The Guinness Book of Records has recognized Lake Baikal in Russia as the deepest lake in the world, with a surface area the size of Belgium and storing up to 20% of the planet’s fresh water. Therefore, this place also has special names such as “Fountain of the World”, “Moon Lake”, “Beihai”, “Russian Pearl”, “Innumerable Sea and Lake Team”.

Lake Baikal is untouched and hides many things that few people know about, which is why it also attracts many tourists who are passionate about exploring. In winter, Baikal is covered with a large expanse of ice, surrounded by vast and majestic landscapes.

The vast lake combined with the thousands of miles of snow-capped mountains creates a

There are many ɩeɡeпdѕ surrounding Lake Baikal. The most special of them is the story of up to 1,600 tons of gold at the bottom of the deepest lake in the world.

In 1917 AD. C., when Tsar Nicholas II was almost extinct, many nobles representing the old feudal forces in Russia attempted to collect a large amount of gold and silver treasures to migrate west. . Passing Lake Baikal, they encountered an enemy pursuing them. At that time, the nobles had left a total of 1,600 tons of gold to sink directly to the bottom of Lake Baikal.

There is also another version that it is the gold that Tsar Nicholas II himself collected and owned. On the way to transport them and hide them elsewhere, the group passed by Lake Baikal but encountered a thaw. Because the lake was too large and he could not escape in time, the 1,600 tons of gold and the escort army sank to the bottom of the lake.

If this is true, why has no one managed to save this enormous amount of gold?

The first reason is due to the structure and location of the lake. In 2015, according to people close to the discovery area, the deepest point of Lake Baikal could reach 1,637 meters, and the total volume of the lake exceeded 2.36 billion cubic meters. To save the investment units the effort is almost impossible.

The location of Lake Baikal is at the intersection of seismic belts. According to the data, approximately every 10 years there will be earthquakes with a magnitude of approximately 6 on the Richter scale and approximately every 30 years there will be catastrophic earthquakes of approximately 9 on the Richter scale.

Some of the largest earthquakes recorded in history include the years 1862 and 1959. For example, in 1960, a magnitude 9.5 earthquake occurred on Lake Baikal, which affected the entire surrounding geological structure and the water level of the lake. .

If this is true, why has no one managed to save this enormous amount of gold?

The second reason is that there are still many species of freshwater animals from the Tertiary period in Lake Baikal, such as Baikal seals, Arctic white trout, Omul white trout, sharks, etc. The vast majority of these fish The person who intended to find the abandoned treasure after hearing that there was extreme damage here too.

If human impact causes partial damage to the lake environment, the biological, plant and even mineral resources of the place may be affected. This could be a game changer for humanity now and in the future.

There are many tourists who visit the lake.

The third reason is: if gold is found during the real recovery, who will this huge gold belong to? Because Lake Baikal was selected as a World Natural Heritage Site in 1996. From this perspective, Lake Baikal seems to belong to everyone and all of humanity. But the indigenous people living around the lake are a minority in Irkutsk. If you look at the border, Lake Baikal is located on the territory of both the Republic of Buryatia and the Irkutsk province. Therefore, people have no way to make a relatively uniform statement about who owns the entire lake.

The inhabitants of the area around Lake Baikal also say that they often saw picturesque scenes on the lake: from castles to trains, boats…

According to legend, this lake is guarded by a divine force that can help prolong human life. Therefore, there are many people who are willing to immerse themselves in water at a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, to be immortal.

There are even many reports related to UFOs and incidents at Lake Baikal. Interestingly, the UFO-related stories here come from secret documents of the Soviet Navy.

According to a 1982 document, a Russian Navy diver reported finding a “group of humanoid creatures dressed in a silver suit” at a depth of 50 meters. The three divers who were pursuing the group of creatures were found dead and four others were injured.

So it doesn’t matter if this assumption is true, or what the truth is behind the mysteries around the lake, just because science and technology are not developed enough, no one dares to think about starting the search. The amount of gold sank deep to the bottom of this lake.
