It is possible to say about discovery of an unknown civilization that once existed. And yet the researchers are at a loss regarding material samples of what culture they have unearthed.
It is interesting to note that a direct view of Elbrus opened from every ancient settlement. It could hardly be accidental. It seems that the people, who had come here, had purposefully chosen the place to see the mountain. By approximate calculations of historians, about 25 thousand persons could have lived in all the 160 settlements at the same time.
The mysterious people mysteriously disappeared. After the 9th century B.C. they left their houses in the foothills of Elbrus and went away. Scientists hope to solve at least a part of the riddles of the ancient inhabitants of the ridge. There is, for example, an assumption that dwellers of Arkaim - a big settlement that prospered behind Urals in the 3rd-2nd millennia BC - could have reached that land.
