The history of wars, of which countless have occurred on earth over the past millennia, contains a huge number of mysteries. One of them is the mystery of "living" and "dead" water. And let some of the readers smile condescendingly, saying that all this is pure fiction, alas, we will not have to judge the healing qualities of natural springs (due to the paucity and limitations of our knowledge in this area), but, most likely, our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren...

However, history deals with surprising facts. It is no secret that during long campaigns and after bloody battles, the warriors of ancient armies, in particular the Scythians, effectively used the "improvised" means provided free of charge by nature to heal wounds and strengthen physical strength. Ancient warriors knew that water taken from deep springs, where there were deposits of silicon, quartz, amber and other stones, when moistened with it, wounds contributed to their faster healing. By the way, for the same purposes, the soldiers used certain types of plants, the juices of which had a healing effect on abrasions, bruises and wounds. Moreover, the ancient military doctors very soon realized that a great effect in restoring the vital forces of the body can be achieved by applying water inside, aged in vessels filled with crushed pieces of silicon, rock crystal and other healing minerals.

In general, water is one of the most mysterious substances on our planet. Modern science knows surprisingly little about its properties. Water is different in its physical, chemical and energy properties. She, as it turns out, reacts differently to contacts with the animal and plant world, sometimes giving her vital energy, then irrevocably taking it away.

There are many facts to support this hypothesis. Here are just a few of them. For example, it was noticed that irrigation of agricultural plants (cotton) with underground water increases their yield by 30 percent or more in comparison with water taken from ditches-channels. According to researchers, this is due to the fact that water in outdoor pools more intensively gives its vital energy to the surrounding space under the influence of open areas, wind, etc. In this regard, it is clear why ancient people tried to deliver water from the mountains through underground tunnels, the depth of which, depending on the terrain, ranged from several to four hundred square meters. Only in Iran, the length of such tunnels is more than 160 thousand kilometers... And if you believe the legends, then from the sacred Lake Baikal departs as many as three deep tunnels created by ancient civilizations, through which energy-rich water circulates.

Everyone tries to use healing water. Many people know springs and reservoirs with "live" water seeping from the depths of the earth. Such sources are known in Siberia and the Far East, in the North Caucasus and in the Urals. It is not difficult to identify these places: animal trails have been trodden to them from all over the area, and in those places where such springs are full of water, hospitals and dispensaries have been built. Since ancient times, people have been looking for "living" water based on the presence of centuries-old mighty trees, arranging settlements next to them in the expectation that this will help them improve their health.

Written sources of various peoples of the planet mention the unusual healing properties of water and other liquids based on it, healing wounds, relieving diseases, prolonging life. For example, in the ancient Indian legends "Ramayana" and "Rigveda" it is said about the mysterious divine drink of immortality, which the gods kept in a vessel on Mount Mandara. It also tells how the sage Brihaspati, through spells and herbs, resurrected heroes who died in battle. Even mythical herbs were named: mritasanjivani (literally: reviving the dead), sandhani (healing herb), a mysterious golden-colored plant that grows on Mount Meru, located according to ancient legends "on the Putarano Plateau near the Northern Ocean." The juice of this plant (hauma, soma), according to sources, was able to quickly heal wounds and revive a person, preserve and prolong life.

There are countless examples like these.

In the XVI century, the Spanish conquerors, having learned from local Indians about the existence of natural sources of "living" water on the islands of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, organized a special expedition to find it. They did not find" live " water, but they discovered several islands of the Antilles archipelago and a number of healing mineral springs.

There is also a well-known fact: ancient Scandinavian warriors regularly used a mysterious drink infused with special black fly agarics. After that, the"berserk" warriors (literally: without armor, with bare breasts) showed extraordinary bravery in battles. The state of extreme rage of the "berserkers" lasted for about a day, during which they fought tirelessly.

One of the literary monuments of Russia of the XIV century describes the historical campaign of Alexander the Great to the end of the world along the Traverse (a chain of mountains: Caucasus, Pamir, Tien Shan). There are some interesting lines there.

...Tired of the long campaign, the troops of Alexander the Great stopped to rest at the foot of the mountains, where there were crystal clear water sources. One warrior took a dried fish and went to the water to wash it. When he came to the spring, he threw his fish into it. To his surprise, as the legend tells, she came to life. The young man immediately hurried to Alexander and told him what had happened. Alexander was hesitant at first, but then decided to check everything out for himself. When this was confirmed, his surprise was boundless. By order of the Macedonian, the vessel was brought, filled with water from the spring, sealed and handed over to a servant for safekeeping, strictly forbidding opening it without Alexander's order.

But the servant disobeyed the terrible lord. He was forced to do this by Alexander's daughter, the young Panorea, who used all her feminine charms to find out what was in the vessel. And when she found out, she killed the servant, drank the "living" water, and became invisible and immortal. And then Alexander cursed her...

Of course, all this is very similar to another myth, but everyone knows that many ancient myths were based on real facts.

And there are so many references to" living "and" dead " water in Russian folk tales!

Historical sources have preserved information that many rulers and prominent figures were interested in the elixir of immortality. In Russia, for example, the search for such an elixir was carried out by an associate of Peter the Great, commander-General Field Marshal Ya.Bruce, who was fond of science and black magic. He allegedly created a small amount of miraculous elixir for himself. When Bruce died, according to his will, his body was supposed to be sprayed with this "living" water. But the servant, opening the bottle of liquid, dropped it from his hands, and the liquid, touching his hand, spilled out on the floor... When in the late twenties of our century the grave of J. Bruce was opened for his reburial, those present gasped: one of his hands was incorruptible...

Nowadays, scientists and enthusiasts from many countries of the world are working on the search for the elixir of immortality. Analysis of ancient information indicates that the location of "living" water is associated with mountains. It is known that there are many minerals with a wide variety of chemical elements inside the mountain stone layers. In the same place, in the dungeons, there are energy and water flows, voids, and rifts. Constant reactions take place here. Underground waters, washing minerals in the depths, acquire new healing properties. But there are even more amazing phenomena. Scientists know that stones under high pressure emit drops of liquid from themselves. It is known that rock layers experience the strongest compression and stretching during movements of the earth's crust, lunar tides, releasing an internal fluid that is individual for each type of stone. Sometimes these liquids have a unique energy and healing properties. Such liquids accumulate in the recesses of caves, grow in the form of crystals, growths, combine with other substances, thicken, and precipitate. It is no coincidence that many people, especially those who suffer from respiratory diseases, immediately feel relieved when they enter karst caves: the healing moisture of vapors that saturates the air in these places does its job...

Many mysteries are hidden in the interaction of various energy flows passing through the Earth's crust, the influence of powerful electrical forces, such as lightning, on the formation of" living " water...

The problem of finding "living" water is not an idle thing. Most likely, the healing effect of medicinal springs is not as great as the ancient myths tell about it. But even if these unique liquids can somehow have a beneficial effect on human health, then their search and numerous experiments to obtain the elixir of life are justified and, of course, necessary.
