Is it true that there are 250 thousand bodies at the bottom of Lake Baikal? What's the story behind it?

Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in the world. The lake looks blue, and the scenery here is good all year round. But there is a strange rumor about Lake Baikal, that is, there are 250 thousand bodies at the bottom of the lake. What is this? Why do so many people die here?

When it comes to the rumors of 250 thousand bodies at the bottom of Lake Baikal, we have to start from the October Revolution. At that time, omsk was the seat of the provisional government where the White Army opposed the Soviet government and was occupied by the Red Army. The White Army wanted to seek Japanese help, so it decided to cross Iberia.

At that time, the white army was vast, with troops, people who missed the tsar, many bishops, monks and nuns, and women and children. There are almost1250,000 people in this line, and they are carrying a lot of luggage, including 500 tons of gold.

Even if they travel light, judging from the harsh and cold weather conditions in Siberia, they may not be safe, let alone take their children back to get married. Siberia was very cold, and it was still winter. Only 250,000 people survived in the bad weather.

These 250 thousand people have strong adaptability to the environment, but in the end they have not escaped the fate of freezing to death. Because a group of people arrived at Lake Baikal, they found that the lake was already covered with thick ice. The ice is thick enough for them to cross the ice.

They only considered the carrying capacity of the ice, but never thought about how cold the climate on the ice would be. When they were halfway there, the temperature on the lake dropped to about 70 degrees below zero, which people could not bear without special warm-keeping measures. So 250,000 people froze to death on the lake. The 500 tons of gold they carried later sank to the bottom of the lake.

Many people are skeptical about the statement that there are 250,000 bones and 500 tons of gold at the bottom of Lake Baikal, because a scientific research team made a special investigation and didn't even see the shadow of gold.
