The story of the Tisul princess raises more questions than answers. The mysterious find could turn traditional ideas about the origin of man. But until it was presented to the public for judgment, then everyone decides for himself: to believe or not …
In 2002, journalist Oleg Kulishkin (Gonchar) wrote an article about a classified artifact: "A lady who is 800 million years old." The publication was published in the Abakan newspaper "Khakassia" and the 124th issue of the newspaper of Zlatoust "Arkaim".
The author of the article told a story that he heard on the train from a fellow traveler - a retired colonel of the KGB of the USSR. The man worked for many years in the secret department of the Committee and in 1991, due to rejection of the collapse of the Union, he resigned.
Excerpt from the article
“… It happened in early September 1969 in the village of Rzhavchik, Tisulsky district, Kemerovo region. During blasting operations at a coal mine in the core of a 20-meter coal seam, which lay at a depth of over 70 meters, miner Karnaukhov (later died on a motorcycle under the wheels of KrAZ) discovered a two-meter marble chest of amazing mechanically precise workmanship.
At the command of the head of the site, Alexander Alexandrovich Masalygin (died in 1980; the official version is a stomach ulcer), all work was immediately suspended.
The casket was lifted to the surface and began to open, gouge the putty that had petrified from time to time. Not so much from the blows, but from the influence of the sun's heat, the putty turned into a transparent liquid and flowed. One thrill-seeker even tried it on his tongue (literally a week later he went crazy, and in February he froze at the door of his own house).

The box lid was perfectly fitted. For a stronger connection, the inner edges were bordered by a double edge, tightly fitting into the 15-centimeter thickness of the walls.
The opening of the lid came as a shock to those present. The casket turned out to be a coffin, filled to the brim with a pinkish-blue crystal transparency liquid, under the spring smoothness of which rested … a tall (about 180 cm), slender, extraordinary beauty woman, who looked about thirty years old, with delicate European features and with large, wide-open blue eyes.
Thick, dark-blond curls with a reddish tint to the waist slightly covered the gentle white hands resting along the body with short, neatly trimmed nails.
She was dressed in a snow-white lace transparent dress just below the knees. With short sleeves embroidered with multicolored flowers. There was no underwear. It seemed that the woman was not dead, but simply asleep.
At the head is a black rectangular metal box, rounded at one end (something like a cell phone), measuring 10x25 cm.
The coffin was open for public viewing from about 10 to 15 hours. The whole village came to see the miracle. Almost immediately the regional center was informed about the find. The bosses, firemen, military, police came in large numbers.
By 14 o'clock, a brick-colored helicopter flew in from the area and delivered a dozen respectable "comrades" in civilian clothes, who immediately declared that "the place is contagious" and ordered those present to move away from the coffin.
After that, they cordoned off the place of discovery and rewrote everyone who touched the coffin, and even those who were nearby, supposedly for an urgent medical examination.
The coffin "comrades" was dragged into a helicopter, but the burden was too heavy, and they decided to facilitate the task by removing the liquid.
After pumping out the liquid from the coffin, the corpse began to turn black right before our eyes. Then the liquid was again poured, and the blackness began to quickly disappear. A minute later, a blush began to play on the deceased's cheeks again, and the whole body of the deceased acquired its former life-like appearance.
The coffin was closed and carried into a helicopter, the rest of the putty was collected together with the ground in plastic bags and the witnesses were ordered to disperse. After that, the helicopter soared up and headed for Novosibirsk.
Five days later, an elderly professor arrived in Rzhavchik from Novosibirsk and gave a lecture in a village club on the preliminary results of laboratory studies of a recent find.
The professor said that this rusty find would turn the very understanding of history. In the very near future, Soviet scientists will publish the results of their research, and this will shock the scientific world.
The age of the burial, according to the professor, is at least 800 million years! This refutes the Darwinian theory of the origin of man from ape.
The woman was buried in the Carboniferous period of the Paleozoic era, millions of years before the appearance of dinosaurs, long before the formation of coal on the planet, when, according to modern concepts, the Earth was still a continuous plant kingdom.
The original coffin with the woman's body stood in a wooden crypt in the middle of a deep forest. Over time, the crypt burrowed into the ground, collapsed and, without oxygen, after millions of years, became part of the coal seam.
At first, an alien version was put forward, but the genetic analysis of the woman's body showed her 100 percent similarity with the modern Russian man. Today we are one to one the same as our ancestors were 800 million years ago!
It has been established that the level of civilization to which the woman belonged exceeds ours, since the nature of the fabric from which the dress of the "princess" is made does not lend itself to scientific analysis. The technology for the production of such a material has not yet been invented by mankind.
It has not yet been possible to determine the composition of the pinkish-bluish liquid; only some of its constituent components, formed by the most ancient varieties of onions and garlic, have been identified.
The professor said nothing about the metal box, except that "it is being studied."
The lecturer left, and a couple of days later a tiny note appeared in the Tisul district newspaper that an archaeological relic was discovered near the village of Rzhavchik, which would shed light on history.
Rzhavchikovites protested - there are so many sensations, but there are three lines in the newspaper! The indignation subsided by itself, when the Tisulsky district was suddenly cordoned off by the military, the police went through the courtyards, confiscating the "seditious number" from the population, and the place where the coffin was found was carefully dug up and covered with earth.
And yet, despite the efforts of the authorities, there were fighters for the truth among the villagers. One of the heroes ran around all instances, even wrote a letter to the Central Committee of the CPSU, but a year later he suddenly died (according to the official version, from heart failure).
When all six "discoverers" of the coffin died one after the other in car accidents during the year, the surviving witnesses fell silent forever.
In 1973, when, according to the authorities, “everything had calmed down”, large-scale excavations were carried out in the strictest secrecy on the shores and islands of Lake Berchikul, six kilometers from the sarcophagus found. The place of work was cordoned off by soldiers and police. But, as they say, "you can't hide an sewn in a sack"!
Somehow, visiting workers who participated in the excavations and kept silent for a long time entered the district store, got drunk and let slip that an ancient cemetery from the Stone Age was discovered on the islands.
They flatly refused to give details, but the whole village saw how a brick-colored helicopter flew into the excavation site and took something away, and upon completion of the work on the islands and banks of Berchikul, hundreds of graves carefully covered with earth remained …
Oleg Kulishkin"
Was there a Tisul princess?
The journalists found out that the newspapers "Khakassia" and "Arkaim" really exist. The first is printed in Abakan, the second - in Zlatoust.
Indeed, in the aforementioned years, in the area of the village of Rzhavchik, there was a coal mine, where Krasnoukhov and Alexander Masalygin worked.
However, the article “The Myth of the“Tisul Princess” indicates that these people held other positions. The author Nikolai Galkin, an archivist historian, considers Kulishkin's story a hoax and proves that some points do not correspond to reality.
In 2012, the author of a sensational article appeared and wrote several messages:
“Dear editors, ten years have passed since the publication of the article about the Tisul find and the time has come to reveal the truth about its writing!
In this article, and for the first time it was published in the newspaper "Khakassia" (republican newspaper in the city of Abakan - author's note) in August 2002, under the title "Lady, who is 800 million years old", I did not lie, I hid only the real circumstances of meeting the colonel (that was his condition!).
The day after the publication of this material, I was hit by a car, though not fatally - I got off with a slight injury (maybe just a coincidence?). The editorial office chuckled, mistaking it for a "cool duck." “Well, that's it, the second Bushkov was raised!”, The Chief summed up cheerfully. And then it began …
There were calls from the "federal bureau of good advice", it turned out, inadvertently, I made public a terrible state secret.
At first, they tried to find out the signs of a colonel, and when I described the movie Stirlitz, they persistently "recommended" to write a funny sensational sequel to "The Revelation of a Colonel of the KGB-2", about how the beauty was resurrected, ran away and that they are still looking for her, etc. etc., etc.
I wrote the Revelation of Colonel KGB-2, but on a completely different topic, after which an end was given to continuing my journalistic career in the best newspaper in Khakassia.
This, in short, is the story of the appearance of the sensational publication "Tisulskaya Find", which glorified the village of Rzhavchik all over the world. Yours faithfully, Oleg Kulishkin (Gonchar)."
In the second message, Kulishkin wrote that at the burial place of the Tisul princess, the authorities “have set up a colossal garbage dump and are bringing garbage there from almost all over the region!”
The author explained that the age of the find was determined at 400-800 million years, based on the ideas of the 1960s about the time preceding the formation of coal rock on the planet, from a 20-meter layer of which a marble coffin with a woman's body was removed.
REN TV has conducted an investigation. The only living participant in those events remained in the village - the geologist of the coal mine Vladimir Podreshetnikov.
The man said that in 1973, the military cordoned off the place of discovery and found two more sarcophagi 200 million years old 6 km from the village.
After the release of the program, Oleg Kulishkin thanked REN TV "for the courageous search for the truth."
The story of the Tisul princess has been discussed on the Internet for many years. Researchers at the mysterious find note two interesting comments.
“In 1974 I studied in the 4th grade of the 8-year school N76 in Kemerovo, the head teacher of the school Golovanova Ekaterina Ivanovna told us about this discovery to the schoolchildren.
I don’t remember about the genetic examination and the age of the finding. Only the approximate age of the woman, her condition, clothes, she was filled with some kind of liquid and was in a stone box with a lid.
They waited for a more detailed article in the regional newspaper, but no articles followed, a certain Aleksey wrote.
“About 20 years ago, when I was a young specialist at the world's largest airline, Aeroflot, I had a chance to hear the story of an elderly commander of a Mi-8 helicopter at night in a hotel at Orenburg airport.
According to him, he previously served in a separate squadron of border troops - consider the KGB of the USSR. And supposedly his crew participated in the transportation of stone sarcophagi somewhere in Altai or in Transbaikalia, or maybe in Kuzbass, I don't remember. That the coffins were dug from a deep coal mine. And there were people in the coffins. Not mummies, but people, as if they were alive.
I objected that coal is a very ancient fossil, that people could not get there, they did not exist yet. But … the pilot claimed that it was true.
For many years I forgot this story, considering it folklore. And today I came across an article by Oleg Kulishkin. It just burned like a current.
For the last few days I've been thinking about how to put this material in such a form to tell it on a blog, and my friends did not decide that I was completely crazy. Now the same story, only from a different person, wrote kadykchanskiy
Petersburg writer Oleg Gusev included a story about the Tisul princess in the book "Ancient Russia and the Great Turan". The story is presented in chapter 11 "Typically Russian face …".
