+ | <para/>After months of speculation, the Russian | ||
+ | government has finally called off its search for | ||
+ | Leonid Kulik and his team of explorers. The | ||
+ | expedition departed in mid-August to investigate | ||
+ | the Podkamennaya River region in the Tunguska | ||
+ | are, site of a mysterious explosion in 1908. | ||
+ | Communications between Kulik and his comrades | ||
+ | at the Academy of Sciences ceased a mere 20 days | ||
+ | later. | ||
+ | <para/>Rescue parties were then deployed and tasked | ||
+ | with the mission of retracing Kulik's path, but | ||
+ | returned empty-handed again and again. With the | ||
+ | harsh Siberian winter starting earlier every year, the | ||
+ | landscape has since become too unforgiving to | ||
+ | traverse. Officials declared that the chances of | ||
+ | survival in this region had withered away to none, | ||
+ | especially given the length of time that had passed | ||
+ | since the geologists first set out. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <center>[Picture of devastated Siberian wilderness]</center> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <para/>The final search party did manage to find | ||
+ | evidence of Kulik's presence near the village of | ||
+ | Vanavara, which included a camera and a page | ||
+ | from his journal which was rolled up neatly and | ||
+ | hidden in the splinter of a tree, its branches stripped | ||
+ | bare over a decade beforehand. The entry read as | ||
+ | follows: | ||
+ | <para/>"The local population here, the Evenki people, | ||
+ | has perpetuated a legend that their god, Agdy, came | ||
+ | down from the heavens in a flourish of anger, | ||
+ | causing the phenomena that was observable for | ||
+ | hundreds of miles around. I fear that they were | ||
+ | more accurate than I had initially believed. There | ||
+ | was a vengeful entity that forced its way into our | ||
+ | atmosphere all those years ago, but God has | ||
+ | nothing to do with it. We will embark on our return | ||
+ | trip to St. Petersburg at the first sign of sunlight | ||
+ | tomorrow morning." | ||
