Since 1960 Lake Turgoyak has been included in the World Lakes “Red Book” as one of the most rare and most beautiful lakes in the world. On nearby Saint Vera Island archeologists have found megaliths, tombs, galleries and quarries dating from 10,000–100,000 years old– including mysterious “ancestors” of the Pyramids.
In 1922 the Turgoyak resort was set up near this unique lake. Its location
in a nature reserve and its federal status have always played
an important role in its development and protection. A key point
point of nearby interest is Saint Vera Island, four kilometers from
the resort. It is the cradle for several unique archeological discoveries.
Megaliths were found here that are 10,000 years old. They
are much older that those found near Gelendjik, Krasnodar or even
in Tunisia–their maximum age is only 5,000 years. An archeologist
from Ekaterinburg announced that the table-stones found on
Saint Vera were 30,000 years old. These are considered to be the
oldest on the planet.
Moreover, a tomb with galleries was found on the island. There
is only one similar burial place–not far from Eton, in England. [??? Mont de la Ville originally from Jersey? - MegP Ed]And
the most unique discovery was made last year by the famous archeologist
Stanislav Grigoriev. He found a hundred thousand year old
quarry–basically the time when man just started to walk upright.
Before that, Grigoriev did archeological research in Iran, but now
he works only in Russia as there is so much to be found. Moreover right here on the territory of the resort archeologists found several
sites that are “ancestors” of the Egyptian pyramids. But why do
we find them only now? The answer is simple: the Chelyabinsk
region was closed to foreigners and most Russians. The archeological
dig was kept secret for a long time.
I must say that Turgoyak is a wonderful tourist destination.
Firstly, it is the geographical center of Russia. Secondly, Ekaterinburg
researchers recognize Turgoyak as the geomagnetic
center of the Eurasia continent–what some spiritual people
call “a navel of the world”. About hundred kilometers from the
Turgoyak region there are two polluted places that in different
times served as scenes for man-made catastrophes (Karabash
and industrial complex Mayak), but nevertheless the radiation
level in the region remains normal.
The lake is surrounded by
300 kilometers of pine taiga forest and thanks to the prevailing
winds, none of polluting effluents get to this region. Turgoyak
is also unique in a way that it has borders with the Ilmen
mountains–a natural mineralogical museum. Though they are
only forty kilometers long, they contain all the elements in the
Periodic table. And the Ilmen reserve itself is only ten kilometers
from the resort. Construction on the lake shore is prohibited.
The only place that can be developed is on the site of the Turgoyak
resort. Today there are several spa centers for affluent customers,
and of course the Turgayak resort for everyone. We are now enlarging
our health center and constructing three hotels (fourteen,
nine and five-storey). This year the resort celebrates its 85th birthday
85 and is entering a new phase of its development.
