“Hidden under that stone is a mighty force, and that power has no end …” - these words begin most of the conspiracies of ancient Russia.
However, none of the numerous researchers could find the Alatyr-stone in real life. And did this legendary stone really exist? We asked the famous ethnographer, writer and historian, author of the series of books "Secrets of Eurasia" Vladimir Degtyarev to answer this question.
Vladimir Nikolaevich, where do you think the term "Alatyr-stone" came from?
- I believe that it arose on absolutely real ground. Some of the "miracles" mentioned in fairy tales, myths, and legends were real objects of the physical world. Nature and time hid them from modern people, but what is it worth to “take a shovel” and see: is it not here that the “white combustible stone Alatyr” is hidden? Indeed, even in the name it is indicated to whom this stone belongs and what it is in … an operational sense. It is clear that we are talking about the God Beel - the Dragon in translation from the Sumerian, which was otherwise called Enlil. Or rather, about his Altar Stone.
There is always something or someone burning on ancient altars. And this tradition is much older than Christianity. Naturally, later all the details of the antediluvian altar rites were lost, and only one vague name remained, but with a capacious addition: "combustible".
That is, it is still an altar, and not some kind of stone?
- Do you know of a white combustible stone that can burn for centuries? I guess not. Undoubtedly, dry alcohol burns, for example, in the form of a white tablet, but this is an invention of chemists … So you need to understand the definition of "white combustible stone Alatyr" as "the altar stone of God Beel." A fire always burned on this altar, never extinguished. At any time of the day or night, a person could come to the Altar of this fierce dragon god and light his little icon lamp from his fire.
By the way, the concept of LA AM PA DA is much more years old than you might think. The figurative translation of this word from the ancient syllabic language sounds like "a small fire in a protected place was conceived from the fire of God's Altar." We have a lot of things left of paganism - not of faith, but of very ancient rituals and customs. It should be said that the concept of "alatyr" is Turkic, ancient, it means "broken, but assembled."

When did the belief in such stones appear?
- Belief in stones was born a long time ago, and not even in this civilization. It is also difficult to say about the age of dolmens and menhirs, our scientists do not have precise equipment that allows them to calculate when the stone was processed in MEN GIR - "human rocket" in translation from ancient Sumerian. It is much easier to make calculations, starting from the time when the pagan faith on the planet was subjected to total destruction. I believe that a very sharp "disbelief" of the peoples of the Earth in the ancient gods occurred at the turn of the X-XI centuries AD. e.
Then there were many natural cataclysms, many peoples moved from their inhabited places and fled, and some even swam away. The settlement of Macronesia and Micronesia happened just then … There are a lot of facts of this order. And all the extraordinary researchers support me in my conclusion. Then suddenly the ideology of faith in resurrection and in the one who will rise up himself and resurrect others was born (was clearly and planned) …
Is it possible to find an alatyr-stone in real life?
- Maybe. He's not alone on the planet. There are several of them in Eurasia alone. The most powerful altar complexes of God Beel (or God Baal) were usually created at the site of the basing of the gods' missiles, in the ancient syllabic language - DO. Until now, in the West, huge Catholic cathedrals are called DO OM. And they were built, as a rule, on the site of ancient pagan altars … Of course, when people were driven to a powerful pagan temple under spears and ordered to break that altar, people broke it. And they laid the stones and fragments under the foundation of the future cathedral.
By the way, the bell that you see on any bell tower was called DO in the ancient written syllabic language. In profile it looks like the head unit of a powerful ancient rocket of the gods - DIN GIR: from there ferocious sounds were heard to people, from there fires of different colors were blazing, orders, prohibitions, thanksgiving came …
What can be the reason for the well-known expression that under this stone “hidden mighty force, which has no end”?
- As I already mentioned, in ancient times altars were erected on the site of a long, sometimes underground (mine) basing of powerful ships of the gods. All people of those years knew this. It also happened that from this place one people left, and another came. But the knowledge remained. Another thing is that, say, the people who believed in the Dragon left, and those who worshiped the Bull came … I talked a lot and for a long time with archaeologists in Siberia. They confirm this fact with curious observations.
The Dragon Altar is rectangular. The altar of the Bull is round. Believers in the Bull simply and neatly knocked off the corners of the dragon's altar and … hid them under the already new altar of the Bull. And about the "mighty power that has no end," I can say that the ancient gods did not place their rockets anyhow. Their ships were stationed at the points of power of the Earth. And then, these places of basing spacecraft (without a crew) were constantly checked … let's say - from somewhere. Maybe from space, or maybe from a pyramid.
The Magi noticed what was happening around the altar during such a check, and knew the days and hours when the ship's equipment was checked. And accordingly, they could demonstrate many miracles to people who gathered at a certain day and hour at the altar.
