The center of the Earth was designated in the Uchalinsky district
Everything flows, everything changes. World scientific thought does not stand still either. In the last twenty years, thanks to new scientific concepts, there has literally been a
scientific and information explosion in society. Space has revealed its secrets. As from a cornucopia, discoveries poured down, confirming the main provisions of religion, esotericism.
Scientists minds are seriously engaged in the study of the subtle (invisible) world, torsion fields, the energy of the physical vacuum, information memory of water, the Universe, anomalous territories of the Earth. The real sensational discoveries were marked by excavations and astroarchaeological studies of the "country of cities" in the South Urals - Arkaim, ancient settlements of the Uchalinsky region of Bashkortostan, shedding light on the emergence of our civilization, the human race.
One of these settlements, conventionally called Bakshay, near the village of Novo-Bayramgulovo was discovered as a result of a secret space survey back in 1956. In 1998, the circle hidden in it was deciphered. And only in 2004, thanks to the interest and financial support of the Eastern Economic and Humanitarian University, the National Museum of the Republic of Belarus, the Uchalinsky District Administration, an archaeological study of the site began. The head of the expedition was Vitaly Fedorov, candidate of historical sciences, associate professor of the department of Russian history at VEGU, specialist in Sarmatian culture, leading archaeologist of the republic.
In the summer of 2006, at the Russian seminar “Astronomical and ideological content of archaeological sites in the Southern Urals”, Vitaly Fedorov and a researcher at the archeology department of the National Museum of the Republic of Bashkortostan Yanina Rafikova presented preliminary results of the research that had begun. The authors of the report made an assumption about the significant age of the monument (at least 5000 years), as well as about its cult purpose. The report of the Ufa residents raised a lot of questions from both fellow archaeologists and astronomers. But in one opinion, all researchers agreed - the excavation must be continued. The archaeological expedition began the next stage of its work on July 10 this year.
When we arrived at Bakshai, excavations were in full swing there. VEGU graduates, historians Artur Kalashnikov and Nail Khidiatullin, laboratory assistant of the expedition, amateur archaeologist from St. Petersburg Alik Lingaliu carefully worked out rectangular pits, carefully examining every centimeter of the earth. They froze, studying a small subject. It turns out a stone arrowhead. Each artifact obtained - all kinds of tips, scrapers, cleavers, darts, crushers, crockery shards, bones, copper parts, are carefully packed by archaeologists in separate plastic bags. They have accumulated over thirty.
“We are currently excavating the entrance to the“folk calendar”,” said Alik Lingaliu. - It is a near-horizontal astronomical observatory in the form of a regular circle about a hundred meters in diameter. Moreover, the circle is visible from the top of the mountain - the grass grows on it in a special way. This is a kind of Uchaly Stonehenge. Similar objects have been opened in Austria, Czech Republic, Kurgan and Ryazan regions of Russia. But all of them are much smaller in size, so Bakshai is unique.
Bakshai, according to archaeologists and scientists, is a cult sanctuary and an archaeoastronomical monument at the same time. The location of their settlement and the "calendar" of the Aryans was not chosen by chance - it is convenient from all sides. First of all, this is a kind of interfluve, where the Ural, Mindyak and Bakshay brook merge. Secondly, the sanctuary is located exactly on the border of two continents - Europe and Asia. Thirdly, the glade, which was chosen by the Aryans, is a "plate" about a kilometer in diameter, bordered by a ridge of mountains. The circle for the ancients had a symbolic, divine meaning. Fourthly, this is a wonderful "home" pasture, a place for pasture cattle - cows, sheep. The Aryans were actively engaged in cattle breeding and agriculture.

“We failed to find any menhirs or observation points at the sanctuary,” said expedition member Andrei Tukh. - Because the field has been plowed several times. True, local machine operators remember some stones that were removed during plowing. When we cleared the mainland, ditches from 40 to 80 centimeters deep were opened, following the circumference of the sanctuary. In the middle of the first break in the moat - the entrance to the circle - a large, worked stone was placed. Pole pits were also found - on both sides of the "entrance" four powerful pillars were once dug in - the pits are quite deep. The entrance to the ancient temple is oriented to the north-east, and exactly to the top of Mount Berkut-oya, behind which the sun rises exactly on the summer solstice - June 22. If you draw a straight line from the open entrance through the proposed territory of the monument,then she will point to the mountain Yantyk-Bash. Mountains have always been sacred to people. Climbing them, the ancient Aryans (this is how scientists call them today) believed that they were getting closer to heaven, to God. For local "natives" the main cult place of worship was Mount Iremel.
“The locals are wary of the Berkut-oya mountain, they believe that it has unkind strength,” continues Andrei Vladimirovich. - And a mystical incident also happened to us - we are already overgrown with our legends here. Last year the weather was sunny, we wanted to climb to the top. And then such a terrible hurricane flew in, literally demolishing our camp. And we also noticed: if you make a wish in the center of the circle, only with pure intentions, it will definitely come true …
Archaeologists suggest that over time, the remaining three symbolic entrances to the ancient temple will be excavated.
The items found above are from the Bronze Age. And in the lower layers, objects were found much earlier, from the ancient Stone Age, possibly even the Paleolithic, which began about 40 thousand years BC. Very powerful ash layers were also found - the ancient people raked ash from the hearths, cleaned their homes. If the ancient settlement is about 12 thousand years old, then the sanctuary is about five thousand. His exact age remains to be determined. But one thing is clear: the Uchalinskaya "people's observatory" was built much earlier than Arkaim! According to the head of the expedition, Yanina Rafikova, for a thousand years.
- But we are waiting for artifacts of a different level, - Andrey looks at the center of the circle, - that would reveal the type of religion of the ancients, the names of the gods. We are waiting for the finds-symbols that personify their spiritual life and traditions. And we will definitely find them. There is no doubt that cult rites were held in the sanctuary, perhaps there are altars, burials. In any case, the objects found indicate that the ancients were fluent in folk crafts, cattle breeding. They had a holistic view of spiritual life, a system of moral values, teachings …
“Don't you think,” I ask the archaeologists, “that the Aryans had a deeper knowledge of nature, the Sun, the stars, the Universe than we do? There were magicians, priests in ancient times …
“Undoubtedly, they knew astrology better than modern man,” Alik Lingaliu replied, “and the laws of nature too, moreover, they knew how to use them - they chose the time to sow, go hunting, celebrate holidays, create families.
Someone thinks: our distant ancestors built structures as places of worship for the Sun, someone: that the found monuments are observatories where astronomers watched the course of the stars and the Moon. Most likely, both are together. Recently, the South Urals, its past have awakened an unquenchable interest in all this among scientists, archaeologists, writers. Statements of the head of the department of archeology, ethnography and socio-natural history of ChelSU, director of the Arkaim center Gennady Zdanovich, professor of the department of cultural studies and management at the State University of Management, Doctor of Philosophy Valery Chudinov, academician and scientist Viktor Kandyba, astroarcheologist, academician, researcher Arkaim Konstantin Bystrushkin, the writer and scientist Alexander Asov and others boil down to the fact that the South Urals, and in particular the Ripeysko-Irian mountains,spurs of Iremel-Alatyr, is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of the Aryans - the progenitors of world culture. It was the Aryans - Zoroastrians, who inhabited the "country of ancient cities", who erected temples with their own special belief - the Vedas, which they then spread in India, Iraq, Persia.
Having recently visited the village of Akhunovo and visited the menhirs, an ancient observatory, I learned: a bronze medallion depicting a cross in a circle was found in the sanctuary. Note that this symbol is the oldest solar sign, denoting the four main solar dates in the year - September 22, December 22, March 22 and June 22, the annual solstice. On the top of the mountain 666 meters high, which is located 12 kilometers from Akhunovo, the Aryans literally carved a circle six meters in diameter in the rock and with an impressive hole in the middle. There is another fact. The ancient name of the village of Uchaly as Mitryaevo has survived to our time, the origin of which is shrouded in deep mystery. Most likely it was associated with the cult of the ancient Aryan God of the Sun - Mithra. The villagers confirmed: in the village,On the shore of Lake Bolshie Uchaly, the remains of household items of an ancient civilization were once discovered. Moreover, the Aryans most likely approved their creed in Bakshay in a fundamental way - they dug a deep circle, "tore" it from four sides, and put stones on the gaps, thus marking a cross. It is possible that the stone was erected in the very center of the sanctuary. Similar religious buildings, according to Andrey Tukh, have been found in India, Egypt, Italy, and the Czech Republic. And the well-known Arkaim has the shape of a circle with four gates. Bakshai is a mini-Arkaim! Confirmation of this hypothesis is only a matter of time.that a stone was erected in the very center of the sanctuary. Similar religious buildings, according to Andrey Tukh, have been found in India, Egypt, Italy, and the Czech Republic. And the well-known Arkaim has the shape of a circle with four gates.

Historical studies say that the cult of the invincible Sun and the teachings that emerged in the South Urals - Mithraism, Zoroastrianism, preached by the prophet Zarathushtra, the ancient scriptures of the Avesta and Rigveda were later brought to India, Iraq, Persia, Greece, Italy. Mithraism took deep roots in the ancient world, its spiritual laws resonated in the hearts of many nations and became practically the first world religion.
Finally, the archaeologists invited me to drink some tea.
- Undoubtedly, the main discoveries are yet to come, - they summed up the line. - I am pleased with the benevolent attitude to the excavations of the local population. People are interested and help. We are very grateful to the head of the regional administration, Alim Salikhov, who recently visited here. He personally solves many everyday issues. Now 10 people work here. Quite recently, students from Ufa schools No. 29, No. 38 and the Alpha Lyceum left. They also helped a lot with the research. All participants in the excavation - enthusiasts, altruists, come with one intention - to get to the bottom. They live like in an exciting detective story: what will we find tomorrow? They feel great, probably, the energy of the monument is doing its good deed.
- By and large, - continues Andrey Tukh, - Bakshai, like Akhunovo, is a huge bonus for the Uchalinsky district, which can and should become a serious source of budget replenishment as a tourist destination. Historical tourism is gaining more and more popularity every day, people have become interested in their past. Objects need to be cultivated, advertised. But first of all, research. And this requires investments, the involvement of various soil scientists, geophysicists, paleozoologists, astroarchaeologists. Together with picturesque natural sites, powerful energy, archaeological sites can become components of a health and tourist complex, which will give an impetus to the economic development of the region. Our main task is to study it comprehensively, to extract all possible information.
- Now we can confidently say, - added the head of the expedition, Yanina Rafikova, - that Bakshay is 1000 years older than Arkaim. It turns out that the Bakshay builders are the ancestors of those people who built Arkaim.
In conclusion, it is worth noting: scientific research of historical monuments of the Southern Urals, new information can cause a real revolution in the scientific world, fundamentally shake the seemingly fundamental theories about the origin of Indo-European peoples, human civilization. And this time is not far off …
