Targim (Ingush: Тӏаргам, romanized: Thargam[a]) is a city-settlement (aul) in the Dzheyrakhsky District of Ingushetia.[7] It is part of the rural settlement (administrative center) of Guli.[8] The territory of the settlement is included in the Dzheyrakh-Assa State Historical-Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve and is under state protection.

Nomenclature

Some researchers associate Thargam (Targim) with the name of the legendary Thargamos.[9] A. Suleymanov believed that "Thargam" could mean "shield".[10]

Geography

Targim is located in the south of Ingushetia, on the right bank of the Assa River in the Targim basin. It lies at an elevation of 1,080 metres above sea level.[11] Nearby settlements include: Egikal to the northwest, Barkhane to the west, Khamkhi to the southwest, and Gureti to the south.

History

On the territory of Targim, remains of megalithic cyclopean dwellings dating back to the 2nd–1st millennium BC have been discovered.[12] According to legend, the tower fortresses of Targim, Egikal and Khamkhi, located in the valley of Ghalghaï Koashke (“Ghalghaï outposts”), were founded by three brothers, the sons of the legendary Alby (in other sources "Gha"). The youngest of them was Targim (Thargam), who settled across the Assa River.

In the second half of the 18th century (1770s), the German researcher J.A. Güldenstädt listed Targim among the total number of Ingush villages and districts.[13]
