For more than 65 years, historians and researchers wrestled with the strange conditions surrounding death near the slopes of the fateful kholat sykhl.
Dr. Peter Bartolumi, a professor of technical sciences who personally knew the fateful group, and considered joining his mission, foot His own hypothesis at the conference.
After rejecting the previous suggestions ranging from ice collapses and attacks by the fire convicts to test the secret weapons, Professor Bartolome proposed a “technical phenomenon” linked to the exposure to nitric acids as a catalyst for terrifying events.
Speaking at a press conference, Bartolome indicated that there are no external football traces at the scene, with the exception of the paths of the hikers themselves and their tents. He said that this absence of external interference indicates an internal factor and perhaps chemical. Moreover, he pointed out that the fingerprints that were left in the snow indicate a form of thermal effect.
“Since the feet were printed, there were tracks, which means that there could be some thermal effect,” Bartolome explained.
“But this thermal effect is unlikely on the long distance they escaped. The science indicates that this is often linked to exposure to nitric acids on the surface. In terms of metaphorical, salt is sprayed on the snow, becomes moist, and the effects of feet appear, then freeze in frost. This is the only correct scientific explanation of what happened.”
Bartolumi believes that something human, not natural like an animal or a storm, causes a chemical reaction that includes nitric acid in the region.
It suggests that whatever this “technological” thing, it has interacted with the environment in a way that produced nitric acid or had a similar effect. This may explain the reason for the hikers feeling a burning feeling (such as acid can cause), and why there were unusual snow paths indicating a heat source (as some chemical reactions produce heat), and why there were no signs of conflict with others.
Official criminal tests at that time concluded that the majority of hikers surrendered to low body temperature. However, the annoying details, such as severely explained severe injuries caused by some victims, and the discovery of bodies in varying cases of dislocating her clothes, one tendency from her severed tent – including a young woman who lacks her eyes and tongue – fed decades of strange theories.
In May 1959, the Office of the Prosecutor Sverdlovsk Oblast closed the criminal investigation, and concluded that the hikers were victims of a “overwhelming natural force”.
However, the ongoing public interest and many appeals led the Public Prosecutor’s Office to reopen the case in 2018. In February 2019, on the commemoration of the tragedy, an actor stated that no criminal element was found, and natural phenomena such as a hurricane or snow -collapse are still initial theories.
