The history of tartaria in the sources. Great Tartaria - a lost civilization

Only 250 years ago it was the largest state. Now official historians do not even mention him. Why is there a conspiracy of silence? Apparently, for the same reasons from which the history of the USSR is distorted. They do not need Eurasian civilization, it hinders the establishment of a "new world order."
Original taken from masterok to Velikaya Tartaria

More recently, a few years ago, the word "Tartaria" was completely unknown to the vast majority of the inhabitants of Russia. The most that a Russian person who heard it for the first time associated with was the Greek mythological Tartarus, the well-known saying “fall into tartarars”, and, possibly, the notorious Mongol-Tatar yoke. (In fairness, we note that all of them are directly related to Tartaria - a country that relatively recently occupied almost the entire territory of Eurasia and the western part of North America).

However, not so long ago, a large distribution on the Internet began to receive Maps of Great Tartaria. Let's learn a little more about this topic...

But back in the 19th century, both in Russia and in Europe, the memory of her was alive, very many knew about her. This is indirectly confirmed by the following fact. In the middle of the 19th century, European capitals were fascinated by the brilliant Russian aristocrat Varvara Dmitrievna Rimskaya-Korsakova, whose beauty and wit made the wife of Napoleon III, Empress Eugenia, turn green with envy. The brilliant Russian was called "Venus from Tartarus."

"TARTARY, a vast country in the northern parts of Asia, bounded by Siberia on the north and west: this is called Great Tartary. The Tartars who lie south of Muscovy and Siberia, are those of Astracan, Circassia, and Dagistan, situated north-west of the Caspian-sea; the Calmuc Tartars, who lie between Siberia and the Caspian-sea; the Usbec Tartars and Moguls, who lie north of Persia and India; and lastly, those of Tibet, who lie north-west of China.”

(Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. III, Edinburgh, 1771, p. 887).

Translation: “Tartaria, a huge country in the northern part of Asia, bordering Siberia in the north and west, which is called Great Tartaria. Tartars living south of Muscovy and Siberia are called Astrakhan, Cherkasy and Dagestan, living in the northwest of the Caspian Sea are called Kalmyk Tartars and which occupy the territory between Siberia and the Caspian Sea; Uzbek Tartars and Mongols, who live north of Persia and India, and, finally, Tibetan, living northwest of China").

(Encyclopedia Britannica, first edition, Volume 3, Edinburgh, 1771, p. 887).

“As follows from the British Encyclopedia of 1771, there was a vast country of Tartaria, the provinces of which had different sizes. The largest province of this empire was called Great Tartaria and covered the lands of Western Siberia, Eastern Siberia and the Far East. In the southeast, Chinese Tartary (Chinese Tartary) adjoined it [please do not confuse with China (China)]. To the south of Great Tartaria was the so-called Independent Tartary [Central Asia]. Tibetan Tartaria (Tibet) was located northwest of China and southwest of Chinese Tartaria. In the north of India was the Mongolian Tartaria (Mogul Empire) (modern Pakistan). Uzbek Tartaria (Bukaria) was sandwiched between Independent Tartaria in the north; Chinese Tartaria in the northeast; Tibetan Tartaria in the southeast; Mongolian Tartaria in the south and Persia in the southwest. In Europe, there were also several Tartaria: Muscovy or Moscow Tartaria (Muscovite Tartary), Kuban Tartaria (Kuban Tartars) and Little Tartaria (Little Tartary).

What Tartaria means was discussed above and, as follows from the meaning of this word, it has nothing to do with modern Tatars, just like the Mongol Empire has nothing to do with modern Mongolia. Mongolian Tartaria (Mogul Empire) is located on the site of modern Pakistan, while modern Mongolia is located in the north of modern China or between Great Tartaria and Chinese Tartaria.

Information about the Great Tartaria is also preserved in the 6-volume Spanish encyclopedia "Diccionario Geografico Universal" of 1795 edition, and, already in a slightly modified form, in later editions of Spanish encyclopedias. For example, back in 1928, the Spanish encyclopedia "Enciclopedia Universal Ilustrada Europeo-Americana" contains a rather extensive article about Tartaria, which starts from page 790 and takes about 14 pages. This article contains a lot of truthful information about the Motherland of our ancestors - the Great Tartary, but at the end the “breath of the times” already affects, and there are fictions that are familiar to us even now.

We provide a translation of a small fragment of the text of an article about Tartaria from this Encyclopedia of 1928 edition:

“Tartaria - for centuries this name has been applied to the entire territory of inner Asia, inhabited by hordes of Tartar-Moguls (tartaromogolas). The length of the territories that bore this name is distinguished by the area (distance) of the relief features of the 6 countries that bear this name. Tartaria extended from the Strait of Tartaria (the strait separating the island of Sakhalin from the Asian continent) and the mountain range of Tartaria (also known as Sikhota Alin - coastal mountain range), which separates the sea from Japan and the already mentioned Strait of Tartaria on one side, and up to the modern Tartar Republic , which extends to the Volga (both banks) and its tributary Kama in Russia; to the south are Mongolia and Turkestan. On the territory of this vast country lived Tartars, nomads, rude, persistent and restrained, who in ancient times were called Scythians (escitas).

On old maps, Tartaria was called the northern part of the Asian continent. For example, on the Portuguese map of 1501-04, Tartaria was called a large territory that stretches between Isartus (Jaxartus) to Okkardo (Ob), to the Ural Mountains. On the map of Ortelius (1570), Tartaria is the entire vast region from Catayo (China) to Muscovy (Russia). On the map J.B. Homman (1716) Tartaria is even longer: Great Tartaria (Tartaria Magna) stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Volga, including all of Mogolia, Kyrgyzstan and Turkestan. The last three countries were also called Independent Nomadic Tartaria (Tartaria Vagabundomni Independent), which stretched from the Amur to the Caspian Sea. Finally, on the world map la Carte Generals de toutes les Cosies du Blonde et les pavs nouvellement decouveris, published in Amsterdam in 1710 by Juan Covens and Cornelio Mortier, Tartaria is also mentioned under the name of Great Tartaria (Grande Tartarie) from the Amur Sea, which is located in the Amur Delta to the Volga. On all maps published before the end of the 18th century, Tartary is a huge area that covers the center and north of the Asian continent ... ”(Translated by Elena Lyubimova).

The fact that Europeans were very well aware of the existence of various Tartaria is also evidenced by numerous medieval geographical maps. One of the first such maps is a map of Russia, Muscovy and Tartaria, compiled by the English diplomat Anthony Jenkinson, who was the first plenipotentiary ambassador of England in Muscovy from 1557 to 1571, and concurrently a representative of the Muscovy Company - an English a trading company founded by London merchants in 1555. Jenkinson was the first Western European traveler to describe the coast of the Caspian Sea and Central Asia during his expedition to Bukhara in 1558-1560. The result of these observations were not only official reports, but also the most detailed map of areas at that time that were practically inaccessible to Europeans until that moment.

Tartaria is also in the solid world Atlas of Mercator-Hondius of the beginning of the 17th century. Jodocus Hondius (Jodocus Hondius, 1563-1612) - a Flemish engraver, cartographer and publisher of atlases and maps in 1604 bought printed forms of the Mercator world atlas, added about forty of his own maps to the atlas and published an expanded edition in 1606 under the authorship of Mercator, and identified himself as the publisher.

Abraham Ortelius (Abraham Ortelius, 1527-1598) - Flemish cartographer, compiled the world's first geographical atlas, consisting of 53 large-format maps with detailed explanatory geographical texts, which was printed in Antwerp on May 20, 1570. The atlas was called Theatrum Orbis Terrarum ( lat. Spectacle of the globe) and reflected the state of geographical knowledge at that time.

Tartaria is also on the Dutch map of Asia in 1595, and on the map of 1626 by John Speed ​​(John Speed, 1552-1629), an English historian and cartographer who published the world's first British cartographic atlas of the world, A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World). Please note that on many maps the Chinese wall is clearly visible, and China itself is located behind it, and before it was the territory of Chinese Tartary (Chinese Tartary).

Let's look at a few more foreign maps. Dutch map of Great Tartaria, Great Mughal Empire, Japan and China (Magnae Tartariae, Magni Mogolis Imperii, Iaponiae et Chinae, Nova Descriptio (Amsterdam, 1680)) by Frederik de Wit, Dutch map by Pieter Schenk.

A French map of Asia from 1692 and a map of Asia and Scythia (Scythia et Tartaria Asiatica) from 1697.

Map of Tartaria by Guillaume de Lisle (1688-1768), French astronomer and cartographer, member of the Paris Academy of Sciences (1702). He also published a world atlas (1700-1714). In 1725-47 he worked in Russia, was an academician and the first director of the academic astronomical observatory, from 1747 - a foreign honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

We have given only some of the many maps that clearly indicate the existence of a country whose name cannot be found in any modern textbook on the history of our country. How impossible it is to find any information about the people who inhabited it. About the Tartars, who are now called Tatars by all and sundry and are classified as Mongoloids. In this regard, it is very interesting to look at the images of these "Tatars". We will have to turn again to European sources. Very indicative in this case is the famous book "The Travels of Marco Polo" - that's how it was called in England. In France, it was called the "Book of the Great Khan", in other countries the "Book on the Diversity of the World" or simply "The Book". The Italian merchant and traveler himself titled his manuscript - "Description of the World." Written in Old French rather than Latin, it became popular throughout Europe.

In it, Marco Polo (1254-1324) describes in detail the history of his travels in Asia and his 17-year stay at the court of the “Mongolian” Khan Kublai. Leaving aside the question of the reliability of this book, we will turn our attention to the fact that the Europeans portrayed the "Mongols" in the Middle Ages.
26

As you can see, there is nothing Mongolian in the appearance of the “Mongolian” Great Khan Kublai. On the contrary, he and his entourage look quite Russian, one might even say European.

Oddly enough, the tradition of depicting the Mongols and Tatars in such a strange European form has been preserved further. And in the 17th, and in the 18th, and in the 19th centuries, Europeans stubbornly continued to portray the "Tatars" from Tartaria with all the signs of the people of the White Race. See, for example, how the French cartographer and engineer Male (Allain Manesson Mallet) (1630-1706) depicted "Tatars" and "Mongols", whose drawings were printed in Frankfurt in 1719. Or an engraving from 1700 depicting a Tartar princess and a Tartar prince.

From the first edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, it follows that at the end of the 18th century there were several countries on our planet that had the word Tartaria in their name. In Europe, numerous engravings of the 16th-18th and even the beginning of the 19th century have been preserved, which depict the citizens of this country - the Tartars. It is noteworthy that medieval European travelers call Tartars the peoples who lived on a vast territory that occupied most of the continent of Eurasia. With surprise, we see images of Eastern tartars, Chinese tartars, Tibetan tartars, Nogai tartars, Kazan tartars, small tartars, Chuvash tartars, Kalmyk tartars, Cherkasy tartars, tartars of Tomsk, Kuznetsk, Achinsk, etc.

Above are engravings from the books of Thomas Jefferys "Catalogue of national costumes of different peoples, ancient and modern", London, 1757-1772. in 4 volumes (A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations, Antient and Modern) and the travel collection of the Jesuit Antoine Francois Prevost (Antoine-Francois Prevost d "Exiles 1697-1763) entitled "Histoire Generale Des Voyages", published in 1760 year.

Let's see a few more engravings depicting various tartars that lived on the territory of Great Tartaria from the book of a German, professor of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences Johann Gottlieb Georgi (Johann Gottlieb Georgi 1729-1802) "Russia or a complete historical report on all the peoples living in this Empire" ( Russia or a compleat historical account of all the nations which compose that Empire) London, 1780. It contains sketched national costumes of Tartar women from Tomsk, Kuznetsk and Achinsk.

As we now know, in addition to Great Tartaria, which, according to Western cartographers, occupied Western and Eastern Siberia and the Far East, there were several more Tartaria in Asia: Chinese Tartaria (this is not China), Independent Tartaria (modern Central Asia), Tibetan Tartaria ( modern Tibet), Uzbek Tartaria and Mogul Tartaria (Mughal Empire). Evidence of the representatives of these Tartaria is also preserved in historical European documents.

Some names of peoples were unknown to us. For example, who are these Taguris tartars or Kohonor tartars? The aforementioned “Collection of Travels” by Antoine Prevost helped us unravel the mystery of the name of the first tartars. It turned out that these were Turkestan tartars. Presumably, geographical names helped to identify the second tartars. Qinghai Province is located in the west-central part of China, bordering Tibet. This province is rich in endorheic lakes, the largest of which is called Qinghai (Blue Sea), which gave the province its name. However, we are interested in another name for this lake - Kukunor (Kuku Nor or Koko Nor). The Chinese captured this province from Tibet in 1724. So Kohonor tartars may well be Tibetan tartars.

It was not clear to us who the Tartares de Naun Koton ou Tsitsikar were. It turned out that the city of Qiqihar still exists, and is now located in China northwest of Harbin, which, as you know, was founded by the Russians. As for the founding of Qiqihar, traditional history tells us that it was founded by the Mongols. However, it is not clear just where the tartars could come from?

Most likely, the founders of the city were the same Mongols who founded the Mughal Empire in northern India, on the territory of which modern Pakistan is now located, and which has nothing to do with the modern state of Mongolia. These two countries are thousands of kilometers apart, separated by the Himalayas and inhabited by different peoples. Let's look at some images of these "mysterious" Mughals made by the French cartographer Allain Manesson Mallet, the Dutch publisher and cartographer Isaac Tirion (1705-1769) and the Scottish historian and geographer Thomas Salmon (1679-1767) from his Modern History or the Present State of all Nations, published in London in 1739.

Having carefully looked at the clothes of the Mughal rulers, one cannot fail to notice their striking resemblance to the ceremonial clothes of Russian tsars and boyars, and the appearance of the Mughals themselves has all the signs of the White Race. Pay attention also to the 4th figure. It depicts Shah Jahan I (Shah Jahan) (1592-1666) - the ruler of the Mughal Empire from 1627 to 1658. The one that built the famous Taj Mahal. The French caption under the engraving reads: Le Grand Mogol. Le Impereur d'Indostan, which means the Great Mogul - the Emperor of Hindustan. As you can see, there is absolutely nothing Mongolian in the appearance of the Shah.

By the way, the ancestor of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire, is the great warrior and outstanding commander Tamerlane (1336-1405). Now, let's look at his image. The engraving says: Tamerlan, empereur des Tartares - Tamerlane is Emperor Tartarus, and in the book "Histoire de Timur-Bec, connu sous le nom du grand Tamerlan, empereur des Mogols & Tartares", written by Sharaf al Din Ali Yazdi in 1454 and published in Paris in 1722, he, as we see, is called the Emperor Mogul and Tartarus.

We also managed to find images of other tartars and see how various Western authors depicted representatives of the Lesser Tartaria - Zaporizhzhya Sich, as well as Nogai, Cherkasy, Kalmyk and Kazan tartars.

“The reason for the appearance of such a number of Tartaria is the offshoot of the Slavic-Aryan Empire (Great Tartary) of the outlying provinces, as a result of the weakening of the Empire as a result of the invasion of the hordes of the Dzungars, who captured and completely destroyed the capital of this Empire - Asgard-Iriysky in 7038 from the SMZH or 1530 from r.h.”

Tartaria in Dabville's "World Geography"

Recently, we came across another encyclopedia that tells about our Motherland, Great Tartaria - the largest country in the world. This time the encyclopedia turned out to be French, edited, as we would say today, by the royal geographer DuVal d "Abbwille". Its name is long and sounds like this: "World Geography, containing descriptions, maps and coats of arms of the main countries of the world" ( La Geographie Universelle contenant Les Descriptions, les Cartes, et le Blason des principaux Pais du Monde. Published in Paris in 1676, 312 pages of maps. Hereafter we will call it simply "Geography of the World".

Below we present you the description of the article about Tartaria from the "World Geography" in the form in which it is given in the Puzzles library, from where we copied it:

“This ancient book is the first volume of a geographical atlas with accompanying articles describing the contemporary states of the whole world. The second volume was the geography of Europe. But this volume, apparently, has sunk into history. The book is made in a pocket format, 8x12 cm in size and about 3 cm thick. The cover is made of papier-mâché, covered with thin leather with gold embossed floral pattern on the spine and ends of the cover. The book has 312 numbered, bound pages of text, 7 unnumbered bound title pages, 50 glued expanded sheets of maps, one pasted sheet - a list of maps, among which, by the way, European countries are also listed. On the first spread of the book there is an ex-libris containing the coat of arms and the inscriptions: "ExBibliotheca" and "Marchionatus: Pinczoviensis". The date of the book is written in Arabic numerals 1676 and Roman "M.D C.LXXVI".

"World Geography" is a unique historical document in the field of cartography and is of great importance for all countries of the world in the field of history, geography, linguistics, chronology. It is noteworthy that in this geography of all countries (excluding European ones), only two are called empires. These are the Empire of Tartaria (Empire de Tartarie) in the territory of modern Siberia, and the Empire of the Mogul (Empire Du Mogol) in the territory of modern India. In Europe, one empire is indicated - Turkish (Empire des Turcs). But, if in modern history you can easily find information about the Empire of the Great Mogul, then Tartaria, as an empire, is not mentioned in textbooks either on world or domestic, or in materials on the history of Siberia. 7 countries have coats of arms, including the Empire of Tartaria. Interesting combinations of geographical names that have survived to this day and sunk into time. For example, on the map of Tartaria, it borders CHINE (modern China) in the south, and nearby on the territory of Tartaria, behind the Great Wall of China, an area called CATHAI is indicated, Lake Lak Kithay and the settlement of Kithaisko are indicated a little higher. The first volume included the contents of the second volume - the geography of Europe, in which, in particular, Muscovy (Mofcovie) is indicated as an independent state.

This book is also of interest to linguists-historians. It is written in old French, but, for example, the use of the letters V and U, which are often substituted for each other in geographical names, has not yet settled down in it. For example, the names AVSTRALE and AUSTRALES on one slip sheet between 10-11 p. And the letter "s" in many places is replaced by the letter "f", which, by the way, was the main reason for the difficulty of translating the text by specialists who do not know about such a replacement. For example, the name of Asia in some places was written as Afia. Or the word desert is written as defert. The letter "B" from the Slavic alphabet is clearly corrected for "B" from the Latin, for example, on the map of Zimbabwe. And so on".

Below is a semantic translation of the article "Tartaria" from Dabville's "World Geography" (pp. 237-243). Translation from Middle French was made by Elena Lyubimova especially for The Cave.

This material is placed by us here not because it contains some unique information. Far from it. It is placed here simply as another irrefutable evidence that the Great Tartaria - the homeland of the Rus - existed in reality. It must also be borne in mind that this encyclopedia was published in the 17th century, when the distortion of world history by the enemies of Mankind had already been almost universally completed. Therefore, one should not be surprised at some inconsistencies in it, such as the fact that "the Chinese wall was built by the Chinese." Even today, the Chinese are not able to build such a wall, and even more so then ...

Tartaria

It occupies the most extensive territory in the north of the continent. In the east, it extends to the country of Esso (1), the area of ​​\u200b\u200bwhich is equal to that of Europe, since it occupies more than half of the northern hemisphere in length, and far exceeds East Asia in width. The very name Tartaria, which replaced Scythia, comes from the Tatar River, which the Chinese call Tata because they do not use the letter R.

Tartars are the best archers in the world, but they are barbarously cruel. They often fight and almost always defeat those they attack, leaving the latter in confusion. The Tartars were forced to surrender: Cyrus, when he crossed the Araks; Darius Hystaspes, when he went to war against the Scythians of Europe; Alexander the Great, when he crossed the Oxus [modern. Amu Darya. - E.L.]. And in our times, the Great Kingdom of China could not escape their domination. The cavalry is the main striking force of their numerous armies, contrary to what is practiced in Europe. She is the first to attack. The most peaceful of them live in felt tents and keep cattle, doing nothing else.

At all times, their country has been the source of many conquerors and founders of colonies in many countries: and even the great wall that the Chinese have erected against them is not able to stop them. They are ruled by princes, whom they call khans. They are divided into several Hordes - this is something like our districts, camps, tribes or a council of clans, but this is the little that we know about them, as well as the fact that their common name is Tartars. The object of their great worship is the owl, after Genghis, one of their sovereigns, was saved with the help of this bird. They do not want to know where they are buried, for this, each of them chooses a tree and the one who will hang them on it after their death.

They are mostly idolaters, but there are also a large number of Mohammedans among them; we have learned that those who have conquered China profess hardly any special religion, though they adhere to a few moral virtues. As a rule, Asian Tartaria is usually divided into five large parts: Desert Tartaria (Tartarie Deserte), Chagatai (Giagathi), Turkestan (Turquestan), Northern Tartaria (Tartarie Septentrionale) and Kim Tartaria (Tartarie du Kim).

Desert Tartaria has such a name because most of its land is left uncultivated. She recognizes for the most part the Grand Duke of Moscow, who receives beautiful and rich furs from there, and subjugated many people there, because this is a country of shepherds, not soldiers. Its cities of Kazan and Astrakhan are located on the Volga, which flows into the Caspian Sea with 70 mouths, in contrast to the Ob, which flows in the same country, and which flows into the Ocean with only six. Astrakhan conducts an extensive trade in salt, which the inhabitants extract from the mountain. Kalmyks are idolaters and are similar to the ancient Scythians due to raids, cruelty and other traits.

The Giagathai and Mawaralnahr peoples have their own khans. Samarkand is the city where the great Tamerlane founded the famous university. They also have the trading city of Bokor (Bockor), which is considered the birthplace of the famous Avicenna, philosopher and physician, and Orkan (Orcange) almost on the Caspian Sea. Alexandria of Sogdia became famous because of the death there of the formerly famous philosopher Callisthene.

The Mogul tribe (de Mogol) is known for the origin of their prince, bearing the same name, who rules most of India. The inhabitants there hunt wild horses with falcons; in several parts they are so disposed and have such a penchant for music that we have observed their little ones singing instead of playing. Those of the Chagatays and Uzbeks (d "Yousbeg), who are not called Tartars, are Mohammedans.

Turkestan is the country from which the Turks came. Tibet supplies musk, cinnamon and coral, which act as money for the locals.

Kim (n) Tartaria is one of the names that is called Katai (Сathai), which is the largest state of Tartaria, because it is heavily populated, full of rich and beautiful cities. Its capital is called Cambalu (2) or more often Manchu (Muoncheu): some authors have told of wonderful cities, the most famous of which are called Hangzhou (Quinzai), Xantum (?), Suntien (?) and Beijing (Pequim): they they also report other things that are in the Royal Palace - twenty-four columns of pure gold and another one - the largest of the same metal with a pine cone, cut with precious stones, with which you can buy four large cities. We undertook a trip to Cathai by various roads, hoping to find there gold, musk, rhubarb (3), and other rich goods: some went by land, others by the northern sea, and some again went up the Ganges (4).

The Tartars of this country entered China in modern times, and King Niuche (5), who is called Xunchi, is the one who conquered it at the age of twelve, following the good and faithful advice of his two uncles. Fortunately, the young conqueror was distinguished by great moderation and treated the newly conquered peoples with all the gentleness that one can imagine.

The old or true Tataria, which the Arabs called differently, is located in the north and is little known. It is said that Salmanasar, the king of Assyria, brought tribes from the Holy Land, which are the Hordes, which to this day have retained their names and customs: both him and the imams known in antiquity, and the name of one of the largest mountains in the world.

Translator's notes

1. The country of Esso on French medieval maps was designated differently: Terre de Jesso or Je Co. or Yesso or Terre de la Compagnie. This name was also associated with different places - sometimes with about. Hokkaido, which was drawn as part of the mainland, but mostly called the western part of North America. (See 1691 map by French cartographer Nicolas Sanson 1600-1667).

2. During the Mongol Yuan dynasty, founded by Khan Khubilai, the city of Beijing was called Khanbalik (Khan-Balyk, Kambaluk, Kabalut), which means "The Great Residence of the Khan", it can be found in the notes of Marco Polo in writing Cambuluc.

3. Rhubarb is a medicinal plant widely distributed in Siberia. In the Middle Ages, it was exported and constituted a state monopoly. The habitats of the plant were carefully hidden. In Europe, it was unknown and began to be cultivated everywhere, starting only from the 18th century.

4. On medieval maps, the Liaodong Bay was called the Ganges. (See the 1682 Italian map of China by Giacomo Cantelli (1643-1695) and Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi).

5. The northeastern fragment of the 1682 Italian map of China shows the kingdom of Niuche (or Nuzhen), which the description says that it conquered and rules China, which occupied the north of Liaodong and Korea, in the northeast lie the lands of the Yupy Tartars (or Fishskin Tartars), and Tartari del Kin or dell "Oro (Kin Tartars or Golden Tartars).

In the text of the article about Tartary, the name Tamerlane is found, which is called great. We found several engravings with his image. Interestingly, Europeans pronounced his name differently: Temur, Taimur, Timur Lenk, Timur i Leng, Tamerlane, Tamburlaine or Taimur e Lang.

As is known from the course of orthodox history, Tamerlane (1336-1406) is “a Central Asian conqueror who played a significant role in the history of Central, South and Western Asia, as well as the Caucasus, the Volga region and Russia. An outstanding commander, emir (since 1370). Founder of the Timurid Empire and Dynasty, with its capital in Samarkand.

Like Genghis Khan, today it is customary to portray him as a Mongoloid. As can be seen from the photographs of the original medieval European engravings, Tamerlane was not at all the way orthodox historians paint him. The engravings prove the absolute fallacy of this approach...

Information about the vast country of Tartaria is also contained in the 4th volume of the second edition of the New Encyclopedia of Arts and Sciences (A new and complete Dictionary of Arts and Sciences), published in London in 1764. On page 3166, a description of Tartaria is given, which was later fully included in the first edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, published in Edinburgh in 1771.

"TARTARY, a vast country in the northern parts of Asia, bounded by Siberia on the north and west: this is called Great Tartary. The Tartars who lie south of Muscovy and Siberia, are those of Astracan, Circassia, and Dagistan, situated north-west of the Caspian-sea; the Calmuc Tartars, who lie between Siberia and the Caspian-sea; the Usbec Tartars and Moguls, who lie north of Persia and India; and lastly, those of Tibet, who lie north-west of China.”

“Tartaria, a huge country in the northern part of Asia, bordering Siberia in the north and west, which is called Great Tartaria. Tartars living south of Muscovy and Siberia are called Astrakhan, Cherkasy and Dagestan, living in the northwest of the Caspian Sea are called Kalmyk Tartars and which occupy the territory between Siberia and the Caspian Sea; Uzbek Tartars and Mongols, who live north of Persia and India, and, finally, Tibetan, living northwest of China.

Tartaria in the "World History" of Dionysius Petavius

8. Everything from the beginning ...

6(70). The Gods of the Race will save the righteous people
and the Power of Heaven will carry them to the east,
to the lands of people with the skin of the color of Darkness...

So, in a relatively short period of time (during the life of only a few generations), our enemies managed to almost completely remove from everyday life all the information about our truly Great Motherland, about our truly heroic ancestors who fought Evil for many hundreds of thousands of years. And instead, the Zionist gang taught many of us that the Russians were wild people, and only the civilization of the West helped them to descend from the trees on which they supposedly lived, and joyfully follow the enlightened world into a brighter future.

In fact, everything is exactly the opposite! Our entire site is dedicated to debunking this big lie about Russia and the Russians. And some fun facts about the "enlightened" and "civilized" West can be found in the article "Medieval Europe. Strokes to the portrait»(part 1 and part 2). When the enemies began to bite off small pieces from the western part of Great Tartaria and create separate states from them in Europe, everything quickly began to decline there. The Christian religion, which ousted the Vedic worldview from the conquered peoples with fire and sword, quickly turned people into stupid, dumb slaves. This process and its phenomenal results are very well described in the article "Christianity as a weapon of mass destruction" . So, it is simply unlawful to talk about any enlightened and civilized West. There was no such thing! At first, there was no "West" itself in our current understanding of this term, and when it appeared, it could not be, and was not enlightened and civilized due to completely objective reasons!

However, let us return to Tartary. The fact that Europeans were very well aware of the existence of various Tartaria is also evidenced by numerous medieval geographical maps. One of the first such maps is a map of Russia, Muscovy and Tartaria, compiled by the British diplomat Anthony Jenkinson. (Anthony Jenkinson), who was the first plenipotentiary ambassador of England to Muscovy from 1557 to 1571, and part-time representative of the Moscow company (Muscovy Company)- an English trading company founded by London merchants in 1555. Jenkinson was the first Western European traveler to describe the coast of the Caspian Sea and Central Asia during his expedition to Bukhara in 1558-1560. The result of these observations were not only official reports, but also the most detailed map of areas at that time that were practically inaccessible to Europeans until that moment.

Tartaria is also in the solid world Atlas of Mercator-Hondius of the beginning of the 17th century. Yodocus Hondius (Jodocus Hondius, 1563-1612)- a Flemish engraver, cartographer and publisher of atlases and maps in 1604 bought printed forms of the Mercator world atlas, added about forty of his own maps to the atlas and published an expanded edition in 1606 under the authorship of Mercator, and indicated himself as a publisher.

Abraham Ortelius (Abraham Ortelius, 1527-1598)- Flemish cartographer, compiled the world's first geographical atlas, consisting of 53 large format maps with detailed explanatory geographical texts, which was printed in Antwerp on May 20, 1570. The atlas was named Theatrum Orbis Terrarum(lat. Spectacle of the globe) and reflected the state of geographical knowledge at that time.

Tartaria is also on the Dutch map of Asia in 1595, and on the map of 1626 by John Speed (John Speed, 1552-1629) English historian and cartographer, who published the world's first British cartographic atlas of the world "Review of the most famous places in the world" (A Prospect of the Most Famous Parts of the World). Please note that on many maps the Chinese wall is clearly visible, and China itself is behind it, and before it was the territory of Chinese Tartaria (Chinese Tartary).

Let's look at a few more foreign maps. Dutch map of Great Tartary, Great Mughal Empire, Japan and China (Magnae Tartariae, Magni Mogolis Imperii, Iaponiae et Chinae, Nova Descriptio (Amsterdam, 1680)) Frederick de Wit (Frederick de Wit), Dutch map by Peter Schenck (Pieter Schenk).

French map of Asia in 1692 and a map of Asia and Scythia (Scythia et Tartaria Asiatica) 1697.

Map of Tartaria by Guillaume de Lisle (1688-1768), French astronomer and cartographer, member of the Paris Academy of Sciences (1702). He also published a world atlas (1700-1714). In 1725-47 he worked in Russia, was an academician and the first director of the academic astronomical observatory, from 1747 - a foreign honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences.

We have given only some of the many maps that clearly indicate the existence of a country whose name cannot be found in any modern textbook on the history of our country. How impossible it is to find any information about the people who inhabited it. Oh ta R tarakh, which now everyone who is not lazy, call the Tatars and refer to the Mongoloids. In this regard, it is very interesting to look at the images of these "Tatars". We will have to turn again to European sources. The well-known book is very indicative in this case. "The Travels of Marco Polo" That's what they called her in England. In France it was called "Book of the Great Khan", in other countries the “Book on the Diversity of the World” or simply “The Book”. The Italian merchant and traveler himself titled his manuscript “Description of the World”. Written in Old French rather than Latin, it became popular throughout Europe.

In it, Marco Polo (1254-1324) describes in detail the history of his travels in Asia and his 17-year stay at the court of the “Mongolian” Khan Kublai. Leaving aside the question of the reliability of this book, we will turn our attention to the fact that the Europeans portrayed the "Mongols" in the Middle Ages.

As you can see, there is nothing Mongolian in the appearance of the “Mongolian” Great Khan Kublai. On the contrary, he and his entourage look quite Russian, one might even say European.

Oddly enough, the tradition of depicting the Mongols and Tatars in such a strange European form has been preserved further. And in the 17th, and in the 18th, and in the 19th centuries, Europeans stubbornly continued to portray the "Tatars" from Tartaria with all the signs of the people of the White Race. See, for example, how the French cartographer and engineer Male depicted "Tatars" and "Mongols" (Allain Manesson Mallet)(1630-1706), whose drawings were printed in Frankfurt in 1719. Or an engraving from 1700 depicting a Tartar princess and a Tartar prince.

From the first edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, it follows that at the end of the 18th century there were several countries on our planet that had the word Tartaria. In Europe, numerous engravings of the 16th-18th and even the beginning of the 19th century have been preserved, which depict the citizens of this country - tartars. It is noteworthy that medieval European travelers call Tartars the peoples who lived on a vast territory that occupied most of the continent of Eurasia. With surprise, we see images of Eastern tartars, Chinese tartars, Tibetan tartars, Nogai tartars, Kazan tartars, small tartars, Chuvash tartars, Kalmyk tartars, Cherkasy tartars, tartars of Tomsk, Kuznetsk, Achinsk, etc.

Above are engravings from books Thomas Jeffrey (Thomas Jefferys) "Catalogue of national costumes of different peoples, ancient and modern", London, 1757-1772 in 4 volumes (A Collection of the Dresses of Different Nations, Antient and Modern) and Jesuit travel collections Antoine Francois Prevost (Antoine-Francois Prevost d "Exiles 1697-1763) entitled "Histoire Generale Des Voyages" published in 1760.

Let's see a few more engravings depicting various tartars that lived on the territory Great Tartaria from the book of a German, professor of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences Johan Gottlieb Georgi (Johann Gottlieb Georgi 1729-1802) "Russia or a complete historical report on all the peoples living in this Empire" (Russia or a compleat historical account of all the nations which compose that Empire) London, 1780 It contains sketched national costumes of Tartar women from Tomsk, Kuznetsk and Achinsk.

“The reason for the appearance of such a number of Tartaria is the budding from the Slavic-Aryan Empire (Great Tartary) outlying provinces, as a result of the weakening of the Empire as a result of the invasion of the Dzungar hordes, who captured and completely destroyed the capital of this Empire - Asgard-Iriysky in 7038 AD SMZH or 1530 AD.”

Recently, we came across another encyclopedia that tells about our Motherland, Great Tartary, the largest country in the world. This time the encyclopedia turned out to be French, edited, as we would say today, by the royal geographer Duval Dubville (DuVal d "Abbwille). Her name is long and sounds like this: "World Geography containing descriptions, maps and coats of arms of the main countries of the world" (La Geographie Universelle contenant Les Descriptions, les Cartes, et le Blason des principaux Pais du Monde). Published in Paris in 1676, 312 pages with maps. In what follows, we will simply call it "World Geography".

Below we present to you the description of the article about Tartaria from "World Geography" in the form in which it is given in the Puzzles library, from where we copied it:

“This ancient book is the first volume of a geographical atlas with accompanying articles describing the contemporary states of the whole world. The second volume was the geography of Europe. But this volume, apparently, has sunk into history. The book is made in a pocket format, 8x12 cm in size and about 3 cm thick. The cover is made of papier-mâché, covered with thin leather with gold embossed floral pattern on the spine and ends of the cover. The book has 312 numbered, bound pages of text, 7 unnumbered bound title pages, 50 glued spread sheets of maps, one pasted sheet - a list of maps, among which, by the way, European countries are listed. On the first spread of the book there is an ex-libris containing the coat of arms and the inscriptions: "ExBibliotheca" and Marchionatus: Pinczoviensis. The date of the book is written in Arabic numerals 1676 and Roman "M.D C.LXXVI".

"World Geography" is a unique historical document in the field of cartography and is of great importance for all countries of the world in the field of history, geography, linguistics, chronology. It is noteworthy that in this geography of all countries (excluding European ones), only two are called empires. it Empire of Tartaria (Empire de Tartarie) on the territory of modern Siberia, and Mughal Empire (Empire du Mogol) in present-day India. In Europe, one empire is indicated - Turkish (Empire des Turcs). But, if in modern history you can easily find information about the Empire of the Great Mogul, then Tartaria, as an empire, is not mentioned in textbooks either on world or domestic, or in materials on the history of Siberia. 7 countries have coats of arms, including Empires of Tartaria. Interesting combinations of geographical names that have survived to this day and sunk into time. For example, on the map of Tartaria, it borders on the south with CHINE(modern China), and nearby on the territory of Tartaria, behind the Great Wall of China, an area called CATHAI , a little above the indicated lake Lak Kithay and locality Kithaisko. The first volume included the content of the second volume - the geography of Europe, which, in particular, indicates Muscovy (mofcovie) as an independent state.

This book is also of interest to linguists-historians. It is written in old French, but, for example, the use of the letters V and U, which are often substituted for each other in geographical names, has not yet settled down in it. For example, names AVSTRALE and AUSTRALES on one sheet-paste between 10-11 s. And the letter "s" in many places is replaced by the letter "f", which, by the way, was the main reason for the difficulty of translating the text by specialists who do not know about such a replacement. For example, the name of Asia in some places was written as Afia. Or the word desert desert written as defer. The letter "B" from the Slavic alphabet is clearly corrected for "B" from the Latin, for example, on the map of Zimbabwe. And so on".

Below is the semantic translation of the article "Tartaria" from Dubville's "Geography of the World" (pp. 237-243). Translation from Middle French was made by Elena Lyubimova especially for The Cave.

This material is placed by us here not because it contains some unique information. Far from it. It is placed here simply as another irrefutable evidence the fact that Great Tartaria - the Motherland of the Rus - existed in reality. It must also be borne in mind that this encyclopedia was published in the 17th century, when the distortion of world history by the enemies of Mankind had already been almost universally completed. Therefore, one should not be surprised at some inconsistencies in it, such as the fact that "the Chinese wall was built by the Chinese." Even today the Chinese are not able to build such a wall, and even more so then ...

Tartaria

It occupies the most extensive territory in the north of the continent. In the east it extends to the country Esso(1), the area of ​​​​which is equal to the area of ​​Europe, since it occupies more than half of the northern hemisphere in length, and in width it far exceeds East Asia. The name itself Tartaria, which came to replace Scythia, comes from the Tatar River, which the Chinese call Tata because they don't use the letter R.

Tartars are the best archers in the world, but they are barbarously cruel. They often fight and almost always defeat those they attack, leaving the latter in confusion. The Tartars were forced to surrender: Cyrus, when he crossed the Araks; Darius Hystaspes, when he went to war against the Scythians of Europe; Alexander the Great when he crossed the Oxus (Oxus)[modern. Amu Darya. - E.L.]. And in our times, the Great Kingdom of China could not escape their domination. The cavalry is the main striking force of their numerous armies, contrary to what is practiced in Europe. She is the first to attack. The most peaceful of them live in felt tents and keep cattle, doing nothing else.

At all times their country has been the source of many conquerors and colonizers in many countries: and even the great wall that the Chinese have erected against them is unable to stop them. They are ruled by princes they call khanami. They are divided into several Hordes - this is something like our districts, camps, tribes or clan council, but this is what we know about them like what their common name is Tartars. The object of their great worship is owl, after Genghis, one of their sovereigns, was saved with the help of this bird. They do not want to know where they are buried, for this, each of them chooses a tree and the one who will hang them on it after their death.

They are mostly idolaters, but there are also a large number of Mohammedans among them; we learned that those who conquered China were almost do not profess any special religion although they adhere to several moral virtues. As a rule, Asian Tartaria is usually divided into five large parts: Tartaria Desert (Tartari Deserte), Chagatai (Giagathi), Turkestan (Turquestan), Northern Tartaria (Tartarie Septentrionale) and Kimskaya Tartaria (Tartarie du Kim).

Tartaria Desert has such a name because most of its land is left uncultivated. She recognizes for the most part the Grand Duke of Moscow, who receives beautiful and rich furs from there, and subjugated many people there, because this is a country of shepherds, not soldiers. Its cities of Kazan and Astrakhan are located on the Volga, which flows into the Caspian Sea with 70 mouths, in contrast to the Ob, which flows in the same country, and which flows into the Ocean with only six. Astrakhan conducts an extensive trade in salt, which the inhabitants extract from the mountain. Kalmyks are idolaters and are similar to the ancient Scythians due to raids, cruelty and other traits.

Peoples of Chagatai (Giagathai) and Mavaralnahi (Mawaralnahr) have their own khans. Samarkand is the city where the great Tamerlane founded the famous university. They also have a trading city Bokor (Bockor), which is considered the birthplace of the famous Avicenna, philosopher and physician, and Orkan (Orcange) almost on the Caspian Sea. Alexandria of Sogdia became famous because of the death there of the formerly famous philosopher Callisthenes. (Callisthene).

Mughal tribe (de Mogol) known because of the origin of their prince, bearing the same name, who rules most of India. The inhabitants there hunt wild horses with falcons; in several parts they are so disposed and have such a penchant for music that we have observed their little ones singing instead of playing. Those of the Chagatays and Uzbeks (d"Yousbeg), who are not called Tartars, are Mohammedans.

Turkestan is the country from which the Turks came. Tibet supplies musk, cinnamon and coral, which act as money for the locals.

Kim(n) Tartaria is one of the names that katai (Сathai), which is the largest state of Tartaria, because it is heavily populated, full of rich and beautiful cities. Its capital is called flounder (Сambalu)(2) or more often Manchu (Muoncheu): some authors talked about wonderful cities, the most famous of which are called hangzhou (Quinzai), Xantum (?), Suntien (?) and Beijing (Pequim): they also report on other things that are in the Royal Palace - twenty-four columns of pure gold and another - the largest of the same metal with a pine cone, cut with precious stones, which can buy four large cities. We took a trip to katai (Cathai) by different roads, hoping to find there gold, musk, rhubarb (3), and other rich goods: some went over land, others along the northern sea, and some again went up the Ganges (4).

The Tartars of this country were part of China in our time, and the king Niuche(5), which is called xunchi, is the one who conquered him at the age of twelve, following the good and faithful advice of his two uncles. Fortunately, the young conqueror was distinguished by great moderation and treated the newly conquered peoples with all the gentleness that one can imagine.

old or true Tataria, which the Arabs called differently, is located in the north and is little known. They say that Shalmaneser (Salmanasar), the king of Assyria, brought tribes from the Holy Land, which are the Hordes, which to this day have retained their names and customs: both him and the imams, known in antiquity, and the name of one of the largest mountains in the world.

Translator's notes

1. The country of Esso on French medieval maps was designated differently: Terre de Jesso or Je Co. or yesso or Terre de la Compagnie. This name was also associated with different places - sometimes with about. Hokkaido, which was drawn as part of the mainland, but mostly called the western part of North America. (See the 1691 map by the French cartographer Nicholas Sanson (Nicolas Sanson) 1600-1667).

2. During the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, founded by Kublai Khan, the city of Beijing was called Khanbalik(Khan-Balyk, Kambaluk, Kabalut), which means "The Great Residence of the Khan", it can be found in the notes of Marco Polo in writing Cambuluc.

3. Rhubarb- a medicinal plant, widespread in Siberia. In the Middle Ages, it was exported and constituted a state monopoly. The habitats of the plant were carefully hidden. In Europe, it was unknown and began to be cultivated everywhere, starting only from the 18th century.

4. On medieval maps, the Liaodong Bay was called the Ganges. (See 1682 Italian map of China Giacomo Cantelli (Giacomo Cantelli(1643-1695) and Giovanni Giacomo di Rossi (Giovanni Giacomo de Rossi)).

5. The northeastern fragment of the 1682 Italian map of China shows the kingdom Niuche(or Nuzhen), about which the description says that it conquered and rules China, which occupied the north of Liaodong and Korea, in the northeast lie the lands Yupy Tartars(or Fishskin Tartars), and Tartari del Kin or dell'Oro(Kin Tartars or Golden Tartars).

In the text of the article about Tartary, there is a name that is called great. We found several engravings with his image. Interestingly, Europeans pronounced his name in different ways: Temur, Taimur, Timur Lenk, Timur i Leng, Tamerlane, Tamburlaine or Taimur and Lang.

As is known from the course of orthodox history, Tamerlane (1336-1406) - “Central Asian conqueror who played a significant role in the history of Central, South and Western Asia, as well as the Caucasus, the Volga region and Russia. An outstanding commander, emir (since 1370). Founder of the Timurid Empire and Dynasty, with its capital in Samarkand".

Like Genghis Khan, today it is customary to portray him as a Mongoloid. As can be seen from the photographs of the original medieval European engravings, Tamerlane was not at all the way orthodox historians paint him. The engravings prove the absolute fallacy of this approach...

Information about a huge country Tartaria also contained in the 4th volume of the second edition "New Encyclopedia of Arts and Sciences" (A new and complete Dictionary of Arts and Sciences) published in London in 1764. On page 3166, a description of Tartaria is given, which was later fully included in the first edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, published in Edinburgh in 1771.

"TARTARY, a vast country in the northern parts of Asia, bounded by Siberia on the north and west: this is called Great Tartary. The Tartars who lie south of Muscovy and Siberia, are those of Astracan, Circassia, and Dagistan, situated north-west of the Caspian-sea; the Calmuc Tartars, who lie between Siberia and the Caspian-sea; the Usbec Tartars and Moguls, who lie north of Persia and India; and lastly, those of Tibet, who lie north-west of China".

"Tartaria, a huge country in the northern part of Asia, bordering Siberia in the north and west, which is called Great Tartaria. Tartars living south of Muscovy and Siberia are called Astrakhan, Cherkasy and Dagestan, living in the northwest of the Caspian Sea are called Kalmyk Tartars and which occupy the territory between Siberia and the Caspian Sea; Uzbek Tartars and Mongols, who live north of Persia and India, and, finally, Tibetan, living northwest of China.

Tartaria was also described by the founder of modern chronology, and in fact the falsification of world history, Dionysius Petavius(1583-1652) - French cardinal, Jesuit, Catholic theologian and historian. In his geographical description of the world, "World History" (The History of the World: Or, an Account of Time, Together With a Geographicall Description of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America), published in 1659, the following is said about Tartaria (translation from Middle English was made by Elena Lyubimova especially for the "Cave"):

TARTARY(formerly known as Scythia, after the name of their first ruler, Scythus, who was first called Magogus(from Magog, the son of Japhet), whose descendants settled this country) is called Tartaria by its inhabitants by the Monguls after the name of the Tartar River, which washes most of it. This is a vast Empire (incomparable in size to any other country, except for the overseas possessions of the King of Spain, which it also surpasses and between which communication is established, while in the latter they are very scattered), extending 5400 miles from east to west, and on 3600 miles from north to south; therefore its Great Khan or Emperor owns many kingdoms and provinces containing many good cities.

In the east, it borders China, the Sea of ​​Xing or the Eastern Ocean, and the Strait of Anian. Mountains in the west Imaus(Himalayan range), although there are Tartar hordes that recognize the power of the Khan, on the other side of them; in the south - by the river Ganges and Oxus (Oxus) which we now call Abia(modern Amu Darya), Hindustan and the upper part of China, or, as some say, with the mountain .... , the Caspian Sea and the Chinese wall. In the north - with the Scythian or Icy Ocean, on the coast of which it is so cold that no one lives there. In addition, there is also a rich and great kingdom katai (Cathai), in the center of which is the city of Kambalu ( Cambalu or Cunbula), stretching for 24 Italian miles along the Polisangi River (polisangi). There are also kingdoms Tangut (Tangut), Tenduk (Tenduc), Camul (Camul), Tainfur (Tainfur) and Tibet (Thebet), as well as the city and province of Kaindo (caindo). However, according to the general opinion, today Tartaria is divided into five provinces.

1. Small Tartaria (Tartaria precopensis) is located on the Asian bank of the Tanais River (modern Don) and occupies the territory of the entire Tauride Chersonese. She has two main cities, which are called Crimea. The one in which the ruler sits is called the Tartar Crimea and Prekop, after whose name the country is called. These Tartars must help the Turks by sending 60,000 men without pay on the first request (if they have a shortage of people), for which the Tartars will inherit their Empire.

2. Tartaria Asian or Muscovite or Desert is located on the banks of the Volga River. People there live mainly in tents and represent an army called the Horde. They do not stay in one place longer than the pasture runs out of food for their cattle, and in their movements they are guided by the North Star. Currently, they are under the control of one prince, who is a tributary of Muscovy. Here are their cities: Astrakhan (under the walls of which Selim II, a Turk, was defeated by Vasily of Moscow) and Nogkhan (Noghan). The northernmost hordes of this country, the Nogais, are the most warlike people.

3. Ancient Tartaria- the cradle of this people, from where they furiously spread throughout Asia and Europe. She rests on the icy ocean. Ordinary people live in tents or under their wagons. However, they have four cities. One of which is called Horace (choras), famous for the khan's tombs. Lop Desert is located in this province (lop) where King Tabor came to persuade them to Judaism. Charles V burnt it in Mantua in 1540.

4. Chagatai (Zagathai) divided into Bactria, bordering in the north and east on Sogdiana near the Oxus River, and in the south on Aria (Aria), where in ancient times there were beautiful cities - some were destroyed, and some were built by Alexander. Three of them are: Khorasan ( Chorazzan or Charassan), after whom the country is named. Bactra (Bactra), named after the river, which is now called Bochara where the ancient Pythians were born; and also Zoroaster, who in the time of Nin [king of Babylon] was the first king of this earth, and to whom is credited the invention of astronomy. Shorod Istigias (Istigias) which, some say, is the capital of that province, is one of the most agreeable cities in the East.

Margiana (Margiana) located between Bactria in the east and Hyrcania (Hircania) in the west (although some say it lies north of Hyrcania). She is called Tremigani and Feselbas because people wear huge turbans. Its capital is Antioch (named after the king of Syria, Antiochus Soter, who surrounded it with a strong stone wall). Today it is called India or Indion, and was once called Margiana of Alexandria (Alexandria Margiana). Sogdiana is located to the west of Bactria. Its two cities: Oxiana stands on the Oxus River and Sogdiana of Alexandria, which Alexander built when he went to India. It also contains Kiropol, a strong city built by Cyrus. Under its walls, Alexander was wounded. A stone hit him right in the neck, he fell to the ground, and his whole army considered him dead.

Turkestan, where the Turks lived before they went to Armenia in 844, the barren land forced them to do so. They have two cities, Galla and Auxerre, of whose glory I know nothing.

And finally, north of these four lies the province Zagatae?, which was so named after the Tartar nobleman Sachetaie?. Ogg, father of Tamerlane, was the heir Sachetaie. Tamerlane, who was called the Fury of the Lord and the Fear of the Earth, married Gino (Gino), daughter and heiress, and thus received the Tartar Empire, which he divided among his sons. And they, after his death, lost everything that he won. Its capital is Samarkand- the place of residence of Tamerlane, which he enriched with booty brought from his numerous campaigns. And he also has Bukhara, where the ruler of the province is located.

katai (Cathai)(which has long been called Scythia, which does not include the Himalayas, and Chagatai - Scythia within the Himalayas) took its name from Cathey, which Strabo had here. It borders China to the south, the Scythian Sea to the north, and lies to the east of the Tartar Provinces. It is believed that the Seres used to live here. (Seres) who possessed the art of weaving silk yarn from fine wool that grows on the leaves of trees, therefore in Latin silk is called serica. The peoples of Katai and Chagatai are the most noble and cultured among the Tartars, and lovers of all kinds of arts. In this province there are many beautiful cities: among which the capital Kambalu (Cambalu), whose area is 28 miles, except for the suburbs, as some say, and others say 24 Italian miles, it is inhabited by Great Khan. But in Xainiu he also has a palace - incredible in length and grandeur.

The first of the Great Khans or Emperors of Tartaria was Genghis in 1162, who, conquering Mucham, the last King of Tenduk and Cathay, changed the name of Scythia to Tartaria: the fifth after him was Tamerlane or Tamir Khan. During his reign, this monarchy was at its peak of power. The ninth was Tamor, after whom we do not know who was the ruler there, and what outstanding events took place there, because they said that neither the Tartars, nor the Muscovites, nor the king of China allowed anyone to visit them except merchants and ambassadors, and did not allow his subjects to travel outside their countries.

But it is known that tyranny reigns there: life and death occur according to the word of the Emperor, whom ordinary people call the Shadow of the Spirit and the Son of the immortal God. The largest among the various rivers are the Oxus, originating from the Taurus Mountains. The Persians never crossed it to expand their possessions, because they were always defeated, the same thing happened with the Tartars, if they dared to do the same.

Scythians they were a valiant, populous and ancient people, never submitting to anyone, but they rarely attacked themselves in order to subdue someone. There was once a long discussion about who is older Egyptians or Scythians, which ended up being The Scythians were recognized as the most ancient people. And for their multitude they were called mother of all migrations of peoples. The philosopher Anacharsis was born in this country, which extends to the north of the Danube. This area is called Sarmatia or the Scythians of Europe.

With regard to the wealth of their territory, it is said that, since they have many rivers, their grass is visibly invisible, but there is not enough fuel, so that they burned bones instead of wood. This country abounds in rice, wheat, etc. Since they are cold, they have a large supply of wool, silk, hemp, rhubarb, musk, fine fabrics, gold, animals and everything that is necessary for life, not only for survival, but to live in comfort. There, the thunder and lightning are very strange and terrible. Sometimes it is very hot there, and sometimes it is suddenly very cold, there is a lot of snow, and the winds are the strongest. In the kingdom of Tangut, a lot of Rhubarb is grown, which is supplied to the whole world.

Many gold mines and lapis lazuli were found in Tenduk. But Tangut is better developed and abounds in vines. Tibet is full of both wild animals and an abundance of coral; there is also a lot of musk, cinnamon and other spices. The articles of trade of this country are rice, silk, wool, hemp, rhubarb, musk, and excellent camel-hair textiles. In addition to trading within the country - between their cities, they also annually send 10,000 carts loaded with silk, as well as other goods from China, to Kambala. To this one can add their numerous invasions into Europe and Asia, their huge profits that have been coming from Muscovy and other parts, especially from China, for a long time now. We cannot say for sure, but the Tartars are very rich. All those who live to the North are in great need, while their neighbors (who are subject to one prince) have a lot.

Regarding the Tartar religion: some are Mohammedans who daily announce that there is only one god. There are more idolaters in Katai than Mohammedans who worship two gods: the god of Heaven, whom they ask for health and enlightenment, and the god of the Earth, who has a wife and children who take care of their flocks, crops, etc. Therefore, they ask these things from him like this: rubbing the mouth of his idol with the fattest meat when they eat, as well as his wife and children (small images of which are in their houses), the broth is poured into the street for spirits. They keep the god of Heaven high and the earth low. They believe that human souls are immortal, but pass from one body to another, according to Pythagoras. They also worship the Sun, Moon and the four elements. They call Pope and all Christians infidels, dogs and idolaters.

They never fast or celebrate one day more than another. Some of them look like Christians or Jews, although there are not many of them: these are Nestorians - those who are from the Papist and Greek churches, saying that Christ has two hypostases; that the Virgin Mary is not the mother of God; that their priests may marry as often as they please. They also say it's one thing to be God's Word, and another thing to be Christ. They also do not recognize the two Councils of Ephesus.

Their Patriarch, the one who resides in Musala (Musal) in Mesopotamia, is not elected, but the son inherits the father - the first elected archbishop. Among them there is one strong and unnatural practice: they feed their old people with fat, burn their corpses, and the ashes are carefully collected and stored, adding it to the meat when they eat. Prester John, the king of Cathay or Tenduk, was defeated by the Great Tartarin Chengiz in 1162, 40 years after he accepted the Nestorian faith, nevertheless, he remained the ruler of a small country. These Nestorani Christians extended their influence to the city of Campion, some of them remained in Tangut, Sukir, Kambalu and other cities.

Tartaria mentioned in their works and many European artists - writers and composers. Here is a small list with some of those mentions…

Giacomo Puccini(1858-1924) - Italian opera composer, opera "Princess Turandot". The father of the protagonist - Kalaf - Timur - the deposed King of the Tartars.

William Shakespeare(1564-1616), play Macbeth. Witches add the lips of Tartarin to their potion.

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein. Doctor Frankenstein is chasing the monster "among the wild expanses of Tartaria and Russia ..."

Charles Dickens"Great expectations". Estella Havisham is compared to Tartarus because she is "hard and haughty and capricious to the last degree..."

Robert Browning"Hameln Pied Piper". The piper mentions Tartaria as a place of successful work: "Last June in Tartaria, I saved Khan from a swarm of mosquitoes."

Geoffrey Chaucer(1343-1400) The Canterbury Tales. "History of the Esquire" tells about the royal court of Tartaria.

Information about the Great Tartaria can also be found at Nicholas Sanson (Nicholas Sanson(1600-1667) - French historian and court cartographer of Louis XIII. In 1653, his atlas of Asia was published in Paris - "L" Asie, En Plusieurs Cartes Nouvelles, Et Exactes, &c .: En Divers Traitez De Geographie, Et D "Histoire; La ou sont descrits succinctement, & avec une belle Methode, & facile, Ses Empires, Ses Monarchies, Ses Estates &c.

The atlas contains maps and a description of the countries of the Asian continent in as much detail as the availability of information about the realities of a particular country allowed, and its absence made it possible for various kinds of assumptions, often having nothing to do with the current state of affairs, which is observed when describing Tartaria (take at least one of the ridiculous versions about the origin of the tartars from the ten lost tribes of Israel.) Thus, the author, like many European medieval historians before and after him, unwittingly, but most likely intentionally made his own contribution to the falsification of both world history and the history of our Motherland.

For this, seemingly insignificant and harmless things were used. The author "lost" only one letter in the name of the country, and Tartaria from the lands of the gods Tarh and Tara turned into a kind of previously unknown Tataria. Added one letter to the name of the people, and Mughals turned into Mongols. Other historians went further, and the Mughals (from the Greek. μεγáλoι (megaloi) – great) turned into Monguls, Mongals, Mungals, Mugals, Monks, etc. Such “replacements”, as you understand, provide a wide field of activity for various kinds of falsifications, which have very far-reaching consequences.

Let's take relatively recent times as an example. AT February 1936 By the decree of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the Kazakh SSR "On the Russian pronunciation and written designation of the word "Cossack"" it was ordered to replace the last letter " To" on the " X", and from now on write "Kazakh", and not "Cossack", "Kazakhstan", not "Kazakhstan", and that the newly formed Kazakhstan included the lands of the Siberian, Orenburg and Ural Cossacks.

How is this change one letter influenced the lives of the latter, it is not necessary to tell for a long time. As a result of the anti-human national policy of the Kazakh authorities, launched after the victory of democracy in the 90s, representatives of the "non-titular" Russian nation are squeezed out of all spheres of life and forced to leave the lands of their ancestors. Kazakhstan already left 3.5 million people, which is 25% of the total population of the republic. They left the republic in 2000 another 600 thousand human. The socio-economic situation of Russians has sharply deteriorated, unemployment is growing, Russian schools and cultural institutions are being closed, and the history of Russia is being falsified in Kazakh schools. That's what it costs to replace everything one letter In the title.

And now, we present to you, the actual translation from the Middle French language of the article about Tartaria from "Atlas of Asia" 1653 by Nicholas Sanson. The word "Middle French" means that this language is no longer ancient, but not yet modern. Those. is a language that was still in the stage of development in the 17th century formation grammar, syntax and phonetics, especially in the written version of the language. Translation from Middle French was made by Elena Lyubimova especially for The Cave.

Tartaria or Tataria occupies the north of all Asia. It stretches from west to east, starting from the Volga and Ob, which separate [from it] Europe, to the land of Iesso, which separates America; and northern Media, the Caspian Sea, the Gihon River (Gehon)[modern. Amu Darya], the Caucasus Mountains, d "Ussonte, which separate the southernmost territories of Asia, to the North Ocean, the Arctic or Scythian. In length, it occupies half of the Northern Hemisphere - from 90 to 180 degrees of longitude, in width - half of all of Asia from 35 or 40 to 70 or 72 degrees of latitude. Its extent is fifteen hundred leagues from east to west, and seven or eight hundred from south to north.

Almost all of it is located in the temperate zone, however, its southernmost sections are located beyond this temperate zone, and in the remaining northern ones before it, the climate is cold and harsh. The southernmost territories of the country are always bounded by the three high mountains of the south coast, which trap heat in the south and cold in the north, so that some might say that, in general, temperatures in Tartaria are much lower than in a temperate climate.

It neighbors the Muscovites in the west; Persians, Indians or Moghuls, Chinese in the south; the rest of the territory is washed by the sea, and we don't know much about her. Some believe that in the east is located Strait of Anian (d "esroit d" Anian)[Bering Strait] that separates America, others that the Strait of Jesso (d "estroit de Iesso), which separates the land or island of Iesso, which is located between Asia and America, as they would say for Japan. Some still call the Northern Ocean in one way, others in a different way.

Name Tartaria comes, most likely, from the name of a river or a locality, or the Tartar Horde, from where those peoples appeared who became known in all parts of Asia. Others say that they are called so from Tatars or Totars, which means in Assyrian“remaining” or “leaving”: because they regard them as the remnant of the Jews, half of whose ten tribes were displaced by Shalmaneser, and add that the other half of these ten tribes went to Scythia, about which nowhere noted by the ancients. Although the Persians still call this country Tatars, and the people Tatars, and the Chinese - Taguis.

Tartaria is divided into five main parts, which are Tartaria Desert (Tartari Deserte), Uzbekistan or Chagatai (Vzbeck ou Zagathay), Turkestan (Turqestan), katai (Сathay) and True Tarataria (vraye tartarie). The first and last are the northernmost, barbaric and nothing is known about them. The other three, more southerly, are the most civilized and famous for their many beautiful cities and extensive trade.

The ancients called Tartaria Desert Scythia intra Imaum(one); Uzbekistan and Chagatai are Bactrian and Sogdiana, respectively. Turkestan was called in ancient times Scythia extra imaum. Katai was called Serika (Serica Regio). As for True Tartaria, the ancients did not know anything about it, or it represented the northernmost territories, both one and the other Scythia. Desert Tartaria is limited from the west by the Volga and Ob rivers, which separate it from Muscovy; in the east - by mountains that separate True Tartaria and Turkestan; in the north - by the Northern Ocean; in the south - by the Caspian Sea, from Tabarestan [modern. Iranian province of Mazandaran] by the river Shesel (Chesel)[modern. Raw Darya]. It is separated from Uzbekistan by several mountains, which are connected with the mountains Imaum.

The whole country is inhabited by peoples or tribes, which are troops or detachments, which are called Hordes. They almost never stay in closed places, and they have no need for this, because they have no immovable dwelling to keep them in place. They are constantly wandering; they load tents and families and everything they have on carts, and do not stop until they find the most beautiful and most suitable pasture for their animals. There is something to which they devote themselves even more than hunting. This is war. They do not cultivate the land, despite the fact that it is beautiful and fertile. That is why it is called Desert Tartary. Among its hordes, the most famous are the Nogais, who pay tribute to the Grand Duke of Moscow, who also owns part of Desert Tartaria.

Uzbekistan or Chagatai extends from the Caspian Sea to Turkestan and from Persia and India to Desert Tartaria. The Shesel rivers flow through it. (Chesel) or the old fashioned way Jaxartes, Gigon or according to the old Albiamu or Oxus[modern. Amu Darya]. Its peoples are the most civilized and the most dexterous of all Western Tartars. They carry on a great deal of trade with the Persians, with whom they sometimes were at enmity, sometimes they lived in complete harmony, with the Indians and with Cathay. They produce silk, which is measured in large wicker baskets and sold to Muscovy. Their most beautiful cities are Samarkand, Bukhara and Badaschian and further Balck. According to some, Khorasan, which at different times was owned by Uzbek khans, enjoys the greatest respect. Badaschian located on the border with Khorasan. Bukhara ( Bochara or Bachara), in which Avicenna, the most famous philosopher and physician in the whole East, lived. Samarkand is the birthplace of the great Tamerlane, who turned it into the most beautiful and richest city in Asia by building the famous Academy, which further strengthened the good name of the Mohammedans.

Turkestan located in the east of Uzbekistan (or Chagatai), in the west of Katai, in the north of India and in the south of True Tartaria. It is divided into several kingdoms, the most famous of which are Cascar, Cotan, Cialis, Ciarchian and Thibet. Some capitals have the same names, and sometimes for the rulers of these kingdoms they use Hiarchan instead of Cascar, and Turon or Turphon instead of Cialis. Kingdom Cascar is the richest, most abundant and most developed of all. Kingdom Ciarciam- the smallest and sandy, which is compensated by the presence of a lot of jasper and lavender there. AT Cascar a lot of excellent rhubarb grows. Cotan and Cialis produce a variety of fruits, wine, flax, hemp, cotton, etc. Tibet is closest to the Mughals of India and is located among the mountains of Imave, the Caucasus and Vssonte. It is rich in wild animals, musk, cinnamon and uses coral instead of money. The links we established with this state in 1624 and 1626 will make it greater and richer, like Cathay. But those three states [to which we went] in 1651 are cold and always covered with snow - it is believed that there [is] the king of all barbarians - and the less powerful of [the city] Serenegar, which is not Rahia? between the states of the Great Mogul, so that we are not sure of the [fruitfulness] of most of these ties.

katai is the easternmost part of Tartaria. It is considered the richest and most powerful state. In the west, it borders on Turkestan, on China in the south, on the north with True Tartaria, and in the east it is washed by the Ies Strait. (d'estroit de Iesso). Some believe that all of Cathay is [governed] by one monarch or emperor, whom they call khan or ulukhan, which means the Great Khan, who is the greatest and richest ruler of the world. Others believe that there [rule] various kings who are splendid subjects of the Great Khan. This mighty, well-cultivated and built-up country is rich in everything one could wish for. Its capital is [city] Cambalu, ten (and others say twenty) leagues in length, which has twelve vast suburbs, and to the south is a huge royal palace, at a distance of another ten or twelve leagues. All Tartars, Chinese, Hindus and Persians conduct extensive trade in this city.

Of all the kingdoms of Cathay Tangut- the most prominent. Its capital is [city] Campion, where the caravans of merchants are stopped, preventing them from going further into the kingdom because of the rhubarb. Kingdom of Tenduk (Tenduc) with the capital of the same name supplies sheet gold and silver, silk and falcons. It is believed that in this country there is Prester John - a special king - Christian, more precisely Nestorian - a subject of the Great Khan. Kingdom Thainfur known for a large number of its peoples, excellent wines, magnificent weapons, cannons, etc.

Other great travelers tell wonders about the greatness, power and splendor of the Great Khan, about the extent of his kingdoms, his kings who are his subjects, about the many ambassadors who are always waiting for him, about the reverence and reverence that is shown to him, about the strength and countlessness of his people with whom he can fill his troops. Remote Europe had to believe us until he showed his strength in 1618 (2), when he occupied the passes and passes of this famous mountain and wall that separates Tartaria from China, sacrificing countless people from his great kingdom, capturing and having plundered its most beautiful cities and almost all the provinces; pushing the king of China to Canton and [leaving him in] possession of no more than one or two provinces, but by the treaty of 1650 the king of China was returned most of his country.

True or ancient Tartaria is the northernmost part of Tartaria - the coldest, most uncultivated and most barbaric of all; nevertheless, it is the place from which the Tartars left about 1200 from our salvation, and to which they returned. They are known to rule over six neighboring hordes, carry weapons, and rule over the largest and most beautiful parts of Asia. It is believed that they are the remnants of that half of the ten tribes that were transported. They also say that the tribes of Dan, Naphtali and Zebulun were found there. However, for a completely unknown country can be easily imagined such names as anyone pleases. Their kingdoms, provinces or hordes of Monguls, Buryats (Bargu), Taratars and Naimans are the most famous. Some authors put Gog and Magog there, while others - between the Mughal state (3) and China, Maug? at the top of the lake Chiamay.

The main wealth of True Tartaria is cattle and furs, including the fur of polar bears, black foxes, martens and sables. They live on milk and meat, which they have in abundance; not caring about fruits or cereals. In speech they are still felt ancient Scythian. Some of them have kings, others live in hordes or communities; almost all are shepherds and subjects of the Great Cathay Khan (Grand Chan du Cathay).

Translator's note

1. The first geographer who got a fairly clear idea of ​​the great separating mountain range of Central Asia, running in a north-south direction, was Ptolemy. He calls these mountains Imaus and divides Scythia into two parts: "before the mountains Imaus" and "beyond the mountains Imaus" ( Scythia Intra Imaum Montem and Scythia Extra Imaum Montem). It is believed that this was the name of the modern Himalayas in ancient times. See the map of Scythia and Seriki by Christopher Sellarius (Christopherus Cellarius), published in 1703 in Germany. Also on it we can see the ancient name of the Volga River - RA (rha) on the left and Hyperborean or Scythian Ocean up.

2. Most likely, we are talking about the invasion of the Jurchen Khan Nurkhatsi (1575-1626) on the territory of the Ming Empire - in Liaodong. The Chinese army sent the next year was defeated, and about 50 thousand soldiers died. By 1620, almost all of Liaodong was in the hands of Nurhaci.

3. The state of the Great Moguls has nothing to do with modern Mongolia. It was located in Northern India (the territory of modern Pakistan).

The information we have collected and presented on these pages does not constitute scientific research in the current sense of the word. Today's science, especially historical science, lies with all its might, and we tried to find truthful information about the past of our great Motherland for our readers. And they found her. From this information, it is clear without any doubt that our past is not at all the one that our enemies and their helpful assistants keep repeating about.

Back in the 18th century, everyone knew that Slavic-Aryan Empire, which in the West was called Great Tartaria, existed for many millennia and was the most developed country on the planet. Otherwise, it simply could not have survived as such a huge Empire for a long time! And corrupt historians tirelessly tell us from the school bench that we - the Slavs - they say, just before the very baptism (1000 years ago) supposedly jumped from the trees and climbed out of our pits. But one thing - empty talk, albeit very persistent. And another thing is the facts, which can no longer be brushed aside.

And if you read the Chronology subsection about, then you can get one more indisputable confirmation that the distortion of information about the past of our civilization was deliberate and pre-planned! And we can make an obvious conclusion that the enemies of Humanity are carefully hushed up and destroyed everything related to the real past of the great civilization of the White Race - the civilization of our ancestors, Slavic-Aryan.

Remezov Chronicle

As we have already seen even within the framework of this short review, reliable evidence the existence of a huge Slavic-Aryan Empire, the last name of which is known as Great Tartaria, and which at different times was also called Scythia and Great Asia, are present absolutely. In ancient times, it occupied almost the entire continent of Eurasia and even the north of Africa and America, but then, like shagreen leather, it shrank. Or rather, it was squeezed, gradually biting off the most remote, in Europe - the western provinces, and this process continues to this day.

Hundreds of Western European maps and atlases of the 16th-17th centuries by various authors and publishers, which can be easily found on the Internet, showed that Great Tartaria occupied most of Asia - from the Urals to Kamchatka, Central Asia and the northern part of modern China to the Chinese wall. Around the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, different Tartaria appeared on the maps - Great, Moscow(to the Urals), Chinese(which at one time included the island of Hokkaido), Independent(Central Asia) and Malaya(Zaporozhian Sich). Tartaria was also displayed on the globes of that time, in particular, there are those in Moscow at the State Historical Museum (GIM). There are several medieval globes there. This is, first of all, a giant copper globe, made in 1672 by the heirs of the Amsterdam cartographer Willem Blau for the Swedish king Charles XI, and N. Hill's 1754 papier-mâché globe of the earthly and celestial spheres. And Tartaria is also marked on a 1765 globe, which is in the collection of the Historical Society in Minnesota.

Around the end of the 18th century, after the Great Tartary was defeated in world war, known to us from the school history course, as "Pugachev's Rebellion" 1773-1775, this name on the maps began to be gradually replaced by the Russian Empire, however, Independent and Chinese Tartaria were still displayed until the beginning of the 19th century. After this time, the word Tartaria disappears from the maps altogether and is replaced by other names. For example, Chinese Tartary began to be called Manchuria. All of the above applies to foreign cards. In the Russian language, maps with Tartaria have generally been preserved in an insignificant amount, in extreme cases, in the public domain. For example, there is a map of 1707 by V. Kiprianov "Image of the Earth's Globe" and a map of Asia of 1745. This state of affairs suggests that information about the Great Empire of the Rus carefully destroyed.

However, something still remained and finally reached the broad masses. One of the most significant works are the books and maps of the outstanding Russian cartographer and chronicler of Siberia Semyon Remezov.

He was born in 1642 in the family of the archery centurion Ulyan Remezov. In 1668 he began his sovereign service as a Cossack in Ishim prison. In 1682, for diligence in the service, Remezov received the title of "son of a boyar" and was transferred to Tobolsk. Here it is necessary to clarify that “son of a boyar” did not mean then the son of a boyar, it is just a title that speaks of a person’s belonging to the service nobility. Semyon Remezov inherited the title from his grandfather Moses, who served in Moscow at the court of Patriarch Filaret, but angered him with something and was exiled to Tobolsk.

Moses Remezov served the Tobolsk governor for 20 years, spending them on long-distance campaigns to collect yasak and pacify the recalcitrant. His son Ulyan, grandson Semyon and great-grandson Leonty repeated his fate - they became "boyar children" and also led the life of service people: they collected bread from peasants and from foreigners, accompanied government cargo to Moscow, conducted a census of land and population, looked for the shortest paths, roads , searched for minerals, and also participated in battles with nomads.

In addition, having received a good education, having a penchant for drawing and having inherited the basics of drawing from his father, Semyon Remezov repeatedly compiled maps of the environs of the Tobolsk province, and also designed and supervised the construction and reconstruction of Tobolsk: a number of stone buildings were built, including the Gostiny Dvor, treasury - "rentery" and the order chamber. But perhaps the most striking legacy left to the descendants living on the Siberian land was the architectural ensemble Tobolsk Kremlin.

In 1696, Remezov was entrusted with drawing up a drawing of the entire Siberian land. This activity marked the beginning of unique studies that have come down to us in the form of geographical atlases "Chorographic drawing book" (1697-1711), "Drawing book of Siberia" (1699-1701) and "Service drawing book of Siberia" (1702), as well as annalistic books "Chronicle Siberian Brief Kungur" and "History Siberian" and ethnographic works "Description of the Siberian peoples and the faces of their lands."

The geographical atlases that Remezov compiled simply amaze the imagination with the coverage of territories that were subject to careful study. But this happened at a time when people had only a horse from the “high-speed” means of transportation. In addition, Remezov's materials amaze with the variety of information about the culture, economy, customs and habits of the peoples of Siberia. Yes, and they are decorated with great artistic taste and contain luxurious illustrations.

The "Drawing Book of Siberia" by Semyon Remezov and his three sons can be safely called the first Russian geographical atlas. It consists of a preface and 23 large-format maps, covering the entire territory of Siberia and distinguished by the abundance and detail of information. The book contains handwritten drawings of the lands: the City of Tobolsk and suburbs with streets, Tobolsk city, Tara city, Tyumen city, Turin prison, Vekhotursky city, Pelymsky city, and other cities and environs.

The “Drawing Book of Siberia” was made without a degree network of parallels and meridians, and on some maps the west is at the top, and the east, respectively, at the bottom, and sometimes the south is placed in the upper left corner, and the north is in the lower right, but basically the maps are not oriented north, as we used to, and South. So the Chinese wall is unusually located in the upper right corner. Note that from it to the Amur (modern territory of China) back in the 17th century, all the names were Russian. Also note that a little higher from the name Great Tartaria is located "Land of the Cossack Horde". Given the orientation from south to north, these may well be the lands of Kazakhstan, relatively recently renamed Kazakhstan.

In the absence of a meridian grid, Remezov tied his cartographic images to a network of river and land routes. He obtained information on his "business trips", asked other service people, local residents and travelers. By his own testimony, from such inquiries he learned “I learned about the measure of the land and the distance of the way of cities, their villages and volosts, about rivers, rivers and lakes and about Pomeranian coasts, bays and islands and sea crafts and about all sorts of tracts”.

On the maps, he marked in detail all the rivers and rivers of Siberia from peaks to mouths, along with their tributaries, as well as oxbow lakes, reaches, islands, fords, shoals, ferries, portages, mills, bridges, marinas, wells, swamps, lakes. He drew the land summer and winter roads with a dotted line, and marked the portages for days: “Borami dragged the deer for four days, and up the “Chyudtsky letter”, copied from the Irbit hand-written stone. Sosva go two weeks ". Remezov also used an original system of symbols, including: a city, a Russian village, yurts, an ulus, a mosque, a winter hut, a cemetery, a prayer place, burial mounds, guards, pillars (rocky figures of weathering). In general, the array of information that three generations of the Remezovs have collected is incredibly huge.

Unfortunately, it took as much as 300 years for the descendants to see the work of life of these Russian people. The last entry in it was made in 1730, after which it disappeared from view. It is known that the next time she was seen in 1764 in the personal library of Catherine II. Then it migrated to the Hermitage, and in the middle of the 19th century it was transferred to the Public Library of St. Petersburg. And since then only very narrow specialists have known about it. His other work "Chorographic Drawing Book"

Great Tartaria is a huge country that occupied almost the entire Eurasian continent. The first edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, which appeared in 1771, contains written evidence of this. In this encyclopedia, in the "Geography" section, there is a table in which the authors listed all the countries known to them, indicated their areas and capitals. And the capitals of Tartaria are named there too. It was the capitals - the power was big, one capital was apparently not enough. And if there were capitals, then the country was like that. Most likely something like our federations.

Pay attention - Russia is also indicated in paragraph 9, and in Asia under paragraph 7 Tartaria with three capitals: Chingyan, Samarkand and Tobolsk.

“Great Tartaria is the largest country in the world, as it is said in the first edition of the British Encyclopedia of 1771:” “TARTARY, a vast country in the northern parts of Asia, bounded by Siberia on the north and west: this is called Great Tartary. The Tartars who lie south of Moscovy and Siberia, are those of Astracan, Circassia, and Dagistan, situated north-west of the Caspian-sea; the Calmuc Tartars, who lie between Siberia and the Caspian-sea; the Usbec Tartars and Moguls, who lie north of Persia and India; and lastly, those of Tibet, who lie north-west of China.”

Tartaria, a huge country in the northern part of Asia, bounded by Siberia in the north and west: which is called Great Tartaria. Tartars living south of Muscovy and Siberia, in the north-west of the Caspian Sea, are called Astrakhan, Circassian; Kalmyk Tartars occupy the territory between Siberia and the Caspian Sea; Uzbek Tartars and Mughals live north of Persia and India; and finally, the Tibetan live in the northwest of China.

Once again, I assume that Tartaria was a federation. In the 18th century, it is obvious that Muscovy, then and now called Russia, finally broke away from this federation. The latter apparently already felt like an isolated state and dreamed of developing its autonomy further. Therefore, they went to Kazan, and continued to send people to Siberia, including churchmen.

As a result, at the end of the 18th century, information about Tartaria was completely lost. Political intrigues and religious contradictions shattered the great power. In parallel, the Dutch and Germans diligently wrote the history of Russia in their books.

But it was European book sources that retained something. Here is another bombshell for modern history, recorded in the Historical Atlas of Shatlan, in the 5th volume on page 94 - the genealogical tree of the Genghisides. Literal translation - "Genealogy of the ancient emperors of Tartaria, descendants of Genghis Khan"

• Again we meet the name Tartary
• We learn that Genghis Khan and his descendants were the rulers of this very Tartaria
• we do not meet in the text of Shatlan any Mongols and Tatars- it's always about the Mughals (Mogol) and tartars (Tartares)
• below the diagram - a map of Tartaria, the size and geography of the borders speak for themselves.

Recently, more and more information appears about the history of Tartaria. This is a fictional state, which, according to supporters of alternative history, was the ancestral home of the Slavic race. It is assumed that it existed in the XVI-XIX centuries, but was later erased from history as a result of conspiracies of opponents of Russian identity. Allegedly, at present, all eminent scientists hide this truth from everyone.

The main evidence of the existence of this state are maps and old books that really mention Great Tartaria. Under it, cartographers and historians of that time meant the territories of Siberia, the Volga region, Tibet, Central Asia and the Far East up to the borders with China. Accordingly, depending on the time period, in fact, the Great Tartaria was different states, including the Golden Horde, the Mongol Empire and many others.

How did the version come about?

They began to actively discuss the history of Tartaria with the filing of the domestic publicist and writer Nikolai Levashov, the author of the nationalist neo-pagan occult teaching. At various times he called himself a healer and a member of four public academies. In the media, he was repeatedly characterized as the founder of a totalitarian cult, known as "Renaissance. The Golden Age." In particular, he wrote the book "Russia in Crooked Mirrors", which was recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation for imposing negativity on Jews and indirectly inciting religious hatred.

Levashov himself died in 2012 at the age of 51. For the first time, he spoke about the history of the state of Tartaria in his article "Hushed History of Russia". In it, he cites as an experiment a map from the British Encyclopedia for 1771, on which, in addition to other countries well known to everyone, there are several Tartaria at once, including Moscow, Chinese, Kuban, Mongolian. Levashov considered that all these were the remnants of the Great Tartary that once existed.

According to him, the capital of this empire was destroyed by the hordes of the Dzungars, which was facilitated by Dmitry Donskoy, who, according to Levashov, started a civil war against Mamai. Previously, similar conspiracy theories have already been expressed. For example, the head of a new religious association of neo-pagan orientation "Old Russian Church of Orthodox Old Believers-Inglings" Alexander Khinevich back in the early 90s. In 2004, the Omsk Regional Court banned the activities of his religious community, deeming it extremist. In 2014, he was accused of inciting religious and ethnic hatred.

Soon the idea of ​​the history of the state of Tartaria gained some notoriety in some circles. As the main arguments of this theory, its supporters always cite ancient maps that mention this state. Then they compare the descriptions of the Tartars with the Russians, concluding that they are one and the same people. In some cases, modern words are translated into the ancient proto-language, finding additional meanings in them.

How did the Europeans learn about Tartaria?

The acquaintance of Europeans with the Mongols took place around the 13th century. Soon, Asians began to be associated with everything bad that could be in this world, from which the association with demons from Tartarus was born. European historians of that time soon began to compare the Mongols with the messengers of hell. The Holy Roman Emperor draws these analogies in his letter to the English King Henry III, who ruled from 1216 to 1272.

It is noteworthy that the negative connotation was not immediately attached to the Mongols. When the Europeans first learned about their conquests in Asia, they decided that this was the army of the legendary Christian presbyter John, so they even expected him to help in the war against the Saracens. In 1221, the Bishop of Acre, Jacques de Vitry, even distributes documents, claiming that these are reports from King David, received by him from scouts from East Turkestan.

Thus, he tried to bring to life the rumors that the Mongols were also Christians. Confirmation that the Mongols at that time were perceived as co-religionists can also be found in Alberic de Trou-Fontaine, when he describes the battle on Kalka. However, even then the chronicler expressed some doubts that the Mongols really had at least some relation to Christianity.

By that time, apparently, in Europe there was a transformation of the Tatars, as the Mongols were then called, into "tartar", as well as their identification with an unknown and distant kingdom of the same name, which is located in the Asian region, not yet explored by Europeans.

It is interesting that in the XVII-XVIII centuries, travelers and missionaries began to write with surprise that in fact only Tatars exist, as they call themselves. In Poland, Russia, Turkey and the rest of Asia, there are only concepts of "Tatars" and "Tataria". For example, such messages can be found in "Information about Siberia and the way to China", collected by the missionary F. Avril in 1686, as well as in the "New geographical description of Great Tataria", made by the Swedish captain Philipp Johann von Strahlenberg in 1730.

By the way, some Europeans were aware of the correct pronunciation as early as the 13th century. For example, the Salimbene Parma chronograph points to this. The term "Tatars" is also used by Henry of Latvia in the "Livonian Chronicle", describing the battle on the Kalka.

How did they hide an entire continent?

This rhetorical question is regularly asked by numerous followers of Levashov and his ideas, talking about the history of Tartaria. Based on the same Encyclopædia Britannica of 1771, they note that at the end of the 18th century, all of Siberia was formed as an independent state with its capital in Tobolsk.

At the same time, the existence of Moscow Tartaria is also noted, which, allegedly according to the same encyclopedia, was the largest country in the world at that time. What is the secret then of the history of Tartaria, where did such a huge state go?

Supporters of conspiracy theories note that in order to answer this question, it is necessary to rethink many facts that prove that until the end of the 18th century, a giant state existed on the territory of modern Eurasia, which was excluded from world history only in the 19th century. It was then, allegedly as a result of a large-scale conspiracy, that everyone pretended that such a country had never existed.

As evidence, quotes are given from the same encyclopedia "Britanic" of 1771, which speaks of the country of Tartaria and its history. In particular, it is written that this is a huge state in the northern part of Asia, which borders on Siberia in the west and north. And there are different tartars:

• Those who live south of Siberia and Muscovy are called Circassian, Astrakhan and Dagestan.
• Living in the north-west of the Caspian Sea - Kalmyk.
• Living north of India and Persia - Mongols and Uzbek Tartars.
• Tibetan Tartars settled in the northwest of China.

Moreover, in this edition there is no mention of the Russian Empire. But it is written that the largest country in the world is Great Tartaria, which covers the area of ​​almost the entire Eurasia. The Moscow principality, in which the Romanovs already ruled by that time, is allegedly only one of the provinces of this empire, bearing the name of Moscow Tartaria. As evidence, maps of Asia and Europe are provided, on which this information is confirmed.

Surprisingly, in the next edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, there is no information about that state at all, which is one of the main arguments of supporters of conspiracy theories in support of their ideas.

Contemporary sources

Today, many versions are put forward about what happened to this powerful state. Most of them are presented in the work "Tartaria - the history of the disappeared state" from the cycle "Kryon of Russia". It tells about the beginning of a new civilization, the awakening of a sleeping city, the multidimensional genome of humanity. The article "Tartaria - the history of the disappeared state" is carefully studied and analyzed, while it is worth recognizing that most of the facts set forth in it do not correspond to reality and the ideas of modern science about the surrounding world.

Siberian researcher Sergei Ignatenko has a whole series of documentaries about the forbidden history of Tartaria. In particular, the author claims that he bases them exclusively on documentary and official materials, putting forward his own versions of the history of our country. He also mentions the work "Tartaria - the history of the disappeared state." The series consists of four paintings:

• The first film in the Forbidden Story series about Tartaria. It tells what was written about this state in the books of reputable European historians, how the people who lived there dressed and looked, what reports were published by travelers based on the results of their visits. In the cycle "Forbidden History of Russia" part 1 about Tartaria is of the greatest interest to the audience.
• In the second film, Ignatenko talks about the mysterious Chudi people, trying to establish the difference between Tatars and Tartars, and also what relation the Chudi have to the Dinlins.
• The third film tells about Yermak's campaign against Siberia. The main questions that the researcher poses for himself are: with whom did he fight when he got to Siberia, who Yermak himself was in reality, even analyzes whether he participated in the atomic war.
• Finally, the fourth series, entitled "Exploration of Siberia in the 19th century," tells about when Siberia was actually conquered by the Russian Empire.

It is in the documentary "Forbidden History of Siberia-1. Great Tartary" that most of the hypotheses that exist about this mythical state are presented.

Travels of Marco Polo

As proof of this theory, even the works of Marco Polo are cited, in which he describes his many travels. In particular, in books about the history of Tartaria, an English-language edition of 1908 about his travels is given.

For example, it is argued that it is almost entirely devoted to the same Tartary, its rulers and provinces, laws and regulations, life and organization of state administration, a description of the habits of its inhabitants. The same information can be found in the Russian translation, with the difference that instead of "Tartars" it refers to "Tatars", and the word "Mogul" is generally excluded from the text.

As a result, the elite and color of the most powerful, large, progressive and rich state of the times of the Italian traveler turned into ignorant, wild and bloodthirsty nomads of the Tatar-Mongols. Moreover, this transformation took place quite recently, only at the beginning of the 20th century, when they began to actively rewrite the real history of Tartaria.

It is interesting that the researchers study in detail the editions of the traveler's notes, finding the mention of Tartaria in earlier lists. The country of Tartaria and its history is of such great interest today, because it completely changes modern ideas about the structure of the world in those days. For example, in Polo it can be found that the Tartars do not destroy cities that capture, do not kill their inhabitants, but appoint wise rulers to them, contributing to the prosperity and full development of these areas.

If you believe these sources, it turns out that the Tartars, whom in the modern interpretation we call the Tatar-Mongols, did not come to new lands with the aim of killing and robbing local residents. On the contrary, they sought to restore order, obliged the townspeople to do this, tried to ensure the safety of travelers where possible.

It is important that the concept of "Moguls" was completely removed from the alternative history of Tartaria, which were replaced by "Mongols". Unlike the latter, the Mughals are Scythians, Tartars and Slavs. The same Marco Polo wrote that the Mughals were a Tartar royal dynasty. It turns out that the rulers of all regions of this state were members of the same family, they called themselves the Mughals.

Describing their appearance, the traveler unequivocally indicates that they were representatives of the white race, regardless of where they lived: in China, Turkestan, India or other areas of Great Tartaria.

Founding of the state

"The Hidden History of Tartaria" is another documentary film of the "Secret Territories" project, aired on the REN TV channel. It came out with the subtitle "Ancient Chinese Russia. Reality." In particular, the "Hidden History of Tartaria" states that it was the representatives of this people who played a decisive role in the construction of the Great Wall of China. Allegedly, this is confirmed by the latest archaeological discoveries.

Based on this, we can conclude that the history of Tartaria is ancient. At the same time, it is not possible to establish at least approximately when the first mention of it appeared. The film "Tartaria - the history of the disappeared state" notes that already in the 11th century it was remembered after several centuries of oblivion.

All this confirms the fact that already in the 5th-7th centuries this state not only existed, but also had its own Christian rulers. On this basis, we can conclude that Prester John, about whom Marco Polo writes, was another Tartar king who had a certain number of countries and states under his control.

Supporters of the true chronology of the history of Tartaria believe that Genghis Khan in the 12th century became the first Tartar king of a non-Christian faith.

As a result, it is argued that the Scythians who existed in ancient times did not disappear anywhere, remaining to live on approximately the same lands as before, only becoming known as Tartars. They had paramilitary detachments (hordes), which, most likely, were distributed throughout the territory of Tartaria, no matter how large it was at that time. Their members were engaged in keeping order, collecting tribute, that is, in fact, an analogue of income tax. Marco Polo also mentions it, speaking of tithing.

hidden truth

In the Forbidden History of Russia cycle, the authors think a lot about Tartaria, in particular, trying to understand why no one tells the truth about it in modern history lessons. According to the most common version, the reason lies not even in hiding the glorious historical roots of our ancestors, but in the fact that at a certain period of history a war was waged to exterminate the peoples of Tartaria by the Moscow Principality.

Allegedly, the Muscovites exterminated the original settlers, and those who remained alive were driven to the reservations. Then it becomes obvious what is being hidden from us in the history of Tartaria. If you believe this hypothesis, then the history of modern Russia is built on the blood of a foreign people.

The history of Russia with Tartary is closely connected. It says a lot about the atrocities and suffering that the Tatar-Mongols brought to our land. They kept the Russians under oppression for three centuries, but still survived. Supporters of alternative history believe that the situation developed exactly the opposite. On the basis of the works of the most famous domestic alternative historian Anatoly Fomenko, some come to the conclusion that it was the Muscovites who destroyed Tartaria.

For example, it is this version that is set forth in Fomenko's New Chronology. This is a pseudo-scientific theory of a radical revision of the entire world history, which has been categorically rejected by the scientific community. In it, the author claims that the entire historical chronology is fundamentally wrong: the written history of mankind is much shorter than is commonly believed, the states of Antiquity, the early Middle Ages, and especially ancient civilizations are nothing more than phantom reflections of much later cultures that were inscribed due to biased or erroneous interpretation of sources.

The history itself, according to the authors of the concept, practically did not exist until the 10th century AD. In their opinion, in the Middle Ages there was a gigantic empire with a political center on the territory of Russia, which covered almost all of Asia and Europe, and according to some sources, even both Americas. Contradictions with known and documented facts are explained by the global falsification of historical documents.

Thus, one of the arguments in favor of the existence of a gigantic world empire in the Middle Ages, which was ruled by Russian khans, is the fact that on Western European maps until the beginning of the 19th century, significant territories of Asia were designated as Tartaria.

Interestingly, this theory is largely based on the ideas of the scientist and Russian revolutionary Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov, who proposed a global revision of the chronology of the entire world history. His conjecture was very popular at the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University, where Fomenko studied. It was promoted at that time by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Lenin Prize laureate Mikhail Mikhailovich Postnikov.

The original version of the history of Russia and Tartaria was formulated by Fomenko in the early 80s, since 1981 he began to develop the theory together with another Russian mathematician Gleb Vladimirovich Nosovsky, who became the co-author of most of Fomenko's books.

It is worth recognizing that in the 90s it turned into a large-scale commercial project. By 2011 alone, more than a hundred books with a total circulation of about 800,000 copies had been published.

Falsification of history?

Those who believe in the history of Tartaria and its collapse seek to explain in every possible way why this empire was actually wiped off the face of the Earth.

Some even call it "The Silent Empire". The article "Tartaria, or how history is falsified" states that over the past several centuries, Western historians, who were outright Russophobes, have mainly written about the domestic past. Allegedly, they could not allow the truth about the true role of the Slavic peoples in world history to be revealed.

If in all documents until the 18th century Tartaria was called a powerful empire with developed shipping, industry, extraction of precious metals, fur trade, then from the beginning of the 18th century this information began to be carefully erased from all documents.

According to some historians, in ancient times there was a great confrontation between two powerful empires - the Holy Roman and the Great Tartar. The first was built on the Anglo-Saxon Western world, and the second on the Slavic peoples. Moreover, the palm belonged to the Tartars, in which the Europeans were actually in the position of vassals. This situation continued for several centuries.

Decline of an empire

Why the Great Tartaria disappeared is still not known. There are several reasons and explanations for this.

According to some researchers, the cold snap was the culprit. It is worth recognizing that strong climate change often led to the economic fall of the most developed civilizations.

Others believe that this was due to corruption and internecine confrontations, which actually destroyed the economy of the empire. In any case, supporters of the existence of this state insist that our ancestors were much more cultured than is commonly believed today. And the real contribution of the Slavs to scientific and cultural progress is still not appreciated.

The most exotic version

Finally, there is a completely exotic version that explains the fate of this state. For example, some researchers argue that the empire could have died as a result of nuclear bombardments.

In the works of these fans of alternative history, one can find references to the fact that the situation in the state began to deteriorate radically at the end of the 18th century (according to modern chronology). It was then that the Tartars succumbed to the pernicious and destructive influence of monotheism for them, in particular, to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The population of the European part of the Great Tartaria actually plunged into the abyss of aggressive and religious wars, rebellions, political intrigues, civil strife and revolutions.

In this version, Great Tartaria is considered the largest state that has ever existed on the planet. Its natural borders stretched over the entire Northern Hemisphere without exception, limited only to ocean shores. As a result, the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic oceans (three of the four available) were actually its inland waters.

Under the onslaught of world religions, only a part of the once great empire withstood, retaining the faith of their ancestors and moral purity. As a result, between the so-called plague-ridden western lands and the metropolis, the border ran from the Indian to the Arctic Ocean, along the shores of the Caspian Sea, the Ural Mountains.

Unsuccessfully for Tartaria, a war developed between Muscovy and Britain. After a series of crushing defeats, she was forced to admit the loss of a significant part of her territories. In particular, in the Northern Caspian, in the Southern Urals, in North-East and Central India, South-Western Siberia, on the east coast of North America.

Supporters of this hypothesis are convinced that in our time the episodes related to this war, which can be considered a world war in its scope and the number of affected territories and peoples, are known as the development of Siberia. It was accompanied by the uprising of Yemelyan Pugachev in the 18th century. This also includes the war for the independence of the British colonies and the United States of America, the colonization of India. In fact, as they believe, all these were parts of one worldwide military confrontation.

But even after that, Great Tartaria by the beginning of the 19th century remained the most powerful and largest state in the world. Adherents of alternative history do not believe that a defeat in a world war could destroy such a powerful and great power. If only because the people who inhabited the empire only two hundred years ago were completely homogeneous and united. Therefore, not a single internal political crisis could lead to the collapse of the Great Tartaria. The locals spoke the same language, were of the same nationality and religion. This situation persisted from Tibet to Novaya Zemlya and from Alaska to the Urals.

The only option that seems to them a reasonable and realistic explanation for the death of this empire is the extermination of the entire people to a single person. But at that time it was beyond the power of any state in the world. It is believed that the famous commander Alexander Suvorov, who participated in the defeat of Pugachev and personally brought him to the capital, could inflict a major defeat on the Tartar troops.

According to this very exotic version, the Tartars were finally destroyed in February 1816. Later it was called "a year without summer", and official modern science considers it the beginning of the Little Ice Age, which lasted three years.

In March, frosts persisted in North America. Rains and hail in April and May, coupled with cold weather, destroyed almost the entire crop. Strong storms tormented Germany, there was a crop failure all over the planet, so already in 1817 grain prices in Europe increased 10 times. Hunger has begun.

It is believed that the answer to this three-year cold was discovered by the American researcher Humphreys, who linked climate change with the eruption of the Tambora volcano on the island of Sumbawa. This hypothesis is generally accepted by modern science. Although some strongly do not understand how a volcano in the southern hemisphere could affect the climate in the northern.

In addition, although Europe and America were starving, no cataclysms happened in Russia. Alternative historians explain this by the fact that it was not possible to actually learn about the troubles due to strict censorship. An indirect confirmation of this is the age of forests, which does not exceed two hundred years. This means that they were all destroyed then.

Another proof is the karst lakes common in Russia. They are perfectly round in shape, and their diameter coincides with the size of the funnels from air nuclear explosions. They also note that it was in the 19th century that cancerous diseases appeared, which came from nowhere.

They note that even the fire that destroyed Moscow during the Patriotic War of 1812, as well as the diseases that followed it, are too reminiscent of the events in Hiroshima and Nagasaki that occurred a century and a half later.

It is noted that the majority of the population of Great Tataria burned down in atomic explosions, the survivors died of cancer and radiation sickness. Allegedly, the initiators first used the nuclear stock against Napoleon, and then, convinced of its effectiveness, they also used it to finally resolve the Tartar issue.

Probably, many people remember how at the end of 1991, a multimillion-strong population woke up on December 27 no longer as Soviet people, but who knows who. And the citizens of which state they are now were determined for many more years. The geopolitical metamorphosis that took place almost twenty years ago did not affect me personally in any way, because I was born and still live in Russia.

What was my surprise when some time ago it became known that all this time I had been living not just in Russia, but on the territory of the State, Power, Empire, which had a completely different name, radically different from the word "Russia". This name was finally removed from the modern history of Russia and the official history of the rest of the world quite recently, at the beginning of the last century.

This second geopolitical metamorphosis affected me a little differently and led to the creation of a film “based on the unique works of Svetlana and Nikolai Levashov. In this film, I tried to tell about the lost, erased and deleted from reality name of my country, which at the end of the century before last under Emperor Alexander II (1818-1881) was called Great Tartaria, and had absolutely nothing to do with the current Republic of Tatarstan (in Soviet times - Tataria) had.

This fact is documented in the first edition of the 1771 Encyclopædia Britannica,

"The Drawing Book of Siberia" by Semyon Remezov and his three sons

The logic of those past years is understandable. To the question: “what is Tartaria?” they probably had to answer that, they say, this is the name of the largest power in the world. And the name itself appeared in the West as an abbreviation of the statement of the Rus: "We are the children of Tarkh and Tara." And then I had to explain that Tarkh and Tara are the Patron Gods of the Slavic peoples. And then, for sure, other questions appeared, for example, where did these come from, if the Creator is one and only? ..

Such curiosity was extremely inconvenient for those from TORIANs who served our enemies and worked hard in the bosom of the Church. And then they were ordered to erase the name "Tartaria" from the face of the Russian land and from human memory, as well as from all Russian geographical maps. And they succeeded, I think, by 99 percent. But those fromTORiki and their owners miscalculated, and the remaining one percent surfaced in the form of maps of Western cartographers, enthusiastically copying the maps of the Rus. And there were thousands of these cards! Of course, most of them are fakes, but there are also a few real ones ...

At the beginning of the film, a brief analysis of the name of the country "Russia" is given, it is explained from what words it was formed and what territory this country occupied. It is further described how the Slavic-Aryan Empire began to be called in the West "Great Tartaria", evidence is presented from the first issue of the Encyclopædia Britannica of 1771 edition, and numerous geographical maps of different centuries.

Explains who they were urs in fact, and what impact they had with their cult'UR (Vedic worldview) on the system of moral and spiritual values ​​of the Slavs. How did the castes of sorcerers, artisans, grain growers, cattle breeders, and tribes of Scots, glades, drevlyans appear ...

The theme of the commonality of the Slavic-Aryan Vedas and the book of Veles is touched upon, and it is also told about the war between Antlania (Atlantis), the consequences of which led to
