On medieval maps of Eurasia, the territory of Russia (Siberia), geological and political changes can be traced, this is natural. Take one 20th century: how the map changed, from the Russian Empire to the young Soviet Republic, which grew up in the USSR and lost its territory again …
Not to mention the names that have changed radically.
On the maps of the past, we observe the evolution of states and the change of power, the migration of peoples, the founding and movement of cities, along with the migration of the people.
Nothing remains unshakable, no matter how you want it.
At some point in time, the territory from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean is called Tartary. In the other - the Great Empire of Kathai or the Empire of the Great Khan (Kama). Even earlier - Scythia.
For the sake of the political moment, schools and institutes do not teach the true history of the Russian state, but they lead Russians out of the "wild nations that just emerged from swamps and forests a thousand years ago." Who suddenly rebuilt the European part of Russia with cities and turned out to be more enlightened and more cultured than the Europeans who shit under the stairs in the Louvre.
Since Russia in one way or another fell under the rule of foreigners, in fact, it was occupied, the authorities diligently cleaned out references to the real history of Russia in order to deprive the people of memory and pride, keep them in a slave state and mercilessly exploit them.
Thus, history acts as an instrument of enslavement and propaganda (German version).

Today there are also many parties interested in hiding the real history of Russia, Siberia, Tartary.
As I wrote, various methods are used, from defamation of researchers and official disregard, to directing people's views in the other direction and creating new falsifications, entire directions with a large number of followers with an immature mind.
It is enough to have an unbiased view and not dismiss the facts, calmly explore open sources, maps, how much becomes understandable and explainable even without books from secret libraries.
So, as I said, maps of Siberia reflect climatic, even geological changes that have occurred in recent times. If on the map of Fra Mauro Siberia is built up with numerous cities, including the coast of the now Arctic Ocean, then the maps reflecting reality in 200 years, call this land nothing but the "icy desert", "desert Tartary".
Rivers have traces of strong flooding or are depicted with unfamiliar channels; there are large lakes or seas where there is now only a rocky desert or salt swamps.
However, the cards are far from all that tells us about the actual events of the past. There are encyclopedias of the 16-18 centuries, in which there is a mass of factual material. There is evidence from contemporaries about trips to Katay, Karakorum. There is serious modern research.
Tartary in the "World History" by Dionysius Petavius
Tartaria was also described by the founder of modern chronology, Dionysius Petavius (1583-1652) - a French cardinal, Jesuit, Catholic theologian and historian. In his geographical description of the world to "World History" (The History of the World: Or, an Account of Time, Together With a Geographicall Description of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America), published in 1659, the following is said about Tartary:
TARTARIA (in ancient times known as Scythia, after the name of their first ruler Scythia, who was first called Magogus (from Magog, son of Yafet), whose descendants settled this country) is called by its inhabitants the Mongols Tartaria by the name of the river Tartarus, which washes most of it … This is a huge Empire (incomparable in size to any country, except for the overseas possessions of the King of Spain, which it also surpasses and between which there is a communication, while the latter is very scattered), stretching 5,400 miles from east to west, and to 3,600 miles north to south; therefore its Great Khan or Emperor owns many kingdoms and provinces containing a great many good cities.
In the east, it is bordered by China, the Sin Sea or the Eastern Ocean and the Anian Strait. In the west - by the Imaus mountains, although there are Tartar hordes who recognize the power of the Khan, on the other side of them; in the south - the river Ganges and Oxus, which we now call Abia (modern Amu Darya), Hindustan and the upper part of China, or, as some say, with a mountain …., the Caspian Sea and the Chinese wall. In the north - with the Scythian or Frozen Ocean, on the coast of which it is so cold that no one lives there. In addition, there is the rich and great kingdom of Cathai, in the center of which is the city of Cambalu or Cunbula, stretching 24 Italian miles along the Polisangi River. There are also the kingdoms of Tangut, Tenduc, Camul, Tainfur and Tibet, as well as the city and province of Caindo. However, the general consensus is that today Tartary is divided into five provinces.
1. Small Tartaria (Tartaria Precopensis) is located on the Asian bank of the Tanais River (modern Don) and occupies the territory of the entire Taurian Chersonesos. She has two main cities called Crimea. The one in which the ruler sits is called the Tartar Crimea and Prekop, by whose name the country is called. These tartars should help the Turks by sending 60,000 men without payment at the first request (if they have a shortage of people), for which the tartars inherit their Empire.
2. Tartaria Asiatic or Moscovite or Pustynnaya is located on the banks of the Volga River. People there live mainly in tents and represent an army called the Horde. They do not stay in one place longer than the food for their cattle in the pasture runs out, and in their movements they are guided by the North Star. Currently, they are under the control of one prince, who is a tributary of Muscovy. Here are their cities: Astrakhan (under whose walls Selim II, a Turk, was defeated by Vasily of Moscow) and Noghan. The northernmost hordes of this country, the Nogais, the most warlike people.
3. Ancient Tartary is the cradle of this people, from where they furiously spread throughout Asia and Europe. It rests on the icy ocean. Ordinary people live in tents or under their own carts. However, they have four cities. One of which is called Choras, famous for the khan's tombs. In this province is the Lop Desert, where King Tabor came to incline them to Judaism. Charles V burned it at Mantua in 1540.
4. Chagathai (Zagathai) is divided into Bactria, bordering in the north and east with Sogdiana near the Oxus River, and in the south with Aria, where in ancient times there were beautiful cities - some were destroyed, and some were built by Alexander. Three of them are: Khorasan (Chorazzan or Charassan), after which the country is named. Bactra, named after the river now called Bochara, where the ancient Pythians were born; and also Zoroaster, who in the time of Nin [the king of Babylon] was the first king of this earth and who is credited with inventing astronomy. Shorod Istigias, which some say is the capital of this province, is one of the nicest cities in the East.
Margiana lies between Bactria in the east and Hircania in the west (although some say it lies north of Hyrcania). She is called Tremigani and Feselbas, because people wear huge turbans. Its capital is Antioch (named after the king of Syria Antiochus Soter, who enclosed it with a solid stone wall). Today it is called India or Indion, and was once called Alexandria Margiana. Sogdiana is located west of Bactria. Its two cities: Oksiana stands on the Oxus River and Sogdiana of Alexandria, which Alexander built when he went to India. It also contains Kiropolis, a strong city built by Cyrus. Alexander was wounded under its walls. He was hit by a stone right in the neck, he fell to the ground, and his whole army considered him dead.
Turkestan, where the Turks lived before they went to Armenia in 844, the barren land forced them to do so. They have two cities - Galla and Auxerre, of whose glory I know nothing.
And, finally, to the north of these four lies the province of Zagatae ?, which was so named after the Tartar nobleman Sachetaie?.. Ogg, Tamerlane's father, was the heir to the Sachetaie. Tamerlane, who was called the Fury of the Lord and Fear of the Earth, married Gino, daughter and heiress, and thereby received the Tartar Empire, which he divided among his sons. And they, after his death, lost everything that he conquered. His capital, Samarkand, is the place of residence of Tamerlane, which he enriched with booty brought from his numerous campaigns. And he also has Bukhara, where the governor of the province is located.
Cathai (which has long been called Scythia, which does not include the Himalayas, and Chagatai - Scythia within the Himalayas) took its name from Cathay, which Strabo had here. It borders China in the south, the Scythian Sea in the north and lies east of the Tartar Provinces. It is believed that earlier Seres lived here, who possessed the art of weaving silk yarn from fine wool that grows on the leaves of trees, therefore in Latin silk is called serika. The people of Katai and Chagatai are the most noble and cultured among Tartarus, and lovers of all kinds of arts. This province is home to many beautiful cities, including the capital Cambalu, which is 28 miles wide, besides the suburbs, some say and others say 24 Italian miles, and is home to the Great Khan. But in Xainiu he also has a palace - incredible in length and grandeur.
The first of the Great Khans or Emperors of Tartaria was Genghis in 1162, who, conquering Mucham, the last King of Tenduk and Katai, changed the name of Scythia to Tartaria: the fifth after him was Tamerlane or Tamir Khan. During his reign, this monarchy was at its peak of power. The ninth was Tamor, after which we do not know who was the ruler there, and what outstanding events took place there, because they said that neither the Tartars, nor the Muscovites, nor the king of China allowed anyone except traders and ambassadors to visit them, and did not allow their subjects to travel outside their countries.
But it is known that tyranny reigns there: life and death occurs according to the words of the Emperor, whom ordinary people call the Shadow of the Spirit and the Son of the immortal God. The largest among the various rivers are the Oxus, which originates from the Taurus Mountains. The Persians never crossed it in order to expand their possessions, because they were always defeated, the same thing happened with the Tartars, if they dared to do the same.
The Scythians were a valiant, populous and ancient people, never submitting to anyone, but rarely attacking themselves in order to conquer someone. Once there was a long dispute about who is older: the Egyptians or the Scythians, which ended with the fact that the Scythians were recognized as the most ancient people. And for their large numbers they were called the mother of all migrations of peoples. The philosopher Anacharsis was born in this country, which stretches to the north of the Danube. This area is called Sarmatia or the Scythians of Europe.
Here it is worth mentioning a couple of your thoughts or even discoveries. Emperor Katai was called the Great Khan (Magni Chami). Presbyter John, the legendary ruler of a huge empire, bore the same title.
Contemporaries called him "the king of kings" or Lord over Lords. In the light of my assumption that some historical names have changed in pronunciation, and "t" in a number of words can sound like "t", and also pass in dialects in and "s" or "z" (among the eastern peoples), the name of Tartary sounds like a king.
The ruler of the Great Empire of Kathai, the King of Kings - it is logical that the country is eventually called the King of Kings.
Yes, I know, some are talking about the million-year-old country of Tarkh and Tara. But alas, if you dig where this is from, you will come to Levashov, who was not guided by anything except the name itself and consonance with the name Tara. Again, it can have the same root, but not be the basis for the name. In addition to the meaning "royal", the root "tsar" (zar, sar, tar - transitional forms) has the meaning of brilliance and gold. So, Tsar Baba will mean not only "queen", but also "Golden Baba". That is, Tara may well come from this root with a meaning close to the Golden Baba, who was worshiped in those places. And the cult of the "golden body" in a high meaning. But this is not a topic for this recording, maybe somehow I will return to it later.
In addition, Tartary is a relatively recent formation on medieval maps. This is a large empire that replaced Katai, led by the great Khan.
According to information that has come down to us, the outstanding intelligence, courage and charisma of Chinggis gathered under his wing large detachments of lightly armed tartars (today they are called Cossacks and nomads). Having received actual control over large lands and power over people, he wooed the daughter of Presbyter John. He refused Genghis Khan because of his simple origin, which led to a war between them and the defeat of Presbyter John. So the Katay empire was destroyed as a state entity and included in the Tartary of Genghis Khan.
An interesting quote from Julius Evola's research on Presbyter John:
"According to various legends, Presbyter John sends gifts and examines the readiness to fulfill the imperial duties of Frederick the Second Staufen, concluding:" Frederick is wise in words, but not in deeds."
Y. Evola adds a few more details to the description of the kingdom of Presbyter John. Tractatus Pulherrimus calls him "King of Kings - Rex Regnum".
He combines secular and spiritual power and can say about himself: "Presbyter John, by the grace of God is the Lord of all the masters who only exist under heaven, from the Sunrise to the earthly paradise."
In all medieval sources, Presbyter John controls and restrains the tribes of Gogs and Magogs and controls the visible and invisible worlds. Prevents "lions" and "giants" from entering their kingdom.
Let us clarify that, according to the concepts of that time, the "lions" corresponded to the imperial military units, which had images of a lion on their ensigns (standards).
Giants or titans corresponded to “a degraded caste of warriors, who abandoned high principles and fell into the power of violence, pride and belligerence.
The giants, according to the epic of those times, are the fans of the Wolf."
In the Kingdom of Presbyter John, according to the same legends, there was a "fountain of youth" and the primary residence of the "three wise men" - the city of Seuva on the Victory Hill, in which the symbol of imperial functions - the Eagle - was located.
Some sources claim that King Xerxes, Alexander the Great, Roman emperors, Augier, King of Denmark and many others visited the kingdom of Presbyter John.
They all legalized their royal dignity with him.
The distant and powerful empire in various mysterious and wonderful stories is called the Empire of the Great Khan, in which the Tree grows, which gives the one who approaches or hangs a shield on it, victory and a place in the universal Empire.
Such an embodiment of the Family Tree, to which all world sprouts stretch, and to which one can join by gaining military glory or serving the Empire.
At that time, Presbyter John was often personified as the Great Khan sitting in the Center of the World. According to the descriptions of Marco Polo, Hayton, Mandeville, Johannes de Plano, Carpini and others, he was perceived as a powerful emperor of a huge empire, as a wise and happy monarch.
Which is fully consistent with our version.
The main conclusion, formulated by Y. Evola, sounds like this: “The idea of the Grail is the idea of imperial power. Such power was possessed by the legendary presbyter John. Moreover, he had power over almost the entire world."
And here is the map of Cataya, a fragment of Fra Mauro's world map. To illustrate what's what. Where it all happened.
The Imaus mountains are the second here, like the Caucasian ones, these are Sayan and Altai. They were also periodically called so, and on one map there were two identical names for different mountains.
It can be seen there by localization, in the upper left corner of Tibet, on the right a little down - the edge of the Caspian Sea.
A similar fragment of the map of the European part of Russia with the translation of the names. Including the Ural Mountains.
Note that Tartaria is also present here, along with Katai - but where?
In the Caspian and Black Sea steppes! It seems that from there the conquest of Katai took place.
I believe this is a story, a simple retelling of the conflict of the kings, just about that period, the overthrow of Genghis Khan the Great Khan, the king of Presbyter John.
Now about Khan. This title cuts the Russian ear)
Me too, I confess.
We are more accustomed to a king or a prince.
But we need to figure it out here too - as with the name "Tartary". What if something interesting will open?
Note that Cham - has an "m" at the end. How are the first two letters read? We are used to putting "x" right away, although it is more correct to put "h". But the first is unexpectedly perceived, and the second is uninformative.
And here comes the thought: and after all Chataio is read by us as Katay. All sources give the name in this way.
And there is the same combination of letters, Ch.
It turns out that according to the rules, we should not read "Magni Hami" or, moreover, not "Magni Hani". And Magni Kami.
This is the Latin declension, magnus - great, "Great Kama".
But this already has its own and familiar meaning! Who is Kam?
Here is what Dahl's Explanatory Dictionary says about this word:
Kam is a shaman, a priest!
Tsar-priest Ivan was just a priest, he combined spiritual power with secular, ruled over the visible and invisible world. Perhaps that is why his status was that. It is also possible that the word "khan" came from his status as the supreme ruler. Genghis was the first to take this title for himself, after King John.
In addition to the King of Kings, priest John, this title was used later:
Interesting continuity, isn't it? It fits into the events of Russian history, after the geological shock that destroyed Tartaria as a state. Alexander I's contemporaries gave him the highest, in their eyes, title. And this title was the Emperor of Tartary sive Katai …
