For three years, Vyacheslav Morozov dreamed of visiting the Khara-Khora cave, which has long been legendary. Someone calls it the entrance to Shambhala, others do not believe in this hypothesis, but try to figure out where these ideally straight walls came from.
- 90% of cavers say that this is an artificial mountain, - said Vyacheslav. - I got the feeling that this is a mine, because it is very narrow for passage. It was difficult to get down there.
Mysterious cave
They have been trying to find the entrance to the cave for several years. The first who became interested in this unusual place was Artur Zhemukhov. Drawing parallels with the pyramids of Egypt and Maya, he calculated that on Mount Khara-Khora there must be a mysterious cave, in which in the 40s the fascist organization "Ahnenerbe" was looking for mysterious artifacts. According to Vyacheslav Morozov, you can see swastikas on the walls, but it is not a fact that this symbolism has any mystical meaning.
“Local residents say that there was a German defensive point here, and perhaps the soldiers were simply drawing these signs out of boredom,” explained Vyacheslav Morozov. - At least, "Kosmopoisk" adheres to this opinion.
The entrance to the cave is still a mystery. According to the Penza citizen, a strong air flow is coming out of it, but there is nowhere to dig. Artur Zhemukhov himself died under rather mystical circumstances.
- In 2015, he worked at a depth of one hundred meters and told his brother that he was on the verge of opening. However, on the same day he was hit and killed by a car, - said Vyacheslav Morozov.

Skeletons of giants
The second point of travel to Elbrus was the Aktoprak pass. There, in 2009, scientists discovered the skeletons of giants. The study revealed that the bones belong to those who lived here almost 4,000 years ago in 2000 BC. e.
Finds on the mountain
- Any part of the skeleton of those giants, more than human by 30%, - explained Vyacheslav Morozov. - That is, the growth of that giant reached almost three meters.
Now there are few bones left in this place: the largest finds were stolen back in 2009. However, according to the Penza citizen, there are settlements nearby where four-meter giants with elongated skulls once lived. He's going to go there next time.
Out of time
The last on the path of the researcher was the village of El-Tyubu, whose name in translation means "out of time". Some truly amazing things are said to be happening here. The water from the river does not freeze even if you put it in the freezer. In addition, time literally stops here every morning.
“Every day the hands of a mechanical watch go back 5-10 minutes,” the traveler explained. - The locals are already used to the fact that in the morning they set the correct time first.
Vyacheslav Morozov could not see such miracles with his own eyes: he could not stay overnight in the village, he had to urgently move on. However, next time he is going to go on an expedition for a longer time, so that the mysterious Elbrus will reveal more of its secrets.
