Mysterious geoglyphs, according to the researcher, date back to the Neolithic era. Their length is about 10 kilometers
The north of the Sverdlovsk region never ceases to throw up new mysteries. The death of Igor Dyatlov's group is just the tip of a terrible iceberg. Not only that, people continue to die steadily on the pass (last year - a hermit who wanted to spend the winter in these places, and two weeks ago - a retired tourist who did not calculate his strength).
And now everything goes to the fact that the secrets of the Dyatlov Pass originate in general from the Neolithic era!
Ural amateur researcher Valentin Degtyarev studied Google satellite maps of the Dyatlov Pass. And I saw drawings that are visible only from space. It is about 10 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide.

- The outlines are cut into the ground right in the middle of the taiga. As if someone had depicted the silhouettes of the mountains. And between them there is a gate through which a bird or a meteorite flies in, - assures Degtyarev. - The images are located 60 kilometers southeast of the Dyatlov pass.
An amateur researcher believes that these drawings were made by ancient people as early as 11 thousand years ago. True, Degtyarev was never able to explain to KP journalists why he believes that the images were made precisely during the Neolithic period.
- The Mansi people, who lived here long before the Urals, considered this pass sacred. And these drawings, which the Mansi knocked out in the ground, confirm how much the territory near the pass meant to ancient people, the researcher adds.

Note that in the Urals, Valentin Degtyarev is an ambiguous personality. When the An-2 plane disappeared near Serov 5 years ago, Degtyarev claimed that he had heard on the radio air the pleas for help from passengers who were allegedly attacked by bears. Later, sitting at home, Valentine discovered the entrance to the Nazi dungeon in Antarctica. Well, now, as young people say, the man has decided to "poypip" on the topic of the Dyatlov Pass.

- Not a single geoglyph (a drawing applied to the ground using masonry - ed.) Would have survived from the Neolithic era. It would have been overgrown long ago. And most importantly, not a single self-respecting archaeologist will make assumptions based on the photographs, says Svetlana Panina, director of the Museum of History and Archeology of the Urals of the Sverdlovsk Museum of Local Lore.
Alexander Frolenko, an employee of the Ural History Department of the Sverdlovsk Museum of Local Lore, adds:
- I went down the river several times in those places. There the territory was felling. It seems to me that these are ordinary deforestation.
Recall that the pass became known in early February 1959. In the north of the Sverdlovsk region disappeared, and then, as it turned out, a group of tourists who went on a hike under the guidance of a 5th year student of the Ural Polytechnic Institute Igor Dyatlov died. What happened at this pass is still unknown. But, despite its notoriety, the mysterious place continues to attract tourists from all over Russia.
Last year, tragedy struck again at the Dyatlov pass. In a hut under the Otorten mountain, a group of tourists stumbled upon the body of an unknown man. Due to a strong blizzard, security forces and rescuers were able to reach the place of emergency only a week after the terrible find. Of course, during this time, a lot of speculations and rumors have appeared. At some point, the travelers' relatives even stated that the group itself had disappeared. Fortunately, after a couple of days, the Urals contacted. Then the security forces dispelled the last traces of mysticism. The dead turned out to be the hermit Oleg Borodin, who for a long time lived in that very hut.

And at the end of September 2017, a death message was again received from the Dyatlov Pass. And the corpse was found in the same hut. The dead turned out to be a 58-year-old turner from Kemerovo Sergey S. The man went to conquer the famous pass together with a group of tourists.
