Hyperborea on a modern map. History of Russia and Hyperborea

The death of the old and the creation of a new world

Almost all of the above and many other legends about the appearance of the moon, the sun, the change in the direction of the movement of the stars, the fall of fiery bodies to the earth, the fires that engulfed it, the immersion of the Earth into darkness, the appearance of new heaven and earth, the creation of new people are accompanied by the assertion that all these events occurred during the change of the old and new worlds. The new world is called "the world of people" almost everywhere.
The old world in some legends (Slavic, Scandinavian, Iranian, Old Testament, South American, apparently Egyptian, Japanese, etc.) is called (or considered, although not called) the first world, in others - the second (legends of the Hopi Indians, Arawaks , Maya, apparently, Sumerian legends, etc.), in the third - the third or fourth (legends of the Maya, Aztecs, most Indian and Chinese legends), in the fourth - the fifth (Aztec legends), in the fifth - the sixth and even seventh ( some Indian legends). But this does not change anything at all, because the mythology of most peoples living on Earth says that in the old world there were no real or “new” people yet (their creation fell on the border of the old and new worlds). And the old world, according to the legends of the Maya, Nahua and Aztecs, as well as Indian, Chinese, German-Scandinavian and other legends, was inhabited by differentgiants (and ) who were vegetarians.
In the mythology of many peoples of the world, the old world is compared with Paradise (and). So, in Slavic legends it is said that on the first Earth, which was called with a dagger, there was eternal spring (there was no night yet), everything bloomed and smelled sweet.After the death of the first world, Svarog raised his chamber up and protected it with an icy firmament. And on top of the firmament he created a new one,a more beautiful Azure world and transferred Paradise-Iriy there and led a new road there - Star Trek, along which the Raya-river flows, so that by this way the worthy of Raya-Iriya can reach it.Then Svarog flooded the burning Perst with water, put out the fires, and from the destroyed, dead Azure world created a new world, a new nature, and called it the Earth, which means "to be in suffering".
In ancient Iranian legends, it is also reported that the first world created by Ahura Mazda was the worldlight, heat, peace and life.Then it was destroyed by Angra Mainyu, who created death, winter, cold, flood. Ahura Mazda saved people from all these hardships by building a shelter for them underground.
In the legend of the Hopi Indians, it is stated that the Second World Tokpa or Dark Midnight (corresponding to the Fourth World Age of the Aztecs) was not as perfect as the first, but was also beautiful in its own way.
In contrast to this, in"Popol Vuh" Mayaand most of the Aztec codices, the Fourth World is described in the darkest colors. According to some Aztec legends, the Third World Age (Second Mayan World), according to others - the Fourth (Third Mayan World) was a world of endless bloody wars, hunger, cold and disease. To this we can add "and darkness", if we extend it to at least part of the Fourth World Age. Gods, demons and "old" people began to mercilessly destroy each other.
According to the "Vatican Code A", in the Fourth World Age there was a war between the gods and there was a terrible famine on Earth. Many Sumerian, Indian and, apparently, Chinese legends tell about the same.
So, in the Sumerian myth about the creation of people, it says:
« In the days of old, when the heavens were separated from the earth, in the old nights, when the earth was
Heaven separated, the tribe of celestials multiplied and from lack of food
Suffered about. Immortal foremothers pleaded,
begging her to satisfy their hunger. Nammu was awakened by Enki:
- Wake up, my son! Sleep away! Deliver the gods from torment!...
... You did not make helpers who would take your worries on your shoulders ...
… Of people …Let them be similar in appearance to your brothers, but they do not know immortality».
The Akkadian and Babylonian poem “When Above” tells first about the long period of carefree life of Marduk in his heavenly palace, and then about those times when the gods began to endure hunger and cold and came to him for help. Marduk decided to create "men" to feed the gods, and went to Ea for bones and blood. Having sacrificed the dragon to King, he blinded "people".
And here is another Sumerian myth on the same topic - about the battle of Ninurta with the army of the Kuru country,"which knows no return" (dragons and other chthonic forces), which I compare with Indra's son Arjuna in the book " The Earth before the Flood - the world of sorcerers and werewolves":
“The waters of death fell upon the glorious city of Ninurta, flooding the earth, blocking the path of the water of life. Then the gods were alarmed, carrying baskets on their shoulders and loosening the earth with hoes. Famine struck the country, for the poisonous waters of death flowed through the canals. The highlanders descended after them, destroying everything in their path, turning people into slavery.
The myth of Ninurta describes in vivid colors what was happening on Earth at that time.War, destruction, devastation, land and water were poisoned.
What was the reason for such a different attitude towards the lost world among different peoples, I will tell in the final part of the work.
And now I repeat thatthe new world, unlike the previous one, has become contrasting and polar. Another sun, moon, seasonal and climatic zoning, glaciers, deserts, etc. appeared in it.
Thus, in the Avesta it is reported that formerly motionless « the sun began to move across the sky and regulate the change of seasons in accordance with the truth-asha.
The Sumerian myth "On the Mountain of Heaven" states that after the god Nanna (Moon) born in the Earth ascended to heaven, he began to show the change of times to mortals.
In the Egyptian world, "Ra continues to create the world" it is said that at the moment of the transfer of the earthly throne to Geb (the new Sun) by Ra (the old Sun), he announced:
“- Let the snakes and my enemies know,” the god of the gods proclaimed, “that although I am moving away, yet I shine over them. You, Geb, will now be the ruler of the earth!
Thus ended the era of the earthly reign of Ra-Horakhti. The era of the reign of Geb has come.»
According to another myth, Ra abdicated in favor of Thoth (the moon god). However, Thoth did not agree to reign alone, and then the gods divided power: Ra and Thoth began to replace each other on the throne, so the time of day began to change.
In the Scandinavian legend about the last battle of the gods, Ragnarok, it is said that almost all people died in a fire and flood. However, our planet has been reborn: a new sky, a new earth, and a new underworld have arisen. The younger gods survived and settled the restored Asgard (Vidar, Vali, Magni, Modi, the resurrected Balder). Two people also survived - the man Livtrasir and the woman Liv, who laid the foundation for a new humanity.
The land, previously raised from the sea, plunged back into it, ice and fire destroyed the universe.
The book of Genesis, the Book of Enoch, and the main Kabbalistic book, the Zohar, also contain an indication of a catastrophe that most likely occurred at the turn of the Fourth and Fifth Aztec World Ages. This catastrophe happened during the time when the fallen angels (and) were on Earth - the sons of God, the guards, the Nephilim and their descendants - the Rephaim, and expressed in descending from heaven the sun, moon, and stars and subordinating them to the fallen angels (as before they were subject to the Holy One).
According to Kabbalistic teachings, the previous world perished as a result of the catastrophe., "which preceded the present, but died before its occurrence" The punishment of the fallen angels was their imprisonment underground.
As the final "chord" of the creation of a new world, one can cite a Chinese legend about the reign of the legendary emperorZhuan Xu. According to him, Zhuang-hsu instructed the spirit Chun (Jun) to rule the south, the sky and spirits, and the spirit Li - the north, earth and people, so that people and gods would not mix, and order reigned everywhere. By order of Zhuan-hsu, Chun and Li interrupted the communication between heaven and earth, and people could no longer ascend to heaven.Light and darkness began to alternate sequentially, and, as the legend says, calmness came in the world of people and in heaven.

This is how God feeds!

The sadhus went on until they came across a village where they stopped for the night at the Maruti temple. As a rule, they were content with one hot meal a day. In the evening, Ramcharandas, if he could, would eat some light food. Almost in all the villages of Maharashtra - and read, and in all of India, there is a temple and a dharamshala adjoining it. During this journey they invariably spent the nights in the temple or in the dharamshala and always set out early in the morning. They made their first stop for "lunch" in that roadside village where noon found them.

The next day they were approaching a village where they were going to stop for the day.

“Ram, have you forgotten that we don’t beg anymore?” – just in case reminded Ramdas. - Rely completely on God in this matter. Let's just go to the temple, sit quietly and get busy chanting His name.

Entering the village, they directed their feet towards the Vitthala temple and sat on the veranda. The time was past noon. A local resident entered the temple and, seeing the sadhu, asked: “Why are you sitting here inactive? Now it's lunch time. Go to the community of brahmins and beg there.”

Ramdas did not answer, Ramcharandas also remained silent. The man left. Another half hour passed. With all his appearance, Ramcharandas showed that he was very skeptical. About ten minutes later another man entered the temple.

- Have you had lunch yet? – followed question. - Hearing the negative answer of Ramdas, he asked:

“And how are you going to get food?”

“God will send,” Ramdas replied modestly. “Looks like his words went to the address.

“This God you are talking about obliges me to invite you to dinner at my house,” the friend assessed the situation. - But the difficulty is that I am from the caste of tailors. Maybe you don't want to accept food from my hands.

“You are the Lord in the eyes of these sadhus,” Ramdas hastened to assure him. “Therefore, there can be no objection.

“I’ll be right back,” he replied and disappeared, only to reappear almost immediately with a bucket and a rope. He took the sadhus to the well and helped them wash, after which they went to his house, which was a few yards from the temple. The tailor's wife and children met them with great joy and warmth and heartily fed them a hearty dinner. Leaving the house, they returned to the temple and rested a little, and then set off again.

On the way, Ramdas asked Ramcharandas:

“Well, don’t you believe that God himself fed us with such love?”

Ramcharandas was not inclined to enter into conversations and remained silent. A day has passed and another has come. By noon, they approached another village and took refuge in the local Vithoba temple. The sun has passed the zenith. Time flew by quickly and approached one o'clock. So far there have been no signals for dinner. Ramcharandas fidgeted uneasily, his patience running out.

“Swamiji,” he couldn't help it, “this time Vithoba hesitated a lot. I'm afraid he completely forgot about us.

“Stop thinking about food, Ram,” urged Ramdas. “Just remember Him. Let's submit to His will.

After waiting a little longer and making sure that no events were coming, Ramcharandas said that it would be better to take a nap. He lay down, covering himself with his head, but what kind of sleep is there if his stomach cramped from hunger? The guy every now and then turned back the edge of his clothes and looked through the crack to see if anyone was on the street. Every second he checked to see if food was coming. It must have been two o'clock when Ramcharandas suddenly sat up and shouted:

“Swamiji, Swamiji, Vithoba is finally coming – look, here he is in the street, running towards us!”

Indeed, a dark-skinned man hurried to the temple. He went straight to the sadhu and immediately asked if they had lunch (as if he didn't know!). After receiving a negative answer, he ran away and returned a few minutes later with two plates of food. Putting them in front of the sadhu, he began to earnestly ask them to taste the treat. There was no need to persuade them, of course, and they immediately began to have dinner. At that very moment, a group of kirtan performers, about ten people, entered the temple with cymbals, mridanga and veena. While the sadhus were busy with the contents of their plates, they danced and sang Tukaram's famous hymns. What does all this say? God was not satisfied with providing them with food for the body, but provided a spiritual feast as well. How merciful are thy works, O Lord!

This text is an introductory piece.

The myths and legends of ancient Greece say that the gods of Olympus ate the mysterious ambrosia (ambrosia in Homer) and drank nectar, which gave them eternal youth. According to esoteric sources, thanks to them, King Zeus lived a long and stormy life in full health. According to myths, the nectar was poured by the goddess of youth Hebe, the daughter of Zeus and Hera (sister of Ares). On Mount Olympus, she served the gods as a butler - served ambrosia and nectar, later this position passed to Ganymede.
In those ancient times, there were also healing springs to maintain health, “rejuvenating apples”, other fruits and plants that had great healing power were grown. But over time, people forgot about the properties and places of the food of the gods. Climate change, geological catastrophes, the death of states...
Some memory of them still remained, and therefore the spiritual and secular rulers repeatedly organized expeditions to search for mysterious minerals that would be able to prolong their youth and give them eternal life. Unfortunately, for modern science, these substances remain unknown and are perceived by scientists as a beautiful invention, the fantasy of eccentrics.
I have had occasion to speak publicly on the topic of edible minerals more than once. And in support of my hypothesis, I received an interesting message from Alexander, the leader of one of the exploration expeditions. He wrote that he was lucky to see in the second half of the 20th century a unique and mysterious mineral that strongly resembled the legendary ambrosia. This happened during a geological expedition to the east of the country. It included a unique scientist. It was he who showed Alexander the mysterious natural mineral.
In appearance, the mineral looked like a transparent jelly-like glassy substance. According to the consultant, this substance is formed in the lower layers (layers) of the mountains, allegedly due to its extrusion by the huge weight of the mountains from some types of stone layers. The stuff is hard to find, but even harder to keep. It has unusual optical properties. According to the scientist, in ancient times this substance was mined in well-protected areas to ensure the longevity of the rulers. In terms of value, a diamond, in comparison with a healing mineral, was like river sand.
Alexander's letter is another evidence that unique and mysterious minerals exist in our country today, and some modern scientists know about them. However, enthusiasts are mainly engaged in the search and study of minerals at their own expense, time and health.
My many years of research have shown that ambrosia and nectar are formed in the lower layers of the root of the mountains. Ambrosia has a crystalline appearance and stands out with its light color among black rocks. True, its color in different deposits has some differences. And the nectar is represented by outgrowths (stalactites), formed from the incrustations of thick oily juice of dark rocks. It has a yellowish-orange color. The growth of these stalactites occurs in the spring and summer.
For consumption, nectar was mixed with fruit juice in ancient times. In terms of stored life energy, ambrosia and nectar surpassed all nutritious minerals and liquids on Earth.
If we turn to ancient Indian sources, it follows from them that mountains are biological (living) organisms, like plants, and spread through the root system. They grow, grow old and die, gradually collapsing. Mountains, like trees, have their own life system with energy and fluid flows. The butt, lower, part of the mountains is, according to esoteric sources, the most important zone in their life. It is there that deposits of the most valuable substances are formed.
The jelly-like substance comes to the surface not due to its squeezing out under the weight of mountains (as the scientist mentioned above said to the author of the letter - geologist Alexander), but due to natural energy flows. They raise the substance to the top, as in the trees the energy flows raise the juices to the crown. Deposits of valuable minerals are located in the mountains from the Indigirka river basin and further south to Tibet and India. There are also in the Urals, the Caucasus, in Central Asia, Iran.
According to legend, in some places ambrosia and nectar were mined by "fabulous" gnomes, with whom Zeus knew how to negotiate, as well as with the underground titans. Of course, most modern people perceive this with a smile as a myth, but some evidence suggests that, in parallel with the “reasonable man”, apparently some other creatures live in the underground cavities of natural and man-made origin.
From the literature it is known about the "fantastic" case that took place in August 1945 during the offensive operation of the Soviet troops against the Kwantung Army. We emphasize that its reliability is not documented. The Soviet fighter pilot (named Vasily Yegorov) was shot down by the Japanese, but he managed to leave the plane and parachute down in a small grove. According to Vasily himself, he hid in the bushes and fell asleep. Yegorov woke up with a strange feeling - his arms and legs did not obey. Raising his head, he saw that his torso was wrapped in some kind of translucent tape.
The pilot, according to him, found some creatures near him, which could be mistaken for small monkeys, if not for clothes and knives in their hands. According to the pilot, they were people, but very small - their height did not exceed 45 centimeters. The sounds they made were like bird chirps. The pilot had to spend more than 13 years in the underground labyrinth with these little men, who called themselves Hanyangs. Egorov returned to the people in the spring of 1959. Once, after a thunderstorm, he was on the surface, and he was discovered by the Mongols-cattle breeders.
The investigation into the circumstances of his disappearance did not yield any results - no one wanted to take Yegorov's stories about dwarfs seriously. The materials of the case were kept secret just in case. But when X-raying the skull of the pilot, a strange dense formation was found in the back of the head. It turned out that Yegorov underwent a craniotomy around 1945.
Of course, information about this case can be considered as an invention of the journalists of the "yellow press", greedy for sensations, but what about the fact that such a pilot, holder of a military order, really lived after the war in the south of the Voronezh region? And how to explain the phenomenon of the Vlasov labyrinth near the village of Vlasovka, Gribanovsky district in the same Voronezh region? The underground labyrinth discovered by archaeologists could only be used by dwarf people...
It is known that on Earth with a cycle of about 5 thousand years (sometimes 2.5 thousand), humanity is changing the way it eats. More than 5 thousand years ago, humanity practically did not eat animal meat, just as monks, priests and many residents of Tibet, the Himalayas, India and a number of other places on the planet do not use it today. People then consumed a significant amount of mineral food in combination with plant foods. The minerals used in food, having a long lifespan, had a positive effect on the duration of human life.
This is also important for military affairs. After all, one of the problems of military campaigns is often the food supply for fighters, especially in conditions of long-distance crossings in sparsely populated regions of the Earth. Underestimation of this problem more than once led to military failure. For example, it is known that the Persian king Darius I (550 - 486 BC) lost a significant part of his army due to starvation during a campaign in Scythia. He left the Scythian lands without reaching his goal and leaving eight fortresses unfinished in the area of ​​modern Penza. Another commander - Alexander the Great - in the IV century. BC. also suffered losses due to hunger, returning from a campaign in India through the sparsely populated regions of Asia.
I assume that the current quartermasters have heard little about mineral food, and it can be useful to military intelligence officers, soldiers of special forces units.
Well-known travelers and hunters of the past centuries used zeolite lands with healing properties as food additives. These lands are used by animals. There are cases when monks, secluded for meditation in caves for a month or more, ate only zeolite clay, which was taken from the walls of the cave, like Buddha (zeolites is a geological term, from the Greek. zeo - boil and lithos - stone; so they were called from - for the ability to swell when heated. - Ed.).

“You are welcome, come in so that I can treat you.
So saying, the goddess set the table in front of the guest,
Full of ambrosia; crimson nectar was mixed for him.

Homer. "Odyssey".

In Russia, mineral food is also consumed today in the Altai region near the Katun and Akkem rivers and further up to Chukotka. Such white clay is oily to the touch. Water from it becomes white and sweet. The author of the book "Pacific Diary" Boris Lapin wrote that in 1928, at the suggestion of the Chukchi, he tasted a special food land. The earth tastes greasy, disperses in the mouth, becomes soft, like jelly.
By the way, the name Belovodie (White Waters) probably came from the fact that in these places, during spring floods and heavy rains, the rivers became white as milk from the waters running down from the mountains (epic "milk rivers"). These mountains are still rich in zeolitic white clays.
In the old days, earth from the banks of the Katun River, like a valuable mineral, was carted to the steppe, where it was exchanged for bread, and in the spring, when supplies ran out, local residents ate it too. The use of edible clay relieved people of pain in the abdomen, headache, and gave strength.
Currently, various types of edible mineral earth are known. Scientists called the use of the earth as food geophagy ("earth-eating"). It is established that the kaolin present in the clay helps in the treatment of the stomach. The ancient Greeks treated stomach cramps and heart disease by including edible soil consecrated by the priests in their diet.
There is still a lot of knowledge that can help people survive during natural and social disasters, in extreme situations, but, alas, modern man has acquired the habit of believing in the omnipotence of technological progress and modern pharmaceuticals. And only being far from civilization in an extreme situation, face to face with wild nature, a person begins to look at the world differently.

P.S.
Each nation in myths has its own ideas about what exactly the “divine food” should be. Interestingly, however, it all comes down to literally a few types of products. Most of them are well known and available today. For example, this is wild honey, pomegranates, some varieties of apples. Wormwood juice, wormwood itself, and pepper are also mentioned. Ambrosia was also presented as the sweetest barley porridge with honey, olives and fruits.
With regard to the composition of nectar, there is no complete clarity. Perhaps this is a mixture of fruit and berry juices. Some locusts were also used for food. It is possible that these are locusts or some other edible insects. True, there is a version that the buds of a shrub growing in the Middle East were called locusts. To this it must be added that the gods of Olympus used mountain and spring water as a drink. This is the secret of the immortality of the celestials of ancient myths.
But in general, in botany, ragweed (lat. Ambrosia) is a herbaceous plant of the Compositae family, the pollen of flowers of which is a strong allergen. It has 40 species, distributed mainly in America.

British scientists from the Institute of Food Research concluded in 2006 that apples can extend a person's life by 17 years and help rejuvenate the body. Researchers have found the polyphenol epicatechin in apples, a compound that improves blood circulation, boosts immune system defenses, and rejuvenates the heart. It reduces the process of hardening of the walls of blood vessels, which is one of the main reasons for creating the risk of heart disease, heart attack or stroke. The highest concentration of epicatechin polyphenol is found in wild apples.
Since ancient times, apples have been known for their beneficial properties, for example, in rheumatism, gout, atherosclerosis, chronic eczema and other skin diseases. They help strengthen vision, skin, hair and nails. In addition, this fruit contains substances that help the body better absorb iron from other foods.

Knowledge about mineral and plant foods, some futurologists believe, may help humanity survive in the near future. Of course, I wish such dark times never came, but...
The famous Bulgarian clairvoyant Vanga, speaking about the signs of the onset of negative changes on the planet, warned: “Bees will disappear first.” Something similar was said by Albert Einstein, who allegedly warned that the disappearance of bees threatens humanity with extinction. According to the words attributed to him, if the bees disappear, then in four years people will cease to exist.
Vanga's prediction about bees was initially skeptical. They say, where will they go, buzzing and stinging... However, in our decade, the problems with beekeeping in Europe made us remember her prophecy. It turned out that the population of bees in Europe and America is rapidly declining. In recent years, whole families of bees have left the hives, leaving both supplies and their offspring in them. This behavior of insects was named by scientists Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) - Colony Collapse Syndrome. The United States has already lost up to 80 percent of its bee population, and in different European countries this figure ranges from 40 to 60 percent.
Bees, let us explain, contribute to the reproduction of up to 80 percent of plants. The absence of bees makes it impossible to grow a large amount of cereals, vegetables, fruits, i.e. jeopardizes the food supply of mankind. Approximately one third of human food comes from plants that grow only through pollination by these insects.
There are several reasons for the decline in the number of bees - this is the spread of bee diseases (for example, the Israeli acute paralysis virus), and pesticides, and the emergence of genetically modified crops, and exposure to electromagnetic radiation, including from millions of mobile phones. According to some experts, it is electromagnetic radiation of a certain frequency that leads to the disappearance of bees. We are talking about the widespread use in the West of third-generation mobile communication systems with an operating frequency in the range
2 gigahertz (somewhere within this range there may be a “bee wave of death”).

How old is humanity? Modern scientists, as a rule, call the figure 40 thousand years - from the moment the Cro-Magnon man appeared on Earth. This is the standard time interval allocated to human history in educational, scientific and reference literature. However, there are other figures that do not fit into the framework of officialdom. 400 thousand years - such a date was calculated by ancient historians - Chaldean, Egyptian, Greek - and projected onto Russia by Lomonosov.

(Actually, in the scale of events in world history there is another, clearly fixed date that the imagination of modern people is not able to accommodate: according to the rigorous calculations of astronomers and priests of the ancient Maya, the history of mankind began in 5,041,738 BC!)

Literally, the ethnonym Hyperboreans means "those who live beyond Boreas (North wind)", or simply - "those who live in the North". Many ancient authors reported about them. One of the most authoritative scientists of the Ancient World, Pliny the Elder, wrote about the Hyperboreans as a real ancient people who lived near the Arctic Circle and were genetically connected with the Hellenes through the cult of Apollo Hyperborean. Here is what is literally said in the Natural History (IV, 26):

Behind these [Ripean] mountains, on the other side of Aquilon, a happy people (if you can believe it), called the Hyperboreans, reaches very old age and is glorified by wonderful legends. It is believed that there are the loops of the world and the extreme limits of the circulation of the luminaries. The sun shines there for half a year, and this is only one day when the sun does not hide (as the ignorant would think) from the spring equinox to the autumn equinox, the luminaries there rise only once a year at the summer solstice, and set only at the winter.

This country is all in the sun, with a favorable climate and is devoid of any harmful wind. Homes for these inhabitants are groves, forests; the cult of the Gods is managed by individuals and the whole society; strife and all sorts of diseases are unknown there. Death comes there only from satiety with life. There can be no doubt about the existence of this people."

Even from this small passage from the "Natural History" it is not difficult to get a clear idea of ​​​​Hyperborea. First - and most importantly - it was located where the Sun may not set for several months. In other words, we can only talk about the polar regions, those that in Russian folklore were called the Sunflower Kingdom.

Another important circumstance: the climate in the North of Eurasia in those days was completely different. This is confirmed by the latest comprehensive research conducted recently in the north of Scotland under an international program: they showed that even 4 thousand years ago the climate at this latitude was comparable to the Mediterranean, and a large number of heat-loving animals lived here.

However, even earlier, Russian oceanographers and paleontologists found that in the 30-15 millennium BC. the climate of the Arctic was quite mild, and the Arctic Ocean was warm, despite the presence of glaciers on the continent. Approximately the same conclusions and chronological framework were reached by American and Canadian scientists. In their opinion, during the Wisconsin glaciation in the center of the Arctic Ocean there was a temperate climate zone favorable for such flora and fauna that could not exist in the subpolar and polar territories of North America.

The main confirmation of the indisputable fact of a favorable climatic situation is the annual migration of migratory birds to the North - a genetically programmed memory of the warm ancestral home. Indirect evidence in favor of the existence of an ancient highly developed civilization in the northern latitudes can be powerful stone structures and other megalithic monuments located here everywhere (the famous cromlech of Stonehenge in England, the alley of menhirs in French Brittany, the stone labyrinths of Solovki and the Kola Peninsula).

The map of G. Mercator, the most famous cartographer of all time, who relied on some ancient knowledge, has been preserved, where Hyperborea is depicted as a huge Arctic continent with a high mountain (Meru) in the middle.

Despite the meager information of historians, the ancient world had extensive ideas and important details about the life and customs of the Hyperboreans. And all because the roots of long-standing and close ties with them go back to the most ancient community of the Proto-Indo-European civilization, naturally connected with both the Arctic Circle and the "end of the earth" - the northern coastline of Eurasia and the ancient mainland and island culture.

It was here, as Aeschylus writes: "on the edge of the earth", "in the deserted wilderness of the wild Scythians" - by order of Zeus, the rebellious Prometheus was chained to a rock: contrary to the prohibition of the Gods, he gave people fire, discovered the secret of the movement of stars and luminaries, taught the art of addition letters, farming and sailing. But the land where Prometheus, tormented by a dragon-like kite, languished until Heracles (who received the epithet of Hyperborean for this) freed him, was not always so deserted and homeless.

Everything looked different when a little earlier here, on the edge of the Oikumene, the famous hero of antiquity, Perseus, came to the Hyperboreans to fight the Gorgon Medusa and get magic winged sandals here, for which he was also nicknamed Hyperborean.

Apparently, it is not without reason that many ancient authors, including the largest ancient historians, persistently talk about the flying abilities of the Hyperboreans, that is, about their possession of flight techniques. True, Lucian described them as such, not without irony. Could it be that the ancient inhabitants of the Arctic mastered the technique of aeronautics? Why not? After all, many images of probable aircraft - such as balloons - have been preserved among the rock paintings of Lake Onega.

Archaeologists never cease to be surprised by the abundance of so-called "winged objects" constantly found in Eskimo burial grounds and attributed to the most distant times in the history of the Arctic.

Here it is another symbol of Hyperborea! Made from walrus tusk (whence their amazing preservation), these outstretched wings, which do not fit into any catalogs, themselves suggest ancient flying devices. Subsequently, these symbols, passed down from generation to generation, spread throughout the world and entrenched in almost all ancient cultures: Egyptian, Assyrian, Hittite, Persian, Aztec, Maya, and so on - up to Polynesia.

There is no doubt that ancient Hyperborea is directly related to the ancient history of Russia, and the Russian people and their language are directly connected with the legendary country of the Hyperboreans, which disappeared or dissolved in the bowels of the ocean and land. No wonder, after all, Nostradamus in his "Centuries" referred to the Russians as "Hyperborean people".

The refrain of Russian fairy tales about the Sunflower Kingdom, which is located far away, also represent memories of ancient times, when our ancestors came into contact with the Hyperboreans and were themselves Hyperboreans. There are also more detailed descriptions of the Sunflower kingdom. So, in the epic fairy tale from the collection of P.N. Rybnikov, it is told how the hero flew to the Sunflower Kingdom on a flying wooden eagle (a hint of all the same flying Hyperboreans):

He flew to the kingdom under the sun,
Gets down from an airplane eagle
And he began to wander around the kingdom,
Walk along the Sunflower.
In this kingdom of the Sunflower
There was a tower - golden tops,
The circle of this tower was a white courtyard
About ty gates about twelve,
About ty watchmen about strict ...

But the legendary Sunflower Kingdom also has a modern exact geographical address. One of the oldest common Indo-European names for the Sun is Kolo (hence the "ring", "wheel" and "bell"). In ancient times, it corresponded to the pagan solar Deity Kolo-Kolyada, in whose honor the caroling holiday (the day of the winter solar solstice) was celebrated and archaic ritual songs were sung - carols bearing the imprint of the ancient cosmist worldview:

... There are three golden-domed towers;
In the first tower, the young moon is bright,
In the second tower there is a red sun,
In the third teremu, asterisks are frequent.
Young is a bright month - then our master.
The red sun is the hostess,
Asterisks are frequent - children are small.

It was from the name of the ancient Solntsegod Kolo-Kolyada that the name of the Kola River and the entire Kola Peninsula arose.

The cultural antiquity of the Soloveisky (Kola) land is evidenced by the stone labyrinths available here (up to 5 m in diameter), similar to those scattered throughout the Russian and European North with a migration to the Crete-Mycenaean (the famous labyrinth with the Minotaur), ancient Greek and other world cultures.

Many explanations have been proposed regarding the purpose of the Solovetsky stone spirals: burial grounds, altars, models of fishing traps. Latest in time: labyrinths - antenna models for communication with extraterrestrial or parallel civilizations.

The explanation closest to the truth of the meaning and purpose of the Russian northern labyrinths was given by the well-known Russian historian of science D.O. Svyatsky in the past. In his opinion, the passages of the labyrinth, forcing the traveler to look for a way out for a long time and in vain and, finally, nevertheless leading him outside, are nothing more than a symbol of the wandering of the Sun during the polar semi-annual night and semi-annual day in circles or, rather, in a large spiral. projected onto the firmament.

In the cult labyrinths, processions were probably arranged to symbolically depict the wandering of the Sun. Russian northern labyrinths not only served for walking inside them, but also acted as a reminder scheme for conducting magical round dances.

The northern labyrinths are also characterized by the fact that next to them there are hills (pyramids) of stones. There are especially many of them in Russian Lapland, where their culture intersects with traditional Sami sanctuaries - seids. Like the Lovozero Tundras, they are found all over the world and, along with the classical Egyptian and Indian pyramids, as well as mounds, are reminder symbols of the polar Ancestral Homeland and the universal Mount Meru, located at the North Pole. It is surprising that stone spiral labyrinths and pyramids have been preserved in the Russian North at all. Until recently, few people were interested in them, and the key to unraveling the secret meaning contained in them was lost.

More than 10 stone labyrinths have been found so far on the Kola Peninsula, mainly on the seashore. Most of those who wrote about Russian labyrinths reject the very possibility of their rapprochement with the Cretan megaliths: the Cretans, they say, could not visit the Kola Peninsula, since it would take them several years to reach the Barents Sea along the Atlantic Ocean, bypassing Scandinavia, although Odysseus, as you know, reached to Ithaca for at least 10 years.

Meanwhile, nothing prevents us from imagining the process of spreading labyrinths in reverse order - not from South to North, but vice versa - from North to South. Indeed, the Cretans themselves, the creators of the Aegean civilization, hardly visited the Kola Peninsula, although this is not completely excluded, since it was part of the Hyperborea zone, which had constant contacts with the Mediterranean. But the great-ancestors of the Cretans and Aegeans probably lived in the north of Europe, including the Kola Peninsula, where they left traces-labyrinths that have survived to this day, the prototypes of all subsequent structures of this kind.

The path "from the Varangians to the Greeks" was not laid on the verge of the 1st and 2nd millennia AD, linking Scandinavia, Russia and Byzantium for a short time. It existed from time immemorial, acting as a natural migration bridge between the North and the South.

And so the great-ancestors of modern peoples left one after another along this "bridge" - each in his own time, each in his own direction. And they were forced to do so by an unprecedented climatic catastrophe associated with a sharp cooling and caused by a shift in the earth's axis and, consequently, the poles.
