[Regnum] Archaeologists have discovered traces of a settlement in one of the gorges located in the Dzheyrakh district of Ingushetia, which may be an ancient proto-city. This was reported by the press service of the school of masons and restorers "Heritage".

"In the Galgaevsky Gorge along the Akhk-Khiy (Tetritskali) River, traces of a settlement were discovered, which may be an ancient proto-city - the cradle of the Ingush people. Under an untouched layer of turf, regular stone walls were hidden, indicating previously unknown structures," the report says.

The school of mason-restorers noted that this discovery could change the understanding of the history of the region.

“We discovered not just individual walls, but a whole system of structures, which allows us to talk about the possible existence of an ancient proto-city here,” said Ramzan Sultygov, general director of the Heritage school.

It is specified that earlier in the same area, structures of cyclopean masonry dating back to the second millennium BC were discovered. The new finds, say archaeologists, may indicate the continuity of life in this territory and confirm the hypothesis about the existence of a large settlement that played an important role in the formation of the Ingush ethnic group.
