Jeyrakh-Assin Reserve

The Jeyrakh-Assin historical, architectural and natural museum-reserve is located within the boundaries of the Jeyrakh district of the Republic of Ingushetia on the northern slopes of the foothills of the Central part of the Greater Caucasus Range. The reserve was established on June 2, 1988. The area of the reserve is slightly more than 627 square kilometers. The activity of the reserve is aimed at ensuring the preservation, restoration and study of territorial complexes of cultural and natural heritage, material and spiritual values in their traditional historical (cultural and natural) environment. On the territory of the museum-reserve there are 122 ancient architectural complexes, including more than 2,670 objects of cultural significance, including defensive and residential towers, burial crypts, Christian and pagan sanctuaries and temples. The oldest buildings of the megalithic type belong to the middle of the second millennium BC. Every year, significant scientific discoveries are made on the territory of the reserve, new objects are identified, archaeological expeditions are constantly working, scientists from all over the world come. Since 1996, the reserve has been a candidate for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Significant value in the reserve is given to work on creating conditions for the development of organized tourism, its educational and service component.

These days, during the next round, the inspector of the Jeirakh-Assinsky Museum-Reserve on the territory of the Tsori tower complex discovered a previously unknown underground chamber structure made of stone, presumably, an ancient underground crypt.

The underground structure was discovered near two above-ground crypt tombs located near the roadway. A small rectangular-shaped hole was covered with a large boulder, pushing away which the worker found the entrance hole of an underground stone crypt, with preserved bone remains inside.

We remind you that in mountainous Ingushetia, together with the specialists of the ASM GROUP, work is being carried out on the inventory of cultural heritage objects, to identify their actual presence and ensure their safety.

The discovered object, after carrying out the relevant works, will be included in the list of identified objects of cultural heritage of the republic.
