In the main ridge of the Crimean mountains, there is a mountain range that was not previously noted with particular noteworthy - demerdzhi - yayla. There are many similar yailas, pastures - pastures in the mountainous Crimea. And there are well-known and truly famous ones, such as the Baydarskaya, Ay-Petrinskaya, Yalta. Demerdzhi - yayla - is almost the most extreme on the coast - to the east of the famous and popular Alushta, famous among tourists - resort tourists.
And there were no entrances to it like to the well-trodden western Crimea, glorified by Yalta and Sevastopol. The climate here, on the east coast, is dry, much less westward.
And yet, Demerji has attracted attention, especially in recent years. And even earlier, intriguing riddles were found behind her.
Where do the hallucinations come from? Here's what travelers have to say.
It was a clear sunny day. Clinging to the roots, we climbed the mountainside. Having got out on the rocky patch, they took a breath, looked around. Further below, in the misty solar haze, roads and houses of villages gleamed white, lakes and ponds gleamed. An eagle soared high in the sky. Here, among the forehead gray wrinkled rocks, dead silence reigned. Suddenly there was a rustle behind him. The green lizard darted into the gap underfoot. The restless feeling did not leave. Suddenly, several torn clouds floated out from behind the stone ridge. Like light, harmless clouds, however, shadows of bizarre shapes rapidly crept from the rocks, similar to some unearthly giant creatures. Their chaotic movement along the slopes covered with withered grass made a terrible impression ….
In the hours before sunset, the picture of the other world, inhabited by fantastic creatures, was complemented by bizarre rocks of ring-shaped and pillar-like shapes.
All this happened on the slope of the Crimean mountain demerdzhi in the famous valley of ghosts. It is said that after chatyrdag it is the most beautiful mountain in Crimea. How many hours a day has, so many times the demerji changes. As if a rainbow is shimmering on its slopes. On the side facing the valley, in which the houses of the village of radiant whiteness, one can see stone columns and fairy-tale figures. And at the southern end of the mountain there is a rock that resembles a woman's head in profile with a high hairdo and a comb in her hair. Where did these bizarre stone sculptures come from?
The Demerdzhi mountain range is composed of conglomerates and limestones, which are easily amenable to weathering and destruction under the incisor of the southern sun. Therefore, landslides are a constant phenomenon here. Traces of such destruction, which happened in 1984, are still visible in the form of a chaotic heap of boulders. Scientists believe that stone chimeras in the valley of ghosts and other places were formed as a result of landslides and tireless work of the Crimean winds. However, the people in their own way explain the origin of the stone statues. Here is one of the legends.

The Greek name for the mountain demerdzhi is funa, which means "smoking". The fact is that the surrounding residents have been famous for their blacksmithing art since ancient times. And the first Horn in these places people lit from the fire from the top of the funa. Once conquerors came to Crimea. And a stalwart black-bearded blacksmith began to forge weapons for them on the top of the mountain. He forcibly took workers from the surrounding villages. From the overwhelming work, the masters perished one after another. Then the elders sent a girl to the blacksmith to persuade him to leave the mountain. However, the lord of fire killed the beauty. The mountain could not stand such villainy. Shuddered and fell apart. When the flame went out and the dust settled, people saw stone sculptures on the slope - they were the likeness of a blacksmith and his assistants. The people remembered everything they experienced and assigned a new name to the mountain - demerdzhi, which means "Blacksmith".
Are there similar stone configurations in the world, granite - sandstone - gneiss "Mutations", natural sculptures that look more entertaining than the Krasnoyarsk "pillars"? We leaf through encyclopedias, listen to experienced travelers, and go in search.
Immediately comes to mind the glorious, midday Crimea with its bear - the mountain, the Miskhor rock "Mermaid" at the coast (the stone "monk" also wanted to approach it, but for this sinful incline he was washed away by a storm wave. In the same row of Crimean sights and the mountain Demerdzhi with chaotically scattered rocks "Finger-shaped" According to the local resort and tourist legend, these protruding "Fingers - Stolbiki" are fossilized enemy warriors who behaved here not in a chivalrous manner and even just plain ugly. What tribe they are is not specified: after all in the Crimea there was no one else - Greeks, Genoese, Alans, Goths, Turks, Tatars. And it is difficult to find a sinless soldier who would not marauder, did not seek wine and entertainment for the female sex. Therefore, these petrified idols can be considered international.
A rock that looks like a human head stands out among them. In distant times, it was attributed to some sorceress or Baba Yaga, and since Tavrida was conquered by the Russians under "Mother - Empress", the statue was called "the head of Catherine". In the future, it is clear that renaming is possible. All these statues create an extraordinary and peculiar energy of these places. During biotesting of the mountain slopes using a biolocation frame and a resonator in the form of a flask with water, carried out by the famous specialist Wilem Landa, individual narrow-local bands were traced, possibly coinciding with aquifers, shallow fissure-vein zones. These results also suggest the participation of the underground hydrosphere in the process of weathering and the creation of individual rock statues. However, some travelers do not denythat it could be the work of the departed inhabitants of these places.
The researchers were especially interested in the natural formation, which resembles in its outlines the image of a knight in a helmet with headphones, dug into the ground up to his chest. Similar stone statues, placed by unknown forces along the slope, remind many of the statues of Easter Island. So, a number of sculptures made of layered stone create an aura around themselves, which makes the bio-frame rotate up to six revolutions. It is possible that in this way single aquifers are traced.
The unique figure of the Camel, sadly looking into the distance, according to the same biotesting, is most likely located at the intersection of two mutually perpendicular energetic tectonic zones. There is also a stone resembling a humble lamb. At the foot of the massif there are phalos-like boulders like idols, recalling the world famous menhirs. An energetic aquifer can be traced between two similar formations in one of the photographs.
But all this is not enough. On the approaches to the figures, in the valley at certain hours, mysterious, bizarre shadows crawl from the rocks. Well, okay, this is according to the perception of sensitive and impressionable natures, but sober researchers had to be here, stop for the night and sober researchers. They also suffered from hallucinations and ghosts in the morning or evening.
Creepy in Ghost Valley. Few people risk staying here overnight. They say that the members of various expeditions and tourist groups in the predawn hours here are disturbed by all kinds of visions. In the end, the mystery of this valley near Demerji was solved. The reason is not in the radiation of bizarre rocks, but in plants - endemics. They live only in certain places and emit volatile substances in the morning hours. People who have breathed in these vapors have hallucinations.
And in 2003 fresh news came from Crimea. “The remains of a super civilization have been found! " The significance of this discovery surpasses the excavation of Troy. " Ukrainian enthusiasts - archaeologists led by geophysicist Vitaly Goh discovered seven giant pyramids on the territory of southern Crimea. This is a whole chain of such structures, which stretches in a straight line from Sevastopol to Cape Sarich, in the direction of demerdzhi. Why weren't they found earlier? And the fact is that these structures are underground. We came across the first pyramid near Sevastopol quite by accident, when a group of geophysicists drilled artesian wells in search of water. Scientists have stumbled upon narrowly directed ultra-frequency radiation (microwave.
The most fantastic assumptions about the purpose of these mysterious structures have been made. There is still a lot of work to be done by researchers. In the meantime, those who descended into this Sevastopol pyramid were getting rid of some ailments. (Among them there was a "New Russian" Muscovite, who "unfastened" a wad of money for research.) These are the surprises of the famous mountain Crimea.
