Legends of Yaman-Tau mountain

(as a hypothesis)

Yaman-Tau is the highest mountain in the Southern Urals. It is located on the territory of the South Ural State Reserve, and is known for the fact that a certain specially protected object is located in it. Many believe that an underground city was built inside Yaman-Tau, capable, in which case, to shelter the country's leadership.

Perhaps this is so, but, having studied the legends and traditions of these places for many years, I would venture to make another hypothesis about what is inside the Yaman-Tau mountain.

In the Bashkir folk epic, Mount Yaman-Tau is associated with the bogatyr Shulgan, the elder brother of the bogatyr of the Urals. In myths, Shulgan is described as a negative hero. He violates the customs of his ancestors and becomes ruler of the underworld.

The name of the largest cave in the Southern Urals - Kapova, better known as the Shulgan-tash caves, as well as the Shulganka river, the water from which was considered dead, is associated with the name of Shulgan. But the place where the hero made the transition to the underworld is not a cave or a river, but Mount Yaman-Tau. Perhaps it was these ideas about the mountain that gave it its name - translated from the Bashkir language Yaman-Tau - "bad mountain" "Bad", that is, "a mountain leading to an underground, cold and dark kingdom."

An interesting detail - Shulgan, passing into the underworld, does not die, but remains alive. Thus, in the Bashkir myths, the Yaman-Tau mountain acts as a kind of portal through which a living person can pass into the other world (parallel) world.

Recent studies have revealed similarities in the motifs and storylines of the Bashkir epic "Ural-Batyr" and the Sumerian-Akkadian epic about Gilgamesh.

One of the storylines of this epic includes a description Gilgamesh's journey through the underworld through the range of mountains surrounding the inhabited world. There he met with the only person who received immortality from the hands of the gods (in the Bashkir epic, Shulgan is a man who went through the mountain into the underworld and at the same time remained alive).

The mysterious country that Gilgamesh visited was called Kur. Sumerian myths do not give its exact coordinates. It is only known that Kur was somewhere very far from the capital of the Sumerian kingdom (most likely, in the northeast direction, which was considered sacred). It is also known that Kur was separated from the rest of the world by an underground river with dead water. In this connection, it will be interesting to note that in the Bashkir language the root "shul" from which the name Shulgan came from is literally translated - "water not suitable for drinking" ("dead water").

Noteworthy is the translation of the word "Kur" itself - "mountain", "mountainous country" - in the literal sense - "country of no return." It is also known that before approaching this place, it was necessary to overcome the “great steppe”, and then the seven gates of Kur.

Far to the northeast of Mesopotamia are the mountains of the Southern Urals, where many peaks have retained the root “kur” in their name.

If you climb Yaman-Tau from the eastern (steppe) side, the traveler will first have to climb relatively low ridges Chur yatmas and tashty Chur yatmas, then pass at the foot of the mountain Chur how, then, to start climbing the Ural-Tau watershed ridge, from one of the peaks of which there are mountains Chur tash - he will see a majestic panorama with Mount Yaman-Tau on the horizon.

Etymological dictionaries do not combine the names of the mountains of the Southern Urals with the root " Chur"into a whole. Chur yatmas translate as "grouse does not live", Chur as - "coward", a Chur tash - "rich stone" Chur hashka. "lead (mountain)" etc. It is quite possible that this happens because today the original mythological ideas about these mountains have been lost and their names are being interpreted based only on the Bashkir language. The root "Kur" itself may have a different, more ancient origin.

And it can be assumed that the place described in Sumerian mythology, through which one could go down to the underworld and return back, was in the Southern Urals, or rather, on Mount Yaman-Tau.

(It is interesting that in Kura Gilgamesh was looking for a flower that gives immortality. For various reasons, he could not take it out of this place. And here another parallel arises. Hercules, performing his 12th feat, went around half the world in search of apples of immortality, and, at the prompt of the titan Prometheus, found them in the Riphean mountains.In these mountains, the Greeks saw the Urals, or to be more precise, the South.The magical fruits from the hero refused to accept all mortals and immortals, and Hercules was forced to return them back to the mysterious garden.More You can read more about this in my article published in the journal Gardens of Russia No. 12.2010, 01.2011.)

Indo-Iranian myths can also lead to Mount Yaman-Tau. There is a hypothesis that the name of the mountain comes from the name of the character of these myths Yima (Iranian) or Yama (Indian). In this case, Yaman-Tau literally means "mountain of Yama (Yima)". At first glance, it may seem that such a comparison is nothing more than a play on words. But at the end of the 20th century, in the Southern Urals, archaeologists discovered a unique civilization that reached an unprecedented level of development for its time (Arkaim, Sintashta, etc.). Scientists called it the "Land of Cities". Further research suggested that the "Country" was inhabited by the ancestors of the Indo-European peoples. Moreover, a striking similarity was found between the country of Aryana Veji (Aryan Expanse) described in the sacred Iranian texts and the ancient archaeological sites found in the Ural land.

From the myths it is known that the “king of the golden age” bright Yima ruled this country. He is also known in myths as "the first to die" and as "the lord of the underworld." Thus, an even more accurate translation of the name of the Yaman-Tau mountain is "mountain of the lord of the underworld." This assumption is in good agreement with the Bashkir myth of the hero Shulgan and the Sumerian myth of Gilgamesh. And not only…

One of the main mysteries of the "Country of Cities" is its unexpected decline. In the abandoned cities of the Southern Urals, no traces of attacks, epidemics, or natural disasters were found. It’s just that at some point the residents gathered their property, put things in order in the cities and literally “ how they fell through the ground ". Many hypotheses are put forward as to why they left the inhabited cities and where they went. Considering that the king of this country was the first to go to the other world, did he not lead others along this way?

The ancient Slavs did not mark themselves in the Southern Urals, but their myths contain many borrowings from Iranian myths. This is not surprising, since in ancient times, the border of the Iranian world ran much to the north of the modern one, and on this northern border the Iranian and Slavic worlds actively exchanged experience and ideas, including ideas about the structure of the world.

So the concept of "Iriy" or paradise could get into Slavic myths. Most likely, it is an abbreviated form of the Iranian word "parairidaez" also meaning paradise.

Regarding where Iriy was located, there are two hypotheses. According to one, Iriy was located on a distant southern island, according to another, Iriy was planted in the Riphean mountains, in which the Slavs saw the Ural Range. The second version seems to be more plausible, because archaeological finds prove that in ancient times part of the Iranian tribes lived in the Urals, but they were not engaged in navigation.

In myths, Iriy is described as a harsh place. Moreover, from it it was possible to get not only to the "higher heaven", but also to the underworld. It is important that each of the trips was made from its own mountain. From the Iry or Alatyr mountain - up to heaven, and from the mountain of sorrow and crying Hvangur - down to the Pecal Kingdom.

There is a hypothesis that the Slavic mountain Khvangur is the real Yaman-Tau, and the Iriyskaya mountain is the real Iremel - the second highest mountain in the Southern Urals, located about 70 km north of Yaman-Tau.

In the underworld, according to Slavic myths, the god Veles was imprisoned, in search of which his beloved Azovka went.

... And the Azovka Vyshnya (the Most High God) prayed:

- God our Highness, Almighty! Give me Vyshen the keys to Svarga (Svarga is a synonym for Iria)! So that pass through Iriy to Hell and find a dear friend there!

And the Almighty heard the prayer. He gave Azovka a cry from Svarga, and opened to her entrance to the realm of Viy. And Azovka passedgates . And Viya appeared before the throne ...

The plot of this Slavic myth was put by the famous Ural writer Bazhov as the basis for the fairy tale "Dear Name" (for those who have not read this fairy tale, but would like to understand what is inside the Yaman-Tau mountain, I strongly recommend doing this). In it, the Ural mountain, into which the hero went, can only be revealed to those who pronounce a new name *

I wonder if those who dug kilometers of tunnels under the highest and most mysterious mountain of the Southern Urals know that this is the most « name", opening a passage to the kingdom of Viy (the Poloz snake), the white-eyed miracle and the wild people, the stories about which the Ural land is so rich?

(* In "Dear Name" the action takes place around the Azov Mountain, located near Yekaterinburg, but the researchers of Bazhov's work note that the writer "tied" all the tales to his small homeland. He took the legends and myths that he collected around Ural.)

The Indian Mahabharata is considered one of the most ancient texts on earth. It begins with a story about the churning of the oceans (“the ocean” in myths is called the world space), in order to obtain the drink of immortality amrita.

To do this, the gods took Mount Mandara, wrapped it around the world serpent Shesha and began to spin it back and forth until amrita began to appear nearby, like butter in milk. The myths tell an interesting detail. Mortals helped the gods, but when the amrita was collected, they felt sorry for sharing with everyone and they went to the trick: some people received the drink of immortality from the hands of the gods and they became equal to the gods or devas, and some were left with nothing and turned into asuras. And after the battle with the devas asuras were forced to go underground.

The Mahabharata does not give the coordinates of where this event took place. But, it can be assumed that it was much north of modern India: where the mysterious ancestral home of the Aryan tribes was located. And in the Urals, where numerous traces of the presence of the ancestors of the Indo-Europeans were found, there is a place where the Indian myth sounds special.

The highest mountain of the Southern Urals, Yaman-Tau, is also the most massive, and it is known that Mandara literally translates as "huge ". It is known from myths that Mandara appeared one of the first and was one of the highest mountains on Earth.

Mount Yaman-Tau is composed exclusively of ancient rocks, their age is estimated at more than 2 billion years. Scientists believe that the age of Yaman-Tau is much older than the age of the Ural Mountains themselves. Yaman-Tau is of volcanic origin. It was once one of the highest mountains that ever existed on Earth. According to some estimates, the "young" Yaman-Tau was much higher than the modern Everest ...

... Hundreds of millions of years passed, Yaman-Tau almost completely collapsed (actually it was not even Yaman-Tau, but a mountain range from Yaman-Tau to Iremel, Shalom and Zigalga), and only after that the formation of the Ural Mountains proper began.

Noteworthy are the names of the mountains that are spurs of Yaman-Tau. From the south, the Yusha ridge adjoins the mountain. in the Slavic (Ural) fairy tales Yusha is the same as the snake Shesha in Indian ( And so that the Earth does not go into the sea, Rod gave birth under it to Yusha the powerful snake, the wondrous multi-strength snake ... If Yusha the snake moves - Mother Earth Cheese will turn).

Near the Yusha ridge (which today is as secret as Mount Yaman-Tau) is the place Assy (known as a resort with unique mineral waters), Assami in Indo-Iranian myths is called a class of demigods. In Indian myths, they are often called asuras - people who did not receive the drink of immortality from the gods and were forced to go to the underworld (Patalu), the king of which myths call Sheshu (Yushu)-Anantu himself (Shulgana?). The connection between the king of the underworld Sheshi-Ananta and the bogatyr Shulgan, who went to the underworld in the region of Mount Yaman-Tau, is indicated by the fact that Shesha-Ananta in one of his incarnations was the elder brother of Krishna, just as Shulgan was the elder brother of the Urals. Just like Shulgan, Shesha-Ananta first lived on Earth. The elements of both characters of myths are world waters.

Thus, an analysis of Indian myths allows us to make an incredible assumption: under the Yaman-Tau mountain, they are again trying to get "something", which will give humanity strength for further creation. All mankind take advantage of this "something" will not be able to, but for the elect it will be salvation (if I'm wrong, then why is there such secrecy on the mountain?).

Such a conclusion surprisingly echoes the conclusions made by L.N. Gumilyov in the book "Ethnogenesis and the biosphere of the earth." In it, Lev Nikolaevich proved that humanity, being a part of nature, is subject to its global laws and, in particular, the law of entropy - the gradual loss of energy. But humanity does not turn into a herd of animals, because from time to time people of a special kind are born on earth - inventors, travelers, social and religious leaders. They bring with them a new charge of energy: new ideas, new values ​​- and pull everyone else along with them. In fact, they make it possible for others to remain human.

Gumilyov called these special people "passionaries". He also studied the patterns of their birth. According to Gumilyov, they are born during the so-called. "passionary impulses". The scientist does not name the exact source of these shocks, pointing only to their cosmic origin. But on earth, this extraterrestrial influence manifests itself only in certain places, usually at the junctions of landscapes. At these points, the so-called. "centers of ethnogenesis". Lev Nikolaevich believed that the process of ethnogenesis occurs spontaneously, but if you know the place where the next cosmic ray can hit, if you know the approximate time ... - then you can say that geniuses and prophets can be "made" to order. And Mount Yaman-Tau is a very attractive place for this.

Assumptions are often made that secret scientific developments can be carried out at the facility located under the Yaman-Tau mountain. Such assumptions are not without meaning. Thus, it is well known that in recent years the laboratories of physicists have been going deeper and deeper underground. For example, in the North Caucasus near Mount Elbrus in the rock at a depth of 2 km from the surface, Russian scientists have been trying for several years to “catch” one of the most mysterious and elusive particles of the neutrino microcosm.

The fact that such work can be carried out under the most massive mountain of the Southern Urals is indicated by several facts. Several high-voltage power lines approach the secret object. It is quite possible that the large power consumption is due to all kinds of detectors, accelerators and other equipment installed inside.

In addition, from a geological point of view, Yaman-Tau is a unique place for experiments with gravitational fields, elementary particles, etc. The thickness of the earth's crust here reaches almost maximum values, there are no geological faults under the mountain, and the rocks themselves are distinguished by a very high density and hardness. Such a "terrestrial firmament" will not only filter out all unwanted (background) radiation from the cosmos, but will also bend space and time itself - and here it is: the portal to another world is open.

In this regard, it is worth returning briefly to myths again. The ancient Indians knew that the gods, in order to get the power for creation in our world (or rather, for their manifestation in our world and self-realization), need a huge mountain. This mountain they called Mandara (“huge” or “solid”). This mountain rose above the surface of the earth by 11 thousand yojanas (1 iojan is approximately 4 km) and went underground by the same amount (for comparison, see above the origin of Mount Yaman-Tau). Even the gods were unable to pull this hulk out of the ground.

On the Internet, it has been repeatedly suggested that experiments on cloning and the creation of transgenic organisms can be carried out under the Yaman-Tau mountain. This idea also deserves attention. In fact, in the Indian Mahabharata, if we discard the details, it is described how a center of speciation formed around the mountain after a natural cataclysm that destroyed almost all life on the planet. In this understanding, the Indian myth echoes the biblical myth of the flood and Noah's ark. It has been hypothesized that this ark was not actually a huge ship. According to the dimensions given by the Bible, a wooden ship simply cannot be built. The ark was a hiding place, quite possibly a cave inside Ararat. After the completion of the flood, it was from this place that people again settled on the earth, and all kinds of plants and animals came out. According to the Bible, these were the same people, plants and animals that existed before the flood. But modern scientists have doubts about this.

Today, many facts have been accumulated that the theory of evolution of Charles Darwin cannot describe the process of the appearance on Earth of new species of plants, animals and man himself. This leads to the conclusion that they were formed not as a result of gradual complication and natural selection, but almost instantly. (For example, there were no flower plants on Earth, and suddenly, without any intermediate forms, they appeared.) There is reason to believe that this happened immediately after global catastrophes (climate changes, lithosphere shifts, collisions with large asteroids, etc. .). Based on such ideas, Noah's Ark can be called a kind of laboratory for the creation of a "new earth and a new heaven" new people, plants and animals. The idea of ​​building "laboratories" belongs to God himself (both the Bible and the Mahabharata directly speak about this and see Avesta, a description of Vara), otherwise - to extraterrestrial intelligence, and it is built by the hands of the most advanced antediluvian people. And all this is done in the name of the future.

I don’t know how it is in the case of the ark near Yaman-Tau: it is built by the “advanced”, or simply by those who hope to sit out, but the plant breeding experiments that the author has conducted over the past 20 years have shown that new varieties of agricultural crops can be created here much more interesting than in other places (this, by the way, is not the idea of ​​the author of the article: N.I. Vavilov wrote that the centers of speciation on Earth are confined to mountainous areas and have a local location). Perhaps this is also well known in the underground city of the Urals.

Daniil Andreev's book "The Rose of the World" is dedicated to the fate of Russia and the World. It was written before the grandiose construction began inside the Yaman-Tau mountain. But in "Rose of the World" (as well as in "Russian Gods") there is Ural underground "trace".

Describing parallel worlds that have "very special significance" for humanity he wrote that each of the metacultures of the Earth has its own antipole, on which holy cities of anti-humanity. These worlds are connected with the lower layers of the earth's crust and the so-called. "compensatory ledges" of the planet, which are projected onto the surface of the earth in the form of mountain ranges.

Many wrote about the hollow earth and travels to its center (Dante, Jules Verne, Obruchev, etc.), but Daniil Andreev, in his "travels" to other worlds, introduces a clear geographical coordinate. He thought (he saw?) the most important of the infra-cities of Russia is located on the compensation ledge of the anti-Urals !!!(for details, see "Rose of the World", book four, chapter three, as well as "Russian Gods", chapter "The Other Side of the World").

(... But didn’t the builders of one of the most secret construction projects in Russia, which unfolded under the highest mountain of the Southern Urals, tried to break through to him?)

The main shrine of the capital of anti-Russia is the temple "representing a mountain hollowed out from the inside."

The vital forces of humanity of anti-Russia are supported by the psychic energy of earthly Russia.

And the most interesting:

“The main city of anti-Russia is surrounded by an annular citadel consisting of concentric circles. In one of them languishes Navna, the ideal Cathedral Soul of Russia. Relatively recently, a dense vault was erected over it. Now her voice is barely audible. “Only the believers in earthly Russia and the enlightened in Heavenly Russia hear her voice. “Who is she - Navna? What unites Russians into a single nation; something that calls individual Russian souls up and up; that which envelops the art of Russia with a unique fragrance; that which stands above the purest and highest female images of Russian legends, literature and music; that which gives rise in Russian hearts to a longing for a high, special duty intended only for Russia - all this is Navna ... ".

... and the place of her captivity according to Andreev is an underground city under the Ural Mountains.

In this regard, the question remains open - what did the builders do under the most mysterious mountain of the Urals - they helped "strengthen" vault of the dungeon for the Cathedral Soul of Russia or vice versa, tried it "destroy"?

Very few people know what they actually did, but from the Rose of the World, which many in our country consider a prophetic book, we can conclude that in the Urals, in the region of a giant mountain hollowed out from the inside, Andreev saw what we can call it a portal between the worlds.

What this portal may be Mount Yaman-Tau, is confirmed by other sources: Bashkir, Iranian, Indian, Sumerian, Slavic myths. This does not contradict the more or less official version regarding what is located under the highest mountain of the southern Urals. Most often called "the city, in which, in which case, the Russian government can go." But how to "leave"? It may be that at one time the white-eyed Chud, the virgins, Yama, Shulgan, Veles “left” through the mountain ...

... It turns out quite some kind of devilry. “If it’s true, well, at least a third…”, then there are citizens in our country who already have little to have secluded guarded towns in the Moscow region or somewhere on the southern coast of France. They have prepared for themselves a "secluded place" of a completely different kind - get them out of there! (author's joke).

More seriously again.

If we assume that the “object” under the mountain Yaman-Tau may be intended for communication with another world or solving other occult problems, it is worth remembering a very recent story.

The leadership of Nazi Germany literally raved about occult ideas. According to one of them, under the surface of the Earth, in another dimension, there was another more highly developed civilization. It was its inhabitants that the ancient inhabitants of our planet called "gods". From time to time, the gods briefly appeared in our world and brought new ideas and technologies to people.

In search of a passage ("gate") to another world, the Germans searched the entire surface of the Earth ... and, ... apparently, this search yielded results. Indirectly, this is indicated by the fact that during the short time of the existence of the Third Reich, it was possible to raise science to a very high level of development. Many of those who studied this phenomenon came to the conclusion that someone more powerful shared a number of scientific ideas and technologies with the Germans.

In recent years, much has been said about the Antarctic project of Nazi Germany. Allegedly, it is in the region of the South Pole of the Earth that the secret institutions are able to find a passage to the other world. They transported hundreds of thousands of tons of mining equipment, entire factories, thousands of the best representatives of the Aryan race to the icy continent with special overground and underground convoys. When, after the war, the Americans rushed to look for traces of German expeditions in Antarctica, they found nothing, everything “fell through the ground” (from which many concluded that the elite of Nazi society still managed to realize the super-idea of ​​becoming part of “superhumanity”).

To be fairer, the Americans did find something in Antarctica, and it was ... (!) Soviet aircraft and warships. As it became known later, they were also looking for traces of German Antarctic expeditions. And the fact that our country ended up on the southern continent before the Americans is explained very simply: we got most of the Nazi documents dedicated to finding a portal to another world.

In Antarctica, the Soviet Union was no more fortunate than the United States and other allies. But, here it should be remembered that the Germans, in their search for a portal between worlds, proceeded from the fact that there is not one on earth: there are at least two of them, and maybe much more. So if the Antarctic passage was closed behind the Germans, then in other places of the planet it was quite possibly still open. The search could well continue ... (which, of course, nothing was reported to the “general public”).

What had to be done for this? - First of all, it is good to study the ancient myths and legends, which reported contacts with the other world. Find the most suspicious places and dig well towards another world…

Yes, here's more very important- you had to earn something to be accepted in another world. And with this, everything is not so simple.

So the hero Shulgan, in order to become the ruler of the underworld, had to break all the taboos of his kind. The Aryan king Yima (Yama), before becoming the first to recognize the passage to the underworld, had to commit three times what is called the "fall" in myths. With Veles, who thundered in Hell, it was also not all clean (in fact, Veles was a werewolf god). Well, about the Nazis it is still more obvious: in order to get an "entry ticket" to the dungeon, you had to do a lot of things like that ...! Surprisingly, the principle of selecting emigrants is the same everywhere - become a kind of Bad Guy - give up all traditions, break all prohibitions, destroy culture, morals and you will become a worthy candidate. And there is no place for honest and noble kibalchish in that world... And, this is already very sad...

Although the author hopes that everything may not be so hopeless. Perhaps, under the Yaman-Tau mountain, our government really wants to createSOMETHING about our future .

Continuation of the theme of the secrets of Mount Yamatau.

As the analysis shows, construction in Russia private underground shelters long-term use is only at an early stage.

At the same time, one can mention the Russian experience in creating entire underground cities to shelter government organizations, their employees and families- http://cianet.ru/index.php?topic=45.0 or http://slavs.org.ua/secret-city.

The President of Russia knows a lot and acts correctly.

The results of the investigation of the pathfinders "URA.Ru"

The relevant article dated October 15, 2008 is titled "SECRET UNDERGROUND CITY IN THE SOUTHERN URALS" and is given below without any edits (search the Internet and you will find a number of forum discussions):

“The secret base of the Russian government was discovered in the mountains of the Southern Urals, not far from the Abzakovo ski center, where Russian President Vladimir Putin frequented. There are a lot of rumors around the mountain bunker, and even the residents of nearby settlements do not really know what kind of objects have been built in the mountains since the Cold War.

"URA.Ru" decided to find out what kind of secret complex is located in the Southern Urals. What do the builders of the underground city say? Where it is located? How is it protected? What communications are provided? All the secrets are in the material of our agency.

At the beginning of the new, 21st century, the President of Russia became a frequent visitor to the South Ural ski resort Abzakovo, located about 60 km from Magnitogorsk. Neither Putin nor his aides could explain to the public why the head of state chose this place. Officially, Putin liked skiing there. But there is also an unofficial version. So, the president came to control completion of construction of a secret underground city, located in the highest mountain of the South Ural massif - Yamantau(translated from Bashkir - "bad head", height 1640 m).

Hello from America

The Americans were the first to tell the whole world about the existence of a secret mountain facility in the South Urals. On April 16, 1996, The New York Times published an article reporting on a mysterious military base being built in Russia. “In a secret project reminiscent of the horrific Cold War era, Russia is building a giant military complex underground in the Ural Mountains, according to Western officials and witnesses in Russia. Hidden inside Mount Yamantau in the Beloretsk region (today - the city of Mezhgorye - ed.) in the Southern Urals, a huge complex is approached by a railway and a highway. Thousands of workers are involved in the work,” the newspaper wrote.

The topic was picked up by other foreign media. The Washington Times published an article on April 1, 1997, "Moscow is building bunkers in case of a nuclear attack", which stated that "while the United States has closed most of these facilities, Russia is rapidly pursuing a costly program to build underground shelters, tunnels and command posts inherited from the Cold War. In particular, work continues on the creation of an underground command post for strategic forces in the Urals near the city of Beloretsk.”

Foreign publications tried to take comments from Russian officials. But, of course, no clear explanation followed. Russian journalists did not pick up the sensation about the secret facility in Mount Yamantau: several materials followed, in which there were suggestions about the extraction of uranium ore in the South Ural mountain, and about the repository of state values, and about the reserve of food products. Among the others, the version of building a bunker for the Russian government in case of a nuclear war was put forward. But slowly the topic of the special facility in Yamantau faded away.

At the top of the mountain there is a heliport, at any time it can receive a government helicopter with passenger number 1.

tourist spies

Meanwhile, unlike the general public, Yamantau has not been forgotten by tourists who climb this mountain every year. They say that just since the beginning of the 2000s, measures to protect the environs of Yamantau have become tougher. On the one hand, the mountain is located on the territory of the South Ural State Reserve (they say that the reserve was established there not by chance). But the Yamantau neighborhood is patrolled not only by rangers, but also by the military.

“In the area of ​​the Yamantau special facility, it is necessary to be careful, not to make noise, not to make smoky fires and not to give out your presence in any other bad way. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting acquainted with the life and traditions of the special forces, giving them the footage (money, knife, cigarettes), hoarse, proving that you are not a spy from Alabama, and if in the end you are nevertheless released or handed over to the rangers (and not shot), you will still be sincerely grateful to them, ”tourists share their advice.

Those who have reached the top of Yamantau say that it is a huge rocky plateau, with a small pile of rocky outcrops in the center. “At the top until the early 90s. there was a military unit serving a concrete helipad and military special equipment. After the military, ruins of former buildings, puddles of fuel oil and piles of rusted iron remained on the top of the mountain,” eyewitnesses say.

We saw tourists and mines leading deep into the mountains. But most of the people who have visited Yamantau claim that uranium mines are most likely located there. “We found pool sections there, separated by concrete partitions. Most likely, they were intended for pre-transportation storage of uranium ore,” says one of the tourists. “However, even the inhabitants of Mezhgorye, located at the foot of the mountain, do not fully know about what is hidden in the bowels of Mount Yamantau. The Yamantau facility has the status of increased secrecy - this is a fact, everything else is just speculation and assumptions, ”says another.

The underground city is provided with all communications, including electricity.

secret city

But the observers were wrong in their assumptions. In Mount Yamantau, not mines were built, but a real underground city. Our agency was able to contact several builders who took part in its construction. All persons related to Yamantau signed a non-disclosure agreement, so their names are not disclosed.

So, as one of the participants in the events said, the construction of an underground base in Mount Yamantau really began in the Soviet years, during the Cold War. The facility was designed and built by the Department of Construction-30, subordinate to the Ministry of Defense. The administration is based in ZATO Mezhgorye (formerly Belorets-16, also called the city of Solnechny). Construction Department-30 specializes in the construction of facilities and facilities for underground and surface accommodation, conducts large-scale underground construction: in this area, US-30 is one of the largest construction organizations.

Work on the construction of the underground city was completed around 2002 (just at the time of Putin's frequent visits to Abzakovo). Since then, constant work has been carried out to maintain the complex (hence the enhanced protection of the territory). A branch of the railway has been brought to Mount Yamantau. A motor road was launched from Magnitogorsk.

The city in the mountain is designed for the simultaneous residence of 300 thousand people (for example, 400 thousand people live in Magnitogorsk, 1.5 million in Yekaterinburg).

“In the underground complex, which is divided into so-called “houses”, all the necessary infrastructure has been created: communications have been connected, life support systems have been established. All conditions have been created so that people can stay in this underground city for at least six months without leaving the surface, ”says an eyewitness. According to another witness, the complex consists of a system of shafts with a diameter of 30 meters and a total length of about 500 km.

An official explanation of the purpose for which a secret underground facility was built and is still being maintained in Mount Yamantau, for which such unprecedented security measures are being taken, has not been obtained. President Vladimir Putin said nothing about whether Russia is in danger in today's annual message.

Note. The following is information from a forum on the topic - "Excerpt from an article in the Washington Post:

“In a House Armed Services Committee hearing last Thursday, Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Maryland, called for caution. He drew attention to a huge underground facility deep under the Yamantau mountain in the Urals, which is still being built by some 20,000 workers. Here is what Mr. Barlett, one of the few legislators who is a real scientist, said: “In recent years (Russians) have been increasing their activity (there) - building football fields and other cultural and entertainment facilities that they do not provide to anyone else in their society. . This is more important to them than paying $200 million for the service module of the International Space Station (ISS). This is more important for them than the payment of salaries to military personnel. This is such a large object (underground) as the inner territory, which is surrounded by the ring road of our capital. And the only reasonable use of this kind of object is during or after a nuclear war. There is no other reason for a country as financially constrained as Russia to continue pumping huge resources into an enterprise like Mount Yamantau.”

This Ural topic periodically gets into the media and is discussed.

VERSION for "KONT"

Whatever the technical details of this major Russian project, it should receive our positive assessment.

The creation of such strategic underground protective shelters is useful and not only in Russia. At the same time, we are talking not about objects of "military purpose" (in the event of a nuclear war), but also in the event of possible global catastrophes.

This is "something" for which you should not save money from the state budget even in the difficult crisis years of 2016-2020!

Some state secrets have long ceased to be a secret for ordinary citizens. The existence of a secret shelter in Mount Yamantau is known not only in Russia, but also on the other side of the ocean. The fact that Mount Yamantau is an underground city has been heard by many, despite the fact that there is no official confirmation of this information.

The main secret of the Southern Urals

Why Yamantau:

secret residence

The first information that the “bad mountain” is being used to create a bunker for the government appeared in the press in the 90s of the last century. The Americans showed particular interest in the underground construction. Even today, most of the information about the secret object can be found in the English part of the Internet. In April 1996, the well-known American newspaper The New York Times published an article telling that an object of unknown purpose was being built in the Urals. Officials offered versions of what exactly Mount Yamantau could serve. The need to build an underground city arose because Russia needs a new reliable storage. There was also a version that there would be no secret settlement in the mountain. It's just mining.

Despite assurances from the Russian government that the secret facility was out of service, being built for peaceful purposes, and did not threaten the United States in any way, the Americans continued to worry about the construction work. The US government suspected that the facility was being built using loans that Russia took on the other side of the ocean. The country was in a difficult economic situation. There were no funds even for the issuance of salaries. Consequently, there would be no money for an expensive construction site in Russia.

Preparations for construction began in the late 1970s. At this time, there was a ban on visiting the area around the mysterious mountain. The reason for the ban was explained to the general public by the need to create a reserve. There is an opinion that the reserve was supposed to become a kind of screen behind which a secret object would be hidden. For the construction of the bunker, a special enterprise was created, which has survived to this day.

The fact that Yamantau is an underground city, a bunker, is evidenced by the increased attention of the Russian president to the local resort. At the beginning of the new century, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, who had already taken his post, became a frequent guest at the Abzakovo ski center. This resort is located a few dozen kilometers from Magnitogorsk. There is nothing strange about the head of state's visit to a ski resort. Vladimir Vladimirovich loves skiing. However, there are other, more comfortable complexes in Russia. According to the unofficial version, the president came here only to supervise the construction and constant modernization of the secret facility.

The guess that Yamantau is a secret underground city, a bunker, is confirmed by the fact that the area is guarded not only by rangers, but also by the military. A person in this area should not betray his presence in any way. Campfires and photography are prohibited here. Trying to capture the scenic beauty of nature can lead to serious conflict with the special forces if they notice your actions. The desire to take a picture will be perceived as an act of espionage. Mount Yamantau is an underground city. It is not worth taking photos in its vicinity.

The construction work of the secret facility was completed in the early 2000s (approximately in 2002). However, technological progress is constantly moving forward, and in this regard, the underground city needs timely modernization. A giant building requires protection and maintenance. A railway line was built to the mountain, as well as a road from Magnitogorsk. The uninitiated can only guess what secrets Mount Yamantau hides. The underground city was built in anticipation of war. One can only hope that it will never be necessary to use it.

To the north of the Bashkir city of Beloretsk is Mount Yamantau - the highest point in the Southern Urals. For twenty years now, this area has attracted the close attention of many. And it's not just the beauties of the local nature.

Reserve of Secrets

Translated from the Bashkir "yaman tau" means "bad mountain". It is difficult to climb it, on the slopes there is a deaf taiga, swamps, placers of sharp stone blocks, it is easy to get lost in thick fogs (see photo). In short - "bad mountain".

In the 1960s, geologists, designers, and builders frequented these parts. Then, at the height of the Cold War, on Mount Yaman-Tau, at an altitude of 1640 m, they decided to build a military facility. More precisely, not on the mountain, but inside it.

A railroad was stretched along the slope. At the foot of the mountain, workers' settlements grew up. The territory was declared a closed South Ural Nature Reserve. And for those who live here, work or serve, they introduced the same allowances and benefits as for residents of the Arctic. Although from the Southern Urals to the Far North ... You understand.

Yamantau small is the second hump of Yamantau, small 1510 m.

The secrecy and scale of the construction suggested that something very serious was being built in case of war.

When the USSR collapsed, the construction site was mothballed. But in the 1990s, work began to boil again on Mount Yamatau. A concrete plant and a mining and processing plant, called Yuzhno-Uralsky, grew up here. Concrete, for sure, required underground work. But the plant ... Nobody has ever seen its products.

Journalists also drew attention to the fact that in 2007 the Russian president fell in love with the Abzakovo ski resort and began to visit it regularly. And by the way, Abzakovo to Yamatau - 15 minutes by helicopter. It seems that the work was completed and the main "customer" accepted the finished object.

The mountains of Bashkortostan are quite popular with tourists. Some people manage to climb Yamatau, bypassing the checkpoint and not attracting the attention of military patrols and rangers. On a flat top the size of two football fields, tourists see the remains of rusting structures, an imposing tower with an elevator shaft from which powerful fans drive underground air out. From here, a concrete road leads down the slope to closed villages (see photo).

Soldiers who once served at the construction site and guarding the facility talk about eight shafts with a diameter of 30 m, each of which goes to a depth of up to a kilometer.

It is assumed that the mines are connected by tunnels, equipped with autonomous water and power supply systems, communication lines, electric trains (metro). Under the protection of a thousand-ton granite shield, this complex will withstand any thermonuclear strike.

Mines? Missile base? Storage? Bunker?

Decades have passed. The villages have long turned into a closed city of Mezhgorye on the slope of Mount Yamantau, inhabited by builders and military pensioners. But what the bowels of the mountain hide is unknown. There are only rumors and speculation.

Maybe uranium ores are mined in the depths of the mountains, and the plant processes them? But there is no such level of secrecy in any uranium mine. And the level of radiation on the mountain is within the normal range. It is possible that the GOC was built as a distraction to hide the purpose of the object.

Some people believe that state reserves are stored in the mines - food, manufactured goods, and so on in case of emergencies. True, for several decades no one has seen a hint that something like this was brought into the mines.

Are there missile launchers hidden in the mines? Experts are skeptical about this assumption.

More plausible than others is the version that the dungeon of Mount Yamantau will become a bunker - the residence of the country's leadership and a command post in case of a nuclear war. It is also possible that they plan to evacuate the main state values ​​(gold reserves, etc.) here.

In general, for now, Mount Yamatau is in no hurry to reveal its secrets.

For 30 years, under the highest mountain range of the Southern Urals in Mount Yamantau, a grandiose construction of an underground city has been going on and to this day remains classified as “top secret”.

Work on the construction of a secret facility was started even under the USSR. According to one of the many versions, a headquarters was built at ZATO Mezhgorye, primarily to shelter the highest ranks of the Central Committee of the CPSU and scientists in the event of a nuclear war.

But soon the "cold war" with the United States ended, the nuclear arms race was stopped. Most ZATOs (closed administrative-territorial entities) are gone. Many scientists hastily left for the West, and those who remained began to eke out a miserable existence. The construction of a secret facility was mothballed.
However, with the coming to power of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the construction of the underground city resumed and the cutting of the rock began with renewed vigor. In the very first year (2000 AD) of Putin's presidency, only official injections into the budget of ZATO Mezhgorye increased significantly.

According to people who were involved in the construction and were directly at the site, it was found that the underground city under construction can be compared with a beehive, which is a system of mines with a diameter of up to 30 meters and a total length of up to 500 kilometers. The mines are divided into so-called "houses", which have all the usual infrastructure, communications, and life support systems. The grandiose scale of the underground city is illustrated by the fact that a crushing and screening plant was specially erected here to utilize the gigantic amount of stone extracted when cutting down the rock.

Analysts have calculated that currently 40-60 thousand people can live underground (with the official population of the city of Mezhgorye - 16.6 thousand), but if necessary, the underground city can simultaneously accommodate up to 300 thousand people.

Despite the economic crises, billions of dollars were allocated (and continue to be allocated) for the construction of an underground city, while the military, teachers, doctors, miners, workers, students, pensioners, large and low-income families for months did not receive their meager salaries, scholarships, pensions, not to mention about social subsidies.

Military units were disbanded, ships and submarines were sold, military bases abroad were closed, and so on. etc.

But with all this, Vladimir Putin has always been sophisticated, is located next to a secret facility under construction and, with enviable regularity, not far from Yamantau, visited the Abzakovo ski base, which is unremarkable for a presidential level. In addition, later, in the same place at the confluence of the Katun and Ursul rivers, he “managed” to build another palace for himself, to which a guarded road of 20 kilometers was built, reinforced, which has the official name as an adjoining to the M-52 highway. The real road is a serpentine, literally cut through the rocks. The cost of building this road with a length, as mentioned above, of 20 kilometers, according to unofficial data, amounted to 4 billion rubles. By the way, this palace-residence is not included in the official network of residences of top officials of the Russian Federation. All these circumstances can only point to the fact of the true presence of our President Vladimir Putin and his personal control over the progress of construction, probably the most dear to his heart, with whom he obviously shares hopes for saving his life and the lives of his owners. In this case, I dare to responsibly assert that V.V. Putin and his inner circle, as well as others standing above him, are deeply mistaken and, as you know, hope dies last!

On the instructions of Vladimir Putin, Infrastructure CJSC controlled by Roman Abromovich and the German company Herrenkneeht AG signed a contract in March 2008 for the construction of the world's largest mining shield capable of digging tunnels with a diameter of 19 meters, which will be able to lay 250-300 meters in a month a two-tier tunnel containing a six-lane highway, or four lanes of a highway and a metro line. The cost of such equipment is 100 million euros.

The former first secretary of the Bashkir regional committee of the CPSU, Midkhat Zakirovich Shakirov, was the first to open the veil of secrecy about the facility under construction in ZATO Mezhgorye, he said that a shelter was being built in the mountains in case of a nuclear war. But his words were immediately refuted: "The object is being built for other purposes and has nothing to do with military needs."

New York Times April 16, 2004.
“In a secret project reminiscent of the horrific Cold War era, Russia is building a giant military complex underground in the Ural Mountains, according to Western officials and witnesses in Russia. Hidden inside Mount Yamantau in the region of Beloretsk in the Southern Urals, a huge complex is connected by a railway and a highway. Thousands of workers are involved in the work."

From a speech by US Congressman Roscoe Barlett:
“... In recent years, the Russians have been increasing their activity there (at the facility in Mezhgorye) ... This is more important for them than giving 200 million US dollars for the service module of the International Space Station. This is more important for them than the payment of salaries to military personnel. This is such a large underground facility, like the inner territory, which is surrounded by the ring road of our capital. And the only reasonable use of this kind of object is during or after a nuclear war. There is no other reason for a country as financially constrained as Russia to continue pumping huge resources into an enterprise like Mount Yamantau…”

P.S.
Many people believe that the territory of the Altai Republic is the center of the Earth. From generation to generation, local residents tell their children from mouth to mouth the same legend about their special and magical land. Mount Yamantau, according to the beliefs of the ancestors, is the heart of the Earth, which supplies blood (life energy) to all blood vessels (life system) of the planet Earth. Now we all began to understand that Our Earth is not only a house in which we live and spiritually abide, but also a living organism endowed with consciousness and the ability to feel. From Us, and believe me, only from Us depends the favorable condition of the Earth and its lawful existence in the Universe.

There are many conflicting facts about the city under construction inside Mount Yamantau, but I am inclined to believe all of the above, and I know that this place is the “cradle of doomsday”.

WISH EVERYONE - PEACE AND GOOD!
