Targim

Targim (Ingush: Тӏаргам, romanized: Thargam[a]) is an ancient city-settlement in the Dzheyrakhsky District of Ingushetia.

[12] It is located in the south of Ingushetia, on the right bank of the Assa River in the Targim basin.

Altitude above sea level: 1080 m.[13] The nearest settlements are: in the northwest — Egikal, in the southwest — Khamkhi, in the south — Gureti, in the west — Barkhane.

On the territory of Targim, remains of megalithic cyclopean dwellings dating back to the II-I millennium BC were found.

[14] According to legend, the powerful tower fortresses of Targim, Egikal and Khamkhi in the valley of Ghalghaï Koashke (“Ghalghaï outposts”) were founded by three brothers, the sons of the legendary Alby (in other sources "Gha").
