There is a legend that in ancient times there was a country on Earth. And it was great and powerful, and rich and happy people inhabited it ... Alas, now science fiction writers talk much more about this country than scientists. Official science does not believe the ancient legends.

But on the other hand, it is known that history was rewritten many times - in every era, under every government. So it turns out that the more ancient times we study, the less reliable information we have about them. And very little is known about the legendary Hyperborea.

What did the ancients believe?

And they believed that there was once a golden age on Earth. No one fought with anyone, and all peoples lived happily under the rule of a certain Polar civilization. And then they had some kind of discord, and a war broke out between Hyperborea (translated as “beyond Boreas” - the north wind) and its former colony - Atlantis (yes, the very one!). The result of the war was the Flood, and Atlantis went to the bottom of the ocean. Hyperborea also soon died, or at least lost contact with the rest of the world.

In any case, ancient scientists believed that it existed in their times. The Roman historian Pliny the Elder in his “Natural History” describes Hyperborea very colorfully: “Over the mountains, on the other side of Aquilon, live happy people who call themselves Hyperboreans, reach very advanced years and are 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. Homes for these inhabitants are groves, forests; strife and all sorts of diseases are unknown there. Death comes only from satiation with life ... There is no doubt about the existence of this people.

Destructive weapon

The mighty northern country is mentioned both in the Indian “Mahabharata” and in the Iranian “Avesta”, which also tell that its inhabitants are distinguished by longevity, spend time in carefree fun, and old people, having enjoyed earthly joys, throw themselves into the sea. From the top of the sacred Mount Meru, a view of the Milky (White) Sea opens up. There are neither cold nor sultry winds, so the earth gives people a bountiful harvest.

In addition, legends say that the Hyperboreans (like the Atlanteans) had a highly developed technique. For example, they used aircraft. And in their arsenal was a weapon of enormous destructive power. Perhaps its use was the reason for the disappearance of legendary civilizations. But there is no exact information about what destroyed Hyperborea. However, traces of her stay on the planet have survived to this day.

In the wild north...

We do not know the exact coordinates of Hyperborea. But there is no such dissonance of versions of the location, as with respect to Atlantis, either. Most researchers believe that this Land of the Sun was located on the territory of the Kola Peninsula. Hence its name: "kolo" from the ancient Aryan - the Sun. This is confirmed by the unique Mercator map, issued in 1595, but clearly based on more ancient sources. The north of Europe and the entire coast of the Arctic Ocean up to the Bering Strait are well drawn there. But in the center of the Arctic, instead of ice, there is a circular inland sea and four large islands. The description of the map says: “The ocean between the four islands breaks into four straits, along which it rushes to the North Pole and is absorbed by the earth ...”. The islands on this map appear to be quite inhabited and covered with vegetation.

But where did the ice go? Now many scientists are coming to the conclusion that several millennia ago the climate on the northern coast of Eurasia was much warmer than now, and more like a Mediterranean climate. This is evidenced not only by the numerous remains of heat-loving plants and animals, but at least by the fact that every summer migratory birds return there for some reason. Maybe the genetic memory of the warm ancestral home is triggered?

Walrus bone planes

In the middle of the last century, Soviet scientists found some evidence that relatively recently part of the Arctic Ocean was land. Two mountain ranges were found there, the higher one reaching the edge of the ice.

Much says that the inhabitants of the Northern country closely communicated with all the peoples who inhabited Eurasia. It is not for nothing that archaeologists find models of aircraft made of walrus ivory and rock paintings depicting people floating in the air.

stone labyrinths

And all over the north of Eurasia, strange structures are scattered - from the English Stonehenge to the stone labyrinths of Karelia, the origin and purpose of which scientists argue so much. Take the same Solovetsky stone spirals. They were considered burial grounds, altars, models of fishing traps, and even antennas for communication with aliens. As a rule, next to them are small pyramids made of stones. They were discovered in the last century by Soviet scientists, although they have been known to local residents for centuries.

A strange disease - meryachenie.

Oddly enough, the discoverers of the ancient civilization were not historians or archaeologists, but psychiatrists. In the twenties of the last century, the Institute for the Study of the Brain and Mental Activity, headed by academician Bekhterev, became interested in one phenomenon: many residents of the Kola Peninsula developed a disease - “measuring”. This is a kind of psychopathic state, the main feature of which is that patients with uncontrollable impulsivity repeat the words and actions of those around them and carry out the orders given to them, even the most ridiculous or dangerous ones. In all other respects they are perfectly normal.

Scientists decided to organize an expedition in order to understand what was happening on the spot. It was headed by Alexander Barchenko, a researcher at the Institute. In 1922, the expedition reached the area of ​​Seydozero, a place that the northern peoples have long considered holy.

Who is waiting for "Old Man Kuyva"?

The first thing they found there was "Old Man Kuyva". The old man was an eighty-meter image of a man on the steep slope of Mount Kuivchorr. In its style, the image did not belong to any of the known cultures. It is unlikely that it was created by local fishermen or hunters. The painted man spread his arms affably, as if he was waiting for someone. But who - scientists have not been able to find out.

However, as well as why for thousands of years the image has not been erased by snow, rain and severe northern winds.

The next discovery of scientists was a stone column standing in the middle of the gorge and a huge cube next to it.

Expedition leader… shot

Further more. Seidozero and Lovozero, located not far from each other, were connected by an ancient road made of stone slabs. On a hewn stone, which was found on the side of this road, half-decayed signs were distinguished - a trident and an oblique cross. And there was also a picture of a flower resembling a lotus.

Barchenko decided that everything found was traces of Hyperborea.

But the expedition failed to advance further. After the discovery of the first traces of an ancient civilization, scientists began to have bouts of that very “measuring”. I had to hastily leave for the capital, where Barchenko made a detailed report for the Cheka. The text of the report was immediately classified, and the scientist himself was arrested on suspicion of anti-Soviet activities. In prison, he began to write a book about the found Hyperborea, but did not have time to finish it - soon Alexander Barchenko was shot ...

Bridge between eras

But over time, interest in this legendary country only grew. More and more enthusiasts and serious researchers dealt with this issue, more and more interesting facts and inexplicable archaeological finds were received by historians. Already in the new century, large-scale excavations of such cities as Arkaim began to be carried out on the territory of our country. True, they are clearly younger and much less developed than Hyperborea, sung by the ancient chroniclers. But perhaps these cities are the bridge connecting us with our ancient ancestors.

p style="text-align: justify;">It's not for nothing that Nostradamus called the Russians "the Hyperborean people". The main thing is that we do not share the fate of our great ancestors ...

In world history, many legends about ancient states have been preserved, the existence of which has not been confirmed by science. One of these mythical countries, known from ancient manuscripts, is called Hyperborea or Arctida. It is believed that the Russian peoples originated from here.

Hyperborea - the birthplace of the ancient Slavs

Many parascientific authors tried to localize the mysterious continent. There is no confirmation of this, but in theory, the Slavs came from these lands, and Hyperborea is the birthplace of all Russian peoples. The northern polar continent connected the lands of Eurasia and the New World. Various authors and researchers find traces of an ancient civilization in places such as:

• Greenland;
• Kola Peninsula;
• Karelia;
• Ural mountains;
• the Taimyr Peninsula.

Hyperborea - myth or reality?

Many people, even those who are not even deep in history, are interested in the question: did Hyperborea really exist? For the first time it was mentioned in ancient sources. According to legend, a people came from there, close to the gods and adored by them - the Hyperboreans ("those who live behind the north wind"). They were described by various historians and writers from Hesiod to Nostradamus:

1. Pliny the Elder spoke of the Hyperboreans as inhabitants of the Arctic Circle, where "the sun shines for half a year."
2. The poet Alkey in the hymn to Apollo pointed out the proximity of the "solar god" with these people, which was later confirmed by the historian Diodorus Siculus.
3. Hecateus of Abdera from Egypt told the legend of a tiny island "on the Ocean against the country of the Celts."
4. Aristotle united the so-called Hyperborean peoples and the Scythians-Rus.
5. In addition to the Greeks and Romans, the mystical lands and its inhabitants were mentioned by the Indians (“the people living under the North Star”), Iranians, Chinese, in Germanic epics, etc.

Talk about a mythical country could not be ignored by modern historians and scientists. They put forward and continue to put forward their own versions about the Hyperboreans and their culture, compare facts and draw conclusions. According to some historians, Arctida is the mother of all world culture, because in the past its lands were a very favorable place for people to live. A subtropical climate reigned there, attracting prominent minds who, at the same time, were in constant contact with the Greeks and Romans.

Where did Hyperborea go?

The hypothetical history of Hyperborea, as a highly developed civilization, has several millennia. If you believe the ancient writings, the way of life of the Hyperboreans was simple and democratic, they lived as a single family, settled along the reservoirs, and their activities (art, crafts, creativity) contributed to the disclosure of human spirituality. Today, only the north of modern Russia is the remnants of that part of the land that was once occupied by the Hyperboreans. If we compare all the known facts together, we can assume that Arctida ceased to exist:

1. Due to climate change. And the peoples that inhabited the continent migrated south.
2. According to Plato, the disappeared civilization of Hyperborea ceased to exist as a result of a disastrous war with an equally powerful power - Atlantis.

Myths about Hyperborea

Since the existence of civilization has not been scientifically proven, it is possible to talk about it only theoretically, drawing information from ancient sources. There are many legends about Arctida.

1. One of the most interesting myths says that he himself made a trip to it every 19 years. The inhabitants sang songs of praise to him, and Apollo made two Hyperboreans his wise men.
2. The second myth connects the mystical lands with the modern peoples of the north, but even some modern studies prove that Hyperborea once existed in the north of Eurasia, and the Slavs came from there.
3. Another and most incredible legend is the war between Atlantis and Hyperborea, which was allegedly fought with the use of nuclear weapons.

Hyperborea - historical facts

According to the conclusions of historians, the civilization of Hyperborea existed 15-20 millennia ago - then the ridges (Mendeleev and Lomonosov) towered above the surface of the Arctic Ocean. There was no ice, the water in the sea was warm, as paleontologists prove. It is possible to confirm the existence of the disappeared continent only empirically. That is, to find traces of the presence of the Hyperboreans on earth, artifacts, monuments and ancient maps, and such evidence is available.

1. The English navigator Gerardus Mercator published a map in 1595, probably based on some ancient knowledge. On it, he depicted the coast of the Northern Ocean and the legendary Arctida in the middle. The mainland was an archipelago of several islands separated by wide rivers.
2. In 1922, the Russian expedition of Alexander Barchenko found on the Kola Peninsula skillfully processed stones oriented to the cardinal points, as well as a blocked manhole. The finds belonged to an even more ancient period than the Egyptian civilization.

Books about Hyperborea

You can delve into the study of ancient culture and its heritage by reading books about Hyperborea by Russian authors and not only:

1. "Found Paradise at the North Pole", W.F. Warren.
2. "In search of Hyperborea", V.V. Golubev and V.V. Tokarev.
3. "Arctic homeland in the Vedas", B.L. Tilak.
4. "The Babylonian Phenomenon. Russian language from time immemorial”, N.N. Oreshkin.
5. "Hyperborea. Historical roots of the Russian people”, V.N. Demin.
6. "Hyperborea. Foremother of Russian culture”, V.N. Demin and other publications.

Perhaps the modern society cannot accept the fact about the mysterious northern country, or maybe all the stories about it are fiction. Scientific minds skimp on the description of Arctida, and the evidence of researchers is few and not taken seriously, so Hyperborea remains not the only, but one of the most recognizable mythical continents, the mystery of which continues to excite humanity.

The question of the disappeared northern country has always worried scientists.
How did Hyperborea die?
What do the sources of ancient civilizations say?
How did the ancestors of the Slavs survive the global catastrophe?
Where could the survivors go?

The Italian historian Mavro Orbini wrote in his book “The Slavic Kingdom” (1601): “The people of the Slavs are much older than the Egyptian pyramids and are so numerous that they inhabit half the world.” Although the written history of the people who lived before our era does not tell anything, traces of the most ancient culture in the Russian North are a scientific fact. The ancient Greek scientist and philosopher Plato wrote that the centuries-old roots of the Russian people originate in Arctida.

Evidence of the existence of the legendary Hyperborea. Mercator map

Medieval maps in museums around the world show that Hyperborea was located on islands around the modern North Pole. Some scientists are sure that it also occupied Greenland and Scandinavia.

The fact of the existence of the Slavic ancestral home is evidenced by the works of the greatest traveler and cartographer of the 16th century, Gerard Mercator. No one has ever doubted his discoveries, even in our time. How this man could draw up an accurate map of Hyperborea remained a mystery. Indeed, by the time it was compiled (1595), this territory no longer existed.

The cartographer described the legendary northern country as a rounded mainland, divided by huge rivers into four identical parts. Studying the map, modern scientists recognize the territory of the Arctic Ocean in Arctida. An accurate description of the northern part of the coast of America and Eurasia fully confirms the reliability of Mercator's work. Engravings of ancient peoples found by archaeologists also confirm the existence of Hyperborea. The map also has an image of Meru's ancestral mountain. This universal height was at the North Pole. According to declassified information, a mountain was discovered under the water of the Northern Ocean in Russia - a very high one, touching the ice cover. In addition, the ancient map depicts a strait connecting America and Asia. Interestingly, the Russian navigator Semyon Dezhnev discovered it only in 1648. After 80 years, this path was again passed by a Russian expedition led by Vigus Bering. Subsequently, the strait was named after the commander. How did Mercator know about the Bering Strait? How did he get on his card?

Proof of the existence of Hyperborea can also be found in the works of Yakov Gakkel, a well-known Soviet cartographer and oceanographer. His studies of the bottom of the Arctic Ocean confirm the existence of this civilization. According to the scientist, the descendants of the Hyperboreans were the eastern and western Slavs, who settled in the Scandinavian Peninsula, as well as in the northern part of continental Europe.

The catastrophe that befell the northern country

In the ancient myths of the peoples of the world, Hyperborea was spoken of as a "paradise land." For example, the Hellenes called it that because it is located behind the north wind Boreas. They believed that it was the wise Hyperboreans who laid the foundation of modern civilization. Homer described Arctida as a highly developed civilization, and its representatives as giants with Slavic features. The ancient Roman erudite writer Pliny the Elder, who was considered one of the most impartial scientists of his time, called the nationality real. “Civilization lives near the Arctic Circle, has its own culture and is outwardly similar to the Hellenes. The Hyperboreans are a happy people, living to a decrepit age, having amazing legends. There the sun does not set below the horizon for six months. The whole country is flooded with sunshine. Favorable climate, no cold wind. Groves and forests serve as dwellings for people. They do not know disease, strife, hatred. A person dies only when he is fed up with life, ”wrote Pliny the Elder. But Hyperborea has disappeared. What happened? Why did she go under water?

Many peoples of Siberia have legends describing the disaster that befell the "paradise land". Khanty, Mansi, Sakhalin Nivkhs, Nanais - all these peoples talk about the flood. But before this event there is fire from the sky. Then - a sharp cooling, and as a result - the death of all living things.

There is a version that before the "big water" there was a collision of the Earth with a meteorite. As a result, Hyperborea disappeared under water. However, at first it was part of the mainland. Then the entire territory went under water, with the exception of a few islands. Where did the Hyperboreans go? Scientists suggest that one part of the inhabitants of Hyperborea migrated to the southern lands. The other - to the territory of modern Germany, Poland and Belarus. Mixing with the indigenous population of nomadic tribes, new languages, customs arose, cultural heritage changed.

The legends of the Russian Templars say that Lelya (once the Earth's satellite), revolving around the planet in 7 days, fell on its surface. But it didn't fall by accident. He was destroyed in a space battle. It was this fall that caused a global catastrophe, as a result of which Hyperborea died. The earth's axis shifted, which led to a change in climatic conditions, and the Hyperboreans migrated to other favorable places.

According to the astronomical calculations of the ancient Egyptians, as well as the Mayan calendar, the catastrophe that hit Hyperborea dates back to 11,542 BC. The Flood, a sharp change in climatic conditions forced our ancestors to leave their country and settle almost all over the earth. Many teachings that have come down to us from antiquity mention a people in the North who possessed vast knowledge.

Other scientific confirmation of the existence of Hyperborea. Climate

Paleontologists and oceanographers from Russia, the United States and Canada have determined that the climatic conditions of the Arctic (from 30 to 15 millennium BC) were mild. The waters of the Arctic Ocean were warm, no permanent ice existed on the continent. The modern underwater ridges of Mendeleev and Lomonosov towered above the water surface of the ocean. The North Pole had a temperate climate that was favorable for human life.

Migratory birds and their migration

The fact that the climate of the Arctic in the past was favorable is evidenced by the annual migrations of migratory birds. This can be explained by the genetically programmed memory of the warm ancestral home. The current state of the Arctic Ocean floor shows that it used to be a huge plateau with river valleys. Scientists believe: this is the mainland, which once towered over the ocean. If the map of the bottom of the Arctic Ocean is superimposed on the map of Gerard Mercator, the coincidences will be amazing. Therefore, it cannot be called a mere coincidence.

Structures made of stone

The fact that an ancient highly developed civilization existed in the northern latitudes is evidenced by stone structures. So, a labyrinth was discovered on the coast of Novaya Zemlya. This is an exceptional find, because such structures have never been found in these latitudes. Scientists continue to find traces of the life of ancient civilizations all over the Earth, from the Leningrad region, Yakutia and ending with Novaya Zemlya.

Quest for a Legendary Civilization

As history shows, such famous personalities as Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler believed in the existence of Hyperborea. The German leader even equipped several expeditions to search for her. The Soviet Union did not lag behind Germany. By order of Dzerzhinsky, three expeditions were organized. Two of them disappeared (most likely died), but one returned to Moscow with evidence of the existence of Hyperborea. But for unknown reasons, the leader of the expedition, Barchenko, was soon shot, and the rest of his group disappeared without a trace. What were all these expeditions looking for? Just archaeological interest? No. Most likely, they needed the lost knowledge of the Hyperboreans. After all, the ancient inhabitants of the northern country could adapt the forces of nature for their own benefit, for their needs.

All modern expeditions aimed at searching for Hyperborea, the ancient ancestral home of the Slavs, raise new questions. There is new evidence of the real existence of this country. But there are more and more mysteries. The main thing is that no one doubts that Arctida is related to the history of ancient Russia. No one doubts that the Russian people, their language is connected with this disappeared country. Time will pass, and scientists will find more evidence of the existence of the northern mainland. This will change the perception of the last millennia in the history of all mankind. Perhaps the Hyperboreans will turn out to be not only the ancestors of the Slavs, but also the descendants of an extraterrestrial highly developed civilization. Time will tell…

According to ancient legends, this people lived in the Far North, or "beyond Boreas". These people especially loved the god Apollo, who was relentlessly sung in hymns. Every 19 years, the patron of the arts set off in a chariot drawn by swans to this ideal country, in order to return to Delphi at a certain time of the summer heat. Apollo also rewarded the northern inhabitants with the ability to fly like a bird in the sky.

A number of legends say that the Hyperboreans for a long time observed the ritual of bringing the first harvest to Apollo on Delos (a Greek island in the Aegean Sea). But one day, after the most beautiful girls sent with gifts did not return (were subjected to violence or remained there of their own free will), northern residents began to leave offerings on the border of a neighboring country. From here they were gradually transferred, up to Delos itself, by other peoples for a fee.

Hyperborea was famous for its favorable climate. The sun rose there only once at the summer solstice and shone for half a year. It set, respectively, during the winter solstice.

In the very center of this northern state there was a lake-sea, from which four large rivers flowed into the ocean. Therefore, on the map, Hyperborea resembled a round shield with a cross on the surface. The country was surrounded by very high mountains, through which no ordinary person could cross. The Hyperboreans lived in dense forests and groves.

The state of the northern inhabitants was ideal in its structure. Eternal fun reigned in the Land of the Happy, accompanied by songs, dances, music and feasts. “There are always round dances of maidens, the sounds of a lyre and the singing of a flute were heard.” The Hyperboreans did not know strife, battles and diseases.

The northern people even treated death as a deliverance from satiety with life. Having experienced all the pleasures, the man himself threw himself into the sea.

The question of which race the legendary Hyperboreans belonged to still remains unresolved. Some believe that they were people with black skin. Others argue that the skin was white and it was from the Hyperboreans that the Aryans subsequently descended.

This highly developed civilization had close trade ties with many countries of the Mediterranean, Asia Minor and even America. In addition, the inhabitants of this northern state have gained fame as excellent teachers, thinkers and philosophers. It is known, for example, that the teacher of Pythagoras was a man from a country where "the day reigned for half a year."

Famous sages and servants of Apollo - Abaris and Aristaeus - were considered natives of this country. They are also considered as hypostases of Apollo, since they knew the designations of the ancient fetishistic symbols of God (arrow, raven, laurel). During their lifetime, Abaris and Aristaeus taught and endowed people with new cultural values ​​- such as music, the art of creating poems and hymns, and philosophy.

Here is a few information about the life of the people loved by Apollo. Of course, they are not proof that the Hyperboreans really existed many millennia ago, but scientists continue to search and receive more and more confirming facts. Researchers have gathered a lot of interesting information from the myths, legends and tales of the ancient peoples of the Earth.

In the ancient Indian Vedas there is a text that says that far to the north is the center of the universe, in the very place where the god Brahma fixed the North Star. In the Mahabharata it is also reported that Meiru, or the World Mountain, stands in the Dairy Region. In Hindu mythology, it is associated with the axis of the earth around which our planet revolves.

Here is a country whose inhabitants "taste bliss." These are brave and courageous people, renounced from all evil, indifferent to dishonor and possessing great vitality. The cruel and dishonest have no place here.

In ancient Sanskrit traditions, the first inhabited continent is mentioned, which was located near the North Pole. The legendary Hyperboreans lived here. Their country was named after the Greek god Boreas, the lord of the cold north wind. Therefore, in literal translation, the name sounds like "the extreme northern country located at the top." It existed around the beginning of the Tertiary era.

It is known that the Hellenes and Greeks knew about the northern country. Probably, before Hyperborea disappeared, it was one of the main spiritual centers of the entire Ancient World.

Reconstruction of the city of Arkaim in the South Urals. Some believe that it was built by people from Hyperborea

There is also mention of a great power in Chinese writings. From them we learn about one emperor - Yao, who worked hard to rule ideally. But after the emperor visited the "white island", inhabited by "real people", he realized that he was only "spoiling everything." There, Yao saw a model of a superman, indifferent to everything and "allowing the cosmic wheel to spin."

The peoples who inhabited the territory of modern Mexico also knew about the "white island". But what is this mysterious island? Researchers also correlate it with Hyperborea as a whole or with one of the islands that belonged to it.

The inhabitants of Novaya Zemlya also have legends about a mysterious country. In particular, they say that if you go north all the time through long ice and wandering cold winds, you can get to people who only love and do not know enmity and malice. They have one leg each and cannot move individually. Therefore, people have to walk embracing, and then they can even run. When northerners love, they work wonders. Having lost the ability to love, they die.

Legends and traditions about the country of the Hyperboreans, located in the Far North, are found in almost all the ancient peoples of the world. They are the only sources of information about the legendary country. But since myths and legends were formed by people, many facts or events that were incomprehensible to them changed. Therefore, researchers interested in ancient civilization seek to find scientific confirmation of the existence of Hyperborea.

Where did the Hyperboreans get their heat from?

Among all the questions regarding the existence of the legendary Hyperborea, scientists are especially interested in the following: where or how did the Hyperboreans get heat in the north?

Even M. V. Lomonosov spoke about the fact that once on the territory now covered with eternal ice there was a rather warm climate. In particular, he wrote that "in the northern regions in ancient times there were great heat waves, where elephants could be born and breed."

According to modern science, in that era the climate in Hyperborea was indeed close to tropical. There is a lot of evidence for this fact. For example, in Svalbard and Greenland, fossilized remains of palm trees, magnolias, tree ferns and other tropical plants were once discovered.

Scientists have several versions as to where the Hyperboreans took heat from. According to one hypothesis, they transformed the heat of natural geysers (as in Iceland). Although today it is known that its power would still not be enough to heat the entire continent during the onset of winter.

Proponents of the second hypothesis believe that the Gulf Stream could well be the source of heat. However, it also does not have sufficient power to heat even a relatively small area (an example is the Murmansk region, near which the Gulf Stream ends). But there is an assumption that earlier this current was more powerful.

According to another assumption, Hyperborea was heated artificially. If the inhabitants of this country solved for themselves the problem of air travel, longevity, rational land use, then there is a possibility that they could provide themselves with heat and even learned how to control the climate.

Why did Hyperborea die?

Scientists today are inclined to think that the cause of the death of this ancient civilization, as well as Atlantis, was a natural disaster.

It is known that the climate in Hyperborea was tropical or close to it, but then a sharp cooling set in. Scientists admit the idea that it happened as a result of global natural disasters, for example, the displacement of the earth's axis.

Ancient astronomers and priests believed that this happened about 400 thousand years ago. But then the hypothesis with an axis shift disappears, since, according to ancient myths and legends, the country of the Hyperboreans existed at the North Pole only a few millennia ago.

Another reason for the disappearance of the mainland could be ice ages following one after another. The last glaciation took place at the beginning of the 10th millennium BC. e. Latin America and Europe have been affected by this global process. The onset of glaciers most likely occurred very quickly (since the mammoths found in Siberia were frozen alive). As a result of the subsequent melting of glaciers, vast areas of land were under water.

It is assumed that Hyperborea was not completely flooded and Greenland, Svalbard, Iceland, Jan Mayen, as well as Siberia and the Alaska Peninsula located in this area are the remnants of the northern continent.

There are no other hypotheses as to why Hyperborea died today. Scientists do not undertake to answer this question until they find the solution to the most important riddle: where was she?

Where to look for Hyperborea?

Today there is no scientific evidence of the existence of the legendary seventh continent, if you do not take into account ancient legends, old engravings and maps. So, for example, on the map of Gerard Mercator, the Arctic continent is indicated (where Hyperborea was supposedly located), and the Arctic Ocean is depicted quite accurately around it.

The Arctic continent on the map of Gerard Mercator 1595

This map aroused great interest among scientists and researchers. The fact is that the place where the “golden woman” is located is marked on it - in the region of the mouth of the Ob River. Whether this is the same statue that has been searched for for many centuries throughout Siberia is unknown. The map also shows its exact location.

Today, many researchers engaged in the search for the mysterious Hyperborea believe that, unlike Atlantis, which disappeared without a trace, part of the land still remained from it - these are the northern territories of Russia.

According to other assumptions, Hyperborea was located on the site of modern Iceland. Although neither there, nor in Greenland, nor on Svalbard, archaeologists have yet been able to find any traces of the existence of an ancient civilization. Scientists attribute this to the volcanic activity that has not stopped until now, which destroyed, perhaps many millennia ago, the ancient northern cities.

Targeted searches for Hyperborea have never been carried out, however, at the beginning of the 20th century, a scientific expedition set off to the area of ​​\u200b\u200bSeidozero and Lovozero (Murmansk Region). It was led by famous travelers A. Barchenko and A. Kondiain. During the research work, they were engaged in ethnographic, geographical and psychophysical study of the area.

Once, travelers quite by accident stumbled upon an unusual hole that goes deep underground, but they could not penetrate it for a strange reason: everyone who tried to go down there was seized by a wild, inexplicable horror. Nevertheless, the researchers photographed a strange passage deep into the earth.

Returning to Moscow, the expedition submitted a report on the journey, but the data was immediately classified. The most interesting thing in this story is that in the most hungry years for Russia, the government approved the preparation and financing of this expedition. Most likely, she was given great importance. A. Barchenko himself, as a leader, was repressed and shot upon his return. The materials he received were kept secret for a long time.

In the early 90s of the XX century, Doctor of Philosophical Sciences V. Demin became aware of the expedition of A. Barchenko. After reviewing its results and studying in detail the legends and traditions of the peoples, which mentioned the mysterious northern country, he decided to go in search.

In 1997-1999, an expedition was organized to the Kola Peninsula in search of the legendary Hyperborea. The only task before the researchers was to find traces of the ancient cradle of mankind.

Seydozero

It may seem strange why it was in the North that they tried to find these traces. After all, it is believed that ancient civilizations existed in the Middle East, in South and East Asia between the 12th and 2nd millennia BC. e., but before that their ancestors lived in the North, where the climate was completely different.

As a result of the research work, it turned out that those peoples who live near Seidozero still have respectful respect and reverent fear of this area.

Just two centuries ago, the southern shore of the lake was considered the most honorable place for the burial of shamans and other respected people of the Sami people. Even representatives of this northern people caught fish here only once a year. In the Sami language, the names of the lake and the underworld are identified.

For two years, the expedition discovered many traces of the ancestral home of civilizations on the Kola Peninsula. It is known that the inhabitants of Hyperborea were sun-worshippers. The cult of the Sun existed in the North in subsequent times. Ancient petroglyphs depicting the Sun were found here: a dot inside one or two circles. Similar symbolism can be seen among the ancient Egyptians and Chinese. It also entered modern astronomy, where the symbolic image of the Sun remained the same as it was many thousands of years ago.

Artificial labyrinths aroused great interest among researchers. This is where they spread all over the world. Scientists today proved that these stone structures are a coded projection of the passage of the Sun across the polar sky.

In the area of ​​the sacred Saami Seydozero, a powerful megalithic complex was discovered: giant structures, religious and defensive masonry, geometrically regular slabs with mysterious signs. Nearby were the ruins of an ancient observatory built into the rocks. Its 15-meter trough with sights is directed to the sky and strongly resembles the famous Ulugbek observatory near Samarkand.

In addition, the researchers found several ruined buildings, a road, stairs, an Etruscan anchor and a well under Mount Kuamdespahk. They also made numerous finds, which testify to the fact that once upon a time peoples who perfectly mastered handicrafts lived here.

The expedition found several rock carvings of a lotus and a trident. Of particular interest was a huge cruciform image of a man - "Old Man Koivu", who, according to legend, was immured into the rock of Karnasurta.

These finds, of course, are not proof that a highly developed civilization once existed here. But quite often it happened like this: the most daring hypotheses, smashed to smithereens in their time, were subsequently confirmed.

So far, specific data on the location of the island or the mainland of Hyperborea have not been received. According to modern scientific data, there are no islands near the North Pole, but there is an underwater Lomonosov Ridge, named after its discoverer. He, along with the nearby Mendeleev Ridge, sank under water relatively recently.

Therefore, if we assume that in ancient times the ridge was inhabited, then its inhabitants could well have moved to neighboring continents in the areas of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, the Kola and Taimyr Peninsulas, or in the eastern delta of the Lena River. It is in this territory that peoples live who have preserved the legends about the “golden woman” and, as a result, information about the legendary Hyperborea.

The answers to these and many other mysteries we have to learn in the future.

The theme "Heritage of Hyperborea" is dangerous to some extent: it captivates a person as a whole - Ancestral Memory wakes up. This topic is inexhaustible, if only because if modern civilization is at most 10-12 thousand years old (and we know its history poorly), then the history of the Clans of the Race that once inhabited the legendary Hyperborea began about 500 million years ago . In general, about 1900 million years have passed since the first appearance on Earth of the Clans of the Race.

No, I did not make a reservation - but put two concepts in their places:
1. History of the Races (First)" on Earth and
2. The history of the last mass settlement of Daaria, or Hyperborea, by the Races, otherwise - by the Clans of the Great Race, which has about 450 thousand years.
Below I offer a brief overview of the history of the Northern ancestral home of mankind - Hyperborea, it is Arctida, Daaria, Severia ... the country of Races - Race, Russia. What, you didn't expect this? But this is exactly what the Vedas of the First speak about - the KNOWLEDGE of the Races, the First.
● So, if you are only interested in the history of Hyperborea (Arctida) - read the article below (based on trustworthy materials found on the Internet), as additional materials there is a good selection of books about our Ancestral Motherland.
● For those who feel the NEED TO KNOW (KNOW) the Heritage of our First Ancestors - I recommend the articles "The Meaning of Real Spiritual Development" and "To the descendants of the First - what to do", and only then decide if it is for you, KNOWLEDGE of the First. And if "Yes" - always happy to help in Comprehension of it.

The mysterious country of Hyperborea

In the ancient written sources of Greece, India, Persia and other countries, there is a description of the peoples who inhabited the territory of circumpolar Russia more than 2.5 thousand years ago. Among the ancient states there was also the mysterious country of the Hyperboreans, practically unknown and unexplored today.
The encyclopedia says that the Hyperboreans are a people living on the other side of the north wind of Borea, which blows from the caves of the northern mountains. They are a fabulous people who lived in some kind of paradise country, eternally young, not knowing diseases, enjoying the uninterrupted "light of the heart." They did not know wars and even quarrels, they never fell under the vengeance of Nemesis and were dedicated to the god Apollo. Each of them could live up to 1000 years.

The question of who the Hyperboreans were has worried people at all times, but this question remains largely unresolved today. What do ancient sources say?
Literally, the ethnonym "Hyperboreans" means "those who live beyond Boreas (Northern wind)", or simply - "those who live in the North". Many ancient authors reported about them.
Herodotus (IV century BC) reports that the Hyperboreans lived beyond the Ripean mountains (Urals), behind the Scythians, to the north of them.

The Greek geographer Theopontus (4th century BC) gives information about the Hyperboreans, about which the demigod Silenus informs the Phrygian king Misad during their conversation: "Europe, Asia and Africa were islands surrounded on all sides by the ocean. Outside this world there is another island with many inhabitants. A large army of this island (the empire of Atlantis) tried to invade our lands by crossing the ocean. They reached the land of the Hyperboreans, whom everyone considered the happiest people of this part of the land (the polar part of modern Russia). But when the conquerors saw, how the Hyperboreans (hiding in caves) live, they considered them so unfortunate that they abandoned all their aggressive intentions and returned home, having concluded a friendly agreement.

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): “Beyond these [Ripean] mountains, on the other side of Aquilon, a happy people (if you can believe it), which are called Hyperboreans, reaches very advanced years and is glorified by wonderful legends. It is believed that there are loops of the world and the extreme limits of the revolution 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 in year at the summer solstice, and set only at the winter. This country is all in the sun, with a fertile climate and 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; there are no strife and all sorts of disease. Death comes there only from satiety with life. There is 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 favorable climate off the coast of the Milky Sea (in the country of bliss) is explained by the fact that in those distant times the North Geographic Pole, along with the ice shell, was located off the coast of Canada and Alaska (see Fig.). At that time, the peaks of the Mendeleev, Lomonosov and Gakkel ridges stood as a triple barrier in the Northern Ocean on the way of cold and ice to the Novaya Zemlya-Taimyr region. And the warm Gulf Stream reached and skirted Novaya Zemlya and reached Taimyr. Because of this, the climate was much milder than today. Along the Gakkel ridge, along a series of islands, there was a route from Taimyr to northeastern Greenland. The recent existence of large islands of the Arctic lands in the northern ocean is evidenced by the maps of Mercator, compiled by him in the middle of the 16th century. AD based on more ancient sources (see Fig. 1).

The map of G. Mercator, the most famous cartographer of all time, based on some ancient knowledge, where Hyperborea is depicted as a huge arctic continent with a high mountain (Meru?) in the middle.

Fig.1 Map of Gerhard Mercator, published by his son Rudolf in 1535. The legendary Arctida (Hyperborea) is depicted in the center of the map.

One of the confirmations of the indisputable fact of the 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).

On the other hand, ancient authors and, in particular, Strabo in his famous "Geography" write about the marginal northern territory, the polar extremity of the Earth, called Tula (Tula). Thule just occupies the place where, according to calculations, Hyperborea or Arctida should be (more precisely, Thule is one of the extremities of Arctida). According to Strabo, these lands are located six days sailing north of Britain, and the sea there is gelatinous, resembling the body of one of the varieties of jellyfish - the "sea lung". If there are no reliable texts, and material monuments are either not recognized or hidden under the Arctic ice, the reconstruction of the language can help: as a keeper of the thoughts and knowledge of the disappeared generations, it is no less reliable monument in comparison with stone megaliths - dolmens, menhirs and cromlechs. You just need to learn to read the meaning hidden in them.

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 Hercules (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.

In the folklore of a number of peoples, a description of wonderful clear-voiced maidens who could fly like swans has been preserved. The Greeks identified them with the wise Gorgons. Perseus, it was in Hyperborea, accomplished his "feat" by cutting off the head of Medusa the Gorgon.

The Greek Aristaeus (VII century BC) also visited Hyperborea and wrote the poem "Arimaspeia". By origin, he was considered a Hyperborean. In the poem, he described this country in detail. Aristaeus possessed clairvoyance and could himself, lying in bed, fly in the astral body. At the same time, he (through the astral body) surveyed large territories from above, flying over countries, seas, rivers, forests, reaching the borders of the country of the Hyperboreans. After the return of his astral body (soul), Aristaeus got up and wrote down what he saw.

Similar abilities, according to Greek sources, were also possessed by individual priests of Abaris, who arrived from Hyperborea in Greece. Abaris, on a one and a half meter metal "arrow of Hyperborean Apollo" presented to him, with a special device in its plumage, crossed rivers, seas and impassable places, traveling as if by air (see Fig. 2). During the journey, he performed purifications, drove out plagues and plagues, made reliable predictions about earthquakes, calmed stormy winds and pacified river and sea disturbances.

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
The Hellenic Sun-God Apollo, who was born in Hyperborea and received one of his main epithets at the place of birth, constantly visited his distant homeland and the ancestral home of almost all Mediterranean peoples. Several images of Apollo flying to the Hyperboreans have been preserved. At the same time, the artists stubbornly reproduced a winged platform, completely atypical for ancient pictorial symbolism, ascending, presumably, to some kind of real prototype.

Apollo (like his sister Artemis) - the children of Zeus from his first wife, the titanides Leto, are uniquely associated with Hyperborea. According to the testimony of ancient authors and the belief of the ancient Greeks and Romans, Apollo not only periodically returned to Hyperborea in a chariot drawn by swans, but the Hyperboreans themselves, the northerners, constantly came to Hellas with gifts in honor of Apollo. There is also a substantive link between Apollo and Hyperborea. Apollo is the God of the Sun, and Hyperborea is that northern country where the Sun does not set for several months in the summer. Geographically, such a country can only be located beyond the Arctic Circle. The cosmic-stellar essence of Apollo is due to its origin.

Apollo's sister - the Goddess Artemis - is also inextricably linked with Hyperborea. Apollodorus (1, 1U, 5) depicts her as the intercessor of the Hyperboreans. The Hyperborean affiliation of Artemis is also mentioned in the most ancient ode of Pindar, dedicated to Hercules of Hyperborean. According to Pindar, Hercules reached Hyperborea in order to accomplish another feat - to get the golden-horned Cyrene Doe:
"He has reached the lands behind the icy Boreas.
There is the daughter of Latona, the rush of horses,
I met him who came to take
From the gorges and winding depths of Arcadia
By decree of Eurystheus, by the fate of the father
Golden-horned deer..."
The Titanide's mother Leto gave birth to her sun-bearing son on the island of Asteria, which means "star". Asteria (Star) was also called sister Leto. There is a version. that the cult of Apollo was re-introduced to the Mediterranean already in the days of ancient Rome. The cult of the common Indo-European Sun God was brought here by the Proto-Slavic tribes of the Wends, who founded and gave names to the modern cities of Venice and Vienna.
The classic Sun God of the Ancient World, Apollo, was also from the Far North, who regularly returned to his historical homeland and bore the nickname Hyperborean (other Gods and heroes had similar epithets). It was the Hyperborean priests, the servants of Apollo, who founded the first temple in honor of the Sun God in Delphi, maintaining constant contacts with the northern metropolis.
Pausanias claimed that the famous Delphic sanctuary of Apollo was built by Hyperborean priests, among whom was the singer Olen.
So many-glorious here they made a sanctuary to God

"Also Deer[s]: he was the first prophet of the prophetic Phoebus,
The first one, songs which he composed from ancient melodies.
Pausanias. Description of Hellas. X. V, 8.
It is known that, having matured, Apollo on the chariot of Zeus flew every summer to Hyperborea, to the banks of the shady Istra (the modern Ob River, but with the source of the Irtysh) to the homeland of his ancestors - the god of Hyperboreans, the titan Koya with his wife Phoebe, who are the parents of his mother Leto. On the same chariot, the king of the Scythians Prometheus flew to his Northern Urals (the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe source of the Lobva and Bolshaya Kosva rivers).
Apollo was considered a prophet, oracle, healer, god, founder and builder of cities. With the help of the Hyperborean priests, he built cities and temples in Delphi, Asia Minor, Italy, Claros, Didyma, Colophon, Kuma, Gaul, in the Peloponnese, in his life he was closely associated with Hyperborea. There he himself, his son Asclepius and other children received knowledge from the sage Chiron and the Hyperborean priests.

The Greeks reported that high morality, art, religious and esoteric beliefs and various crafts necessary to meet the needs of the country flourished in Hyperborea. Agriculture, animal husbandry, weaving, construction, mining, leather, and woodworking industries were developed. The Hyperboreans had land, river and sea transport, lively trade with neighboring peoples, as well as with India, Persia, China, and Europe.
It is known that the Hellenes moved to Greece because of the Caspian about 4 thousand years ago. Previously, they lived near the Khatanga and Olenok rivers, next to the Hyperboreans, Arimaspians, and Scythians. Therefore, these peoples have so much in common in historical reports.

Of the children of Apollo, the most famous is Asclepius, who became famous in the field of medicine. He wrote and left behind a generalized knowledge of medicine in multi-volume books, mentioned in various sources, but not survived to this day. It is possible that such knowledge in the field of healing existed on all ancient continents, and was later lost. But today they have begun a second procession across the continents from the countries of the East.
Hyperborea was visited by Greek merchants, scientists, travelers who left information about this polar country, where there are snows, polar days and nights, and the population escapes from the cold in underground dwellings, in which there were temples and other structures.

The ancient Greek writer Elion described an amazing cult rite of the country of the Hyperboreans, where Apollo has priests - the sons of Boreas and Chiron, six cubits tall. Every time when the established sacred rites are performed at the prescribed time, flocks of swans flock from the Riphean mountains. Majestic birds fly around the temple, as if cleansing it with their flight. The sight is mesmerizing in its beauty. After that, when the harmonious choir of priests, accompanied by cytharists, begins to praise God, the swans echo the experienced singers, repeating the sacred chant fluently and accurately.

The swan is the symbol of Hyperborea. The sea deity Forky, the son of Gaia-Earth and the prototype of the Russian Sea Tsar, was married to the Titanide Keto. Their six daughters, who were born within the limits of Hyperborean, were originally revered as beautiful Swan maidens (only much later, for ideological reasons, they were turned into ugly monsters - grays and gorgons). The discrediting of the Gorgons followed the same pattern and, apparently, for the same reasons as the attribution of opposite signs and negative meanings during the collapse of the common Indo-Iranian pantheon into separate religious systems (this happened already after the migration of the Aryans from North to South), when the "devi " and "ahuras" (light divine beings) become "devas" and "asuras" - evil demons and bloodthirsty werewolves. This is a global tradition inherent in all times, peoples, religions without exception.

During the reign of the god Kron, who ruled during the Golden Age, large national sports games began to be held in Hyperborea, long before the advent of the Greek Olympic Games. These games were held in several places: at the sources of the Pur and Tolka rivers, east of the mouth of the Yenisei (there are remains of large stone structures) and others. It was the Hyperboreans who recommended the Greeks to reward the winners of the Olympic Games with an olive branch instead of an apple branch and gave them the sacred olive tree.
The king of the Scythians during the life of Koy and Zeus was Prometheus. The country of the Scythians was located in the Northern Urals. The residence of Prometheus was at the source of the rivers Lobva and Bolshaya Kosva. Legends say that Prometheus gave people writing and counting, but in reality, he most likely carried out another reform of the writing that existed before him.

There is no doubt that the Hyperboreans had their own written language, since without it Chiron and Asclepius would not have been able to write books on medicine. By the way, the ancient writing of the northern peoples (Yamal - Taimyr) was preserved until the beginning of the 20th century.

The Hyperboreas owned the technology for the development of underground deposits of useful metals. They could tunnel under rivers, lakes and even the bottom of the sea. Hyperborea built unique underground structures. During the period of cold weather, they found shelter in underground cities, where it was warm and there was protection from cosmic and other influences.

Aristaeus, describing his journey through Hyperborea, reports on the many marvelous stone statues.
Contrary to popular belief, the culture of the pyramids is not of southern, but of northern origin. In a cult-ritual and architectural-aesthetic form, they reproduce the most ancient symbol of the Arctic Homeland - the Polar Mountain Meru. According to archaic mythological ideas, it is located at the North Pole and is the axis of the world - the center of the universe.
There is a mountain in the world, steep-hilled Meru,
She can not find any comparison or measure.
In transcendental beauty, in inaccessible space,
She sparkles in golden attire<...>
The top is dressed with her pearls.
Its peak is hidden by clouds.
On this peak, in the pearl chamber,
One day the heavenly gods sat down...
Mahabharata. Book 1. (Translated by S. Lipkin)

Nowadays, boulders, mysterious in shape and size, towering above the area, are called remnants. Many of them have a large energy field that creates inexplicable energy effects. Other described structures of the Hyperboreans, incl. sphinxes and pyramids are now hidden in the thickness of the fells and hills, waiting for the hour of their discovery, just as the ancient pyramids were discovered in Mexico.

The Indians, after the gradual migration of their great-ancestors from the North to the South, preserved the memory of the Polar Mountain Meru in almost all sacred books and majestic epic poems (later, ancient cosmological views were included in the Buddhist canon and images on sacred mandalas). However, even earlier the great-ancestors of modern peoples, who were part of an undifferentiated ethno-linguistic community, worshiped the World Mountain. This Universal Mountain became the prototype of the numerous pyramids of the Old and New Worlds. By the way, in the ancient Egyptian language, the pyramid was called mr, which is completely consonant with the name of the sacred mountain Meru (taking into account that there are no vowels in Egyptian hieroglyphics). The Greek chronicles describe Hyperborea in the period from the 10th to the 4th centuries. BC, but the sources of India and Persia cover a more ancient period. Important historical information about the Hyperboreans is found in ancient legends: Indian - Mahabharata, Rig Veda, Purana, Persian - Avesta, etc.

Indian legends mention the country of a mysterious people who lived in the polar region "under the North Star". The reference point for determining the location of this country is Mount Meru.

Mount Meru existed at the time of the creation of the World, and its roots go far into the depths of the Earth. From them grow other mountains. There are numerous sources of rivers and waterfalls on Meru. To the north of the slope of Meru to the very coast of the Milky Sea was the land of bliss. (Mount Meru with the peak of Mandara is the current Putorano plateau with the main peak 1701 m high, located behind the Yenisei, east of Norilsk. - Approx. Aut.)

Meru once had the abode of the Hindu gods: Brahma, Vishnu. The paradise of the great god Indra with his majestic palaces and a fabulous city was located on its main peak - Mandara and inside it. Here lived gods, asuras, kinnaras, gandharvas, snakes, various divine beings, celestial nymphs, excellent healers - Ashvins.
The great hero and sage, the eldest of the Kauravas - Bhishma tells about the land of bliss, where there are vast pastures with many animals. There is abundant vegetation that gives abundant fruits, countless flocks of birds, as well as sacred swans that fly to temples and take part in ritual holidays and choral singing.

The legends say that in the north of the Sea of ​​\u200b\u200bMilk there is a large island called Svetadvipa (Light, White Island). It is located 32,000 yojanas north of Meru. There live "fragrant white men, removed from all evil, indifferent to honor-discount, marvelous in appearance, full of all evil, strong as diamonds, their bones." God, who spread the universe, they lovingly serve. Zeus exiled his father, the god Kron, to this White Island, where his tomb is still located. The country of bliss was located from the Urals to Taimyr. In these lands it was neither cold nor hot. People lived here up to 1000 years, marked with all good signs, shining like a month, they penetrated into the Knowledge of the thousand-beamed eternal God. Ancient authors (Aristaeus, Herodotus, Pliny, etc.) call this people Hyperboreans. Its inhabitants did not know wars and strife, need and sorrows. They ate the fruits of plants, they knew mineral food, but they could maintain vitality without taking food at all.

The Mahabharata narrates about the tragic battle of related families of the Pandava and Kaurava rulers on the field of Kurikshetra (XVIII-XV centuries BC). In this battle, the following were used: flying objects (chariots, etc.), laser, plasmoid, atomic weapons, robots. The manufacturing technology and other characteristics of this technique are unknown to modern civilization. Many peoples of Asia were involved in this battle, including modern Central Asia and Western Siberia, up to the Arctic Ocean and even Africa.

The best of the Pandavas commander Arjuna (Yarjuna) sent his troops to the north. Having crossed the Himalayas, he conquered one after another the northern kingdoms with all their fabulous and fantastic tribes. But when he approached the country of the happy northern people, "guards with huge bodies" came out to him, endowed with great valor and strength. They told Arjuna to go back because he would not see anything with his own eyes. Here in this country there should be no fighting. Anyone who enters this land without an invitation will perish. Despite the presence of a huge army, Arjuna heeded what was said and, like the troops of Atlantis, turned back.

But the god Indra, in the war with the Asuras, nevertheless destroyed the palaces and cities on Mount Meru, leaving only underground dwellings built in the thickness of the mountain.
The results of recent research have made it possible to establish that more than 12 thousand years ago, the Hyperboreans lived on Novaya Zemlya and adjacent islands. Novaya Zemlya was then a peninsula. After the death of Atlantis, climate change began and the Hyberborea began to gradually move eastward (Pechora, Yamal, Ob, Taimyr rivers). Later, due to a stronger climate change, about 3500 years ago and the onset of a cold snap, the Hyperboreans in separate groups began to leave in different ways to warmer regions of the Earth.

Other peoples (for the same reason) also left their inhabited lands and cities, the graves of their ancestors. Nobody talked about the integrity of state borders. The integrity of the country was seen, first of all, in the unity and integrity of the people, and not the territory.

One of the large groups of Hyperboreans headed south through Altai, northwest China, and India. At the beginning of a new era, they reached the Ganges River. The descendants of this group still live in the northeast of Burma (southern Tibet), being referred to as the people of Shana. Their total number is about 2.5 million people. The language of the Sino-Tibetan group. Of course, along the way, part of this group settled among other peoples. These include modern Khakasses.
The second group, which left in an easterly direction, along the Nizhnyaya Tunguska River towards Vilyui, dispersed among other peoples and left no visible traces (see map).

Approximately in the XIII century. BC. the gradual migration of the Hyperboreans to Europe and Asia Minor began. At Lake Ladoga, in the central mountain range of France (the sources of the Dordogne and Allier rivers), temples were erected to the goddess Lada. Traditions report that the true tomb of Apollo is located at the source of the Dordogne and Allier rivers, and the descendants of the Hyperboreans also live. At the same time, in Greece they show the burial place of Apollo at Delphi (possibly symbolic). A tributary of the Seine River is the Ob River (consonant with the Siberian Ob).

The legends of the peoples of the north of Siberia testify that the Hyperboreans settled from the mouth of the Irtysh to the mouth of the Kama, and then settled most of Eurasia. There is evidence that the most important places of worship are located on the rivers Kama, Ob, Yenisei, Taimyr, northern Yamal, at the source of the rivers Pur and Tolka. Unfortunately, the entrances to these underground structures are littered, and yet these underground palaces are similar to those that are well known in Egypt, Afghanistan, India, and China.
The legendary Hyperboreans were a real people. Their descendants mainly live in Russia, Asia, and Europe. They included several nationalities of a related language group. They also included the distant ancestors of the Khanty, Shans.

Material traces of the Hyperboreans are also found on the surface of the earth in the form of stone remains of statues (remnants), destroyed religious and sports facilities. Somewhere near Lake Taimyr there is a library of Hyperboreans, including a description of the history of Atlantis, the works of Asclepius, Chiron. But these places are still inaccessible and extremely poorly explored (the Putorano Plateau is generally a solid "white spot"). It is very likely that plants that Chiron and Asclepius used to heal and even, as with the heroes of the Ramayana, resurrect people still grow here.
