Shikhany is piles?
In the Western part of Bashkortostan are often found detached hills.
The most famous is the Shihan.
Here's another picture.
Look what Wikipedia says:
Are the remains of a barrier reef formed in the warm sea early epoch of the Permian period. The sediments are fossils of ancient plants and animals.
Stop. So still remnants of the reef or sediments? It is two big differences.
Here is a view of the barrier reef from above.
It is evident that coral reefs are formed in relatively shallow water because they need oxygen and light. And nowhere observed sharp peaks.
Here is the coral island for example.
And where is the similarity with the Shihan?
And now look at the piles. Here is a quote from Wikipedia:
Heap or terrigenic (FR. terri — the spoil heap, FR. conique — tapered) — blade, an artificial mound of waste rock extracted in underground mining of coal and other minerals, the mound of waste or toxins from various industries and the combustion of solid fuels.
Donbas residents see a lot of such dumps.
I foresee objections. After all, bashkirskie Shikhany are composed of limestone. What kind of limestone dumps are?
It's very simple.
Fluxes, or fluxes, are called impurities are added in the smelting of metals to formation of slag appropriate degree of fusibility. However, often fluxes are also called impurities, added with the aim to expand that, or the other metal compound or dissolving the metal or its compounds in the mass of the added substances, etc. (see slag and scrap). The choice of flux depends on the nature of melting and the composition of the ores. For example, if the ore is rich in alumina and silica, the flux should be calcareous (containing lime)
That is, the Shihan may be a waste of metallurgical production or mining.
And it is quite consistent with the theory that the Earth is practically solid careers.
At least I think so.
Just begs the question one more circumstance. If this area was an ancient sea. where did it go? After all, according to the Baltic system of coordinates, the height of this place, about 100 meters above the sea level.
It means the territory where the Shikhany, should be lowered to at least 120 meters, that she was again under water. But then from the territory of Eurasia, only the mountains will remain. Everything else will flood. Where animals and trees to grow?
I repeat this is just my thoughts out loud and no more. And it is not necessary to throw in me rotten eggs. I may be wrong.
Though.....
