The Temple of the Sun in Crimea: what are its features and how to get to it?

There are places on our planet that attract not only with their beauty, but also with their special strength and atmosphere prevailing there. Since ancient times, they were pilgrimage points. There are several such places in Russia. There are they in the Altai, the Urals, in the Sayan mountains. We will tell about the place of power, comfortably located in the Crimea. In the people it has several names, but the most common is the Temple of the Sun.

Having heard the name of the Temple of the Sun for the first time, many of them represent a real ancient structure, but not fragments of rocks. And that is exactly what the local famous Stonehenge looks like. This is a true creation of nature. The joke is that the collapsed rocks formed a beautiful pattern at the foot of the mountain. In the center is the so-called Altar, and along the circumference there is another group of huge stones.

You can see this sight in all its glory from the top of the mountain Ilyas Kai. In the center there will be a huge boulder, in the people it is called the Altar. On a circle 7 peaked stones settle down. Their height reaches 7-10 meters. The attentive observer will notice that the stones not only form a practically regular circle, but are also inclined at an angle of about 60 degrees from the center. Romantic natures will certainly have an association with a flower with 7 petals.

Unlike most of the man-made sights of Crimea, the date of creation of which is known for sure, this natural object does not have a birthday. Scientists do not give an exact answer to the question of when this unique place was formed.

The reason for the formation, according to geologists, looks pretty prosaic. The stones were randomly laid out in the form of a stone flower as a result of the collapse of part of Ilyas Kaya Mountain. Mystics and esoteric do not support such a legend. According to them, in nature, nothing happens by chance. They consider this natural landmark a place of power.

People come here for inspiration, and for replenishing energy reserves, and in search of answers, and ask for the fulfillment of their cherished desires. It is difficult to say how effective this method is in achieving these goals. Many claim that with all their body they felt an influx of energy and a special atmosphere permeating this place. But even notorious skeptics note the extraordinary beauty of landscapes. Especially mysterious and mystical, this place appears in the rays of dusk and dawn.

In the past, near the Crimean "Stonehenge" was located the church of St. Ilya.

As for the legends associated with this place, the most popular is the story of two brothers. One of them was not honest and righteous and was famous for his “dirty” deeds. For this the gods decided to punish him and turned him to stone. The other was pure soul and thoughts. He loved his brother very much, despite all his faults. Upon learning of the tragedy that happened to him, he prayed to the gods. He asked only one thing, to turn him forever into stone, in order to be inseparable from his brother. The gods could not deny him the fulfillment of desire. And now the brothers are forever frozen in the form of two accrete stones in the Temple of the Sun.

You can see them today.Unlike all other lonely monuments, these literally have grown into each other. An interesting fact is that scientists have precisely established the identity of the rock that these two stones consist of. But if you touch them with your palm, you can notice the temperature difference. A scientific explanation for this phenomenon has not yet been found.

If you look at this landmark from a height, you can see that the composition really resembles a stone flower. From here were born those unique names of this place that can be found among the people. One he recalls Stone Flower, more precisely, a daisy. According to one version, it was in honor of this sacred plant for many nations that the Temple of the Sun was named. The fact is that chamomile in ancient Egypt was considered the incarnation of God Ra (the Sun). Even in antiquity they believed that chamomile grows only in those places where a star fell from the sky.

The Temple of the Sun is located 30 km from Sevastopol. Such close proximity to a large city makes it one of the most accessible places that, according to esotericists, have a special energy. You can get here by walking. This makes it easily accessible and one of the most popular. After all, to get to other similar points, you will need special training and equipment.

If you move on your own transport, then you will need to move along the highway Yalta - Sevastopol. On the map in advance you can see where the stop "Laspi Bay". It is here that you need. Nobody will give you a more accurate address. Arriving here, you will have to leave your four-wheeled friend and go on the path trampled by years for years.

It will be difficult to get lost, as the main trail diverges only in one place, forming a fork. But whichever of the two roads you choose, you still come to the Temple. Only one of them is longer, the second is shorter. If you are limited in time, then choose the path with a blue pointer. Those who want to reflect on the road and enjoy nature should follow the red sign.

From Sevastopol and Foros, guided tours to this place are organized. But do not expect that you will reach the temple by bus or car. In any case, you will have to cover some distance on foot. True, today there can be reached on quad bikes. But most tourists prefer walking on this area.

The route leads uphill, but do not be afraid. Even those who are far from sports or are in old age will be able to overcome it.

It is difficult to name all the reasons why travelers go to the Temple of the Sun. But there are several main groups.

The first go there to enjoy the beautiful scenery and unusual composition of ancient boulders. Others are attracted to the mystical side of the sights. At the same time, certain rituals and traditions have been formed over the years that should be carried out when visiting this unique place.

In confirmation of the fact that the place has a special energy, its admirers cite the fact that it was here in the recent Soviet past that the Germans organized a research center. But according to legend, the Temple of the Sun helps only those whose intentions are pure and not self-serving.

Whether you see a mystical meaning in this or are inclined to assume that this is an accident (or even an accident) is not so important. Going on a journey, do not expect that a miracle will certainly happen to you or you will instantly reach enlightenment.Just surrender to the silence of these places, admire the beauty of pristine nature, remember that man is also an integral part of it. Such a positively colored emotional vacation will definitely have a beneficial effect on the mental state.

The altar is a place of sacrifice. But don't get scared. In this case, it is recommended to take with you any flower that will be your offering. Even at the beginning of the article, we said that the place is compared with the opened chamomile flower. Its something worth taking with you. Also, any yellow flowers will do, for it’s not for nothing that they have a tinge of the heavenly body.

There are no clear recommendations for conducting the ritual of presenting gifts. Therefore, today on the Altar you can see fruits, coins and personal items. If this trend continues, and the flow of tourists will increase, then in the future this place is precisely threatened by clogging. Therefore, give preference to just daisy.

It is believed that this place has a special meaning and power at dawn. And this is quite logical. The Temple of the Sun is gaining strength from its heavenly patron when it appears in the sky. One important rule to remember. Whatever your desire, it should not harm others. Also, do not ask about the fulfillment of selfish desires.

And if the previous unspoken rule is very clear and logical, then another one causes more disagreement. It says that you should not dream that you yourself will not be able to master. That is, before you want anything, you must conduct internal work and understand your capabilities. This also has a deep meaning that everyone interprets in his own way.
