In 1969, the quiet and quiet life of the village of Rzhavchik in the Tisul district of the Kemerovo region was disturbed by an unusual find. In the depth of the coal mine, miners found a sarcophagus in which there was a very beautiful woman of European appearance, who was later called a Tisul princess.
Top secretly.
This story has received wide publicity after the article of Oleg Kulishkin published in the newspaper "Arkaim" in 2002. The author met a former KGB colonel on the train, who told him about the unusual discovery. In September 1969, in the middle of the coal bed, which is located at a depth of 70 meters, a miner Karnaukhov found a two-meter marble sarcophagus. The head of the site Masalygin immediately ordered to stop the work, the sarcophagus was carefully raised to the surface. It seemed to the workers that the treasure had been found, and without waiting for their superiors, they started to repel the fossilized clogging from the sarcophagus cover. But the sun's rays suddenly made it flow. One of the workers decided to try a strange liquid to taste, and a week after that he began to have a mental disorder, and he went to hospital.
When they opened the marble box, it became clear that it was a coffin full of transparent pink and blue liquid in which the woman was lying. High even by current standards - 180 centimeters - the beautiful woman looked like she was 30 years old, her blue eyes were wide open. The woman was dressed in a white, semi-transparent dress with embroidery, and she had a black box in her head that resembled a cell phone.
Infectious place.
In the turmoil, they forgot to close the sarcophagus, and the villagers stared at the miracle all morning. But soon the district superiors arrived and ordered everybody to step away from the coffin, as "the place is contagious". They made a list of all those who came to see the discovery, ostensibly in order to conduct a medical examination. When they tried to drag the sarcophagus into the helicopter, it turned out to be too heavy. To ease the burden, we decided to drain the liquid. But the woman's body began to turn black as soon as it touched the air. The liquid was poured again, and the deceased's face looked the same. We had to call in additional forces to load the sarcophagus into the helicopter.
The cargo was sent to Novosibirsk. A week later, a professor arrived from there and said that the Tisul princess was buried 800 million years ago. And this is despite the fact that the age of coal is 400 million years. Most likely, the sarcophagus was first in a wooden crypt in a ferns forest. But the wooden walls collapsed over time, their remains grew into the ground, and without access to air they became part of the coal bed millions of years later,
In addition, the professor reported that the princess' dress was made of fabric of unknown origin. The composition of the embalming liquid also failed to be established, but it was known that it contained components similar to onions and garlic.
A local district newspaper published a short note about the discovery, quoting the professor's report. But soon the military and police arrived in the Tisul district. The district was cordoned off, the newspaper was taken away from the residents, and the site was razed to the ground and a dump was set up. Those who were dissatisfied by a strange coincidence were dying of illnesses or accidents. During the following year, six workers died in car accidents who opened the sarcophagus. All this made the other witnesses keep their mouths shut. And in 1973, 6 kilometers from where the princess was found, some large-scale excavations, conducted in strict secrecy, began again.
The obvious becomes a mystery.
In 2007, journalist Roman Yanchenko, having become interested in this story, decided to check its authenticity. Interviewing the witnesses, Yanchenko noted that all of them were confused when it came to the causes and dates of death of people involved in the discovery. But everyone unanimously claimed that they had never found any sarcophagi or other artifacts here. Perhaps so, but a local resident reported on one of the Internet sites that the headmaster of his school in the 1970s was talking about a Tisul princess. But there is no smoke without fire. Anyway, the journalist did not find the truth.
And in the spring of 2012, the author of the first article, which is almost forgotten, announced himself. He said that after the publication of his article he had been involved in an accident, however, he got rid of minor bruises.
