Hyperborea left a mark on ancient maps
Hyperborea (aka Arctida), like Atlantis, perished during the Great Flood (10 478 BC). After it, part of the land sank to the bottom, the climate sharply cooled, and the people who inhabited Hyperborea, who managed to survive after the Flood, were forced to migrate to the southern territories, fleeing the advancing glaciers. And they even reached India!
The ancient Indian epic Mahabharata contains many references to Mount Meru, "immeasurably high, not seen anywhere in the worlds." From the top of the mountain, a beautiful view of the Milk Sea (Arctic Ocean) opens. Directly above the mountain, in the center of the universe, Brahma motionlessly strengthened the North Star (Dhruva), around which the constellations Ursa Major (Seven Rishis), Cassiopeia (goddess Arundhati) and Bootes (Swati) move. The God of the radiant Sun, without leaving Meru for an hour, goes around it, "gives being and distributes it between everything mobile and motionless." The day here lasts a year: half a day, half a night. "Captive", "falling" waters freeze in "beautiful forms."
A strange story for a sultry India, isn't it? How in the south of Asia could they know about the Pole Star, which is motionless only above the North Pole? How did the creators of the epic find out about the polar day and night lasting for six months, about the frozen waters “taking beautiful images” - ice and hummocks? And the apsaras - "shining watercreepers born of a rainbow" - is not it a metaphor for the northern lights?
the conversion of the sacred texts of the Zoroastrians "Avesta" is much older than the Indian epic. Here, too, there is the sacred mountain Hara Berezaiti (High Hara), which arose at the "beginning" of the world in the north "throughout the earth from west to east." The Sun - Hvar constantly walks around it, as well as the Moon and the stars, and the gods live on the top. An important feature: "They have a day - that's what the year is."
In the ancient "builders' texts" inscribed on the walls of the Temple of Horus in the Egyptian city of Edfu, it is said that the pyramids were built by some "enlightened" who arrived from the islands of the northern country of Duat n Ba, which suffered from floods. It was they who became the founders of the Egyptian civilization. The priests of Ancient Egypt described Duat-n-Ba as a place where "the sun of the world hidden from us meets the sun of our world." According to Egyptian scientists, the word "duat" means the red light of dawn before dawn. Such is the dawn at 65 ° latitude just in the North!
There is a lot of information about Hyperborea and Hyperboreans among the ancient Greeks, but all of it is very "conjectural" and revised, since a lot of time has passed since the catastrophe.

Vague ideas about the northern ancestral home were preserved among many peoples. The "land of the blessed" in the Arctic Ocean is mentioned in Scandinavian legends. The Finns, for example, call it "Sarayas" - "Northern House". And the Indians in Vedic times believed that their ancestors came from the country "Jarayos", where the night lasted a hundred days. Nowadays, the polar night lasts so long at 77.4 ° north latitude - in the south of Spitsbergen or in the north of Taimyr.
Hyperborea has not disappeared without a trace
The same Greeks stubbornly placed behind the mountains (Riphean). Let's check the initial data again. Hyperborea should lie far to the north, in the Ocean, among the ice, behind the high mountains stretching from west to east, right under the North Star (Indians and Iranians), where the pivot point of the world (Greeks) is. Astronomical parameters accurately point to the geographic North Pole, but where can we find mountains similar to the Riphean ones?..
In 1948, the Soviet high-latitude air expedition "North" with the participation of the famous oceanographer Yakov Gakkel discovered a huge ridge at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, which was named after Lomonosov. These mountains stretch from the New Siberian Islands to Ellesmere Island across the center of the ocean, near the pole. The length of the mountain system is about 1800 km, width - up to 200 km, height 3300-3700 m, minimum depth above the ridge - 954 m. A year later, another ridge was discovered, named after Mendeleev. So, although at the bottom of the ocean, but at the address indicated by the ancients, there are high mountains right below the Pole Star, stretching from west to east. Here is the "curled up" or "milky" sea, and "water that takes beautiful forms", and "day, lasting a year", and "flaming fires" - the northern lights.
In 2007, scientists explored the Lomonosov Ridge using deep-sea bathyscaphes, took soil samples and, for the first time in history, took pictures of the flooded land. The mountain slopes of the Lomonosov Ridge are cut by canyons, on which traces of wind erosion are clearly visible. This proves that the mountains hidden under water today were once above the surface. And it happened in historical time - about 40-15 thousand years ago (possibly even later).
In favor of the existence of Arctida, and in particular the surface position of the Lomonosov Ridge, is also evidenced by biological data: the study of the fauna and flora of the polar regions.
Birds serve as a kind of indicator of the presence of such solid ground. Returning to their summer nesting sites, they usually follow long-established paths and fly along the island ridges. So, the black goose, according to the observations of E. V. Toll, flies along the "transarctic route", crossing the central Arctic in its polar region. Scientists see this as a time-honored habit of using the old routes of flight mastered in antiquity.
Another proof was provided by the spores of ancient plants found in the Arctic. Among them are tropical forms! A number of artifacts in the circumpolar zone are also widely known, at least proving the presence of human settlements and civilization. But that's not all …
Hyperborea is partially at the bottom of the ocean
International oceanographers and paleontologists have established that in the 30-15th millennium BC. the Arctic climate was quite mild, and the Arctic Ocean was warm, despite the presence of glaciers on the continent. The favorable climate off the coast of the "Milk Sea" was explained by the fact that in those distant times, the North Geographic Pole, together with the ice shell, was located off the coast of Canada and Alaska, and only after the Flood (which radically changed the face of the planet) did it move to its current position, shifting by 15.5 degrees. In addition, before the Flood Arctida was washed by the warm Gulf Stream …
At that time, the peaks of the Mendeleev, Lomonosov and Gakkel ridges rose as a triple barrier in the Northern Ocean on the path of cold and ice to the Novaya Zemlya - Taimyr region. And the warm current of the Gulf Stream reached and went around Novaya Zemlya and reached Taimyr. Because of this, the climate was much milder than the current one. Along the Gakkel ridge, along a series of islands, there was a path from Taimyr to northeastern Greenland. Mercator's maps compiled by him in the middle of the 16th century testify to the recent existence of large islands of the Arctic lands in the northern ocean. AD based on more ancient sources.
Indirect evidence in favor of the existence of an ancient highly developed civilization in the northern latitudes can be found everywhere here powerful stone structures and other megalithic monuments (the famous cromlech of Stonehenge in England, the menhir alley in French Brittany, the stone labyrinths of Solovki and the Kola Peninsula).
After the gradual migration of their ancestors from North to South, the Indians preserved the memory of Mount Meru in almost all sacred books and majestic epic poems (later ancient cosmological views entered the Buddhist canon and images on sacred mandalas). To this day, rituals (including marriage), focused on the Pole Star and the flora of the Hyperborean ones, have been preserved … Despite the fact that they have long lived in southern latitudes.
In the ancient Egyptian language, the pyramid was called mr, which is completely consonant with the name of the sacred Mount Meru (taking into account that there are no vowels in the Egyptian hieroglyphics).
The results of recent studies have made it possible to establish that 12 thousand years ago, the Hyperboreans lived on Novaya Zemlya and the adjacent islands. Novaya Zemlya was then a peninsula. Immediately after the Flood, resettlement began. Descendants of the Hyperboreans reached India by about 7-8 millennium BC.
The legendary Hyperboreans were absolutely real people. Their distant descendants now live in Asia, Europe and Russia.
