Visit in 1886 by Explorer Ney Elias

While crossing the Pamira, Ney Elias encountered Lake Rang-Kul. About a hundred feet back from its shore rose a sheer cliff wall. Locals pointed out to him a cave some hundred feet up in which was a mysterious, steadily-burning white flame. The Kirghiz and Shignis called it "Lamp Rock" which Elias interpreted as the meaning of Cheragh Tesh. He trained his goggles on it, noting that he indeed saw the light. He suggested to his hosts that a phosphorescent material must be emitting it from further back in the cave. "...[T]his, I was assured, was quite an erroneous view, the real fact being that vast treasures are stored in it, which are guarded by a dragon with a large diamond set in his forehead, and it is this diamond that shines by day and night." The Nineteenth Century: Discoveries and Explorations Vol. XIV, by Charles G.D. Roberts M.A. Linscott Publishing Company 1904. pp. 424-5 Niaih (talk) 05:24, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
