Resorts and recreation areas in Russia and the CIS. Unusually shaped dolmen found in Gorny Altai Dolmens in Siberia

Several thousand dolmens are known in our territory. They are stretched in a narrow strip along Caucasian ridge from Anapa to Achamchiri in Abkhazia. The first stone tombs appeared on the mountain slopes about 4.5 thousand years ago, at the dawn of the Bronze Age. In our time, dolmens must be sought in a dense forest, but in ancient times the border of mountain forests was much higher. Consequently, the megaliths stood on the open slopes, creating a majestic picture, and this made a strong impression on the neighboring tribes. In the mythological consciousness of ancient people, the thing and the master who made it were not separated. Therefore, any nation tried to have a material symbol of its power, most often temples or tombs of ancestors, the construction of which did not spare labor, became such a symbol. The dolmen could be used for a single burial or serve as a family tomb in which members of the same family were buried for many years.

Dolmens were built from separate large slabs, made up of blocks, partially or completely carved into the rock. More often than others, dolmens are found, which are made up of four slabs placed on edge, covered with a fifth slab. The entrance hole was closed with a heavy stone plug. The dimensions of the structures ranged from relatively small "houses" to giants 3.5 m high. The construction of these structures required the efforts of many people, because only the lid of the dolmen near the village of Upper Eshera weighs about 20 tons. At the same time, huge stone slabs have the correct shape and are neatly hewn. In ancient times, most of the dolmens were completely or partially covered with earthen mounds, without which it is simply impossible to install a multi-ton cover. At the same time, the mound protected the tomb from natural destruction and robbers. To save the graves from defilement, the builders used different methods, sometimes even imitating the entrance by cutting out a fake cork, while the real hole was behind, covered with stones. But this did not help much, and many burials were plundered in antiquity.

However, dolmens were not simple tombs, but served as a place of worship and special religious rites associated with the cult of the dead. It is no coincidence that the entrance of many of them is located on the sunny side - south or east. Even in dark gorges, the facades of dolmens face a well-lit mountain or rock. The mound Psynako near the city of Tuapse is especially famous. It was an amazing building. Ancient builders placed a dolmen inside a round stone building with a dome, then all this was covered with a clay mound, and a stone hill 5 meters high was poured on top. At the same time, a long underground passage (dromos) led to the entrance to the dolmen from the edge of the mound, through which one could get into the tomb. More recently, at the top of the mound there was a round platform, from which stone ribs-rays went down. All this allowed us to assume that Psynako is not just a burial place, but a kind of temple, a place of worship for a great ancestor. Moreover, some scholars believe that with the help of specially placed stones, the priests could observe the starry sky and draw up a calendar.

Q. What is special about Mount Belukha?
Oh. Oh! And the crystal, and the portal, and there are a lot of energy craters around, there is just some kind of crowd, and there is an entrance to Shambhala ...
Q. Protected, I think so?
A. Very guarded. It's good to keep it that way.
Q. And Shambhala, there are many versions, tell us what they show you.
A. It is connected with Agartha, where the Lemurians live, not even Lemurians, but a whole community of civilizations, the whole Earth is connected by this network, this is a network, one might say. Shambhala is more related to Tibet-Altai, it belongs to the Asian part, there are Lemurians there, but there are also a lot of other comrades, such a high society. By the way, it seems that what Muldashev writes about representatives of different races in a cave in a conserved form to preserve the gene pool seems to be true. This is also connected with Shambhala.
Q. Do you see them, these creatures?
A. Vaguely, but - yes.
V. And how did Muldashev know this?

A. I have my own channel, I don’t know about cleanliness, but it gives reliable enough information, at least for the cave.
Q. And how to work with what is next to Belukha? For example, a portal, can we use it?
A. We can, but not everyone, this is a very high-energy portal. portal more east summit, the mountain itself is a crystal, like Kailash, only weaker. It is enough just to visit there, for activation, disclosure of energy. It is difficult to work with the portal now, only if you are already ready to leave here, from this plane.
Q. Will a person in a trance state be able to walk through and see what is there?
A. Maybe, but he will be shown how much he is ready to see.

Q. Why and by whom was the Master Stone created in the Yarlu Valley?
A. Also a funnel and a portal, but the feeling that it was somewhat desecrated by those guys who drew circles and crosses on it.They wanted to monopolize it, of course, they did not succeed, but they tightened the channel, less energy passed through it.
Q. Where does the energy come from, from the Earth?
A. The feeling that the recharge comes from the Earth and from above, this is its uniqueness, the balance is good.
Q. Can it be used somehow?
A. You can lie on your stomach on him, this is the most effective, you can just sit next to him.
Q. Who created it?
A. A very, very long time ago. The earth itself, together with some beings of light, created it.

Q. But dolmens, for example, what were they used for? (there are no dolmens in Altai, but we decided to ask)
A. As a storehouse of the Earth's energy, for contact with the Earth, basically.
Q. And what role do the holes play? You won't get into them at all, will you?
A. You don't have to climb up there, you can just be nearby. The feeling that it's like a certain umbilical cord, from the Earth into space, it's more like a flow from the Earth into space.

Q. Who is the Altai Princess and is the 2003 earthquake related to her?
A. The princess is a very powerful spirit that remained preserved in this grave after death. Its influence extends to the Ukok plateau and to the whole Altai as a whole. She is a keeper and promotes awakening. It was no coincidence that they were digging, they did not need to be transported, and the earthquake was connected with this. She was supposed to stay in Altai.
V. Just like Tamerlane when they dug up ...

(Let me remind you that according to one of the versions, the spirit of the Great Tamerlane was involved in the beginning of the Second World War - his tomb was unearthed on June 21, 1941.
More details or in the video below)

A. Yes, yes, yes, they took her away on purpose, because she is a very strong source and, it seems, interfered ... Altai would be much better if she stayed, Altai is already very Holy place, otherwise it would be even cleaner, would contribute to awakening even more ( according to my friend, who was at the excavation site of the Princess last year, purple flowers grow on her grave, which are nowhere else on the plateau, tourists mostly lie about another mound, the true one is not open to everyone).
Q. What is remarkable about the Ukok plateau and the Tabyn-Bogdo-Ola massif?
O. Ukok is associated with the princess, Tabyn-Bogdo-Ola is an energy dome comparable to Belukha, also a large portal and entrance to Shambhala-Agarta.
Q. What other places of power are there in Altai?
O. Teletskoye is also a place of power, only everything is interesting there - at the bottom, Ak-Tru, the Dzhulukul region, on the Terektinsky ridge some place is very interesting, the feeling that there is a big, big crystal, but very deeply hidden, the exit from Shambhala, its grays generally "graze" strongly.
Q. What do they care?
A. They monitor, control, so that people know as little as possible about him.

Q. What is the semantic and energetic load of mounds?
A. Like the Princess, usually, this is a receptacle for the spirits of people who remained for some purpose, the goals may be different, the energy of the mounds is also very different, it can be dark, it can be light.
Q. Dark is the energy of death, disease?
A. Yes, but it is not clear who builds them and for what specific purpose. Initially, a mound is an accumulation of energy, which can then be transformed.
Q. What were the Roerichs?
A. A powerful channel coming from the same spheres with Blavatsky ...
Q. There is a message that Blavatsky had Reptilian information...
A. I don’t know about Blavatsky, but I see about the Roerichs that initially there was no such thing, but then the channel became clogged with something not very bright, initially a very strong channel through which a lot of information passed, including through his paintings, through them even more than through texts, they are much cleaner than texts that quickly connected to it.
Q. Due to what? Ego?
Oh. Ego - yes, plus some kind of contract, or something ...
Q. A prisoner before he was here?
A. Before, he, it turns out, is a joint channel. The pictures are quite clean, the majority, but with the texts it is more difficult ... There you have to choose and feel.
Q. And what did he mean when he said that the last battle of people would take place on the Katun River?
A. One of the scenarios. A powerful collision, but his space-time line has already left, and astral battles are going on there. What he had in mind is a variable line that will no longer take place.

Do not forget to leave your questions on topics, comrades!

A little about megaliths:

As many sessions have shown, megaliths, like crystals, are primarily spatial resonators that direct and transform energies in certain places, mainly places of power. It is difficult for today's person to perceive these subtle settings, but our ancestors knew a lot about them, as evidenced by the thousands of monuments they left behind.

In many countries of the world and even on the seabed there are mysterious structures made of huge stone blocks and slabs. They were called megaliths (from the Greek words "megas" - large and "lithos" - stone). It is still not known exactly who and for what purpose carried out such a titanic work in very ancient times in various places on the planet, because the weight of some blocks reaches tens or even hundreds of tons.

The most amazing stones in the world

Megaliths are subdivided into dolmens, menhirs and triliths. Dolmens are the most common type of megaliths, they are original stone “houses”, only in Brittany (province of France) there are at least 4500 of them. Menhirs are called vertically elongated stone blocks. If a third block is placed on top of two vertically installed blocks, then such a structure is called a trilith. In the event that triliths are installed in a ring ensemble, as in the case of the famous Stonehenge, then such a structure is called a cromlech.

Until now, no one can say for sure for what purpose these impressive structures were built. There are a lot of hypotheses on this subject, but none of them can exhaustively answer all the questions asked by these silent majestic stones.

For a long time, megaliths were associated with an ancient funeral ritual, but next to most of these stone structures, archaeologists did not find any burials, and those that were found were most likely made at a later time.

The most common and supported by many scientists hypothesis links the construction of megaliths with the most ancient astronomical observations. In fact, some megaliths can be used as sights, allowing you to fix the points of sunrise and sunset of the Sun and Moon on the days of the solstices and equinoxes.

However, opponents of this hypothesis raise quite fair questions and criticisms. Firstly, there are a lot of megaliths that are difficult to associate with any astronomical observations. Secondly, why did the ancients at that distant time need such a laborious method of knowing the movement of heavenly bodies? After all, even if in this way they set the dates for agricultural work, it is well known that the beginning of sowing depends much more on the condition of the soil and weather than on a specific date, and can shift in one direction or another. Thirdly, opponents of the astronomical hypothesis rightly point out that with such an abundance of megaliths, as, for example, in Karnak, one can always pick up a dozen stones allegedly installed for astronomical purposes, but what were thousands of others intended for then?

The scale of the work carried out by the ancient builders is also impressive. We will not dwell on Stonehenge, it has already been written about a lot, let's remember the megaliths of Karnak. Perhaps this is the largest megalithic ensemble in the world. Scientists believe that at first it numbered up to 10 thousand menhirs! Now only about 3 thousand vertically installed stone blocks have survived, in some cases reaching a height of several meters.

It is believed that originally this ensemble stretched for 8 km from St. Barba to the Crash River, now it has survived only for 3 km. There are three groups of megaliths. To the north of the village of Karnak, there is a cromlech in the form of a semicircle and eleven ranks, in which there are 1169 menhirs from 60 cm to 4 m high. The length of the row is 1170 m.

No less impressive are the other two groups, which, most likely, once, together with the first, formed a single ensemble, as early as the end of the 18th century. it was more or less preserved in its original form. The largest menhir of the entire ensemble was 20 meters high! Unfortunately, now it is tumbled down and split, however, even in this form, the megalith inspires involuntary respect for the creators of such a miracle. By the way, even with the help of modern technology it is very difficult to manage even a small megalith in case it needs to be restored in its original form or moved to another place.

Other astral walks to historical events and places:

Quite a small village of Maly Baschelak in the Charysh District Altai Territory It was founded in 1824, and for its almost two hundred years of history, the city has not become. From nine hundred to one thousand people live here to this day.

You will find practically no information about this village. This is truly a God-forgotten place, but undoubtedly bearing its seal. Those rare reviews of those who have visited these places express extreme delight. An incredible peaceful, calm atmosphere envelops the village, and the residents are noted as very friendly, hospitable and cordial people who do not know suspicions and do not wear stones in their bosoms.

There are only 24 streets in Maly Baschelak, that's why it is "small" and God forbid that it always be so. Man was created to live just like this: - in unity with nature, and not in cities that turn people into an evil immoral mass, where everyone is just a particle of something big and gray. The city is not a community of people, but one single aggressive creature that has a single mind, subjugating the grains of the brains of individual individuals of a large flock of humanoid creatures.

This is not a high-altitude village, but the height above sea level is decent. 626 meters. True, judging by the maps of the flood, until recently this area was a sea shelf, and the coastline ran tens of kilometers to the east and southeast.

The blue color shows the boundaries of the ocean at times separated by a sufficient time interval after the Event.
Gray - the area on which the waves also splashed for a long time.
Yellow - areas flooded immediately after the flood.
Golden - the lands affected by the flood, but the water came down from them in the first years or decades after the Event.
Brown shows the places that the flood did not touch.

So we can assume that Small Baschelak remained under water for a long time and many granite boulders scattered here and there - evidence of a terrible catastrophe - giant wave that washed them off from the nearby mountains. Let us look carefully at these dumb witnesses of the flood.

This photo and all subsequent photos were taken by Sebastiana Sabbini.

Notice the block sticking out of the water in the background. Nature does not "produce" such people, this is obvious.

To the right of the forked birch are two blocks on top of each other.

This "disabled person" retained an edge and two straight faces.

There is no need for comments here. Two pillars of rectangular section miraculously are not completely hidden by soil and turf. One could assume that these are power transmission towers, if not for one moment. This is not modern concrete, but natural granite, and it is processed mechanically. Well, or some other, but this is definitely not a natural formation.

These stones are badly destroyed, and it is not possible to judge their origin from the photo, however, the ideal edge of the slab along which spring water flows causes a serious reason to doubt its natural origin.

Another block with perfect edges and edges. Moss has overgrown the stone lying on it, and it is obvious that its faces completely coincide with the bottom. This gives grounds to assume that we have before us a fragment of masonry, which is located in places inhabited, according to science, only a few hundred years ago, and except for shamans, no one has ever lived here.

Do you need someone to explain what is in the photo?

It all looks like a construction waste dump. A mountain of destroyed stone parts.

What is hidden in the bowels of this hill? I don't know, but it looks like it makes sense to dig here. True, the result is known in advance. Not the slightest hint of metal or ceramic products. There are no remains of people and animals, but I am convinced that there are plenty of parts carved from granite of the correct form, mostly split.

How do you like this? Shall we blame everything on nature?

It also doesn't look like a cracked boulder. These are plates stacked one on top of the other.

This was not filmed at a cemetery, and not at a construction site. This stone cannot be natural, it is processed, this can be stated with all certainty. The shamans did not hew it, then who?

The remains of what is in front of us, what kind of civilization? Nobody cares about that. It is much more important to "find" another "bark document" and prove to the whole world that Rurik was, and he was, a Swede. In my opinion, ignoring such facts by science is a crime expressed in the form of inaction. Well, or, at least, here we can talk about an official misconduct, for which you need to be punished as absenteeism. If you can't handle it - get out! Trade Chinese shoes in the market. However ... judging by the latest reforms of our Minister of Education Livanov, the Academy of Sciences in general may soon cease to exist.

However... Let's not talk about sad things. We are in Altai!

Someone will dare to assert that the stone by itself accidentally, by the will of natural forces, turned into a block of the correct form? Not ... Livanov, it doesn’t count, everything is clear with him completely, I ask normal people. If someone says “maybe”, let him answer the question, why then “accidentally” do not appear in nature bolts, nuts, well, or sledgehammers, for example?

Is it just a crack, or has the masonry parted?

But the traces of the recent catastrophe are obvious. They are clearly visible on the ground today. Let's fly higher to see this:

Now let's remember what I said at the very beginning. You do not need to be seven spans in your forehead to guess that all these stones presented in the photo, if they were not always in their places, then they are garbage from structures swept away by a giant water stream, probably about a kilometer high. And the fact that some fragments have retained traces of processing is a real miracle. In theory, nothing should have reached us. But these rare finds indicate that before us in this region there existed a civilization unprecedented in terms of technology. And most of them are buried under a thick layer of sedimentary rocks, soil and covered with turf.

It was the great civilization of the Stone Age. We now live in the Iron Age, and it is far from the Stone Age, therefore, nxj if the catastrophe repeats, there will be nothing left of our civilization at all. The metal will turn into blotches of red color in the rock, and no one will ever be able to make assumptions about the existence of skyscrapers, ships, planes, and even more so computers based on red spots. We, unfortunately, are a virtual civilization, and our experience will not be useful to anyone and never.

There are places on Earth, getting into which people can feel an extraordinary surge of strength and energy. These can be natural monuments, a unique landscape, etc. (mountains, lakes, caves…), places associated with important historical events or religious activities of people (places of pilgrimage) and much more. Such places are called "places of power". A person, getting to a place of power, feels a strong impact, which can manifest itself both on a physical and emotional level. The nature of this impact can be both positive and negative.

It is difficult to say what forces act in these areas, the energy interaction of fields or magnetic attraction, but anomalous phenomena often occur here associated with the release of the Earth's energy, for example, tectonic faults. There is a theory that places of power are the nodes of the energy structure of the planet. It is assumed that this structure is in some movement, i.e. some places of power can lose their energy, while others, on the contrary, strengthen. For example, the famous Stonehenge, located in England, used to be a powerful place of power, but now, due to changes in the energy structure of the Earth, it has lost this status. Accordingly, new places of power constantly appear on the surface of the planet.

The ancients associated these places with the possibility of communicating with higher powers, with the gods. It was in such places that religious buildings were erected - monasteries, churches, temples, and they were called saints or sacral. Moreover, there were special devices that made it possible to enhance their beneficial effect on humans and the environment - dolmens, menhirs, stone circles, in more recent times - stupas, pagodas and psychoenergetic devices, perhaps the most famous of which is Tibetan mantra wheel. Unfortunately, most of these sacred buildings were destroyed, which negatively affects the fate of mankind: the environment is deteriorating, material interests prevail over spiritual ones, and so on.

Among the most famous places of power on the planet: Mount Kailash (Tibet), Mount Belukha (Altai Mountains), Mount Shasta (California), Table Mountain (South Africa), Dolmen on the Pshada River (North Caucasus), Mount Arunachala (India), Okunevo (Western Siberia), Arkaim (South Ural) and others. Recent studies show that places of power are located not only on the surface of the Earth, but also under water. When planning a visit to a place of power, you need to take into account a number of features.

There is with positive energy (contact with the upper worlds) and with negative energy (exit to the lower worlds). Accordingly, people sought to support places of power of the first type, and to block the second. The impact of a place of power on each person is purely individual. For example, if a person is filled with negativity, then visiting positive places of power can cause a severe emotional and physical reaction in him. This is not bad, as it indicates the process of purification, but you need to be prepared for this in advance.

It is important to carefully prepare for the visit, it is advisable to have an experienced guide. It is important to realize that this is not a pleasure walk, but a serious spiritual work associated with contacts with the subtle world and its various manifestations. Unfortunately, today humanity has lost the ancient knowledge about the energy structure of the planet, the role of places of power and their impact on the Earth and humanity. Individual enthusiasts are searching in this direction, but so far it is impossible to objectively assess how much their efforts have brought us closer to the truth.

Application of various sacred practices in places of power, provided that everything is done correctly, can have a huge impact on a person, push him to move to a new stage of spiritual growth.

Places of power in Russia

Arkaim - older brother of the Pyramids

Arkaim is located in the Chelyabinsk region on the territory of the reserve and attracts people from all over Russia. Arkaim called " place of power"," the "ancestral home" of the Slavs, "Aryans" or Indo-Europeans, "the cradle of human civilization."

According to some sources, the name of the city is associated with the name Yimy, as a result of which the settlement is declared nothing less than the homeland Zoroaster.

Scientists believe that age Arkaim older than the age of the Egyptians pyramids and that the people who lived here were the first representatives of the Indo-European culture. Judging by archaeological excavations, this unusual settlement was at the same time a temple, a fortress, a craft center and the most accurate astronomical observatory.

The city was clearly oriented by the stars and, despite the fact that thousands of people come here seeking enlightenment, it is considered a geopathic zone.

The natural energy anomaly in this place is confirmed by instrumental methods. Therefore, representatives of various faiths and all kinds of healers make a pilgrimage to these places.

Bakshay - a sensational find

The sensational nature of the archaeological find is that the Bakshay sanctuary, according to scientists, is a thousand years older than the famous settlement of Arkaim, which again turns historical ideas about the time of the birth of scientific knowledge and civilization on planet Earth.

For five years now, Associate Professor of the Department of History of the Eastern Economics and Humanities Academy, archaeologist of the Republic of Bashkortostan Vitaly Fedorov has been leading the archaeological excavations of the ancient sanctuary Bakshay. According to archaeologists, today it is already possible to speak with firm confidence about the ritual and astrological purpose of the sanctuary.

Vitaly Fedorov has no doubt that the sanctuary has the shape of a circular channel with a diameter of 100 meters, a depth of about one meter and a width of 60 to 70 centimeters, moreover, “broken” on four sides relative to the magnetic grid of the planet. The nearby mountains are a kind of landmarks.

This is a kind of synthesis of the observatory and the temple under open sky. Here, the ancient Aryans performed ceremonies, with the help of landmarks and the movement of the luminaries, they determined significant dates for them in the year. The most important were solar dates, equinoxes and solstices.

Archaeologists and historians admit that it is in this unique place - in the spurs legendary mountain Iremel and such ancient Vedic books as the Avesta and Rigveda were created, the prophet Zarathustra himself preached here, one of the first world religions, Mithraism, arose, and the ancient Aryans worshiped the God of the invincible Sun and justice - Mithra.

Altai - the crossroads of worlds

Altai rich in places of power. Mount Belukha, highest point Altai, is considered one of the energy centers of the universe.

Stay next to white whale it has a very strong effect on a person, so local residents do not recommend climbing it without special need. According to one of the legends, it is there that the ancient Fenugreek- the invisible land of the gods.

Sacred for the Altai, Tuva, Mongolian and Chinese Buddhists is also the Altai mountain knot. Tavan-Bogdo-Ula which is located on the plateau Ukok in the southern part Altai. "Tavan-Bogdo-Ula" in translation means "five divine mountains".

locals claim that the perpetrators of the devastating earthquake of 2003 on Altai are archaeologists who have taken a sacred body out of the earth. Yes, to some extent Ukok- the crossroads of the worlds: ancient and present, besides, it is located on the border of four states: Russia, Kazakhstan, China and Mongolia.

Dolmens - fulfillment of desires

Dolmens are structures of a certain shape made of large stones or stone slabs.

caucasian dolmens were created during the Early and Middle Bronze Age from the 3rd-2nd millennium BC and were used until the 1st millennium BC. e. during the dolmen culture.

Observations for dolmens may be an indirect confirmation of the assumption that the builders of dolmens were sun worshipers, and also allow us to say that they could fix and calculate the movement sun.

solar orientation dolmens disputed by many scientists, but nevertheless, it is an object of research by archaeologists, as well as worship and pilgrimage of modern lovers of esotericism. They say that next to these stone blocks, many desires come true and answers to questions come.

Olkhon - the sacred ancestral home of the Buryats

The main place of power in the Baikal region is located on the sacred island Olkhon- heart Baikal, one of the wonders of the world in Russia.

Olkhon Island- the main sanctuary, a cult center of general Mongolian and Central Asian significance, personifying the sacred ancestral home of the Buryats.

A poetic legend about the origin of the Buryat people is associated with it, according to which the hunter Khoridoi married a heavenly swan maiden here, and they had eleven sons, who later became the ancestors of eleven Khorin clans.

For the Buryat people the island Olkhon- this is the geographical center of the ethnic territory of the Buryats, the sacred center of general Buryat significance.

Olkhon Island, protected from uninvited guests by icy waters Baikal, has preserved the traditional worldview of the Buryats and many customs of the Buryat antiquity longer than other places. Here, according to legend, he was the first to receive a shamanic gift. Buryat shaman.

Places of power attract people. There you can escape from everyday life, feel harmony with nature, open your mind to the unified field of the Universe.

Rules for visiting places of power *Carefully monitor your condition - both on a physical and emotional level.
* Let go of vain thoughts, tune in to communication with a place of power.
*Don't talk unnecessarily, as talking is distracting and wastes energy.
*Follow the signs.
* Respect the place of power.
* Follow all accepted rules and rituals.
*And, of course, do not drink alcoholic beverages, do not litter, etc.

Ayodhya - the sacred place of India

Ayodhya- one of the oldest cities in India, sacred place of power. This is where he was born Frame- the famous hero of myths, the incarnation of the god Vishnu. And today, every year, thousands of pilgrims come here to bow to this place and perform rituals in numerous temples. Ayodhya is mentioned in ancient sources such as the Ramayana, Brahmana Purana, Athara Veda, the latter characterizing the city as "built by the gods and flourishing like a paradise."

Ayodhya located on the Ghagra River, in the Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh. During its centuries-old history, the city has changed many names - Saket, Auda, Kaushaldes, but today it again bears its ancient name, which in Sanskrit means "what you cannot fight against." The founder of Ayodhya-Manu is the first of the people, and the lands where Ayodhya was erected were given to him by the god Vishnu himself. According to another version, the city was founded by King Aidyuha, one of the ancestors of Rama, and the name of the city comes from his name.

It should be noted that Ayodhya attracts not only Hindus, but also followers of other religions common in India. It is known that the first Jain saint, Sri Rishabha Deva, who founded Janiyaism, was born here. Spent a lot of time in Ayodhya and Shakyamuni Buddha. Today, in the holy city, you can visit the sacred sites and monuments of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam. But the real glory and fame to the city was brought by the divine king Rama, who was born here, grew up and left his mortal body.

AT Ayodhya annual crowded festivals are held in honor of Rama - Ramnavami, falling on the month of Chaitra (March-April according to the European calendar). The venue is located on a hill in the western part of the city and is called Ramkot. Other festival events include Shravan Jhula Mela (July-August), Parikrama Mela (October-November), Ram Vivah (November).

get to Ayodhya can be from Lucknow, where the airport is located.

Of course, Altai is a place of the most powerful potential of positive energy. It is located at the junction of four great states: Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan. Each state has contributed to the formation of the traditions and image of modern Altai. Getting into these lands, you feel some kind of sacred connection connecting time and space. A person comes into contact with the wisdom and energy of these places. Since ancient times, people have found in the Altai land something more than forests, rivers and mountains. The presence of mystery and riddles does not leave the traveler who has looked into these places.

Many different kurgan complexes and ritual sites are scattered throughout the Altai. Now we will try to make such a virtual journey to its most sacred places.

So, I bring to your attention a brief overview of the places of power of this amazing area:

No. 1. Plateau Ukok

Photo: well.ru

The Ukok Plateau is considered one of the hard-to-reach places in Altai. Here is the famous massif Tabyn-Bogdo-Ola, which means Five Sacred Peaks. According to some sources, the array is named by Genghis Khan himself.

The local inhabitants of these areas were Scythians. They, like no one else, knew a lot about places where it is best for a person to live. In the same area, a sensational find was made by archaeologists in the mid-90s. In one of the valleys, archaeologists found, which we have already mentioned on the pages of our magazine.

No. 2. Yarlu Valley

Photo — Arsentia

The Yarlu Valley is a place, according to N. Roerich, considered the center of the world and charges any traveler with positive energy. Here the artist spent a lot of time painting his famous canvases. Mount Belukha and the Yarlu valley form a joint pantheon of especially significant places in this area.

The Stone of Wisdom is a treasure of the World and a symbol of worship in Mongolian, Tibetan and Indian traditions.

It is located on the edge of the Kara-Oyuk valley at an altitude of 2550 meters. The lake is considered the most sacred in the area and is guarded by local spirits. Altaians are afraid to appear in these places, and believe that only pure souls and sinless people can come here.

The lake is located on the same line with the Belukha peak, and forms a kind of portal connecting two worlds, the physical and the world of spirits. Without special physical training, guides do not recommend climbing these heights.

Mount Belukha - has great energy and is traditionally considered the entrance to Shambhala.

In the center of the mountain, according to local shamans, there is Belovodie (an exit to another dimension). This is one of the three important centers leading to the holy shrines of Shambhala. The energy coming from the mountain charges everything that is around it: rivers, mountains, trees. Many people come here specifically to be cured of diseases and recharge with holy energy.

An unprepared person should not climb this mountain. Every year unfortunate pioneers die on the slopes of the mountain.

Did you know that at the foot of Belukha the Chapel of the Archangel Michael was built - in memory of the fallen climbers, rescuers and tourists. This is the highest Orthodox chapel in Russia. It stands high on the moraine ridge among the stones between the lower and upper Akkem lakes. It was built by professional builders from Gorno-Altaisk from the team of architect Kirill Khromov. He and his team specialize in such construction. They, among other things, built a church in Antarctica, the only one of its kind. The chapel was built with the money of climbers, tourists, relatives and friends of those people who remained in the mountains, and many more good people from all over the former USSR.
