An impressive literary landing has landed in the small town of Kovdor in the Murmansk region - well-known Russian science fiction writers have visited the land that today calls itself the capital of Hyperborea. As it turned out, there are many indirect evidences in the district in favor of this version of the location of the mythical country of antiquity.

Sergey Lukyanenko (author of "Dozorov"), Vadim Panov ("Secret City" cycle), Vladimir Torin ("Amalgam"), Andrey Shcherbak-Zhukov ("Virtual Pierrot"), Oleg Divov came to Kovdor to get acquainted with local sights and communicate with readers ("Absolute Peacekeepers"), Anton Pervushin ("The Hunt for Herostratus") and editor-in-chief of "Literaturnaya Gazeta", writer and poet Maxim Zamshev. Many of them in one way or another mentioned Hyperborea in their works.
The writers visited the city park, where a unique runestone is located. According to the researcher of Hyperborea Natalya Kulagina, this is a kind of "hard disk" of antiquity, left by the inhabitants of the mythical country for the preservation and transmission of information. Science fiction writers also met a hereditary Sami shaman - she told the guests a story about how she became a Noyd. According to one version of the Sami, these are good shamans who help people, in contrast to the geydu (witches) who are capable of harm.
We visited a shamaness. She told us about the ancient Sami customs and her encounters with the giant Hyperboreans. The pensive fiction writers left back to Kovdor, - Sergei Lukyanenko described this meeting in his social media accounts.
Passports of citizens of Hyperborea presented to science fiction writers became the most original souvenir. The document is certified by the head of the Kovdor region, Sergei Somov, and by the serpent Kuvvt, after whom the city got its name.
The first passports of citizens of Hyperborea were issued. I really like the term of their validity - "end of the world". Congratulations to my colleagues on the official recognition of "spiritual beings of the highest order." The documents look amazing, - said Oleg Divov.
It is worth noting that the city of Kovdor itself is quite young - the year of its foundation is considered 1953, when the construction of a mining and processing plant (GOK) began here, a working village appeared. The location in this regard is more than successful - about 200 types of minerals have been discovered in the vicinity. The discoverer of the Kovdor iron ore deposit, Konstantin Koshyts, a mineralogist and teacher of Leningrad University, the granddaughter of the great composer Olga Rimskaya-Korsakova, and the director of the GOK Alexei Sukhachev, are called involved in the founding of the city. Now the municipality is looking for new ways of development, its project "Kovdor - the capital of Hyperborea" was recognized as exemplary in terms of the development of the territory in the Far North.
The culmination of the congress of science fiction writers in the Arctic was a meeting with readers in the city Palace of Culture, where a discussion about Hyperborea took place.
In my books, I only slightly touched on the history of Hyperborea, but what is happening in Kovdor now, it seems to me, will give an impetus for us to learn and tell even more about this, - says science fiction writer Vadim Panov. - Everyone knows perfectly well that the Kola Peninsula is a secret that, for various reasons, was not dealt with. It seems to me that the fact that Kovdor has decided to pay serious attention to this will help become one of the main tourist destinations in Russia.
In the cycle of his novels "The Secret City" Vadim Panov often mentioned the Hyperboreans and the world serpent, which bites its own tail. And the main character of the novel "Tantamareska" by Vladimir Torin is a resident of Hyperborea named Eo.
The writers also shared their creative plans with their readers (more than 20 thousand people watched the online broadcast of the meeting alone), held a master class for novice writers and an autograph session.
Diamond City of Hyperborea
Hyperborea - a mysterious country at the North Pole - is spoken not only by ancient Greek myths, but also by ancient historical tradition, including Homer, Hesiod, Damastus, Herodotus, Aristotle, Hecateus of Abder, Diodorus Sicily, Pliny the Elder, Porfiry, Iamblichus and others. This country was located far beyond the Riphean mountains, where the god of the north wind Boreas lived. Behind these mountains lives a happy people - Hyperboreans. There are no cold or sultry winds, and the earth bears abundant fruits.
It was in Hyperborea that Latona (Summer) was born, who gave birth to Apollo and Artemis on the island of Delos. Apollo, before his establishment in Delphi, lived among the Hyperboreans and later returned there periodically. According to Pausanias, the famous temple of Apollo in Delphi was founded by the Hyperborean priests. During the time of Herodotus, the graves of two Hyperboreans, Arga and Opida, who accompanied the goddess Leto when she arrived on the island, were venerated on Delos. Among the persons who participated in the annual embassies, history mentions two other girls - Hyperochus and Laodike. These Hyperboreics also died on Delos, Herodotus himself saw their graves. In the 1920s. French archaeologists discovered the remains of the masonry of the tombs of the "Hyperborean virgins" on Delos, thus confirming the message of Herodotus.
With the end of the ancient world, interest in the "blissful" northern country also faded. Only at the end of the XIX - beginning of the XX century. mankind again turned its gaze to the pole. One of such scientific sensations was the books of the American scientist W. F. Warren "The Found Paradise, or the Cradle of Humanity at the North Pole" (Boston, 1893), the Indian scientist BG Tilak "The Arctic Homeland in the Vedas" (Bombay, 1903) and other researchers. In these works it was proved that the ancestors of the Indians in ancient times lived in the Arctic Circle. The ancient Indian epics "Rigveda", "Mahabharata", "Ramayana", "Puranas" spoke about this.
It is there, at the foot of the "immeasurably high" Mount Meru, that the Sea of \u200b\u200bMilk splashes, in the northern part of which there is the large island of Shvetadvipa ( White Island). It was here that Brahma strengthened the Dhruva (Polaris), around which the Seven Rishis (seven stars of the Big Dipper) move, the constellations Cassiopeia and Bootes. At night, which lasts six months there, the Moon and the stars dance in a round dance around Dhruva, and during the day, which also lasts six months, the Sun circles around Meru.
The Indians called this place "the land where bliss is eaten." There live “fragrant ... brave men, removed from all evil ... wonderful in appearance; full of vitality; strong, like a diamond, their bones ... ". After the cataclysms changed the climate in the Arctic homeland, the Indians left for the Indian subcontinent. Similar information about the northern ancestral home was found in the sacred texts of the ancient Persians "Avesta". Only there the mountain is not called Meru, but the High Hara. Around the mountain is the wonderful land of Aryavarta or Ayriyayna Veyo - the Aryan Seed, where "people, plants and animals are the most beautiful, where there are no diseases and misfortunes, and people live a wonderful life."
The geographical maps of the 15th – 16th centuries have survived to this day: Ptolemy (published in Rome in 1490), G. Mercator (1538, 1569, 1595), A. Florian (1590), which not only accurately show the islands of the legendary Hyperboreans, but also suggest a completely different shape coastline Northern Europe, North America and Russia. On the Mercator map from 1538 there is an image of two splits of a once single continent, and if you superimpose it on a tectonic map of the Arctic with the involvement of geomorphological data of the Soviet oceanographer, doctor of geographical sciences, professor, long-term head of the geography department of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute Ya J. Gakkel (1901-1965), then it will show that these faults were formed taking into account the continental drift about 300 million years ago and pass, respectively, along the northwestern slope of the Canadian and northern slopes of the Baltic shields. On a later map (1569), if the "Scandinavian" part of the Mercatorian Hyperborea is superimposed on the map of modern Scandinavia, then mountain range, running along Norway and the Kola Peninsula, coincides with the mountains of Hyperborea; The Hyperborean river that flows from these mountains follows the outlines of the Gulf of Bothnia. The southern border of the legendary continent then passes through Ladoga and Onega lakes, through Valaam and Vygortia, turning to the north - to the spur of the middle ridge of the Kola Peninsula.
One of the first to write about Hyperborea was an Icelandic alchemist of the 16th century. Arne Sacknussen. They were given a fairly accurate map of this country and, oddly enough, indicated the way there. Saknussen and many of his students were supporters of such a science as hermetic geography, or magical geography. He regards the North, Nord, as a magical point from which lines like the feathers of a fan radiate. The star Arcturus, or the North Star, as Sacknussen writes, is that focus, that universal life constant that keeps this fan on itself. The feathers of such a fan diverge to the South and into the Night. This is one of the initial schemes of the hermetic worldview of the world he perceives.
In the first half of the XIX century. the most convincing reconstruction of Hyperborea was carried out by the German scientist Hermann Wirth. He believed that the “original” people came from the Far North, who founded the “pro-religion”, which combined cosmological dualism and metaphysical monotheism. When the Arctic paleocontinent sank into the ocean, the inhabitants of the Arctic migrated from north to south, to Eurasia, and from there settled all over the world. Herman Wirth believed that it was Atlantis who became the heir to the mighty knowledge of Hyperborea.
The Russian poet Nikolai Klyuev, in his Song of the Great Mother, describes the underwater Diamond City - the spiritual center of the Russian Old Believers, where the hermit fathers went to the “ice cities”. Alexander Blok in the play "Dionysus Hyperborean" tells about the symbolic ascent to the snowy mountains in the North in search of God. The rich folklore tradition, legends, legends, legends of many peoples of Europe and Asia speak of the northern Aryan ancestral home, where the golden age reigned.
Since 1986, the Marine Arctic Complex Expedition has been actively involved in systematic studies of the Russian Arctic. She carefully studies the sacred places on northern islands... On Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land, Vaigach and Kolguev islands, Stone Age tools were discovered. On Novaya Zemlya, for example, stone labyrinths have been discovered, like in Solovki or in Scandinavia, but no one has ever built them so far in the northeast. A seven-faced figure of a Nenets deity of a cruciform shape was found near the island of Vaygach.
In 1995, under the auspices of the Russian Geographical Society, the Integrated Northern Search Expedition (KSPE) was formed under the leadership of a full member of the Russian Geographical Society, Sergei Golubev. First of all, the members of the expedition decided to explore the White Sea islands (including the Solovetsky archipelago), the Khibiny tundra (mountains) - the highest place on the Kola Peninsula. Translated from the ancient Samoyed Ugric dialects, the name of the Khibiny means Sacred, Divine.
Pyotr Boyarsky, scientific director of the Russian Research Institute of Cultural and Natural Heritage, is developing a hypothesis for the so-called "Grumantsky Bridge". This is a vast strip of Arctic land, which connected Eurasia with America about 20 thousand years ago: through the current Vaygach, Novaya Zemlya, Franz Josef Land, Svalbard and Greenland. Recent studies by geologists, glaciologists and other specialists allow us to conclude that the glaciation of these lands was not continuous, which means that people could live there and a high culture could develop autonomously.
According to the Russian researcher Evgeny Lazarev, many natural gorges, mountains, seids, fiords in Finno-Scandia are a geologically unchanged fragment ancient land - indicate some special points of the no longer existing primary polar continent. Tradition calls these arctic lands Hyperborea. The most ancient paths, sacred roads, which were laid in time immemorial by the first colonists from Hyperborea and Atlantis from the north and northwest, who poured into the Eurasian continent, can be attributed to the same objects. Perhaps, such is the road that crosses the valley of the Luvengi River and leads to Mount Akatevskaya. When you go to it from Kandalaksha, almost exactly to the east, leaving behind the Kandalaksha labyrinth, the mountain rises in front, and you can clearly see the gorge cutting through its top like a giant vizier. The road is oriented towards him ...
The mouth of the Luvenga remains on the right; next to it is a small part of the White Sea, bounded by picturesque islets and called the Indian Sea. Some scholars associate this name with the name of Mount Akatievskaya (“akk” in Sami “grandmother”) and suggest that these place names are related to the ancient cult of the Great Goddess-Progenitor. On the mountain, you can find a seid long destroyed by time, almost imperceptible to the eye. Apparently, the ancient Laplanders associated this mountain with the image of the Goddess-Progenitor, that the mountain is marked with a gorge - a symbolic likeness of the divine bosom. The mountain and gorge are oriented exactly east (azimuth 110 °). In the European North (Vaigach Island), the veneration of a high rock with a vertical crevice is evidenced precisely as the Mother-idol. The same sacred meaning can be attributed to the Elmorayok gorge leading to the sacred Seydozero, it cuts through the wall of the Lovozero mountains from the north-west. It is noteworthy that in the orientation of some seids of the Lovozero Mountains, a mysterious shift of 30 ° relative to the cardinal points is traced. But the Elmorajok gorge also "deviates" from the north by 30 ° (azimuth 330 °)!
It is not excluded, writes Lazarev, that this direction has independent significance in a more "global" sacred geography. Searches in the field of sacred geography of the northern part of Eurasia (including Russia) give rise to a sense of the nonrandomness of all these landscape landmarks, which clearly "lead" somewhere in a certain direction. We are dealing here with an artificial change in the landscape almost throughout the entire territory of the Earth, which, in turn, was carried out by the ancient human races of the Hyperboreans, Lemurians and Atlanteans. If we continue all these lines, they will lead not directly to the North Pole, but somewhere (not yet definitively) in the Arctic Ocean. Perhaps to the invisible corner towers of that Diamond City, which the poet Nikolai Klyuev announced by the “dedicated from the people” in “The Song of the Great Mother”? In this city, in the words of Song, the persecuted “righteous of the Russian Land” went “along the pearl path” - to their “holy brothers” ...
And if it is permissible to supplement this sublime poetry with arithmetic, then let's say that there will be 72 towers in the Diamond City (the angular distance - in longitude - between the landmarks of Valaam, Zaonezhye and Lapland, if we bring them to some single latitude, gives a step of about 5 degrees; 360 °: 5 ° \u003d 72 °). Seventy-two chapels, according to European legends, have an invisible temple of the Grail. A wonderful, radiant (primordial in every tradition) temple, where noble knights and pure virgins keep the Holy Grail ... According to legend, it was a tall, round building in terms of its structure, with 72 side-chapels. It is noteworthy that the embroidered folk Russian calendar-map of the sacred geography of Ancient Russia had, in essence, the same structure as the temple of the Grail. There are ancient traditions that mention 72 dynasties of antediluvian "solar origin" (Iran), 72 "serpent kings" (rulers of Punta in Egyptian legends). It can be assumed that the number 72 is nothing more than the actual number of dynasties that ruled Atlantis before the natural disaster (F. Joseph). From the side-altar of the temple, 72 dynasties of colonists spread out like a fan to other lands in order to carry a civilizing mission.
An interesting message is given by A. Voronin in his book "Sea Colonies of Atlantis" about the Atlantic Diamond City, the legends about which were preserved among the Indians of Central America. Alejandro Serio Perez, a Guatemalan, descendant of the Mayan priests, is the elder of the Americas. This was proclaimed by two All American Congresses. The cities built on the Yucatan, says Perez, were built by the ancestors of the Maya who came from Bermuda (from the now underwater Bermuda Upland). And this word at first sounded - "May". May is the Atlanteans. Initially, they lived in the Diamond City in Bermuda and from there they came to Tollan. Most main city - Diamond, in Bermuda, with a pyramid under water. Some researchers have written about some mysterious pyramidal structures at the bottom of the North Atlantic: from Caribbean to Bermuda and Azores archipelagos... They believe that the North Atlantic pyramids were part of a huge energy complex once built by the Atlanteans. This again speaks of the existence of those secondary Atlantic sacral centers in relation to the primary Hyperborean (according to Guénon).
According to the ancient Indian epic "Ramayana", the homeland of their ancestors was beyond the Arctic Circle and 18 million years ago there was a great civilization on the Oriana continent. The capital of the united empires was called Arka, and it was located just under the North Star, that is, on the site of the present Arctic. According to ancient Vedic texts, the first person was called Oriy. From here comes not only the name of the continent, but also the name of the most ancient race - the Aryans. The residence of the ruler Oriana was in the city of Arka, which lies at the foot of the huge Mount Meru. The temple of the One God towered on the mountain, where thousands of believers flocked.
And here is how the authors of the collection “Hyperborean Faith of the Rus” (1999) describe the Hyperborean capital: “The capital of Hyperborea was located directly near the point of the geographic radius of the Earth's pole. The city was called Pola (Peace) ... Pola was not a city in the modern sense of the word. It was a single system of 24 small and large castles along the shores of the inner sea of \u200b\u200bArctida - the Great Rotating Lake. The walls, planned in accordance with the magical laws, did not contrast with the surrounding nature. It was not immediately possible to notice the powerful towers covered with sparse carvings in the middle of the snow-capped rocks ... "
Lazarev tells how the expedition found the "elven stronghold" on Mount Seida. The mountain itself, a long ridge stretching from west to east, was called "Sacred" by the Kola Sami. It was here, in the southern environs of Umbozero, separating the Khibiny and Lovozero mountains, that one of the routes of the expedition "Hyperborea-99" was laid. Seid in the Sami language is first of all a sacred stone or a collectively transmitted “figure” made of stones. In the first instant, it is very difficult to identify artificial structures in the mountain range. The fortress (or castle) is formed by several rock ridges and stretches from west to east, like the whole mountain; however, these ridges are too similar to thick, tapering walls. And - an unusual detail - the outer ridge-walls of the "fortress" really have the appearance of walls: they rise two meters above the "fortress floor". But inside it, exactly the same rocky ridges seem to be leveled - horizontal platforms up to one and a half meters wide run along their top. Perhaps it was this castle that was considered a seid on Mount Seyda. Moreover, in terms of its structure, this is a real castle-temple: to its central, highest citadel, from the east, there is a solemn, wide gallery - a kind of propylaea formed by two similarly inclined walls up to two meters high that have grown into the ground. It is through this gallery that a barely noticeable path now passes - and in the North, paths are often "reproduced" from millennium to millennium. From the west, a “vestibule” adjoins the “citadel” - also surrounded by walls, but lower, and the “floor” here is located lower than in the “citadel”. Here it is appropriate to recall the words of an elf from Tolkien's book "The Lord of the Rings": "The towers of our strongholds still look at the world, but people consider them to be rocks." This once again reminds us of an esoteric thought: the earthly world is multidimensional, many sacred structures of the Great Old Ones are planned at the level of the fourth dimension and are not visible now, and at the level of the third we can consider them, since the former have their counterparts.
The root "seid" ("sid", "set"), Lazarev writes further, is very ancient, it goes back to the Paleolithic, Borean northern proto-language. Is this not where the names of those primary, antediluvian priestly schools and clans come from: Set, Seth, etc.? In Celtic myths, the sids are elves who have now gone to another, magical world through gates invisible to people in the hills and mountains. Maybe the two pillars of Seth, already described by us, are that distant memory at the junction of the Lemurian and Atlantic stories of their northern (Arctic) origins?

17.09.18For thousands of years, the minds of millions of people around the world have been occupied with the secrets of Hyperborea - a mysterious country inhabited by beautiful, strong people-gods. This country was searched for by ancient Greek scientists and philosophers - Alcaeus, Herodotus, Pliny the Elder, and then medieval scientists. They all believed that the unknown country was located where the Kola Peninsula is now located. It was not for nothing that it was called Hyperborea: hyper means over, over, Borey means the north wind. A country located beyond the northern winds, with a wonderful warm climate and natural abundance, became a supercivilization of the mighty titans, because its patron was the ancient Greek god Apollo and his sister Artemis.
Apollo came here every 19 years in a chariot drawn by swans, which Zeus gave him. The young god argued for the leadership of his territory with the god of the seas and oceans, Poseidon, who patronized Atlantis. In a decisive battle, Apollo defeated Poseidon and Atlantis sank to the bottom.
The fact that in our area it was known about the god Apollo since ancient times is evidenced by the names of two mountain peaks, located 70 kilometers from Kovdor - Payuive and Payoiva, which are translated from the Sami language as Apollo and Artemis. So, the northern peoples who appeared here millennia later knew something about Hyperborea and her divine patrons?
The myths about Hyperborea haunted people striving for world domination. Even Adolf Hitler, a lover of everything occult, little-studied and obsessed with the idea of \u200b\u200ba superman, was looking for this country on an ancient map, which he shores like the apple of his eye. Surprisingly, the borders of this mysterious country coincided with the borders where Russian soldiers in 1941 stopped the advance of German troops to the north. This happened in the area of \u200b\u200bZapadnaya Litsa and the Verman line on the Kandalaksha direction in the Alakurtti area.
The search for Hyperborea was carried out by Soviet scientists Barchenko and Demin, who conducted two series of expeditions to the Kola Peninsula and found traces of an ancient civilization. These studies have been classified for a long time.
Until now, no one has found the ancient mysterious country. But even today the Kovdor district is full of little-studied artifacts and mysteries that will invariably arouse world interest: seids and stone pyramids, petroglyphs and altars of shamans, stone labyrinths and ruins ancient city, star maps laid out of stones - these are just a small part of the found traces of ancient people on this land.
And who knows, maybe it will be us who will be able to find the key to unraveling the secrets of Hyperborea and become the discoverers of the unknown?
231 years ago, on November 14, 1788, Mikhail Lazarev, a Russian naval commander and admiral, a participant in several round-the-world voyages and other sea voyages, the discoverer and explorer of Antarctica, was born in Vladimir.
Having passed a long and difficult path from midshipman to admiral, Lazarev not only took part in the most key naval battles of the 19th century, but also did a lot to improve the coastal infrastructure of the fleet, stood at the origins of the establishment of the Admiralty and the founding of the Sevastopol Marine Library.
The life path and exploits of MP Lazarev in the historical material of the Research Institute of Military History of the Academy of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.
Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev devoted his whole life to serving the Russian fleet. He was born into the family of a nobleman, Senator Peter Gavrilovich Lazarev, who came from the nobility of the Arzamas district of the Nizhny Novgorod province, was the middle of three brothers - the future Vice-Admiral Andrei Petrovich Lazarev (born in 1787) and Rear Admiral Alexei Petrovich Lazarev (b. in 1793).
After the death of their father, in February 1800, the brothers were enrolled as ordinary cadets in the Naval Cadet Corps. In 1803, Mikhail Petrovich passed the exam for the rank of midshipman, becoming the third in academic performance out of 32 students.
E. I. Botman. Portrait of Admiral Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev. 1873 g.
In June of the same year, for further study of maritime affairs, he was assigned to the battleship "Yaroslav" operating in the Baltic Sea. And two months later, together with seven best-performing graduates, he was sent to England, where for five years he participated in voyages in the North and Mediterranean seas, in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. In 1808, Lazarev returned to his homeland and passed the exam for the rank of midshipman.
During the Russian-Swedish war of 1808-1809, Mikhail Petrovich was on the battleship "Grace", which was part of the flotilla of Vice Admiral PI Khlynov. During the hostilities near the island of Gogland, the flotilla captured a brig and five transports of the Swedes.
While evading the superior British squadron, one of the ships - the battleship Vsevolod - ran aground. On August 15 (27), 1808, Lazarev with a team on a lifeboat was sent to help. It was not possible to remove the ship from the shallows, and after a fierce boarding battle with the British, Vsevolod was burned, and Lazarev and the team were captured.
In May 1809 he returned to the Baltic Fleet. In 1811 he was promoted to lieutenant.
Mikhail Petrovich met the Patriotic War of 1812 on the 24-gun brig "Phoenix", which together with other ships defended the Gulf of Riga, participated in the bombing and landing at Danzig. Lazarev was awarded a silver medal for bravery.
After the end of the war, preparations began in the port of Kronstadt travel around the world to Russian America. The frigate "Suvorov" was chosen to participate in it, in 1813 Lieutenant Lazarev was appointed its commander. The ship belonged to the Russian-American company, which was interested in regular sea traffic between St. Petersburg and Russian America.
On October 9 (21), 1813, the ship left Kronstadt. After overcoming strong winds and thick fogs, passing the Sound, Kattegat and Skagerrak straits (between Denmark and the Scandinavian Peninsula) and avoiding collision with French and Danish ships allied to them, the frigate arrived in Portsmouth (England). After a three-month stop, the ship, passing along the coast of Africa, crossed the Atlantic and stopped in Rio de Janeiro for a month.
At the end of May 1814, "Suvorov" sailed into the Atlantic, crossed Indian Ocean and on August 14 (26) entered Port Jackson (Australia), where he received the news of the final victory over Napoleon. Continuing sailing in the Pacific Ocean, at the end of November the frigate arrived at the Novo-Arkhangelsk port, where the residence of the general manager of Russian America A. A. Baranov was located.
During the voyage, on the way to the equator, a group was discovered coral islands, to whom Lazarev gave the name "Suvorov".
After wintering, the frigate made a trip to the Aleutian Islands, where it received a large cargo of furs for delivery to Kronstadt. At the end of July 1815 "Suvorov" left Novo-Arkhangelsk. Now his path lay along the coast of the Americas, bypassing Cape Horn.
During the voyage, the frigate made a call at the Peruvian port of Callao, becoming the first Russian ship to visit Peru. Here Mikhail Petrovich successfully carried out the trade negotiations entrusted to him, having received permission for Russian sailors to trade without any additional taxes.
Having rounded Cape Horn, the ship passed through the entire Atlantic Ocean and arrived in Kronstadt on July 15 (28), 1816. In addition to a large cargo of valuable furs, Peruvian animals were delivered to Europe - nine llamas, one specimen of Vigoni and one alpaca. On the way from Kronstadt to Novo-Arkhangelsk "Suvorov" was under sail for 239 days, and on way back - 245 days.
Sailing route of MP Lazarev on the frigate "Suvorov" in 1813 - 1815.
At the beginning of 1819, Lazarev, already an experienced commander and navigator, was given command of the sloop Mirny, preparing for an expedition to the South Arctic Circle.
After two months of preparation, re-equipment of ships, sheathing of the underwater part of the hull with copper sheets, selection of a crew and provision of provisions, Mirny together with the sloop Vostok (under the general command of its commander Lieutenant Commander F. F. Bellingshausen) in July 1819 Kronstadt. Having made a stop in the capital of Brazil, the sloops headed for the island of South Georgia, nicknamed the "gateway" to Antarctica.
The voyage took place in difficult polar conditions: among icy mountains and large ice floes, with frequent storms and snowstorms, heaps of floating ice that slowed down the movement of ships.
Thanks to the excellent knowledge of maritime affairs by Lazarev and Bellingshausen, the ships never lost sight of each other.
Making their way among the icebergs to the south, the navigators on January 16 (30), 1820, reached latitude 69 ° 23´5. This was the edge of the Antarctic continent, but the sailors did not fully realize their feat - the discovery of the sixth part of the world.
Lazarev wrote in his diary:
On the sixteenth, we reached latitude 69 ° 23'5, where we encountered ice of extreme height, extending as far as sight could reach. However, we did not enjoy this amazing spectacle for long, for soon it was dark again and it began to snow as usual ... From here we continued on our way to the east, at every opportunity attempting to the south, but, not reaching 70 °, invariably ran into the icy continent.
After vain attempts to find a passage, the commanders of the ships, after consulting, decided to retreat and turned north. The crews of the sloops were in constant nervous tension, they were bothered by dampness and cold. Bellingshausen and Lazarev made every effort to ensure normal living conditions. For wintering "Vostok" and "Mirny" went to the Australian port of Jackson.

On May 8 (20), 1820, the repaired ships headed for the shores of New Zealand, where for three months they plied the waters of the poorly studied southeastern Pacific Ocean, discovering a number of islands. In September, the ships returned to Australia, and two months later headed for Antarctica again.
During the second voyage, the sailors managed to discover the island of Peter I and the coast of Alexander I, which completed them research work in Antarctica.
So Russian sailors were the first in the world to discover a new part of the world - Antarctica, refuting the opinion of the English traveler James Cook, who argued that there is no continent in the southern latitudes, and if it exists, then only near the pole, in areas inaccessible for navigation.
The ships were on the cruise for 751 days, of which 527 were under sail, and passed over 50 thousand miles. The expedition discovered 29 islands, including a group of coral islands named after the heroes of the Patriotic War of 1812 - M.I.Kutuzov, M. B. Barclay de Tolly, P. Kh. Wittgenstein, A. P. Ermolov, N. N Raevsky, M. A. Miloradovich, S. G. Volkonsky.
For a successful voyage, Lazarev, bypassing the rank of lieutenant commander, was promoted to captain of the 2nd rank.

In March 1822, MP Lazarev was appointed commander of the newly built 36-gun frigate "Cruiser".
At this time, the situation in Russian America aggravated, American industrialists were predatory exterminating valuable fur animals in our possessions. It was decided to send the cruiser frigate and the Ladoga sloop to the distant shores, commanded by his older brother Andrey. In August of the same year, the ships left the Kronstadt raid.
After stopping in Tahiti, each ship set off on its own course, the Ladoga to the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the Cruiser to the shores of Russian America. For about a year, the frigate guarded the Russian territorial waters from smugglers. In the summer of 1824 it was replaced by the sloop "Enterprise", and the "Cruiser" left Novo-Arkhangelsk. In August 1825 the frigate arrived in Kronstadt.
For the exemplary performance of the assignment, Lazarev was promoted to captain of the 1st rank and awarded the Order of Vladimir, III degree.
At the beginning of 1826, Mikhail Petrovich was appointed commander of the battleship "Azov" under construction in Arkhangelsk, at that time the most perfect ship of the Russian navy.
The commander carefully selected his crew, which included Lieutenant PS Nakhimov, Warrant Officer V.A.Kornilov and midshipman V.I.Istomin - the future leaders of the defense of Sevastopol.
His influence on subordinates was limitless, Nakhimov wrote to a friend:
It is worth listening, my dear, how everyone here treats the captain, how they love him! ... Indeed, the Russian fleet has not yet had such a captain.
Upon the arrival of the ship in Kronstadt, he entered service with the Baltic squadron. Here Mikhail Petrovich happened to serve for some time under the command of the famous Russian admiral D. N. Senyavin.
In 1827, Lazarev was appointed concurrently chief of staff of a squadron equipped for a campaign in the Mediterranean Sea. In the summer of the same year, a squadron under the command of Rear Admiral L.P. Heyden entered the Mediterranean and united with the French and British squadrons.
The command of the combined fleet was assumed by the British Vice Admiral Edward Codrington, a student of Admiral Nelson, it consisted of 27 ships (11 English, seven French and nine Russian) with 1.3 thousand guns. The Turkish-Egyptian fleet consisted of over 50 ships with 2.3 thousand guns. In addition, the enemy had coastal batteries on the island of Sfakteria and in the Navarino fortress.
On October 8 (20), 1827, the famous Navarino battle took place. The Azov was in the center of a curved battle line of four ships of the line. It was here that the Turks directed their main blow.
The battleship "Azov" had to fight simultaneously with five Turkish ships, with artillery fire it sank two large frigates and a corvette, burned the flagship under the flag of Tagir Pasha, forced the 80-gun ship of the line to run aground, then lit it and blew it up.
In addition, the ship under the command of Lazarev destroyed the flagship of Muharrem Bey.
At the end of the battle at "Azov" all masts were broken, the sides were broken, 153 holes were counted in the hull. Despite such serious damage, the ship continued to fight until the last minute of the battle.
Russian ships bore the brunt of the battle and played a major role in the defeat of the Turkish-Egyptian fleet. The enemy lost a ship of the line, 13 frigates, 17 corvettes, four brigs, five fire-ships and other ships.
For the Navarino battle, the battleship "Azov", for the first time in the Russian fleet, was awarded the highest award - the stern St. George flag.
Lazarev was promoted to rear admiral and awarded three orders at once: the Greek - the Commander's cross of the Savior, the English - Bani and the French - St. Louis.
Later, Mikhail Petrovich, being the chief of staff of the squadron, cruised in the Archipelago and participated in the blockade of the Dardanelles, cutting off the way for the Turks to Constantinople.

Since 1830, Lazarev commanded a brigade of ships of the Baltic Fleet, in 1832 he was appointed chief of staff of the Black Sea Fleet, and the next year - commander of the fleet, governor of Nikolaev and Sevastopol. Mikhail Petrovich held this post for 18 years.
Already at the beginning of 1833, Lazarev led the successful campaign of the Russian fleet and the transfer of a 10-thousandth landing of troops to the Bosphorus, as a result of which the attempt to capture Istanbul by the Egyptians was prevented. Military aid from Russia forced Sultan Mahmud II to conclude the Unkiar-Iskelesi treaty, which greatly raised the prestige of Russia.
The consolidation of Russia in the Caucasus was especially hostile to England, which sought to turn the Caucasus, with its rich natural resources, into its colony.
For these purposes, with the active support of England, a movement of groups of religious fanatics (Muridism) was organized, one of the main slogans of which was the annexation of the Caucasus to Turkey.
To disrupt the plans of the British and Turks, the Black Sea Fleet needed to blockade the Caucasian coast. To this end, Lazarev allocated a detachment, and later a squadron of the Black Sea Fleet, consisting of six armed steamers for operations off the coast of the Caucasus. In 1838, a location was chosen for the squadron to be based at the mouth of the Tsemes River, which marked the beginning of the construction of the Novorossiysk port.
In 1838-1840, from the ships of the Black Sea Fleet, with the direct participation of Lazarev, landing troops of the troops of General N.N. Raevsky (junior) were landed, which cleared the coast and mouths of the Tuapse, Subashi and Pazuape rivers from the enemy, a fort named after Lazarev was built on the bank of the latter ... The successful activities of the Black Sea Fleet prevented the implementation of the plans of conquest by the British and Turks in the Caucasus.
Lazarev was the first to organize a two-year expedition of the frigate "Skoriy" and the tender "Hurry" to describe the Black Sea, which resulted in the publication of the first pilot of the Black Sea.
Under the personal supervision of Lazarev, plans were drawn up and the area was prepared for the construction of an admiralty in Sevastopol, and docks were built. In the Hydrographic Depot, reorganized on his instructions, many maps, directions, regulations, manuals were printed and a detailed atlas of the Black Sea was published.
Under the leadership of Mikhail Petrovich, the Black Sea Fleet became the best in Russia. Major successes were achieved in shipbuilding, he personally supervised the construction of each ship.
Under Lazarev, the number of ships of the Black Sea Fleet was brought to a full standard set, and naval artillery was improved. An admiralty was built in Nikolaev, taking into account all the achievements of technology of that time, the construction of the admiralty near Novorossiysk began.
MP Lazarev was well aware that the sailing fleet was out of date and that the steam fleet should come to replace it. However, technological backwardness did not allow Russia to make such a transition at a rapid pace.
Lazarev directed all efforts so that steamers appeared in the Black Sea Fleet. He achieves this by ordering the construction of iron steam ships with all the latest improvements. Preparations were made for the construction in Nikolaev of the 131-gun screw battleship "Bosphorus" (laid down after Lazarev's death in 1852).
In 1842, Mikhail Petrovich obtained orders for the construction of five steam-frigates "Khersones", "Bessarabia", "Crimea", "Gromonosets" and "Odessa" by shipyards for the Black Sea Fleet.
In 1846, he sent his closest assistant Captain 1st Rank Kornilov to the British shipyards to directly supervise the construction of four steamships: "Vladimir", "Elbrus", "Yenikale" and "Taman". All steamers were built according to Russian projects and sketch drawings.
Lazarev paid much attention to the cultural growth of sailors. On his instructions and under his leadership, the Sevastopol Maritime Library was reorganized and a House of Meetings was built, as well as many other social and cultural institutions were organized.
The admiral paid great attention to the defensive structures of Sevastopol, increasing the number of guns that defended the city to 734 units.
The Lazarev school was harsh; it was sometimes difficult to work with the admiral. However, those sailors in whom he managed to awaken a living spark that lived in himself became true Lazarevites.
Mikhail Petrovich trained such outstanding sailors as Nakhimov, Putyatin, Kornilov, Unkovsky, Istomin and Butakov. The great merit of Lazarev is that he trained the cadres of sailors who ensured the transition of the Russian fleet from sailing to steam.
The admiral always cared little about his health. However, at the end of 1850, stomach pains increased, and on the personal instructions of Nicholas I, he was sent to Vienna for treatment. The disease was severely neglected, and local surgeons refused to operate on him. On the night of April 11 (23), 1851, at the age of 63, Lazarev died of stomach cancer.
His ashes were transported to Russia and interred in Sevastopol in the Vladimir Cathedral. In the basement of this cathedral, in the form of a cross, with their heads to the center of the cross, are buried M. P. Lazarev, P. S. Nakhimov, V. A. Kornilov and V. I. Istomin.
Burial place of Admiral M. P. Lazarev in the Vladimir Cathedral, Sevastopol.
In 1867, in this city, then still lying in ruins after the Crimean War of 1853-1856, the grand opening of the monument to M.P. Lazarev took place. At the opening, Rear Admiral of the Svita I. A. Shestakov made a brilliant speech, in which he vividly outlined the merits of the famous admiral in creating the Russian fleet and educating the high qualities of Russian sailors.
The geographical discoveries made by MP Lazarev are of world-historical significance. They are included in the golden fund of Russian science. Mikhail Petrovich was elected an honorary member of the Geographical Society.
The St. Petersburg Maritime Assembly in memory of the remarkable Russian admiral M.P. Lazarev in 1995 established a silver medal, which is awarded to workers of the sea, river and fishing fleets, educational institutions, research institutes and other naval organizations that have made a great contribution to the cause. development of the fleet, who made significant voyages, as well as taking a significant part in the creation of equipment for the fleet and previously awarded the gold breastplate of the Naval Assembly.
The Russian people cherish the memory of the outstanding Russian admiral with love, deservedly placing him among the best naval commanders of our Motherland.

Hyperborea.Along with the legends about Atlantis, the legend of Hyperborea lives in ancient history - a country in which a sacred people with superpowers lived. This fantastic country, according to the descriptions of ancient authors, was located in relation to the Mediterranean somewhere far to the north.
For us, it is Hyperborea, the mythical ancestral home of the Aryans, that is of great interest, since it was there, in the northern ancestral home, that our civilization was born. From there, from the fantastic cities of Falias, Phinias, Murias and Gorias, Tuatta de Danaan came. And it was from there, according to legend, that Merlin moved Stonehenge. Nostradamus in his "Centuries" called the Russians nothing but "the Hyperborean people."
Since the time of ancient Greek mythology and the tradition inheriting it, Hyperborea has been a legendary northern country, the habitat of the blessed people of the Hyperboreans.
The name literally means “beyond Boreus”, “beyond the north”.
Outlining the legend, Plutarch (1st century AD) writes that once, in time immemorial, the harmony of the golden age was broken by a power struggle between Zeus and his father Cronus, who was supported by the Titans. After the victory of Zeus, the titans, led by Cronus, went somewhere to the north and settled beyond the Cronian Sea on a large blooming island, where "the softness of the air was amazing."
The birthplace of Apollo's mother the Titanides Leto was also Hyperborea, to which he traveled in a chariot drawn by white swans.
The Greeks called the cold north wind Boreas, in contrast to Note - a moist wind from the South and Zephyr - a gentle wind from the West. All of them, according to mythology, were considered siblings, born of the father of the stars - Astrea and his wife, the goddess of the morning dawn - Eos. The Orphic hymn is dedicated to Boreus:
"Moving the air mass of the world with his breath,
O chilling Boreas, come from snowy Thrace,
Break the stillness of the wet sky!
Blowing on the clouds, scatter and scatter the rainbirds away,
With clear weather, giving, so that the joyful gaze of the ether
The sun's rays shone on the ground, and shining and warming! "
("Ancient Hymns")
For the Romans, the north wind is Aquilon. And in Pliny's Natural History, Hyperborea sounds not only in Greek, but also as "the land on the other side of Aquilon."
It was here, as Aeschylus writes: “at the end of the earth”, “in the deserted wilderness of the wild Scythians” - by order of Zeus, the recalcitrant Prometheus was chained to a rock: despite the prohibition of the Gods, he gave people fire, revealed the secret of the movement of stars and luminaries, taught the art of addition letters, farming and sailing. But the land where Prometheus, tormented by the eagle, languished, until Heracles (who received the epithet of Hyperborean for this) liberated him, was not always so deserted and homeless. Everything looked different when a little earlier here, on the edge of Oikumena, the famous hero of antiquity - Perseus came to the Hyperboreans to fight the Gorgon Medusa and get magic winged sandals here, for which he was also nicknamed Hyperborean.
Ancient maps are well known, where the name of the legendary country is written in Latin in the northeastern part of Europe.
Pliny asserts that the Hyperboreans live behind the Ripean mountains (they were placed by different authors in different places of the ecumene: from the Alpine peaks to the Ural ridge). “Beyond these [Ripaean] mountains, on the other side of Aquilon, a happy people (if one can believe this), which are called Hyperboreans, reaches a very advanced age and is glorified by wonderful legends. They believe that there are the loops of the world and the extreme limits of the circulation of the luminaries. The sun shines there for six months, and this is only one day when the sun does not hide (as the uninformed would think) from the spring equinox to the autumn, the luminaries there rise only once a year at the summer solstice, and set only at the winter. This country is all in the sun, with a favorable climate and devoid of any harmful wind. Homes for these residents are groves, forests; the cult of the Gods is managed by individuals and by the whole society; there is no discord or disease. Death comes there only from satiety with life. ". ... ... "One cannot doubt the existence of this people."
For the ancient Greeks, the Hyperboreans were not a mythological people, but quite specific people with whom they had live connections and contacts. The Hyperboreans, along with the Ethiopians, Phaeacs, and lotophagi, were among the peoples close to the gods and loved by them. Just like their patron Apollo, the Hyperboreans were considered artistically gifted.
The priest of Apollo, sorcerer and magician Abaris was widely known. It is mentioned by many ancient authors, including the writings of Plutarch, Porfiry and Iamblichus. Abaris is credited with literature of religious and magical content. Being divinely inspired, he gave oracles and divinations. They write that Abaris "all the time carried an arrow in his hand as a symbol of Apollo and went around with his divinations all over Greece." According to Diodorus, "the Hyperborean Abaris came to Hellas to renew the old friendship and kinship with the Delians." Abaris and Aristeus, who taught the Greeks, are considered as the hypostasis of Apollo, since they owned the ancient fetishistic symbols of God (the arrow, raven and laurel of Apollo with their miraculous power), and also taught and endowed people with new cultural values \u200b\u200b(music, philosophy, the art of creating poems , hymns, construction of the Delphic Temple).
Modern historians disagree about the location of Hyperborea. Various authors localize Hyperborea in Greenland, not far from the Ural Mountains, on the Kola Peninsula, in Karelia, on the Taimyr Peninsula; it was suggested that Hyperborea was located on the now sunken island (or mainland) of the Arctic Ocean.
A large group of historians believe that the legendary country was located in the northern part of European Russia and Europe. The second part of scientists places Hyperborea on the territory of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia in the so-called Khakass-Minusinsk Basin. According to the conviction of the third, the most ancient paleo-continent was once located in the Arctic. It was from there, from the Far North, that the original people who founded the pro-religions came out.
The latter assumption is confirmed by the famous map of Gerardus Mercator, 1554, where the Arctic is clearly visible in the form of land, as Hyperborea is described in the legends - a country surrounded by a ring of mountains, in the center of which there is a sacred mountain.
There is also a version that the Hyperboreans lived on the Solovetsky Islands, where, according to legend, they still live in an underground city. In the pre-war time, 30s, in fact big island In the archipelago, Soviet expeditions found a labyrinth of stones, in the center of which there was a passage to a system of underground tunnels. Many explanations have been proposed regarding the purpose of the Solovetsky stone spirals: burial grounds, altars, models of fishing traps. The paths of the labyrinth, forcing the traveler to look for a way out for a long time and in vain and, finally, still leading him out, were seen as a symbol of the sun's wandering during the polar half-year night and half-year day in circles, or rather along a large spiral projected onto the firmament. In the cult labyrinths, processions were probably arranged to symbolically depict the wandering of the sun. The Russian northern labyrinths not only served to walk inside them, but also acted as a reminder scheme for conducting magical round dances.
The Kola Peninsula is also considered as a possible localization of Hyperborea, as evidenced by the ancient pyramids found there.
The search for Hyperborea is akin to the search for the lost Atlantis, with the only difference that a part of the land remained from the sunken Hyperborea - this is the north of today's Russia. However, unclear interpretations (this is my own personal opinion) allow us to say that Atlantis and Hyperborea could be generally the same continent.
In the north of Russia, numerous geological parties have repeatedly encountered traces of the activities of the ancients, however, none of them purposefully set out to search for the Hyperboreans.
However, wherever Hyperborea is located, its spirit, its call is heard in the creations of Indo-Europeans from Scandinavia to Hindustan. The legendary northern ancestral home echoes its harsh spirit in Slavic and Scandinavian mythologies, distinguishing them from the "Atlantic" mythologies of the Egyptians and Greeks.
These are all myths, stories and legends. But what do we know now about this amazing homeland of the Slavic people? It turns out there are quite a few communities that are looking for Hyperborea and proving its existence.
Let's get started. ;-)
In August 1845, the Russian Geographical Society was established in St. Petersburg, the main task of which was proclaimed "the collection and dissemination of reliable geographic information." One of the subtasks of the Russian Geographical Society was the search for the Northern Lands.
20th century
In 1986, ethnologist Svetlana Vasilievna Zharnikova, in her article "On the question of the possible localization of the Sacred Mountains Meru and Khara of Indo-Iranian (Aryan) mythology", published in the "Information Bulletin of the International Association for the Study of the Cultures of Central Asia, UNESCO", pointed to the localization of Hyperborea , having determined the location of the Hyperborean Mountains of ancient authors in the area bounded by the Ural Mountains, the Timan Ridge, the Northern Uvals, the heights of the Vologda region, the heights of the modern Leningrad region and the mountains of Karelia:
From the late 90s of the XX century, Hyperborean expeditions began, as a result of which a large number of ancient sanctuaries were discovered, located in the North-West of Russia - from the Kola Peninsula to the Urals. They were conducted by several research groups at once, the main ones of which were:
since 1997 - expedition "Hyperborea" under the leadership of Doctor of Philosophy Valery Nikitich Demin;
since 2000 - Northern Search Expedition of the Scientific Tourism Commission of the Russian Geographical Society;
since 2005 - a specialized scientific expedition of the International Club of Scientists;
as well as individual researchers.
21 century
In the summer of 2000, on the Kola Peninsula, in the Khibiny, the Complex Northern Search Expedition of the Scientific Tourism Commission of the Russian Geographical Society discovered traces of structures of an ancient Northern civilization that had a matriarchal cult.
In 2000, in the highest place of the Kola Peninsula - on Mount Yudichvumchorr, the same expedition found a phallic megalith - the prototype of the Delphic Omphale.
Since March 2002, annual scientific conferences on Hyperborea began to be held, at which scientists on a regular basis began to exchange the scientific knowledge obtained by them, both in theoretical and practical aspects of their research. The need to unite scientists engaged in research on Hyperborean topics was caused by the fact that the evidence obtained at the end of the 20th century, testifying to the existence of a highly developed northern civilization long before the birth of Christ, which possessed the deepest knowledge about the Universe and Man, made it obvious that the historical paradigm existing in science was inadequate. ...
In the summer of 2002, on the Kuzovsky archipelago of the White Sea, the Complex Northern Search Expedition of the Scientific Tourism Commission of the Russian Geographical Society discovered, raised and installed the majestic stone Throne in its former place. This action began an active Hyperborean study of this place in the Russian North.
On March 19, 2004, scientists who took an active part in the practical and theoretical study of the Hyperborean theme came to the conclusion that on this date the territorial location in the Russian North of one of the most ancient civilizations on earth, which the ancient Hellenes called Hyperborea, was finally established. The word combination “Rus Hyperborean” was included in science on a full-fledged basis.
December 16, 2004 Hyperborean researchers A.P. Smirnov and I.V. Prokhortsev proposed a physical model of the Principle of Order. She gave a key to understanding the Hyperborean sacred geography, symbolism and planning of the temples of Hyperborea, establishing the location of the Hellenic Elysium (Champs Elysees), the ancient Egyptian northern Duat n Ba.
In 2005, researchers from the International Club of Scientists, summarizing the results of scientific expeditions to the North of Russia known to them at that time, taking into account the idea expressed by Jean Sylvain Bailly about the northern origin of the ancient Egyptian myth about the dying and resurrecting god Osiris, according to Plutarch, who was the rational beginning of existence for the Egyptians in the sky and the underworld, made the observation that large complexes-sanctuaries in Hyperborean places in the North of modern Russia in ancient times were located by their builders in strict accordance with the position of the stars in the constellation "Orion". Additional expeditions carried out to test the scientific hypothesis about the commonality of the Hyperborean (Old Russian) and Ancient Egyptian cultures have fully confirmed the validity of this assumption. Thanks to this, a new page was opened in the study of Hyperborea. Hyperborea was materialized from the Hellenic myth into a completely accessible scientific and historical reality, which later allowed Russian scientists to make a number of new discoveries.
By the end of 2005, the International Club of Scientists completed the development of a method for searching for ancient Hyperborean sanctuaries using projections of celestial constellations to the Earth, which significantly accelerated the search and discovery of their location.
In the fall of 2005, the location of the Black Sun of Hyperborea was localized.
Since 2005, scientists have begun to hold summer, since 2006 - winter scientific and cultural festivals YAGRA, and since 2007 - the Holidays of Light, which are a reminiscence of the ancient Hyperborean Holidays of reverence for the Supreme Universal Law, according to which Nature exists, and according to which, in order to be happy, people must live.
In 2006, research carried out in Hyperborea made it possible for Russian scientists to find the location of the ancient Russian ... Paradise. Yes Yes!
In 2006, ancient inscriptions carved on stones in the ancient Greek language were discovered in the White Sea sanctuaries of Hyperborea.
In 2006, researcher A.Yu. Chizhov discovered stone pyramids in the northwestern skerries of Lake Ladoga, the location of which exactly corresponded to the star Gamma Big Dog.
In 2006 towards the natural science basis of the matriarchal concept besides data ancient mythology and female figurines of Goddesses found by archaeologists in different places of the world in the most ancient excavations in time, evidence of the arrangement of Hyperborean sanctuaries in accordance with the matriarchal views of their ancient builders was added to ethnology.
Since 2007, EI tours have been held, which provide lovers of ancient history with a unique opportunity - to personally participate in natural Hyperborean studies.
On August 17, 2007, on one of the island megaliths in the Kemsky skerries of the White Sea, an expedition of the International Club of Scientists discovered and read an inscription made in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. This was the name USIR (Osiris). After this, ideas about the development of human civilization from ancient times have changed dramatically.
The most important discovery of 2007 was the discovery on one of the White Sea islands of a very ancient city, presumably antediluvian. The scholars who found it suggest that this city is the very ancient Northern Heliopolis, which was reported to the scientific community by W.F. Warren and R. Guénon. It was possible to understand and explain the peculiarities of the connection between Hellas, Crete, Ancient Egypt and Hyperborea.
In 2008, it was decided to hold the scientific and cultural festival "YagRA" in four seasons: in winter (at the winter solstice), in the spring (at the spring equinox), in the summer (at the summer solstice) and in the fall (at the autumn equinox), that is, in strict in accordance with its most ancient holiday canons.
In the summer of 2008, researchers from St. Petersburg Olga Khromova and Alexei Garagashyan managed to establish the site where one of the greatest Hyperborean sanctuaries was once located, which was dedicated to "Beta Orion" - the star "Rigel". This place is Kozhozero in the Arkhangelsk region.
In 2008, it was established that the oldest megalithic complexes discovered on the islands of the White Sea contain symbols, hieroglyphic words and complete phrases known from Ancient Egypt, relating to the cults of the ancient Egyptian Gods Osiris and Thoth.
It has been established that the overwhelming majority of already deciphered "stone texts" in the White Sea megalithic complexes contain information of fundamental physical content. This is a kind of message from the ancients about the structure of the world. In an extremely brief summary, the main wisdom of the Hyperborean priests, which they conveyed in their messages, can be expressed in words like this:
Live by Nature, in accordance with her, and not by any other institution. The Primordial Natural Law is God, Truth and the basis of the Highest Justice. There is no Truth above his Order.
In the fall of 2008, the Northern Search Expedition of the Russian Geographical Society discovered on the islands in the water area of \u200b\u200bBelomorsk the remains of ancient megalithic objects, geographically corresponding to the terrestrial projections of the famous "Sword of Orion" - an asterism, which includes two stars of the constellation "Orion" and "I" and the Great Orion Nebula ( M42).
Since 2009, all Internet users participating in the Hyperborean expeditions and EI-tours of the International Club of Scientists have the opportunity to constantly be in the thick of events taking place in the circle of scientists involved in the science and technology of the Hyperborean civilization. This became possible thanks to live video reports from scientific conferences dedicated to Hyperborea, held monthly by the International Club of Scientists.
In 2009, after many years of observations of the Sun during the spring and autumn equinoxes at the megalithic observatories of the Kola Peninsula, the famous explorer of the Russian North, Lidia Ivanovna Efimova, obtained data indicating that these megalithic structures had another important purpose - to record a very specific moment time in history.
In 2009, an expedition of the International Club of Scientists in the north of Russia established a place that, in ancient times, may have served as a prototype plan for the sacred complex of pyramids at the mouth of the Nile. There is good scientific reason to believe that it was his “Texts of the Builders of Edfu” that was called the “Place of the First Time.” In 2009, to the previously discovered northern “pro-Egyptian” pyramids of the Kola Peninsula, the pyramids of Lake Ladoga and the remaining so mysteriously mysterious because of its inaccessibility The great pyramid Ural (as the researchers of Hyperborea call it), the ancient pyramids of the White Sea were added.

In 2009, the terrestrial projection of Mu-Orion ceased to be a secret. This happened after the individual researcher Igor Gusev described in detail the complex of megalithic objects he discovered with the characteristic Hyperborean symbols preserved on its stones, located west of the Orion-style majestically stretched out on the banks of the beautiful Imandra of the modern city of Monchegorsk - that is, in the very place where in Hyperborean and should be located terrestrial Mu-Orion.
In 2009, researchers from the International Club of Scientists in northwestern Russia completed the identification of objects from the oldest megalithic complex, located in exact accordance with the projection of the main stars of the constellation Orion onto the earth. All objects of this megalithic complex, as established, were built under one general idea.
In 2009, in the majestic White Sea Hyperborean complex, called by its discoverers the northern Duat-n-Ba, a large stone image of a head was found, with the signature below (made in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs) - the Greatest Lord of Eternity. As you know, this is how the priests called Osiris in ancient times!
Since 2009, the study of the Hyperborean past of the Kanin Peninsula began.
In autumn 2009, an expedition of the International Club of Scientists in the White Sea region discovered, apparently, the most grandiose in size man-made monument to the famous mantra "AUM", which is immortalized by several dozen (!) Man-made megalithic meters.
In 2010, having deciphered some of the ancient stone texts found on the islands of the White Sea, researchers from the International Club of Scientists established what the Hyperboreans themselves called themselves. After all, the name - Hyperboreans - was given to the mysterious northern people by the Hellenes only because they believed that this blessed people lived behind the northern wind Boreas. The vocalization of the most ancient name of the Hyperboreans is conveyed by the lexeme RSH or RS.
In the winter of 2010, an expedition led by the famous Hyperborean explorer Lydia Ivanovna Efimova discovered on the Kola Peninsula the location of an underground city of an ancient highly developed civilization. This "hidden", "inaccessible", "obscured" place, about which information was contained in the myths of most of the northern peoples of the world, from that moment on ceased to be such.
In the summer of 2010, in the Kemsky skerries of the White Sea, an expedition of the International Club of Scientists made the most important find, which made it possible to determine how the Hyperboreans (as the ancient Greeks called them) and the Aryans were historically related.
In the summer of 2010, on the Kola Peninsula, the explorer Igor Gusev identified an ancient stepped pyramid made of stones. Its approximate height is 80 meters.
In the summer of 2010, 2 previously unknown stone pyramids were found on the islands of the White Sea (the discovery was made by an expedition of the International Club of Scientists).
In the summer of 2010, it was established that the oldest megalithic complexes on the islands of the White Sea contain hieroglyphic texts known from Ancient Egypt related to the cult of the ancient Egyptian God Ptah.
In the summer of 2010, an expedition of the International Club of Scientists on one of the White Sea islands, which has a pronounced spherical shape, found a large stone image of a falcon flying with outstretched wings. This is how it was portrayed in Ancient Egypt The earliest known hypostasis of the God Horus is Horus the Great, and the sages of Hellas derived its Hellenic semantic equivalent under the name Apollo, to whom in Hyperborea, according to the Hellenic historian Diodorus of Siculus, a remarkable spherical temple decorated with many offerings was dedicated.
In the summer of 2010, an expedition of the International Club of Scientists in the White Sea region found a large stone statue of the Sphinx and the Great Northern Pyramid located in close proximity to it.
In the summer of 2011, on the islands of the White Sea, an ISU expedition found, possibly, the oldest runic signs carved on stones. Hyperborean runes (so far scientists have named the signs they found so) were identified as a variant of writing with the help of the currently known signs corresponding to the ancient Germanic runes of the Elder Futhark.
Megalithic and linguistic discoveries in the Hyperborean regions of Russia, and a new analysis of the Vedic, Avestan, ancient Sumerian, Akkadian, Egyptian, Cretan, Greek, Etruscan and North Russian texts, myths and fairy tales allowed the Russian ethnologist Svetlana Vasilyevna Zharnikova to explain in 2011 the most sacred the most ancient images of the Great Mother - the image of the Mother-in-law.
In 2011, the megalithic attributes of the "spiritual companion" of Osiris were discovered on the White Sea islands, the image of which was used by the "Lord of Truth RA", the "creator of beauty" of the first of the now known classical Egyptian pyramids (her "sister" was presumably found in the Polar Urals) - the ancient Egyptian king of the IV dynasty Sneferu. According to Egyptologists, this character in ancient times was responsible for the birth of a person in the afterlife, was the embodiment of sovereignty, and his main symbol, Jed, meant STABILITY. His name is Anejti.
In 2011, a megalithic complex was found on an island in the White Sea with a remarkable man-made stone symbol located on a multi-meter slab in the very center. Its comparison with the symbol of the Supreme God 1 Deer, which, according to the Mayan Scroll of Selden, passed on to Quetzalcoatl as a symbol of the Supreme Power, suggested that perhaps an ancient temple complex was found, dedicated to a symbol extremely important for the ancient priests of Hyperborea and the Maya.
In 2011, on the coast of an island in the White Sea, a multi-meter stone boat was found, almost identical to the image of the Boat of Dionysus on the Exekia bowl, dating from 530 BC.
Research and discovery in Hyperborea continues.
