Death Valley is a mystical anomalous area in the valley of the Vilyui river far in north-east Siberia, on sparsely populated land where the Sakha people live. Sakha hunters have always known that there are mysterious structures far in the tundra, which they called cauldrons. Hundreds and hundreds of years ago, they fell from the heaven with a roar and flame, and since then have slowly sunk into the permafrost. Some of them were the size of a big yurt, shaped like an upside-down cauldron, others much larger, with several levels going deep underground. During a hunt for fur animals, Sakha hunters sometimes stayed overnight in them. It was much warmer inside than in the open air, the walls seemed to emit warmth, especially in multi-level structures, the deeper, the warmer. But those who spent more than one night there always got sick and died soon. In the middle of the 19th century, a Russian gold digger with a mate and a few Sakha guides roamed this area, pan out sands at the small rivers flowing into Vilyuy. One evening they went out to the hilly area with sparse trees. Pointing at a small mound, the oldest guide said that they were to spend the night there. For the Russians, it looked like a kind of large bump, which are abundant in the local tundra. They usually are formed when the water accumulates under a thin layer of soil and freezes, creating a form of convex lens. But it was astonishing for them to see that its edge had risen above the ground and they could crawl under it to get inside. The whole object resembled an upside-down and slightly inclined bowl covered with soil and grass. During the dinner, the guides told to the Russians some legends related to the “cauldrons”, as much as the both sides poor language allowed. They warned that in case of suffocation, headaches or nightmares they should go outside and sleep in the open air. But our guys slept well and started to examine their cauldron in the morning. Sorry, the volume limitation, the next part will be soon.
