Mystery 'death valley' in Siberia

Located in the northwest of Yakutia - Siberia, near the upper reaches of the Viliuy River there is a strange valley, where traces of major geological changes in the earth occurred hundreds of years ago. In this area, strange metal fragments are found deep beneath the soil, so scientists have not been able to determine their chemical composition. The local name of this land is Uliuiu Cherkechekh, also known as "dead valley".

The area spread over an area of ​​more than 1000 km ² , covered by large Taiga forests with lots of marshes, craters and a place where the meteorite crashes with the Earth .

Once upon a time, this land was the place of the people of the Evenk nomad. They came from Bodaibo, through Annybar, to the sea of ​​Laptev. Nomads recount that they often see metal plates with the same color as copper, but very hard and sharp, which can easily cut other metals. Each plate has a diameter of 6-8m, covering the metal shell is a layer like grinding powder. When using a knife to slash it, no scratches are left on the surface. Through analysis, the scientists found that these metal plates were fragments of large circular blocks containing enough people inside .

In 1936, while exploring the "dead valley," a Russian geologist discovered a red hemisphere metal, rising from the ground. This hemisphere is large enough to accommodate 2 people inside. At that time, geologists did not have enough necessary measuring tools and knowledge to determine what it was. By 1979, another archaeological group came to this place with the Russian geologist, the ground there was empty.

People living near the "death valley" said they witnessed many strange phenomena in the area , such as giant spheres rising from the ground, exploding and firing metal fragments. , the phenomenon of dry lightning, clay rock and the trace of meteorite collisions come from outside the Earth, many people said they saw firsthand the mushroom-shaped fireballs rising into the sky like an explosion of a In particular, it is found here that plants grow not like natural plants, they are very green, the leaves are larger than normal and there are many branches. body.

One of the strangest legends about the "death valley" was told by nomads Yakut: "One day, in the middle of the valley, it was suddenly covered by gray haze and lightning. A giant tornado rises from the surface of the earth, the dust flies hundreds of miles away. Bright light spread, followed by ear-splitting explosions (Photo: nexusmagazine) red like copper and emitting very shrill sounds. Soon after, it disappeared deep underground, leaving a giant crater with a radius of up to 20m. It is said that anyone who is curious to come close to the pit to see what has happened never comes back. Then in this area appeared giant fireballs that shot up from the ground. When they touched the ground, they caused terrible explosions and created holes 100 meters deep in the mountain area surrounding the valley. After these explosions, nomadic people have to leave here to find safer lands for their lives . "

According to scientists, the strange explosions in the legend are very similar to today's nuclear explosions . They also discovered that the remnants of "death valley" have many similarities to the mysteries of the ancient Mexican civilization of Maya (disappeared from 830 after the impact of a case). The explosion was created by a mysterious power that remains unknown until now. In particular, in "death valley" at certain times of the day, scientists measured higher levels of radiation than normal from underground.

Scientists believe that hidden deep in the soil of "death valley" exists the strong activity of magnetic currents . Because the Soviet army had previously chosen this place to test nuclear weapons, the residual radioactivity associated with the magnetic field in the soil caused this area to be heavily contaminated. However, the origin of strange metal plates is not explained here and it has not been analyzed. Some people even think that this is the fragment of flying saucers from extraterrestrial, because many people in this area have witnessed strange glowing objects flying up from the valley. So far, the mysteries of this land have not been clarified.
