The official history says that the Chinese lived on the lands of the modern Primorsky Territory, and even earlier the Bohai Kingdom and the Jurchen emperors ruled. The underwater archaeologist, Genrikh Petrovich Kostin, 17-time USSR champion and underwater sports coach, friend of Jacques Yves Cousteau, claims that even before all this, in the 10th century, the Slavs settled on our land. Yaroslav the Wise himself was on the shores of the Golden Horn, and the Novgorod merchant Sadko was in full swing. Alternative history from Heinrich Kostin.
Heinrich Kostin, underwater archaeologist: “Our classical scientists are denying us our version of the presence of the Slavs. And this is not so, there are facts, and I am ready to prove them. Scientists talk about the Jurchzhen, and the Chinese say that this is an unknown tribe. Behind our back is the Dundaz island, this is Russian. And here, on Egersheld, there was also the Dundaz system. Under the Kazan Bridge there was a moat filled with water, along which the Slavs escaped from their pursuers. The baptism of Rus took place long before the Monamakh, around the 7th century AD. At the same time, there were already Slavs here. One of the historians writes that these were people with big black beards, they shot well, and they traded. All local steel, it is imported. The appearance of Yaroslav the Wise here in 1042 is a translation of the historian Chudinov. This was the land of Kiev - Rurik. Yaroslav the Wise was in the Siranusi garrison near Ussuriisk. The archaeologist Artemiev wrote about this. On May 1 street there is a stele, there is an inscription in Dzhurchzhensk, as he says, this language of Slavic usage.
Remains of ancient ships were found on Cape Dundas, the most interesting finds were described by Dmitry Borisov, he found a millstone. And the historian Kofarov writes that there were ships with provisions and weapons in the roadstead. Even before the foundation of Vladivostok, there was the Unya Bay here. The Golden Horn itself represents the thumb. There was a steep slope in the center, where the Kedr bank stands."
On the Embankment, where the Lend-Lease warehouses were, Heinrich Kostin discovered an ancient wall. According to the underwater archaeologist, this is nothing more than an ancient pier - the trading post of the Novgorod merchant Sadko. You heard right! Sadko is not an epic character at all, but a real person, an organizer of trade from Veliky Novgorod. The merchant specialized in purchasing "goldfish" in large quantities in the Korean port of Pusan.
Heinrich Kostin: “One of the very first buildings, in the 10th century, was the Sadko trading post. The famous merchant, adventurer, as they would say now, the oligarch Sadko arrived here on the Northern Road.
From Arkhangelsk, Russian ships, skirting Europe, went to Palestine, where the knights-crusaders who often came from Europe bought skins well: wolverines to escape the cold; bearish - to protect against arrows and sword blows; ermine to give to women.
Heinrich Kostin: “It was 6 degrees warmer there, you could get there in one season. Collect furs that are valuable in Europe. There is evidence that Emperor Herman in Jerusalem was at the celebration in clothes made of a bear with a white chest. Medieval castles did not have windows; therefore, tapestries made of Russian fur were highly valued. Cape Dezhnev used to be called Black and it was a turning point for kochi. Such a koch was recreated several years ago and we reached Vladivostok on it."
Koch is a Russian northern galley. On a single- or double-decked vessel, the problem of saving sailors from the cold was easily solved. Apparently, the idea of building deck ships by the West Europeans was borrowed from the Russian pomors. According to their purpose, the large 500-ton kochi ships were of three types: a merchant pot-bellied or belly ship; military or dry and a ship with a ram. The huge black ships of the Russians were delivering around the world the then most expensive commodity - native iron of the Toledo steel type from the mines of the Middle Urals and Norway. By the way, an excellent road was laid from the Middle Urals to Kholmogory.

Iron was transported in the form of "strips" of light weight so that one person could lift it.
In the center of today's Semyonovskaya Square, according to Heinrich Kostin, there was a chapel of Yaroslav the Wise. He tried to draw it using the description of the prince himself.
Heinrich Kostin: “The foundation of the chapel was found there. It was 6-8 high, had 2 bells. Yaroslav the Wise came here to determine who lives here. He arrived by land. Here he died, then he was very quickly taken to the West."
Genrikh Petrovich claims that the Maya are light-skinned relatives of the Slavs, and they also left their traces in Primorye. And on Cape Churkina, on the site of the Children's Park, he discovered two fragments of the wall of an ancient pyramid.
Heinrich Kostin: “A fig grove was cut down there, and we keep the details of the pyramid. The peoples of the Rus built pyramids to mark their boundaries of possession. The largest ancient sign of the Incas is not in the Nasco desert, but on Cape Gamow. The Slavic language is 3 million years old. There was no other language. Our neighbors in Europe are still using our benefits. Fragments of the pyramids were still found near Nakhodka, they are almost a thousand years older than the American ones. The Maya started from here, this was confirmed by American geneticists. The Slavs settled in South America, there are lands where they still speak Old Slavonic. Maya - were students of the Slavs. And there were no others from whom one could learn. Our ancient cities are white stone, our craftsmen were the best masons. Our version is not included in the concept of nomenclature views. It was the Slavs who have always lived in the East. It is Europe that is in our backyard, not we with them."
Our fellow countryman believes that the seaside of Primorye and the whole region in general, not only in antiquity, but also just a few centuries ago, was one of the major cultural centers of Russia - Russia, which spread its influence over the entire Asia-Pacific region. Up to 300 ships wintered annually in the Golden Horn Bay. Unfortunately, this civilization died around the end of the 16th century, as a result of a powerful earthquake. Here's an alternate story from an underwater archaeologist.
