கிராமம் பற்றி தெரியுமா? | City of the Dead: The Mysterious
Village of Dargavs, Russia
#NorthOssetia #Dargavs #DeadVillage
Reaching this mystifying destination
requires a three-hour drive, taking you down a dangerous and hidden road
befitting a journey to the City of the Dead.
The village of Dargavs, or the City of
the Dead, has an ancient cemetery where people that lived in the valley buried
their loved ones along with their clothes and belongings. The valley stretches
for 17 kilometers, and the cemetery contains almost 100 ancient stone crypts.
Ossetians say that the cemetery helps
them understand how people lived 400 years ago. Archeologists, also, are very
interested in exploring the site more completely, as there have been
interesting items found that have attracted some scientific attention.
It is a very mysterious place with a
lot of myths and legends. It was once believed that if anyone tried to get to
the city they would never emerge alive.
Local legends have it that in the 18th
century a plague swept through Ossetia. The clans built quarantine houses for
sick family members, who were provided with food but not the freedom to move
about until death claimed their lives. People who did not have any remaining
family members to bury them would just wait in the massive cemetery until their
death. It was a very slow and painful way to go, and in the City of Death they
stay.
It attracts tourists from nearby as
well as all over the world, although due to the difficulty in finding or
traveling to the location there are not a lot of tourists at any given time.
The local superstitions probably have little to do with the lack of popularity,
although they do still linger.
Locals bemoan the young generation’s
attraction to bright cities, contending that the young are missing out on a
lot. Russia has a lot of truly unique places to offer but these historic sites
do not attract much attention. If, however, one spends some time in North
Ossetia, they say it’s possible to feel the ancient vibes around the city and
its surrounding area.
Once you get to the city you will find
what at first appear to be lots of little white houses but are actually stone
crypts, the oldest dating back to the 16th century. In front of every crypt
there is a well that was used to tell if a person made it to heaven. Visitors
drop a coin into the well, and if the coin happened to hit a stone at the
bottom of the well, it was said to be a good sign.
