Egikal is one of the largest tower complexes and is rightfully known as the capital of mountain Ingushetia. The castle complex is located on the southern slope of Mount C1ei Loam, two kilometers from the river Assa and covers an area of about fifty hectares. On the perimeter of the aul there are underground, semi-underground, elevated graves of the pre-Muslim and Muslim periods, as well as on the outskirts of the western part of the village - the city of dead crypts of different types - "1 imarash". In the crypts - "solar burial grounds" - the remains of the ancestors of the Ingush are visible. Muslim cemeteries are close to the tower complex. On some plates - "Churts" - texts written in Arabic script are preserved. Each family had its own family cemetery. From 1989 to the present time on a permanent basis in the ancestral village of Egikal lives one family - Gurazhev.

Structurally, the Egikal complex has more than one hundred and fifty buildings of different types: combat, semi-combat, residential towers, sanctuaries, "sellings", crypts - round, tower-shaped, ground and underground. They date back to the XII-XVII centuries, although the history of the complex goes far back centuries. Proof of this are cyclopean constructions from the time BC, located just north of the tower complex.

Scientists-Caucasian scholars N. Yakovlev, B. Skitsky, T. Bekov and others also write that in the Galgaev gorge, the genera of three villages – Khakhal – leading from three brothers were born and strengthened: Aegee, Hamho, Targim. The fact that the Khakhalin people united the Ingush tribes under the sacred mountain Ts1ei Loam, and then moved to the development of the plains, legends tell. The unification took place under the sacred mountain C1ei Loam.
