An ancient structure, comparable in scale with the pyramids of Giza, was discovered in the North Caucasus.
We are used to thinking that the main megaliths of the planet are concentrated in Egypt, South America and China. Our dolmens, which are conventionally referred to as megalithic structures, look like dwarfs against the background of pyramids and “great walls”. But recently, a system of mysterious underground structures was discovered in the North Caucasus. So, in Kabardino-Balkaria, near the village of Zayukovo, mysterious multi-kilometer tunnels have been opened. Researchers assume that they connected ancient settlements that existed on our planet thousands of years ago. It is curious that all the tunnels are concentrated around a huge underground structure in the form of an overturned pyramid …
Wonder city
“For many years we have been searching, went to the places of the alleged dungeons, listened to the old-timers,” says Vadim Chernobrov, head of the All-Russian public research association “Kosmopoisk”. “And last fall we moved to the place where, according to the stories of the aksakals, the Old City is located. This is not an allegory, but a literal translation from the local dialect. Old-timers say that it was built by people who lived here before them. Nobody knows for certain who lived here, what kind of people."
The object is located at an altitude of about one kilometer above sea level. Locals showed the researchers one small hole in the mountain. The entrance is very narrow - about 30 centimeters in diameter. The guide told that the local population has a legend: if you get there, then you will find yourself in a huge city, where there are squares, streets and houses, but no people. Indeed, the search engines found themselves in a vast dungeon, which, gradually expanding, stretches in depth for tens, and possibly hundreds of meters.
When the researchers began to examine the area around the manhole, they found a wide crevice. Perhaps this is the main entrance to the dungeon, because if we assume the very fact of the existence of an underground settlement, it is unlikely that its inhabitants made their way through a narrow gap. Perhaps, going down the manhole, it will be possible to get to the "main street". Last year, due to the weather, this could not be done, the researchers postponed the descent until the next summer. However, there was also a second find - not far from the Old City, another hole was found. The local historians Maria and Viktor Kotlyarovs were brought here by the climber and speleologist Artur Zhemukhov, who was training in the mountains and noticed a strange depression.
Stones are piled on top, bushes grow, and in appearance this is an ordinary hole, which is apparently invisible in the ground. But Arthur noticed that there was a lot of leakage from the hole. This means that there is a large cavity in the ground. He began to widen the hole and fell into a huge shaft, which led somewhere into the darkness. One did not dare to climb there, he called a detachment of cavers. They went down into the mine and realized that there was no end in sight of the dungeon. “The first thing that caught their eye was that the main walls in the mine were clearly artificial,” says Vadim Chernobrov. - They are made of flat stone blocks of about the same size as in the Egyptian pyramids, and stacked according to similar technologies - one on top of the other. Each weighing 50-100 tons, well processed, although over time, chips and cracks appeared."

What is this mysterious masonry? There are no traces of concrete or other mortar, as in the Egyptian pyramids. It is not clear how the ancient builders fastened the blocks together, but it is clear that they have been standing for more than one thousand years and even a needle cannot penetrate the seam.
When the cavers went deeper into the cave, they found a strange column. It seems to hang in the air, but at the same time it is firmly attached to the wall. Apparently, the dungeon is colossal in size, and people managed to explore only a small part of it. They advanced 100 meters deep. And they ran into narrow passages.
Wonder machine
The fact that the dungeon was not intended for human habitation became obvious to the search engines when they explored the entire accessible part of the cave. It turned out that it is crammed with narrow passages, where even a child cannot squeeze, and tiny holes where a human hand can hardly get through. Each such mini-cavity goes far into the depths: the light from the flashlights does not reach the bottom. What is this structure? The researchers got the impression that the underground pyramid has a technological rather than a sacred purpose. It looks like a kind of machine, an engineering structure of unknown purpose. “It looks like a kind of resonator, a device for seismological research, exploration, mining, or an energy generator,” says Chernobrov. "It is impossible to say exactly yet - no analogues have been found in the world."Many people think of an analogy with the mysterious cavities inside the Egyptian pyramids, which are also not intended for the movement of people.
A person, in principle, cannot get there, but the ancient builders made them conscientiously. These narrow manholes also lead dozens of meters deep, but why and where is a big question. Sometimes they end with rows of doors with handles, behind which are rooms of unknown purpose. There are plenty of versions about the purpose of the underground passages: a "refrigerator" for storing food, the home of the ancient Aryans, a giant air conditioner, an air duct. Or, for example, a giant energy generator … There is information that during the Second World War, researchers from the SS organization "Ahnenerbe" were seen in these places, which, as you know, was looking for an entrance to Shambhala. They say that Hitler considered the Caucasus, along with Tibet, "a place of the focus of Power" and "the center of control of the World." And allegedly he was eager for the Caucasus for this very reason.
Researchers, of course, pay attention to the fact that the very Old City is located next to the pyramid. And it is assumed that these two objects are somehow connected. Indeed, for example, in Turkey, near the village of Derinkuyu, an 8-storey city was found underground, designed for permanent and comfortable residence of 40-50 thousand people. There are houses, outbuildings, bazaars, shops, water supplies, wells and ventilation hatches.
In a word, a miracle of engineering technology, which is at least 4 thousand years old. Now about a dozen underground cities have been excavated in the world, three of them have become tourist sites. Moreover, it is known that some cities have underground communication with each other. These are huge distances - hundreds of kilometers. According to some scientists, the strange hum, which was recorded by scientists in different parts of the planet, is nothing more than air draft in the system of man-made underground communications located in the depths of the earth.
If this summer it turns out that an underground city really existed near the village of Zayukovo, then the pyramid can be considered a kind of technical installation that ensures its life. And then the "Zayukov miracle" will turn out to be the largest man-made prehistoric structure on the territory of modern Russia.
Opinions
Vera Davidenko, site manager of the Kabardino-Balkarian geological exploration expedition:
- The fact that underground caves are of man-made origin is a moot point. The tuff of the Zayukovsky site is an accumulation of volcanic ejection products - ash, pieces of lava, volcanic glass and, to a small extent, fragments of rocks that make up the crater walls. The material of the ejection was hot during accumulation, and therefore, during solidification, cracks formed separately, that is, the entire tuff massif was, as it were, broken into blocks. Consequently, the depression found in the area of the village of Zayukovo is one of such cracks of gravitational separation, which is characterized by flat contact surfaces. Another thing is that ancient people could have used the natural cavity.
Alexander Pankratenko, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor of Moscow State Mining University:
“I examined a sample of" mortar "taken by cavers from the stone blocks of the cave. It looks like some kind of strengthening material. The composition is unknown to me, now nothing of the kind is used. The study of the sample also suggests that there is perfect ventilation inside the cave, it is quite dry. Photos of the cave also confirm the version of its artificial origin. Whether this is true or not, future research should show.
