Thousands and thousands of soldiers perished on its slopes.Every inch of his soaked with blood, and the spirit of many deaths probably have not weathered away and poisons the air is still, despite the apparent peace and tranquility.
Kurgan Manila, he blocked it fascinating.What is the mystery and power of this mysterious Volga heights?
holy a place or a curse?The unequivocal answer is still no.But one thing is clear, Mamayev Kurgan is not easy and full of all sorts of secrets and mysteries.And one of the modern mysteries associated with his name ....
It would seem that there is nothing easier - time mom, then connected with the name of a very real khan of the Golden Horde - Mamay.It tells the legend, believable and very "historical", on this mound in the days of Mamaia was an outpost of the Tatars.At the top stood guard patrols, and on the crest - a horseman, whose military job was to watch for the appearance of any danger.
Hundreds best soldiers sent to carry Mamai guard service at this altitude, because my mother, they say, know that this is where it is most convenient to control the Volga and Perevoloki, and so he can avoid a surprise attack on the capital of the khanate.
Now, however, some researchers argue that the Khan Mamai nothing to do with the mound really did not.This Mamayev Kurgan is elsewhere - on Seleznyov hill, it had its guard regiments Mamaia.
But then why do we still mound was named Mamaev?Versions - abound.Before World War II the locals called this hill a "hill", and in the manner of the Volga Tatars, it sounded like "mama".That's one hypothesis.
But according to another view, the name of any relation to the mom and the Tatars do not have, and etymology of the word "mother" with drevnetibetskogo means "mother of the world."Like this!
A number of scholars support this version: Mamayev Kurgan, of course, nothing to do with Khan Mamai has not, but it detects the connection to the origin of another ancient capital - the city of Itil, where it inhabited the Khazars professed Judaism.
In general, the mound had not been formally designated the mound.At first it was just a hill, it does not attract attention.Since the time of the Battle of Stalingrad it became strategically important object, and in all military documents already referred to as the "height of 102".The name of the "mound" in relation to "the height of 102" was first used one of the military correspondents.And the word is stuck, even merged with the mysterious tall, all the more so after the terrible battles of the Great Patriotic War, this place justifies the true meaning of "mound" - gravestones mound ...
Modern scientists suggest that the Mamayev Hill has a special power because,that passes underneath geological fault, which flows through the cosmic microwave background radiation, influence people.Positive or negative - question.But what Mamayev Kurgan for centuries had a special meaning for people - can not be questioned.
Based on historical evidence, whom he has not seen!This place was sacred to the Sarmatians.Their tribes lived here from V.BC.for the IV.BCOn the mound, they performed their rites and ordinances.There is a legend that in Mamayev Kurgan was stuck Sarmatian sacred sword.
Another legend of the sword and the Mamayev Hill takes in the days of Tamerlane.They say the mysterious Tamerlane entered on the mound, and when he ascended to the top, he suddenly catch a glimpse of the Mother of God with a sword and ordered him to get away from these lands.Tamerlane saw the Virgin or not, but this campaign the Volga in his biography - only interrupted ...
special story - about the Persian king Darius.In 512 BC,he gathered five hundred thousandth army for the purpose of the march on the Volga-Don interfluve.Darius longed to expand the boundaries of their lands at the expense of other people's possessions.The reason the campaign is the "motto" - Scythians revenge for the wrongs inflicted by ancestors of the Persians.
Scythians was much less, and they, instead of going into open battle, decided to use tactics that would later be called the tactics of "scorched earth": in general, the Scythians began to retreat inland, pre asleep roadside wells and springs, and destroying vegetation.
Darius with his thousands of troops, elephants, lions and camels, had to follow a tricky opponent.Very soon his army was exhausted, tired, and appeared in the ranks of the discontented mass.Darius reached the River Oar (Volga), and here it is exhausted by the army stopped.Darius decided to wait and placed on the future Mamayev Kurgan.As time went on ... But the enemy - no, did not go to an open fight.Instead
general battle the Scythians began to quietly attack the troops of the Persians hungry, go for the food, sometimes even engaging in battle with the Persian cavalry and turning it into a rout.
Then, in desperation, the Persians have begun to build capacity - eight huge walls.But that Darius did not help.In the end, he was forced to retreat is not something that - to flee, leaving almost all his baggage, and most of the soldiers.
later Herodotus in his notes about the journeys along the Volga mentioned the remains of eight fortification fortifications Persians at Mamayev Kurgan.
But the old battle at this altitude pale before the fierce battles waged during the defense of Stalingrad.200 days of the Battle of Stalingrad lasted for itself, and from as many as 135 days was just a battle for Mamayev Kurgan!And it was in the "height 102" Battle of Stalingrad ended in itself.
surviving soldiers and residents were told that after the Battle of Stalingrad and the foot of the slopes were covered with shrapnel so that one square meter can be collected from the 500 to 1 250 parts of shells and bombs!And for a few vёsen Mamayev Kurgan not turned green, gray remains of a thick layer of debris, which are not allowed to break even the ubiquitous thin blade of grass!
This place has become the focus of huge human losses.For the "height 102" lay down his head 7200 Russian soldiers, and about the same as the Nazis found their death here.After the war, in the land of Mamayev Kurgan it was buried more than 34 million (!) Men who died in the defense of Stalingrad.And search group found the remains of fighters of the battle so far.Needless to say, now that this tragic height of wandering ghosts?
Night guards memorial complex "Mamaev Kurgan" say that now can be found here shadows of fallen soldiers, and on the older graves observed strange and unnatural glow.
And brotherly cemetery and another near an old bunker, which was built in 1942 in pure moonlight appears the figure of a soldier with a gun.He does not speak and does not disappear, but simply is, like military fortifications guarding or waiting for someone.
old people talked about a troubled ghost of a girl dressed as a nurse, that once wandered among the trees to the left of the monument Motherland.Female ghost worried, tried to speak, the counter offer to help, but did not have time and melted ...
In 2005 Mamayev Kurgan appeared his temple - All Saints.Better late than never, because it needs a special place in the heavenly patronage, because too much has happened here deaths and too many people lies in the land.
Earth Mamayev Hill is haunted by many researchers, archaeologists, historians and enthusiasts easy.People try to explain what is it about this relatively low Volga hill?And the hypothesis put forward simply stunning.
Thus, it is believed that the Volgograd region is a kind of a key point of the Earth.Rather, the center of the destruction of the Earth.And it Mamayev Kurgan, where now there are figures of the motherland is the very point of destruction.And, they say, the Nazis knew about it.Therefore eager to seize on whatever was the "height 102".
There is a hypothesis is even more amazing.According to her, in Mamayev Kurgan hidden ... holy grail, and that neither Stalin nor Hitler did not want to take the mound for that reason, and that even during the fighting took place in the mound excavations.
indirect evidence that the Germans were really looking for something on the mound, can serve as a godsend ring "Totenkopf".These rings were only employees of a particular organization "Ananerbe" ("Ancestral Heritage"), who has been researching the occult places and finding ancient artifacts.
According to another hypothesis, Mamayev Kurgan conceals treasures of ancient civilizations that can be opened only after the earth will end all wars.
