“For the first time, knowledge was lit by Lemurs, gloomy giants. The Atlanteans have lifted him to heaven!"
V. Bryusov.
On April 5, 1815, the planet Earth was shaken by the largest cataclysm in the memory of mankind, the Tambora volcano in Indonesia exploded. Colossal masses of ash, sand and volcanic dust were thrown into the air. For three days, many islands in the Indian Ocean were in the grip of pitch darkness. Blooming gardens and fields have been turned into a lifeless desert. The tsunami caused by the explosion immediately killed about 92 thousand inhabitants of the islands and the coastal continental zone.
The year without summer was named after the eruption in 1816 in North America and Western Europe. In the northeastern United States in the summer of 1816, snow fell in June, and there were prolonged frosts in July and August. In England, Switzerland and France, the summer of 1816 was the coldest since the beginning of meteorological observations. This caused severe crop failure and famine, especially in Europe, devastated by the Napoleonic wars (1796-1815). The explosion of the Tambora volcano, as it were, marked the end of one historical era - the Napoleonic era - and marked the beginning of another. It is assumed that one of the consequences of the eruption of Tambora was a pandemic. cholera, which originated in Bengal in 1816 and spread westward, reaching Europe in 1830.
Another consequence of the planetary cataclysm was a change in the way of thinking, which was especially clearly manifested among European peoples. From 1830 to 1860, unprecedented technological changes took place in Europe, called the "Industrial Revolution." At the turn of the late 19th - early 20th centuries, science approached the comprehension of two fundamental facts - the existence of a substance strong to decay and the possibility of the manifestation of matter in the form of fields. Let us add here a number of less significant situations such as the possibility of flying in the air and staying under water, as well as the emerging possibility of "going out" into space. All this allowed a different look at ancient mythology and "secret knowledge", previously either completely ignored by science, or subjected to complete ridicule. Sensing the "border of times", many outstanding minds of mankind rushed to search for ancient wisdom. Due to circumstances, their paths diverged - the majority went to "classical archeology", which opened long-forgotten cultures to mankind. Others took more thorny roads. They either, like Colonel Forrest or Baron Edward Toll, touched the Mystery and … disappeared. Or, like Blavatsky (1831-1891), Scott-Elliot, the Roerichs - contributed, on the one hand, to the revival of the spirit of secret societies - theosophists, occultists with their quests, - on the other hand, strongly profaned the very idea of searches.the revival of the spirit of secret societies - theosophists, occultists with their quests - on the other hand, the very idea of quests was profaned.the revival of the spirit of secret societies - theosophists, occultists with their quests - on the other hand, the very idea of quests was profaned.
In the late 60s - early 70s of the last century, several English geologists noted the similarity of the ancient geological structures of India and South Africa, and suggested the existence of a certain southern land - Lemuria, stretching from South Africa, through Madagascar, India and the southern tip of Hindustan … The geologists were supported by a number of zoologists who pointed out that the island of Madagascar is represented not by African, but by Hindustan flora and fauna. This hypothesis was supported in the writings of a number of Theosophical societies and Rosicrucians. In their books, they put forward the assumption that the land sunken in the Indian Ocean could be the cradle of the “missing link” - the ape-man, the ancestor of “Homo sapiens” (even Friedrich Engels accepted this hypothesis). This explained well the factthat now the habitat of great apes (our closest relatives) is torn into two parts - South Asian and African. Modern science suggests the division of the necrolemur species into two "branches" - a monkey and a man. The legends of the southern peoples in India (Tamils) speak of the southern continent and the Great Exodus, headed by Shiva. The myths of Mesopotamia tell 6 "aliens" from the country of Dilmun, "hiding in the waves of the Indian Ocean."
Traces of some "newcomers - migrants" from the south are found in Upper Egypt. It happened five to six thousand years ago, in the era of the formation of writing, in the Nile Valley, and marks the "path" from the Red Sea to the north through the now dry bed of the Wadi Hammomat to the Nubian Desert. The oldest myths of mankind speak of the possibility of the existence of a highly developed civilization in Lemuria … The "Earthly Paradise" in the East (Bible) is a likely echo of the sacred land of Dilmun of the Sumerians in the southeast. From there, a strange creature appears - the god Annie - and gives people the basics of knowledge (there were several such visits). There is the mysterious "Dome of the Earth" of Arab geographers. The Islands of the Sun and the mysterious island of Lanka, the last refuge of the "Rakshasa demons", are also hidden there. Even in the Egyptian papyri it was indicated that these "islands" are inhabited not by people, but by intelligent Serpents,as well as the mysterious creatures Wang-Wang ("tree people"). The system of yoga and the teachings of Tantra, based on the "cycle of Jupiter", a certain planetary superyear of 12 solar years, is closely connected with the mysterious Lemuria, Tamil South India. The Indian epic "Ramayana" describes the war of god-like heroes using various types of "heavenly weapons" over the mysterious southern lands. An indirect evidence in favor of the reality of recent events can be the increased radioactive background of Madagascar, and the very destruction of Lemuria, which does not fit into the framework of modern geological theories. And the "fabulous people-snakes" may well be "big lemurs." (It is curious to note that several skeletons of ancient lemurs have already been discovered in Madagascar - two meters in height, moving on two hind limbs, having a long tail and huge round eyes. And similar mysterious Tre-tre-tre, according to the stories of the aborigines, and today supposedly live in the jungles of Madagascar).

Seekers
The second half of the 19th century is the time of “seekers of forgotten wisdom”. This "flame" burned especially brightly in Russia. Hundreds of nameless “pilgrims” went in search of the “Intimate” in those years.”The first such place (“The Secret”) was on the river of paradise - the Euphrates, between the borders of Turkish and Persian. Another Country behind Egypt is called Yemakan, in the land of Thebad. The third place is behind Siberia, in the secret state of Opon, on Belovodye … (PI Melnikov, "In the Woods") In 1851, HP Blavatskaya set off "in search of wisdom". She spent most of the rest of her life wandering, having lived for many years in India. In 1875 she founded the "Theosophical Society", which set as its goal the study of the "ancient heritage". In 1888, Blavatsky published her main work "The Secret Doctrine", in three volumes of which questions are set out: cosmogony, anthropogenesis, exoterics. The largest Russian researcher of Asia N. M. Przhevalsky was fascinated by the idea of finding the hidden land of Shambhala. It seemed to him that it was there that the origins of the entire eastern civilization lay. " (A. Maslov. "Country of Wise Men", "Question Mark" No. 1, 1993). The famous German scientist Heinrich Schliemann "rushes about" around the world: the Middle East, India, Africa, North and Central America, the Middle East again. It is he who makes the legend come true. In 1870, "following Homer's instructions," Schliemann opened Troy to the world, unearthed the "Golden-rich Mycenae" near Greece and a mysterious labyrinth on the island of Crete. And what did he find in other parts of the world? Who knows … Hundreds of archaeologists start to "dig" around the world, taking the well-known history of mankind into the depths of time.that it is there that the origins of the entire eastern civilization lie.

The world remembers the Sumerians. The biblical Jericho, a city in which more than two thousand people lived for about the eighth millennium, becomes available, the underground cities of Merke are opened. Ancient cultures are discovered in Africa and America. In the middle of the 19th century, the British barbarously destroy the ruins of the ancient Indian city of Harappa, which flourished during the era of the construction of the pyramids. Archaeologists learned about this too late, only in 1921. Fortunately, the next year, 650 km southwest of the Harappa ashes, on the banks of the Indus, scientists discovered Mohenjo-Daro. And everywhere there are mysterious traces. The ruins of Mohenjo-Daro indicate the possibility of a powerful high-altitude explosion. The epicenter of the tectonic impact is 140 km from the city. Throughout India, many local centers of destructive energy release can be traced, resulting in changes in river channels and outlines of the sea coast. Ancient Jericho - destroyed by a seismic shock. Many of the oldest buildings in the Fertile Crescent and the Sahara bear traces of the impact of incredibly high temperatures. Is this evidence of an ancient world war or …? Much more to come! Ahead are the expedition of the Roerichs and their followers to the Himalayas. Ahead are the secret expeditions of the specialists of the Third Reich and the Stalinist Union to search, collect and study the "ancient heritage".
The end of the 19th century - the time of "loners"
Travel of the Princes Shcherbatovs. Distant descendants of Rurik and the great princes of Kievan Rus, through the Orlovs and Panins. The Shcherbatovs were closely connected with European Freemasonry, and they, in turn, were the heirs of more ancient secret societies that kept secret knowledge. In 1878, Prince Alexander Grigorievich Shcherbatov at the fronts of the Turkish-Bulgarian war received the Order of Vladimir with swords for bravery. Probably, there he felt especially strongly the need to find a different path. Having returned to Russia, he, with the help of his family, begins to prepare a large expedition to the Wild Lands. In 1880, Prince A. G. Shcherbatov, together with his wife, organized an expedition to the "first holy place" on the Euphrates to Syria. They inspect the ancient ruins and among them Palmyra. Their detachment penetrates into the closed city of Deir, where Russian travelers have never been before.what were the results of this trip, what, in fact, they found or did not find in the deserts of Asia Minor. It is only known that their search did not stop there. Two and a half years after returning from Syria, the Shcherbatovs go to India and the island of Ceylon. They travel to the places where the legendary Lemuria once stretched and where its impact was strongest. Their route in 1891 ran from the coast of India deep into the Deccan Highlands - to the ruins of ancient Golconda. They then head north to Delhi, the defeated Mughal capital. Having visited Calcutta, travelers rush to the foot of the Himalayan mountains. Where on horseback, where in a carriage - they are moving towards some mysterious goal. In all the cities visited, their tactics are unchanged - visiting historical monuments, ancient ruins,Hindu temples and "Towers of Silence" by the Parsi fire-worshipers. Everywhere - numerous meetings with a variety of people - from street peddlers of water to the court nobility and independent rajahs. The Shcherbatovs communicate with yogis, dervishes, hermits, sages.
In the Punjab province they meet with the leadership of the Sikh sect, in the Himalayas they “disturb” the peace of the monks. Some researchers suggest that on this journey the Shcherbatov princes carried out a secret military-political mission, “probing the ground” for the removal of the British from India. But, most likely, this is only part of the truth about the true purpose of their journey. In 1893, following the path of the ancient hero Rama, who pursued the Rakshasa demons in an air chariot, the Shcherbatov princes sail to the island of Ceylon, and then to the islands of Indonesia. And here, first of all, they inspect the destroyed temples on the island of Java: Borobudur, Mendut, Prambanak (it is interesting to note that it was in 1891 on the island of Java that scientists first discovered an almost "fossil man" - Pithecanthropus, combining monkeys and human signs). They rise to the hard-to-reach Doeng Plateau, where, according to local legends, the majestic ruins of a whole "ensemble of Shivaist early medieval monuments" have been preserved. But, moving from India to Indonesia, the Shcherbatov princes made a "small detour" - they returned to Russia. Fortunately, a suitable pretext turned up - Famine in the Samara province. After settling some affairs and placing their oriental collection, they continued their research. In 1895 they again "find themselves" in Syria and Palestine, and in 1899 they moved to Egypt.

In 1890, a new large expedition to Arabia and Syria - its officially declared goal - "to find and take to Russia purebred Arabian horses", so necessary for the Russian army. Very little is known about what they took with the horses. As a kind of account of her travels, Princess Olga Shcherbatova writes and publishes three books at her own expense: "Around India and Ceylon", "In the Land of Volcanoes" (about Indonesia) and "Riding in the Bedouin Homeland". Having returned from their last trip, the prince's family lives in their palace in the Moscow region, sometimes visiting their Samara possessions. Prince Alexander Grigorievich “goes” into big politics, creates the “Party of Peaceful Renewal”. During these years, his eldest son travels around China. Then he suddenly returns and retires in the Samara province on a steppe farm. The 1914 war disrupts all the plans of the Shcherbatov family. They hold an emergency meeting but decide to wait. By 1915, positional equilibrium was established on both the Western and Eastern fronts, paid for by colossal losses.
In Europe, there is a decline in morale and morality, “a revolutionary situation is ripening.” In April 1915, the associations of British, French and Australian troops land on the Gallipoli Peninsula, but suffer a crushing defeat from the Turks. Shcherbatov Jr. comes to his father. From some of the remaining hints, one can understand that he proposed to take some drastic measures. Perhaps to activate the power of the found artifacts? But Shcherbatov Jr. dies suddenly at the age of 34. His father passed away two weeks after the death of his son. In the fall of 1918, the old princess leaves for France, and with her is the rest of the family: the youngest son, daughter and four granddaughters. Due to circumstances, most of the "scientific heritage" of the Roerich family, almost all the results of their numerous expeditions, remained outside Russia.
A similar fate befell Blavatsky's “legacy”. In the case of the family of the Shcherbatov princes, fate gave us a chance. Most of their finds were to remain in Russia. Perhaps part of the "treasures" lies in the hiding places of their estate in the village of Vasilievskoye near Moscow. But the most dangerous, the most "unpredictable" finds they had to hide in especially safe places. And for this purpose, their possessions in the Samara province, with its special "energy" and history, were the best fit. Perhaps it is worth looking in their ruined estates. But, conducting such searches, it is worth remembering that after the construction of the Kuibyshev and Saratov hydroelectric power stations, the water level in the Volga rose significantly, and some of the possessions of the Shcherbatov princes today may be under water. Another aspect of the complexity of the proposed searches is the potential danger of ancient artifacts. However, with proper preparation, all these dangers can be circumvented, and the "magical legacy" of the House of Shcherbatovs can still serve their descendants.
