Located between the Black Sea resort of Sudak and the small, poetry-rich village of Koktebel, the dome-shaped peninsula (358 m high) attracts with its mysterious and unique charm.

Mythical past

The ancient traditions of the Greek philosophers argue that Cape Meganom (Crimea) is the entrance to Hades - the mysteriously-frightening realm of the dead. In addition, there was a meeting of a one-eyed Cyclops with Odysseus, who, passing through underground caves, seen during the times of strong outflows, entered the kingdom of Hades. Many local people are afraid to come here, frightening each other with stories about a "megalomanian boy", which entices a traveler into the sea depths, or a bleating lamb on the very edge of the cliff. An ancient legend says that the skin of this lamb, caught and sacrificed, has a miracle power: if you sit on it on Meganom, then the physical body attains weightlessness, receiving grace from above. However, according to popular beliefs, the person who was visited by such a "vision" will either soon die or become a skilled healer after a long spiritualizing penance.

Modern realities

From a bird's-eye view or from an airplane, these rings are seen very well. Of particular interest is one modern observation: if the circles suddenly lose color intensity, then the people and animals inside them also suddenly feel a noticeable malaise and anxiety.

In the valley of the same name, traces of human presence dating back to the 2nd millennium BC were found. E. Here, until now, unique evidence of Tavrian culture and ruins of ancient settlements have been found, many ancient stones from which, even in the last century, were disassembled by local residents to private buildings. Over ninety stone dolmens (boxes for burial of members of the Taurus tribe), as well as three-meter menhirs (roughly processed stone pillars) are scattered over the Kapselskaya valley. These cult buildings draw attention to themselves and cause heated debate about their true destiny.
