Have you ever wondered where the coat of arms of Russia comes from? Yes, from Turkey, Byzantium, Hittites - a double-headed eagle. But on the coat of arms there is George, who kills a snake. This is a Christian legend, it "happened" not here, but in another place in Turkey, but it is based on other ancient legends. For example, about the murder of the serpent Python by Apollo. And this point is right here. That is, this place is depicted on the coat of arms of Russia. This settlement is an ancient temple center of worship and pilgrimage to Apollo the Conqueror. Mausoleums and temples remain here, as well as a foul-smelling mineral spring - the blood of the Python serpent, the link between the world of the dead and the living.
