much the Sun as a meeting place - with oneself.
And therefore, if we don’t separate, then at least we will carefully listen to the conclusions of their associates, members of another annual expedition, the Caucasian Arkaim: “There was an ancient astronomical observatory on the banks of the Malki River in the vicinity of Mount Tuzluk - the temple of the Sun. The expedition recorded the sunrise during the summer solstice over the only noticeable landmark on the horizon in this sector. In the same period, the azimuths of the rising and setting of the full moon were noted. The calculations showed that some other solar and lunar events occur near noticeable landmarks. Thus, the results of instrumental observations confirmed that Mount Tuzluk could serve as a near-horizon astronomical observatory.
Near it is a stone phallic menhir, as well as processed stones called "altars" and, probably, served religious purposes. The line between the “altars” is close to the west-east direction (+ 5056´). The direction between the “eastern altar” and menhir No. 1 (+ 5058´) is perpendicular to this line. Data updated by satellite navigator JPS. This deviation is close to the value of magnetic declination (+ 5019´). The fixing on the terrain of the sides of the horizon is the most important sign of a near-horizon astronomical observatory.
To the south-east of Mount Tuzluk a rocky ridge was found with many cup-shaped depressions, probably of cult significance, conditionally called the ridge of "cup stones". The line between Menhir No. 1 and the western edge of the "cup stones" exactly coincides with the current north-south direction.
Thus, the proposed temple complex in the area of \u200b\u200bMount Tuzluk could well serve both for religious purposes and for tracking calendar dates.
In total, in the vicinity of Mount Tuzluk, we noted 14 significant objects. Of these, four are of natural origin: Mount Tuzluk, the hill we called “Severny”, the lava bridge across the Kyzylsu River, which we called the “Kalinovy \u200b\u200bBridge” and towering among the food fields of Elbrus - the peak of Kalitsky. To semi-artificial, modified objects, we conditionally refer to “cup stones” and “altars”. Four menhirs and four rounds are objects of artificial origin.
Some of these objects are located along straight lines. Direct No. 1: Northern Hill - Mount Tuzluk - Kalinov Bridge - Kalitsky Peak. Most likely, it coincides with the tectonic fault and, of course, of natural origin. Line number 2: Mount Tuzluk - Menhir No. 1 - the eastern edge of the "cup stones". Line number 3: the eastern "altar" - a tour under the road - Kalinov bridge. Line No. 4: Mount Tuzluk - eastern “altar” - menhir No. 2. The direction of line No. 1 is 2o50´ west of the north direction, and line 3 of the same direction, but 2o57´ to the east. Together, these angles are 5 ° 47´, and as noted above, the line between the “altars” is + 5056´ from the west-east direction. The direction between the “eastern altar” and the Kalinov bridge (+ 5058´) is perpendicular to it. "The above results indicate that the objects around Tuzluk are in a strictly defined order."
With the kind permission of the leaders of the expeditions, we publish lines from their reports posted on Internet sites.

(2585m) is located a couple of kilometers north of the Kayaeshik pass and 500 meters from the menhir, on the watershed of the Malka and Ingushli rivers. With a single peak, it advanced north from the root peak of the Tashlyt-syrt ridge. The silhouette of the correct form in the form of a giant pyramid cone is striking. Some scholars of the Cheops pyramid claim that at the base of it, there is a similar rocky outcrop, lined with stone, or concrete blocks to give 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 half-ring of a notch-notch in the mountain itself, the likely place of altars and amulets-charms with a large flat platform 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 cell cameras used by priests for solitude and self-knowledge. The mountain had a through passage from north to south. Among local people, news has remained that there is an underground passage now hidden from Malki Gorge to Tuzluk.

Near the foot of Mount Karakai, stands a lone menhir. A knight's face is carved on a stone pillar, looking directly to the east. And beyond the menhir, a bell-shaped hill is visible. This is Tuzluk ("Treasure of the Sun"). Another translation is “salt shaker” (from the word “ace” with the meaning “salt” in Turkic). And on top of Tuzluk are the ruins of the ancient sanctuary of the Sun. The very structure of the sanctuary, the method of processing stones indicate the Cimmerian times. At the top of the hill is, firstly, a tour marking the top. At the top there is a round bowl with a diameter of about 15 cm. Apparently, this stone-cup was used to commemorate the souls of the dead, leaving forq after the rays"dying" (outgoing) sun.Then there are three large rocks that have undergone processing. Once a slot was cut through them, directed from north to south. Also at the top there are stones laid out as sectors in the zodiac calendar. Each sector is exactly 30 degrees.

And how can one not recall the description of the temple of the Sun at Masudi: “In the Slavic lands there were buildings revered by them. Between the others, they had a building on the mountain, about which philosophers wrote that it is one of the highest 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 for observing the sunrise, about the precious stones and signs marked in it, which indicate future events and warn against accidents before their implementation, about the sounds emanating in its upper part and what comprehends them when listening to these sounds ”.
Perhaps this is the same temple near the Great Mountain.

It is also interesting that the peak of Mount Tuzluk and the peak of another sacred mountain - Kalitsky peak are located on the north-south axis, on the same meridian, which could not have been used by the ancient priests for the horizontal observatory. The other, necessary for such an observatory, latitudinal axis west - east is nearby. This axis is the peak of Mount Shaukam - the menhir “the anvil of Perun” on the Irakhitsyrt plateau - the peak of Mount Buruntashbashi, but perhaps another axis was also chosen that was related to Mount Sirh.

This place is the place of numerous meetings with UFOs, as well as the object of scrutiny by the top of the Third Reich and the Ananerbe organization.

The materials from the book "Ruskolan: Ancient Russia" (History and traditions of the Russian Cossacks) are used. M., Veche, 2003

The height of Tuzluk Mountain is 2585 m. It is located at the branch point of the Malka Ingushli rivers, half a kilometer from the kayayeshik pass on the north 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 Turkic, “ace” is “salt”, that is, such a kind of “salt shaker,” others translate as “Treasure of the Sun.” There is also the following theory, the very name " Brine"Is divided into two - this is" ace "and" bow. " The ace is the main deck in the cards, and the bow is in the understanding of weapons.

In ancient times, Tuzluk was a symbol of the sentry and met pilgrims following the holy places of Elbrus. Today it is difficult not to pay attention to this mystical bewitching miracle of nature. Surprisingly, Mount Tuzluk is several millennia older than the pyramids that are still in Egypt today. According to many evidence, 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-knowledge. There is also a belief that there previously existed a passage underground (hidden today), as well as a passage through the entire mountain from south to north.

There really is a lot of mysticism. If you look closely, the mountain is pretty well oriented in space for various rites. 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 at the top. Perhaps this is also a participant in a ritual. In the east between Tuzluk and the cliff to the river there are large-sized stones, overgrown in soil and as if put up here specially in their own order.

Many more examples can be cited as evidence of the existence of mysticism in the Caucasus Mountains, namely in the Elbrus region. And they all say that it was here that the main secret rites with otherworldly forces took place. These facts fascinate adventure lovers and magnet attracts numerous tourists here.
