In the myths and legends of many peoples, similar legends have been preserved that a certain hero, for example, Alexander the Great, or some people, for example, the Mogulls, trying to protect the world from some evil people, drove him into a reservation surrounded by a high wall. The gates in these walls are curiously described, behind which are locked inside, in a certain area, those who threaten everyone outside. These gates have two or three pairs of leaves, located one behind the other, and are cast from different metals.
So, on the way to escape from captivity, the peoples of Gog and Magog, who were driven into a trap by the Macedonian, were first copper gates, and iron gates barred their way to freedom. And the legend says that the captives incessantly lick the copper gates, and most likely have already "licked" through them, and have already begun to lick the iron ones. When the iron gates are poured out, all the world's evil, concentrated behind the stone wall, will burst out, and horror and death will reign on Earth. Read - the end of the world.
It is likely that this is a metaphorical description of something that may actually be some kind of chemical or physical process, and the bimetallic barrier is part of a technical device. But further we will talk about something else.
Do we know of any data on the existence in the past of states completely isolated from the outside world by a high wall? There is no reliable information. There are only traces of the existence in the past of very extended, sometimes up to ten thousand kilometers long walls. But those that completely surrounded some territory have not yet been found. However, this does not mean that they did not exist in the past.
For example, take Yaroslavl. After all, he was surrounded by one giant fortress wall with battle towers. There are no memories left of the walls today. Only individual towers have survived.
Znamenskaya tower. Yaroslavl. Znamenskaya Tower. Yaroslavl.
But Yaroslavl, at least, still exists today. But many peoples and states have disappeared without a trace, not only from the face of the Earth, but have not survived in history. Most often, it turns out that they have not disappeared anywhere, but simply changed their name. So the USSR turned into the Russian Federation, and before that it bore the name of the Russian Empire, and even earlier it was known to the world as the Great Tartary.
You can list them endlessly, but this list will not include the Nikan kingdom …

The existence of Great Tartary in the past today is reminiscent of the name of only one of its hundreds of former provinces - the Republic of Tatarstan with the capital Kazan, and all the names associated with it have mutated in almost all languages, beyond recognition. So, Tartarin from Terra Ascona turned into "Tartarene from Tarascon", in Italy a city with the name Tortoreto survived, Cake (a festive cake that the inhabitants of Tartaria baked specifically to use it as a sacrifice to the Sun) and, of course, Tartar sauce.
And if today we could not restore, at least partially, the true history of our country, then we would not have understood until now where the Tatar Strait came from in the Far East. Now everything is clear with this issue, but there are still a lot of others who require their resolution.
And what could have got to us in memory of the disappeared Nikan kingdom? You will not find a mention of it in any history textbook, and "experts" will tell you that this state existed for only about a hundred years, and simply did not have time to leave any tangible traces of itself, therefore it is not necessary to hammer the heads of schoolchildren and students, insignificant information.
My discovery of Nicania happened quite unexpectedly. It all began with the study of everything connected with the so-called "Goddess of Victory" Nika. Who else, but it became clear to me that the whole story of this winged woman was invented for us from scratch, just like the tales that on the Senate Square of St. Petersburg the "bronze horseman" depicts Peter the Great, and on the Champ de Mars, in the same place, allegedly Suvorov, in the image of the God of War.
Then I remembered the tales of Alexander the Great, and later, while studying the Chronicle of Great Tartary, I discovered a similar description, which most likely formed the basis of the collection of legends about Alexander the Great.
Well, is there any connection between the Goddess Nika and the Nikan kingdom? I could not find an explicit connection, but this does not mean that it does not exist at all. There are simply things that we are not yet able to understand due to lack of information. After all, we cannot explain the origin of the hydronym "Cupid" in the Far East. There are several versions, but historians have not yet reached a consensus.
And no one is trying to explain the origin of the fragments of ancient ruins on the Amur, which are completely identical to the "ancient Greek" ones, which Arseniev and Okladnikov spoke about. And our science doesn't like talking about these artifacts. It is not possible to recognize them as “freaks of nature”, it is not possible to fit into the official historical paradigm, it just remains to be hushed up.
Stones of natural origin (according to the official version) in Primorye. From the book of Mikhail Efimenko Our Babylon.
There are few such artifacts, but they exist. And they allow us to assume the presence of a highly developed civilization in the Far East long before the appearance there of primitive petroglyphs, rock paintings of “primitive man” and his simplest tools.
The point is not that a person has gone through all the stages of mastering technologies, from primitive to complex. And the fact that at the same time, in one place, different civilizations coexisted in terms of the level of development. While blacksmiths forged excellent swords outside the city walls, half-naked tribes of aborigines ran outside the city walls, using digging sticks and stone axes for food.
Then one can rightfully question the assertion of historians that the Nikan kingdom existed only from the middle of the seventeenth century to the middle of the eighteenth. The first mention of him is found in the chronicles of the Amur campaign of a Cossack detachment under the command of Erofei Khabarov in 1649-1653. This is according to the official version, of course. But can this time be considered the beginning of the existence of the Nikan kingdom itself !? Of course no. If I first came to Moscow in 1972, then it would be wrong to say that the capital of our Motherland is not even fifty years old. But our historians use this method of dating.
But let's move on to the topic. It makes no sense to consider the version of Remezov's map, created for primary school students of that time, which I gave at the beginning, as you can see. But there is a more detailed scheme that can shed light on the place where the mysterious Nicania existed.
As was customary in the Russian "Horography" (goro - krapia?), The north is at the bottom, and the south is at the top. Accordingly, east is on the left and west is on the right. Obviously, the drawing was compiled from the words of those who have been there, and Comrade Remezov himself did not travel to those parts. It can be seen throughout. And by distances, based on geographical latitudes, and by the outlines of the Amur River and the coastline of the Pacific Ocean.
Apparently, being guided by this unreliable map, modern alternatives became convinced that the Nikan kingdom was exactly here, on the right bank of the Amur. In addition, the mention on the map that the Macedonian rifle was buried here and the bell left behind, suggested that this wall is the very one behind which Alexander drove the "gogs" with the "magogs".
But we know where the provinces of Gog and Magog were. It is several thousand kilometers north of the Amur, in the north of modern Yakutia and north-west of the Magadan region. And “he buried the guns” does not mean that he literally “hid the rifles under the ground”. From the Russian prints of the eighteenth century it is clear that this expression is identical to that which was accepted among the North American Indians - "to bury the ax of war" meant "to make peace." So, in the Russian language, a similar figurative expression was widespread: - "Rouge zakopati" meant to end the enmity and reconcile. So is it worth looking here? We will see…
In order to increase our chances, I oriented the map in the same way as at Remezov, where the top is south, not north. Here's what happened. As if, it looks like … And if you check with the old European map?
Compare with a real shot …
There is no doubt about it. This is exactly the place. Let's see if there is at least something in this place that looks like the remains of an ancient civilization. You know, there is! Firstly, it is, of course, the Tyrsky cliff with a mysterious column, which was already so old in the nineteenth century that it is impossible not to notice it even in a man-made drawing.

In addition to this artifact, many more interesting things were discovered there at one time, including a bell that the Macedonian bell allegedly left there. But where all this "interesting" is now - a secret sealed with seven seals. Only a stone tablet has come down to us, which is now kept in the Primorsky Museum named after the legendary explorer of Primorye V. K. Arsenyev in Vladivostok.
It is this tablet that is the most convincing argument in the hands of historians who argue that the Nikan kingdom is just a Chinese province in which Buddhism was professed. Actually, Arsenyev devoted his entire life to searching for evidence that the entire Primorye from time immemorial was Chinese. Just like today's archaeologists, most of the excavated stone structures are immediately attributed to the works of "Italian architects."
Well, are there any other clues that allow us to assume that Nikania was exactly here, in the area between the modern Lake Udyl and the Nevelskoy Strait? I found a lot of interesting things. First of all, these are the remains of a wall, very similar to the one on Pidan Mountain.

He is quite a candidate for the wall with which Remezov protected the Nikan kingdom from the outside world. But in this area there is another mysterious object that stands out from the general range of natural ones. This is the so-called "Nevelskoy Hat".
Mount Nevelskoy's Hat.
Interestingly, I could not find the photos taken on the "cap" itself, with the exception of a few similar images:
It is, of course, impossible to judge anything from such photos. But it is clear that the object requires careful study, because it looks too foreign in the middle of a swampy area.
Be that as it may, but the Nikan kingdom must be sought elsewhere. There is a hint in the Remezov map itself. It is necessary to start from a large lake in the west, and focus on the proximity of the strait between the mainland and Japan, as well as the proximity of Korea. Such a place on the map is actually not difficult to determine. You just need to keep in mind that Remezov made a mistake in the latitude alignment, and then everything falls into place:
In addition, there is a direct confirmation found in the legends of the Amur aborigines - the Nivkhs. Here is a fragment of their folk tale "Nikan Bride": -
That's the end of the fairy tale. It is safe to say that we calculated the territory of the former Nikan kingdom correctly. It remains only to find material evidence of its existence. They are partly there, and everything is presented in the same Arsenyev Museum. Their execution is striking in perfection, grace, and suggests that it cannot be the fruit of the work of artisans using simple hand tools. Rather, it is evidence of the use of technologies unknown to us:
Will at least one specialist answer the question of what kind of object is behind the glass? I am sure that it can be explained, and I even guess how. Historians will say that this is a fragment of a decoration of some religious building. Well, what else to tell them! Only once again I will emphasize the incredible quality of the product, which does not fit in any way with the level of technology of the local population of these regions, either in the seventeenth, and even more so "minus in some" century.
And the explanation of the presence of a dinosaur on an object, by the artist's imagination, also raises vague doubts if you know that it is in this region that the famous Dragon City is located:
Small dragon.
Located on a mountain slope above the Chistovodnoye resort, the most convenient approach is from the bridge along the ridge, walking no more than one hour. A sculptural image of a reptile (possibly a dragon). Erect, with a pronounced tail, upper limbs. The height of the sculpture is up to 5 meters. Located on a pedestal. pedestal up to 4-5 meters high. Head on straight neck, pronounced eyes, mouth, nose. The head is similar to that of a lizard.
The neck is processed, the chin and the ovality of the neck are pronounced, the bend of a small hump on the neck. The right paw is brought to the head, the paw with the body form a bowl, the size of the bowl is 50 cm x 50 cm, depth is 15-20 cm, below is the second bowl of the same size as the upper one. The tail is up to 2 meters long, oval, the end of the tail is bent up. The "dragon" stands leaning on its tail and stylized hind legs. On the north side, the body of the "dragon" is reinforced with buttresses and bulges for the strength of the entire sculptural composition.

And it would certainly be unacceptable to forget that it is on this territory that there are stone ruins on Mount Pidan:
Stone * of natural origin *.
Freaks of nature.
* Natural origin *.
* Appeared by itself *.
Can these structures be associated with the Nikan kingdom? Well, what else to connect with? Not with the dynasties of Chinese emperors or the herders of Dauria and Manchuria!
Here we are clearly faced with how history is "cleaned off" layer by layer. The invaders, who are uncomfortable for the people to know about their ancestors and about their country, completely rewrite history, and consign to oblivion those who themselves have already been "freed from the burden of knowledge" by previous invaders. But not a fact. It may well be that those who still remembered the Great Tartary could keep the traditions of the civilization that existed before. But along with these guardians, even the prerequisites for us to now be able to solve these puzzles were destroyed.
But hope, as they say, is the last to die. Moreover, there are still reasons for optimism. Step by step, slowly, but still we constantly manage to unwind this ball. And by how fiercely the accusation of ignorance on the orthodox from science sounds, it can be inferred how close we have come to the solution.
It is possible that they know that there is more to look for. It is no coincidence that the "foreign tourists" have trodden their way here since ancient times, when they decided that with the fall of Tartaria, this vast and mysterious territory no longer had masters. First, the Frenchman La Perouse tried to put columns here, then the Englishman May, and since the beginning of the twentieth century, these mountains and walls have become the object of close attention of the Americans. In the nineties of the last century, they literally lived on Pidan, changing one expedition to another "on a rotational basis." It is not known if they found anything or if they were asked to "leave the establishment."
There are rumors that American scientists literally fled Pidan when they accidentally filmed a man hovering in the sky. Most likely, this is one of the local legends, but who knows! And they were looking for something there! And ours are not looking. Our people say that Pidan is a “natural landscape monument”.
Considering all of the above, it can be assumed with a high degree of confidence that on old maps the Nikan kingdom is displayed on the territory of the modern Ussuri district of Primorsky Krai, between Lake Khanka and the coast of the Sea of Japan. And it was indeed surrounded by a high stone wall, the remains of which still exist today. Further, the version requires confirmation in the form of objects of material culture, which could not but survive. Some of them are available, but misinterpreted. And most of them, undoubtedly, are still waiting in the wings, buried in the soil. But the forces of enthusiasts, in this matter, can not do. The will of the state is needed, which finances academic science.
