"You should not lie shamelessly, but evasiveness is sometimes necessary."
(Margaret Thatcher)
It is not difficult to mislead a person. It's even easier to fool the crowd. Moreover, it is often not required to invent anything special. It is enough to remain silent, or to tell part of the truth. Especially if the lie is heard simultaneously in every classroom of all educational institutions in the world. Then it never occurs to anyone to question the reliability of the information presented. Well, admit it, how often did you disbelieve your history teacher at school? That's it!
Meanwhile, many facts that are considered unshakable, in fact, do not stand the test even by questions posed by a child who has not yet reached school age. The simplest example: - As soon as a person begins to read the first fairy tales in his life by syllables, he asks a natural question: - “Why are the words“disinterested”,“careless”and“permanent”written through the letter“C”, and if they write that someone is missing something, then they write the word "without", through "Z"? And you just clap your eyes and say that the rules are like that.
- Who invented the RULES?
- Scientists. Philologists.
- How then can you call it “rules” if they are completely wrong?
- ???

Common situation? But it is not in vain that it is said that the mouth of a baby speaks the truth. The child has not yet learned to lie. He is not used to living in our world, where lying is the norm. He intuitively feels a lie, and boldly talks about it. True, when he reaches the age when the history teacher tells about the accepted gradation of eras and periods, his brain is already poisoned with lies so much that it does not occur to him to ask a simple question: “How could the Bronze Age come before the Iron Age? After all, bronze is an alloy. And the alloy, whatever one may say, is a more complex technology in comparison with simple metallurgy. First, you can open the smelting of copper or iron, and then you can only think of adding something else to any of the metals in order to get its new properties. But not the other way around”!
Has this thought occurred to you? Indeed, in fact, it is. Figuratively speaking, we are asked to believe that the light bulb was invented before the discovery of electricity.
So, we expose the myth of the "Bronze Age".
It is not clear why, but we do not hesitate, we accept as an axiom that Tin is one of the first metals mastered by man. Its use in alloys with copper determined an entire era in the development of mankind, which was called the "Bronze Age" from the second half of the 4th millennium to the 9th-8th centuries. BC e. It is documented that artistic casting was developed many thousands of years ago. In Egypt, found sculptures, cast from bronze, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC, in China - the 2nd millennium BC.
Also, art casting was widely used in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. The peak of artistic bronze casting fell on the 17th-18th centuries in Western Europe, when any more or less wealthy person wanted to immortalize himself in statues and epic compositions. It's like that. Even a seventh grader is a poor student in the course that bronze consists of at least copper and tin. And then we discover something surprising … If it is such an "ancient" alloy that the ancient Egyptians used it thousands of years ago to process granite, and even superhard diorite, then tin was widely known throughout the world.
And here the first portion of the lie is easily recognized. By the recognition of all the same "historians" the only known ore deposit containing tin - where ??? Answer: - “The Romans called it cassiterides and was mined from the Cornwell mine in England. For reference:
Cassiterite (from κασσίτερος - tin) is a mineral with the composition SnO2. Obsolete synonyms: tin stone, vein tin, river tin, alluvial tin, woody tin. The main ore mineral for tin production. In theory, cassiterite contains 78.62% Sn. It forms separate, often well-formed crystals, grains, veins and solid massive aggregates, in which the grains of the mineral reach 3-4 mm or more.
The chemical stability of Sn, the non-toxicity of its salts and alloys have led to its widespread use in the form of tinplate in the canning industry (32% of production). In addition, tin is used to obtain bronzes, brass, babbits (22%), solders (29%), printing fonts and the chemical industry (15%), in the production of dyes, in the glass and textile industries.
And now a question for "historians": How did cassiterite get from the British Isles to "ancient Egypt, Sumer and China?" What, dry cargo ships were transported all over the world, and all of Russia was filled with them, that all the pagans of the Scythians - Pelasgians fought with bronze swords?
And where did the Japanese samurai get their wonderful "rubolets" from?
Yes, there are various types of bronze, in which arsenic and other elements were used as an additive to copper, but why then was it necessary to compose fairy tales about tin? But even so … Copper and arsenic must first be mined before being melted in one crucible!
Arsenic.
How can you mine copper ore without a tool? How can highly toxic arsenic be isolated from the elements in which it is contained without having the necessary knowledge and technology?
Well, then … To prepare the alloy, you need a vessel for this. What was he made of? Okay … Suppose the first metallurgist melted copper and arsenic in a stone furnace equipped with a pressurization, and then what did he do with the ingot? To make an object from a melt, you need at least a casting vessel and a mold. What were they from?
It turns out exactly the same situation as in the dispute "What appeared first - an egg or a chicken"? Without a tool, you cannot get raw materials and make a tool. If there was no anvil, hammer, and forceps, how could a simple knife, for example, be made?
Our ancestors knew the answer to this question. The sky blacksmith Svarog gave the Russ a tool and taught him how to melt iron. IRON, not bronze! But now they say that Svarog is a fairy-tale character, and no one bothered to invent a new explanation for the emergence of metallurgy.
But suppose that some ancient Roman, who was so brilliant and hardworking that he made the first bronze sword on the island beyond the Channel. Did he run to all the enemies to ring about his discovery? Did the Romans arm all their enemies around the world? Where is the logic? And what do they tell us about the history of bronze in Russia?
In Russia, artistic casting has been developed since the 11th century, when the ebb of bells became art. In the XVI-XVII centuries in Russia there appeared wonderful master casters (Chokhov, Dubinin, Motorins …), who specialized not only in bells, but also in the ebb of cannons.
Motorins at the beginning of the 18th century. How do you like? And why not And the Aircraft and Electric Locomotives were not by chance?
Move on. Maybe besides Anliya, there is still a tin ore deposit somewhere on the territory of Russia? We read my favorite Mining Encyclopedia:
“Almost 95% of all Russian reserves are located in the Verkhoyansk-Chukotka, Sikhote-Alin and Mongol-Okhotsk provinces. The main disadvantage of the mineral resource base in Russia is the large remoteness of tin mining enterprises from processing centers."
Well, how do you like that? Even a child will understand that until the twentieth century, bronze simply could not exist in Russia! But what about swords, household items, ornaments made of bronze? And the bells? What were the veche bells made of in Pskov and Novgorod? Let's look at the most famous one:
Bell Tsar Bell. XIX century. Photo by Scherer, Nabgolts & Co.
In 1730 Empress Anna Ioannovna commissioned to cast it. The height of the bell with ears is 6.24 m, diameter is 6.6 m, weight is about 200 tons !!! According to the analysis carried out in the laboratory of the mine case, the alloy contains copper - 84.51%, tin - 13.21%, sulfur - 1.25%, gold - 0.036% (72 kg), silver - 0.25% (525 kg).
Did they … have such !?
Lifting characteristics of the Liebherr LTM 1200 truck crane.
And here we reveal another portion of the lie: According to legend, the bell broke during a fire, when it was poured with water so that it would not melt. Isn't it funny ?! The melting point of bronze is about 1140 ° C. Can you run with buckets and tubs in such hell? And the combustion temperature of wood cannot be higher than 1090 ° C. Why lie? And in general, why spend on some item that no one needs in the household, as much as 26240kg. priceless tin !?
It is clear that WE did not make the bell. And the Tsar Cannon was not made either, except that the carriage was cast for it. It seems to me that these mega-pieces of iron, which, like the bell tower next to them, were previously called Ivan-Kolokol, and Ivan-Cannon. And we got them from a certain Ivan the Great, who knew what these objects were for and used them for their intended purpose. We can't even imagine how they can be used, so we invented a fairy tale about not calling … I didn't shoot …
What conclusions can we draw? I think you will no longer deny that the production of bronze could not have been established all over the world before the 19th century, if you believe the "historians" themselves, who could not agree with geologists so that they poured tin ore on every square kilometer.
This means that either all the ancient bronze and the entire Bronze Age were fiction, or bronze was known, but then its spread could occur only for one reason - there were no borders, states, principalities, but there was a single powerful centralized country with perfectly functioning transport system and high-tech enterprises.
Where did the myths about medieval barbarism, ignorance, obscurantism come from? I am more and more inclined to believe that we are the descendants of savages who built their civilization on the wreckage of a defeated or destroyed civilization. We just do not know what to do with the artifacts we inherited from the disappeared Gods.
It's like giving a microwave oven to an Indian living in the Amazon. He will be proud of her, but he can only use it as a chest for storing household items. And with us the situation is even worse, we cannot even find applications for what we possess by great chance.
