Human beings have always wanted to completely conquer nature. Almost every year, people lose their lives because of this, but these still cannot stop the footsteps of enthusiasts. In February 1959, nine Russian youth died bizarrely while climbing a mountain adventure. The strange injuries are hard to explain. What did they experience before their death?
Ural Mountain
9 people died
This is a bizarre event in the Ural Mountains in Russia. A group of nine people went for a skiing adventure, but they did not return for a long time. After receiving the news, the search team hurried to search, and finally found the traces of five of them near the Mountain of Death. Unfortunately, after a simple inspection, it was confirmed that they were dead. The search and rescue team knew that this was beyond their handling scope, and there were still four people who had not been found for a long time. Their staff was seriously insufficient and it was difficult to conduct a large-scale search.
The red pine wood at the place where the body was found
Understand that time is life, the search and rescue team members quickly took photos of the scene, did not dare to destroy the evidence at the scene, and hurriedly went down the mountain, notified the local government, and immediately sent professionals to collect evidence. When they arrived, the first thing they saw was the two bodies under a red pine tree. According to the photos provided by the police, the identities of the two were determined. However, in such a snowy and ice, the two were only wearing underwear and underwear, and leaning tightly together, and there was an extinguished fire nearby.
corpses found in the snow
Then three people were found one after another, and the clothes on their bodies were not complete. It felt like they were pieced together casually. They found their camp in the direction of the corpse. It seemed that these three people wanted to return to the camp before they died. What made them even more strange was that these tents were covered with heavy snow, but all the supplies were still there, including clothes for keeping cold. So why didn't they wear them, but instead ran under the tree to make a fire, but wanted to return here at the end.
camp
As the tent was inspected, people found that one of the tents was cut from the inside, which meant that they had encountered some urgent matters and had no time to come out of the entrance of the tent in turn, but there were no signs of fighting on the scene. Some footprints could be seen outside the tent. In addition to a few shoe prints, the remaining footprints can be seen that some were barefoot, and some were only wearing socks. But in such a cold day, barefoot coming out was tantamount to suicide, and these footprints were all the way to a high place.
Online footprints
This is very similar to an emergency behavior to avoid the avalanche, but the snow here is not thick, otherwise the tent would not be discovered so easily. The team members looked forward to their footprints, and the place they saw was covered with snow. The remaining four people were most likely in the forest below. As long as one person survived, you can know what happened that day. Without further ado, the team members immediately launched a large-scale search of the place.
Search and rescue team searched for
team members with emergency equipment and brought clothes for the missing persons in the tent, because they knew that had not invested enough clothes in this cold and could not survive, let alone that they might not even wear shoes. If so, their chances of survival would be infinitely close to zero. Although the ending had been predicted, they still had to be prepared to survive. After a few days of intense search, the team members still did not find anything.

At this time, the team members also knew that the remaining four people had no hope of survival. After nearly a month of searching, there was still no discovery, so they could only suspend the search and rescue, waiting for the weather to warm up, and the missing family also accepted the facts and waited for the body to be discovered. After several months, the temperature on the mountain was no longer so cold. The search and rescue team organized a large number of people to go up the mountain to find the bodies of the four people. Finally, two pieces of clothing were found on a melting snow field, which shows that their search direction was correct. Finally, with the help of the detection instruments, they found the bodies of the four people.
Stream buried deep under the snow
This is a stream hidden under the snow, with the snow on it being 4 meters thick. After it was melted in large quantities, the status of the corpses also showed that they fell here and were soaked in the stream. So even if they did not die, they would soon be frozen to death due to temperature loss. Since then, all the bodies of nine people have been found. After the search and rescue team members mourned, they sorted out the bodies and brought them back to the foot of the mountain. They will undergo autopsy together with the previous five people, , to restore the cause of death.
Leader
mountaineering was wiped out by
, which also made it difficult to carry out the investigation. The only clue to the deceased who are currently known is that they are all students of a university and are core members of the school mountaineering association. At this time, a man who claimed to be a member of the deceased took the initiative to tell the investigators what happened at that time. With his story, people realized that there were ten people in the team at first, and the reason for this climb was that one of them wanted to get a higher-level mountaineering certificate.
View route
also issued a special call for this, hoping that some like-minded people can be with them, and nine people will sign up in one go. After the team gathered enough people, they began to prepare for the departure. After preparing enough equipment and supplies to resist the severe cold, they set off and were very happy along the way. The nine people were very harmonious and were ready to work together. The one they were going to climb was the most difficult mountain in the local area, which was the holy place for all the Soviet mountaineering enthusiasts.
small village at the foot of the mountain
Although it is not as popular as Himalayas and so on, it is still very dangerous for this group of amateur mountaineering. After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, and the journey of began from then on. But shortly after the start, I was unable to work hand in hand with the team members because of my physical discomfort, so I could only go down the mountain with regret. At this time, I didn’t know that I was just passing by death like this.
The person who was frozen to death
This is everything he knew. He never received any news since then. After listening, the investigator also determined that there was no major conflict among these people. The murder was initially ruled out. As for the specific situation, he had to wait for the autopsy results. The forensic doctor also reported the results, showing that the five people found above were frozen to death. The cause of death of these people was already speculated by the search and rescue team of these people, because when several people were discovered, they were not snow but ice. This situation is usually because they had not completely died when they fell down. After the body temperature melted the snow and then formed ice, they were mentally prepared.
The last four people found
Forensic identification
As for some injuries on the corpse, they were not fatal. Combined with the traces at the scene, these injuries should be caused by accident when they fell into a coma, and there were no signs of fighting at the scene. These people can be confirmed to have died in an accident, and the murder may be ruled out. But the forensic doctor then said that the other four people were not frozen to death, but died of fatal injuries, and two of them were severely impacted, causing a broken rib and inserted into the heart.

There is another person's neck broken, and the last one is even more strange. The skull is completely broken and has been severely deformed. This is a hard skull that can be completely broken. Even if the forensic and police are experienced, they can't think of the reason for it for a while. And the strangest thing is that the person with the two ribs has no upper lips and tongue on his face, and the other has lost two eyes.
Snow brown bear
No part of the disappearing body was found near the discovery of its corpse. They disappeared out of thin air, and then the residue of radioactive material was detected on the clothes. The four people were full of suspicion, which made the police officers creepy. At first, they thought it was the incomplete body caused by the biting of animals, but after repeated comparisons, no traces of animals were found, and the wounds were also neat. The police immediately thought of a strange tribe that existed in the local area.
The Manxi tribe who was investigated
, a tribe called the Manxi tribe, although it has been integrated into the modern era, it still maintains its own production and lifestyle, in which specific parts of the prey will be cut off, and they regard it as honor. Although the police did not believe that it would be them who committed the crime, they still conducted an investigation in accordance with the law. The results also confirmed that although these tribes still have a certain degree of backwardness, they have rarely hunted, let alone murdered people. Their settlement is not close to here, and their own tribesmen will not come so far.
Diary of the mountaineering team
Everyone could only turn their eyes back to the body. According to multiple simulations, it was found that the reason for the broken ribs of two of them was not like it was because of falling, but it seemed that they had encountered a shock wave. Therefore, there was no physical injury, but the inside was severely broken. However, how did the shock wave come from? This cannot be explained. The traceability of the case was resisted, and the police wanted to get the answer from the team members' objects. There was indeed a diary in the tent, but there were only some trivial matters on it, and there was no record after encountering danger.
Camera of the Soviet Union
After all, they didn't even have time to wear clothes and shoes at that time, and they would not have time to record them. They could only place their hopes on their body cameras. However, only one camera was found on the corpse, and there may be important information, but it was transferred into the water. Not only did the camera completely scrapped, but even the film was seriously damaged. Although professionals have been found to recover, the result is not optimistic.
Avalanche
Cause of death
Apart from this unexplained cause of death, what the investigators couldn't understand is why they ran out of the tent so anxiously. Although their footprints seemed to be avoiding the avalanche at all times, in fact, there was no snow on the tent that they abandoned. Not only did there be no avalanche, but there was not even heavy snow here. Otherwise, the search and rescue team would not have found those footprints. So what were they hiding at that time?
Slashed tent
Some people think that there were some carnivorous animals at that time, which seriously threatened their safety. In order to prevent them from being taken over, they broke the tent and fought together. Some people even speculated whether a group of people would force them to leave the tent by force. Because they were less dressed in the tent, they were frozen to death after they came out. As for traces, they could easily be erased on the snow, but this statement pushed the clues to the murderers who might not necessarily exist, and they had almost no help in solving the case.
The photo in the camera
The police lack the most now is clues. Fortunately, after the rescue of professionals, some of the films in the camera still retained the picture, but the pictures on the photos shocked everyone. One of the photos was taken in front of the sky, but due to incomplete photos, it is suspected that there is a light source for the business, but the specific appearance is no longer visible. As soon as the photos were released, many people hanged it with UFOs.
Orange light ball
Some people also said that this might be a weapon. The police began to recruit witnesses from the society that day. Soon someone claimed that they had also seen unknown unknown light sources that day. It was still late at night. According to the witnesses, it was an orange ball, which looked like a burning fire ball. This discovery, along with all the previous photos, was handed over to the superiors. I thought it would be taken seriously, but unexpectedly, the superiors directly sent a message asking them to stop investigating immediately.
UFO
The government is not allowed to investigate
The government came forward directly, and the matter was caused by force majeure in the mountaineering team, and the case was closed in a hurry. In a short while, the domestic uproar was in a state of emergency. Many people asked the government to give a reasonable explanation, but the government ignored it. Now people completely felt that this might be caused by them. Combined with UFOs and inexplicable shock waves, they guessed that this would not be killed by accidental injury by the military's weapons.
Soviet missile
and the deceased's clothes were radiated again. However, the military tested the missiles, and everything seemed to have become reasonable. Seeing that the public opinion did not stop, it became more and more intense. Not only was the military dragged in, but even some government agencies seemed to have become the masterminds. Finally, they all jumped out and said that there had been no weapon tests before and on the day of the incident, and a lot of evidence was produced, such as no explosives were checked on the mountain, and if a bomb was attacked, even if it was only affected, they might die instantly.
The crowd of people attending the funeral
Forensic test, these people died differently, and the distance between the places and places of deaths was very different. The suspicion of the military was gone, but the government did not restart the investigation. Although the families of the victims were very dissatisfied, there was no way. They could only spend money to ask someone to investigate. Although the impact it brought was huge, there was still no reliable conclusion. In the end, only scattered people were left, and more were explored as an unknown event.
Sphere Lightning
In the later period, countless enthusiasts proposed various hypotheses to it. In addition to the murders and UFOs mentioned earlier, they also proposed a special weather disaster, such as infrasonic , spherical lightning, and other things that come and go without a trace. This is because after , the collapse of of the Soviet Union, although some related records were lost, the former government's blockade of this matter also disappeared, and some photos from the time appeared again.
The last photos taken by
In the late 1990s, a British writer released a set of photos. It is said that these were photos banned by the Soviet government on the grounds that it would be unsettling. However, since investigators at the time said that the negative film had been destroyed, no one could determine the authenticity of such photos. However, judging from the photos, there were indeed unknown luminescent objects in the sky at that time, which was consistent with the light ball described by some witnesses at that time, and it seemed that they were not far from the photographer.
suspected bigfoot photo
This kind of light ball that is constantly glowing, is still burning constantly, which is very similar to spherical lightning . In some photos that appeared later, the figure of Bigfoot appeared, and the saying that the team members were killed by the monster appeared. However, these things that are unsolved mystery can add a little mystery to the event, no one will investigate it in depth. In this way, there is evidence from several parties, but none of them can reasonably explain all the abnormalities of the event.
official announcement result
restarts investigation
The Russian government is naturally the same. They directly designated this matter as an accident and abandoned all the information related to the mystery. This is also because of the continuous appeals of many people, coupled with the requests of the victim's family, the government decided to re-invest the investigation after careful consideration and give everyone a result. Finally, on July 11, 2020, the Russian Attorney General announced the investigation results of the most bizarre mountaineering accident. However, because the incident has been too long, a lot of evidence has disappeared. Even if the results are different, it is definitely the closest to the truth.
bad weather
also used a large number of survey experts to investigate the site of the incident that year nine times. The final confirmed results were indeed related to the avalanche, but not all caused by the avalanche. It was more because of the bad weather at that time. According to the data, the nine people encountered strong winds shortly after going up the mountain, which made them constantly deviate from their original route and approach the Death Mountains step by step. After the blizzard was temporarily suspended, they were exhausted and chose to camp on site.
Schematic diagram of the location of five people
But after they returned to the tent, they might have seen an avalanche nearby. They were afraid that they would be affected, so they hurried to a safe place. Time was tight that many people did not wear clothes well. In order to escape as soon as possible, even the tent was cut. After they went to a safe place, the partners who were not well-dressed in the clothes were so cold that they wanted to go back to get clothes and supplies, but unfortunately, the strong wind was blowing again at this time, and the snowflakes made everyone unable to look directly in the distance, so someone climbed up the tree to find the direction of the camp.
Sign up fire
This is also consistent with the investigation report at that time. They were unable to go back for a while and raised the fire. They wanted to withstand the wind and snow before going back. However, the temperature at this time had reached below minus 30. Those thin-clothed people could not hold on at all. So two people were frozen to death. Once they died, everyone did not dare to continue to bear it. They wanted to find a new way out. The differences also unfolded here. Some wanted to go down the mountain directly, while others decided to go back to the camp.
died on the way
Finally, they were divided into two teams. In order to improve the possibility of survival, they took off the clothes of the dead and arranged the bodies neatly. Then they divided into two teams and set off. Although the distance between the tree and the tent was not very far, in the wind and snow, the direction was difficult to grasp. When the three of them were looking for and moving forward, they were frozen to coma one after another, and finally fell not far from the camp. So these people were indeed frozen to death.
fell into the stream
The same applies to the other four people who decided to go down the mountain directly. They lacked auxiliary equipment and walked forward with deep and shallow feet. In addition, they were eager to go down the mountain and walked on a more dangerous road. The wind and snow also affected their physical strength. In the end, several people helped each other forward, but they stepped on the air behind and fell seriously injured or even died. Even though some people did not die in an instant, they died quickly because of their serious injuries.
Variation camp lamp
As for the disappearing tongue and eyeballs, it may be caused by sharp rocks during the fall down, and there is a stream below. After falling into it, these were quickly taken away by the water flow, so that they were not found. The radioactive substances on the clothes were better explained. Most of the mountaineering team members at that time would use a special fuel lighting so that they could ignite on the mountains with bad weather. This fuel itself has a certain degree of radioactivity and would be wrapped in special things, but it might be because of panic that its special outer packaging was damaged and stained on the clothes.
The photo taken by the search and rescue team
still has mysteries
This explanation is indeed very reasonable, and many people agree with it, but there is another incomprehensible thing among them. As a mountaineering enthusiast, don’t you know that even if you escape from the tent and have no clothes and food, you cannot survive? According to the records at the scene, it can be seen that the clothes and food are at their hands at that time. Even if they are anxious, they can bring a piece of clothing. In this way, even if they don’t have time to wear it on the spot, they can quickly put it on and restore their body temperature after getting rid of the crisis.
strange photos in the camera
So many people think that there was absolutely something that threatened their lives and was not even enough time for them to pick up a piece of clothing. This report did not mention the unidentified luminescent objects seen at that time. If it was really not the government's own reasons, why did these photos be banned? After all, until now, these UFO sightings are still emerging one after another, and no country does not allow public discussion.
The team member when he set out
, and the Soviet government quickly characterized it as force majeure at that time, it is hard not to doubt that he may indeed know something. This may even be its masterpiece, such as some secret weapons hidden by the military. Of course, these are all speculations. In addition, more than 60 years have passed, and the truth of the matter may never appear again. All kinds of speculations today, including the government's explanation, cannot convince everyone.

Conclusion
This incident has also been keen on this matter in history. People have always been keen on discussing the truth of the incident, but because all 9 people died and there is a lack of witnesses, everything they experienced at that time was destined not to be known to outsiders. They also buried all the subtle evidence with layers of white snow. This incident was later called the Diyatlov incident . To this day, it is still the most strange and bizarre mountaineering accident in human history.
cemetery
The bodies of these nine people were also buried in a cemetery in Sverdlovsk Oblast. They were full of youth in the photo and probably wouldn't have imagined that this journey would be the last stop in their lives. Although the truth of the matter cannot be found, this incident also warns people not to conquer some dangerous places at will. Protecting their lives is the most important thing.
