Kihilyakh.The Mystery of Verkhoyansky Ulus

Kihilyakh.The Mystery of Verkhoyansky Ulus

Once upon a time God settled people on the land rich in wildfowl and fish, and bidded them not to leave these coast of the Yana river. Some time later people tired of living on the same place, and they had decided to go through the Verkhoyansk Range in search of other fate. God was incensed at that and punished those disobedient people, turned them into stone statues that acquired the name of Kihilyakh . Up to these days, the place where it happened amazes travelers’ imagination. It is surrounded with fog and mysticism.

On September 27, 2006, a warm and sunny day, inauguration and consecration ceremony of an Old Town historical-architectural complex took place in Yakutsk. Indeed, that event became historical for that ancient (for Siberian scale) town.
