In Yakutia, there is the Vilyui River, on which a reservoir was formed near the republican border with the Irkutsk Region. To the north of this Vilyui reservoir in the Mirninsky district of Yakutia, there is an anomalous zone covered with legends and myths. This mysterious area is called Death Valley.
It's all about the cauldrons of an unknown alloy of metal lost among the local swamps, the origin of which remains a mystery. During their entire existence, these boilers have not oxidized or corroded, and their surface is similar in structure to rough sandpaper. In total, eight such boilers have been counted so far.
The local flora and fauna also have an interesting feature. It is surprising that there are no birds at all - for some reason, birds fly around this place and do not want to build their nests here. But, at the same time, the vegetation is very lush: especially near the boilers, the grass, bushes and trees are noticeably higher and denser.
The first mentions of Death Valley and cauldrons were found in local legends. They tell us that at the time when the Tungus lived on these lands, at night some unknown object fell from the sky to the earth. This was accompanied by loud noise, fire, and then - covering everything around with gray haze. When people were able to see something, they saw an incomprehensible round object lying on the ground. After some time, people began to notice that the object was decreasing in size, and soon disappeared completely from their field of vision.
After that, many times, hunters, gold prospectors, researchers, and brave local residents tried to find out what these metal boilers remained on the surface of the Yakut land. And everyone who descended into them noted a deterioration in their condition, some even disappeared. Even before the boilers went deep underground, there were daredevils who climbed onto one of their roofs. From there, through the hole, people saw a staircase leading down. Those who went down the stairs ended up in an unusual underground room, which consisted of rooms and corridors connecting them. But after returning from a mysterious dungeon, people fell ill with some kind of disease unknown in those places and died.

Then in 1877, naturalist researcher Richard Maack wrote a book about the mysterious cauldrons of Death Valley, thanks to which the amazing anomaly was known all over the world. Also, a resident of Vladivostok, who is looking for gold in Yakutia, visited here three times. He found such a cauldron and even went down into it. He did not find any rooms, stairs or corridors, but the underground room impressed him and his five friends. Immediately after spending the night, nothing happened to the men, but within three months after that, one of them lost his hair, and the second had bleeding wounds on his head that remained for life.
There is also a documented message from one of the local hunters, who told about the corpses of people dressed in knightly armor he saw in the cauldron. He said that their faces were haggard, and in the middle of their foreheads each had a third eye. There is a story about three students who slept near three such cauldrons. They allegedly felt inexplicable tiredness and dizziness. The locals also talk about a hunter-geologist who one night saw a dark object in the Death Valley area, silently jumping from branch to branch.
There are many versions about the origin of the mysterious Yakut boilers: from alien bases and the remains of an ancient civilization to natural formations unknown to science and an abandoned Soviet nuclear station. Some people call all these stories a mass hallucination. Other skeptics are sure that the boilers and other objects found in Yakutia are just fragments of space rockets. Moreover, it is here, according to official data, that the debris of the launch vehicles launched in Kazakhstan should fall. Then all diseases received by people are explained by increased radioactivity. But there is one important circumstance - many of the stories about Death Valley originated long before the advent of the rocket and space industry on planet Earth.
