One of the most mysterious places in Khakassia is the Sunduki mountain range, which stretches in the Shirinsky and Ordzhonikidze regions. People are still wondering what it is: an observatory of the ancients, a cult place, a landing site for alien spaceships, or all together?
People who are fond of the unknown will show you here and almost the oldest sundial on earth, and a site with unique acoustics (even a whisper can be heard on it from several tens of meters), and rock paintings of the Tagar time, on which, if you wish, you can see the outlines of people in spacesuits.
For more than 20 years, Vitaly LARICHEV has been studying the Chests, who defends the version that these mountains are a huge ancient observatory in the open air. Instead of devices for observing the sky - giant stones, rocks with notches (in them at a certain time constellations are visible to which they are "tuned") and a special arrangement of mounds in the valley. Moreover, astronomers with modern instruments also participate in the research of the Khakass sight. If the theory is confirmed, then even the British Stonehenge will look pale in comparison with the Khakassian Chests.
According to Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Valentina TUGUZHEKOVA, not everyone was interested in astronomical observations in ancient times. Only a select few. Priests. Near the Chests there was a valley of spirits, that is, only shamans and initiates could even walk here. It was an iconic place.
