Dungeons of the planet. Ancient underground cities of the Earth (4 photos)

Mine and emptiness in the earth's crust, cave complexes and man-made tunnels, rock settlements, found throughout the planet, directly or indirectly, but still confirm the existence of underground civilization.

In 1970, the American satellite photographed something strange in the North Pole area. Under the clouds, a strange hole was seen. Snapshot has been subjected to thousands of examinations. Until now, scientists argue that it is for "hole", but there is no unanimous opinion. One of the opinions was the most popular: this "hole" is a hole in the ground leading to the inner world of our planet. Moreover, there is an assumption that this world and today inhabit.

Mention of underground civilization can be found in the myths of different nations. Very often in ancient mythologies there are stories about the existence of some underground civilization, which is very similar in its description on Agarti. In Hindu mythology, this is an underground kingdom where supernatural creatures are living, opposing the heavenly gods. Unlike Hell, this world is described in the form of a finest place, a kind of underground paradise of gold, precious stones.

Supporters and opponents of the existence of underground life are very much. No side has made any serious victory in confirmation of its version.

In 1976, an experiment was conducted: twelve military was placed in the Czechoslovatsky cave, to be able to study the behavior of a group of people in absolute isolation from the outside world. People were a full-fledged life with intellectual and physical sessions. Everything that happened in the cave was listened.

By the end of the fifth month, their underground life began to communicate upstairs, which is constantly talking to them. Scientists, deciding that hearing hallucinations began with the soldier, did not give it any meaning. But very soon, the experimental military began to be part of the conversations about some kind of underground city, which someone suggests them.

For a hundred seventy-third day of the experiment, the soldiers unexpectedly blocked all the wires of power and communications. A group of speleologists and military specialists immediately sent to the cave down, to stop experiment and evacuate people. But descending, they were just amazed. They found only one sergeant who was in the deepest depression. And the remaining participants in the experiment disappeared somewhere. Until today, it remains a mystery that with them the military volunteers crazy and disappeared in the spirit of this old cave in the numerous moves or they really moved to a mentioned underground city ...

For the first time about unknown humanity, the underground people mentioned in 1946. This happened when a scientist, writer and journalist Richard Sheer in the American journal "Amazing stories", dedicated to the whole paranormal, told about his contact with aliens, but not flying from the universe, and with us, underground.

According to him, Shaver was in the underground world among mutants, similar to demons. So they are described by the old legends and the legends of many nations. You can, of course, write off the story about such a "contact" for a ragled imagination of the scientist, it is possible if it were not for one thing ... A hundreds of responses from readers, who not only argued that they were visiting themselves underground cities, communicating with their inhabitants, but also seen such wonders of technology that provide for underground residents of the Earth a very comfortable existence in the depths of her subsoil. Moreover, these technical miracles make it possible to control the consciousness of earthlings to underground residents.

This story, no matter how surprisingly, had very "stormy" consequences, having a huge impact on scientists and giving impetus to study this paranormal phenomenon.

However, the fact that our planet is an empty sphere, argued in their works by an English seventeenth century Edmund Gallow, such writers as Jules Verne, Edgar, and many others. Moreover, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the United States considered the possibility for the equipment of a secret scientific expedition, which would try to find out whether our planet is really a hollow sphere, and as in its subsoil you can penetrate.

Interested in the mysterious underground world and in the third Reich. So, in 1942, under the patronage of Himmler and Gering, and in the situation of tremendous secrecy, this underworld civilization went to look for a very impressive expedition, which included the most advanced scientists of the National Socialist Germany. It was assumed that the "house" of super-crucial ancient peoples is under the island of the rugen in the Baltic Sea.

German scientists seriously expected to place underground fundamentally new radar devices to close to the goal of world domination. It is not known than this adventure ended, but in the second half of the last century, the hypothesis about the underground civilization suddenly began to be confirmed.

In 1963, by two American miners David Fellin and Henry Thorn, a huge door was discovered at the tunnel of the tunnel, followed by their eyes descending down marble stairs. Already in England, just a few years, too, miners who frightened the underground tunnel were recorded from the bottom of the clan and grinding working mechanisms. When the stone thickness was broken, the stairs were revealed again leading to the underground well. At the same time, the noise of working mechanisms immediately increased. The workers were frightened to death, and when they returned to this place with a bench, they could no longer find the entrance, punched in the stone thicker, nor the underground well, nor the stairs.

The studies of the Anthropologist James McKen, who examined the strange cave in the American state of Aydaho, caused a strange cave in the American state of Aydaho, which has unknown glory. McKen and his satellite, passing several hundred meters along a wide cave corridor, unexpectedly caught shouts and moans. But then it was even more interesting. Their gaze soon appeared terrible finds - human skeletons. Unfortunately, further research in the cave, which was considered in these places by the gates to hell, immediately had to stop: many became bad from the smell of sulfur.

A few years ago, the discovery was made in Ufa, which contradicts the traditional idea about the history of mankind. We are talking about the sensational map of Chuwarov. In June 2002 in many means mass media There was a message that in Bashkiria in the abandoned village of Chandar, a very ancient stone plate was found, at which, with the help of technologies available only to highly developed civilizations, a three-dimensional map of the area of \u200b\u200bthe Southern Urals was performed.

Immediately there was a hypothesis that this stove - a fragment is much more than a whole, which is a surround image - the cards of our entire planet Earth. When the mysterious find of Professor of Chuveraova was studied by scientists from the center of historical cartography of the American state of Wisconsin, then a unanimous conclusion was made: it was undoubtedly a map, but what is interesting, it was created for navigation. According to scientists, it is difficult to imagine its use for any other purposes. Card creators, not only our, but also American scientists have the opportunity to fly. Moreover, they flew even in such orbits, which went beyond the planetary atmosphere. The second image layer draws an underground part of the terrain, its underground relief. The opening result was incredible: the map was found in Bashkiria, portraying the land and underground worlds in civilization, many times technologically superior to our.

Geology does not share the theory of cavity within the Earth, but also do not deny the possibility of existence there of huge hollow spaces. It is incredible that people could live there for whom this card was drawn up, because there is a rather high temperature, little oxygen and full of gases incompatible with the possibility of life. All this pushed researchers to the hypothesis that underground civilization may have had extraterrestrial origin.

But here there is a paradox: if our planet is still a hollow, then why the entrance to the underworld is not found. A group of scientists from the United States suggests that underground cities although there are ... but in the fourth dimension. And only when the planet's electromagnetic field changes from time to time, the entrances to the tunnels unexpectedly open on its surface, and at other times they are closed.

Most likely, it is with the aim of fixing the entrance to such underground cities and many cult builds of Stonehenge type have arisen, over the purpose of which scientists still break their heads, precisely for this purpose, and was drawn up a card that found chunks. And if you really tend to the hypothesis that a certain reasonable race lives in the depths of the planet Earth, then many mysterious phenomena find their explanations ...

In many regions of the globe there are ancient facilities, unknown by whom and for what purpose are created. Given the limited technical capabilities of our ancestors, it is simply impossible to believe that they are built by the people of the stone or bronze century.

In Turkey (Cappadocia) found huge complex Underground cities located on several tiers and connected by tunnels. Underground shelters are constructed by an unknown people in time immemorial. Eric von Danikin in the book "In the footsteps of the Almighty" describes this asylum: "... Giant underground cities designed for many thousands of inhabitants were discovered. The most famous of them are under the modern village of Derinkov. The entrances to the underground world are hidden under the houses.

Here and there on the area there are ventilation holes leading far away. The dungeon is cut through the tunnels connecting the rooms. The first on the village of the Derinka floor covers the area of \u200b\u200bfour square kilometers, and the premises of the fifth floor can accommodate ten thousand people. It is estimated that in this underground complex, three hundred thousand people can fit simultaneously.

Only Derinsky's underground structures numbered fifty-two ventilation mines and fifteen thousand inputs. The biggest mine reaches the depth of eighty five meters. The lower part of the city served as a water tank ...

To date, thirty-six underground cities are found in this area. Not all

they have a scale of Caymakley or Derinka, but their plans were carefully designed. People who know this terrain well believe that there are still many underground facilities. Everyone known to date is connected by the tunnels. "

These underground shelters with huge stone valves, warehouses, kitchens and ventilation mines are demonstrated in the documentary film Erika von Danikin "in the footsteps of omnipotent". The author of the film suggested that ancient people hid in them from a certain threat that emanated from heaven.

Sahara Desert. Under its surface, multi-kilometer tunnels are hidden.

In many regions of our planet, there are numerous mysterious underground facilities of the incomprehensible destination for us. The Algerian border (10 ° West longitude and 25 ° north latitude) underground is a whole system of tunnels and underground communications, which are cut down in rock. The height of the main shred 3 meters, width - 4 meters. In some places, the distance between the tunnels is less than 6 meters. The average length of the tunnels is 4.8 kilometers, and their total length (along with the auxiliary gallery) is 1,600 kilometers!

The modern tunnel under the strait of La Mans looks like a children's fun compared to these structures. There is a suggestion that these underground corridors were intended for water supply of deserts of Sahara. But it would be much easier to cut irrigation canals on the ground surface. In addition, in those distant times the climate in this region was wet, the abundant precipitation fell out - and there were no special needs in irrigation.

To break through these moves underground, it was necessary to extract 20 million cubic meters of rock rock - it is many times the volume of all constructed Egyptian pyramids. The work is truly titanic. The construction of underground communications in such a volume with the use of even modern technical means is almost impossible. Scientists also include these underground communications for the fifth millennium BC. er, that is, by the time, when our ancestors have just learned to build primitive huts and use stone tools of labor.

Who then built these graceful tunnels and for what purposes?

In the first half of the XVI century. Francisco Pisarro discovered in Peruvian Andes the entrance to the cave closed by rock blocks. It was located at an altitude of 6770 meters above sea level on Mount Huascaran.

The speleological expedition, organized in 1971, examining the system of tunnel consisting of several levels, discovered hermetic doors, which, despite their massiveness, were easily rotated, opening input. The field of underground strokes is paved by blocks treated in such a way as to eliminate sliding (tunnels leading to the ocean, have a slope of about 14 °). According to various estimates, total length Communications ranges from 88 to 105 kilometers. It is assumed that earlier tunnels led to the island of Guanap, but it is quite difficult to check this hypothesis, because the moves ends with a lake salt of seawater.

In 1965, in, between the cities of Galaquise, San Antonio and Yopi, Argentine Juan Morich found a system of tunnels and ventilation mines with a total length of several hundred kilometers! The entrance to this system looks like a neat cutout in a rock, size from the barn gate. The tunnels have a rectangular section with a changing width and sometimes rotate at right angles. Walls of underground communications are covered with a kind of icing, as if they are processed by some solvent or exposed to high temperatures. Interestingly, the exit did not detect the dumps of rocks from tunnels.

The underground stroke consistently leads to underground platforms and huge chairs located at a depth of 240 meters, with ventilation holes of 70 centimeters width. In the center of one of the living rooms of 110 × 130 meters there is a table and seven tones from an unknown material similar to plastic. There also found a whole gallery of large gold figures depicting animals: elephants, crocodiles, lions, camels, bison, bears, monkeys, wolves, jaguars, crabs, snails and even dinosaurs. Researchers also found the "library" consisting of several thousand metal embossed plates of 45 × 90 centimeters, covered with incomprehensible signs. The priest Father Carlo Crespons, who spent archaeological studies with the permission of the Vatican, argues that all finds made from tunnels "refer to the Doharistian era, and most of the symbols and prehistoric images ancient times of the flood.

In 1972, Eric von Daniken met with Juan Morich and persuaded him to show the ancient tunnels. The researcher agreed, but with one condition - not to photograph underground labyrinths. In his book, Danikin writes:

"... so that we are better understood what is happening, our conductors made us pass the last 40 km on foot. We are very tired; Tropics exhausted us. Finally, we approached the hill having a lot of inlets into the depths of the Earth.

The entrance we selected was almost invisible due to its closing vegetation. In width, he was more railway station. We passed through the tunnel, which had about 40 m in width; Its smooth ceiling did not show any signs of connecting devices.

The entrance to it was located at the foot of the Los Taos Hill, and at least the first 200 m went just down in the direction of the center of the massif. The height of the tunnel was approximately 230 cm, there was a partially covered with a bird litter, a layer of about 80 cm. Metal and stone figures came across the garbage and litter. The floor was composed of treated stone.

We covered our way carbide lamps. No traces of the soot in these caves were not. They said that, according to legend, their inhabitants covered the road with golden mirrors reflecting the sunlight, or the system of collecting light using emeralds. This last decision reminded us the principle of a laser.

Walls are also covered with very well-processed stones. Admiration caused by Machu Picchu buildings decreases when you see this work. The stone is smoothly polished and has straight edges. Ribs are not rounded. The locations of the connection of stones are barely noticeable. Judging by some lying on the floor processed blocks, there was no sediment, because the surrounding walls are finished and fully finished. What is this - the inaccurability of the creators who, having completed the work, left the pieces or they thought to continue their occupation?

The walls are almost completely covered with reliefs of animals - both modern and extinct. Dinosaurs, elephants, jaguars, crocodiles, monkeys, crayfish - all went to the center. We found a carved inscription - a square with rounded corners, with a side of about 12 cm. Groups of geometric figures ranged between two and four units of different lengths that looked placed in vertical and horizontal form. From one to another, this order did not repeat. Is this a number system or a computer program? We remembered the radiosham.

Just in case, the expedition was equipped with an oxygen-based system, but it was not needed. Even today, vertically embedded ventilation channels are well preserved and performed their function. When entering the surface, some of them are covered with covers. It is difficult to find them difficult, only sometimes among the groups of stones is shown a bottomless well.

The ceiling in the tunnel is low, without relief. Externally, it looks like made of coarse treated stone. Nevertheless, he is soft. Can not be! We touched it again - in fact, the feeling did not deceive us. Suddenly began to understand that we are in another atmosphere. The heat and dampness disappeared, making the way easier. We reached the wall from the treated stone, which divided our way. On both sides of the wide tunnel, which we descended, the path to the narrower passage was opened. We switched to one of those who went left. Later we found that another passage led in the same direction. With these passages, we passed about 1200 m, and only in order to find a stone wall that closed our way. Our conductor without effort stretched out his hand to some point, and at the same time two stone doors 35 cm wide opened.

Having dried up, we stopped at the zea of \u200b\u200ba huge cave with dimensions that cannot be determined by the naked eye. One side was about 5 m high. The size of the cave was approximately 110 × 130 m, although its form is not rectangular.

The conductor whistled, and different shadows crossed the "residential room". Poultry flew, butterflies, no one understood where. Opened various tunnels. Our conductor said that this large room always remains clean. Animals are drawn everywhere on the walls and the squares are drawn. Moreover, they all connect to each other.

In the middle of the residential room there was a table and a few chairs. Men sit down, leaning back on the back; But these chairs are for higher growth. They are designed for statues, about 2 m high. At first glance, the table and chairs are made of simple stone. However, if you touch, they will be made of plastic material, almost worn and completely smooth. The table of approximately 3 × 6 m is maintained only by a cylindrical base with a diameter of 77 cm. The thickness of the vertex is about 30 cm. On one side there are five chairs, on the other - six or seven.

If you touch the inside of the table of the table, then the texture and cold of the stone are felt, forcing it to think that it is covered by an unknown material

At first, considering our visit finished, the conductor led us to another hidden door. And again, two sections of the stone opened without effort, giving the entrance to another residential premises, but smaller. It was the mass of shelves with volumes, and in the middle between them a passage, like on a modern bookkeeper. They were also made of some cold material, soft, but with the edges that almost cut the skin. Stone, petrified tree, wood or metal? Hard to understand.

Each such volume was 90 cm high and 45 cm and contained about 400 treated gold pages.

These books have metal covers in 4 mm thick, and they are darker color than the pages themselves. They are not sewn, but fasten somehow differently. The negligence of one of the visitors turned our attention to another detail. He grabbed the open volume, taking one of the metal pages, which, despite the thickness in the lobe of the millimeter, was strong and smooth. A notebook without a cover fell to the floor and when trying to raise it, it frowns like paper.

Each page was engraving, such a jewelry, which seems as if written in ink. Maybe this is an underground storage of some space library?

Pages of these volumes are divided into different squares with rounded corners. Here, it may be much easier to understand these hieroglyphs, abstract symbols, as well as stylized human figures - heads with rays, hands with three, four and five fingers. Among these characters, one is similar to a large carved inscription found in the Museum of the Church of Our Lady in Cong. Probably, it belongs to the gold subjects presumably gone from Los Taos. It has 52 cm long, 14 cm in width and 4 cm deep, with 56 different signs that can be alphabet. Some believe that the text of the book of this library should be read by groups of phrases.

A visit to Cuenki was very important for us, because it was possible to see items put out the father of the cross in the Church of Our Lady, as well as listen to the legends about the local white gods, blond and blue-eyed, from time to time in this country.

In their white tunics, they resemble North American hippies, except bearded people. They are unknown, although it is assumed that they lived in an unknown city near Cuenki. Although the dark-skinned indigenous population believes that they bring happiness, but their mental strength is afraid, since those practiced telepathy and, as they say, can contactless levitate objects. Their average height of 185 cm in women and 190 - in men. They definitely fit the chairs of a large residential room in Los Taos ... ".

Numerous illustrations of amazing underground finds can be seen in the book von Danikin "Gold Gods". When Juan Morich reported on his find, a joint English-Ecuador expedition was organized for the study of tunnels. Her honored adviser Neil Armstrong said about the results obtained: "The signs of human life under the ground were found, and this may be the main worldwide archaeological opening of the century." After that, an interview with information about mysterious dungeons was no longer received, and the area where they are located are now closed to visiting foreigners.

Asylums to protect against cataclysms that have fallen into Earth during its rapprochement with a neutron star, as well as from all sorts of disasters that were accompanied by the wars of the gods, were built on everything globe. Dolmen, which are peculiar stone blocks, blocked by a massive slab and with a small round hole for the entrance, were intended for the same goals as underground structures, that is, served as asylum. These stone buildings are found in different parts of light - India, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, Sicily, England, France, Belgium, Spain, Korea, Siberia, Georgia, Azerbaijan. At the same time, Dolmen, located in different parts of our planet, are surprisingly similar to each other, as if made according to a typical project. According to legends and myths of various nations, they were built by dwarfs, as well as people, but the last buildings were more primitive in the latter, as they used rudely treated stones.

During the construction of these structures, it was sometimes used quenching fluctuations in the interlayer under the foundation that protected dolmen from earthquakes. For example, ancient constructureLocated in Azerbaijan near the village of Gorikidi, has two damping tiers. The Egyptian pyramids also found cameras filled with sand, which served for the same purposes.

A striking and accuracy of fitting massive stone slabs of dolmen. Even with the help of modern technical means, collect dolmen from the finished blocks is very difficult. Here's how A. Fortozov describes in the book "Monuments of primitive art" an attempt to transport one of Dolmen: "In 1960, it was decided to carry out any dolmen from Eshry in Sukhumi - to the courtyard of the Abkhaz Museum. Chose the smallest and led the lifting crane to it. No matter how the loop of the steel cable towards the coating plate, it did not move.

Called the second crane. Two cranes removed the multiple monolith, but it was not able to raise it on the truck. Exactly the roof lay in Esheri, waiting for the mechanism more powerful in Sukhumi. In 1961, with the help of a new mechanism, all stones were immersed on cars. But the main thing was ahead: collect the house again. Reconstruction was carried out only partially. The roof was lowered by four walls, but to deploy it so that their edges come into the grooves on the inner surface of the roof, could not. In antiquity, the slab was driven to each other so close that the knife blade was not seased between them. Now there is a big gap.

Currently, numerous ancient catacombs are found in various regions of the planet, it is unknown when and by whom. There is a suggestion that these underground multi-tier galleries were formed in the process of extracting a stone for the construction of buildings. But why was it to spend the titanic work, hollowing blocks from the steady rocks in narrow underground galleries, when there are the same rock formations nearby, and are located directly on the earth's surface?

The ancient catacombs are found under Paris, in Italy (Rome, Naples), Spain, on Islands Sicily and Malta, in Syracuses, Germany, the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Crimea. The Russian society of speleological research (Rosi) carried out a huge work on the compilation of artificial caves and underground architectural structures on the territory of the former Soviet Union. Currently, information about 2,500 facilities of the catacomb type relating to various era are already collected. The most ancient dungeons are dating 14 millennium BC. E (a stone grave tract in the Zaporizhia region).

Paris Catacombs - a network of winding artificial underground galleries. Their overall length is from 187 to 300 kilometers. The most ancient tunnels existed before the Nativity of Christ. In the Epoch of the Middle Ages (XII century), limestone and gypsum began to be obtained in the catacombs, as a result of this, the network of underground galleries was significantly expanded. Later, the dungeons were used for the burial of the dead. Currently, the remains of about 6 million people are resting near Paris.

The dungeon of Rome may be very ancient. Over the city and its surroundings found more than 40 catacombs cut down in a porous volcanic toufe. The length of galleries, according to the most modest estimates, ranges from 100 to 150 kilometers, and possibly exceeds 500 kilometers. During the Roman Empire, the dungeons were used for the burial of the dead: in the gallery of the catacombs and numerous individual burial chambers there are from 600,000 to 800,000 burials. At the beginning of our era, the churches and chapels of the early Christian communities were located in the catacombs.

About 700 catacombs consisting of tunnels, galleries, caves and secret moves were found in the vicinity of Naples. The most ancient dungeons are dating 4,500 to n. e. Speletologists have discovered water pipes, aquedures and tanks for water, the premises where stocks of products was previously kept. During the Second World War, the catacombs were used as bomb shelter.

One of the attractions of the ancient Maltese culture is considered hypologic - underground shelter of the catacomb type, leaving for several floors in depth. Over the centuries, it was hollowed in a solid granite rock with the help of stone guns. Already in our time, the researchers discovered tens of thousands of human skeletons on the lower yarus of this underground city. The appointment of this building is still a mystery.

Perhaps mysterious underground structures were used by people as shelters from various cataclysms that took place repeatedly. The descriptions of the grandiose battles between aliens that took place in the distant past on our planet are preserved in various sources that occurred in the distant past on our planet.

Incredible facts

Many have heard that people sometimes leave to live in caves, abandoned mines or underground tunnels. In the literature, you can often meet stories about people dungeons. However, underground cities exist not only in novels and films. They are quite real.

Underground cities were built, first of all, to protect against enemies, wild animals, weather conditions, and even to join illegal activities. find out about the most interesting underground cities in the world and interesting factsrelated to them.


1) Secret underground city in Beijing, China

Starting since 1969 and over the next decade by order Mao Tse-Duna In Beijing began to build underground emergency shelter for the government. This refuge stretched under Beijing for distance 30 kilometers. The giant city was built during the Soviet-Chinese split, and his only goal was protect in case of war.

Entrance to the Beijing Underground City


In this underground city there were shops, restaurants, schools, theaters, hairdressers and even roller skating rollers. In the city you could also find about thousands of bomb shelterand he could simultaneously accommodate up to 40 percent Beijing residents in the event of war.

Today, tourists roam the underground streets Beijing


Rumors went that at home in Beijing have secret hatcheswhich allowed residents to quickly descend into this underground complex in case of danger. In 2000, a gigantic underground city was officially opened to visit tourists, and some of his refuge are used as youth housing turbas.


2) Underground City of Putin Yamantau, Russia

Not far from the ski resort "Abzakovo", 60 kilometers from Magnitogorsk, which in the south of the Urals, on some sources is located secret underground city for members of the Russian government. The secret base is covered with many rumors and assumptions, including, they say that this object began to build even during the Cold War.

Ski resort "Abzakovo", Southern Urals, Russia


President Putin visits ski resort "Abzakovo" Quite often, however, questions why this place is attracted to the president, he never answered. Rumored rumors that not at all skis - the main cause of arrival, and construction of a secret underground city on Mount Yamantau.

Mount Yamantau in Bashkortostan


About the city spoke more in the 1990s In the American and other overseas press. Foreign journalists tried to find out at least some details of officials, but their attempts were not crowned with success. It is very likely that the articles themselves were found more on rumorsthan on real facts.


3) underground city near Moscow, Russia

Everyone knows that Moscow is all cut underground tunnels, transitions and buildings of the metroWhich in Soviet times was considered the most beautiful, fast and large metro in the world. Today a lot has changed, but people are still talking about riddles of the underworld near Moscow - series of underground bunkers built in Soviet times, and maybe even earlier.


"Secret Metro" Moscow really exists and is intended, first of all, for military and government members in case of a nuclear war or other dangerous situations. Secret lines connect the main government objects, including the Kremlin, the building of the Ministry of Defense, and so on.

The line of the secret subway, according to some very curious researchers of this issue, no different from the main lines. Why not attach part of these lines to the main branches, given how long the metro is in Moscow? Apparently, there are reasons, and the underground city is waiting for its o'clock.


4) City in the rock of Smetnil de Las Bodegas, Spain

Unlike many other underground cities, this city in Spain lives full life and accommodates about 3 thousand inhabitants. Some houses in this city are not entirely underground, but cut into the rock, which makes urban landscapes particularly unusual. At home as if recessed in stones.


Thanks to such unusual buildings, the town attracts many tourists who come here to see unique home caves. In the distant times of ancient Rome, the city served as a fortress.


5) Cave City Chufut-Kale, Crimea

This cave city, located in the Crimea, was built yet in the Epoch of the Early Middle Ages, And although most of his part turned into ruins, some ancient buildings still remained: caves, daughter's mausoleum Khan Tohtamysh, gate and others.

Entrances to the Underground Housing of the Ghost City Chufut-Kale


Initially in the city lived alans - Iranian-speaking tribes, later moved here polovtsy, but in the 14th century Fixed here karaimi.And by the time of the formation of the Crimean Khanate, most likely they were the main inhabitants. At one time in Chufut-Kale, the Khan independent Crimea was even constantly lived. At the end of the 19th century The city was completely abandoned by residents.


6) Secret basements of Gangster Mus-Joe, Canada

Underground cities were sometimes built at all to protect during military conflicts, and for protection during harsh weather conditions. For example, the city of Mus-Joe in the central part of Canada has a number of tunnels and underground transitions that were built to ensure that the workers can warm up. However, these underground rooms very soon after construction began to be used for illegal purposes.


Mus-Joe tunnels chose criminal Persons, Smuggler and Bandits In times of dry law in the United States. The underground city has become mini Las Vegas and sheltered illegal institutions where casinos and prostitution flourished. They say, Chicago Gangster Al Capone had a relation to these cellars, so they began to call them "Chicago Communication".

Today in the "Chicago Communications" - a museum where there is a weapon room, a wine cellar and many interesting things of the time of Hangsters


7) the mysterious city of the gods in Egypt

Great pyramids Giza - the only one of the wonders ancient Mirawho has come down to us. Many researchers believe that under the plateau Giza is something incredible, namely a series of underground tunnels and cameras.


Starting out since 1978The researchers began to apply the outline of the massive underground complex on the map, which could potentially be a huge underground city.

Famous called "City of the Gods"This city still hides a lot of secrets. Since it is located directly under one of the most important historical monuments in the world, to disturb the integrity of which no one will it is unlikely that these secrets will be able to be easily open in the near future.


The opponents of the theory about the city of the gods are convinced that there is no underground city under the pyramids, and invented the story about him, to attract more tourists.

8) Underground City of Gemstones Coober Pedy, Australia

Couper-Pedy - City that is still inhabited. It is in the deserted part of Central Australia, and in it lives about 1600 inhabitants. The city is considered "Opan's capital"Since there is more than this semi-precious stone, than anywhere on the planet.

Entrance to the dungeon of Coober Pedy: It's hard to imagine that hiding underground


In the city are located underground houses - dugoutswho were diverted to protect themselves from flying Sun. Desert, as well as protect children from wild dogs Dingo and local aborigines.


The opal deposits were first discovered in Couper Pedi in 1915.Since then, these places have burned the hunters for precious stones. If you have a decoration with opal, there are all the chances that this the stone was brought from Australia, More precisely, from the Coober Pedy mines. Underground you can find not only dwellings local residentsBut also restaurants, shops and even church and cemetery!

9) Island city with underground restaurants KISH, Iran

In the dungeon cishe in Iran The mysterious city is hiding, which is so covered by the secret that he does not even have an official name. Some people call this city CarizHowever, tourists often refer to his underground city of Kish. Underground rooms have a total area of \u200b\u200babout 10 thousand square meters.


This dungeon is more than 2.5 thousand years old and it was originally used as reservoir and water supply system. Like many other ancient cities, this city has been updated and turned into a tourist object. Today you can find cozy underground restaurants, shops and other institutions.


10) Underground Bunker Berlington, England

The secret underground city is also in England, he got a name Berlington. This city was built in the 1950s For the British government, so that you can hide in the case of a nuclear war. The dungeon is not very large - just a thousand square meters, but they could fit freely about 4 thousand people.


There were underground routes, railway stations, hospitals and even underground lake for storing drinking water. A BBC station was also located in the city so that the Prime Minister could contact those who stayed at the top. Burlington is in a state of readiness until 1991, after which the Cold War was finished.

Dungeon of the world

This is how carefully, we should formulate the topic of this chapter, because everyone knows that no one will overtake the immense.

"The capital of our Motherland, Moscow"

The year of the foundation of the city is considered to be 1147, when Prince Yuri Dolgoruky killed the local boyar Stepan a bunch and captured his estate. Since then, Moscow has repeatedly destroyed enemies and rebuilt again. Wooden houses were replaced by stone on durable foundations in the land. The defensive function was performed by monasteries with underground strokes. Usually the beginning of the creation of the network of these moves is referred to the XV century. The underground labyrinths of the Kremlin, Borovitsky Hill and China-Cities, Simonov, Donskoy, Miracle and other monasteries were found to be discovered.

Not far from the Metro Station "China-City" still preserved the John the Forestry Women's Monastery, founded in the XV century. This monastery had a sad reputation: there they were forcibly tightened by women of noble origin - so korestolobovy relatives captured their shares inheritance. In 1610, the former Queen Maria Petrovna Shuiskaya, which was raped with her husband to the King of Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky forcibly separated here. In 1620, Inokine Parashev died - in the world of Pelagia Mikhailovna - the second wife of the Senior Son of Ivan Grozny. Here there was a mysterious definition - "Real Princess Tarakanova" and the evil landowner Saltychikha, the sadistic killing of fortress beauties.

In this monastery, under the guise of madmen, they brought out of the random order of women of criminals and political criminals. From the split office, the office of the old rite was delivered here, who did not want to renounce their faith. Some contained in the "stone bags" under strict supervision, while others skillfully paid even nuns into their faith. Such were the whip of Akulina Lupkin and Agafya Karpov, who organized the "God's house" in their cells to wander the whips. Akulin died by his death, and Agafy was executed in 1743.

There are also legends about the dungeons of the Novodevichy Monastery in Khamovniki. These are mainly crypts, some of which are found and investigated by scientists. Straighing the imagination of a terrible legend about the last magnitude of the monastery of Leonid Lake, who did not wish to give the Bolsheviks the church wealth accumulated by the centuries and the treasures departed along with the treasures. Some say that Leonid died, the protection of sacred objects for her, others - that she only hid them, and herself went through underground move And disappeared. And it is quite likely, since some of those values \u200b\u200blater discovered in private collections.

It must be recognized that the legends about Moscow dungeons are much more than their divorid. Interesting the question of the underground course under Moscow-River. With Tsar, Alexei Mikhailovich Master Azancheev, several attempts were made to break through him. Twice unfinished starming, the documents were silent about the future, but it is known that the nobility was granted Azancheev. On this basis, many conclude that this course was built. Persistent rumors about secret travels under the estate of Tsaritsyno (in her quite real extensive basements now exhibition halls), about the Masonry dungeons of the Menshikoy Tower, about the roadmobile quarries ...

In the "Kropotkinskaya" area, there is a terrible drawing, which received the name from the creek, who flowed there, where the alley of the Sivans enemy. In the afternoon, the stream was poured, but when the water fell, on the shores of the stream, there were bumps and Colds, as if the damn fish.

A good yard was located in this area: stood torture huts, incapsis, scaffolds with fees. Diggers argue that deeply underground poured emptiness, moves and galleries - the remains of terrible prisons Ivan the Terrible.

You can find a statement, they say, from the basement of any house within the Garden Ring you can get anywhere, even in the Moscow metro. Indeed, the basements of old houses, especially church and manor sites, often have inspired passages, if the leading. It sometimes and the buildings are no longer there, and the dungeons with the moves are preserved, and stubborn diggers manage to do it.

Back in 1912, the newspapers wrote about the foundation of underground strokes in the Bogoslovsky Lane, on the Big Dmitrovka, under the house of the princes of Yusupovy in the Red Gate, between Novodevichy Monastery And Manufactory of Gubner, under the Don Monastery, Golitsyn hospital and an obscure garden ...

A man who listed the life for the study of the mysterious underground world of Moscow, called Ignatius Yakovlevich Stelletsky.

He was born in 1878 in the Yekaterinoslav province in the teacher's family. After graduating from the Kiev Theological Academy, left to work as a teacher in Palestine - the edge of "thousands of caves". There, Stelletsky was carried away by archeology and, returning to Moscow, organized a commission on the study of underground antiquity and became its chairman. He collected legends, legends, rumors, evidence of eyewitnesses and, relying on them, led research. They were found underground moves from the Round Tower of the Keylown Wall, from the Tainytskaya Tower of Simonov Monastery and the Cremlin Town Tower, a white-mounted move from the corner of the Kremlin's Arsenal Tower, voids in the depths of the Borovitsky Hill, near Nikolskaya, Trinity, Spasskaya and a terrible Beklemish Tower, in a basement prison of which The tongue was once pulled by Beklemishev.

The work of his whole life was the search for the legendary library of Ivan the Terrible - a collection of books brought from Konstantinople by the grandfather of the Tsar - the Byzantine Property Sophia Paleolog. The scientist believed that books were hidden somewhere in one of the numerous dungeons of the Kremlin or very close to him. Stelletsky died in 1949, and not finding his Liber. He was buried on the Vagankovsky cemetery, but the grave was not preserved. His library died, and numerous records. The main work of the scientist "Dead Books in the Moscow Tiley" saw the light only in 1993.

Excavations in the Kremlin were conducted and later, but their results did not advertise. In 1978, at the Greater Kremlin Palace, during the digging of the trench, the underground room was digging at about nine square meters with brick arches, where the human skeleton lay. In the early 1980s, a 40-meter tunnel crashed, the walls of which were decorated with multicolor tiles.

In 1989, in place, where one of the churches of the blown miracle of the monastery had previously risen, discovered an ancient crypt. A wax doll was lying in the Stone Sarcophage to human growth, dressed in a military uniform. It was the burial of the Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, who died in 1905 when bombing abandoned by Kalyaev. Since the body remained from the body, the sarcophagus was laid out a doll, dressed in Mundir Sergei Alexandrovich, and the remains were collected in the vessel and put in the head of the head.

« Everywhere and everywhere dungeons and people are given in a state if not complete, then very large destruction. The Kremlin did not escape the common fate, and therefore it is impossible to evolve themselves the thought that it is enough to open one move and it is easy to go through all the Kremlin, if not under all of Moscow. In fact, the journey through underground Moscow is a jump with obstacles, more consistent, the elimination of which will require great efforts, time and means. But all this is nothing in comparison with the possible ideal result: purified, restored and illuminated by arc lamps underground Moscow would be an underground museum of scientific and any interest ..."(I. Stelletsky)

Now the dream of Stelletsky came true: there is such a museum! This is the Museum of Moscow Archeology at Manezh Square. It is underground at the depth of seven meters on the site of archaeological excavations of the nineties. The most remarkable part of the exposure is the supports of the ancient Resurrection Bridge through the unborn time of Ivan the Terrible. In addition, the museum is presented interesting artifactsderived by archaeologists: the objects of medieval life and weapons of Muscovites, the collection of tiles, valuable items from unclaimed treasures, the objects of the cult of necropolis of the Moiseevsky monastery.

Maps and descriptions of underground Moscow began to be from the end of the XVIII century. What is documented is mostly wells, the beds of rivers and streams cleaned in pipes, sewer collectors, that is, pure utilitarian structures.

There was a lot about the underground Moscow told a lot of famous life-fostener Vladimir Gilyarovsky. The subject of its research was underground kabaki and the doors, as well as the River River Neglinki. These places were dirty in all respects, but Neglynka could generally be considered a Moscow analogue of the Roman Cloac.

The first attempts to build sewerage in Moscow were taken back in the XIV century: then for the descent of the unclean was a breakthrough channel from the Kremlin to the ill-fated uncle.

The townspeople relied to drain the uncleans to cesspools, from where they were trapped by golden-assesenizers and exported far from the city. But it was necessary to pay golden women, so the unconscious citizens then it was a matter of the way to divert garbage somewhere away from the eyes or to break through the house of Khannels to tend all the dirt into the nearby river. Thus, the Neglinka and Samotek were completely ruined and the Yauza and Moscow River are pretty: to avoid chasing, small rivers had to overheat in crops and remove under the ground.

In 1874, the "design drawing of the sewerage of Moscow" were presented to the Moscow City Duma, which were long discussed for a long time, but were not approved. The gasket of the sewage network began only twenty years later, with the city's head, Nicolae Alekseev, a man of cycling activities and a big mind. Since then, the sewage is constantly being built and expanded, and today its total length is equal to the distance from Moscow to Novosibirsk. More information about the history of the Moscow sewage will be told in the water museum in Krutitsa, located in the building of the ancient pumping station.

Museum visitors to the collector will not be behavior, but Gilyarovsky went down there and left us a bright description of what is underground. Finding two brave-walled, uncle Gilyay was climbing into the falsion of Moscow Cloacu through the hatch near the pipeline. The underground direction was clogged with mud, and "Something gliding all the time under the feet." What it was, Gilyarovsky was even afraid of thought, because once he himself witnessed how in the dirty and smelly waters, Neglinki tried to lose another living, albeit a stunned man. "I say correctly: we go to people," confirmed his fears. A couple of years later, when clearing the bed, bones were found, "similar to human".

These unfortunate could leave, rob and kill in one of the underground kabaks, located immediately, near the modern pipe area. "... deep in the ground, under the whole house between the rheevechka and the colored boulevard sat the fatal basement floor, the whole robber busy in one restaurant, the most desperate robbing place, where the criminal world was entertained ..." Upper, the "parade" part of this kabac was called the hell, and Lower - underworld. The police did not look here, there were no bypass, but they would have never been anywhere: under the house there were underground moves left from the Mytishchi water supply, which was still located in Ekaterininsky times, the above-ground parts of which (Rostokin Aqueduct and Alekseevskaya Vodokka) are considered known Moscow attractions.

« The history of the first attempt on Alexander II on April 4, 1866 is connected with the Hell Tractor. There were meetings here, at which the attack plan was developed on the king ... The organizer and soul mug was the student of Ishutin, who was standing at the head of the group, leaning in the house of Meshchanka Ipatovaya for a large Savior Lane, in a register row. By the name of the house, this group was called Ipathovans. There was also a thought about the rearness, unknown to other members of the "Organization" ... Among them were Karakozov, unsuccessfully shot in the king" (V. Gilyarovsky)

In the direction of the challink and the old collectors love to travel Moscow Diggers. Sometimes excursions are held for the most safe place For extremals with good health and strong nerves.

Those who wish to avoid extremes can also come in touch with the old Moscow sewage system, and at the same time they do not even have to pay.

At the intersection of Pokrovka and Chistopure Boulevard there is a profitable home of a blessing age F.S. Rachmanov, built at the very end of the XIX century. On the side, behind the distance - a long and very cool staircase, leading deeply underground, in the oldest toilet in Moscow.

This is the only preserved and still acting out of ten "retrade", opened at the same time with the laying of the first stage of the Moscow sewage.

Other dungeons of Moscow are open to visitors, in the past secret. Bunker-42 on Taganka, located at a depth of 60 meters underground, began to be built at the beginning of the fifties and worked for 20 years. There are always 300-500 people, the system of regeneration and air purification, sewage and other amenities worked. The maximum hopper capacity is 3000 people for three months. In the 80s, the bunker was abandoned, then redeemed by the commercial organization and turned into an excellent attraction. Preserved tunnels with semicircular ceilings, a tummy, bosses, tsilers, simple employees, conference room. All premises are very simple, without frills. One of the walls can hear how the subway train is passing by passing - yes, the usual Moscow metro, which also had to serve as a refuge in the event of war.

More luxurious Izmailovsky bunker. It was intended for Stalin himself and for the highest leadership of the country. Its area is huge - 93 thousand square meters. m, underground troops could hide and, according to some, even tanks.

Part of this bunker serves as a museum. In the round room for meetings, magnificent acoustics: a person standing in the center of the hall can be spent in a whisper, and the sound will be distributed around the room. It is believed that empty clay vessels were mounted to achieve this effect in the ceiling. So it was done because the aging Stalin physically could not speak loudly. In his office there is a massive writing desk covered with green cloth, armchair, shelves for books. In other premises - showcases with exhibits of forties.

Another part of the bunker, under the former Cherkizovsky market, abandoned. Not so long ago the scandal broke out: it turned out that the old bomb shelter was turned into an illegal cheap hotel, or rather in the teston. Soon the Cherkizovsky market was destroyed.

Legends claim that the tunnel was conducted from the Izmailovsky bunker, which was last used during the storming of the White House and was blown up.

Another bunker, smaller size and not so deep, is on the VVC. It is located right in the building of the friendship of the Peoples. It is argued that this structure was also created for Stalin, but, by archival reference, no one took advantage of the bunker. It seems from the bunker leads an underground stroke, which ends under Lenin sculpture in front of the pavilion. That is why the sculpture has not yet been removed.

Capacity of the bunker - 300 people. There are relaxing rooms, an extensive pantry, air filtration room, as well as an office for the Secretary-General. The equipment allowed people to be underground for two days. Until 1971, the reserves of provisions and water were regularly replenished in the bunker.

This "museum" is under the protection of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and to bring it to a state of readiness required 6 hours.

The Supreme Commander has placed another bunker, equipped in 1942 near the "neighboring cottages" in Kuntsevo at a depth of 15-17 meters. Missed journalists there several times, despite the fact that the bunker is still secret. Underground rooms are in excellent condition, they are reliable and comfortable. It leads there an ordinary inconspicuous door, which one can meet in any entrance. The spacious office was preserved, separated by oak and Karelian Birch, in which Joseph Stalin conducted meetings of the Defense Council. Near his bedroom is a very small room where there is only a bed and a bedside table. Also underground there was its own kitchen, a dining room and even a small diesel power plant. According to rumors, this bunker leads one of the metro-2 lines.

The myths and other underground bunkers are complicated: in the Kremlin itself and on Lubyanka. The most mysterious and "promoted" of them is the metro station "Soviet", located under Tver Square. Nobody managed to go there, journalists do not let go there, but nevertheless no one denies its existence. It is believed that its official name is "Object Go on Tverskaya Square."

They argue that there is the same "object object" under the Station "Clean Ponds" (former "Kirovskaya"), where the general headquarters were located during the war. Proves the existence of a whole underground city near Ramenskoye, designed for thousands of people. Allegedly there is a straight branch of the secret subway from the station "Library to them. Lenin ", and in the event of the beginning of the atomic war, the intellectual elite of the country was to descend from library halls to the secret station and go to the bomb shelter.

Still in Moscow there is one underground museum, completely devoid of an ominous flue. It is located on the forest street under the sign "Wholesale trade of Caucasian fruit kalandadze". Official name Museum - "Underground Type Photo 1905-1906". In this income house, more than a hundred years ago there was a regular revolutionary typography, and the store served as a cover. This museum is very small - two rooms, a kitchen and a basement, but quite interesting. The interiors of the premises are fully restored and well illustrate the living conditions and life of a poor Muscovites, and they lived, we must admit, modestly and closely, according to modern concepts - juts.

Under the store's warehouse in the basement of the house, a well was pulled out for the flow of groundwater, and in his side wall, a breakdown of another small cave, where the Portable Picture Machine "American" was stood. The store was opened in the name of Miriana Kalandadze - a port loader from Batumi, who had experience in trading and "clean" reputation. No business was actually conducted, the store was unprofitable: from the Caucasus fruits were brought irregularly, so if the police had decided to figure out the trade affairs of Kalandadze, everything would quickly float out. However, the underground typography acted very successfully - the police did not manage to discover it, despite the fact that the police part was literally located nearby, on the opposite side of the street, and near the house was the city's post. After working for a year, the printing house was eliminated, and the shop-cover closed. The museum at this place was opened in 1924, and its organizers became the most revolutionaries-typographs that once released a newspaper here.

Moscow region

Underground defensive moves and "caches" - Each of the fortified cities surrounded by Moscow had underground secret passes to the sources of water: Yaroslavl, Rostov Great, Suzdal, Tver, Kaluga, Rzhev, Mozjysk, Vereya, Volokolamsk, Peremyshl, Tarusa, Kashira, Aleksin; Josepho Volokolamsky, Nikolo-Berlukovsky and Simonov Monasteries in the Moscow region.

Chernihiv Skete is located three kilometers to the northeast of Trinity-Sergiye Lavra, which is in Sergiev Posad, on the northern coast of the East Bay of the Upper Korbushinsky Pond. On the contrary, on the southern shore, there are buildings of the former Gefsema Skita, which preserved much worse.

In the past in official documents, Chernigov Skit was called "The Cave Department of the Gefsema Skitt". His beginning of the legend belongs to 1847, when the Yurodny Philippushka, adopted by Metropolitan Filaret for Residence in Lavra, began to dig a cave there. In fact, two years before that in the grove on the north shore of the Bay, wooden celi was built, in one of which filipushka was probably settled.

In the description of the Gefseimsky Skita for 1899, it is said: "... Philip with its employees began to dig a small square pit, which he subsequently began to expand, make underground corridors from her and in them separate small cave clas; The average largest selection of cave assembly for general prayer. From 1849 to 1851, the adjacent laurels of farms, carpenters, a bricklayer, who turned the average cave in a well-maintained chapel, which represented a broken log house, which was blurred into the ground, with windows cut into its top, speaking from the ground of the part. Underground strokes that were turned into different directions were transformed into lossessed underground corridors with bricks with the same vaulted small cave on the sides. In the fall of 1851, the cave chapel was consecrated as the temple in the name of the forces of obsolete.

By the end of the XIX century, these caves were significantly expanded, and terrestrial churches were built over them, first wooden, and at the end of the XIX century - stone. The skete turned into a rather extensive complex in ancient Russian style. At the same time, the former average Phillip cave turned into an altar, to which the extensive underground metering with a vaulted overlapping is increeding from the West. The southern part is returned to the monastery, in the North boarding school for children-Physicians. Excursions are held in the cave church.

With the recently had a restoration site in the New Jerusalem Men's Monastery, three underground strokes were discovered, unfortunately, already collapsed. They diverge from the monastery in different directions and at different distances. Due to the risk of collapses and mountains of garbage inside, they failed to end them. Low movements that are clearly intended for emergencies, and not for everyday life. Only their inputs are available for inspection.

Russian landlords sometimes got underground strokes in their homes. Usually, these moves were laid at a small depth and had long collapsed or were deliberately covered.

Sviblovo's manor on Jauza changed a lot of owners: from Fedor Schvibli - Dmitry Donskoy Governor to the merchant Ivan Kozhevnikova, which built a closure factory on the other bank. However, he was here not the first industrialist: for another one hundred years before this, the companion of Peter I Cyril Naryshkin built a brick house here, the church, a malteniated plant and cook. Which of the owners paved the underground move from the estate until the shores of Jousy, it is difficult to say, especially since not so long ago, when repairing the estate, he was loose.

The existence of the stroke in Sviblovo is documented, but in many cases we are forced to be content only with rumors.

In the village of Avdotino, the Stupinsky district preserved some buildings of an old manor, in the XVIII century, who belonged to the well-known educator-Mason Nikolay Novikov. He created the first private printing house in Russia and the anger of Empress Catherine II caused his courageous satirs. The sovereign can be understood: she was frightened by the terrible events of the French revolution. According to her order, Novikov was arrested and without a court transmitted to the Shlisselburg fortress. Freedom was given to Paul I, but the degraded health and state of Novikov lived for a long time.

Traditions are preserved about the secret moves and underground halls for Masonic assembly proceeded in Avdotino. One moves as if led to the next Trinity-Lobanovo, belonging to Volkonsky. These moves were looking for a long time, but did not find it.

Many legends about the underground trades are connected with the preserved estate in the village of Voronovo, standing on the old Kaluga road. It is believed that the first move was a breakthrough from the main boric house to the stone church built in 1709. At the end of the XVIII century, General Artemy Vorontsov built a luxury palace in the manor with an equestrian yard and broke a park with picturesque stone arbors. A new tunnel was punched from the palace to the equestrian yard, which could pass the horse, held secret gallery to arbors and other buildings.

But in 1812, it was all burned: the next owner, Moscow Governor Governor Rostopchin, sang his home himself, so that he did not get Napoleon. This is evidenced by several eyewitnesses, and the Napoleonic General noted in the diary, which he discovered in Crow only a ash region and pinned a note to the gate: "I set up my palace that I was worth a million ..."

However, the act of the count caused no admiration from compatriots, but horror: too many values \u200b\u200bwere vainly destroyed. In addition, the owners of the estates, victims of Napoleon, could claim some compensation from the Russian government, and Rostopchin, who smeared their palace himself, clearly did not fall into this category. Then the general began to unlock and argue that his home did not burn himself, but the enemy. But he did not believe, besides, rumors crawled out that the count was not so injured at all, as he tries to prove, and that his treasures were prudently demolished in the dungeon and hid it until the best times. The count of accusations denied and demonstratively in Voronovo did not return.

After a hundred years, the story repeated: the last owner of Voronov - Countess Sheremetyeva, frightened by the events of the February revolution, left the estate without baggage. But the Bolsheviks did not find particularly valuable things in the estate. Where did they go?

When excavations on the territory of the estate, the researchers discovered several wide tunnels barrier to slaughter. In these underground stals, some valuable items were found, mainly metal. The hopes for the fact that they will ever find paintings ever, have long been evaporated: the canvas would not have survived two hundred years in underground dampness.

120 kilometers from Moscow, in the city of Aleksandrov, there was a country palace of Ivan Grozny. Here, tourists will tell about the nrules and customs of the king. About how he was married eight times, and unloved wives sent to the monasteries or killed. As fed fish in a pond with corpses of his enemies, and what kind of fat and tasty there was a fish served to the royal table. We will show underground chamsis, where tortured unfortunate prisoners, and others, more peaceful, but also underground rooms, where edible supplies stored. The terrible man's persecution, suffering from the mania, and even the royal security wakes were equipped underground. Tourists show these rooms: carved beds, carpets, embroidered bedspreads and no windows.

On the shores of the Pahra River there is an extensive system of caves, both natural and artificial. Nikitsky quarries and large group Novlensky caves, among which are called Syanovsky Camera, Kisseli, Novo-Syanovsky, Pioneer and others. The length of the underground labyrinth is very large, and there is an opinion that some of the caves were dug in the days of ancient Russia for the mining of limestone.

On weekends, there are dozens and even hundreds of people attend. The entrance to the dungeon is nusted by a feline eye. Kamelomolomen's moves and halls are also assigned original names: Meltnik, Shuchka, Venus Laz - a woman with a good figure perfectly fits into it.

At the entrance to the quarry there is a notebook - a journal of visits, where we certainly need to be noted, going down, and then secondly, leaving the caves. Under the ground it is strictly forbidden to silence and even more to dry fires. Lanterns should be directed down, and not in the face of connoisseurs.

Nikitan quarries - another system of caves of a huge length found in the mid-fifties. Currently, part of the caves is equipped for excursions. In the system, a plurality of halls and transitions with setting names: wet galleries, hedgehog, chicken and dumplomous; The coupon hall, a drunken drummer lake, a shogal well ... Some caves are considered an abnormal zone.

ST. PETERSBURG

Despite the fact that Petersburg is a city in a swamp, its oldest underground move - almost the same age in the city itself. He was a breakthrough in the Sovereign Bastion Petropavlovsk Fortress At the beginning of the XVIII century, when restructuring the original tremble fortress in Stone and is located in the thickness of the slope outer wall for safe movement The garrison of the fortress from the left flank of bastion to the right.

It is a tunnel of 97 meters long and about two width. Brick walls and vaults were not painted and plastered. 25 ambrazur were made in the outer wall, in the XIX century, when repairing the wall, they were laid.

The fortress for defense goals was never used, so the underground course served as a warehouse, and then it was completely covered with him, finding only the fifties of the 20th century in the fiftieth years when laying the heatingrass.

The restoration is lost and the caasemap with which it is connected, has become the gift of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg. Now the underground move is open to visit.

Another move was arranged in the Trubetsky bastion of the Petropavlovsk fortress, but he also fell asleep and still did not dug.

There are other historical dungeons in St. Petersburg. Under the area of \u200b\u200bLabor (Blagoveshchenskaya Square) there is an underground part of Kryukov Canal, hidden in the collector in the early 1840s. This underground tunnel with granite walls and brick arches was considered one of the most sinister St. Petersburg slums and was described in the novel name of the Vsevolod of the Cross: there were hid and hid bad bandits. The authorities took action, and in the 1870s, the entrance to the canal from the Neva was closed with a grille and loose.

However, in the spring of 1912, the ground was liked in the square, and then a huge pit was formed at all - these were crushing Channels. After breaking the rusty lattice already, the engineers sailed on a raft along the smelly underground waters and found that the design completely dilapidated. Then the canal fell asleep completely and forgot about him. Only in the 1990s, when it was built on the labor area underground pass, the builders came across the remains of a stone arch. A unique relic has retained by making a part of the design of the modern transition.

This endages a list of studied and studied dungeons of the Northern Capital. In most underground rooms there are only Digger enthusiasts. So the shuvalovsky park was gloomy than in 1988, two teenagers were poured into the dungeon under the mountain Parnass, and only one of them was saved. According to Digger statements, there is an extensive system of dungeons under the park. Whether this is the secret moves of the former owner of these places of Masonia Count Schivalov, whether the time of the first and second world wars are strengthened, it is difficult to say: after the tragic incident, they did not become, but they simply poured the inputs in soil.

They say, under Alexander Nevsky Lavra there is a whole labyrinth of small rooms connected by narrow transitions. Probably, initially they served a monastery prison, and later were abandoned. Now they are partially flooded with the waters of the monastery river, and the inputs in them are closed for safety. Diggers were still penetrated into the dungeon of Lavra through one of the crypts at the Nikolsky cemetery and found weapons and grenades of the Civil War.

Mikhailovsky Castle was built in less than three years on the site of the Summer Palace Elizabeth Petrovna at a special order of Paul I. For forty days, the castle was considered the residence of the emperor. Paul was very careful about his security, so he wanted to surround the water from all sides. For this, artificial channels were specifically proof, and lifting bridges are thrown through them. According to the legend, in case of a sudden flight from the castle, several underground strokes were sent out of the castle, which the emperor could use in case of danger. But he did not have time to do this, but on the contrary: according to one of the versions, it was through the underground move to the Mikhailovsky castle that the conspirators who killed Paul were penetrated.

In the next summer garden, too, there seems to eat underground moves, diverted by order of Peter I. For a long time it was believed that they were long killed, but during restoration work Summer Garden After the flood of 1924 near the coffee house, they found an entrance to a deep dungeon, from which there was a high and quite wide tunnel with brick walls. He led to a small vaulted room, from which moves in the direction of Marsov fields and on the opposite side of the Fontanka River. It was not possible to go through it: in a dozen meters, the path was blocked by strong iron grilles. The tunnels were viewed, described and ... Fucking. Since then, they cannot be detected.

After the start of the First World War, an angry crowd stormed the German embassy and arranged in it in it. However, from the staff suffered only the gatekeeper who did not leave his post, the rest simply did not turn out to be in the building: some unknown way they managed to escape. Then information about the existence of an underground course between the German embassy and the neighboring hotel "Astoria" came up, because both buildings built the same company. Nicholas II solved the problem of wisely, the commandments to confiscate the hotel and the adjacent plot in favor of the treasury.

It is said that under the Smolny there is an old bunker, able to withstand even atomic bombing. During Patriotic War He served as a command item. Under the forest of the Forestry Academy, a bunker was also built in the war, and now it is flooded, as well as most of all bomb shelter times of war.

Researcher enthusiasts argue that there are underground strokes in almost all central regions of St. Petersburg. The entrances to the catacombs were seen in the 30s on the street. Zodki Rossi, at pl. Ostrovsky, on the fountain embankment. It is possible that there are several yaruses of underground facilities in the area of \u200b\u200bSennaya Square. These connecting and intersecting basements stretch from Nevsky Prospekt to Lermontovsky. According to rumors there is an underground move in one of the houses on the fountain, which belonged to once Plato Zuben. This house is famous for its "Rotonda" - an entrance with six columns and a spiral staircase. Legends say that underground moves and caches are under the Palace of Menshikov, it is believed that the Fair Favorite hid his unpretentious wealth there.

Lithuanian Avenue for a long time was a cluster of thieves Malin and Totton. There was a whole complex of underground facilities: basements, cellars, underground kabaks and brothels connected by secret transitions. Unfortunately, they investigate these places in the main diggers, and not scientists. There are many interesting finds - Pathetones, porcelain figurines, thieves tool ... Some hoped to find the legendary treasures of Lenka Panteleeva.

There is a legend that the FSB building on Foundry Avenue has multi-storey basements with terrible torture cameras, boxing for medical experiments and even a public home for employees. But it is unlikely: the Neva is too close.

The atmosphere of these half-philanthic and undiluted dungeons recreates the "Horror of St. Petersburg" museum, which is actually located on the surface. But another museum is "the world of water of St. Petersburg" - partially underground. He tells about the history of the water supply and sewering of St. Petersburg and causes delight in children and great interest in adults.

Neighborhood of St. Petersburg

Gatchina Palace Catherine II built up as a gift to his favorite Gregory Orlov, but then their relationship has undergone changes, and Orlov was forbidden to approach St. Petersburg, and Gatchina Catherine bought and presented to his son, the future Emperor Paul I. With his name, the tradition connects the creation of an underground movement of Gatchina Palace, although the documents say others: the underground move was built simultaneously with the Palace himself.

There is a version that Alexander Fedorovich Kerensky took advantage of this underground passage, flewing in 1917 from sailors.

He really mentioned in the memoirs that the servant of the palace appeared to him and pointed out that he knew the secret, not a well-known underground move, which was entering the park behind the walls of this fortress palace. But judging by his later words, he himself hastily fled in some other way, and several of his people came to the underground move.

It is possible to go down in the underground course of 130 meters long, right from the frontal halls on the second floor. In the wall of the front door, there is a secret door on a dark narrow screw staircase, leading to the lower floor in the emperor toilet room, and then into palace basements.

The secret this move was not, on the contrary, the course and cellars of the palace were used to enjoy the guests. Thanks to the good acoustics, Echo repeats up to four syllables, and visitors of the Gatchina Palace have entertained by special "crochets". Because of this, the exit from the tunnel on the shore of the silver lake was called the grotto echo. The most famous of the vintage "cribers" - "What flower is not afraid of frost?! - Rose! "," What was the first Virgo called?! - Eva! "," Who stole the clamps?! - You!". Guides say that once long ago, horse harness was hung on the walls of the tunnel, and then for some reason it was removed. Little great princess, for some reason slainly slaughtered there and, seeing the emptiness on the walls, exclaimed inapprage: "Who stole the clamps?" "You! .. You! .. You! .." - responded echo.

Popular with tourists Question: "Who are we rules?! - Paul!" It is said that the name of the ill-fated emperor echo repeats up to 30 times!

However, it is not worth abuse of patience of underground echo - it is possible to wake the ghost of Pavel I, in the memories of the Chief Guardian of the Palace, when in the middle of the twenties, walking with her friend in the middle of the twenties, walking with her friend, she looked at the grotto and loudly shouted the name Paul. In response from darkness, it rang out: "Died!" Girls were horrified, they did not come to mind that someone could make someone.

According to unverified information, there is another underground move, which joined the Gatchina Palace with Prioratsky. During the strengthening of the foundation of the Palace, the restorers really stumbled upon the underground course leading in the direction of water bodies, but were able to go through it only about a hundred meters.

On the River Oredige, the village of Christmas Gatchina region, near the Siveon Canyon, are a holy cave and holy source. The terrain there is very beautiful: the ripples, hills, huge boulders, clean sources, beautiful forests, blooming glade ... In these places there are often fossils of the Paleozoic era. The cave, nicknamed saint, apparently, from ancient times served as a religious place. In the XV century there was a temple over her. It has long disappeared, but so far underground waters sometimes take out the cross, chains, coins on the surface. A lot of legends are associated with this cave: they say that a whole network of underground tunnels diverges from it. Many notice in it a strange glow or human figures. Such caves in the Leningrad region are not uncommon. In the village of Zaruchye, the village of Zaruchye, on the shore of the river, the foot of the Mountain has a nun cave. Once the church was erected over the cave, but she was blown up. The cave semi-plane itself and you can only pass it for fifteen meters.

But the dungeon of Peterhof is absolutely not mysterious, although very interesting. There is a tour of the "Secrets of Peterhof Fountains" - tourists are driven by dark, ominous species of underground drive-aqueduct, where the intricate mechanics of famous fountains are located and their unique self-electrical water supply system. Tourists show workers' gallery under grottoes of a large cascade, cameras under the fetas "favorite" and "basket", include "water road" for them. And the fountain-cracker "Sofa" to visitors allow themselves to include and turn off, watering water to the walking upstairs. Special engines regulate the height of fountain jets.

There is in Peterhof and the legendary undelivered dungeon - this is an underground stroke under an alder pond. It is said that one of his exit is located on the island, where there is a cottage for friends of Nicholas I, and the other - in the basements of the Bolshoi Peterhof Cathedral.

40 kilometers from St. Petersburg is the place of Sablino, in the vicinity of which plenty of attractions: two waterfalls, the ancient mounds, the place of parking Alexander Nevsky before the battle with the Swedes, the former estate of Count AK. Tolstoy, as well as more than ten caves. The largest of them is the "left bank" - only for organized groups of visitors: the total length of its moves is five and a half kilometers, and the "wild" tourist can easily get lost. The entrance to it is close to the bridge across the Tosna River. In the cave there are three underground lakes, pretty deep and extensive, several large beautiful halls with unusual names - double-eyed, cosmic, column, anniversary, red hat and others. The walls of the caves consist of white and red sandstone, and vaults are partly from greenish limestone. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the floor is covered with spherical formations - "cave pearls." Those who wish to rinse their nerves can squeeze through the cat Laz. You can only do it lying, pressing your hands to the body. Even in the summer on this tour you need to dress with warming: there are always +8 degrees in the cave.

In the Sablin caves winter hundreds of volatile mice. This is the largest population in the area. It is impossible to touch them or even illuminate the bright light, since the mouse awakened in the winter dies from hunger.

In 2005, on the day of St. Nicholas, the Wonderworker in the left-bank cave is consecrated by a chapel. She serves to perpetuate the memory of the dead travelers - geographers, geologists, polar shoes, speleologists, climbers who gave their lives in the name of the ministry of science.

The Taitsky Waterwood is a self-supplying water supply system of the Tsarist village, built in 1773-1787 under the leadership of the Military engineer of Baura, the same, which was built by the first Mytishchi water supply in Moscow.

The Taitsky waterway consisted of open (about five kilometers) and underground (slightly less than four kilometers) channels with cumulative ponds and grottoes. Water came from Hannibal or Sonin Keys. Initially, he was wooden, and twenty years later he was rebuilt in stone. This water supply system supplied with water the entire population of the Tsarist village, Sofia and Pavlovsk, the Palace itself and all the park fountains until 1905, when they launched a new Oryol water supply. By that time, the condition of the waterway was already critical, and soon he was in order at all. Currently, you can see only individual fragments.

In the city of Vsevolozhsk, the development of roads on Ladoga lake And the koltushi rumbolovskaya mountain. The monument to her, decorated with oak and laure, was built in front of it, decorated with the leaves of oak and laure: "Road of Life" began.

Lovers of underground travel assure that the entire Rumba Mountain is exhausted by moves created in time immemorial times. They lead quite far away, connecting with Koltushi quarries located in good ten kilometers from Vsevolozhsk. Their center is a deep and wide well in the so-called red castle on the top of the mountain - a medieval building, which has become the basis for the estate of Vsevolozhsk. The manor has long burned down, and the ancient walls are still standing. According to local legends, the Red Castle with extensive basements was erected by order of the outstanding Swedish commander Pontus Duchadi, who participated in the Livonian War.

The Demidov Manor is located on the territory of the village of Nikolskiy Gatchina District on the banks of the Syvorki River. At the beginning of the 20th century, the manor bought the Petersburg zemstum for the device in it of a psychoneurological hospital. The founder of the hospital was an outstanding psychiatrist Peter Petrovich Kashchenko. Hospital acts in the manor and now. During a recent repair, a network of underground strokes between the estate flies was discovered. They are laid at a small depth and therefore came into complete dissent.

Vyborg is 130 kilometers to the north-west of St. Petersburg. Vyborg castle was founded by the Swedes in 1293. In the XIII century, his sentiment tower was considered the highest donjon in Scandinavia of that time. The thickness of the fortress walls was one and a half or two meters, and the thickness of the walls of the tower is four meters. Novgorodians have repeatedly made attempts to take the castle with storm, but unsuccessfully.

In the XV century, the governor of the Swedish king spent a lot of time and effort to decorate the fortress so that she would be the subject of his pride. In the middle of the next century, the famous Queen of Christina and the King Gustav Vase were here. In those days, the Vyborg Castle was considered impregnable, majestic. He served the Swedes for another fifteen years, and in 1710 after a long siege finally surrendered to the Russian. From the second half of the XVIII century, the castle began to use as a prison and the room for the placement of the garrison. Here, in particular, they contained some Decembrists. At the end of the XIX century, the castle was repaired and significantly reconstructed, while retaining only the external medieval facade. In this form, the castle reached the present day.

In the castle there is an underground move toward the river - Matveeva Yama in the early 1560s. At the beginning of the 20th century, attempts were made to explore it, but in the thirtieth stroke. Part it is used under the pipeline.

147 kilometers from St. Petersburg is the Ivangorod and the fortress of the same name. In 1492, a small fortress for protection against Livons and Swedes was laid in the radiation of the Narva River on the hill in front of the Livonian Castle, but only four years later she was captured by the Swedes. After beating the fortress, the Russians were repaired, expanded, and by the beginning of the XVI century, Ivangorod became a powerful fortification. On the contrary, on the other side of the river Narva, Livonians built their fortress - Narva, or otherwise the Castle of Herman (in this case, Herman is not a man, but the most high tower Fortress).

Ivangorod participated many times in hostilities, passed from hand to hand, he was exploded, then they rejected again. So now, as in the old days, the border with Estonia passes along the river Narva, and in the fortress there is a borderline regime. Opposite Ivangorodskaya, the castle of Hermann is still smoking.

From ancient times to us preserved mysterious tunnelsMove Europe from Scotland to Turkey. More than 1,200 of them were found in Germany and Austria, Bavaria. Even in Central France, clusters were found.

These tunnels have intriguing parallels on the routes of Irish and Scottish monks, which in the 6th century traveled along the continent as missionaries and were known for their inappropriate behavior.

German Archaeologist Heinrich Kushch, who actively participated in the expedition, declares that the tunnels were found in hundreds of neolithic settlements on the entire continent. According to him, the fact that these labyrinths were not destroyed for 12,000 years, testifying their enormous initial size.

According to him, most of these labyrinths on the size of a little wider than large mobboards. That is, the size is quite sufficient to crawl a person, but nothing more. True, in some places, narrow passages have small indents, more similar to living rooms, or storage cameras, or rooms. The labyrinths are not always and not everywhere leading up, but together they are taken to make up a massive underground network.

Builders of such tunnels were used spiral design, requiring pre-design pattern on Earth. It may be, therefore, four types of labyrinths are isolated now - queen, horseshoe, concentrically circular and round-pharmaceutical ones. It is known that in the center of each horseshoe labyrinth there is a stone pyramid.

Which names were not given to all tunnels - dismissal and maiden dances, roads of Giakanov and Nineve, the Games of St. Peter and the fall of Jerusalem. People always wanted to reveal the mystery of these mysterious structures and therefore came up with the options for their appearance.


Some thought, and they believe that the labyrinth network was a way to protect people from the beast, others are highways intended for a safe journey away from wars, violence and weather over the ground. The third suggests that criminals kept in the dungeons before. The fourth say that the labyrinths were a place where patients could get rid of suffering. However, if this is so, they should have been discovered, at least some, the remains of people. They are not here.

And maybe the right most people who generally associate tunnels with various legends and myths about druids, demons, evil gnomes, kobolds, faoney and other undead? However, this version is very real. On the Lake Bodensky near the city of Lindau, a sand plate was found with the image of a goblin with a tail. And, if we assume that the ancient people drew only what they saw ...


In addition, the ancient discovered writings testified that these labyrinths should be treated as the ways to hell, the doors of which are opening only to people who know special spells and the exact time of the entrance to the entrance, or those who found themselves near the entrance at the moment the doors open . Only Obelchka could get into the country of eternal youth, where the gods lived.

That's just whether the gods were residents underground labyrinth? Or it was just residents of other worlds, such as gnomes, elves, goblins and others. That is, those who were afraid and confused, communicating with which they avoided by all their might. And who lived separately from people in their own laws. They also never wanted to be interfering in human affairs, like a person in their.

By the way, there is another version. Scientists were looking for various labor tools in these labyrinths, but, in vain - they were empty. They do not have bone rest, nor burials, there is nothing that could help solve their secrecy. In the center of the labyrinths there is either an absolute nude article, untouched alert, stone black mounds, put on the rib of boulders and dolmen boxes. It seems that nature itself created all these inexplicable moves.

That's just here there is a small discrepancy. First, remember, at the beginning of the article, they spoke about the strange parallel of the tunnels on the path of monarchs, so if the tunnels were created by nature, such would not be. Well, the nature will not follow the kings (with their children), it's just some kind of absurd.

Another mystery of the labyrinths is the presence of their exact location on the coins made in ancient Crete. On the one hand, there is nothing special, because the word "labyrinth" itself has penetrated to us through the ancient Greek myth about the Minotaur. Probably, everyone heard about this being, to which the ancient Greeks sacrifice their daughters. Until then, while the next to visit the monster did not go down the withes for his ariad and did not beat him, freeing his country from the shameful Dani.

No one knew how the Cretan Labyrinth looked until A. Evans went to the expedition. Starting the excavation in Crete, the archaeologist discovered a huge palace from hundreds of premises. It was decided that this is the mysterious housing of Minotaur. After all, it really didn't get lost anything, but everything else is the fiction of poets. But later it turned out that the Greeks were understood under the "labyrinth" it was the labyrinth, which means that this building was intended for something else.


What is interesting, the double spiral on Crete coins exactly corresponds to the pattern of stone labyrinths deposited on the northern cliffs. Only where did people take this spiral and that they wanted to transfer this pattern? After all, nothing like this is not in Greece, nor at the very Crete! All the attempts of archaeologists find out something ended in failure.

The first small step towards the discovery of the Nordic labyrinths was made by the archaeologist of vinogradov during his stay in imprisonment in the Solovetsky Islands. He, bypassing all the surroundings of the terrain, drew all the meetings of labyrinths, separate stones and tombs. As it turned out, they are all interconnected. She disassembled one stone bunch, but she did not find anything. Also, as nothing else and another archaeologist, A.Ya. Bruce.

But still, at this time, there was a bold assumption that labyrinths - sanctiors, extraordinary huge altars left the oldest unknown people of the world. And they are connected with the otherworldly world where the dead are dominated. It was on the spirals that the souls of the dead were to be lost among labyrinths and not return back. That is, the labyrinth opened the souls of dead people the road to the world of others.

This theory was necessary to prove the presence of the funeral remains of those people who went to their last journey through the labyrinth. And you know, such remains unexpectedly found the archaeologist A.A. Kuratov. He discovered the burnt human bone and, next to her, the remains of quartz in one of the rings of the labyrinth. The Nakhodka archaeologist confirmed that heaps of the stone near the labyrinth there is nothing but an ancient burial. This confirmed the location of the tunnels next to the parking lots of the ancient people.


It would seem that all, the mystery of the labyrinths can be considered permitted. But it was not there. Next to other tunnels, located near Europe, there were no stone heaps, which means there was no burial. It was difficult to call them and the entrance to the kingdom of the dead, since most labyrinths were far from any settlements. It would be possible to call these labyrinth by altars, but also this version refutes the length of labyrinths. Why are the ancient people need such long tunnels, and also located in different places?

It is curious the fact that maze in European countries appeared at the end of 2 millennia almost at the same time. It is also interesting that on many rocks on the shore of the White Sea ancient people left various rock paintings that illuminating their lives and methods of extracting food. But nowhere ... no image of labyrinths. Maybe they were forbidden to draw? And if it is so, why?

Do not think that the first studies of labyrinth will reveal their mystery. We cannot answer which of them are more ancient, and which are simply imitative. But this is important. In modern or primitive magic lies the principle of imitation to any event.

In the Celtic mythology there is a city (island) Avalon, the inhabitants of which are fairies. The city's gates open only favorites. And, most likely, it was he who became the principle of the name of the labyrinths "Babylon". At the same time, the name of the city in translated means "apple". We remember about the Molding Apple, the story about which also originated from Celtic legends. We add the shape of stone labyrinths here, very similar to the cut of the apple, and everything turns out to be interconnected.

As a result, doubts are disappeared in the chance of coincidence: stone labyrinths are somewhat pointers for the proximity of other measurements and spaces. And maybe they themselves are unknown for us by the "communication channels" of the Universe, the existence of which we began to suspect only now.
