Furtoug

Furtoug (Russian: Фуртоуг, Ingush: Фуртовг, romanized: Furtovg) is a rural locality (aul) in Dzheyrakhsky District of the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the area has been inhabited since the 9th century, with a variety of Bronze Age artifacts, such as bracelets, mirrors, earrings, rings, and ceramics, having been discovered in the local necropolises.

In the 18th century, Furtoug was home to several famous builders of towers, cult, and burial structures, including Dugo Akhriev, Dyatsi Lyanov, and Khazbi Tsurov.

The museum showcases a variety of artifacts and cultural items, including antiquities, a traditional hearth, kitchen utensils, old photographs, and documents.

Furtoug is situated in the Dzheirakh Gorge, at the top of a spur of the Table Mountain, on the right bank of the Armkhi (Kistinka) River.
