"Hello, friend-jock … Today I will tell you a story …". - this is how fairy tales started on old vinyl records. I would start the same way, with the only difference that everything that I tell is not a fairy tale, but a reality. About ten years ago, I first visited the dolmens of Leso-Kefar and literally from the first time fell in love with this place - mysterious, anomalous, mysterious and practically unexplored. Indeed, until now, no one can say for sure what dolmens are, what they served for, and finally - who built them. Someone claims that these are tombs for the Alan nobility, although dolmens were clearly built even before the emergence of the Alanian kingdom in these places, at least they were definitely not built by the Alans, someone says that these structures served for communication with space - There are many versions and not a single one is fully proven. Whether we find out the truth, time will tell. Or it won't.
Kafar settlement is a narrow strip on the Shpil mountain, not far from the village of Storozhevoy in Karachay-Cherkessia, about two kilometers long and about two hundred meters wide, on which there are ruins of ancient houses, sanctuaries, massive fortress walls and nineteen dolmens, which are even higher on the top mountains Jordan. There are many drawings and inscriptions on the slabs and stones.
One of these slabs is in the Stavropol Museum of Local Lore. Prozriteleva-Prave. It is noticeable that the settlement was well planned, streets and something like a city square are distinguishable. There is a so-called "agora", a site for meetings, on which traces of a small temple have been preserved, there are the remains of a fortress wall. In general, it is a real city, only people lived in it many, many thousands of years ago. According to some reports, this was the ancestral home of the Alanian prince Durgulel the Great, who was married to the daughter of the Georgian king, however, it is difficult to say what actually was here - the capital of the Alan state, a large cult complex or a fortress. There are many versions - but the exact information - the cat wept. This is the main mystery of the Kafar settlement. How is it usually? What is not occupied by science is filled with mysticism - cosmic energy, Atlanteans and so on. Although energy is not mystic at all. Some kind of energy is really felt here, in absolute silence you can hear someone's voices, there is even a stone that grants wishes. True, you need to be careful with your desires - the Mercedes will not come to you. Well, no one canceled the universal law of compensation - it was added somewhere, which means it will decrease somewhere. An extremely interesting place and people come there very interesting. Unfortunately, the settlement is collapsing and it is worth visiting here if only because it will collapse completely, if it does not acquire the status of a protected area or an ancient monument.

“I think that dolmens were built by descendants of the Atlanteans,” says local historian, resident of the village of Storozhevoy, Magomed Dotdaev. “After the death of Atlantis, descendants of the Atlanteans dispersed to different parts of the world and left behind such monuments. But, again, this is just speculation.
Indeed, dolmens are everywhere where you can find material for their manufacture. In the Caucasus alone, from Colchis to Anapa, there are about nine thousand of them. Archaeologists call the Kafar settlement a monument of the Sarmatian, Alanian and possibly several other cultures, earlier and later. Lovers of mysterious signs are looking for a place of power here. In this dead city, lost in the valley of the Kyafar river, epochs have been layered on each other in such a layer cake that only scientists can figure it out, but, unfortunately, they do not indulge this place with their attention. Judging by the available archaeological data, the main part of the settlement was erected in the eleventh century, and the dolmens are much older - they date back to the second millennium BC. In my opinion, they are much older. By the way, this ancient settlement still does not have a conservation status. The loss of this place and its isolation from civilization is clearly felt here. The only sound is the sound of a river flowing far below. By the way, the Kyafar settlement is just a part of the ancient metropolis, or, as they say now, a district. This is one whole with the Nizhne-Arkhyz settlement, on the territory of which the oldest Christian churches in Russia are located. The ancient metropolis, presumably, could be the capital of the Alanian kingdom - Magas.could be the capital of the Alanian kingdom - Magas.could be the capital of the Alanian kingdom - Magas.
You know, the Japanese have a custom - sakura blooms for several days, and different people come to watch the cherry blossoms at different times. It all depends on the inner state of a person, his character. Some come when the sakura is just beginning to bloom, others like the period of the most violent flowering, others come when the sakura begins to fly around - every flower that has flown away reminds them of the frailty of life, that there is nothing eternal under the Moon. This state is called the pathos of being. This pathos is felt very sharply in the Kafar settlement. There was a city that was huge at that time, people lived there, just like us or others, they had their own worries, children … Today, only the remains of the foundations remind of the once turbulent life of this city and the shadows of those who built it wander along these streets …
