Curious information about ancient settlements that existed in Siberia and Altai even before the mass arrival of Russian people here has for some reason been deprived of the attention of historians, archaeologists and other specialists. Is Siberia an ahistorical land?
The assessment of Siberia as a “non-historical land” was first given by one of the creators of the notorious “Norman theory,” a German in Russian service, Gerard Miller. In “History of Siberia” and “Description of the Kuznetsk district of the Tobolsk province in Siberia in its current state, in September 1734.” he only briefly mentions the cities that existed in this territory before the arrival of the Russian people. For example, he notes that in the Malyshevskaya Sloboda (which for almost two centuries belonged to the Altai mining factories, now in the Novosibirsk region), “at the mouth of the Nizhnyaya Suzunka river, 8 versts above the settlement, and near the village of Kulikova, 12 versts above the previous one places on the Ob - you can still see traces of old cities that were built here by the former inhabitants of these places, probably the Kyrgyz. They consist of earthen ramparts and deep ditches with holes dug here and there, over which houses seem to have stood.”
Elsewhere, the first historian of Siberia clarifies that “immediately before the Russian conquest of these places... they were owned by the Kyrgyz, a pagan Tatar nation... Here and there traces of old cities and fortifications in which these peoples were located are still found.”
This approach, when the existence of ancient cities on the territory of Siberia is not denied, but is not particularly of interest to researchers, has persisted to this day. The overwhelming majority of Russian historians still share the assessment given by the “father of the history of Siberia” Gerard Miller as an unhistorical land, and in this regard, they stubbornly do not notice the cities that stood here for hundreds, but whatever! - thousands of years before the appearance of Ermak. Archaeologists, with a few exceptions, have hardly excavated the remains of Russian forts, cities and settlements, although there is a lot of information about these signs of the highest civilization of the peoples who once lived here.
Registration of Siberian cities began in pre-Ermak times. In 1552, Ivan the Terrible ordered the drawing up of the “Big Drawing” of the Russian land. Soon such a map was created, but during the Time of Troubles it disappeared, but the description of the lands was preserved. In 1627, in the Discharge Order, clerks Likhachev and Danilov completed the “Book of the Big Drawing,” in which about a hundred cities are mentioned in the north-west of Siberia alone.
Yes, indeed, when the Cossacks came to Siberia at the beginning of the 17th century, they no longer found large cities. But small fortresses, called towns, they encountered in abundance. Thus, according to the Ambassadorial Order, in the Ob region alone at the end of the 17th century, 94 cities were levied with fur tribute.
On the foundation of the past
In 1940-1941 and 1945-1946, employees of the Abakan Museum under the leadership of L. Evtyukhova excavated the ruins of a palace built around 98 BC, which existed for about a century and was abandoned by people at the turn of the old and new eras. The majestic structure is believed to have belonged to the Chinese general Li Liying. He was the governor of the western Xiongnu lands in the Minusinsk Basin. The palace, which received the name Tashebinsky in literature, was located in the center of a large city with an area of ten hectares. The building itself had 20 rooms, was 45 meters long and 35 meters wide. The building is also characterized by a tiled roof, the total weight of which was about five tons. Surprisingly, two thousand years ago builders managed to create rafters that could withstand such weight.
News about Siberian cities in ancient times came from Arab travelers. Thus, at the turn of the 8th-9th centuries, the Arab Tamim ibn al-Muttavai, traveling from the city of Taraz on the Talas River to the capital city of the Uighurs, Ordu-bylyk on the Orkhon River, reported about the capital of the Kimak king on the Irtysh. 40 days after leaving Taraz, he arrived at the large fortified city of the king, surrounded by cultivated land with villages. The city has 12 huge iron gates, many inhabitants, crowded conditions, lively trade in numerous bazaars.
Al-Muttawai saw a destroyed city in the southwestern Altai, near Lake Zaysan, but could not establish from questioning who built it and when and by whom and when it was destroyed. The richest ore region discovered by Russian ore miners in the Altai Mountains at the beginning of the 18th century, which is now called Rudny Altai, was in fact discovered many centuries before them. The ore miners only rediscovered it. A sure sign of a search was the developments hastily abandoned by ancient people. Who they are is not known for certain to this day; specialists, along with publicists, call them miracles.
Legends about the riches of the Altai Mountains were known even in Ancient Greece. The father of history, Herodotus, wrote about the Arimaspians and the “vultures guarding the gold.”
According to famous scientists Alexander Humboldt, Pyotr Chikhachev and Sergei Rudenko, by Arimaspi and vultures (influenza), Herodotus meant the population of Rudny Altai. In addition, Humboldt and Chikhachev believed that it was the Altai and Ural gold ore deposits that were the main sources of supplying the European Scythians and Greek ancient colonies with gold.
In the Altai Mountains in the first millennium BC there was a rich and vibrant culture, which was discovered by Sergei Rudenko in 1929-1947 during excavations of the Pazyryk mounds. He believes that civilization disappeared in a short time, perhaps as a result of an epidemic, enemy invasion or famine. However, when the Russians found themselves in the south of Siberia, they discovered that the natives, in this case the Shors, were excellent at metal processing. No wonder the first city, founded here in 1618, was built on the site of their town and named Kuznetsk. This is evidenced by the reply submitted to the Siberian order by the Kuznetsk governor Gvintovkin.
Where settlements of ancient people were previously located, Tyumen, Tomsk, Omsk, Semipalatinsk, Barnaul and many other Siberian cities were also built.
For example, it is reliably known that in the area of the Oktyabrskaya metro station in modern Novosibirsk there was a large fortress of the local tribe Tsattyrt (in Russian - Chaty). On June 22, 1589, the 16-year war between the Moscow State and Khan Kuchum ended. Voivode Voeikov gave him a fight on the site of the current Novosibirsk hydroelectric power station. Khan Kuchum hid for some time in the fortress from pursuit, but then decided to leave, parting forever with his Siberian Khanate. Its ruins survived until the arrival of bridge builders. And in 1912, they were described by Nikolai Litvinov, the compiler of the very first directory of Novonikolaevsk. By the way, Nikolai Pavlovich headed the Rubtsovsky district health department in 1924-1926.
However, experts, as if spellbound, continuing to repeat about the “rich history of Siberia,” are reluctant to look into the depths of centuries. It’s as if they are dealing with the legendary city of Kitezh, submerged in a lake...
Russian aborigines
In 1999, an ancient city was discovered, located in the Zdvinsky district of the Novosibirsk region (until 1917 it was the territory of Altai), on the shore of Lake Chicha. The age of the settlement turned out to be sensationally great - the 8th-7th centuries BC, that is, in much earlier times than the appearance of the first cities of the Hunnic era in Siberia has been dated so far. This confirmed the hypothesis that the Siberian civilization is much older than imagined. Judging by the excavations carried out and the fragments of household utensils found, people of almost European appearance lived here. It is possible that Chichaburg was a place where the paths of various peoples crossed, the center of Ancient Siberia.
The first mention of a trade expedition along the Ob River by Russian merchants was noted in 1139. Then the Novgorodian Andriy went to its mouth and brought from there a large load of furs.
It is interesting for us that he discovered a Russian settlement at the mouth of the Ob River, in which there was a trade, where, as it turned out, Russian merchants had long been exchanging their goods for excellent Siberian furs. There is scant information, published, in particular, in Leonid Kyzlasov’s book “Ancient Cities of Siberia”, that Russian merchants in the 12th – early 13th centuries traded with the cities of the Kyrgyz Kaganate. Surprisingly, the perfectly preserved mummies of a woman and a man, discovered in the mid-1990s on the Altai high mountain plateau Ukok, did not belong to the Mongoloid race, but to the Caucasoid race. And the jewelry and elegant products of the Scythian, or “animal” style, dug by the mound workers in the ancient mounds of Altai, also testify to the high culture of the ancient peoples who lived here, their close ties with the world, in particular with Western Asia.
Not far from the borders of the Altai Territory and Kazakhstan, archaeologists discovered large settlements of the Bronze Age, which they called not entirely successfully - proto-cities or settlements claiming the status of cities. These are unfenced formations occupying unusually large areas - from five to thirty hectares. For example, Kent occupies 30 hectares, Buguly I – eleven, Myrzhik – three hectares. Around the settlement of Kent, within a radius of five kilometers, there were the villages of Bayshura, Akim-bek, Domalaktas, Naiza, Narbas, Kzyltas and others.
Descriptions of both flourishing and destroyed ancient Siberian cities before Ermak can be found in such authors as Tahir Marvazi, Salam at-Tarjuman, Ibn Khordadbeh, Chan Chun, Marco Polo, Rashid ad-Din, Snorri Sturlusson, Abul-Ghazi, Sigismund Herberstein , Milescu Spafarii, Nikolai Witsen. The following names of the disappeared Siberian cities have reached us: Inanch (Inanj), Kary-Sairam, Karakorum (Sarkuni), Alafkhin (Alakchin), Kemijket, Khakan Khirkhir, Darand Khirkhir, Nashran Khirkhir, Ordubalyk, Kamkamchut, Apruchir, Chinhai, Kyan, Ilay , Arsa, Sahadrug, Ika, Kikas, Kambalyk, Grustina, Serpenov (Serponov), Kanunion, Kossin, Terom and others.
Even official historiography has preserved information about ancient settlements that existed in Siberia and Altai even before Ermak. But for some reason this data has been deprived of the attention of historians, archaeologists and other specialists. Everyone should consider that Siberia is not a historical land...
The assessment of Siberia as a “non-historical land” was first given by one of the creators of the notorious “Norman theory,” a German in Russian service, Gerard Miller. In “History of Siberia” and “Description of the Kuznetsk district of the Tobolsk province in Siberia in its current state, in September 1734.” he only briefly mentions the cities that existed in this territory before the arrival of the Russian people.

Yes, indeed, when the Cossacks came to Siberia at the beginning of the 17th century...
(continuation of the article is available by subscription)
China was not an independent state at the beginning of the 18th century. It was part of Tartary, like Siberia and some other Asian territories. About this in the article “Tartar Emperors of China”. And a series of articles “Unknown Tartary”, telling about the earlier period of Tartary.
Perhaps these fortifications were built precisely in the 18th century, but is it possible that ancient structures already located in this area were reconstructed and adapted for military purposes? Ablaikit monastery or fortress, located near the Bukhtarma fortress:
View of the ruins of Ablaikid The Ablaikit fortress, founded according to the official version in 1654 by the Oirat leader Ablai, was located 85 kilometers from the Ust-Kamenogorsk fortress, but, nevertheless, was not part of the fortified line, since it belonged to the Dzungars. There was such a state in the 17th century - the Dzungar Khanate.
“The Dzungar Khanate-Oirat-Mongol state, which existed in the 17th-18th centuries on the territory that now belongs to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Russia, Mongolia and occupied lands from Tibet and China in the south, to Siberia in the north, from the Urals and Khiva, as well as Bukhara Khanates in the west to Khalkha-Mongolia in the east, including Lake Balkhash, Semirechye, Lake Kukunor, the Tien Shan Mountains, Altai, the Ili River Valley, the upper reaches of the Ob, Irtysh and Yenisei, etc. Until now, The ruins of Oirat (Zungar, Kalmyk) Buddhist monasteries and fortresses (Semipalatinsk, Zaisan), rock carvings of Buddha (near Alma-Ata, near Issyk-Kul), etc. have been preserved in this territory.” Collection of historical and ethnographic works of N. Ya. Bichurin
It existed, however, on the territory. And in the sources of that time, in particular in the book of Nicolaas Witsen “Northern and Eastern Tartary”, it is not mentioned in any way. The Kalmyks, or Kalmaks, as they were called in the 17th century, are called Oirats here. I described them in detail in the article “Who are the Kalmaks? " Ablaikit has survived to this day in this form:
Ablaykit. Current state Not far from this place downstream of the Irtysh there were the ruins of the Seven Chambers:
View of the ruins of the seven chambers on the banks of the Irtysh “The so-called “Seven Chambers” lie on the eastern bank of the Irtysh... The Kalmyks call them Darkhan-Zorjin-Kit, saying that these buildings were built by a certain priest Darkhan-Zordzhi, who resided in them. They don't know when it was. In Tyumen, I found in the archives a letter from Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich dated October 25 7125 (1616) years, in which these buildings are mentioned under the name of “stone mosques”. Perhaps they belong to this time. Judging by the material from which they are made, they can hardly be older. I would not have given them even such antiquity if the mentioned charter had not spoken in its favor.” G. F. Miller “History of Siberia”
Another description of these buildings by the traveler doctor Bardanes, who visited Semipalatinsk in 1771:
“The ruins of seven stone Tatar or Mongolian houses, called Semipalat and which gave the fortress its name, stand 2 versts above the fortress, on the mountain shore opposite the barter’s courtyard. One of these houses is quadrangular, 6 fathoms (12.8 m) wide, the walls are 10 (3 m) high, and 5 feet (1.5 m) thick, it has one door and two windows. One wall has collapsed a lot, but the rest are all intact and built of hard gray brick with strong mortar. Another structure is similar to the first and is 4 fathoms wide. The third is 8 fathoms from the second, 7 fathoms long and 4 fathoms wide. The walls are built of black tiles, 1.5 fathoms (3.2m) high and 3 feet (1m) thick. From the fourth building there is only a brick wall with a door and a window. From the fifth, only the foundation is visible, proving that the structure was 5½ fathoms long and 2½ fathoms wide with 3 compartments; also from the sixth only the foundation remained, 15 fathoms long and 34 fathoms wide; everyone is nearby. The seventh building stands 242 fathoms, or half a mile, from the others. It is much newer, 3 fathoms long and wide, and 7 feet high; The walls are made of new and weak bricks, the roof is plank and rotted and collapsed. For a few years they were in better condition, but after that the Cossacks took bricks from them for their furnaces. There were Tangut inscriptions on them, which were also erased. I leave the history of these ruins to the experts of antiquity.” (Source: Complete collection of scientific travels around Russia, published by the Imperial Academy of Sciences, at the suggestion of its president.. - St. Petersburg: Imperial Academy of Sciences, 1825. - Volume seven.)
This description, indeed, is more suitable for describing ordinary residential buildings, rather than mosques. Unless earlier residential buildings were also called mosques, by analogy with temples - mansions? For some, it was once just a residential building, which later became a place of worship for others. The thickness of the walls is impressive. But in those days it was customary to build thick walls. This enhances both the strength of the building and the comfort of staying inside it. And the black flagstone – probably like this?
Flagstone – black slate, Kazakhstan The dimensions only amaze him: 3.2x1m. And how much did these tiles weigh? Tangut manuscripts were also found in Ablaikit. The Tangut Kingdom is the Great State of the White and Tall, according to the official version. By white and tall, obviously, I mean Prester John or priest Ivan, about whom I wrote in the article “Unknown Tartaria. Part 2" .
Here is another interesting description of Pallas:
“I have not been able to fully study their old religion because they try very hard to deny and hide their prejudices: they all call themselves Christians. However, it is certain that they have a large number of idols, which they worship in secret, especially when they go hunting. They retained much of their old idolatry. When they go hunting for elk, sable, etc., they call upon specific deities and kill the figures of these animals in front of their idols or ligurs. There is near Sosva, not far from the yurt of a rich Vogul named Detishkin, a roughly carved stone figure that represents a young elk. The Voguls come to her from afar to make sacrifices and pray for a successful hunt. I was sure that they had similar figures carved from wood; they mark their eyes with two grains of lead or coral. Miners searching for deposits found a year ago, passing through a forest consumed by fire, between Sosva and Lobva, a copper statue near a very tall pine tree; it represented a man holding a spear; it was probably the idol of the Voguls. These people before being converted (to another faith – my note), usually kept their idols in stone caves or on the tops of steep cliffs, or near tall pine trees, in order to excite themselves to greater veneration. Near Lobva, above the Shaitanka stream, there is a cave in a limestone mountain, which is still looked at today as a temple of the Voguls. It is filled with the bones of victims, and sometimes small images are found there, copper rings with engraved figures and other objects that the Voguls buy from the Russians, to whom they return the secret cult. In this part of Siberia there are many streams and places that are named Shaitanka or Shaitanskaya, because the Russians living in this area call the Vogul idols shaitans (Shaitan in Islam is an evil spirit, a demon - my note).
We are talking about the Verkhoturye region. Voguls are Mansi, the closest relatives of the Khanty, now living in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra. It’s hard to imagine that you’re walking through the forest like this, picking mushrooms, and suddenly you come across a copper statue standing near a tree…. And not even because you wonder who brought it there and put it there, but because no one has yet taken it away from there, and it still stands there... Yes, even such a stone sculpture in the taiga is now difficult to imagine, which , it turns out that there used to be a lot in the taiga:
Idol who changed race “Archaeologists believe that a 2,400-year-old Siberian stone idol underwent a “race change” during the early Middle Ages. The Ust-Taseevsky idol once had large protruding nostrils, a large open mouth, a mustache and a thick beard. Experts believe that about 1,500 years ago, someone subjected it to "plastic surgery" to make the idol look less European and more Asian. His eyes were made narrower, and his beard and mustache were shaved off.
Archaeologists believe that the Ust-Taseevsky idol was originally carved during the Scythian period, when the inhabitants of this region were Europeans. But during the early Middle Ages, the population of the Angara River region was “squeezed out” by the Mongols who came with the invasion.”

A people that does not remember its past has no future.”

WARNING!!!
Those who have not read previous articles about Tartary will have many questions, doubts, mistrust, and even rejection of what will be discussed below. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you read all the articles on this topic!
Do you know what exactly the information retrieval system produces for the query “Tartar”? So I was surprised to see this:
And how can one not recall Mike Naumenko’s immortal lines from “The Guru’s Song” -“...Hey, dude, it’s time to know that the lotus is This is a flower, not washing powder..."
Today, the words “Tartaria” and “Tartar” are strongly associated among citizens of Russia, the country - the heir and legal successor of the Great Tartary, then the Russian Empire, and only then the Soviet Union, with “Tartar” sauce, and at best with “ancient Greek mythology”. As experience shows, when asked what the “Titanomachy” is, more than half of those who consider themselves educated citizens can only respond with something like this:
And, most importantly, I remember exactly what I knew! But I forgot...
But the battle of the Olympian Gods with the Titans from Mount Ophrys may not be entirely a myth. Or even not a myth at all. We are learning more and more about Great Tartaria every day, and we now know that it was the largest in the world, and one of the first on the planet, a centralized country with a federal structure, democratic principles of elections to local governments. In addition, it was a social state, with a developed institution of mutual assistance to regions during crop failures or natural disasters. A country with the world's strongest army and navy, a developed transport, postal, and logistics system, with developed agricultural production and metallurgy.
In Tartaria, paper money was first introduced into circulation, and silk production was established. And also, in Tartaria, for the first time in the world, the massive use of coal was used as fuel, which could not but serve as an impetus for the rise in the level of all related technologies. And you say: -
In addition, there was the city of Tartarus itself, which was located on the banks of the river of the same name.
Map fragmentDaniel Cellarius Ferimontanus 1590.Click on the picture to view the entire map.
Looking ahead, I will say right away: - I found the place where Tartarus was previously located. But first, a little about identifying the city of Teduk! This is one of the largest cities of Great Tartary. At first I thought he was here! On the Omulyovka River, where the action of the film “Territory” takes place, which was recently shown with such success (in my opinion, quite deservedly) in all cinemas in Russia.
Nowadays this is a completely deserted place in Kolyma, where there are no roads or villages. But it’s incredibly beautiful here! Here are some photos taken in 2010. Alexander Mekheda:
But then, I decided to check the coordinates on the map, and received more reliable information. Looking for on the map72 degrees north latitude And 168 degrees east longitude. We get on a modern map...
The middle reaches of the Anadyr River. We put it on a medieval map, and we get...
Error is practically eliminated.
With a high degree of probability, I undertake to assert that the ancient Tartar city of Tenduk now rests at the bottom of Lake Krasnoye, near the Anadyr River. The outlines of the Anadyr, along with its tributaries, are depicted with amazing accuracy on the map of 1590. They have remained virtually unchanged to this day.
Realizing my mistake, I again took up the search for Tartarus, and found it. We superimpose the coordinates of the city from the map of 1590 onto a modern map, and we get...
Here is the answer... Tartarus, it turns out, rests on the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, in the East Siberian Sea. And then it becomes absolutely clear that the Karakoran River on the Ferimontanus map is the Kolyma River. And its main right tributary, Omolon, has also not gone away.
But Lake Koros, apparently, has now turned into part of the Kolyma Bay. But what excited me most were the great Pyramids of Tartarus. On the map they appear quite close to Tartarus, but this is an illusion. To find them, you need to know the geographical coordinates. We know them.We are leaving for 68 degrees north latitude, 158 degrees east longitude. And...
We find ourselves at the desired point. I highlighted the current outline of the rivers in blue, and their original channels in yellow. When you enlarge the map, they are clearly visible. And the place where at least traces of the pyramids should be located is very clearly visible, but...
But this is also a result, and a fantastic one at that! Look at this place, it contrasts sharply with the surrounding territories, and is clearly limited in the east by a certain border of unknown origin. Pay attention to the “pancake” structure of the surface of this area. It is very similar to the lunar one, and without a doubt, if we removed the vegetation and water, we would see here an exact copy of the surface of the Moon. And yet, a similar area exists in Eastern Siberia, where the landscape is one to one, like on a battlefield, pockmarked with craters. And the same impenetrable swamps, lakes...
This is what this area of tundra looks like from a helicopter, where the pyramids should have been.
True, there is a significant difference. In Siberia the lakes are almost perfectly round, but here...
Have you ever fired a shotgun at metal barrels of diesel fuel? No? And I shot, hundreds of times. So here it is. If you smear it slightly and the shot hits the side of the container tangentially, you get exactly the same picture! The shot leaves ragged triangular holes, with the top of the triangle at the entrance of the shot, and a flat base where the shot pierced the metal and “drew” into the barrel. Let's look here...
I assure you, the picture is completely identical. You can easily determine from which side the giant shrapnel arrived, and at what angle it entered the surface of the planet. And strictly in the place where the pyramids are indicated on the map! Whatever one may say, among the many versions that are spinning in the head, the most realistic idea seems to be that the target was the pyramids, and they were destroyed by a precise hit from an unknown charge, which in its properties resembles shrapnel, only of unprecedented power. One that only the Gods can do. Well, or not to the Gods, but definitely not to man, and not in the thirteenth century. And in the twenty-first, such weapons had not yet been invented. And the “pill” flew along a gentle tangential trajectory. The vertices of all "triangles" indicate the exact direction.
We were bombed from Canada?
Well, what do you think I could do after all this? That's right! Study images from space in detail. And then it all began... It began and ended. At first my attention was attracted by the “pimple”, clearly visible among the swamps at the maximum magnification of the image. Lucky. His photo hangs nearby. Here it is.
This is the so-called bulgunnyakh (not to be confused with an obscene expression).
Bulgunnyakh (also called pingo, which means navel), is a perennial mound of cryogenic heaving, resulting from uneven ice formation during the freezing of taliks and the formation of permafrost.
Did you understand anything? The word "uneven" killed me. Uneven compared to what? In my opinion, everything is just the opposite, abnormally even. In general, this is another case where a vague formulation hides a lack of a clear understanding of the process. Geologists themselves do not know what it is, but a couple of “scientific” definitions are enough for an inquisitive person to forever lose the desire to ask about anything, so as not to be branded a fool. But okay. God be with him, with the navel. Let's look further!
This makes your vision begin to blur. All this is painfully reminiscent of the ruins of a city crushed by a giant’s boot. The size of the “city” is small, just over a kilometer, but the premonition of something does not let go. And here is another fragment nearby.
This is too reminiscent of Dresden, or Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the bombing. Only in this case the city was built as if spontaneously, like a large village. I do not know what it is. I see something that I cannot understand, but I know that similar structures are no longer observed anywhere around. Only on a limited patch of marshy, impassable terrain, in the place where pyramids and gigantic structures without openings with flat roofs are indicated on ancient maps.
And by some random coincidence, it is in this place that a whole series of structures are observed on the surface of the earth that are not found anywhere else. And neither together nor separately. This means there can be no talk of chance here.
Here are a few more interesting objects:
I have no arguments, but there is a strong feeling that we are faced with something that is obvious only at first glance. If Mother Nature did all this, then in this case there is no clear explanation of the origin of all this “ugliness.” At least I couldn't find anything. I would be glad if someone has reliable information about the possible reasons for the emergence of these “cities”.
