Dyatlov Pass Mystery Finally Solved And Isn't Good

In 1959, nine Soviet university students set out on a hiking trip into Siberia's frozen wilderness but never returned...

There was no avalanche. It's not an area that gets them and there is no evidence of one. Thier injuries aren't right, nobody was smothered by snow, and the tent was found by sight, still set up. No avalanche.

Actually there is a lot more information about this case. For some reason most youtubers never seem to find. One of the groups patrons worked at a plant that had nuclear substances. And all the nuclear substances were only found on his clothes. The others just removed his clothing once he died for warmth.

I read a book about this case written by a Russian author who interviewed surviving members of the search party and those involved in the investigation. She had access to original documents from the USSR and came to the conclusion that the Mansi were responsible. Fireballs were seen in the area by multiple witnesses and the Mansi were known to place significance on celestial phenomena in addition to imbibing in a powerful hallucinogen in the area during religious rites. A member of the Mansi told one of the investigators some of their people committed the murders in a mania induced by the sight of the fireballs while on hallucinogens. Some of the injuries were the result of someone jumping on their chest. There were also 2 case files, one of which was opened prior to the "official" one and whose investigator was basically told to drop. The Soviet government didn't want the murders to become a scandal because it would harm their message of integration and harmony with the many ethnicities of the USSR, a social goal of the regime. Officials in the nearest town participated in altering the crime scene to throw people off. I know it sounds crazy, but she makes a convincing case. Also, there was zero evidence of an avalanche and it wasn't even considered a possibility by those familiar with those mountains.

I am non the wiser!!! The avalanche theory is strewn with words such as may have, could have, one might also need to see who financed the men that have put forward that theory, I still feel that there's so much more to this story than we are being told

[waynekeebler]

Look at the topography adjacent to the tent. Look at the lack of snow accumulation of snow around the tent. The hikers walked calmly away from the tent. These 3 facts alone discount the avalanche theory. I really don’t know what happened, but whatever theory takes hold, it needs to account for all the facts.

[summerbreeze]

I still think there was a soviet mission (exercise) and they did not know the hikers were there. Cover up. Yes there is a base very very close.Military cover things all the time. All countries. Never in all my years have I heard of radiation burns being caused by an avalanche.

[jackywhipet]

You wouldnt slice the tent in the middle to get out in a snow slab. Something was at their tent door

[stewartcaldwell]

I saw a film in the 70s that documented the hike, made by the hikers, I believe. It was black and white film, which included one scene
of a Yeti watching them from the woods. I still believe it was real, as it showed all the hikers faces. (no sound)

Every time I hear the same thing told twice I'm out. I understand you are trying to make it longer, but I have limited time

Having heard (nearly) all the theories and explanations about this incident, the Swiss study by Johan Gaume and Alexander Puzzin (Nature, January 2021) sounds the most plausible. The students cut into a drift to site the tent out of the wind; a katabatic wind came up during the night and caused a snow slab to break up and slide down over the tent. The team was trapped, some were injured, they panicked, cutting their way out of the tent, and fled the scene fearing another avalanche. After 3 weeks, the snow slab would have disappeared, and the cause of the tragedy would not be obvious to the rescuers.

I find Hadza's explanation to have no credibility. Why would a gang randomly attack hikers in the middle of the night? Where would they have come from and how would they have got there? How would they have known the group's tent was where it was? There was no evidence of such an attack, there was no blood evidence consistent with a frenzied attack. The hikers' belongings were found arranged tidily, with no signs of being ransacked, and nothing appeared to have been stolen. I don't know how she came to this conclusion.

I will say as a Russian child who heard the very first version from her mother, and my mother heard it as a child. They were killed by local Mansi residents, the northern Mansi aborigines, they can do anything if they are angry. For some reason, the Dyatlov group did not guess them, there were signs of ritual murder on the victims. They had broken ribs, without damaging the skin. This is how aborigines break ribs so as not to damage the skin. This was the very first version, but the friendship of peoples was promoted in the USSR at that time, so the case was quickly hushed up. There is no mystery in this incident.

The avalanche theory is simply a cover- up. No pun intended.
I think the radiation was just a smoke screen and this reeks of deception.

[ernger]

You should read the full study, The authors wrote, that the avalanche has more theoretical background and could not explain the dead of the hikers. There were no traces of an avalanche. And two of the hikers were not undressed. And and and....

[ronforrestjr]

Despite extensive searches, no conclusive evidence of a large scale avalanche or extreme wind event has been found at the site. Similarly the injuries sustained by victims such as fractured skulls, broken ribs, missing eyes are not consistent with typical avalanche or wind related trauma. It suggests a more violent cause. The hikers actions, such as cutting their way out of the tent from inside and leaving it partially unzipped do not align with a sudden life threatening situation. Unexplained radiation and their lack of panic when moving through the forest is another factor in disproving the avalanche and katabatic wind theory. There was a cover up and we may never know what happened to these 9 hikers

[kstars]

This story has been changed and embellished so many times by story tellers, no one knows what to believe.

[SarahlabyrinthLHC]

An avalanche doesn't explain the radiation though does it?

[taxationisrobbery]

"The idea of a wild animal attack was also considered, but ruled out due to the LACK of physical injuries." LOOOL

[TheHaratashi]

This will never be solved. Every theory out there has huge issues. No matter which way you look at it, nothing makes sense.

[tyrel]

None of those theories explained the presence of radiation on the hikers.

[iamgod]

We'll never know what really happened to these poor soles. But what ever phenomena caused them to leave their tent in a hurry, it obviously terrified them. We can only speculate what this was. But you can take your pick on what things may have been involved like a family of attacking Almas, Aliens, Ghosts, Bears, or Natives.😊👍
