1908 MYSTERIOUS TUNGUSKA EVENT: THE SITE BECOMES MORE ACCESSIBLE

[00:00:00]Hello, YouTube.

[00:00:02]Let's talk about the Tunguska event a little more.

[00:00:06]Cuz I have very interesting news.

[00:00:09]A trail will be made in the Evenki taiga to the epicenter of the unsolved phenomenon, the site of the fall, in quotation marks, of the Tunguska meteorite, as some people call the event.

[00:00:23]It will run from the nearest settlement to the site of the explosion um to the expedition base of the Soviet scientist Leonid Kulik, the first researcher of this very unusual incident, in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

[00:00:45]An ecological trail will be created to the site of the fall of the Tunguska meteor meteorite, again, quotation marks. It will begin in the large village of Vanavara in the Evenki region, located on the banks of the Pankartaya Tunguska River, and known as the closest settlement to the site of the explosion, if that's what it was, over the taiga, about 60 km, and will last to the expedition base of the Soviet scientist Leonid Kulik, who really was the first researcher, official, of the Tunguska meteorite phenomenon. This was reported by the press service of the Rosneft, the Siberian oil and gas company, which is a part of it, operating in the area, um and allocate they allocated a grant for the creation of this eco-trail in the Tunguska State Nature Reserve.

[00:01:49]Um The territory of the meteorite fall now belongs to it.

[00:01:55]Why is the word fall enclosed in quotation marks? I should also say in explosion a meteorite. The fact is that when the Tunguska meteorite fell, an explosion was recorded above the Earth's surface.

[00:02:11]And the place of the fall and the meteorite itself, it was a meteorite, were never found. Experts still can't tell what it was.

[00:02:20]There are only hypotheses. And in my other videos on this subject, I listed them in great detail.

[00:02:29]But here are the facts in, you know, being brief. On June 30, 1908 at 7:14 a.m., a bright fireball or more than one flew over the Evenki taiga from the southeast to northwest and exploded not far from the point coming near Tunguska River.

[00:02:47]The power of the explosion corresponded to an average hydrogen bomb. The sound was heard at the distance of more than 1,000 km. And seismic waves were recorded from Lake Baikal to America.

[00:03:01]For several more days, the sky remained bright at night due to a rare atmospheric phenomenon, silvery clouds.

[00:03:08]Their reflections were seen in Europe.

[00:03:11]The fire and shock wave from the cosmic body spread over 2,150 km of taiga boreal forest and destroyed 60 million trees.

[00:03:20]In the epicenter of the explosion, permafrost melted from the temperature and the ecosystem changed. Now there are sphagnum swamps. Window panes in houses were blown out several hundred kilometers away from the epicenter of the explosion, and the forest was fanned out from this place.

[00:03:41]And in the very center of the fall, some of the trees stood but lost their branches and bark.

[00:03:47]Uh the study of this phenomenon began more than 10 years later. At that time, Soviet Russia was not up or to the meteorites.

[00:03:57]They had other issues. The expeditions of Leonid Alekseyevich Kulik, who uh lived between 1883 and 1942, a mineralogist from St. Petersburg University and the founder of Russian meteoritics, were the first to start work on the site. From 1921 to 1939, there were four expeditions. Now, I have demonstrated in my research that there had been earlier expeditions, albeit cryptic.

[00:04:25]Nevertheless, the persistent and brave Kulik collected eyewitness accounts, examined trees at the site of the explosion, a map of the fallen forest, and tried to determine the trajectory and location of the meteorite.

[00:04:39]But no trace of the meteorite was found either then or now, and many researchers have been there over the past 100 years.

[00:04:47]Now, this place is part of the Tunguska Nature Reserve, which was established in 1995 to study the Tunguska phenomenon and preserve taiga ecosystems. The ecological trail from the village of Vanavara will repeat the path of the scientific expeditions of the 1920s. The final point of the route or itinerary is Kulik's hunting cabin, Zaimka, uh an object of cultural heritage of regional significance, which still serves as a base for field research. Almost all the log cabins built by Leonid Kulik's expedition in 1927 have been preserved there. The commanders' and the workers' huts, and a warehouse, only the forge was destroyed. The construction of an eco-trail will expand the possibilities of scientists to conduct research on the flora and fauna of the reserve and streamline the path of tourists, which will reduce the burden on the ecosystem and reduce the anxiety factors for local animals. Currently, only scientists and trained tourists with special permission can visit those places.

[00:05:57]The itinerary passes through dangerous swampy areas of the deserted taiga and some paranormal stuff.

[00:06:07]And the trail will be equipped with grant funds, wooden decking, signs, information stands, and parking for tents will appear, which will make it the popular path safe for people and nature.

[00:06:20]After the installation of the ecological trail, the Kulik base will be able to be visited not only by research specialists, but also by groups of students and schoolchildren accompanied by instructors. Information about the eco-trail appeared on the eve of the ecologists' day, celebrated annually in Russia on June 5, and coinciding with another important environmental date, already international World Environment Day.

[00:06:47]This is Now, this is what I'm going to tell you is from the official information. This Siberian Oil and Gas Company is developing the Yurubcheno-Tokhomskoye oil and gas condensate field in the Evenki municipal district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The company's grant program has been in operation for more than a decade, and during that time the oilmen have supported 35 research projects that help study and preserve the culture, traditional way of life, and identity of the indigenous population of Evenkia.

[00:07:20]Among the supported areas are the revival of the Evenki and Kito languages, the reconstruction of the ethno-pedagogical center in the village of Turukhansk, the revival of the endangered breed of the Evenki aboriginal husky, and others.

[00:07:37]Let's leave it at that.

[00:07:39]A few more notes. So, in 1995, the Tunguska State Reserve was established around the epicenter with an area of about 300,000 hectares.

[00:07:52]The task of the reserve is to preserve these places and their unique ecosystem intact.

[00:07:58]Again, you can get there only with a special permit and accompanied by the staff of the reserve.

[00:08:05]They protect wild animals from poachers and scientists and rare groups of tourists or journalists from these wild animals.

[00:08:13]I have a few videos on the subject of the reserve.

[00:08:17]Yevgenia Moroz, senior state inspector of the Tunguska Nature Reserve, and paranormal phenomena, I've described what they have experienced, what they do, what they encounter, and how they deal with it in my other videos.

[00:08:34]Nelly Elkina, a resident of Vanavara, her ancestors were in the tundra not far from the epicenter at the time of the explosion.

[00:08:42]Her father also accompanied Leonid Kulick on one of his expeditions to the epicenter of the explosion.

[00:08:50]Stories about the Tunguska event are passed down in her family from generation to generation, and she talks about them to rare visitors.

[00:09:01]The epicenter of the explosion of the Tunguska phenomenon.

[00:09:04]The trees in that area have not grown.

[00:09:07]Scientists believe that such powerful energy was released in this place that it melted the permafrost. This led to the formation of the thermokarst craters, depressions in the ground at the site of the subsidence.

[00:09:21]And over time, the sphagnum swamps formed in the epicenter, and their own ecosystem was formed.

[00:09:30]The trees affected by the explosion in 1908, not far from the epicenter, the staff of the reserve calls them inversions and take a rare tourists and journalists to them as attractions.

[00:09:44]Lake Cheko is located 8 km from the epicenter. Some scientists have suggested that it was formed as a result of the explosion of the Tunguska phenomenon. Biological and chemical analysis have shown that the lake itself and the surrounding trees are no older than 100 years.

[00:10:01]But there is more about it in my other videos and about some other water bodies and whether this lake is the one that it's uh described to be.

[00:10:13]So, I I will attach my playlist. The link is in the description to this video.

[00:10:20]The research continues. So, please expect more videos. It's a fascinating subject and I think maybe the greatest event pertaining to UFOs of the 20th century. Well, that's my opinion.

[00:10:35]Um I've put a lot into this research and you can also read about my discoveries in my books and uh some of them quoted with film mental.

[00:10:46]So, if you like my research, please support uh to the link you find in the description to this video. Please like my uh videos. Please subscribe to my channel. Thank you.
