There is an underground lake with healing water and a cave with an altar in the center. And the stone guardian "Maori" keeps the mountain. Mount Pidan: a point on the map, interesting only to local tourists, or a sacred land that hides a thousand mysteries?
These questions are answered by the rector of the Far Eastern Academy of History, Psychology and Parapsychology, Alexander Rempel, and scientists from the Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far East, FEB RAS.
NARBON PROPHECY
Alexander and Lane Rempel were given the Narbonne prophecy at the initiation in the ancient fortress of Montsegur (France). It says that the center of magic in the XXI century will move to a place with coordinates 132 degrees longitude and 43 degrees latitude. These coordinates point to Mount Pidan (the modern name is Livadiyskaya) in the Primorsky Territory, the height of which is 1332 meters.
WHERE ARE THE LEGENDS?
Promotional video:
Alexander Ivanovich, where do you get all these legends about Mount Pidan?
REMPEL (R): Once we went to France and visited the famous fortress of Montsegur. In the church of St. Michael in Karnak, its abbot, having learned that we are from Russia, took out some Talmud and asked us: "What is Pidan?" We answered that it was a mountain. And he says: “In our legends it is written this: 'Pidan will receive the banner of Montsegur,' and the coordinates are indicated. They pointed to Pidan quite accurately. "At the beginning of the century of change, when the altar is erected on Pidan, the mountain will close the last link in the ancient magic chain." When we returned home, we began to understand and look for information in museums, to delve into the medieval culture of Primorye. And they learned that Pidan gained importance during the Bohai Empire. It was a cult mountain, where ordinary people did not go, only the priests went, and there they communicated with the "higher" or "flying people" …
Did you really find that the megaliths (from the Greek words "megao" - large and "cast" - stone: large stones) of Pidana emit ultrasound, electric and radio waves?
R: Yes. At one time, in the Pidan area, two helicopters crashed and a plane crashed. After these emergencies, flights over Pidan were banned. We took sensors with us up the mountain, of those that in the apartment react to the TV, to high-voltage power lines - a light comes on. On Pidan, the light is also on, although there are no man-made things there. If you were on Pidan in the “damn cemetery”, which is next to the “Maori” - the stone guardian of the mountain (tourists call him “damn finger”), then you probably saw: there is a long narrow hole under it. So the background goes from there. If you go down from the opposite side of the "Maori", you will come to a crevice, where there are some strange constructions, an altar, stuffed animals. They do not deteriorate. Either it is a natural mummification, or … "Bohai says" that there was a pyramid in this place, and then it was covered with stones. And the stone "Maori" became her keeper. Pidan are loose stones, and if you start pulling out something, you can just destroy everything. Thank God, it never occurred to anyone, but if you start doing such work, the stones can be moved. They “breathe” anyway. There is a cave on the southern slope of the mountain. Previously, it was generally impossible to squeeze into it, but last year everyone could freely crawl into it.
Is this the same cave where you can hear the sound of water?
R: Yes, and she goes to the underground lake. After about three meters, the manhole ends with a cave. The height of the cave is about two meters, and there is another hole in it. It is very slippery, covered with mucus, so if you start going down it, you will not get back.
In one of your articles you write that in the center of the cave there is a stone table or altar. It's true?
R: Yes. The altar, in my opinion, is made of rhodonite, a veined red stone. It is split. There are various things on it: small stone and transparent balls, knives, talismans. On the walls of the cave, a lot of all kinds of drawings are engraved or, rather, scrawled. There are stuffed animals, birds. They are not mummified, but perfectly preserved. Probably, the climate inside has: stable humidity, stable temperature.
Do you not admit that the Straight Spring, along the banks of which pilgrims climb Pidan, originates in this cave?
R: So it is. When you go up the spring, it disappears under the stones, but the sound of water is still heard for a very long time.
According to the legend, the water of the underground lake was healing, and the priests used it to treat almost all diseases. Maybe it's true that the water of the Straight Spring can heal?
R: Yes, this water heals a lot. And we are constantly ordered. On the way back, many people collect it in plastic bottles, and some even bring canisters with them.
You have erected an altar on Pidan …
R: We just knocked him out. They took a chisel with them and with each new ascent they gradually knocked out the runes on the stone.
What is written on it?
R: This is a protective spell: "Keeper of the Pidan, High Priest, keep everything safe and sound, do not let your property be destroyed." This is the bottom inscription. The top three lines: “Pidan. Glory". And since Liana, my wife, knocked everything out, it says "Rempel", that is, the person who created all this.
- The ancient manuscript says that after the altar is erected on Pidan, it will be possible to get into the tumulus (a dolmen hidden under the mountain, in which, according to legend, the body of the “higher” rests. - Author)
R: And the gods will reveal their secrets.
Have you already visited it?
R: No. The altar is not finished yet.
In the near future you are not going to open the tumulus?
R: No, we will not open anything. While climbing Pidan, you probably noticed how dirty it is? People go to Pidan all sorts. Last year they set it on fire altogether. Therefore, we will not open something and attract another flow of tourists. Someday it will be possible to make a monument or a museum from this place, but today … You perfectly understand that it is impossible to put security there.
Every year at Pidan we find something new. Recently they found just such a thing (showing a photo), "the Bohai stone of happiness". This is Pidan's biggest secret. It is made as if in the form of an eye. The legend says that every person must find him himself, there can be no guide here. If you are lucky, you will stumble upon it. By the way, we have about a dozen of the same stones in the Chuguevsky region. The glade on which they lie is under the top of the mountain, and at the top, as if cut off by something, there is a lake. From the point of view of physics, this is impossible, since there is no spring there, little precipitation falls, and it must dry out. But there is always water, and there are such stones under the mountain. We saw another such stone in Japan in a Shinto shrine. It says that the Bohai people brought it when they discovered Japan. But back to our stone. It stands close to the path. After we posted the photo on the Internet, people started looking for it. Some are lucky, but most of them are not found …
On the Internet, Pidan is called the “12th place of power” and “gateway to a parallel world”. Your comment…
R: There is a theory (Goncharov N., Makarov V., Morozov V. "Theory of the icosahedral-dodecahedral structure of the Earth (IDSZ)". - Author) that the Earth consists of several crystals and places of power are formed at the intersection of these crystals. Lei's lines, I think that's what they are called. Somehow they calculated the crystal lattice for us, and Pidan got to the junction of these plates … In general, you know, some kind of mysticism. How many people went there, there was not a single case when someone crashed. And after all, children climb on it, people who are over seventy … Only those who spend the night on Pidan perish there. Some don't wake up, others freeze. Several dozen people on the summit have already died. Yes, this is probably a place of power …
Why do you call the stone guard of the "damn cemetery" "Maori"? What does this megalith have to do with New Zealand?
R: This is the Bohai name. The most amazing thing is that there are "Maori" on Easter Island.
- No, as far as I know, the "Easter" stone idols are called "moai"
R: Yes, but you can hear how these words are consonant. And there is the culture of the "flying man", and here it is. Perhaps there is some kind of connection.
“Today, they are trying to cut timber in the Pidan area. It hurts to read and hear about it. Are there forces that can resist the impending "civilization"?
R: Koreans have allocated money for the creation of the Pidan nature conservation complex. The money has been allocated, but there is still nothing there. People from our travel agencies came to me, they were going to organize a tourist route up the mountain, build information stands there, build a hut-museum of Pidan. Until the silence. Actually, the Pidan Mountain area is a nature reserve. But our administration can do nothing about deforestation in it. Everything is destroyed! I'm afraid that in two or three years there will be only stones spattered with paint "about Vanya" and "about Manya", and mountains of rubbish.
DO NOT BELIEVE ANY WORD
We asked specialists from the Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far East, FEB RAS, to comment on all that has been said
Alexander Rudolfovich ARTEMIEV, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Deputy. Director for Science of the Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far East, FEB RAS:
- It is difficult to find a region in Russia where there is no “Pidan” of our own. Because there are so many of them and so many tales are told about them that I absolutely do not believe in them. Of course, there are places with really increased anomalous activity, and Pidan belongs to them. But wherever I go, everywhere there is this: on the Amur, in Transbaikalia. On the islands of Lake Pskov, our space units were specially stationed to study these phenomena. Therefore, Pidan is perhaps some event for the small Primorsky Territory, but for the rest …
There was such a case: my own aunt and her daughter are returning from their dacha on the shores of Lake Pskov, and suddenly a plate drops in front of them. They jump out of the car in excitement and in some kind of inner ecstasy in order to get a better look at it, but the driver does not come out, lit a cigarette. They say that you are, they say, Petrovich. And Petrovich replies:
- Yes, tired, they go down twice a week. Whatever sense they had, better harvest or rain.
There were our archeologists on Pidan, there is nothing made by man there. All the Cyclopean clutches that are there are everywhere. This is the uplift of rocks and outliers. Quite ordinary things.
But what about the legends about the ten-meter crystal, about the priests and stone guards "Maori", about the fact that practically the mountain ruled almost the entire Bohai empire?
- I can say for sure that the Bohai people did not even suspect that the mountain ruled the Bohai Empire. Moreover, this territory is the periphery of the Bohai Empire. Its center is not here. The empire occupied a significant part of northeastern China and all of North Korea. There is not even one of the five capitals of Bohai on our territory. And so that the mountain that ruled the Bohai Empire was on its periphery, this cannot be.
- According to legend, inside Pidan there is a lake with healing water, which in the form of a mountain spring is available today to every mortal
- A unique natural phenomenon, nothing more.
They say that an ancient manuscript kept in a museum in France mentions Mount Pidan. And it is written that at the beginning of the century of changes, when an altar is erected on Pidan, the mountain will close the last link in some ancient magic chain. After that the "higher", the gods of the mountain, will reveal their secrets to us …
“I don’t believe a single word.
And about the “stone of happiness” that resembles an eye, what do you say?
- But this is a kind of thing!
They say that in the Chuguevsky region there is a whole clearing of similar stone balls. And that they belong to the days of Bohai
- Chuguevka is a well-known place, there are three ancient settlements, archaeologists have been working for many years, but most likely stories about the “stones of happiness” …
Nadezhda Grigorievna ARTEMIEVA, head of the sector of archeology of medieval cities of Primorye:
- If there were such things under Chuguevka, we would know about them. The same as about the lake, which is on the top of a certain mountain in the Chuguevsky region. About such balls on Pidan, too, did not have to hear.
Yes, there are stone cannonballs near the Chuguev settlement, but these are ordinary cannonballs from a catapult, which are found in almost all Jurchen monuments. But so that they had a similar design, they did not meet. I get the impression that this is a remake …
Nadezhda Grigorievna, your colleagues, professionally engaged in the Bohai culture, have they ever come across the legends that Alexander Rempel cites in his works?
- We have never seen anything like it. And how could Rempel know the Bohai legends if the sources of the Bohai legends themselves are gone? It seems that they are simply invented … Your yesterday’s interlocutor did not contact us, although at our institute we have collected a wealth of material on the Bohai culture. I understand that he is “staring at you,” and yet in such historical evidence as legends, one must rely on scientific facts and genuine sources.
Primorye residents became interested in Bohai only a few years ago, when South Korean scientists joined our work. Recently, we constantly come across the topic of Pidan. Wherever I give a lecture, the question always arises: “What do we have on Pidan”? Yes, we have nothing on Pidan! Yes, there are remnants of the Bohai culture in Primorye, extensive material has been collected. Bohai, by the way, professed Buddhism. We already know five temples of that time. They are excavated, buddhas are being studied. And on Pidan there are no ancient monuments of the Bohais!
Students of the Academy of Psychology and Parapsychology discovered two caves on Pidan. One of them contains a stone altar table made of rhodonite, wall paintings, objects of magical purpose …
- If they really found them, then this is a sensation. The fact is that in Primorye we do not have a single cave with ancient inscriptions. There is a cave "Sleeping Beauty", in which a woman's face is hollowed out, but experts are inclined to believe that this is still a fake. There is another cave in the Partizansky District, and in it, in a niche, there is an image of a pregnant woman of an oriental look. So we do not deny, everything can be, but you show that it was not a word. And then look (shows some photographs donated by Rempel), “God's finger”, well, what is it… excuse me… Or “stone hand”… You know, all this is from a series of good imagination. And about the cave … I wish it were. It would be great.
David Lazarevich Brodyansky, professor of FENU:
- "The Bohai stones of happiness" are interesting, judging by the photographs. Do they really exist? If there are, then you have to go, touch, study. Of course, there are things that for the time being do not notice. Here are dolmens, for example. There are twenty thousand of them in Korea. We still haven't had one. True, last autumn we did find one near Nakhodka. They say there are four more nearby. But Arseniev also wrote about stone megaliths in the taiga. He saw them somewhere, but in the description there is no reference to the place. That is, you see, dolmens are not a trifle, but are still unknown …
On the other hand, who defined these objects as "stones of happiness"? scientific and historical facts have nothing to do with!
"THE TRUTH IS NEXT …" ("X-FILES")
Finally, when I was leaving the Institute of History, Alexander Artemiev suddenly gave me overwhelming information. It turns out that in the bins of the archeology sector there is a real ancient Jurchen rod with nine or twelve dragons. Such, he said, are often shown in historical, fantastic and mystical films. Physicists warn that in no case should you take it in your hand until you take a copper plate in your other hand. Life threatening. So much for a fairy tale about a kladenets sword, which not everyone can pick up …
Are you ready to go with us on an expedition to Pidan, if the astrologers show us the cave and tumulus? - I ask Nadezhda Artemyeva before leaving
- With great pleasure, especially since I want to believe: legends are not born from scratch. But what if? What if there really is something there?
Several days later, Alexander Rempel agreed to show us the cave hole and the place of the tumulus entrance.
