In 1969, the calm and quiet life of the village of Rzhavchik in the Tisul district of the Kemerovo region was disturbed by an unusual find. In the depths of the coal mine, the miners found a sarcophagus, which contained a very beautiful woman of European appearance, later named the Tisul princess.
TOP SECRET
This story received wide publicity after an article by Oleg Kulishkin, published in the newspaper "Arkaim" in 2002. On the train, the author met a former KGB colonel who told him about the unusual find.
In September 1969, in the middle of a coal seam located at a depth of 70 meters, miner Karnaukhov discovered a two-meter marble sarcophagus. The head of the site Masalygin immediately ordered the work to be stopped. The sarcophagus was carefully lifted to the surface. It seemed to the workers that they had found a treasure, and, without waiting for the visiting authorities, they began to beat off the petrified putty from the lid of the sarcophagus. But under the influence of sunlight, it suddenly began to flow. Some of the workers decided to taste the strange liquid. And a week after that, he developed a mental disorder and ended up in the hospital. When the marble box was opened, it became clear that it was a coffin filled to the top with a transparent pink-blue liquid in which a woman was lying. Tall (180 centimeters), even by today's standards, the beauty looked about 30 years old,her blue eyes were wide. The woman was dressed in a white translucent dress with embroidery. At her head was a black box that looked like a cell phone.
A contagious place
In the confusion, they somehow forgot to close the sarcophagus, and all the first half of the day the villagers stared at the miracle. But soon the district authorities arrived and ordered everyone to move away from the coffin, as "the place is contagious." We compiled a list of everyone who came to look at the find, ostensibly to conduct a medical examination. When the arrivals tried to drag the sarcophagus into the helicopter, it turned out that it was too heavy. To lighten the burden, we decided to drain the liquid. But the woman's body, as soon as it came into contact with the air, immediately began to turn black. The liquid was poured again, and the face of the deceased returned to its former form. I had to call in additional forces to load the sarcophagus into a helicopter.

The cargo was sent to Novosibirsk. A week later, a professor came from there and said that the Tisul princess was buried 800 million years ago. And this despite the fact that the age of coal is 400 million years. Most likely, the sarcophagus was initially located in a wooden crypt in a fern forest. But the wooden walls collapsed over time, their remains grew into the ground, and without air access, after millions of years they became part of the coal seam. In addition, the professor said that the princess's dress was made from fabric of unknown origin. The composition of the embalming liquid also could not be established, it was only known that it contained components similar to onions and garlic.
The local regional newspaper published a short note about the find, in which it quoted the professor's report. But soon the military and police arrived in the Tisul district. The area was cordoned off, the newspaper was seized from the residents, and the place of discovery was razed to the ground and a dump was made. Dissatisfied, by a strange coincidence, died from illness or accidents. Over the next year, six workers died in car accidents when they opened the sarcophagus. All this made the other witnesses keep their mouths shut. And in 1973, 6 kilometers from the place where the princess was found, some large-scale excavations began again, carried out in strict secrecy.
THE PRESENT BECOMES SECRET
In 2007, journalist Roman Yanchenko, interested in this story, decided to check its accuracy. Interrogating witnesses, Yanchenko drew attention to the fact that they were all confused in their testimonies when it came to the reasons and dates of death of the people involved in the find. But everyone unanimously claimed that they had never found any sarcophagi or other artifacts here. Perhaps so, but on one of the sites on the Internet there was a message from a local resident that the head teacher of his school in the 1970s talked about the Tisul princess. But there is no smoke without fire. One way or another, the journalist did not find the truth.
And in the spring of 2012, the author of the first article, who was almost forgotten, announced himself. He said that after the release of his material, he had an accident, though he got off with minor bruises. And then the calls from the committee started. They asked Oleg for signs and the name of the chatty colonel and recommended to write a comic continuation of the article so that no one would take the find seriously. Well, after the refusal, a cross was put on his career as a journalist. After the story about the Tisul princess was shown on REN TV in 2013, it turned out that two more similar, absolutely identical burials, 200 million years old, were found in the same area. In addition to the fact that the sarcophagus was transported to Moscow for research and that foreign spies appeared in the area looking for new artifacts, nothing new was reported in the transfer. Was all this secrecy created to defend Darwin's theory? Or did the find carry some ancient knowledge that was not intended for wide publicity?
WHO ARE YOU PRINCESS?
Of course, the first version about the origin of the Tisul princess was alien, but the results of genetic examination showed that the beauty's genome coincides with the genome of modern residents of the Urals. That is, many millions of years ago a similar nation existed on Earth? Is the Tisul princess a representative of our ancestors?
Another interesting hypothesis suggests that the princess is not a mummy, but a living creature in suspended animation. Her hairstyle speaks in favor of this. Only the lower part of the hair is braided, and the upper part is loose. The fact is that in suspended animation life processes continue to go, only very slowly, here is the girl's hair for 800 million years of the industry. And the reason for the increased secrecy of the artifact is the very box at the head and the composition of the embalming liquid. The latter can serve as an excellent preservative for transplanted organs in surgery. Or maybe he is already serving.
There were also suggestions that the princess came to us from the future. Supporters of this version are based on the fact that the composition of the fabric of her dress does not correspond to any known material. That is, these are the technologies of the future. For some reason, she was left in a state of suspended animation by those who traveled in time, in order to return later for her.
Be that as it may, today the Tisul princess is in one of the secret research institutes, whose scientists are trying to unravel her secret.
