A village in Kazakhstan suffered from a disease called deep sleep. As you talk to someone and he listens to you with interest, his face starts to pale a little, then he feels dizzy and then falls unconscious.
This is how you may think at first glance if you are anywhere on the surface of the earth, but if you are different, you live in the Kazakh village of Kalachi or the village of deep sleep, whose people fall into a sudden and deep sleep that may reach for days without knowing the reason.
These sleep fits affected 10% of the village’s residents, amid a catastrophic failure of the world’s scientists at the time to explain the phenomenon, including a group of students who entered a deep steadfastness like death for a whole day during school hours, and when they woke up they mentioned a group of hallucinations they saw during their sleep, according to a news portal Today.
As for hallucinations, memory loss, nausea, and the continuation of the seizure for weeks on end, it is considered one of the symptoms of the disease, which official documents in Kazakhstan mention that the first infections were recorded in 2010, while the peak was reached in 2013, and it continued without a clear explanation and increased, which forced the state to take a decision to evacuate the village in March 2015. .
Scientists enumerated various theories to explain the mysterious disease, most notably the excessive accumulation of fluid in the brains of the villagers or their infection with viruses and bacterial infections such as meningitis.
But in the search for new theories to decipher the sudden and long sleep and the return of the village to wake up again naturally, a team of scientists from Nazarbayev University headed by Professor Pieronum Krayb recently ruled out the possibility of poisoning the main water spring of the village with chemicals, while the animals do not drink from it.
Nazarbayev's scientists believe that the material was leaked from the uranium mine that existed since the days of the Soviet Union, unused for nearly forty years, or through raw materials for chemical weapons that the military dug in the ground.
The scientists decided to design a special (dron) and lower it into the mine to take soil and water samples due to the danger of an individual descending into the mine.
This was not the first time that the uranium mine had topped scientific theories; Earlier, the local authorities believed that toxic waste from the mine was buried in the surrounding soil, which prompted the Ministry of Health to examine more than 7,000 houses adjacent to these mines, but they did not find any traces of poisoning.
Among the previous theories that explained the accident was what was stated by Serki Lukashenko, Director of the National Nuclear Center at the Institute of Radiation Safety and Ecology, that carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the air of the village were more than 10 times higher than the percentage allowed to exist in the air, in addition to the presence of the highest percentage in the air.
