Welcome to the official community of Jeyrakh district of the Republic of Ingushetia. Located in the southern mountainous part of Ingushetia, the Jeyrakh district occupies the central part of the Caucasus Mountains. This is the birthplace of the Ingush people, the place from which they settled throughout the modern republic. The area is full of architectural monuments, tower complexes and sanctuaries. The largest of them are the Erzi tower complex, the ancient Christian temple of Thaba-Yerdy, etc. Being one of the most ecologically clean places on the planet, the Jeyrakh district is known for its reserves created to preserve the unique mountain ecosystem. The Jeyrakh-Assin Museum-Reserve includes more than 1000 monuments of nature, history and culture. In the protected areas of the area lives many species of animals, plants and birds. The highest peaks of Ingushetia, such as Mount Shan (4500 m) and Mount Stolovaya Met-Lam (2993 m), are located in this area. This area is called the “second Switzerland” for its picturesque mountain landscapes. It attracts tourists and athletes. Jeyrakh district is rich not only with impressive monuments of history and nature. There are health centers aimed at the treatment of the respiratory system, cardiovascular and nervous system. The climate of the area is very favorable for improving the condition of the body and rehabilitation after diseases.

Archaeologists during archaeological research on the territory of the object of cultural heritage of federal significance "Thaba Yerdy Temple" in mountain Ingushetia at a depth of 3 meters discovered an ancient silver coin.

Silver Zuzun, belonging to the VI century, is an imitation of the Sassanid drachma of Ormizd IV, said Goncharov E.Yu., a researcher at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The unique find once again proves the antiquity of the place on which the temple now stands.

Archaeological excavations near the temple, conducted in early 2024, revealed traces of a small ancient settlement on the east side of Thaba Erda.

Zuzun will be transferred to the local history museum in Nazran.
