Assuming the remains are his, I suppose nothing but bone was found. No embedded rocks, no rocket, nor bomb shards, no lead and no suspiciously high levels of radiation on hands or anywhere else. I have a distinct feeling this thread reinforces those who advocate for conspiracy, seeking proof from those bones.
If I read the forensic report on DyatlovPass.com correctly, he was dead before any healing could commence. And that points to post mortem crushing injuries.

If I remember correctly, the exhumation was done by request of Zolotarev's family , this was independent to the mystery, although there might have been some outside pressure to do so. I'm sure this has been discussed in threads on the forum. ( I remember looking ).
The autopsy reports seem to be consistent with what we find, that includes who was wearing what , what was in their pockets and under their clothes.

I still believe it odd for these bones to be dug up and looked over. So far whatever they were supposed to prove has made no significant impact one way or another. If you don't know where you are going, how will you know when you arrive?

« Last post by Ziljoe on May 10, 2024, 04:42:38 AM »So I want to ask about measurement units. In English texts, instead of height in centimeters, I meet only feet and inches.
To understand what this means, I bookmarked the correspondence table.
https://www.hockey.dn.ua/index.php/tablitsy-razmerov/155-tablitsa-perevoda-futov-i-dyujmov-v-santimetry
172 cm = 5′ 8″
173 cm = 5′ 8″
174 cm = 5′ 8″
that is, the English use archaic, coarser units of measurement.
I encountered such sloppiness and inaccuracy in the Russian language only in the story “Mumu” about the growth of Gerasim (writer Turgenev).
Does this mean that the English crime report will record Zolotaryov's height as 5′ 8″, which makes one suspect an even greater discrepancy with what was found in the grave?
They (UK)probably would have reported his height as 5'8" in 1959. The measurement of
human body height varies throughout the day for a number of reasons. This variation can be over 3 cm, so that's over an inch. There will always be discrepancy on someone's true height throughout their lifetime and daily.
Centimetres are used to measure height in the UK but people know what 6 foot tall means , 6 feet also gives status due to its history, also , 6 inches seems to be an important measurement......
Some things are still measured and manufactured in inches but this is mostly to do with the history of what's been manufactured. I use metric in manufacturing and medical instances but would say I'm 6 ft tall as opposed to 182.88 cm tall. It's just a bit of tradition, I wouldn't get hung up about it.
