Underground cities of Hyperborea

It has long been noted that some cities: Memphis, Constantinople (Istanbul), Kyiv, St. Petersburg, which played a significant role in the history of mankind, are located geographically in a narrow corridor of about 31 degrees east longitude. Interestingly, these cities are located on the projection of the Milky Way.

If you add 9-10 degrees to the latitude of St. Petersburg, then there in the Murmansk region of the Kola region there is the village of Tuloma (68 N 32 E) - “mother of Tula” translated from Sanskrit. There is also a river there, also Tuloma. “Maybe we should look for Hyperborea there?” - the researchers thought.

The very word “Tula” in Russian means “hidden”, “shaded”, something secret, maybe underground.

There is a version that 26 thousand years ago the earth’s axis once again changed its angle of inclination and the North Pole ended up where it is now. The continent of Arctida began to quickly become icy. The Hyperborean inhabitants knew all this in advance and set off in an organized manner to explore other lands, primarily Eurasia. There they lived beautifully until 13 thousand years ago when Phaeton exploded and its satellite somehow flew to Earth. This is our current Moon. Fortunately, they did not collide (otherwise everything would have died), since the magnetic shells of cosmic bodies “springed”. But the catastrophe on Earth was still very significant. Let me remind you, these are all versions. The unfortunate inhabitants of the Earth, those who remained alive, moved to underground dwellings. It is possible that they built underground cities for themselves in advance, since they were quite advanced comrades and could foresee the coming catastrophe. There they stayed for a long time, maybe several thousand years, until the situation on the surface somehow changed for the better. Children were born, generations changed, becoming shorter and shorter. Much knowledge has been lost, but some remains. Our pseudo-history calls them cave dwellers-savages.

When people came to the surface, we can say that another new civilization began - ours. The truth is no longer comparable in level to the Hyperborean.

Kola Peninsula . There are a lot of amazing megaliths, seids, balls in the rocks, pyramids twice as old as the Egyptian ones, columns, etc. Megaliths are oriented strictly astronomically. For example, "Crow's Eye". (photo above) It was larger, but fell apart. There are ancient Russian legends about him. God Varuna, who controls the elements of the movement of the starry sky, and observes the paths that emanate from the gates of the interworld. Raven is a bird of prophecy, Varun's faithful companion. And it is no coincidence that in the spring of 2000, astronomers assigned the name Varuna to the largest trans-Plutonian planet.

Lidia Ivanovna Efimova, through many years of observations, confirmed that this complex belongs to an ancient near-horizon observatory at least 27 thousand years old.

This complex is called "Varun Observatory". On the day of the vernal equinox, they observed the sunrise and on March 21, a ray showed them the point of sunrise. And on the day of the autumn equinox they recorded the sunset point with stones. And 13 thousand years ago they again placed stones where they needed them. Now the line has changed, of course. On the day of the winter and summer solstice, the location of the sun was also recorded in a similar way. That is, all the stones are there for a reason.

There should be underground cities there too, they just have to. They found giant tunnels several kilometers long, built unknown when. The history of their discovery and research is shrouded in various spy secrets.

Traces of underground civilizations in the Arctic were of interest to the German Nazis at the beginning of the 20th century. It was believed that he still lives there ancient civilization, from which you can borrow technology and weapons. According to Tibetan data, the entrances there are located at the poles of the planet. The Germans thought that Russia had these secrets. Historians believe that the Germans took many artifacts from the Kola Peninsula. The hunt for materials began.

Today, the entrances to the tunnels are camouflaged, blocked or blown up, and flooded. Lidiya Efimova says that they went down with rubber boats into half-flooded tunnels reminiscent of a subway.

The Kola Pyramids are shrouded in mystery. In 1935, researcher Barchenko was shot. All his materials are still classified. Since 1921, on the instructions of Dzerzhinsky, he studied artifacts of the North. In our time, the north was explored by Valery Demin. Columns, slabs with mysterious inscriptions. The entrance to the underground labyrinth has been found. But scientists were unable to study it. It was as if some force was not letting me in. During the second expedition, Demin felt unwell and returned to Moscow and died two months later. Subsequent expeditions found pyramids up to 50 meters high with steps and a trench in a remote area of ​​the Kola Peninsula. They checked it with ground penetrating radar and confirmed that it was a man-made object. Inside the void, at least 9000 years old. Why they were built is unknown. Out of habit, they assumed that this was an observatory.

In our Russian north, many traces of our ancestors are found. These are various megaliths, petroglyphs. In different areas of the Kola Peninsula, the foundations of ancient buildings have been preserved. To say that they are natural formations is hindered by the correctness of their forms, processed with symmetrical chamfers, even cuts, holes, etc. Stone masonry from regular blocks has been preserved in many places not only in the north, but also in Siberia and the Urals.

Some stones are covered with a hard glassy glaze of unknown origin. The question of who did all this and when remains open. In some places, the cuts go underground or under ruins. Lidia Efimova drew attention to the dry areas in the shape of elongated rectangles. They are deep from two to five meters, separated by shafts, and connected in the form of trenches. The bottom of these supposed dwellings is lined with cobblestones.

It is known that in many places on Earth there are underground cavities where, theoretically, someone could exist. For example, entire colossal caves were found near Giza; in Turkey, underground man-made cities were found (one of them is Derinkuyu), obviously built for life, for a long stay in them.

These cities are located at a distance of 30-40 kilometers from each other and there is an underground tunnel between them. In these cities, air ventilation and all communications are provided. These cities are 8-story deep into the earth with streets, squares, wells... Interestingly, there are no traces of soot, which means they didn’t use fire there. This is a question that baffles scientists. Some cities in Turkey were found in the middle of the 19th century, Derinkuyu - about 50 years ago. Now tourists are taken there.

In Greece, where the Parthenon is, caves on the island of Crete (the Minotaur still ran there), in the mountains South America, in Yukotan, in Tibet there is nothing to say. IN North America scientists believe that the center underground passages on their continent is Mount Shasta. American esotericists consider it the navel of the Earth. But some excavations have not yet yielded results.

Popular rumor persistently says that there are underground cities in Siberia (under the Putorana plateau, for example) and, of course, in our Urals (from the Arctic to Tibet you can walk underground). And in the Caucasus there are underground cities. In short, everywhere. Sometimes these underground structures are made of giant stone blocks, which makes them similar to Egyptian pyramids. For thousands of years in different parts of the Earth there have been legends about underground cities, the gateway to the kingdom of Gods and monsters. Is there any truth behind these myths?

There is a version that the tunnels penetrate the entire Earth, including under the oceans from continent to continent; they are called paleotunnels. They are thousands of kilometers long. They have glassy smooth walls. Nowadays, building a tunnel of several tens of kilometers is a very labor-intensive and complex process. It is clear that paleotunnels were built by representatives of ancient civilizations who had completely different technologies. For example, Lemurian dragons - lizards could burn them for their movement, after they had to leave the surface of the Earth.

Underground cities are not fiction, but fact. And there are many of them. In Russia, there are known underground monasteries, catacombs in the Crimea, artificial, that is, man-made caves in the Caucasus, the Urals, Altai and other places. The Baksan and Malkinskoe gorges, running parallel to each other in Kabardino-Balkaria, are probably connected with each other. There is also an underground " Old city", the entrance to which is located in the mountain. A river flows underground, along which a street leads to the square. In the middle of the square there is something like a sacred stone. Local elders told about this. Kosmopoisk organized an expedition to the Old Town. It turned out that the narrow opening of meters After 30-40, the place is quite seismic, there could have been earthquakes. The researchers spent two seasons clearing it, but still digging and digging. The Kabardians say that some other people lived here before them, and on the surface. land and under

There is an assumption that such underground catacomb cities are located everywhere and especially under all major cities. I wonder if anyone lives there now? According to legends, these cities were built by giant people (narts) or, on the contrary, by dwarf people. But judging by the height of the tunnels, they are designed just for people of about our height.

In the center of the Kola Peninsula in Russian Lapland there are the most interesting natural and cultural monuments, associated with the pagan past of the Sami or Lapp people. These are the Great Grandfather Rocks, resembling the heads of people who, according to ancient Sami legends, are their great-grandfathers. And also, the famous seid - the sacred Flying Stone, which once served as an object of worship and a place for performing religious rituals.

They were first described at the beginning of the century in his book “In the Land of the Flying Stone” by ethnographer Vladimir Vladimirovich Charnolussky, a member of the Lopar expedition of 1926-1929. A guide from local residents. Almost 70 years have passed since then, the Flying Stone and the Great Ancestors found themselves forgotten and lost in the Kola taiga.

The Kola Peninsula is an amazing corner of our country, a real landmark of the European North. Relatively small in area, it is located in the area of ​​three natural zones: taiga, forest-tundra and tundra, which stretch in narrow strips from southeast to northwest. There are short ones here mountain ranges, covered with white caps of snowfields that do not melt in summer and vast plains with numerous lakes and swamps. The peninsula is the most accessible for visiting, unlike other polar territories of our country, which have a special, enchanting northern exoticism.

The Sami - the indigenous inhabitants of the peninsula - until the beginning of this century remained a people shrouded in secrets, legends, and incredible rumors. Although there is probably no such people in the North that have been studied so much. Thus, the question of its origin, where it came from on the Kola Peninsula and how it was formed, has not been fully clarified. Their pre-Christian beliefs were poorly studied. From time immemorial, the Lapps were known as powerful sorcerers or shamans, to whom Ivan the Terrible turned for help. The traditional image of the northern shaman, widespread throughout Europe, is precisely the image of the Lapland shaman. Folk tales and legends sometimes turned the inhabitants of Lapland into terrible one-eyed monsters. Therefore, this people aroused great interest among ethnographers, anthropologists, historians, and archaeologists. Vladimir Charnolussky was a participant in several expeditions to Russian Lapland. He scrupulously and carefully collected and studied the folklore of the Sami, their fairy tales, myths, and incidents. He described the life, clothing, and household items of this people. By the way, this is the most labor-intensive work in all ethnography, since the Lapps, like other original peoples, are extremely reluctant to share their secrets. And here it’s not enough to gain trust, live side by side with them for years, here you need to be an experienced psychologist and fanatically love your job.

Preserving for history and science the fading, disappearing culture of one of the most mysterious peoples, Charnolussky did a great job, which is reflected in his already mentioned book. It fell into my hands when developing the next route along the Kola Peninsula. V.V. Charnolussky paid a lot of attention to the study of the pre-Christian beliefs of the Lapps. This people once had two religious cults: the cult of the highest gods and the cult of sacred stones - seids. It was believed that shamans or noids simply did not die. When the time came, they went into remote places, into the tundra, and there they turned into stone. But they did not lose their magical properties. The Lapps treated such stones with great respect, strangely distinguishing them from many other similar boulders. There were seids for the most part of natural origin - large boulders standing out on the tops of hills - waraks and mountains, left after glaciation. Sometimes they rested on several small boulders, as if on a pedestal. And sometimes the Lapps, apparently, created seids themselves, laying out houris or a semblance of a sculpture of a person from small boulders, especially highlighting the head and hat. As a rule, each seid had its own history or legend associated with the life of the noida from which it originated. The Lapps said that the seida contained a certain spirit or force that could affect hunting, healing from illness, and bring good luck. Moreover, if you do not treat the seid, or rather the spirit enclosed in it, with due respect and attention, the spirit leaves the seid and the stone becomes empty. Sacrifices were made to the seids: lard, which was used to smear the stone, the blood of killed animals, bullets, which were left next to it, deer antlers, exposed with branches up. To this day, piles of deer antlers, or rather their decaying remains, have been preserved by some once famous seids in the vicinity of the village of Lovozero. One of the greatest seids on the Kola Peninsula was the Flying Stone, which Charnolussky managed to visit. The Lapps also especially revered their Great-Grandfathers - stone remains that looked like human heads. The Lapps believed that these people were their ancestors, they came from afar and were petrified here, bequeathing this land to them. Among them, the heads of the Old Man and the Old Woman stand out. There are many legends and superstitious fears associated with them. Local residents at the beginning of the century avoided visiting these places unnecessarily, but they were known throughout the peninsula. Charnolussky had to work hard to find a guide who could take him to these protected places.

Vladimir Charnolussky dedicated separate chapters of his book to the great-grandfathers and the Flying Stone, reviving forgotten legends and sagas associated with them in people’s memory.

Our route in the center of the Kola Peninsula partially followed the footsteps of the expedition of Vladimir Charnolussky, and we decided to try our luck to find the monuments he described. They can have both historical and cultural value, and they are also interesting tourist sites. Charnolussky, in his descriptions of the famous seid and Great Grandfathers, gave good guidelines for their location. By topographic map We determined the approximate search area - it was located in the vicinity of Lake Vuliyavr.

Chalmny - Varre The cabin of the Mi-8 helicopter was cramped. Boxes with goods for remote villages and backpacks of our expedition left almost no room for passengers. All the troubles of packing are left behind, two days of travel to reserved seat carriage train Moscow - Murmansk, a long wait for the weather at the airport in the village of Lovozero, which has already disappeared into the bluish haze of the horizon. And below floated the forest-tundra with numerous mirrors of lakes and reddish spots of swamps. Far in the north one could see Keiva, gray with lichens - rocky hills stretching from west to east across the entire peninsula, and in the south the blue ribbon of Ponoi, the very large river peninsula. And here is Krasnoshchelye - a fairly large village in the center of the Kola Peninsula, an ancient Lapp settlement. The helicopter was met by a crowd of children on bicycles. They took us along the shortest route to the Ponoy River, along which we were going to raft on a catamaran and inflatable boat to Lake Nizhnekamenskoye. There were six of us: Tatyana, Yaroslav and Alexander - students of the biology department of Kaluga University, geologist Yura Uradovsky, his wife Anya and I - the leader of the expedition. In two trips we moved all our things to the river bank and looked into the village council to introduce ourselves. Only late in the evening did we finally pack up our watercraft and, pursued by a flock of mosquitoes, set off down the river. The pond here is quite wide, the banks are overgrown with forest. Occasionally there were huts where local residents stopped while fishing or haymaking. We also took advantage of the hospitality of one of them, stopping for the night. Walls and ceilings black with soot, a three-centimeter layer of dead mosquitoes on the windowsill, a rusty potbelly stove, a table, bunks, various rubbish on the floor - the usual decoration of such camps. But their roof, warmth and the smell of smoked fish create a kind of coziness.

On the third day of the journey, our expedition arrived in the village of Chalmny-Varre. Like Krasnoshchelye, this is also an old Lapp churchyard, settled among vast swamps on a rocky promontory near the Ponoya riverbed. There are only three buildings left from the churchyard here, two of which are residential, but only in the summer, when you can graze sheep, store hay and fish. In the village we were met by Nikolai Kuznetsov, a native resident of Chalmna-Varre. A red flag fluttered above his house on a long pole, probably as a sign that the Soviet government, which had ruined this village, had not yet left. The roof of the house was crowned with deer antlers, and fish was dried on ropes stretched near the house, despite the drizzling rain. Cleanly cleaned, cut and unfolded along the ridge, it still manages to dry on rare sunny days.

Nikolai was delighted to meet him, as were all the rare guests in this wilderness. Over tea, he told us for a long time about what used to be here big village, and how they practically liquidated it, having decided in high circles that its further existence was hopeless. A large reindeer herding state farm, based here, was moved to Krasnoshchelye. Residents also moved there, dismantling their houses. But the fact is that the state plans envisaged the construction of a large hydroelectric power station on Ponoye. A huge reservoir was supposed to overflow in the center of the Kola Peninsula, flooding the taiga, swamps, and the headwaters of some rivers. Now Nikolai is the only one who lives here more or less permanently, sometimes traveling to Krasnoshchelye in the winter. Once, American fishing tourists, who came on package tours during the salmon run, were amazed by his Robinson life and dropped a box of food from a helicopter. After drinking tea, I asked Nikolai: “What does the name of the village of Chalmny-Varre mean?” - In the Lop language... “turban” means eyes, “varre” means forest, and together it means “wherever you look, there is forest.” And before it was called Ivanovka, after the surname of the first inhabitants. As a sign of the truth of the name, he waved his hand around, pointing to the forests surrounding the village. His answer surprised me somewhat, since V.V. Charnolussky translated this strange name as “Black Eye”, claiming that this is what a lonely hill looks like among the swamps, on which the village is nestled. And the forest mostly stretched along the horizon. But we didn't argue. And Nikolai continued: “Our village is very old, ancient people lived here, did you see a stone with drawings on the shore?” Let me show you. We began to descend to the river along a barely noticeable path among the stones. It must be said that the village is literally located among scatterings of huge boulders, and you can only walk here along these paths with the constant fear of breaking your legs. Nikolai led us to a flat rock on the shore, where we moored the catamaran. Looking carefully at the stone, we noticed some strange signs, figures of people, animals - petroglyphs. Nikolai said that one of these flat stones with drawings was taken to the Lovozero Museum in winter. As experts determined, these petroglyphs are about 4 thousand years old... It is interesting that the village residents did not really know anything about these drawings. The stones lay conveniently at the water's edge, and women washed clothes on them, not paying attention to the embossed patterns. After taking a few pictures, we continued our journey through Ponoi. The figure of Nicholas was visible for a long time on the stone headland of Chalmny-Varre... Almost immediately after the village the river bifurcates into two branches. The swamp, which occupies a vast floodplain, ends here and the Ponoy flows through the wooded banks. Soon it again merges into one channel and is again split into many branches and channels before flowing into Lake Nizhnekamensk, forming a real delta. The lake is very shallow, overgrown with reeds in the middle part, a weak current pulls the water south, to where the Ponoy flows out of the lake in two branches again. Boulders stick out of the water almost everywhere. Nizhnekamensk Lake used to be called Vuliyavr, which means “Dirty Lake,” although the water in it is clear... Lead clouds floated low over the lake, and in the north it was visible how the city of Medvezhya was gradually disappearing behind a veil of rain. An elastic wind from the south drove up dark waves and almost stopped our movement. We had to change the route a little: surrendering to the will of the wind, we crossed the lake at northeast direction and ended up on the site of the former Nizhnekamensky churchyard.

Here stood a well-built hunting lodge with a small barn. All that remains of the old churchyard are several square pits overgrown with fireweed and one, unknown how preserved, vezha - an ancient nomadic dwelling of the Sami. A vezha is a frame made of poles, placed on a foundation of logs, covered with turf. On top there is a hole for ventilation, a low door on the side. A hundred years ago, the Lapps stayed in such a dwelling only during the warm season. They were built in fishing and hunting areas. Our vezha was modernized and served as a bathhouse. The frame of poles was covered with rusty sheet iron. The age of the Vezha, it seems, will end in a year or two. The unknown owner of the winter hut brought building materials and soon, probably, a bathhouse as substantial as the house and barn will appear here. After a day spent on the water, under the constantly drizzling cold rain, with the ubiquitous mosquitoes and midges, the hunting lodge with a stone stove, bunks covered with deer skins, smelling of smoked fish, seemed heavenly cozy to us. A wood grouse's tail, spread out like a fan, was fixed above the window at the table, and outside the window, through a veil of drizzle, behind the pointed tops of spruce trees, in the night twilight of the polar day, a lake could be seen. Sitting by a burning candle with a mug of hot tea, remembering the events of the past day, you begin to realize how little a person sometimes needs to be happy...

Great-grandfathers The morning of the next day did not bring any improvement in the weather. One could see streams of rain falling on the lake from the clouds brought from the northeast. And yet we went to the mountain where, according to our assumption, the Great-Grandfathers were located. Between the Nizhnekamensky churchyard and the Great Grandfather Mountain there are three vast swamps, in the middle of which rise low, forested hills. One of the swamps is the floodplain of a small stream with a rocky and winding bed. In all likelihood, this is the Bloody Brook described by Charnolussky. It is named so because supposedly in the upper reaches its bottom is strewn with human bones, left here after the great battle between the Lapps and the Chud. Of course, this is just a legend. The transition took a little over an hour. Landscapes - truly fantastic - replaced each other. The slopes of the mountains and the hollows between them were covered with a gray carpet of reindeer moss, and on it the dark green silhouettes of low-growing polar pines with thick brown trunks stood out in contrast. Here and there, blocks of stone seemed to grow: from small boulders scattered across the moss carpet to entire bastions. Vertical and horizontal cracks and faults spread across the rocks; from above, clinging to the cracks with their roots, grew stunted polar pines, the appearance of which suggested the powerful force of confrontation between life and cruel north winds- the breath of the Arctic. The drizzling rain gave the reddish color of the granites and gneisses from which the rocks were composed a special expressiveness. We peered closely at the stones in the hope of seeing the Old Man and the Old Woman. At first nothing worked. I was also tormented by the doubt that we had made a mistake and had come to the wrong place. But suddenly, one after another, they began to discern some images and faces in the rocks, and each one saw something different and tried to explain and show it to others. After some time, we clearly saw the face of the Old Man, who especially stood out in the entire group of images. Under the low, slightly sloping forehead one could discern narrow eyes, a large nose was clearly visible, and a massive beard, lips, and cheekbones were clearly outlined. His gaze was directed into the distance. It seemed that he was looking for something on the horizon and was heading there himself. The old man was clearly visible only in profile; as soon as you moved a couple of tens of meters to the side, his features were lost.

Among other stones and cracks, the face of the Old Woman was revealed. It seemed to be covered with wrinkles. Tightly compressed lips and deeply sunken eyes emphasized that this was indeed an old woman. Her gaze, and her whole appearance, like the Old Man’s, is directed into the distance, east towards the horizon. The size and expressiveness of these faces amazed and excited the imagination. And among the stones, more and more new faces of people were discerned, frozen in some single impulse, a single desire to achieve something, going somewhere, but petrified in motion. The illusion was created that the bodies of these people were hidden by the mountain, and their heads had already appeared above it. We wandered around them for a long time, peering into their faces, trying to look at everything from different angles, not to miss anything. Then they decided to climb the rocks to examine the surroundings and, perhaps, see what these petrified people were striving for...

The view from the cliffs was amazing. It was possible to take in the entire Nizhnekamensk Lake at one glance. It was clear that its middle part was overgrown with reeds. Far to the south one could see the riverbed of the Ponoi flowing out of the lake. To the north, the pine taiga stretched to the very horizon on a white blanket of reindeer moss. In the northeast stood Mount Seivin, with which a legend is associated - a fusion of ancient Sami tales, or sakk, and Bible stories . According to legend, Noah's ark landed on this mountain when the famous biblical flood subsided. To search for land, Noah released a duck from the ark... Far in the west, Mount Kolokolnaya could be seen, and in the northwest, Mount Medvezhya began to hide in the gray haze of drizzling rain. Low clouds floated across the sky, adding gloominess to the landscape around us. There was no wind, and everything around was enveloped in a ringing silence. Only two peregrine falcons circled above our heads, cutting the air with piercing cries. It is not difficult to imagine the feelings of the ancient Sami who once came here and, in the light of the red sun hanging low above the horizon, saw the petrified faces of people in these majestic rocks. Fear of the forces of nature, supported by pagan beliefs, created among the ancient people the perception of these rocks in the image of their own ancestors who came to this land and petrified. In the word “Great-grandfathers” one can guess “ancestors”, “great-grandfathers”... Having examined the tops of the rocks, in 2 places we found concavities round, like bowls, filled, as in the time of Charnolussky, with sacred water. It was from them, according to the Sami legend “On the Beginning of Man,” that a stream of water burst out, so strong that it soon flooded the earth, destroying everything. I scooped up water from the bowl with my palms - it turned out to be surprisingly transparent and clean, as if it wasn’t rain, as if an unknown source was oozing from the depths of the rock, which had once caused a flood. We again stepped onto the soft carpet of reindeer moss to once again peer into the faces frozen in stone. Somewhere here, as V.V. Charnolussky described, there is a stone Babylon labyrinth, similar to the one in Kandalaksha. It differs only in that it is far removed from the sea, thereby refuting the opinion that such structures were built by Pomors on the shore. But the Pomors erected such monuments with the hope of success in their fishing expeditions, and the local labyrinth was apparently used by the Sami for religious rituals and fortune-telling. However, after examining the slopes of the mountains, we did not find the labyrinth. Perhaps he simply disappeared over time under the lush carpet of reindeer moss. But on one of the gentle ledges of the rocks we came across a small houri made of angular stones. From it a wonderful panorama of the Great Grandfathers opened up, and behind them, in the background, Nizhnekamensk Lake was hidden in a bluish haze. After a small dispute about who could build the guria and for what purpose, we once again returned to the Great-Grandfathers, to finally admire the wonderful monument of nature and human culture. After an hour and a half trek through the taiga and swamps, we came to a hunting hut, where Yura and Yaroslav, concerned about our long absence, were waiting for us. The friends were fishing all this time. The catch consisted of several large perches, and for dinner there was a fish fry.

Flying stone In the morning, our inflatable boats crossed the lake in south direction. As a sign of gratitude, we left condensed milk and sweets for the unknown owner of the winter quarters, taking them from the expedition's supplies. Having easily found a passage in the thickets of the middle part of the lake, called “salma,” we headed towards Ponoi. A weak current helped to float on the lake, and the oars occasionally knocked on the bottom. The Ponoy flowed out of the lake in a wide branch, in which black boulders stuck out everywhere. In the evening we entered the riverbed. The weak breeze had long ago stopped rippling the surface of the Ponoi waters, and the river, clear as a mirror, stretched to the horizon, reflecting the spiky spruce trees on the low river banks. Somewhere here there must be Mount Seydapakhk with its famous seid. While examining the surroundings with binoculars, I discovered a black spot of a large boulder on one of the mountains. It soon became clear that this boulder stood on a pedestal not far from the top of the mountain. We moored to the shore in a place from which, as it seemed to us, it was closest to the stone. It was already clear that we had found the Flying Stone described by V.V. Charnolussky, and it was some 500 m from us.

However, the approaches to the mountain turned out to be very difficult. Our path ran through a swamp, completely overgrown with thick willows, tall as a wall. Having broken through the swamp, we entered a swampy forest that hid all landmarks. Making our way along it, we almost passed by the mountain, but soon a rise began to be felt, and the lush swamp vegetation gave way to reindeer moss. The forest thinned out, there were spruce trunks everywhere, all of them falling in the same direction. This is the work of the fierce autumn winds blowing from the north. If you know this feature, you can completely do without a compass. But now the forest was left behind, and the Flying Stone appeared before us in all its grandeur. Conversations fell silent. In a kind of reverent silence, we carefully climbed the rocks, covering the remaining meters. Here it is - a miracle of nature, an accident of geological processes, or perhaps the result of the creation of some mystical force? On a three-meter boulder-pedestal of a pyramidal-triangular shape rested a giant stone flattened at the top and bottom. It lay in such a way that only a smaller part of it was on the pedestal, at least that’s what it looked like from below. It seemed that push him and he would fall from his bed, or maybe he would fly up and go to seek peace in best places, where there will be no such unceremonious strangers as he did once in ancient times... According to the Sami legend, this stone flew from somewhere in Scandinavia. He searched for a long time for a calm and fertile place, falling to the ground in many places in Lapland, and did not find it. Either he didn’t like the mountains, or the waters and winds, or people treated him without due respect. And so he found his place here, on Lake Vuliyavr, on high mountain, covered with gray lichens. He sat down on his future bed, as if he had not yet finally decided to stay here. He turned his face to the vast Ponoi swamp with the holy hidden lake Seydyavr and he liked this land. Here he found peace and relaxation. So since then it has rested here, while this corner of nature still remains untouched, while people still treat it with due respect and reverence. History has not brought to us the full legend of the Flying Stone, only its echoes. The Sami were extremely reluctant to let strangers into their secrets, even those with whom they had lived together for a long time and whom they respected. The secrets of the Sami people are only for the Sami themselves. They did not tell the legend of the Flying Stone and V.V. Charnolussky, although in those days some of them still remembered it. Charnolussky caught only fragments of this myth, which I cited here. For now, these scraps are all we have left. And also this stone. We carefully touched it with our palms. Surprisingly, the rocks from which the stone and the pedestal are made are completely different. The rocks are very dark, even black, while the pedestal and outcrops of the surrounding rocks consist of some light granite gneisses, which are also covered in places with silvery lichens. So in terms of color, the Flying Stone contrasts very strongly with the background surrounding it and stands out well against it.

I think that any person, even if he knew nothing about this stone, if he found himself near it, would experience a feeling of surprise. What can we say about the ancient Lapps, who revered holy stones... They deified the Flying Stone. They came to him with their sorrows and illnesses, expecting help from him and good luck in their affairs. How many times have Noida soothsayers taken advantage of the fear and respect that the Flying Stone inspired in people! In the last century, during the active Christianization of the peoples of the North, Russian missionaries tried to topple this stone and destroy it as a symbol of paganism. For this purpose, scaffolding was erected around it. But the attempt was unsuccessful. We stood on a rock next to the sacred stone. To the west from Mount Seydapakhk a vast swamp stretched to the horizon, as flat as a table. Nearby, a small round lake shone blue. This, apparently, was Lake Seydyavr described by Charnolussky - Lake Svyato. This name does not appear on any topographic map. For a long time, the existence of the lake was kept in the strictest confidence by the Sami: one of the cult rituals, which not so long ago was annually held here, was associated with it. V.V. Charnolussky heard a whole saga about this ritual from local residents. Many residents of the Kola Peninsula still know fragments of it. The essence of the ritual was that once a year, on the day specified by Noida, all residents of the surrounding churchyards went to the lake to fish. The shaman chose the most beautiful girl- a symbolic sacrifice to the lake. It was decorated with seaweed raised from the bottom and carried on the first longboat. The procession swam into the lake in complete silence. The signal to start fishing was given by the same shaman, guided by the observations of various natural phenomena, in particular cloudberry blossoms. The nets were cast only once, but so many were caught that there was enough for everyone. After fishing, everyone left the lake. The girl was taken away with them, but on the last longboat. The channel into the lake was carefully masked. There are many similar lakes on the Kola Peninsula. Apparently, they all served as a place for such a ritual. Usually they are remote from settlements, hidden from the eyes of strangers, and there is only one road leading to them - a narrow channel. The most famous of these lakes is Seydozero in the Lovozero tundra, where on our last expedition we first heard this legend from local residents.

We no longer had time to stay longer at the Flying Stone, and we, shrouded in a cloud of mosquitoes, went to the shore of Ponoi. Someone noticed that we were not bothered by mosquitoes at all near the stone, although there was no wind that could blow them away from the top of the mountain. There was a real calm, typical for these parts in the evening and at night in the summer. Seeing something supernatural in this, we moved away from the shore and pressed on the oars. Ahead of us lay a difficult portage into the Strelna River basin, a long rafting along the river with rapids to the coast White Sea. But the main goal of the expedition was achieved. We found forgotten monuments of the old Lapp culture, which were described and brought to us by V.V. Charnolussky in his wonderful work “In the Land of the Flying Stone”. And although many decades have passed since then, they have remained intact and continue to be of cultural and historical value.

If you ask the average Russian which stones are the most famous in the world, the answer will be predictable - Stonehenge. Some will remember balancing stones in the canyons of America. After some thought, they will add Easter Island to the list of idols. And only a few will probably remember that on the territory of our Motherland there are places where stones have been worshiped since ancient times. Although these places are very close - on the Kola Peninsula. And these stones are not ordinary boulders, but seids.

You can recognize seids immediately, even if you have never seen them before: they are striking because they seem to have been placed on a support made of other stones (usually three) by the hand of some unknown giant. Obviously, it was this feature that gave rise to speculation that long before the Sami, the indigenous inhabitants of the Kola region, settled in these places, here was the mysterious Hyperborea, a country of heroes who lived for a thousand years and created a unique civilization.

Indeed, it is difficult not to believe in the existence of giants at the sight of a gigantic stone structure among the tundra, surrounded by a scattering of granite fragments overgrown with lichen. However, there is another, quite prosaic explanation: according to scientists, the melting glacier was not capable of such a thing. No matter how you look at the origin of seids, it is impossible to deny that they have some special appeal. It is not for nothing that they are still considered sacred among the Sami. The most famous seid of the Kola Peninsula is the Flying Stone.

According to legend, a huge stone flew here from Scandinavia. He flew slowly and for a long time, choosing a place where he would land on the ground forever. But I found it only in the most hidden corner of the peninsula, next to sacred lake Seydyavr. The legend claims that it will lie here until people disturb the peace of the local swamps and forests. Until then, he will protect the Sami. When the Christianization of the Sami began, Orthodox missionaries tried to destroy the Flying Stone and topple this pagan symbol. But the seid resisted.

The full legend of the Flying Stone has not reached us: the cautious Sami did not tell it to the first researcher of their history, V.V. Charnolussky, although at the end of the 20s, when an ethnographic expedition was carried out, many of them knew this myth well. What is striking is not so much the size of the stone and the small area of ​​support, but the fact that the rocks at the base of the seid are completely different from its rocks. The seid itself is almost coal-black, and it lies on light granite gneisses, which make up the surrounding rocky outcrops.

A multi-ton boulder in the middle of endless swamps covered with sparse forest evokes spiritual awe and awakens faith in the supernatural. The Sami especially revered the Flying Stone: shamans asked for advice from it, the sick were brought here, and the most important decisions were made here. He still enjoys respect among them; the Sami do not take every stranger to the seid. But getting here on your own is almost impossible: there are no roads in these parts, in winter you can still travel by snowmobile, and in summer - only by helicopter. Then you will have to sail along river channels, where no navigator will help.

But anyone who visits the Flying Stone at least once will forever remember this symbol of the power of nature and understand that the true values ​​of life are far from everyday bustle.

The mysterious noids that inhabited the Kola Peninsula were werewolves - they turned into various animals. An expedition of scientists that visited the peninsula discovered sources of powerful energy there, which gave the noids power over crowds of people.
The head of the expedition, Professor Ernst MULDASHEV, told AiF readers about this.

Noidas have almost disappeared today, but the objects through which they cast spells - seids - are numerous on the peninsula. Seids are huge free-standing stones, usually round in shape, installed by someone in a rather strange way. Their sizes range from 0.5 ✕0.5 m to 10 ✕10 m or more, weight - from 0.5 to 30 or more tons. Their main feature is that they stand on a narrow base in a very unstable position. An analogy arises with the idols of Easter Island, which stood in the same position, but were held by some energy coming from underground. Seids are usually installed on flat stones on mountain tops. Sometimes you wonder how a huge stone was brought there. Not a single seid repeats another.
- So who made these mysterious seids and why?
- Seids of the Kola Peninsula are being studied by a group of scientists from St. Petersburg under the leadership of V.V. Volkov.

They discovered that the seid changes the background radiation around it, sometimes increasing it and sometimes decreasing it. And the psychic of this group, Marina Karelina, revealed that seids have energy that intensifies during the ritual sacrifices of the Sami. In addition, she was able to trace that the energy of one seid flows to another, a third, and so on, forming a kind of energy network. Vasily Volkov believes that seids are structures of a once existing megalithic culture. Hyperboreans, for example.

And we can agree with this, taking into account that megalithic (from large monolithic blocks) structures are scattered all over the world: dolmens of the Caucasus and the island of Crete, megalithic circles in Altai and Mongolia, megalithic blocks in Lebanon and Egypt, megalithic temples of Syria, and etc. But... The essence of this “but” is that many seids look as if they were made yesterday. There are few old seids, it seems that they are periodically repaired.
And one day the guide showed Volkov’s group a seid that had appeared about a month ago. Therefore, the question of their origin hangs in the air.
- What do the descendants of the Noids themselves say about these stones?
- The Lapp Sami have many legends and fairy tales on this topic. From them it is clear that seids create spirits together with creatures underworld- wasted away. Noids sometimes ask spirits to create seid to make it easier to cast spells. The word "seid" is translated from the Sami language as "sacred". One may recall Blavatsky’s expression “Stone is crystallized Time.”

Taking into account the statement of the brilliant Russian scientist Nikolai Kozyrev that time is the most powerful energy in the Universe, it is quite logical to assume that seids are created for those beings who are able to use the Energy of time, or the so-called stone strength. Noidas could also use the power of seids.
- Did the expeditions of the NKVD and the German Ahnenerbe study seids?
- The NKVD expedition led by A. Barchenko was not particularly interested in them.

But the Ahnenerbe expeditions were very interested in seids. Local researcher Vladislav Troshin found materials that the Nazis tried to develop the so-called seid weapons. Ahnenerbe scientists realized the power of seids and attracted noids to implement it. Their main goal was an attempt to direct the power of the seids of the Kola Peninsula to Great Britain in order to cause a local cataclysm there - time was supposed to compress, turning the British into feeble, decaying old men.

A version of a local earthquake was also developed.
-Have you been to Seydozero, which is covered in legends? Are there many seids there?
- What hasn’t been written about Seydozero! They see there Bigfoot, they say there are pyramids, a monument in the form of female breasts, a giant candle, an image of Kuiva - a huge man - on a rock and much more. We thoroughly explored this lake and its surroundings. We didn't see the Seyds here. The image of Kuiva on the rock was seen - it most likely has a natural character. We also came to the conclusion that the pyramids, the monument to women’s breasts and much more also have a natural character - it’s just that someone with a rich imagination saw these forms in them. However, Seydozero, in my opinion, keeps secrets; It’s not for nothing that one of the points on the Labyrinth line, calculated by the brilliant mathematician Shamil Tsyganov, displays here. We met most of the seids on Mount Vottovaara of Death in Karelia, which we climbed, and in the area of ​​Mount Liinakhamari on the coast of the Barents Sea, the same mountain from where the Germans launched their flying saucers.www

But if you learn everything about accounting in the work of an individual entrepreneur, then you will no longer be afraid of any audits, tax or paperwork! Bookkeeping will simply turn into a stress-free routine!

Another sacred mystery of the Russian North is the huge walking stones - seids. Some expeditions observed unique phenomenon spontaneous movement or overturning of giant stones. Geologists, repeatedly visiting the seid plateau in the Lovozero Mountains (Murmansk region), discovered that some seids are located in other places. But there are no traces of any movement! One inevitably recalls the Sami legends about sacred seids - flying stones. The famous ethnographer Vladimir Charnolussky called the entire North the Land of the Flying Stone.
“Indeed, there is a phenomenon of so-called walking stones,” archaeologist Kirill Veselago confirms the opinion of ethnographer Charnolussky. – The fact of the ability of huge stones to move mysteriously has not left physicists indifferent for many years.

SAIDS OF THE KOLA PENINSULA

Seyd can't help but catch his eye. When I first saw such a stone, I was told that it was just a mark that the Lapps used to mark the deer path through the pass. A massive block of one and a half meters in height, almost square in shape, was clearly visible against the background of snow, strangely held on the mountainside. She was visible from everywhere. Just a flying stone, they told me. Just sayd.

“God Storyunkare often appears during fishing and bird hunting in the form of a figure of a very beautiful man, dressed in clothes the same as customary there, only black... and the only difference is that his feet are like those of birds. The figure of Storyunkare is made of stone... and they say that the idols of the Lapps are large stones in forests, deserts or on the mountains... These stones are rough and not shaped in any way, but they erect them and thus make statues of God between the rocks, on mountains, on river banks or near trails.” This is how the royal geographer from Uppsala I. Schaeffer spoke about the Scandinavian seids in his famous work “Lapponia” in 1673.

In the Edda the word Seidhr is found in the sense of “magic”; even more often there are words with the root seid in the sagas: sidha - to conjure, seidhberendr - wizard. But Schaeffer is most likely right: “The word “seid”,” he writes, “denotes all kinds of divinity.” Seid is a Russian word, in other languages, for example, in Finnish, it sounds like “seita” (seita), in Norwegian and Swedish as “seide”, in Lapland “sieidde” (sayad). On the territory of these four countries is Saamiedna, the country of the Sami (Lapps or Lapps), the country of the Seids. In Russia, this is the territory of the Kola Peninsula. Or the Kola Peninsula (“fish” in Sami), as it was called before the revolution and is still called in all other languages.

Ancient Finnish roots “lappes” - “banished” or “lapu” - “ultimate border” and “witch” at the same time... The Danes were afraid of Swedish sorcerers, they were afraid of Norwegian ones, the Norwegians believed in Finnish sorcery, but even the Finns were afraid of lapps. Back in 1584, Ivan the Terrible sent for the best magi - the Laplanders - in order to interpret the phenomenon of the comet. They predicted his death, which came true on March 18 of the same year.

They are perhaps the first reindeer herders in Europe to still maintain their way of life. From the time of the last Glacier. Foggy and dark Pohjala - the personification of the “lower world” in the Karelian-Finnish epic “Kalevala” - is Lapland. Land of eternal darkness. Or, conversely, the never-setting sun. Depending on the season. Maybe the “ultimate border” is what we call the “arctic circle”?

A classic seid is a stone ranging in size from an average boulder to a large block, placed on one or more smaller stone stands. Often one or more stones lie on top. Sometimes seids are placed on the most unstable part - an edge or a narrow peak. It happens that the stones also stand on a steep slope or the very edge of a cliff. In general, apparent “instability” is their characteristic feature. As if a block would fall at the slightest touch. But it has been standing for thousands of years! I would venture to suggest that the seid, like most religious buildings, can represent a model of a world that is outwardly unstable, but very stable.

Academician B. Rybakov suggested that the seid symbolizes the magical Sampo mill from the Kalevala epic, and that it is a giant Neolithic grain grinder - a primitive device made of two flat stones. It is difficult to imagine the mythical Sampo. Made at the beginning of time by the blacksmith Ilmarinen from two stones (doesn’t this resemble the classic seid - one stone on the other?) and having some “roots” (“seid’s stand”?), the huge structure was kept in the cliff. The abduction of Sampo from the dark lands of Pohjala is the main plot of the epic. Capturing the idol of another tribe is a common theme in mythology. Draw your own conclusions. It just needs to be said that belonging to an agricultural cult - a grain grater among the moss moss and granite of Lapland - is an unlikely phenomenon. Besides, a grain grater with roots... Maybe Sampo is a symbol of the rotation of the world?

Many doubt that seids are man-made structures. In fact, the stones, although strangely placed, are not processed in any way. But it would be even more difficult to explain their existence as a result of the movement and melting of the glacier. Firstly, there is nothing like this in other places on the planet that were also under ice. Secondly, entire complexes of stones in some places of the peninsula and their absence in others can hardly be explained by natural causes. Thirdly, the “stands” of seids are often stones of other types, often just three stones. Many more arguments can be given. And Schaeffer wrote that seids are “erected.”

Throughout Lapland until the 19th century. offerings to the seids of fish, meat, blood and deer antlers were described. The horns were always placed with the ends up. Perhaps each Sami clan (saivo) had its own stone. Women were not allowed near the sacred stones, and the head of the clan himself was afraid to come close to the stone. In many famous stones there lived the spirit of one or another “noida” - a Lapland shaman. If there was a lack of attention to himself, he could bring big trouble, leave the stone or fly away with it. It was believed that the stones of Stonehenge were brought from Ireland by the magician Merlin. They also thought that all seids were petrified wizards. Noida could turn to stone if called by its real name. But his spirit remained in stone.

The Laplanders never claimed that the megaliths were erected by them, just as Stonehenge was not built by the historical tribes of Britain. In archeology, there are the terms “Komsa culture” and “proto-Sami”. The erection of seids is attributed to them. Often the Sami simply call seid an old man or an old woman. Isn't this a memory of ancient people? Perhaps the Sami language, which is very different from other languages ​​of the Finno-Ugric group, has the influence of the language of this ancient people...
