The cup of life, the healing chalice, the gift of the aliens - this is also the name of the vessel, which is owned by the Krasnodar pensioner Igor Podukhevich.
What is this artifact? Is it really extraterrestrial in origin, as some scientists claim? And is it true that water drunk from this goblet cures all diseases?
Information about the amazing bowl has been wandering from one print media to another for several years, multiplying on the Internet. They say that this cup has healing power. And so powerful that some wonder: is this not the vessel from which Jesus Christ drank at the Last Supper? Was it not in him that Joseph of Arimathea collected the blood of the crucified Savior that flowed from the cross?
From Igor Podukhevich himself - the current owner of the cup - we have never heard such bold speculations. But his wife does not neglect them. “Some almost kneel in front of him, grab his head and insist that this is the very Grail cup … So in local newspapers they used the wording more than once - they say, the Grail was found in the Krasnodar Territory,” Irina said in 2010 Podukhevych to the correspondent of a large Moscow newspaper. By that time, the fame of the mysterious artifact had reached the capital. People reached out to him en masse.
Journalists also sent him to see Igor Ivanovich. And that's what he told them. They say he received the cup in 2004 from his great-grandfather - Kirill Kabanov, a nuclear physicist. Like, in the 60s of the last century, he participated in a secret expedition to the Podkamennaya Tunguska River. I visited the place where in 1908 the so-called Tunguska meteorite exploded, knocking down a forest over an area of several thousand square kilometers. Either a small comet crashed into the Earth, or an asteroid. And according to the hypothesis of the Soviet science fiction writer Alexander Kazantsev, an alien spacecraft with a nuclear power plant crashed in the taiga. Allegedly, it was her traces that the expedition, in which the nuclear physicist participated, was looking for.
Before his death, the great-grandfather hinted that the cup was directly related to those places and events. He did not specify exactly where and how it was found. But, passing the artifact, he significantly raised his eyes up and said: "No one on Earth has this, this is from there."
Kirill Kabanov lived 102 years. According to his great-grandson, he drank water only from his own cup.
Promotional video:
The cup has been seen by many - small, 136 millimeters in height. The maximum diameter is 63 millimeters, the wall thickness is 4 millimeters. The capacity is about 75 milliliters. The color is gray rather than silver. Shimmers in the sun. On the outer surface, a pattern is visible that resembles a pattern on frosty glass. Some people see the outline of a human face in this pattern.
Podukhevich first showed the cup to Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondents in the summer of 2009. I called the Krasnodar editorial office myself and offered to look at the "interesting thing". Have a look. We got acquainted with her mysterious history. From the lips of Igor Ivanovich, we learned in detail about the healing properties of the little thing. Naturally, they did. Miracles after all. The pensioner said that he gives water to everyone who has been in the cup. And those, drinking it, are cured of various diseases. Get rid of gallstones, hemorrhoids, heartburn, diabetes, headaches, hypertension, severe and minor injuries, gout, obesity, impotence and prostatitis.
“Someone who tasted water from a bowl stopped hurting their heart, someone began to read without glasses, although yesterday they could not see further than their nose, someone's terrible cough disappeared like a hand, a 60-year-old man avoided surgery, and a woman who was scalded to the bone with boiling water, anointed the burn with magic water - and everything healed,”adds a serious weekly magazine (2012) to cases of amazing healing.
According to Igor Ivanovich, he himself, perhaps, would not have remembered the gift of his great-grandfather, but his personal grief forced him. In January 2006, his 16-year-old daughter Ilona was involved in a car accident.
- Rupture of the pancreas, intra-abdominal bleeding, closed fracture of the clavicle with displacement, fracture of the pubic and ischial bones of the pelvis, - Podukhevich recalled, - the diagnosis was disappointing.
After several operations, the doctors predicted: at best, the girl would stand on crutches. And then not earlier than six months later. In short, he will remain disabled for life.
- The daughter was discharged in early February, and at the end of March we had to come for an examination, - Igor Ivanovich said. - And then I decided that in such a situation all means are good. He began to insist in the cup for several hours, water, broth, as his great-grandfather advised, and give Ilona. And already at the beginning of March, my girl went! When I arrived at the hospital with her, the doctors couldn't believe their eyes. The bones had grown together, the internal organs were in such a state as if there had not been that accident. But only two months have passed. The doctors couldn't explain anything, they just threw up their hands!
On the verge of fantasy
It would be strange if the owner of the healing cup did not draw the attention of serious scientists to it. The pensioner applied to several scientific institutions. I got amazing results. Podukhevich quotes them on his website. And in the section "Articles in the press dedicated to the Cup" he even gives scans of the issued expert opinions.
Here is a document from the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SB RAS). It reads: "In all likelihood, this sample has an extraterrestrial nature (different isotope ratio)."
“The cup consists of silicon of extraterrestrial origin,” echoes the conclusion issued by the Kuban State University (KSU). As Igor Ivanovich told the correspondent of "MK", the results of the experiment pushed the Kuban scientists to such a fantastic conclusion. Allegedly, after the water stood in the cup for 20 hours, the content of molybdenum in it for some mysterious reasons increased 40 times, copper - 25 times, zirconium - 10. And silver, on the contrary, became 100 times less.
Miracles … Their presence, in fact, is recognized by A. Andreev, Associate Professor of the Department of Organic Chemistry and Technology of KSU, Candidate of Technical Sciences, who signed the conclusion: "… It is not possible to indicate any objective reasons for the observed changes based on the available data." And then - about extraterrestrial origin.
It turns out that the "Tunguska Grail" is a really supernatural thing …
Mysterious transformations
Nikolai Podgornykh, director of the Central Siberian Geological Museum of the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy of the SB RAS, who signed the expert opinion on May 23, 2008, does not immediately understand what is at stake.
- Cup, - we convey the essence, - silicon, possibly lost by aliens in the area of the fall of the Tunguska meteorite. You have recognized its extraterrestrial nature. The examination was carried out “using an X-ray spectral microanalyzer”.
- Yes, - Nikolai Mikheevich finally recalls, - he issued a conclusion. But this is the first time I've heard about the cup. A few years ago a person approached me: "I found something, can you do some research?" I answered that I could, we did it quite officially. But they brought me not a cup, but a small piece of silicon. Apparently, it was split off from the boule (a small oblong ingot. - Ed.), Which is formed during the technological purification of silicon.
Podgornykh categorically denied that he had signed the conclusion with the words about extraterrestrial nature. “Some kind of fraud,” he was surprised to see them on the document.
Then we guessed to carefully consider a copy of the "Siberian report", which Podukhevich gave to the correspondent of "Komsomolskaya Pravda" in 2009. They compared it with the one posted on the website of the great-grandson and which he now presents to the press. They are different. Although the outgoing numbers and dates are the same.
The document shown by KP in 2009 read: “I hereby certify that the sample, which is an irregularly shaped chip measuring 12x7x5 mm, having a steel-black color and a metallic luster, corresponds in its chemical composition to pure silicon … In all likelihood, this the sample is of a technogenic nature."
- Yes, this is what I signed, - Nikolai Mikheevich agrees, - the conclusion with the words "is of a technogenic nature" and not "extraterrestrial."
- Where did the other come from?
“Now, using a computer, you can do anything, any fake,” the scientist suggests.
The document issued by the KSU underwent a similar transformation. A passage about silicon of unearthly origin was also added to the original text.
By the way, if you believe the original text of the KSU conclusion, then they did not experiment with water. And analyzed the one brought by Podukhevich himself. The water, in which the content of some elements changed, was not at all in a cup, but in a glass vessel for 20 hours. And she was in contact with a certain product called "rod".
The revised document says: "Sample 04: 20 hours spent in the" Cup "product.
Humble source
It is not surprising that after the "scientific" confirmation of the supernatural properties of the goblet, water from it began to be in increased demand. According to the estimates of Komsomolskaya Pravda correspondents, from 2010 to 2012 more than 600 people purchased it. They were taken away in portions of at least 5 liters each.
“I don’t take money for this,” Podukhevych assured. - The only thing is when residents of other regions of Russia ask to transfer several bottles or cylinders of my water, I ask them to pay the cost of delivery - the conductors must be thanked.
A small experiment, conducted by us, showed: he still takes money. The prices, however, are by no means extortionate - 700 rubles for a 5-liter bottle of healing water. It is only three times more expensive than for some "Essentuki". However, the great-grandson advises to stock up thoroughly. The correspondent of "Komsomolskaya Pravda", which reported that she was supposedly going to give her father a miracle water in order to cure him of psoriasis, Igor Ivanovich "prescribed" 7 - 8 five-liter cylinders - at the rate of 600 grams in the morning, at lunchtime and in the evening for two months.
How a pensioner prepares water is a big question. Lets go in buckets. But it doesn't really hold for 20 hours in a 75-milliliter cup. To collect 5 liters in this way, it will take 1332 hours - more than 55 days. Although, if you believe Podukhevych and his documents, then it is in 20 hours that the water in the cup becomes healing.
Forgive me that I had to darken the beautiful legend of the "Tunguska Grail" with ugly suspicions and, possibly, undermine someone's faith in a miracle. It's a pity …
MEDICINE COMMENTARY
Healings are psychological
- I saw an extract from Ilona Podukhevich's sick leave - the result of the treatment is undoubtedly excellent, - says a surgeon in one of the Krasnodar hospitals. - In two months, such injuries are really difficult to heal, but over time, with proper care, a person is simply obliged to recover. Perhaps, in a particular case, it is a matter of proper care, and maybe even at the age of the patient - in young people, healing occurs much faster.
“I think all these healings are psychological in nature, this is the so-called placebo effect,” says Alexander Goryachev, a doctor at the Krasnodar Center for Medical Prevention. - People believe that they will get better, and it happens. Pure drinking water initially contains all the substances necessary for human life. Therefore, artificially increasing the content of some of them requires a special long-term study. In addition, it is not known how the body will react to these innovations in the future. Yes, there are examples in medicine when we cannot explain the phenomenon. But they must be treated with extreme caution so as not to harm.
A FEW WORDS IN JUSTIFICATION
The cup may have some medical and biological properties
- The cup is 90% silicon. The remaining 10 are nickel, calcium, iron, osmium, neodymium, selenium, phosphorus, bromine and cobalt,”says Valery Lepilov, a Saratov scientist, honorary worker of the USSR electronics industry, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, who conducted research on the artifact at the request of its owner.
- You won't find silicon with similar impurities in nature, but in metallurgical production - as much as you like. That is, there is no need to talk about the unearthly origin of the cup. Once again, this is proved by its form. There are notches on the goblet barely visible to the eye, which could have appeared just during the manufacture at the factory.
Most likely, the product was first cast, then turned on a lathe. Although there is no complete certainty about this.
Silicon has no special healing properties, and nickel, which is 5 percent in a bowl, is completely harmful to health. But my experiments still indicate that the cup may have some medical and biological properties. I poured water into a goblet and sent infrared rays through it. The longer the water was in the vessel, the worse it passed these rays through itself. It changed its structure, turning into a kind of sieve. Melted and magnetized water has a similar structure, which is widely used to treat various diseases.
By the way, Vadim Chernobrov, coordinator of the Cosmopoisk research association, confirms that in 1959-1962 an expedition really worked in the Podkamennaya Tunguska area, looking for the wreckage of a spaceship - possibly radioactive. A nuclear physicist could well have taken part in it. But it is not known whether Podukhevych's great-grandfather, named Kabanov, was in the composition.
The great-grandson actively supported the version about the disaster of the alien spacecraft. And in May 2008 he presented it in "Kosmopoisk", referring to his cup.
