Rural life? Or suburban life? At first glance, in our time, "rural" life is popular. "I moved to the village!" - proudly declares a person above the average security. But what is called "rural" life in Britain, France or Germany? Under the pseudonym "rural"

According to ancient legends, this people lived in the Far North, or "beyond Boreas". These people especially loved the god Apollo, whom they tirelessly sang in hymns. Every 19 years, the patron of the arts traveled 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 offering Apollo the first harvest 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), the northern inhabitants began to leave offerings on the border of the neighboring country. From here they were gradually transferred, right up to Delos itself, by other peoples for a certain fee.

Hyperborea was famous for its favorable climate. The sun rose there only once at the summer solstice and shone for six months. 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. In the Land of the Happy, eternal fun reigned, accompanied by songs, dances, music and feasts. "There are always round dances of virgins, the sounds of the lyre and the singing of the flute were heard." The Hyperboreans did not know strife, battles, and disease.

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

The question of what race the legendary Hyperboreans belonged to is still unresolved. Some believe that these 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 relations with many countries of the Mediterranean, Western Asia 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 six months."

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

Here are a few information about the life of the people beloved by Apollo. They, of course, are not proof that the Hyperboreans really existed many millennia ago, but scientists continue to search and receive more and more new confirming facts. A lot interesting information researchers have learned 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 the center of the universe is located far in the north, at the very place where the god Brahma fixed the Pole Star. The Mahabharata also reports that Meiru, or the World Mountain, stands in the Milky Land. 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 tremendous vitality. There is no place for the cruel and dishonest.

In ancient Sanskrit legends, 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 a 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 Greeks 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 on South Urals... Some believe that it was built by people from Hyperborea.

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

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 its islands.

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

Almost all ancient peoples of the world have legends and traditions about the country of the Hyperboreans located in the Far North. They are the only sources of information about the legendary country. But since the 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?

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

That once on the territory now covered eternal ice, there was a rather warm climate, even MV Lomonosov said. In particular, he wrote that "in the northern regions in ancient times there were great heatwaves, where elephants could be born and reproduce."

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

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

Supporters of the second hypothesis believe that the source of heat could well have been the Gulf Stream. However, it also does not have enough 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 flow was more powerful.

According to another hypothesis, Hyperborea was heated artificially. If the inhabitants of this country decided for themselves the problem of air travel, longevity, rational land use, then it is likely that they could provide themselves with heat and even learned how to manage the climate.

Why Hyperborea died

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

It is known that the climate in Hyperborea was tropical or close to it, but then a sharp cold snap set in. Scientists admit the idea that it happened due to 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 a displacement of the axis 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 the other. The last glaciation happened at the beginning of the X millennium BC. NS. Latin America and Europe have suffered from the impact of this global process. The onset of glaciers most likely occurred very quickly (since the mammoths discovered in Siberia froze alive). As a result of the subsequent melting of glaciers, vast areas of land were found under water.

It is assumed that Hyperborea was not completely submerged 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 a solution to the most important riddle: where was it?

Where to find Hyperborea?

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

Arctic continent on Gerardus Mercator's 1595 map

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

Today, many researchers searching for the mysterious Hyperborea believe that, unlike Atlantis, which disappeared without a trace, part of the land 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 not yet managed to find any traces of the existence of an ancient civilization. Scientists attribute this to the volcanic activity that has not yet ceased, which destroyed, perhaps, many millennia ago, the ancient northern cities.

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

Once the travelers accidentally stumbled upon an unusual hole going 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 into the depths of 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, great importance was attached to it. A. Barchenko himself, as a leader, was repressed and shot on his return. The materials he received were kept secret for a long time.

In the early 90s of the XX century, Doctor of Philosophy V. Demin became aware of A. Barchenko's expedition. Having familiarized himself with its results and having studied in detail the legends and traditions of the peoples in which the mysterious northern country was mentioned, he decided to go in search.

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

Seidozero

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 the South and East Asia between the XII and II millennia BC e., but before that their ancestors lived in the North, where the climate was completely different.

As a result of research work, it turned out that those peoples who live near Seydozero still retain respectful respect and awe of this area.

Just two centuries ago, the southern shore of the lake was considered the most honorable burial place for shamans and other respected people of the Sami people. Even the representatives of this northern people caught fish here only once a year. In the Sami language, the name of the lake and the afterlife 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 worshipers. The cult of the Sun existed in the North in subsequent times. Here were found ancient petroglyphs depicting the Sun: a point within one or two circles. Similar symbolism can be seen among the ancient Egyptians and Chinese. She 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. It was from here that they spread throughout the world. Scientists today have proven that these stone structures are a coded projection of the sun's passage across the polar sky.

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

In addition, the researchers discovered several destroyed buildings, a road, stairs, an Etruscan anchor and a well under the Kuamdespahk mountain. They also made numerous finds indicating that once upon a time there lived peoples who were excellent at handicraft art.

The expedition discovered several rock carvings of a lotus and a trident. Of particular interest was a huge cross-shaped image of a man - "old man Koivu", who, according to legend, was embedded in the rock of Karnasurta.

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

So far, no specific data has been received on the location of the island or the mainland of Hyperborea. According to modern scientific data, there are no islands near the North Pole, but there is an underwater Lomonosov Ridge, named after its discoverer. It, together 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 on this territory that peoples live who have preserved the legends about the "golden woman" and, as a result, information about the legendary Hyperborea.

We will have to find out the answers to these and many other secrets in the future.

It's a strange word - Hyperborea... Even more interesting is the history of Hyperborea itself. The history of Hyperborea is mysterious, legendary and controversial. Did this country exist? There are a number of scientists who will answer this question in the affirmative.

In Petrozavdsk, the capital of Karelia, there are two festivals under this name - winter and summer.

In winter, sculptors gather from different countries and beautiful figures are sculpted from ice.

And in the summer, youth organizations gather in a summer camp under this mysterious name. This is a tribute to the legend of Hyperborea!

Why Hyperborea? Translated from ancient Greek, it means beyond the north. Boreya - North. But the Hyperboreans themselves called their homeland - BY WHOM, which means Heavenly Land.

Quite a lot is being written and said now about this polar country and this mysterious civilization. In the ancient writings of India, Greece, Persia, there is a description of a wonderful country that is located in the north and about its people, who were referred to as gods.

He was described in the legends as a happy people who had a blissful life, accompanied by songs, dances and holy prayers. And then they lived on the territory ancient Russia? So where did Russia come from?

In different sources, the location of Hyperborea is in different places, but most of inclined to the fact that Hyperborea was located near the North Pole, not far from the Kola Peninsula. An interesting fact, already proven by scientists, that several millennia BC, our planet turned over, or rather changed magnetic poles... And where the north and south poles are now, there used to be an equator. This means that these places had the most favorable climate.

Russian oceanographers and paleontologists found that in the period from 30 to 15 millennium BC. NS. the Arctic climate was mild enough. American and Canadian scientists came to the same conclusions.

The mystery of why birds fly to the north finds its clue also in the fact that their genetic memory of birds invitingly pulls to their homeland - to warm Hyperborea, which for some reason went under water.

There is a map of Hyperborea created by ???? navigator Gerard Mercator in 1595, which surprisingly coincides in outline with the relief of a huge plateau at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean.

Hyperborea on Gerardus Mercator's 1595 map.

In Hyperborea there was Mount Meru - the universal mountain, the center of attraction of the heavenly and heavenly worlds. And such a mountain really exists in the Russian waters of the Arctic Ocean, practically reaching its top of the ice shell.

Where such an ancient map came from the Flemish navigator is unknown. There are also mysterious ancient maps of Antarctica, made before its discovery. There is a theory that these cards first came to the ancient Greeks from the Hyperboreans themselves, who left their homeland apparently due to some kind of catastrophe ..

In the calendars of the Mayans, Assyrians and Egyptians, the catastrophe of Hyperborea dates back to 11542 BC.

Huge stone monuments, stone labyrinths and spirals on the Kola Peninsula, Solovetsky Islands and Karelia speak of ancient traces of life in these northern latitudes.

The name of the river on the Kola Peninsula -Kola, comes from the name of the Solntsebog Kolo -Kolyad. Kolo is the sun.

Most researchers believe that the ancient mysterious civilization of the Hyperboreans is at least 15-20 thousand years old.

According to esoteric teachings, Hyperborea is the most secret place on the planet, and the Hyperboreans possessed such powerful knowledge that modern man does not possess.

In his "Centuries" Nostradamus called the Russians a Hyperborean people.

The most amazing thing is that the ancient Indian Vedas speak of the northern country of abundance and happiness, which is located next to Mount Meru, where the abode of the first creator Brahma and other Indian gods was.

In this case, there is no doubt that Hyperborea is directly related to ancient Russia and to the most ancient and mysterious civilization that gave rise to many peoples?

So the Russians are the Hyperborean people?

At the present time, since the end of the 90s, thanks to the expeditions of Russian ascetic scientists, Hyperborea has literally been resurrected from historical oblivion, which means that from now on the world prehistory receives a completely new sound, and its chronology is pushed back into the depths of millennia.
Now the science on a full-fledged basis has entered the phrase "Rus Hyperborean"
Here is what the famous researcher of Gipperborea V.N. Demin:
“Once upon a time in the North of our planet there was the ancestral home of a single humanity, one language, the ancestor of Culture. Fleeing from the worldwide cataclysm, its surviving inhabitants settled in different parts of the Earth, forming various peoples and languages. In the early versions of the myths of all peoples, this country was spoken of as the country of the Golden Age of mankind, as the Paradise Earth. The Greeks called this country Hyperborea, that is, “located behind the north wind Boreas….
But, if we take the consequences of the last cataclysm, an Indian and Iranian group emerged. A bloc emerged linking modern Germanic, Turkic and Slavic peoples. Block associated with future Hellenes. Each of them had its own fate. They began to migrate from north to south. Moreover, migration took many years, when cultural degradation could occur.
… .. Gradually. There were transshipment points. One of them, I believe, was Arkaim - a staging post for the migration of Indo-Europeans from north to south. There they were entrenched for a thousand years ... "

Remember the magic circles Arkaim? There are the same on the Kola Peninsula.

“… The Egyptians appeared 3.5 thousand years before the new era. And they came there with a polar calendar. 2500 BC came with the same polar calendar. NS. the Etruscans to the Mediterranean Sea ... Then the Greeks appeared there - 2000 BC. - also with a polar calendar of 350 sunny days ...
Therefore, we can consider the “Hyperborean” III millennium BC as the beginning of history in its conscious understanding. And this story is directly related to the North ”. "
He believes that the Chinese and Hindus are also from Hyperborea, but left it earlier, before the cataclysm that destroyed this country. But their language and culture remained much in common with the rest of the descendants of the Hyperboreans.
From this perspective, it is interesting to look at the settlement of peoples with the Uralic group of languages.
To begin with, the language of the present-day Lapps inhabiting the Kola Peninsula belongs to the Finno-Ugric group of languages, which is a branch of the Uralic group. What kind of group is this?
Where is the Urals and where is the Kola Peninsula? It seems not so close…. And languages ​​are similar.
But there is more ...
This group of languages ​​is widespread in Hungary, Norway, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Estonia and other countries. In Russia, these are the languages ​​of the Khanty, Mansi, Nenets, Udmurt, Komi, Mari, Mordovian (Moksha, Erzya), Nangnasan, some Volga, Finnish, Karelian, Vepsian, Ingermandan, Vod, Liv, Tesr-Sami, Kildin, South Estonian - You are Russian.
If you look at the map of the settlement of peoples who speak this language, then it begins to seem that they all went from the North Pole, spreading rays to the south.

And the farther from the north the peoples went, the less they remembered ancient language... We already know how quickly the language is changing, based on the example of the last decades. And what can we say about centuries and millennia. But there is still much left. For example, the Russians have the Vedas, and the Indians have the Vedas. And runes similar to hieroglyphs?
Scientists summarizing the results scientific expeditions to the North of Russia and taking into account the idea expressed by Jean Sylvain Bailly about the northern origin of the ancient Egyptian myth about the dying and resurrecting god Osiris, made the observation that large complexes-sanctuaries in Hyperborean places in the North modern Russia in ancient times they were located by their builders in strict accordance with the position of the stars in the constellation "Orion". Additional expeditions carried out to test the scientific hypothesis about the commonality of the Hyperborean (Old Russian) and ancient Egyptian cultures have fully confirmed the validity of this assumption.
Researcher L.I. Efimova proved that the more ancient northern Kola and White Sea pyramids became the prototype of the Egyptian pyramids.

This is what she writes in her article "Ancient Egypt was founded by the northerners?"
“In the ancient“ Builders Texts ”, inscribed on the Temple of Horus in Edfu, Egypt, the builders of the pyramids are referred to as enlightened ones who came from the islands northern country flood befell. It was these sages who once began to build Egypt, and they initially carried out their construction according to the plans of their northern country, also called Duat-n-Ba (perhaps this is how they called their country, because the ancient Greeks gave it the name Hyperborea).
Ancient Egyptian priests considered Duat a place where "the sun of the world hidden from us meets the sun of our world." According to the conclusion of scientists-Egyptologists, Duat meant the reddish glow of the dawn before dawn. This is exactly the picture that can be observed at 65 degrees north latitude in the Russian North. It is interesting that the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt called it Kem. In Karelia, on the shores of the White Sea, there is just a city with a similar name Kem.
In the late 2000s, on an island in the White Sea near Kem, a white egg-shaped megalith was found with a Phoenix-like bird (Egyptian bird from Heliopolis), which dies and is reborn again.
In the immediate vicinity of the megalithic egg, they discovered a giant, even larger than a stone egg, black in color monolith, which in shape simultaneously resembled a pentagram, a dog's head and an exaggeratedly large eye. Upon close examination of this megalith, it was found that on this stone eye-pentagram-dog there was clearly an artificially three-dimensional image of a throne with a foot, and under it - a kneeling man in a headdress reminiscent of the ancient Egyptian crown of Upper Egypt. ”(Arguments and Facts, northwest, 2011)

On one of the islands of the White Sea - Kuzov Island, not far from the Solovetsky Islands - remains of a very ancient city, supposedly antediluvian and unusually huge throne.

In 2007, on one of the island megaliths in the Kemsky skerries of the White Sea, an expedition discovered and read an inscription made in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. This was the name USIR (Osiris). And on the islands of the White Sea, the most ancient megalithic complexes contain well-known Ancient Egypt symbols, hieroglyphic words and complete phrases related to the cults of the ancient Egyptian Gods Osiris and Thoth. These texts have a fundamental physical content about the structure of the world.
Translating into modern language these texts can be expressed like this:
Live by Nature, in accordance with her, and not by any other institution. The Primordial Natural Law is God, the Truth and the basis of the Highest Justice. There is no Truth above his Order.
