Drawings from space at Dyatlov Pass. Ancient signs discovered at Dyatlov Pass (photo, video)

There are many versions of the death of the Dyatlov group. They talk about unusual natural phenomena, secret tests and even UFOs... Unfortunately, as often happens, most of those who made films and wrote these same newspaper articles have never seen either the investigation materials or the results of examinations of this case. We will try to talk about the death of the group without prejudice, based solely on investigative materials.

Tent under the snow

On February 1, 1959, a group of tourist skiers (mostly students from Sverdlovsk) began climbing the mountain marked on their map as No. 1079. These were Igor Dyatlov (23 years old), Zinaida Kolmogorova (22 years old), Yuri Doroshenko (21 years old), Yuri Krivonischenko (23 years old), Lyudmila Dubinina (20 years old), Alexander Kolevatov (24 years old), Rustem Slobodin (23 years old) , Thibault-Brignolle Nikolay (23 years old), Zolotarev Alexander (37 years old).

On February 12, the group was supposed to arrive in the village of Vizhay and send a telegram to the sports club about the completion of the route. They have not come. A search operation was launched in the mountains. On February 26, an abandoned tent was found on the eastern slope of that same mountain. She was cut from the inside.

The Dyatlov group's tent was found by search engines Boris Slobtsov and Mikhail Sharavin, UPI students. Examining the eastern slope of the ridge with binoculars, Sharavin noticed a mound in the snow that looked like a littered tent. When the searchers came closer, they saw that the entire tent was covered with snow, from under which only the entrance was visible. Only the skis stuck into the snow stuck above the surface. The tent itself was covered with a hard layer of snow 20 cm thick. Footprints in the snow, going into the forest, indicated that the tourists had hastily left their accommodation for the night, cutting the tarpaulin of the tent. After the tent was discovered, a search for tourists was organized.

Stripped corpses

The frozen and mutilated bodies of all nine members of the group were found within a radius of one and a half kilometers from the tent.

So, at the very border of the forest, near the remains of a fire pit, the corpses of Yuri Doroshenko and Yuri Krivonischenko were found. The boys' arms and legs were burned and cut. Moreover, both corpses were found in their underwear without shoes. The boys' clothes were cut off with a knife. These clothes were subsequently found on other members of the group. This indicated that both Yuri were practically the first to freeze...

The examination found traces of leather and other tissues on the tree trunk. The guys climbed the tree to the last to break branches for the fire, while peeling their already frostbitten hands to the flesh.

With all my might

Soon, with the help of dogs, under a thin layer of snow, on the line from the tent to the cedar, they discovered the corpses of Igor Dyatlov and Zina Kolmogorova.

Igor Dyatlov was approximately 300 meters from the cedar, and Zina Kolmogorova was approximately 750 meters from the tree. Igor Dyatlov's hand peeked out from under the snow. He froze in such a position, as if he wanted to get up and go in search of his comrades again.

180 meters from Dyatlov’s corpse, towards the tent, the corpse of Rustem Slobodin was found. He was under a layer of snow on a slope: conditionally, between the corpses of Dyatlov and Kolmogorova. One of his feet was shod in felt boots. Rustem Slobodin was found by search engines in the classic “dead body”, which is observed in people frozen directly in the snow.

A later forensic medical examination established that Dyatlov, Doroshenko, Krivonischenko and Kolmogorova died from exposure to low temperatures - no damage was found on their bodies, with the exception of minor scratches and abrasions.

An autopsy of Rustem Slobodin revealed a 6 cm long skull fracture, which he received during his lifetime. However, experts found that his death, like everyone else’s, was due to hypothermia.

Mangled bodies

On May 4, in the forest, 75 meters from the fire, under a four-meter layer of snow, the remaining corpses were found - Lyudmila Dubinina, Alexander Zolotarev, Nikolai Thibault-Brignolle and Alexander Kolevatov.

There were no injuries on the body of Alexander Kolevatov; death was due to hypothermia.

Alexander Zolotarev had broken ribs on the right. Nikolai Thibault-Brignolles had extensive hemorrhage in the right temporal muscle and a depressed fracture of the skull.

Lyudmila Dubinina had a symmetrical fracture of several ribs; death occurred from extensive hemorrhage in the heart within 15-20 minutes after receiving the injury. The corpse had no tongue. On the bodies found and next to them were the trousers and sweaters of Yuri Krivonischenko and Yuri Doroshenko who remained at the fire. This clothing had even traces of cuts...

The criminal case into the death of the Dyatlov group was discontinued with the following wording: “Taking into account the absence of external bodily injuries and signs of struggle on the corpses, the presence of all the group’s valuables, and also taking into account the conclusion of the forensic medical examination on the causes of death of tourists, it should be considered that the cause the death of tourists was a natural force that the tourists were unable to overcome.”

Over the following years, numerous attempts were made to understand what happened on the slope of that ill-fated mountain. A wide variety of versions have been put forward - from quite plausible to unlikely, and even delusional. At the same time, they often forgot about the existing facts...

The events of that tragic night when Dyatlov’s group died were reconstructed solely based on the materials of the investigation and subsequent criminal examinations. So those who are expecting aliens, fantastic anomalies and secret tests need not read further. Here there will only be fatal mistakes, hopelessness and the life-sucking bitter cold of the Northern Urals...

Warnings and Errors

From the testimony of the forester of the Vizhaysky forestry I.D. Rempel: “On January 25, 1959, a group of tourists approached me, showed me their route and asked for advice. I told them that in winter it is dangerous to walk along the Ural ridge, since there are large gorges there that you can fall into, and strong winds are raging there. To which they replied: “For us this will be considered first class difficulty.” Then I told them: “First we need to go through it...”

From the materials of the criminal case: “...knowing about the difficult terrain conditions of height “1079”, where the ascent was supposed to be, Dyatlov, as the leader of the group, made a gross mistake, which resulted in the fact that the group began the ascent only at 15.00.”

Literally an hour later it began to get dark. Twilight was brought closer by the onset of snowfall, which found the group on the mountainside. Before sunset there was only time to set up the tent.

Those who have gone on winter hikes know that a cold overnight stay at minus twenty-five is a serious test. Moreover, this was their first overnight stop when they decided not to light the stove.

"At random"

The tourists set up the tent “in a branded way”: they pulled guy ropes onto ski poles. The Dyatlovites had a small tin stove with them, but it was not installed that day, since the roof of the tent sagged and a fire could occur. There were no problems with installation in the forest - the guys are attached to trees, but there are no trees on the mountain. The central part of the tent could have been additionally secured with guy ropes on the skis, but this was not done.

It would be reasonable to try to secure the center of the tent, not even in order to hang the stove, but in order to avoid sagging the tent slopes under the mass of snow. But they didn’t do that either. Already frozen.

REFERENCE:

What was the ridge on which the tourists found themselves? Moving to the top, Dyatlov’s group reached one of the main ridges of the Northern Urals - the so-called watershed. This is where the heaviest snowfall in winter occurs and powerful winds blow.

In a snow sarcophagus

By nightfall, everyone got rid of their wet outerwear and took off their shoes. All except Thibault-Brignolle and Zolotarev. These two remained dressed and shod. Zolotarev, apparently as an experienced tourist and instructor, did not relax. And Thibault-Brignolle was on duty.

With sunset the weather changed a lot. The wind picked up and snow began to fall. Heavy snow stuck to the slopes, stuck around and practically cemented the tent dug into the snow, making a sarcophagus out of it. Due to the lack of a central stretch, the tent sagged under a thick layer of snow. The tent was old, sewn in many places. The accident did not have to wait long. The fragile slopes burst in several places, and under the weight of the snow, the tent collapsed right on top of the tourists. Everything happened quickly, in complete darkness. It became dangerous to be in the tent. The tourists lay covered with an awning under a thick layer of snow. The cold, torn tent did not warm, did not provide warmth. It turned into a source of obvious danger - it threatened to become a common grave. Dyatlov and Krivonischenko, who were at the end of the tent, began to cut the slopes.

Hoping for salvation

Outside, new troubles awaited the tourists. Having got out of the tent, the guys were faced with snowfall of incredible force and density, with wind knocking them down. The emergency situation required a quick decision. The squall literally swept people off their feet, the tent was overwhelmed, and digging snow with bare hands under the icy wind was suicide.

Dyatlov decided to seek salvation in the forest below. We insulated ourselves as best we could. We somehow distributed the things we had taken from the tent. They didn’t get the shoes, they couldn’t. Wind, snow and cold interfered. Rustem Slobodin managed to put on only felt boots.

The wind almost itself drove the Dyatlovites down. The guys tried to walk side by side. However, it is unlikely that in such a situation everyone was able to stay within sight. A terrible cold pierced the tourists, it was difficult to breathe, and even more difficult to think. Most likely, the group broke up. Testimony from one of the search engines, Boris Slobtsov: “...the tracks at first were in a cluster, next to each other, and then they diverged.”

First victim

On the way to the forest, tourists had to overcome several stone ridges. At the third ridge, misfortune befell the most athletic one. It was not possible to walk confidently in the snow - with one foot bare and the other shod with felt boots - especially through the icy stones of the kurumnik. The felt boot slid violently on the smooth surface. Rustem Slobodin lost his balance and fell extremely unsuccessfully, hitting his head hard on a stone. Most likely, the rest of the Dyatlovites, busy overcoming the ridge, did not pay attention to his lag at first. They realized it later, a little later: they started looking for him, screaming, calling.

Having woken up, Rustem Slobodin crawled some distance down before losing consciousness. The injury was very serious - a crack in the skull... He died first, frozen in an unconscious state.

Falls and injuries

Having reached the forest, the Dyatlov group lit a fire near a tall cedar tree, in the only place found in the dark where there was little snow underfoot. However, a fire in the wind is not salvation. It was necessary to find a place to hide. Dyatlov sent the most well-equipped members of the group - Zolotarev, Thibault-Brignolle and Lyuda Dubinina - to search for shelter. The three of them wandered to the edge of the forest, avoiding a ravine at the bottom of which a stream flowed. In the darkness, the guys did not notice how they came to a steep seven-meter cliff and found themselves on a small snow ledge. Such “overhanging banks” near the tributaries of the North Ural rivers are a common occurrence. One has only to step on them in the darkness of the night, and tragedy is inevitable...

The fall from a seven-meter height onto the rocky bottom of the stream did not pass without a trace for all three; they all received multiple injuries, which were later described by a forensic expert: Thibault-Brignolles - a severe head injury, Zolotarev and Dubinina - chest injuries, multiple rib fractures. The boys could no longer move.

Fight for life

Now it is difficult to establish whether Sasha Kolevatov went with them to the place where they fell, or whether he and Igor Dyatlov found the guys later in a helpless state. Be that as it may, he did not abandon his comrades, he helped drag his friends higher along the stream, closer to the fire. Then Dyatlov, Kolevatov and Kolmogorov built a flooring of fir trees in a natural depression. It was very hard work. Everything was done with practically frozen hands, without mittens, without shoes, without warm outerwear. Ideally, it was necessary to move the wounded to the cedar, to the fire. But this was impossible. Between the wounded and the cedar there was a high steep ravine. The only way Sasha Kolevatov, Igor Dyatlov and Zina Kolmogorova could help their comrades was to make a second fire and maintain it. The group split up again. Walking between the fire and the decking was difficult. They were separated by a high snow wall. From the cedar to the flooring there were 70 endless meters.

Yura Doroshenko and Yura Krivonischenko remained to support the fire near the cedar.

Stress Selye

On a windy hillock, near the edge of the forest, where the cedar was located, it was not easy to build a fire. Peeling the skin down to the meat, the guys broke the only material that is flammable in winter - the paws of cedar. The fire was their salvation. However, the fire and the first signs of warmth played a cruel joke on the Yuri. They began to feel sleepy. Anyone who goes on a winter hike knows that sleeping in the cold is death. The guys began to deliberately injure themselves so that the pain would return consciousness, so as not to freeze in unconsciousness. The traces of these injuries will later be described by a forensic expert: burns, bites of the palms, scratches.

Alas, the guys lost in this battle... In psychology there is such a thing as Selye stress. As soon as a freezing person feels the first signs of warmth, he relaxes, and in extreme conditions this is fatal. Especially if there is no one to help. Both Yuri died before everyone else did.

Clothes on corpses

The condition of the wounded on the deck quickly deteriorated. It was difficult to determine who was still alive. Apparently, Dyatlov instructed Kolevatov to maintain the fire near the deck, and he himself decided to go to the first fire. He found Doroshenko and Krivonischenko there already frozen. Apparently, believing that it was necessary to warm the wounded, Dyatlov cut off some of their clothing. Alas, their comrades never came to their senses. Their death left a depressing impression on those who remained.

The last push

Now it is difficult to say who was the first to go looking for the lagging behind Slobodin again - Igor Dyatlov or Zinaida Kolmogorova. Be that as it may, they went in search of him, not wanting to get used to the idea that finding something in this situation was completely unrealistic...

That’s how they were found later - frozen on the slope: Slobodin, Kolmogorova and Dyatlov. Dyatlov froze in a volitional position, not curled up in the fetal position in which frozen people are usually found. Until his last breath, he tried to go forward in search of his comrades.

White Silence

Perhaps, without waiting for Dyatlov, Kolevatov went to the first fire, but found there only an extinguished fire and the dead bodies of Doroshenko and Krivonischenko. Probably at that moment the guy realized that Dyatlov and Zina were also already dead...

Kolevatov wandered back to the flooring where his dead friends lay. He understood perfectly well that there was no longer any chance of survival. It is difficult to imagine the degree of despair of this man.

Subsequently, on May 4, searchers found four corpses eaten by mice at this place. Some had missing eyes, some had missing tongues, some had eaten away cheeks.

P.S.

Before leaving the tent, Dyatlov stuck his skis into the snow as a guide. He hoped to return, but led the group to their deaths. Everything was predetermined in advance: fatigue, an old rotten tent erected at random, lack of firewood and the harsh climate of the Northern Urals. Even now, tourists go to Otorten along the riverbeds of the Lozva tributaries, and not along the dangerous Ural ridge, where only wild cold reigns.

The north of the Sverdlovsk region never ceases to throw up new mysteries. The death of Igor Dyatlov’s group is just the tip of a terrible iceberg. Not only that, people continue to die steadily at the pass (last year - a hermit who wanted to spend the winter in these places, and two weeks ago - a retired tourist who did not calculate his strength).

And now everything is going to the point that the secrets of the Dyatlov Pass date back to the Neolithic era!

Ural amateur researcher Valentin Degtyarev studied Google satellite maps of the Dyatlov Pass. And I saw drawings that are only visible from space. The length is about 10 kilometers, the width is 5 kilometers.

The outlines are carved into the ground right in the middle of the taiga. It’s as if someone painted silhouettes of mountains. And between them there is a gate into which a bird or a meteorite flies,” Degtyarev assures. - The images are located 60 kilometers southeast of the Dyatlov Pass.

An amateur researcher believes that these drawings were made by ancient people 11 thousand years ago. True, Degtyarev was never able to explain to KP journalists why he believes that the images were made specifically during the Neolithic period.

The Mansi people, who lived here long before the Urals, considered this pass sacred. And these drawings, which the Mansi carved into the ground, confirm how much the territory near the pass meant to the ancient people, the researcher adds.

Let us note that in the Urals Valentin Degtyarev is an ambiguous person. When the An-2 plane disappeared near Serov 5 years ago, Degtyarev assured that he heard pleas for help on the radio from passengers who were allegedly attacked by bears. Later, while sitting at home, Valentin discovered the entrance to a Nazi dungeon in Antarctica. Well, now, as young people say, the man decided to “hype” the topic of the Dyatlov Pass.

Not a single geoglyph (a drawing made on the ground using stone masonry - editor's note) would have survived from Neolithic times. It would have been overgrown long ago. And most importantly, no self-respecting archaeologist will make assumptions based on photographs,” says Svetlana Panina, director of the Museum of History and Archeology of the Urals, Sverdlovsk Museum of Local Lore.

Alexander Frolenko, an employee of the Department of History of the Urals of the Sverdlovsk Museum of Local Lore, adds:

I rafted in those places on the river several times. The area there was afforested. It seems to me that this is ordinary deforestation.

Let us remember that the pass became known in early February 1959. She disappeared in the north of the Sverdlovsk region, and then, as it turned out, . What happened at this pass is still unknown. But, despite its notoriety, the mysterious place continues to attract tourists from all over Russia.

Last year, tragedy occurred again at the Dyatlov Pass. In a hut under Mount Otorten, a group of tourists came across the body of an unknown man. Due to a strong snowstorm, security forces and rescuers were able to reach the emergency site only a week after the terrible discovery. Of course, during this time a lot of assumptions and rumors appeared. At some point, relatives of the travelers even stated that the group itself had disappeared. Fortunately, after a couple of days the Urals got in touch. Then the security forces dispelled the last traces of mysticism. The deceased turned out to be the hermit Oleg Borodin, who lived for a long time in that same hut.

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

The Neolithic era monument is found in Sverdlovsk region! Near Mount Dyatlova!. The Neolithic era monument is found in Sverdlovsk region Near Mount Dyatlova Satellite photographs of the oldest geoglyph in the Sverdlovsk region were found.

Near the Dyatlov Pass, giant drawings were found on the ground, said a Ural blogger who studied images from space. According to him, the Stone Age monument is somehow connected with the mysterious disappearance of Dyatlov’s tourist group in 1959. Scientists were skeptical about the “discovery”.

Valentin Degterev calls himself an online journalist. He runs a blog and a YouTube channel. There he collects videos about UFO sightings, prophecies, for example, of Grigory Rasputin, abandoned cities in Antarctica and the appearance of ghosts in apartments. Recently, Valentin looked at satellite images of the Urals and found huge drawings - 5 by 10 kilometers, which supposedly no one had seen before. I am sure that they were created by ancient peoples.

“I can say 90 percent that no one has found it before me, but it’s an accident, just an accident. Where there are satellite images, where the map consists of satellite images, you can look, you can find something interesting there. It’s like journey,” explains blogger and ufologist Valentin Degterev.

Degterev discovered the signs 60 kilometers from the Dyatlov Pass. He is sure that this is no coincidence. To Degterev, the symbols reminded him of either a comet or a large bird.

“There is something mystical about this,” writes the researcher.

In the comments they answer him - what mysticism, these are traces of deforestation. What is it really, they asked the archaeologist.

“These are rivers, not geoglyphs,” says Yuri Kuntsevich, head of the Dyatlov group’s memory fund.

But there really are geoglyphs in the Southern Urals. For example, an image of a giant moose in the Zyuratkul National Park. The time of creation is presumably the sixth or third millennium BC. This is the oldest geoglyph in the world."

And experts believe: The Urals are a poorly explored territory, a blank spot, so it is quite possible to find new images here.

“The Urals are a crossroads of destinies. Many peoples traveled here, and the bulk traveled exclusively along the ridge. The search for new information means that we do not yet know this ancient aspect of this ancient territory,” emphasizes Alexey Slepukhin, an expert on ethnic issues of the peoples of the North.

However, this is not the first time that an online journalist has appeared in the news. In 2012, Valentin Degterev allegedly intercepted a strange radio signal from an An-2 plane that disappeared in the Urals. There were 13 people on board, and nothing was heard from them for almost a year. Investigators seized the recording for verification.

This time it is also a no less sensational statement. Authenticity, of course, raises questions. And yet it is unclear: who is he - a researcher or a person who makes very loud statements, as they say, for the sake of hype?

60 km from the infamous Dyatlov Pass, giant drawings carved into the ground were discovered. It was possible to see them using satellite photographs, Sverdlovsk researcher of paranormal phenomena Valentin Degtyarev reported in his blog.

A video of ancient drawings on satellite images posted on the Internet evoked a lively response from users.

Degtyarev claims that “This amazing Neolithic monument has never been discovered by anyone before.”

The oldest geoglyph is located 60 km in a southeast direction from the Dyatlov Pass. Its length is 10 km, width - 5 km. The drawings are carved into the ground and are not connected in any way. "with geology or logging."

There are several dozen drawings. In his blog, Degtyarev gives the coordinates of several geoglyphs.

In shape they resemble a comet or meteorite and “a big bird, or something that might look like one. Two mountains, between which there is what resembles a gate.” “Perhaps this is a passage somewhere... However, I am not saying anything,”- writes the researcher.

Degtyarev doubts that it will be possible to decipher the drawings, since the ancient Mansi people have already “has long since sunk into history.” But the presence of drawings proves that the land around the Dyatlov Pass was considered sacred long before the first people settled here. And this fact leads the author to mystical thoughts.

Passage or logging?

Internet users immediately responded to the new sensation about the Dyatlov Pass. Some advised Degtyarev to turn to Professor Chudinov, who knows how to decipher drawings and hieroglyphs, others laughed at him, claiming that the drawings were traces of logging.

"Logging. Such artifacts can always be found in the taiga belt, where logging is carried out. But the author will believe until the very end that the authorities are hiding something. Let him continue to believe in himself,”- writes user Baksan.

Was there a bunker?

In August of this year, Valentin Degtyarev announced the discovery of a strange structure near the Dyatlov Pass, similar to a military bunker during the Cold War. The discovery became known thanks to a satellite photograph from 2004, found by a researcher in the Google Earth archive.

“In the area of ​​the Dyatlov Pass, ten kilometers south of the place where the group died, there is an abandoned building. It's very big. Its length is 25–30 meters, width 10–15 meters. This is a fortified structure made of concrete. Apparently covered with sheets of iron with the remains of green protective paint,”- wrote Degtyarev.

According to his calculations, the coordinates of the bunker are 61°40"13"N 59°21"32"E.

However, readers refuted his conclusions based on the photographs. “Sometimes you need to know how to use Google Earth and turn on the display of photos,”- advised user Sergey Panfilov. He explained that “It’s actually just an ordinary rock.”

According to open data on the Internet, Mount Pura Munit Ur, just over 1 km high, has coordinates 61°40"13"N 59°21"32"E. This is the northernmost point of the Kama region.

Dyatlov expedition

The pass received its name after a tourist group died here on the night of February 2, 1959. The group of nine UPI students was led by Igor Dyatlov. The cause of death of the tourists was never established, although more than 100 versions were put forward (including paranormal ones).

As a result, the investigation concluded that “The cause of the death of the tourists was a natural force that the tourists were unable to overcome.”

Satellite photographs of the oldest geoglyph in the Sverdlovsk region, located in the Dyatlov Pass area, were found by Ural researcher Valentin Degtyarev.

“Satellite photographs of the oldest geoglyph in the Sverdlovsk region have been found. The most interesting thing is that this amazing monument of the Neolithic era (I think this is close to the truth) had not been discovered by anyone before. It is located just 60 kilometers southeast of the infamous Dyatlov Pass,” the researcher wrote in his blog.

According to him, the length of the artifact is about 10 kilometers, the width is approximately 5 kilometers.

“All the drawings, and there are dozens of them, are carved into the ground, among the taiga. They have nothing to do with geology or logging. Ancient artists depicted something that can now be interpreted in two ways.

However, they resemble what appears to be a comet or meteorite. There are several dozen of them there. A big bird, or something that might look like one. Two mountains, between which there is what resembles a gate. Perhaps this is a passage somewhere.

However, I am not claiming anything, since we will never know what was recorded in these drawings made by the hands of an ancient people who have long since sunk into history,” Degtyarev noted.

In his opinion, this proves that the area around the Dyatlov Pass was sacred to the Mansi who inhabit these places. “And it became sacred long before the first inhabitant appeared there. So there is something mystical in this,” the researcher concluded.

The pass got its name in memory of Igor Dyatlov’s tourist group, which died here in the winter of 1959. The cause of death of the tourists was never found out; more than 100 versions have been put forward - from an accident to paranormal phenomena and testing of military equipment.
