Leso-Kyafar settlement and dolmens

Dolmens of Leso-Kyafar, Kyafar settlement
russia, Arhiz
The Leso-Kyafar settlement is a little-studied and hard-to-reach place. This ancient settlement is located on a high ridge, located between the two rivers Kyafar and Krivaya, and is surrounded on all sides by sheer cliffs and cliffs. Archaeological excavations were carried out here only a few times in the second half of the 20th century. According to archaeological data, the main part of the settlement was erected in the 11th century. , but some fragments (dolmens) are much older - they are attributed to the II millennium BC. e. The settlement is considered a monument of the Alanian and Sarmatian culture, but what it was - the capital of the Alans, a large cult complex or a fortress - is not yet known. Today the settlement looks like this: on a narrow hill covered with forests, there are ruins of houses, stone figures, sanctuaries, massive fortress walls and nineteen dolmens. On the slabs and stones, clear traces of inscriptions and images are visible (crosses, priestly fortune-telling "Babylons", inscriptions similar to runes, images of people and animals). Tourists are mainly attracted here by dolmens - the tombs of the Alanian nobility.. They are solid stone slabs with round holes and preserved runic inscriptions. Dolmens to this day remain insufficiently explored, therefore they are overgrown with all sorts of stories and legends. Very often people come to the settlement for esoteric reasons and in search of an ancient place of Power.

Already on the outskirts of this place, it seems that he got into an enchanted forest. Strange rocks rising from the ground in the middle of a dense forest. Slabs with ancient rock paintings, masonry overgrown with moss and, finally, dolmens - stone blocks of incomprehensible purpose, covered with ornaments and runic symbols. They say that in the evening, strange things begin to happen here - the compass begins to behave strangely. And in this place, allegedly, you can recover from various chronic diseases.
