Acting Director of the Museum-Reserve Sampiev A.A., together with the staff, within the framework of the work plan, made an inspection trip to the tower settlements “Tsori” and “Oasegh”.

Medieval complex "Tsori" - one of the largest tower complexes - is located in the eastern part of the Dzheyrakh district of the Republic of Ingushetia, on the border with Chechnya and Georgia, on a high mountain ledge. Its more accurate location is the Guloikhi Gorge. There is a tower complex at an altitude of 1,170 m.

At the moment, there are three battle towers, more than three dozen residential, 12 crypt burial grounds, early Muslim land burials, an ancient mausoleum, and traces of two river mills were found. If you look closely, on the walls of the towers you can see interesting ornaments created from stones of different colors. There is a lot of evidence that artisans and architects who lived in the fortress were famous for their art throughout Ingushetia.

The battle towers of the castle ensemble are quite high, although not completely preserved. You can still see window openings, loopholes, arched ceilings and nothing like salt symbols, telling about the traditions of ancient Ingush. In general, despite the huge age of the buildings, many ornaments and decorative fragments have been preserved on the buildings.

The roof of the battle tower is flat with teeth at the corners, topped with conical stones. In Tsori, the towers and sakli of almost all the villages adjoin each other, piling up with tiers and forming one solid, strongly fortified castle.

Crypts are scattered near the village in several places. They are made of uncooked stones, on lime, have a yellow lining and in each tier of lazes - often rectangular, less often with a semicircular vault. More than half of them remained at full height. And the crypt that collapsed in 2022 was restored last autumn.

The tower complex "Oasegh" is located 500 meters north of Zori, right by the road. In the past, the complex had 6 residential towers up to three floors high, with a variety of annexes, which together with a stone defensive wall formed a single castle complex of the late medieval period. Nearby stood two tower-like terrestrial collective crypt tombs. Only one residential tower has survived. According to the preliminary results of the All-Union census of 1926, 2 peasant farms and 11 people of both sexes were recorded in the village.

Field material was collected by officers on the spot, the preservation of monuments was examined, and photofixation was carried out.

On all objects of cultural heritage of the complex will be drawn up acts of technical condition and sent to higher organizations.
