History

There were conflicts in the past between Tyokhtyur and Tomtor villages regarding possession of Suullar Myraan.^{[citation needed]}

An almost complete skeleton of a woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) was found in 2015 at the foot of the hill. Analysis of spore-pollen from rock samples of the site indicated that the climate of the area at the time that the mammoth lived was warmer than in present-day times.^[2][3]
