A swastika carved into a boulder near the Khara-Hora shaft entrance bears the date 28 October 1942 and is associated with Nazi explorers. German forces operated in the Caucasus that year, while Himmler’s Ahnenerbe pursued racial and occult research in the region and on an earlier Tibet expedition. The video attributes to Russian speleologist Arthur Zhemukhov the idea that the roughly 60-metre shaft could ventilate a proposed tunnel network. Its claimed 72 km extent and links to other mountains remain unverified. Neolithic swastika motifs in the area predate the WWII-era carving by thousands of years. 🔺
