Historical and cultural monuments of Altai
Stone Baba
One of the most memorable finds are the creations of the Altai peoples of the Warriors. The stordst thing is that in the end they purchased such a name. And hearing him, it misleads, because the case is about the image of Worders and Men. In the Altai Territory, more than 200 such stone boulders were found, and some were transported to central cities Moscow and Peter. They are dating 8-9 century AD. No image is similar to another, if you can put it, they are made in different style, although they are the same. This is a big stone, sometimes made under the silhouette of a person with the image of a man or his face. Usually each of them has a straight look with widespread eyes. Everyone has some distinctive sign showing its status.
In the lowered hand, a saber Il Dagger is usually located, perhaps on the belt. They are dressed in the robes of the warrior, and in the hand hold the cup or a cup with a drink. It is believed that this bowl in hand is a symbol of the participation of the soul in the burial. These stone sculptures attract some kind of magical aura, remind something far and sacred. They only published resemble people, serve their description rather. The statues height is different from 1.5m to 4x. It happens, they are located in groups near some ancient villages. They are attributed to one time and are associated with a historical event. They are closely related to the history of Altai and are considered her heritage. These amazing stone blocks of the strengths and brave men living so sometime.
Balbala
This is the subject of the discussion of archaeologists. It is also considered to be the property of Altai and is a large number of stone blocks set close to each other. There are several versions of explaining a similar phenomenon, or rather, their purpose. After all, this is a question why someone once established a large number of stones in one place, gone from the village, they must have some meaning. It is generally recognized by their role in the funeral ritual, but the meaning of this location is important. This is definitely not the tombstones of the dead, because there was no one bone next to the burial. But at that time the corpses and burned. However, looking at the history and legends about these parts, some believe that it is directly connected with the testes about wars.
In ancient stories, it is said that when some nice warrior or a commander was dying, there were so many stones with his burial, as he killed how many enemies. True, even for the period to present that a person killed about a hundred people is very difficult. And they are usually in large quantities. Therefore, it is rather a legend, albeit interesting, but dubious. In another version, these funeral stones also consider a certain cemetery, they said that the warriors and stones were buried there - this is a sign of confession who came to honor him. But, on the other hand, they could also bury both women and children, and the stones then will be the reverence from people who came to spend their soul.
In another embodiment, they expressed the theory that it was not easy stones, and Konovyzya, which usually nomadic people put on their homes towards the East. And it is possible that when the rite of burial happened, people were overlooking the convales to this place, as a sign of respect or as a stay there. Perhaps they had a deeper point as a sign of attention to the human soul, so that he could know that this man remembers about him. Therefore, such places of the Balbaly are still a controversial monument of culture. Everyone converge on the fact that they have a ritual value, but what else will have to learn. While they are impressive with their multiple and location among the rocks, resemble a kind of cemetery, and on these stones you can even find inscriptions as some messages to the deceased.
Denisova Cave
Altai is full of mountains and ridges, very amazing with its beauty. And there is a lot of different caves. But this names contains not only the spirit of the people, but also historical importance. The cave among the people is called "bear stone", because according to the legend, there was a dark shaman who terrorized the neighboring settlements and forced them to pay him. He himself could turn into a huge bear and sculpt the boulder who rolled on the village, and where his road was running, then it was always raining and spoiled sowing. Only the highest deity was able to defeat him, who prayed local.
He destroyed the shaman and shook the thunderwall deep into the cave. Now there are many archaeologists there, and the neighboring settlements scold them for it. After all, they believe that if those surpass at least a piece from the stone, then the rain will fall again on their homes. But they are unlikely to leave this place alone, because it was this cave that became a source of cultural find. Namely, it was found confirmation that in this part of the mainland, people began to settle from not from 1 centuries. N.E, and already from 2-3, and it had more influence.
Of course, then the question arises, why is it called Deonisov? This name, she acquired due to the fact that in it some time lived in 18VV. Hermit Dionysius. For those who lived there, the Old Believers he was a shepherd. Believers came to him in the cave for the blessing and advice. Therefore, now the cave is indicated by this way.
Ukoka princess
This unexpected and amazing find came into the hands of the researchers of one Kurgan on the plateau of ocke. In 1993, she found the burial of a person with two knives and a couple of horses, which was quite expected to this place. But after this burial, something really amazing was discovered. They discovered a whole funeral room, with a shaded body of a young woman, which is now called the Ukok Princess. The room was decorated with various skins, and there were also buried 6 horses there, which speaks of her status, because only the royal genus could have such a number of horses.
