In recent years, tourism associated with mysterious places has become popular in Russia: ancient excavations in the Crimea, pagan beliefs of the Udmurts, Orthodox shrines of Valaam and Solovki, Buddhist shrines of Kalmykia. Some tourists visit the dolmens of Adygea with great interest.
The magic of the magnet
Not only curious tourists, fans of mysterious stories come to the dolmens of Adygea, but also very serious scientists.
For more than five years the secret of the dolmens of Adygea has been trying to unravel the candidate of sciences, lecturer of aerodynamics and flight theory of the Southern Federal University Sergey Gerasimov.
The scientist is interested in the nature of the electromagnetic fields around the dolmens of the Kozhzhokh group and in the strange electromagnetic oscillations that are constantly recorded by sensors near the megaliths.
The scientist made a new visit to the homeland of North Caucasian dolmens in early January of this year.
The physicist constantly exposes electromagnetic sensors and video cameras near the Khadzhokh 1 dolmen in order to record the slightest changes.

Sounds in stone
Riddles and questions were not long in coming: each time the sensors record abnormally strong electromagnetic changes, the origin of which scientists are not yet able to explain.
“I almost always worked in Adygea in the summer. All previous measurements in the immediate vicinity of the dolmen invariably recorded the simultaneous occurrence of electromagnetic and sound radiation. This time I wanted to check what will happen at the dolmen in winter,”said Sergey Gerasimov.
So far, the results of the winter expedition have not been fully processed by scientists. But he can say one thing for sure: both types of radiation emanate directly from the "Khadzhokh 1" dolmen.
“When I fully process the data obtained in winter, I will be able to answer from which part of the dolmen the radiation emanates,” Sergei Gerasimov specified.
In May of this year, the physicist will continue his research, and in April the Russian Geographical Society invites doctors to Adygea to find out how the electromagnetic radiation of dolmens affects a person.

Local pyramids
Sergei Gerasimov is sure that in terms of the number of mysteries and oddities, dolmens can be compared with the Egyptian pyramids.
“In fact, the scientist knows little about dolmens. All dolmens of the North Caucasus are related by several factors. Megaliths have always been built in the most beautiful places, most often on the middle terraces of rivers. The portals of all megaliths are always directed towards the sunny side. At the "Khadzhokh 1" dolmen, this is east - southeast, at the "Khadzhokh 3" dolmen, this is an east-east - south direction, the "Khadzhokh 4" dolmen is turned in the east - southeast direction, "said the chairman of the regional department of the Russian Geographical Society Igor Ohgay.

According to him, the direction of the dolmen portals is quite understandable: most likely, the builders of dolmens, like most pagans, were sun worshipers. The sun was considered their main deity.
But how to explain that in some places, near the dolmen portals, sensors record strong electromagnetic oscillations, in others - only background ones, scientists do not know.
Perhaps it is no coincidence that the dolmen construction sites - areas with paranormal phenomena, with unusual energy - are popularly called "places of power"?
It is all the more insulting that out of 400 dolmens found in 1885 by the Kuban ethnographer Yevgeny Sinitsin in the vicinity of the village of Kamennomostsky, barely a dozen are in ruins, the rest are completely destroyed.
And now, active development continues in the security zone of megaliths, which there is no one to stop.
