Legend of the land of Oryan (Aryan)
That was so long ago that antiquity itself faded from old age, and only old people still keep those legends in their memory and tell about them. So, when the Rus Oryans lived on the midnight land near Mount Meru, and that Golden Mountain still stood firmly, then Tsar Svarog ruled the Rus.
He had many more different kings under him, and they were all living Gods and were called like this: Perun the Tsar, Veles the Tsar, Dazhdbog, Yaro, Kupalo, Khoros, Kolendo, Vyshny, Kryshniy, Lyutobor, Ovsen, Prosich, Gray, and even Poleviktsar, Vodyanik-tsar, Lesich-tsar. And the other names have been forgotten, so they will not be remembered anymore. In addition to those kings, there were also distant kings, but they also obeyed Svarog-tsar, and everyone obeyed him uninterruptedly (unquestioningly).
Our Ancestors lived there happily and wisely. They had silver, gold, they knew iron and copper, and they had everything in their house - a good firebox and clean water, if you wanted to drink. But once the land of Oryan (Aryan) rose up, the sea boiled around, houses began to fall and collapse, and people could not stand on their feet, and every beast roared and fell to the ground, and many horses and cows broke their legs. Then Tsar Svarog ordered to prepare lodia, to throw everything except the most necessary, to plant children, old men and wives in them, and even young foals, calves and dairy cows to take and, together with the military guard, quickly sail away from the coast.
The boat went out into the open sea and sailed at noon (direction to the south). In the meantime, it started raining, then snowing, the water began to freeze, and the Great Cold came. The Lodia sailed from the land of Oriya, and Mount Meru began to burn with fire, and again the earth shook. King Svarog walked in the front lodge with his governor, the great Janush, and behind him were other kings with their people. There remained those who did not want to sail away, who dabbled (valued) their goods and gold more than life. The dark night stood all around, and the waves went like mountains, and not a single star was visible. Svarog ordered a large lantern to be lit, and so everyone slowly floated behind his boat.
The next morning they saw that behind, where the earth was, only steam was swirling in a huge cloud, and above it, birds were flying screaming. And the boats went further towards noon, until they saw the distant mountains - then there was already a coast. Rus entered the Great Channel. Svarog ordered the king Ventyr to slowly lead the lodge further, and he himself returned with the soldiers to the land of Ory, hoping to save at least someone else. However, in the place where Mount Meru stood, there was nothing, only the sea was boiling, and boards, straw, dead people and animals floated. Svarog cried and came back.
He caught up with his own in the Great Channel and swam with them further. And they saw people standing on the shore. And he ordered Svarog to land on the shore, but first everyone put on hoof armor (armor made of bone plates cut from hooves), because it is not known whether their friends are waiting for them or enemies. The soldiers jumped into the water, dragged the boats to the shore, with them and the governor Janush. They came out, drops from the armor flow down and burn in the sun, so that the warriors look like large fish in scales. Janusz approached the people, and among them there were many of his Oryans, whom the king had previously sent to the mainland on business.
Janusz told how from now on they lost their native land. People cried bitterly, because they lost their families, fathers, mothers, children, sisters, brothers. And others met relatives among the companions of Svarog the king and also cried, but with happiness. And the king Svarog ordered the king Ventyr to make nets to catch fish and feed the people.
Promotional video:
Ventyr took five sticks - he tied four together with belts, and the fifth in the middle. I tied a net between four sticks, put a stone in the middle, lowered it into the water and caught a fish with that net. Then they set boilers on the shore, lit a fire under them and cooked a good yushka. They thanked the tsar Ventyr, and they called his net so Ventyr.
And Svarog also ordered that neither the calves nor the lambs be touched, and the dairy cows were protected more than an eye and milk was given only to children. Adults, on the other hand, should eat fish, grass, roots and game, which they get on the hunt. Three days later the boats took off and sailed on.
They sailed to the Great River, and there, too, people are standing on the banks, rumors have already reached them about the death of the Aryan land. People from the Great River brought fresh food, clean water and meat and offered to settle near them. And the Rus decided to stay here for now. And the king Svarog said that he would sail to look for Egypt - a distant land.
Yanush remained to rule the Rus, after Yanush became Ventyr, and Ventyr was replaced by Versh the Tsar, who invented the top for fish. Tsar Svarog with his people sailed to Egypt, and they saw huge animals on the banks, which died from the cold, as well as from hunger and disease.
Tsar Svarog traveled a lot around the world and taught other people to live peacefully, and how to cook iron, the land of heaven, raise cattle, beat butter and make cheese for yourself. And since then, as they began to live and work hard, they saw that their sorrows became less.
And king Svarog ruled in Egypt for thirty years, and when he returned, Versha the king was already living out his age. And when Svarog came to his people, after two weeks he passed away. Soon Janusz the Great died, and many of the soldiers were old. And when the Kanysh-tsar began to rule over the Rus, he told them: we are tormented by hunger and cold, and our cattle and animals all around are tormented because the land is icy. Let's go look for a new land! And the Rus went with the Kanysh-king to the land of Sind, and there they raised plenty of cattle, and they could already eat milk, cheese and butter, and they had plenty of bread, and to it fresh and soaked cabbage. And after Kanysh there was the Mighty King, under whom the Rus settled on seven rivers, where they lived richly and happily.
A comment
The Tale says that the Oryans-Rus lived on the land of midnight near Mount Meru, and that Golden Mountain stood firm, and Tsar Svarog ruled the Rus. This is fully consistent with the information of the two previous sections of this chapter of the study - people lived on a certain northern land, and there was Mount Meru. In the Tale, it is specified that that mountain “still stood firmly”, anticipating, apparently, some tragic events around this mountain. And further it is said that “once the land of Oryan (Aryan) rose up, the sea boiled around, houses began to fall and collapse, and people could not stand on their feet, and every beast roared and fell to the ground, and many horses and cows broke their legs.” We see clearly that this is a description of an earthquake, which had tragic consequences for people. To protect from the death of his people, “Tsar Svarog ordered to prepare Lodia, to throw everything except the most necessary,to plant children, old men and wives in them, and even young foals, take calves and milk cows and, together with the military guard, quickly sail away from the coast. People went out on boats into the open sea and sailed to the south.
Then there is a description of the rapidly changing atmospheric situation and weather - "meanwhile it started to rain, then it snowed, the water began to freeze, and the Great Cold came." A very interesting note about the cold. We see that a sharp change in climate was recorded in the Tale, which was caused, apparently, by a strong earthquake and volcanic eruptions. The Tales do not report any other reasons for this cataclysm, but they say: "… and Mount Meru began to burn with fire, and the earth shook again." As will be shown later in the study, geologists have unequivocally determined from the Mercator map that a volcano crater was located in the center of the Arctida mainland, which is what Tale tells us about. Moreover, this cataclysm was accompanied by the onset of darkness and huge waves on the sea: "The dark night stood all around, and the waves went like mountains, and not a single star was visible." It only says one thingthat the sky was covered with clouds of dust, ash and eruptions from volcanoes, so that the stars were not visible. And the earthquake and possibly accompanying movements of the earth's plates caused huge waves at sea.
This is how the legendary Northern land perished - the Aryan land according to Legends, by all indications it was she who was indicated on the Mercator map, from which nothing remained at the moment. “In the morning, they saw that behind, where the earth was, only steam was swirling in a huge cloud, and above it, birds were flying screaming.” And further it is said that "in the place where Mount Meru stood, there was nothing, only the sea was boiling, and planks, straw, dead people and animals floated." The surviving Rus sailed to the south and "entered the Great Channel", along the banks of which people lived. Apparently, this channel can be associated with the Ob Bay. Having stopped there for a short time, “the people of Svarog took off and sailed on. They sailed to Velikaya Rechka, and there, too, people are standing along the banks, rumors have already reached them about the destruction of the Aryan land. Probably the Ob itself is called the "Great River".“People from the Great River brought fresh food, clean water and meat and offered to settle near them. And the Rus decided to stay here for now. " We see that the surviving people from the northern land settled on the Great River with other people living there. The main thing for us is that we have information that directly speaks about the existence of the Northern Land, about the catastrophe that happened to it and the resettlement of people from that land in a southern direction.

Almost instantaneous climate change is further said in the Tale: “Tsar Svarog with his people sailed to Egypt, and they saw huge animals along the banks, which died from the cold, as well as from hunger and disease”.
Attention is drawn to the mention of Mount Meru, information about which is found in the legends of different peoples. In particular, in the Indian Vedas, where it is noted that the people who came to the Indians and became the creator of the new Indian society, lived in a midnight country, in the north (this was already mentioned in the previous sections of this chapter). The people who came, the Indians called the Aryans, which can be related to the content of the Tales. According to the Tale, it is clearly visible that the Rus-Oryans moved from the northern land, and they were led by the legendary Svarog, who became one of the main gods of the Vedic peoples.
The information from the Skaz about the settlement of the Rus is interesting. “And when the Kanysh-tsar began to rule over the Rus, he said to them: we are tormented by hunger and cold, and our cattle and animals all around are tormented because the land is icy. Let's go look for a new land! " We see that the onset of cold was not a one-time phenomenon after the catastrophe, but continued for a long time, which led to the decision to leave the “icy” land and go to warmer regions. "And the Rus went with the Kanysh-Tsar to the land of Sind, and there they raised plenty of cattle, and they could already eat milk, cheese and butter, and they had plenty of bread, and to it fresh and soaked cabbage." We see a direct indication of the Sindi land. But it is not yet possible to localize this land, since there is no exact data for this. It is possible to assume the consonance of the indicated "Sindskaya" with the word Indian, i.e. Indian, possibly along the Indus River in present-day Pakistan,and also with the word Sindika, the famous name of the area on the Taman Peninsula. Just don't forget about the time of the catastrophe. And this happened, it seems, in ancient times. And the time of the appearance of people, both in the Indus and in Sindik, has its own clear historical landmarks, and this happened much later. Although we still do not know much in reality, for ourselves, of course, we will make a note about the Sindi land, since this is important for tracing the path of settlement of the Rus.but for ourselves, of course, we will make a note about the Sindi land, since this is important for tracing the path of settlement of the Rus.but for ourselves, of course, we will make a note about the Sindi land, since this is important for tracing the path of settlement of the Rus.
The Tale further says: "And after Kanysh, there was the Mighty King, under whom the Rus settled on seven rivers, where they lived richly and happily." An important indication of seven rivers, but again, it does not directly reveal exactly where this water basin was located. But we know that the concept of Semirechye was important for the Rus. So in the "Veles Book" there is information about two regions of the location of some Semirechies (of course, as assumptions): one in the foothills of the Tien Shan near Lake Balkhash, and the second in the Green Land beyond the sea - the southern Ural steppes up to the Aral Sea. Among the geographical names known to us and existing similar names, there is only one, the Semirechensk region in Kazakhstan in the area of Lake Balkhash. It is extremely important for us to understand these geographical indicators and to understand, in the end,how the Rus-Aryans moved during their resettlement from the northern land. But this is a topic for a separate study.
Absolutely all documentary sources of white peoples indicate that initially people appeared on the mainland located in the North, which in different sources is called differently: Arctida, Daariya, Siveria, Ariana, etc. An image of the outlines of this continent, consisting of four large islands, is preserved on the wall of one of the pyramids at Giza. In 1595, this map was published by Rudolph, the son of Gerhard Mercator.
The Bulgarian legends say about this time as follows: “When our ancestors lived at the End of the Earth (most likely, they mean the Northern Land), Zhiva Yuda (the immortal Goddess) came and taught how to write golden tablets for the King's Garden. They fell in love with each other, and 70 kings were born to them, who then settled the Fret land (Eurasia).
The youngest was the White King and he ruled in Shernie-land, the land of truth, and he taught people how to write. Our grandfathers believed that he did not die, that he, as a son of the Sun, flew to heaven and is there to this day … Shernia was in the Kharaps land (perhaps the land near Lake Baikal, the Kharaps region was also in ancient India).
We have already indicated above that according to the Avesta, the Aryans in remote antiquity were the inhabitants of the beautiful Northern country. The Indian Vedas also tell about the conquerors of the Aryans who came from the Northern land, on which the Sacred Mount Meru was located, where "earthly Gods are born" (white people for the black population of India were Gods, as they brought them incredible knowledge). And in ancient Russian legends, it is also said about the ancestral home of the Rus, which is called either Severia (in the epics) or Daariya (“The Book of Perun's Wisdom”), where everyone lived in full prosperity and happiness, having everything they needed. The Russian Apocrypha "The Revelation of Methodius of Petarsky" asserts that in the center of the earth was the universal polar mountain Meru - the axis of the world, the place where the celestials lived, and for the people living around Meru, a "golden age" reigned there, and the constellations of the Bear, the Sun, revolved around Meru. The moon and the host of stars, the sun rose there once a year.
In his book "Slavic-Russian Folklore" Yu. Mirolyubov quotes the following about these times: "The traditions of the land of the Aryans are as follows:" There people rode carts without horses, flew when they wanted, and did not know any misfortune. " Velesova Kniga also mentions "carriages without horses". VN Demin, as already noted, gives a lot of artifacts found related to aeronautics. And the Greek gods, as we know, regularly flew to their homeland - Hyperborea.
Russian legends also tell how on one tragic day 110 thousand years BC. The high priest of Daariya named Spas received a vision from the gods that soon the whole land of the Rus-Aryans would perish in fire and water, due to the fact that there would be a flood from the destruction of the small moon of our Earth - Lelia Dazhbog, since the forces of the Koshcheys (some dark forces). To save people, Spas advised to move south to new lands (since then the name Spas has become a household name). And then, for 16 years, under the leadership of the kings: Svarog, Ima, and others, the Aryan Rus moved to the nearest continent (modern Eurasia).
The continental outlines of the mainland at that time looked completely different. There was also the huge East Sea (Siberian Lowland) and the West Sea (European part). And the Rus first settled in the middle reaches of a certain "Great River", but then they settled the Buyan island in the Eastern Sea (present-day Omsk region), and as the water receded, they began to develop all the adjacent lands. In confirmation of this, we will cite some documentary sources. The “Song of the bird Gamayun” says: “… You are my children! Know, the earth walks past the sun, but my words will not pass you by! And people remember about ancient times! About the great flood that destroyed people, about the fall of fire on mother earth … ". "Santii Vedas of Perun" narrate: "You live peacefully on Midgard (the ancient name of our planet),since ancient times, when the world was established … Remembering the deeds of Dazhdbog (here we mean exactly God), how he destroyed the strongholds of the Koshcheevs that were on the nearest moon … Tarkh did not allow the insidious Koshchei to destroy Midgard, as they destroyed Day (the planet between Mars and Jupiter, now this is the belt of asteroids) … These Koshchei, the rulers of the gray, disappeared with the moon in half an hour … But Midgard paid off for freedom with Daariya hidden by the great flood. The waters of the moon created that flood, they fell like a rainbow to the earth from heaven, because the moon split into pieces, and the army of Svarozhichi (fiery debris) sank into Midgard. "disappeared together with the moon in half an hour … But Midgard paid off for freedom with Daarija hidden by the great flood. The waters of the moon created that flood, they fell like a rainbow to the earth from heaven, because the moon split into pieces, and the army of Svarozhichi (fiery debris) sank into Midgard. "disappeared together with the moon in half an hour … But Midgard paid off for freedom with Daarija hidden by the great flood. The waters of the moon created that flood, they fell like a rainbow to the earth from heaven, because the moon split into pieces, and the army of Svarozhichi (fiery debris) sank into Midgard."
A. Burtsev in his "Review of the Russian folk life of the Northern Territory" (1902) quotes a Russian spiritual verse about the "end of the world": "… The darkness is not sacred, the Sun is extinguished bright, Your light does not appear on the face of the earth; Before evenings during daytime hours. The night has come very dark; The moon changed its nature, the bright moon refracted into darkness (that is, the fragments of the small moon of Leli fell to the ground); Stars in the sky. The earth and the water cut off your fruit; Pade from heavens glanders burning (the host of burning svarzhichi - the fragments of the moon fell to the ground); Break down the unripe wheat … Change your nature to the sea … Come winter, very fierce; Kill the all-green grapes … ". There are so many confirmations about the death of a certain northern land.
