STALIN PRIZE FOR THE CLUE
This riddle is over a hundred years old. June 30 (June 17 O.S.), 1908 in Siberia, in the basin of the Podkamennaya Tunguska River, north of the village of Vanavara, an event of a global scale occurred. There were flights of fireballs, powerful air explosions, ground shaking, etc. Judging by the publications in the newspapers, initially there were three versions of the phenomenon: a meteorite, ball lightning (or a whole series of them) and an earthquake. The death of people was not recorded and therefore soon the details of the event began to be forgotten, which was facilitated by the subsequent world and civil wars.
In the 1920s, interest in the Tunguska phenomenon arose. The initiator and leader of the first serious expeditions to Tunguska, the ascetic of science Leonid Alekseevich Kulik, conducted a large amount of research. He found a grandiose radial fall of the forest with trees standing without bark and branches in the center of the fall. Many of them were burned. It seemed that only a space alien could have the energy necessary for this. Therefore, at that time, the meteorite version of the phenomenon prevailed.
Leonid Kulik, the first explorer of the Tunguska meteorite. Please note that on the calendar - June 30, the date of the event
There was a swamp in the center of the forest fall. Kulik suggested that this is the meteorite crater. But neither Kulik nor his followers succeeded in finding at least a small piece of meteorite substance. The war and the death of Kulik suspended field research.
The results of pre-war research were summarized by Kulik's student and member of his expeditions, Yevgeny Leonidovich Krinov, who published the book The Tunguska Meteorite in 1949, which was awarded the Stalin Prize in 1952. True, many circumstances did not fit into the official picture of events, but here they acted simply - such circumstances were explained by the illiteracy of the witnesses and excluded from consideration, and invented ones were added instead, for example, only one celestial body flew and it had a smoky tail.
The meteorite hypothesis of the Tunguska explosion acquired the status of ultimate truth in the USSR. Millions of Soviet people were introduced to this truth through encyclopedias and school textbooks.
In the 1950s, it was possible to start expeditionary work at a new stage. K. Florensky, N. Vasiliev, G. Plekhanov and other famous scientists made great efforts to study the Tunguska problem. A lot of factual material was collected, and it was also established that the explosion was airborne and hardly anything reached the earth's surface. It followed from this that the term "meteorite" has nothing to do with this phenomenon (a meteorite is a cosmic body that fell to the earth's surface). Then it was suggested that it was not a meteorite, but the nucleus of an icy comet, evaporated from aerodynamic heating in the atmosphere. But no decisive success was achieved in this direction either.
Hundreds of other hypotheses appeared, but none of them corresponded to the whole complex of circumstances.
So what happens? All versions of the Tunguska phenomenon contradict one or another of its characteristics. Maybe it's worth returning to the original state, when, apart from the meteorite possible option the causes of the phenomenon were considered to be ball lightning (or a whole series of them) and an earthquake? On this path, the idea of the Moscow physicist Andrey Olkhovatov turned out to be fruitful. He substantiated that the root cause of the Tunguska event was indeed an earthquake.
MIRACLES UNDER VANAVARA
The circumstances of this event in modern publications are described distortedly due to the influence of the hypothesis of the Tunguska meteorite. Therefore, these circumstances will have to be stated anew and as objectively as possible.
So, not far from the village of Vanavara, in the area where ancient volcanic pipes are located, a catastrophe happened. Within a radius of more than 600 km from the center of the event, the earth began to shake and tremble. Seismic waves of this phenomenon were recorded by seismographs in Tashkent, Tbilisi, Jena (Germany).
The seismograph of the Irkutsk meteorological observatory at 7:17 local time registered the beginning of the earthquake, which was assigned the number 1536. There were several major underground shocks. The earthquake was accompanied by air explosions of such power that the sound was heard within a radius of up to 1200 km, and the instruments recorded that the air wave went around the globe twice.
A few minutes after a series of explosions, a perturbation of the Earth's magnetic field was recorded, lasting about four hours. Anomalous celestial phenomena began before June 30. On the middle Volga on June 17-19 it was observed Northern Lights. Since June 21, in many places in Europe and Western Siberia, the sky was full of bright colored dawns. On the night of June 30 to July 1 from Siberia to Western Europe Night had almost never fallen, and silvery clouds shone brightly in the sky. By July 4, the celestial anomalies were largely over.
Numerous frightened witnesses on the morning of June 30 in the southern part of Central Siberia observed the flight of fireballs. Each observer saw one ball, but the direction of its movement was different in different areas - mainly towards the epicenter of the phenomenon.
Many saw in the sky wide multi-colored moving stripes or fiery pillars and circles, after the disappearance of which explosions began. Others heard a great noise and rumble in the absence of wind.
In the taiga, trees were knocked down in a circle with a radius of 30 km and the vegetation cover was burned. The energy of an air burst, estimated from this radial fall of trees, is estimated at 10-40 megatons of TNT (1000 Hiroshima bombs).
Russian newspapers wrote about this phenomenon in the following way:
"On the morning of June 17, at the beginning of the 9th morning, we observed some unusual natural phenomenon. In the village of N-Karelinsky ... the peasants saw in the northwest, quite high above the horizon, some extremely strong (it was impossible look) a body shining with a white bluish light, moving for 10 minutes from top to bottom. The body was presented in the form of a "pipe", i.e. cylindrical. The sky was cloudless, only not high above the horizon, in the same direction in which the luminous body was observed, a small dark cloud was noticeable. It was hot, dry. Approaching the ground (forest), the shiny body seemed to blur, in its place an enormous puff of black smoke formed and an extremely strong knock (not thunder) was heard, as if from large falling stones or all the buildings were trembling, all the inhabitants of the village ran into the street in panic fear, the women were crying, everyone thought that the end of the world was coming... Xia, according to the testimony of some, is horizontal, and according to the testimony of others, it is very oblique ... The phenomenon has aroused a lot of rumors, Some say that this is a huge meteorite, others that it is ball lightning (or a whole series of them). (Newspaper "Siberia" / Irkutsk / July 2 old style / 1908).
“In Kansk, Yenisei province, on June 17 at 9 o'clock in the morning there was an earthquake. An underground strike followed, Doors, windows, lamps near the icons - everything swayed. There was a rumble like a distant cannon shot. After 5-7 minutes, a second blow followed, stronger than the first, accompanied by the same rumble. A minute later, another blow, but weaker than the first two. (Newspaper "Voice of Tomsk" dated July 15, old style, 1908).
At the same time, the inhabitants of Vanavara (65 km from the epicenter) saw a dazzling ball in the northern part of the sky, which seemed brighter than the sun. He turned into a pillar of fire. The ground swayed underfoot, and there was a roar, repeated many times, like thunder. Buildings trembled, causing panic among the population.
Local resident Semyon Semyonov said: “Suddenly, in the north, the sky split in two (i.e., a strip appeared in the sky), and a fire appeared in it wide and high above the forest, which engulfed the entire northern part sky. At that moment, I felt so hot, as if my shirt was on fire. I wanted to tear and throw off my shirt, but the sky slammed shut (i.e. the strip disappeared), and a strong blow was heard. I was thrown three fathoms off the porch. After the blow, there was such a knock, as if stones were falling from the sky or firing from cannons, the earth trembled, and when I lay on the ground, I pressed my head, fearing that the stones would not break my head. At that moment, when the sky opened up, a hot wind swept from the north, like from a cannon, which left traces in the form of paths on the ground. Then it turned out that many panes in the windows were broken, and an iron tab for the door lock was broken near the barn.
But what happened near the epicenter. When the aftershocks arose, the brothers Chuchancha and Chekaren were sleeping in their tent. Suddenly there was a whistle and the sound of falling trees. Immediately, a strong thunderclap struck and the wind struck, knocking down the chum. From under the fallen plague, one of the brothers saw lightning over the mountain and immediately heard a strong thunder. When the brothers got out, the third lightning struck in another part of the sky. Again thunder and wind knocked them off their feet. Everything was on fire and trees were falling. A fourth lightning flashed overhead. There was also a fifth, but already somewhere on the sidelines. Ulkigo, who lived in those parts, had other impressions. He woke up in a plague from the fact that dogs suddenly howled and children began to cry. After some time, the earth shook, the tent began to sway, and the sounds of shooting were heard. When Ulkigo jumped out of the tent, he saw how thunder flashed and thundered in the cloudless sky. Trees fell, forests and grass burned. There was a lot of smoke and it got hot. Other old-timers noted that water spouted from under the ground (this lasted for several days), the water in the lake went around, there was a smell of sulfur, a swamp formed at the site of the explosion, peat was torn out of the ground in places and lay nearby in an inverted state.
We note the characteristic features of this phenomenon:
1) moving in the sky were observed different direction luminous objects (balls, pillars, cylinders), as well as multi-colored stripes and circles; 2) the beginning of the earthquake preceded the beginning of air explosions;
3) a powerful heat flow was noted, burning people and trees;
4) repeated air bursts were associated with lightning;
5) the main phase of the phenomenon lasted more than 10 minutes;
6) the phenomenon was preceded and followed by celestial anomalies over Eurasia.
RADIATION FROM THE BODY
American researchers from Denver in the laboratory found that a granite cube under high pressure begins to create electromagnetic radiation and electrical potentials arise on its faces. From this it is clear that a flow of electromagnetic radiation should come from the bowels, the constant component of which is determined by the huge static pressure, and the variable - by tectonic dynamic non-stationary processes (fracturing, faults, shifts). This stream reaches the surface of the planet and permeates the entire atmosphere, up to the ionosphere. Back in 1979, it was found that when flying over the source of strong earthquakes, the instruments of the Interkosmos-19 satellite recorded bursts of electromagnetic noise. Moreover, ionospheric disturbances began several hours before the earthquake. At all unusual phenomena before and during an earthquake are recorded at all levels of the atmosphere and on the surface of the Earth.
During the earthquake in China in 1976 (a record for the number of deaths), 5 hours before the first impacts, the night sky lit up for 20 minutes, as if it were daytime. And in half an hour, a powerful flash of intermittent light (first red, then silver-blue, and finally dazzling white color) gave the impression of an atomic explosion. Many white and red lights were visible for hundreds of kilometers. After the earthquake, in some areas, the leaves of trees and garden plants were burned.
In 1999, during the earthquake in Turkey, round and triangular lights were lit in the sky for 5-20 minutes, the colors were white, yellow, red and blue. Just before the earthquake sea water warmed up and began to glow red, although there are no underwater volcanoes in this place.
Based on the analysis of satellite images, American and Indian scientists found that over the focus of a future earthquake in Indian Ocean 2004, bright green spots appeared in the water column, which disappeared after detente earth's crust. This phytoplankton, due to the heating of the water, multiplied intensively in those areas of the ocean where tension increased.
VORTEX HOSTILE
When the flow of electromagnetic radiation overcomes local inhomogeneities of the rock mass or when the active point of crack formation moves, vortices can appear in this flow. The diversity of the structure of the lithosphere and the processes of rupture of the constituent rocks during tectonic activity generates a huge variety of forms of electromagnetic flows and vortices that enter the atmosphere during underground storms.
A powerful whirlwind can cause air ionization and the formation of a plasmoid in the form of a body of revolution, the shape of which is completely determined by the structure of the whirlwind. Most often it is a ball, but the shape of a disk, cylinder, toroid (donut) is possible. So the fiery toroid was observed in October 2009 over the Volokolamsk highway.
The formation of a plasma body by a vortex creates a nonlinearity and dispersion of the medium, which is a condition for the existence of a vortex in the form of a bulk soliton, which significantly prolongs its existence. This is precisely what ball lightning is, whose life can end when the conditions for the existence of a soliton are violated by a smooth disappearance or explosion.
Vortices born in the depths and forming a plasmoid in the atmosphere are in principle no different from ball lightning, born of thunderstorm activity and received scientific recognition only a century and a half ago. English professor B. Goodlet at one time observed how ball lightning the size of an orange flew into a 16-liter barrel of water and brought the water to a boil. This made it possible to determine that the energy density contained in lightning is approximately equal to 5 million joules per liter of its volume. In other cases, explosions of small fireballs destroyed furnaces and killed people.
Now we need to calculate the size of the fiery cylinder observed during the Tunguska diva. The village of Nizhnekarelinskoye is located 460 km from the epicenter. In order to observe a cylinder glowing in the sky on the horizon from such a distance, it is necessary that, under normal refraction of the atmosphere, it be at an altitude of about 15 km. The peasants saw this object at the beginning of the phenomenon "high above the horizon." If we estimate this “high” at an angle of 6 degrees (12 apparent diameters of the Sun), then the initial position of the object is at an altitude of about 60 km.
Within 10 minutes, the object descended to the horizon (i.e., to a height of 15 km), where the explosions began. And what was the size of the luminous object? Peasants saw it as a vertically oriented cylinder. The resolution of the human eye is of the order of one minute of arc, which makes it possible to observe a 100-meter object with one point at a distance of 460 km. But the Lower Karelians saw it not in the form of a dot or a stroke, but in the form of a cylinder. To do this, you need to observe several dozen resolution elements.
Scientists believe that the source of radiation, taken for the "Tunguska meteorite", could be in the depths
Let's assume that 2 resolution elements fit in the diameter of the cylinder, and 10 in height. Then the diameter of the cylinder should have been at least 200 m, and the height - 1000 m. The volume of such a cylinder will be 30 million cubic meters. Taking into account the known energy density in ball lightning, the total energy of the Tunguska cylinder will be more than 10 to the 17th power of joules, which corresponds to the TNT equivalent of 20 megatons. That is how much energy is needed to fell the forest within a radius of 30 km.
By the way, we note that the total energy of electromagnetic radiation during an earthquake is most likely of the same order as the energy of the seismic processes of this earthquake. Therefore, it can be argued that the Tunguska earthquake had a magnitude of about 8.
SPACE BODIES AND NIKOLA TESLA HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH
In 1996, a publication appeared in the USA that the Tunguska meteorite was a man-made phenomenon, and its author could be Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), the founder of modern electric power industry. Near New York, he built a laboratory with a 300 kW power plant and a 60 m high Wardenclyffe tower, ending in a twenty-meter sphere. A barrel was pierced under the turret, in which high-frequency vibrators were installed.
On the night of June 15, 1903, the sky lit up not only over Long Island, where Tesla's tower stood, but also over part of the Atlantic Ocean. Cords of electric discharges rushed from the top of the structure into the sky, a mysterious glow emanated from people. Thanks to the resonance, Tesla was able to excite the powerful natural sources of energy contained in the ionosphere and lithosphere of the planet.
But in 1905, Tesla suddenly left the laboratory without even taking the paper. As his biographers write, he never returned here. It is very likely that he understood the likelihood of the planet moving out of a stationary state with catastrophic consequences for it. Maybe he remembered leaving a vibrator unattended in his New York laboratory a few years ago, connected to the frame of the building. The frequency of the vibrator coincided with the resonant frequency of the building. After a while, the building began to sway, involving neighboring buildings in this process. Tesla had to smash the vibrator with a hammer. If he didn't, the building would collapse. He told the cops and firefighters that it was a natural earthquake. They believed the lies of an authoritative scientist.
Maybe the biographers are wrong and after 3 years Tesla secretly returned to the laboratory on Long Island? But in order to participate in the Tunguska phenomenon, he would have to launch his power plant, which requires a centner of coal per hour, and with the help of a tower to excite the earth's ionosphere and lithosphere. It is hard to imagine that he threw coal into the furnace and at the same time switched electrical circuits. So he needed assistants fired three years ago. Therefore, it was hardly possible to keep the chief's return a secret.
The work of the tower, as you know, was accompanied by a glow of the sky and lightning cords. The glow of the sky at 8 pm New York time could be overlooked, but the lightning certainly could not go unnoticed.
And finally, the most important thing. If Tesla had been told that he was being blamed for the Tunguska disaster, he would have been very surprised. Indeed, in order to purposefully send huge energy somewhere, one Vordencliff tower is not enough. To do this, he was going to build five similar towers in different places on the Earth (Amsterdam, China and close to the poles), but this project was not implemented due to lack of funding and the developer lost interest in it.
Thus, neither cosmic bodies nor Tesla personally are involved in the phenomenon. As a result, it turns out that the Tunguska miracle is an earthly natural phenomenon.
Each powerful earthquake is unique and Tunguska is unique in its own way. Earthquake No. 1536 with a magnitude of about 8 was accompanied by the release of electromagnetic radiation from the depths into the atmosphere, which formed ball lightning with a total energy of 20 megatons, which ended their existence with explosions. The formation of such record-breaking lightning is explained by the presence of pipes of an ancient volcano in the earthquake source, which focused the electromagnetic radiation of the bowels properly. First, an earthquake began, and then - explosions of ball lightning. The glow of the sky before the earthquake was caused by a large-scale increase in voltage in the lithosphere and the corresponding emission of electromagnetic radiation fluxes that excited the ionosphere. After the earthquake, it quickly declined. And what kind of balls were flying in the sky? So they usually fly during many earthquakes. There were several balls of different colors on Tunguska and they flew in several directions, and not randomly, but over local activated tectonic faults.
TOTAL
The above explanation, unlike all other known hypotheses, corresponds to absolutely ALL objective circumstances of the phenomenon and does not contradict any of them. This confirms the truth of the explanation. Thus, the secret of the Tunguska phenomenon is fully revealed. But this does not mean that it should not be studied further. On the contrary, the disclosure of the secret makes it possible to concentrate the efforts of many researchers in the direction of studying the processes taking place on our planet called Earth.
Megaliths of Podkamennaya Tunguska.
Podkamennaya Tunguska is one of the three large rivers flowing into the Yenisei. Known for the so-called Tunguska phenomenon of 1908, when a monstrous explosion occurred in the basin of this river northwest of the Evenk village of Vanavara, which had catastrophic consequences for all living things. The fact that there are megalithic remnants in the channel of the Podkamennaya Tunguska is known only to local residents, and the workers of the Central Siberian Reserve, around whom it was created. It is not surprising, since big earth very few people get here; who are looking for unique photo and video material, others simply raft through the whole of Evenkia in order to at least temporarily throw off the shackles of civilization, there are also individual researchers of this region.
In this article, we will consider two sections of the Podkamennaya Tunguska, with a unique energy and a peculiar physical construction of stone remnants.
Sulomai pillars.
Eighty kilometers above the village of Sulomai on Podkamennaya Tunguska is the first megalithic site.This is a narrow half-kilometer canyon with steep slopes, which are vertical pillars of various intricate shapes up to 80 meters high.
Among local residents these rocks are called "podkamensky cheeks".
This natural monument is a special pride of the Central Siberian Reserve on the territory of which it is located. It is often compared to the more famous Lena Pillars due to their similarity.
According to official geology, the nature of these structures is weathering and erosion processes of "rocks of the trap formation of the Lower Triassic." The legends of local residents are also not very original - they are all members of the same family turned into stone, who once lived here. The names of the rocks also indicate such a relationship: Grandmother, Mother, Grandfather, Granddaughter.
Podkamennaya Tunguska is beyond the borders of civilization, even by Siberian standards, and access to these parts is possible only by water - the main transport routes in the north of Siberia. Although Sulomai is located only 70 kilometers from the mouth of the Pokamennaya Tunguska, which flows into the Yenisei, the attendance of these attractions is very small.Of course, the administration of the reserve, located in the village of Bor on the Yenisei, can organize an introductory tour to the megalithic complex, but you still need to swim to the mouth of the Podkamennaya Tunguska, and there are no other roads here.
In this regard, I remembered the expeditions of Georgy Sidorov to the ancient temples on the Tym River. To those distant objects 
also traveled by boat along the river system in order to explore in detail some of the mounds. 
It so happened that the same story happened to the Sulomai Pillars. In 2016, a well-known researcher of ancient megalithic structures in Krasnoyarsk drew attention to this rock complex Andrey Khudonogov. I already wrote about this person in two topics: Krasnoyarsk Pillars and the Ergaki complex. At the end of June 2017, together with polar explorer Igor Chapalov, he rafted to the megaliths of Podkamennaya Tunguska on the Russian North motor catamaran. To date, this reconnaissance expedition is the only one of its kind among the few tourist travel describing the sights of Podkamennaya Tunguska.
Upon returning from the expedition, Andrei wrote to
Facebook
a short note where he shared his opinion on the man-madeness of these rocky remains:
-
As I already wrote, before visiting the Sulomai Pillars, I was absolutely sure that, by analogy with the Lena Pillars, this is a natural formation. But even as a result of a very superficial study, we managed to find many oddities and fragments that are difficult to explain by natural factors. In this post I will try to list them, but not to draw any categorical conclusions, but to arrange the main discussion at a special seminar dedicated only to this complex.
1. Unlike the limestone Lena, the Sulomaisky ones consist of rock that is much more durable. On the Internet, it is called basalt, but it has a fine crystalline structure. It is hard to believe that the water washed out more than 100-meter "passages" in such a rock.
2. These "passages" are located not only perpendicular to the flow of the river, but also along it, i.e. the towers seem to be arranged in a certain order, in several rows.
3. The most destroyed pillars have a conical or close to it shape, while the texture of the surface of the destroyed and preserved sections is noticeably different.
4. Some of the pillars are very well preserved, and have strictly sheer side surfaces, while their texture 
resembles a rough plastered wall without joints and seams.
5. Almost all towers at the base have a circular or oval projection in cross section.
6. Several rows of towers used to stand closer to the water, but were destroyed by ice drifts, the remains of their round or elliptical bases are visible.
7. On the destroyed sections of the towers, you can see that they consist of several layers of blocks of various shapes, and the corner blocks have a rounded surface (last photos).
Unfortunately, most of the photographs with anomalous fragments and details were seized from the author of the post by the Spirits of the Locality along with the camera, which, on the one hand, may mean a reluctance to share secrets, and on the other hand, an invitation to a new, more prepared and equipped expedition to conduct full-fledged research.

Baykit megaliths.
In addition to the Sulomai Pillars, Podkamennaya Tunguska has another very long area with spire-shaped rock outcrops. They start two kilometers from the village of Baykit down the river and stretch to another remote village of Poligus. Here is the most picturesque site on Podkamennaya Tunguska.The first complexes of rocks worthy of serious attention, or the so-called pillars, begin 20 kilometers below Baykit and stretch for five kilometers. 
- Unlike those that were found at the very top, in Katanga, these remnants are composed of basalts and therefore have a slightly different appearance. Those were nevertheless monolithic and with smooth forms. The same ones seem to be made of bricks, even slightly reminiscent of the structures in the children's game "Lego".
Karpukhin S.
- An amazingly beautiful workshop stretched for 250-300 km. Openwork stone compositions on the right and left, with a certain amount of fantasy and imagination, changes in illumination and angle of view, take on different shapes. Either a sitting eagle, or a grandmother with her granddaughter, a tent, a rearing bear - and next to him a hunter with a palm tree is ready to repel an attack (an Evenk hunting knife on a stick). Gorgeous lace fascinates and causes genuine admiration. We can safely say that here is one of the most attractive places on Podkamennaya Tunguska. I was lucky to see a lot in the vastness of our Motherland, and Stolby on Podkamennaya Tunguska, in my opinion, deserve the right to be included in the list of "Wonders of Russia".
Kuznetsov N.
The rocky remains of this section of Podkamennaya Tunguska can easily compete with the Lena Pillars in size and beauty. There are especially many of them in the mouths of almost any small tributary of the river.
- Along the Tunguska itself, with a long and high wall near the shore, right up to the mouth of the tributary, remnants are built, and along Nirungda they are. And the head of this whole series of statues is one bizarre stone structure, resembling either the head of a rooster, or a man in a hat. It is amazing how this figure, built of separate blocks and seemingly completely unstable, is still holding on.
Karpukhin S.
The feature of this area is a large number of separately standing vertical remnants of a strongly elongated shape. Some of them have a block structure, others are crowned with seids - stones standing in an unnatural position or on thin legs.
Author's opinion:
According to E.P. Blavatsky, who wrote the "Secret Doctrine" through the mediation of the Mahatmas, several million years ago, the land of the Earth was represented by a huge Lemurian continent, which had the shape of a horseshoe. He captured, among other things, the territories of present-day Siberia, where there was a civilization of multi-meter giants, led by the divine messengers of Manu, who gave them various useful technologies.
-
They built huge cities. They built from rare soils and metals, from firesigneous, from the white stone of the mountains and black stone, they carved their own images, according to their size and likeness, and worshiped them.
Book of Dzyan
— The Lemurians, in their sixth sub-race, build their first rock cities out of lava and stone.E. Blavatsky
Therefore, it is very possible that the ancient Lemurians, at the dawn of the formation of mankind several million years ago, used the natural features of this place and created megalithic structures, which after such a long time turned into spire-shaped stone remains.
There are even images from the relatively recent past of one of the representatives of the people who once lived here. Here he is in the photo on the right - a spitting image of an Indian, that is, a representative of Atlantis. According to the legends of the East recorded by Roerich N.K. this empire, the main mainland of which was located in Atlantic Ocean, had colonies on the territory of modern Russia on the border with their rivals Arkts, who lived on the four islands of Hyperborea. It is noteworthy that menhirs were actively used by the heirs of the Atlantean magical traditions in Ancient Egypt. There they were called the mist of Cleopatra. As can be seen from the many photographs on Podkamennaya Tunguska, there are many similar emitters, only already very dilapidated. It is understandable how many tens of millennia have passed since those times.

Podkamennaya Tunguska, often called the Middle, among the northern peoples of Katanga, a beautiful river reservoir, it flows through the Krasnoyarsk Territory, flows into the Yenisei on the right. With a duration of 1865 km, it collects its waters from a vast territory of 240 thousand km². Its sources are located in the spurs of the Angara Ridge, the main current passes through a heterogeneous relief. The river in the upper reaches is located in a deep, widened, rapids, gorge-like valley with strong volcanic rocks. Such areas are called traps. When weathered, they form the famous outcrops « pillars » .
Above the mouth of the river Tetere, Katanga is stormy and rapids in narrow sections. At 535 km of the river there is the Bolshoy rapid, which is very popular with tourists from water specialists, at 417 km the rapid is interesting. « Flour, rapids « Polyguzskie » and Velminsky » , many rolls are swift and spectacular. In the lower reaches of the river valley expands to 20 km.
High rocky shores rivers with basalt remnants "pillars" are overgrown with dense forest. "Pillars", scientifically traps, appeared in the relief 250 million years ago as a result of a powerful eruption of an ancient volcano. But the volcano did not completely melt the permafrost, and where it succeeded, canyons appeared cutting the landscape. Later, lava flows spread, leveling the relief over a vast territory. The stony rocky channel of the Siberian river is a group of canyons, a tectonic fault on the Central Siberian Plateau. The fault was filled from underground water layers.
Where did the name of the river come from
One of the indigenous, quite numerous peoples of Siberia, the Evenks are the Tungus, literally “the people overcoming the ridges”, after his name the river was called the Tunguska. Podkamennaya, because a large river has developed a valley for itself through the solid rocks of the Yenisei Ridge, it is called Stone in these places. To the confluence of the Tetere River, the Tunguska is called Katanga. The ancient Evenki word "kata" means "knife". In a general translation, "water stinks with cold, like a knife."
Hydrological regime
The river is mainly fed by snow up to 60%, 16% by rain and 24% by underground groundwater. The flood runs from May to June. Summer low water lasts from July to October, floods are observed in summer, they raise the level of river water to 5.5 meters. Water consumption for the year is 1587.18 m³/s, during floods up to 35 thousand m³/s. Ice on the river rises from October to May. Ice drift lasts from 5 to 10 days. In winter, 11% of the total annual runoff passes through the channel.
tributaries of the river
Large tributaries of the river on the left are the rivers Velmo and Kamo; on the right are the rivers Chunya, Chula and Tetere.
river use
For 1146 km the river is navigable; in high water up to 571 km up to Baykit, above the cargoes are transported by boats with barges, in the usual level up to 275 km to the confluence of the river Velmo.
Usually, during the shipping season, tandems of barges and large boats work on the river to transport goods. 30 species of commercial fish live in the river. Valuable prey for local fishermen, and these are all the inhabitants of the river basin, are fishing for grayling, perch, taimen, ide, lenok, pike.
On the major river there are no roads and no bridges. In about a dozen rural settlements, there are several hundred or up to one thousand inhabitants. About 80 people live in the village of the same name, about 2 thousand people live in the village of Bor, in big village Baykit - more than 5 thousand people, in Vanavara more than 3 thousand people. It has all the infrastructure, schools, kindergartens, feldsher and medical centers, they are provided with electricity by diesel power plants. The farm always has an SUV or a boat with a motor.
Residents do not complain about harsh conditions. Local youth study in Krasnoyarsk or Tura. The inhabitants of the Podkamennaya Tunguska basin are descendants of marriages between Russian settlers and Evenks. A large Old Believer Russian village is Kuzmovka with a population of 187 people.
History of the development of the river
Ancient Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age settlements are known to archaeologists in the river basin. According to numerous studies, they were the direct ancestors of the modern Tungus. From the 12th century they lived from the shores of the Arctic to Mongolia. Since ancient times, the traditional occupations of the Tungus were reindeer herding and hunting.
In the summer of 1621, the Cossacks from the Surgut region, the Fedorov brothers, found “new lands” on Tunguska, they noted in their diary that “there are 60 Tungus people here, and there were no Russians here yet.” In the next two years, the first tribute of 21 sable skins was collected from the local Tungus. In 1625, the chieftain with the Cossacks Pozdey Firsov explored the lands on the Middle Tunguska. In the 1730s, 4 yasak hunting winter quarters were built here. From the place where it flows into the Yenisei, respectively, Podkamennoye, then Chunskoye or Chyumskoye, up Chapagirskoye and later Teterskoye was built. By the end of the 19th century, the merchant gold miner Vasily Latkin was doing business with the Evenks. Settlements of gold diggers were built everywhere, modern villages grew out of them.
Settlements on Podkamennaya Tunguska
Along the banks of the river are rural settlements Podkamennaya Tunguska (80 people), Baykit (5 thousand people), Vanavara (3 thousand people), Bor (2 thousand people).
What is interesting about the river Podkamennaya Tunguska
Stony Tunguska became widely known in the world after the fall of June 17 (30), 1908, it was called Tunguska. The event occurred upstream of the confluence of the Vanavark. Here it was created later on an area of 20,241 hectares. The central estate of the protected area is located in Vanavare. 145 species of rare birds, up to 40 species of various mammals, moose, lynx, brown bears, Siberian sable are protected by the state here.
In the village of Bor is the central estate of the Central Siberian Biosphere Reserve, with total area in 972,017 hectares. 46 species of rare mammals live and are protected by the state on its territory, 600 species of vegetation grow, and 34 species of commercial fish grow in reservoirs.
In Vanavara there is a museum exposition of the famous Tunguska meteorite, founded by V.I.Voronov in 1990.
Zonal scientific observatory in the village of Bor, a unique specialized institution in the entire Krasnoyarsk Territory. It conducts meteorological observations and specialized measurements in hydrology, constant observations of radio waves, the planet's magnetic field and the ionosphere. The obtained data are constantly transmitted by scientists to the Geophysical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow.
At the end of May, I was lucky to escape from Krasnoyarsk and fly to the north of our region to Evenkia. I stayed there for almost a week - filming, talking to people. For two days we went on a motorboat up Podkamennaya Tunguska. During this trip, I had a chance to look at how people live far from civilization, how they earn a living and what problems they have to face. But about everything in order, for now I will tell you about the village of Baykit.
1. First, a few photos from the flight. Podkamennaya Tunguska river.
2. The end of May, and in some places there is still snow in the Taiga.
3. This is how Baykit looks from the plane. Because of the turbidity of the glass, I had to make such an effect. 
4. Baikitik river.
5. Now about 4,000 people live in the village.
6. Airport. The plane flies to Krasnoyarsk three times a week.
8. The distance to Krasnoyarsk by air is 670 km, to Tura, the administrative center of the EMR, 350 km.
9. This is how the hotel we lived in looks like.
10. The hotel is far from luxurious. Double room cost 800 rubles / day per person.
11. The village was founded in 1927. Before the active development of the territory, a few indigenous peoples of the Evenks and Kets lived here. Now a little more than 400 Evenks live in Baykit.
12. Secondary school. The only one within a radius of several hundred kilometers.
13. Along many streets there are wooden decks for pedestrians. Thanks to them, residents can afford to go to work in something other than rubber boots.
14. The village stretched for almost 5 kilometers from the so-called "Kolkhozka" which is near the airport to "Mamaevka" (Builder microdistrict). The hilly terrain makes it very difficult to move around the village, so most families have a car.
15. Most cars are SUVs, but this is by no means a luxury, but a necessity - good roads not in Baykit itself, much less in the region. If winter roads save you in the cold season, then in the summer you can’t go to many places even on an SUV.
16. Therefore, the majority have boats - Podkamennaya Tunguska is a more reliable transport highway than roads through the taiga. But without a car, again, nowhere, because the boat must at least be delivered to the shore on something.
17. Roads in Baikit are only gravel. Asphalt is promised to be laid a long time ago, but no one knows when this will finally happen. Locals are jealous of Ture - not so long ago asphalt appeared on several streets. In the summer there is dust from the roads, so sometimes a car passes by, pouring water on the roads.
19. There is running water in the village. But the water in the houses of the inhabitants comes in summer only cold, in winter only hot.
20. And here she is.
21. WWII Memorial.
22. Baykit has public transport, represented by one route from "Kolkhozka" to "Mamaevka" through the center. The bus runs about once an hour and costs 12 rubles.
23. Most of the locals are engaged in hunting and fishing, although many work in a hospital, school and other institutions.
26. Construction of the temple. The opening is planned for this year.
27. The climate here is harsh, in winter it often freezes over forty degrees. The locals are accustomed to frost and do not complain, they say a good frost invigorates. In general, residents are not accustomed to complaining.
28. Baikites rarely keep dogs on a chain. A lot of them run through the streets. But these are mutts. Real hunting huskies are very much appreciated, they say that now it is very difficult to find a good dog. Therefore, they are not allowed to roam the streets.
29. Everything is bad with the Internet in Baykit. Now a 1 Mbps channel has been allocated to the entire village. The Internet is supplied via a satellite channel. There is no need to dream of any "unlimited" - as a rule, all office workers are allocated 100 MB per month. Recently they began to connect individuals - for them, the Internet costs from 2.3 rubles / megabyte.
30. Despite the harsh climate, almost everyone has their own garden. True, almost everything grows only in greenhouses and greenhouses.
31. In addition to private houses, there are many apartment buildings in the village. In such houses there is water everywhere, but all amenities are outside.
32. Improvised playground.
33. Public toilet.
36. Evenks, like most indigenous peoples of Siberia, quickly get used to alcohol. This woman could not pronounce her name, but she was able to offer me to buy her vodka. "I'll show you Evenkia!" she repeated.
39. Electricity is very expensive, as the fuel for the diesel station is supplied by the river. There are frequent power outages. There was an attempt to create an oil refinery in Baykit to provide cheaper electricity to the residents of the village. The administration bought an American installation, the installation was tested, and trial products were received. However, it turned out that American oil differs from Evenk oil - the presence of sulfur and salts in it did not allow to continue exploitation.
40. There are many abandoned, crumbling houses in the village. Children often play with them.
41. Although there are several well-maintained playgrounds for children.
42. One of two kindergartens.
43. Second Kindergarten. On the one hand, everything looks good. Money for repairs is allocated annually.
44. On the other hand, they go nowhere. Repairs have to be done constantly, as the building itself is dilapidated.
45. There is not enough space in the kindergarten.
46. Head Elena Yurievna shows a veranda that has retreated 10 centimeters. Children are not allowed here - they are afraid that at any moment everything can collapse.
47. In the hospital, the situation is similar - the main problem is the dilapidation of buildings. Of course, there are many other problems, such as attracting young professionals. For example, there is currently no ophthalmologist in the hospital. There are few who want to go to work to the north, even taking into account the increased salary. Another reason is the difficulty of obtaining housing for visitors. After all, no new municipal houses are being built in Baykit.
48. Therapist receives a patient.
49. Chief Physician Marina Algisovna.
50. KGBU NPO Professional Lyceum No. 91. This is the only place where young people can get at least some kind of professional education without leaving for the "mainland". Here, school graduates can become power line fitters, cooks, assistant drillers.
51. Head teacher Zhanna Viktorovna says that for many children this is the only opportunity to learn a profession. People from neighboring villages also come here to study; there is a hostel for them. But the salary of teachers is small - about 15 thousand rubles.
52. Employment center. It is located in a private house, which is rented out. Prior to this, workers had to work from home for several months. Youth without education in Baykit have nowhere to work. You can get a profession at a local vocational school, but most prefer to go to study in Krasnoyarsk. Some people get a job on a rotational basis for oil wells. However, they are reluctant to take locals there. Paradoxically, it is more expensive to bring them to the place, because it is easier to gather people from the south and put them on one plane than to transport several residents from each village by helicopter, the distances between which are very significant. Plus, residents of the EMR are supposed to pay a northern salary supplement.
53. Anna Olegovna - works in the Baykit branch of the Evenk Museum of Local Lore, moonlights as a teacher at school.
54. Prices in stores are slightly higher than in Krasnoyarsk. Of course, this is due to the poor transport accessibility of the village. Products that can be stored for a sufficiently long time are not much more expensive, but the prices for milk, gingerbread and everything that quickly deteriorates are much higher.
55. Most of the products are delivered to stores twice a year - at the end of spring, while there is "big water" on Tunguska and a winter road.
56. The rest, what has to be brought in by plane, is much more expensive.
57. A bottle of beer from 50 rubles.
59. Fruit rarely appears on the shelves. Although they are imported regularly, residents quickly buy everything.
60. High school students all say that they want to go to university and leave Baykit. They do not see any prospects for themselves here.
Such is the completely civilized northern village of Baykit. In the following posts I will talk about how they live in more remote villages and how hunters go to hunt.
The next day after arriving in Baikit, we went up the Podkamennaya Tunguska and the Kamo River to learn about how people live in Evenk settlements remote from civilization.
1. Early in the morning we move to the Podkamennaya Tunguska embankment.
2. We load things into a motor boat and set sail.
3. We are accompanied by a local hunter and fisherman Vitaly Anatolyevich.
4. All the way in one direction took us the whole day. On the way, we met only one village - Kuyumba and several small settlements. However, occasionally hunting huts come across along the coast. Hunters sometimes go fishing for several weeks, or even months. The territory of their plots is huge, so you have to build several huts. There is always the main one, in which the hunter spends most of his time. Such huts are called "bases".
5. On the way we come across mostly ships loaded with oil. Until the oil pipeline is built, "black gold" is exported only along the river. In general, the Kuyumbinskoye and Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye fields are among the most promising for development in the next 10 years.
6. The so-called "port" of Slavneft. The well itself is located a few kilometers from the shore.
7. After a couple of hours we reach Kuyumba.
8. One of the abandoned houses near the river.
9. There are several new houses built with government support.
10. The population of Kuyumba is approximately 150 people. There is a school, a kindergarten, a shop here. There is no cellular connection. Almost all residents are engaged only in hunting and fishing, there is almost nowhere to work in Kuyumba. Some get a job on a rotational basis for oil wells, which are located nearby.
11. Well, almost everyone has their own household. Someone keeps cows.
12. Local roads can only be driven by such vehicles.
13. Except by boat, you can also get to Kuyumba by helicopter, which makes a flight every 1-2 weeks.
16. Village administration.
18. The first borehole of the Kuyumbinskoye field. Drilled back in 1973.
19. Diesel.
22. Nikolai (left) - a native of Kuyumba. Engaged in the manufacture of wooden boats. He promised to make boats to many, this is hindered by constant binges.
23. On the shore we met with local hunters.
24. Hunters say that gasoline has become too expensive, and motor boats need a lot of it - a boat engine consumes much more than any car.
25. Laws are scolded for the fact that cutting clearings up to 4 meters wide is not prohibited for geo-exploration. After cutting down, the hunter does not receive any compensation, although the animal is afraid of people and leaves.
26. Despite this, the places for preparing firewood for them are very far from the village. Sometimes you have to travel more than 100 kilometers and spend a lot of fuel for delivery.
29. About 50 kilometers from Kuyumba there is a lumber camp. 20 people work here. They live in trailers and huts.
30. Carry out orders both municipal and private. Up to 20 cubic meters of wood are harvested per shift.
31. The workers are mostly from Osharovo, a village about 150 kilometers away.
32. Vitaly Anatolyevich says that they often drink. Because of this, there is no discipline, and there is no one to control them, the work gets up.
34. Sawmillers meet us quite good-naturedly and offer us a bite to eat and drink tea - hospitality is accepted among people here, otherwise it is sometimes difficult without help, because the distances between the settlements are rather big.
35. Son of Vitaly Anatolyevich.
36. Alexey keeps order in the hut, prepares food.
38. And again a few hours along Tunguska and we turn right - the Kamo River.
39. Nature around is sometimes mesmerizing.
40. Although this happens. Fires happen and extinguishing them in such a vast territory as Evenkia is not easy.
41. We make a stop in another hut.
42. Here we meet Nicholas. The fishermen call him Burbot. As Vitaly Anatolyevich says, Nikolai is a good hunter, but a big drinker. In general, among hunters it is not customary to drink a lot, because it interferes with fishing.
44. Ilyaz. Born in Kazakhstan. As a child, he moved to Kuyumba with his parents. He works at a diesel station, and of course, like everyone else in Kuyumbe, he is engaged in hunting and fishing - one salary is not enough to feed his family. Been to different cities, I saw how people live there, but is not going to leave anywhere. Vitaly Anatolyevich asked him to be our guide along the Kamo River. The river is not as full-flowing as the Tunguska, in order to drive a motorboat at this time, you need to know how to go around rapids and shallows.
45. In the evening we finally get to the place of lodging for the night - one of the hunting huts on the Kamo River.
46. Nature around.
49. Moss moss grows here - the so-called deer moss. But deer are not bred among the taiga, they are only in the north of the district in Surinda. Although wild deer are found.
50. For dinner, a soup of pasta and stew was quickly prepared. Vitaly Anatolyevich took out the smoked taimen and dried reindeer meat taken on the road.
51. The next day, at a halt, they saw an elk approaching the river from the other side. Attempts to shoot him were unsuccessful, he was too far away.
54. The next day, the water in the river fell heavily. An Evenk tradition is to throw coins into the river in front of the threshold. It is believed that this way you can appease the spirit of the river. So we did together with our guides.
55. Sailing to the mouth of Kamo. Here since here in 1952 there is a weather station.
56. Claudia. Tells that Lately bears often come. They don't have weapons, they're not supposed to. Dogs chase bears. Since weapons are not allowed, they do not hunt, they only fish.
57. 3 people work. 2 times a year they are supplied with food - canned food, cereals and other essentials. Growing tomatoes and cucumbers in greenhouses.
58. Tunguska in the vicinity of Kuyumba.
59. Not far from here is a small settlement where Alexander lives with his family.
60. In addition to them, four more people live here. Alexander says that gasoline has become very expensive, and sable, the only thing that brings income to his family, costs very little. It is almost unprofitable to sell meat and fish, because the cost of transportation is very high.
63. This is how people live away from paved roads and cell phone base stations. It cannot be said that they live badly, everyone who is not lazy can secure a normal life for themselves. Most local residents do not care who sits in the Kremlin. If only the state did not interfere in their lives with new laws restricting their crafts.
64. And finally, I would like to show a few photos of the endless expanses of Evenkia from a height.
