Passing death: Tragic mystery for 5 decades of humanity

The extremely difficult death of 9 Russian scientists in 1959 in the Ural snow mountains, which is called "Dyatlov Pass incident" , remains the "mystery of history" for more than 5 decades.

The fateful journey

In 1959, a group of 10 scientists working at the Ural Polytechnic Institute, now Ural National Technical University (Russia), came up with the idea of ​​conducting an experiment on the effects of altitude and extreme weather. for human body.

They by organizing to climb Kholat Syakhl mountain (local people called "Death Mountain" ) with an altitude of 1,895m, located to the north of the Ural Mountains.

On January 23 , 1959 , under the guidance of young engineer Igor Dyatlov, seven students and two young engineers began their fateful journey without knowing that "the future of death" awaits them ahead. .

After a few hours of preparation, Dyatlov and his colleagues boarded the train toward the Ural Mountains. In order to get to the location of the rehearsal to prepare for the expedition to the far north, they left the train, to "the Mountain of Death" by car.

On January 27 , a member of the group named Yuri Yudin became ill, and was forced to return to Sverdlovsk city. Yury Yudin never knew it was a fateful day, saving the rest of his life.

On January 31 , the expedition team arrived at the foot of Kholat Syakhl to prepare for the conquest of this mountain. Here, they cut down trees as a storehouse of food and tools to use when returning.

The expedition team kept in constant contact with the Ural Polytechnic Institute.

On the morning of February 1 , the expedition team began to do climbing. Under the plan, the group will try to climb to a mountain at 565m in the day and camp overnight here.

However, due to the snowstorm, they were disoriented and strayed to a pass on the other side of the flank of Kholat. And when he learned of the mistake, the leader Dyatlov ordered the whole group to camp overnight here.

As expected, the expedition team only took 3 days to climb to the top of Kholat, after performing some tests, they would descend the mountain to Vizhai town. Here, Dyatlov will be responsible for the Ural Polytechnic Institute to know the situation.

But until February 15 still not seeing Dyatlov contact, the Ural Polytechnic Institute decided to send a rescue team to see the situation.

On February 20 , both police and military were mobilized to participate in the search.

Strange things in the death of 9 scientists

After nearly a week of searching in the cold, harsh weather, on February 26, rescuers reached the camp site of the expedition camp.

Here, the mystery gradually becomes horrified when the rescue team finds dead bodies in different positions: 5 frozen bodies in a tattered tent, 4 other corpses are found quite far away .

They all carry mysterious injuries such as: The person with a broken head, a person with a tongue loss, a person buried in white snow, who only wears underwear.

In addition, the search team found a tent that was badly damaged and many footprints. According to them, the above footprints are traces of more than 9 networks of people scattered, emanating from the broken tent from inside.

The cuts, tearing from the tent showed that the people inside were terrified.

A corpse is found in cold snow.Fear is evident on their faces.

After conducting forensic examinations, 3 out of 9 victims suffered a huge force, equivalent to the weight of a truck, collided. One of them even broke his tongue.

As for the death of the leader, Igor Dyatlov, very terrible. He died in a prone position, leaning forward as if trying to drag forward.

One hand he tried to grasp the branch, the other hand was left behind his head like trying to block the critical blows.

In August 1969 , police investigations cited the following points:

1. All 6 members of the expedition group died due to a sudden drop in body temperature , the remaining 3 members died due to a serious injury.
2. No evidence was found to prove that a stranger appeared at the scene or the surrounding area.

A corpse is buried in cold snow.

1. All tent of the expedition team were destroyed.
2. All victims died 6 to 8 hours after dinner.
3. The trail left at the scene showed that all nine victims had fled the tent and died afterwards at various locations.
4. Trauma caused to 3 victims was found to be caused by a very strong force.
5. The victims' clothes were radioactive.

Although there are still many unanswered questions, the investigation is closed and the case file is sent to the secret archive.

Mysteriously buried in cold snow over 5 decades

After decades, more than 100 studies of thousands of different organizations and organizations, the cause of death of nine Russian scientists in the Ural Mountains is still buried deep in mystery.

The victims after death, whether detected before or after, although living with different skin and hair color, but after death, their skin has an unusual orange color, the hair turns gray.

The first hypothesis was that the victims were killed by the Mansi Aboriginal people who had long lived in the Ural Mountains when the explorers accidentally invaded the Aboriginal territory.

However, this hypothesis was later rejected because there was no trace of Mansi aboriginal presence on the scene.

Under the look of modern science, that mystery still has no more convincing solution than the hypotheses: Being torn by snowmen, aliens attacked, being murdered by soldiers .

Journalist Anatoly Guschin, one of the first to study the original file, still claims that some pages and an envelope mentioned in the file mysteriously disappeared.

In 1999, he published a book called "The Price of National Secrets of 9 Human Networks", hypothesizing concerning secret military weapons tests and government concealment.

Lev Ivanov, the head of the investigation, initially added the facts to this hypothesis when he was asked to bury the incident, although Ivanov continued to believe that UFOs and aliens were behind the whole. case.

Could some alien or force cause a disastrous death for 9 scientists? Cropped image from the movie "Dyatlov code".

"Dyatlov Pass incident" has become the most difficult and unexplained mystery in many decades.

Igor Dyatlov, head of the discovery team, is forever associated with the tragic event buried by the mystery, becoming the obsession of modern science.

What happened on the night of 1959 may never be known, but Dyatlov and his companions were certainly not forgotten.

The place where the group last camped before their death was officially named "Dyatlov Pass" , taking the name of the leader Igor Dyatlov.
