Thank you KD for such detailed research! Mind-blowing and mind-twisting! Here are a few thoughts from Russian speaking resources - YouTube channels History Pi and Clues to History. I embedded English subtitles into the content and put on viemo:
Here are key notes:
- History have been faked in large proportions and debunked by Wilhelm Kammeier among many (fake documents without dates or to whom they are written to, printed in mass scales that are taken now as legible documents, many thousands of fake scale-thin coins and Christian artifacts were issued in 18-19 century and large territories were covered with this newly made artifacts)
- Almost all available artifacts earlier than 17 century are fakes and have deliberately inaccurate reprints. We can only guess wat was before 17 century - we have nothing really. We can find some artifacts at great depth using geo radars though or in a Vatican library
.
- The current dating has 1000 extra years (+/- 100 or 300)
- In Russian a sign 1000 and a Cyrillic letter 7 do not represent the year. This two combinations always follow the word "Leto" which means either year or summer, then there is a sign that separates the rest of the date and comes with three digits (written in Cyrillic). That is the date is always written in three digits 123 or 234, not 7113 or 7234. 7000 was just added.
- Moreover, Cyrillic letters for numerals are not authentic Russian numeral system as they were introduced fairly not too long ago and had a system of Arabic decimals (see below). Instead, Russian numbers were based on Glagolitsa with 40 letters and was not based on decimal Arabic system but on the number 40.
- The print 16SS or 1655 on Yefimka's coins is not a year but a probe of silver
- I have come across a topic about fake histories of newly invented in 19th century countries such as Greece, Turkey, Germany. It seems that Greece on old maps has never existed, and Greek people learned Greek language in the early 19th century, originally speaking some different dialects of Turkish. The basis of Greek language was taken from some small rich merchants group in Constantinople and formed into a complete language somewhere in France. So called Old Greek is apparently unreadable and fairly recently minted over some unknown original stone writing that is severely damaged in Turkey. All Antiquity stone original writings are scratched and many have new Old Greek writings of top of the scratched original ones (there is a series of youtube videos from AISPIC group that video-documented it very well in Turkey, as well as in Crimea that has the massive remans of demolished Antique structures that can represent many million-population of Crimea just before the disaster of 17 century. There is literally no empty coastal line without some sort of structures situating one next to the other - a non stop metropolis along a coastline. Similar situation in Turkey, but remains of Antiquity are more preserved than in Crimea).
Why did historians come up with an extra thousand years?
Today we will talk about chronology, about adding 1000 years to the history, about coins, and about how to build the chronology of events if we take out one thousand years from the history. Most people are sure it's year 2021 today. The matter is that on ancient European artifacts, maps, pictures, coins, and houses there are dates written, A (anno) J 464, I 510, I 662 and J 609 and so on. Anno in Latin means a year. Official science does not explain the letters J and I before the dates. And independent researchers usually interpret them as Jesus or Issus in Latin that is so that year comes after Jesus. Since ancient times Russ used the chronology from the creation of the world in which numbers were written in letters. Here are some stone slabs with the dates translated into modern form. It is well known that in 7208 AD someone claiming to be Peter the Great changed the calendar, and as if from that moment we had a 1700-year calculation. But that's not entirely true. In Russian artifacts of the 18th, early 19th century we see dates like 750 years. Many books written with dates without 1000. Coins with the first unit in dates look different from one another. Also, a jug on which instead of 1 in the beginning there is some sort of a bird sign. It turns out that in 18th and 19th centuries, when rewriting the annals, during analysis of artifacts either mistakenly or on purpose, the letters J and I were taken for a thousand. This added an extra thousand years. Fomenko and Nosovsky were the first to talk about it. I will leave a link to a large video study in the description. From all this, it turns out that Jesus was not born 2021 but 1021 years ago. Accordingly, our new era began not 2021 years ago but 1021 years ago. Here are some photos of mid 19th century castle stones from Europe. As we see the first symbol is not 1 but a J. The extra millennia in Europe were apparently added around the middle of the 19th century. In the Russian Empire extra millennia were apparently added in the early 19th century. Once again, I will show you the vase on which the first symbol is not 1 but a bird. Here is a coin of 18 century where instead of unit a birdie and dates on coins of 19 century already habitual kind. Of course, there are 18th century coins with the date 1700 on them written in Cyrillic letters. Looking ahead I want to voice my version that in the beginning of the 18th century 1000 years were added, and then they canceled it. And at the beginning of the 19th century, they added 1000 again. I will now try to give you my observations regarding coins. Scales (type of thin coin) in particular. First, scales allegedly appear in the times of Ivan the Third, and disappears in the times of Peter the Great. That is, for almost 250 years the coin has not changed in any way. Coins were gaunt, miserable, lightweight - weight reached tenths of grams. There are no large denominations of that period. They were also carried in bags and paid by weight. I wonder, what did they do when there were no scales at hand? Scale-coins of that period has the same texts, something like the tsar of all Russia and the name or the great prince with no denomination and date on it. On the reverse side of a scale-coin there is a rider with a spear or sword. Second, why couldn't they have made a normal stamp in 250 years? In those days they could make steel rifled guns, but supposedly they couldn't make them into a stampede. The art of Russian cannon masters of the 17th century was also manifested in the three breech-loading rifled gun (Armstrong Cannon). The barrel has 16 semicircular rifles and is locked by a screw-in winch. Third, the scales are very much found on the surface. According to my version, there have been two floods since that time and coins should be found at a depth of 2-3 meters or more. During the times of Troubles, the Yefimkas appeared, silver thalers with a superscript (1655 or 16SS). The diggers are find them, but they find them very rarely. If you compare the cases of finding scales coins, the Yefimkas are isolated cases. Even I have scale coins, though I'm not a digger. I have chatted with the diggers, and they point out that at bayonet depth of the shovel are coins of different eras, including Ivan the Terrible scales, to 19th century coins and mixed together. Official historians have confused and wrongly consider that on some coins is minted the year 1655. But it's actually a 16SS proof. This means that exactly 16 coins were made from a pound of sterling silver. Sterling silver translates to pure silver. In the British currency, the pound sterling is 453.6 grams, divided by 16, you get 28.35 grams. That's about the same weight as the Tyler of those years. The dates on the coins were very different. For example, 573, 610 and so on. Having mistakenly accepted a silver proof for year of manufacture official historians began to adjust events under this date ostensibly. Yefimkas have appeared in 1655. Independent researchers have repeatedly put forward the version that the coins were literally sown over large areas. That is, coins were made in large quantities and scattered. For example, the weight of one coin is half a gram. And it only takes 500 grams of silver to make a thousand forgeries. And then there's the copper scales. Remember that during all the wars a huge amount of counterfeit money was thrown into Russia. The enemies spared no effort or resources to do so. Don't forget the rewriting of history. Diggers also find large quantities of religious paraphernalia. I quote, in small villages we dig out them in large quantities from shallow depths. Therefore, these objects were either thrown by villagers or these objects were thrown on purpose. Here is a real coin of that period. Ruble of Alexei Mikhailovich, which is not in any comparison with the primitive scales of those years. Compared to the primitive scales, this is simply a work of art. This coin is much more similar to the usual coins, as it has the date and denomination, in addition to the inscriptions and the image. But there is one small nuance. Only 34 of these coins were found in the 60s of the last century. There are now about 40 of them found. This is not a medal and not the award mark, and the unit of monetary circulation which should be made by thousands and tens of thousands of pieces. The question that begs itself. And where the rest of the coins? What do you think should have happened for thousands of coins minted for monetary circulation in a vast country to almost completely disappear, except for 40 pieces? I think similar coins should be from the times of Ivan the Terrible and other rulers. Either they haven't been found yet, or they've been found but not many. They may not be shown to us for a number of reasons. For example, the quality of workmanship contradicts the official story. They show symbols that contradict official history such as pagan gods. I think that the real coins and artifacts of that era are deep underground. To find them would require expensive equipment. Not even a depth and metal detector, but GPR. For those who like official history so much. Scales could indeed be a means of payment. But for a limited period of time - several decades after the catastrophe, but by no means for 250 years. The whole 19th century in Europe was a mess. Tribes of feral Frenchmen live near Paris. All countries in Europe do not have a single national language. Each area speaks its own dialect. Cities are burning in Europe and the United States. But that's a different story, which has already been dealt with on the channel. Links are in the description below the video. Let's break down an example of how to deal with dates if we remove an extra thousand years. Here's an atlas from 1822. The page is dedicated to the Amazons. The first Amazon conquest was of the Crimea and the adjoining regions of Ukraine and Russia. Across the river Don live married Amazons. The second conquest of the Amazons, is the Caucasus mountains. Here we can see the date where the story with Alexander of Macedonia caught them from 334 to 324 BC. If anyone doesn't know, the end point of alexander Macedonian's campaign was India. We have a date of 334 and 324 BC. On modern chronology it turns out 2021 plus 334 equals 2355 years ago. If you remove the extra thousand years, it turns out that the Amazons met with Alexander of Macedonia not 2355 years 1355 years ago. 334 years before Christ. By the way, the road of Alexander of Macedonia is still preserved in India. Mileage poles with a rider on them. And any local resident will gladly tell you about Iskander. So, the Hindus renamed the name alexander in their own way. One more fact that Alexander of Macedonia lived not so long ago, says the following fact. In Pakistan live the Kalashi people. And our Macedonian acquaintance spoke with them in the Macedonian language. The fact that the people themselves have not disappeared or forgotten their native language, suggests that it was not so long ago. There is a letter from Anna Yaroslavna, the Russian queen from France, to her father Yaroslav the wise. Anna Yaroslavna was born about 1024. Immediately translate the date and we get 24 years from the birth of Christ. At that time all Rus was literate. Anna the youngest of the three daughters of Kiev's Prince Yaroslav Wise, the spouse of the French King Henry the First and Queen of France. So a very interesting letter from Anna Yaroslavna. Judging by the letter and having deducted thousand years from a campaign of Macedonian up to described events has passed not 1350 years and 350 years. That is to say, at that time closer and more real events like Ivan the Terrible for us. Back to the Amazons. The Amazons were contemporaries of the Scythians, lived side by side and even fought against each other. Officially, the science does not say anything about the date of disappearance of Amazons, but speaks of the date of disappearance of the Scythians - the fourth century AD. If we take away an extra thousand years, it turns out that the Scythians and Amazons disappeared not in the 4th century AD but in the 14th century. That is only 600-700 years ago. By the way, the legend of the Amazons has survived and is still used today in the south Russia. As the words Amuzhenko is a woman whose husband died. A muzh which means no husband. By the way, it's not really clear how to date from year zero to year 1000. Let me try, though. For example, date of the establishment of Moscow 880 year. It turns out 120 B.C. - on new chronology. At any chronology we get 1141 years ago. The only reinforced concrete foundations in this mess of dates and calendars is the chronology from the creation of the world. Despite of all wars, floods and shocks this chronology has been kept up to now. And all the old dates are done through the chronology from the creation of the world. That is, one must find the dates in the annals as from the creation of the world and compare them. I want to show you how in the 19th century the dates of the modern form and dates of the chronology from the creation of the world were recorded simultaneously. This is how different chronologies were duplicated in the 20th century. Here I translated the inscription about the burial of Yaroslav the Wise. He is buried in St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev. Got the date zelo ferd ksi vedi = 6562 summer/year . The modern year turns out to be 1054. Here I translate the date on the lid of Fyodor Ivanovich's sarcophagus. zemlya rzi zelo. It turned out to be 7106 summers/year = 1598 the modern year. Here is the lid of Ivan the Terrible's sarcophagus date: zemlya cherv' vedi = 7092 summer = 1584. As I have told earlier, if to remove an extra thousand years a time interval from the current date to the event of interest in the past does not change. Dates of a modern kind are nothing but translation of the original chronology to a modern kind. I think that the basis for making chronology should be chronology from the creation of the world. For convenience, I suggest considering a scale like this. Now let's discuss the chronology of events of the 13th-16th century. The dates here won't always be the same. I think the official date may have been written retroactively and made up again . In reality they may differ by plus or minus 100-300 years. Let me list the key dates of that period. Steel breech-loading rifled guns were made in the 15th-16th centuries. The Scythians officially disappeared in the fourth century AD. Remove an extra thousand years and you get that it was the 14th century. And we get full continuity of generations and eras. I suggest to consider such version of events. Scythia which was in territory of modern Russia was lost in interesting us dates. The survivors from the territory of the Ural region of Siberia and modern Kazakhstan moved to the territory of the European part of Russia. After the destruction of Scythia - the remaining part of the empire became known as Rus. And Russ means a bright place illuminated by the sun. After that planetary catastrophe, when the tilt of the Earth's axis changed, the territory of the European part of Russia was illuminated much more than the territory of Siberia. For some period of time the North Pole has shifted to the territory of Yakutia and has frozen the earth to a great depth within the radius of 2.5-3 thousand kilometers where it was impossible to live. People left those places. After centuries, life gradually began to return to normal. Scythian gold was found in Siberia in the 18th century, but this civilization was already forgotten and unknown. By the way, the Sarmatians and the Scythians and Scythia were the name given to the Russ by the Western historians of those years. Herodotus, for example. In the last video I said that there was a sea on the territory of the European part of Russia. They wrote about it in the old textbooks, by the way. I also told you about the cold snap in Siberia that caused people to leave for the south and west. The only thing to do is to understand the chronological order of when the sea was frozen and when Scythia perished. Was it all at once or at different times? Mass construction of monasteries and kremlins in Russia officially was in 13-15 centuries. Three years without summer at the turn of 1600. Summer did not come due to which there was a crop failure and famine. It happens from dust in the atmosphere and the dust can be from nuclear war or volcanoes. Tibi Dam in Spain was officially built between 1579 and 1594. Height 42 meters width 34 meters. The construction of such a dam required engineering calculations of machinery and equipment at the level of at least the beginning of the 20th century. There is no way the dam could have been built in that officially backward Middle Ages with farm wagons, knights and peasants. By the way, the necessity of the construction of the dam in those officially backward years is absolutely unclear. What did the knights and peasants plan to use the dam for? Dark Middle Ages in Europe official history dates from the 6th to the 10th century. Remove an extra thousand years and we get that the Dark Ages were actually from the 16th to the 20th century. Beginning of colonization of North America 1492. Colonizers have been attributed to various cities of the world and have found buildings with the columns of what this phenomenon was called colonization. That is, the stately building with columns was already standing. Then we were told tales that these buildings were allegedly built by colonizers. Although in reality, parasites do not create anything, but only use and adapt for themselves what is already there. It has already been suggested that prior to colonization there was a single ancient civilization that was building all over the world in antique style buildings. Then, due to planetary catastrophe, that world civilization disintegrated into separate countries. Internecine warfare is a survivor's war for resources. Before colonization, gold was used to make toys and jewelry. And it was both in America and Scythia of Russ. And then, after some events, gold became urgently needed by all. And they started to hunt for gold and kill each other. Contemporaries of those events were, in Spain - Charles the First and Philip the Second, in Russia - Ivan the Terrible, in England - Elizabeth the First. I will tell you about the connection between the above historical figures some other time.
The real chronology of Russia. The secret of the Swedish archives.
I'm going to tell you an interesting story today. More precisely about the present chronology, namely what year Russia was in 1615 year either 125 year, or 7125 years from creation of the world. All this history began with an article of the beginning of the 20th century, which was written by Figarovsky. In this article a very interesting historical document was presented and analyzed in detail. Namely, the charter of the Novgorod boyars to the Moscow boyars; composed in January 1615. We will not go into detail today about the content of the charter. In short, the whole point was to convince the government of Mikhail Feodorovich Romanov to conclude peace with Sweden. So, this Novgorod Charter is interesting not for its content, but for the dates it contains. For example, the year of lord 1019, the year of lord 123. That is these dates do not correspond neither European chronology from Nativity of the Christ, nor Russian from creation of the world. In the charter there is a date 123 years of lord; under the Russian chronology, it is summer 7 thousand 123 from creation of the world. By the Swedish it would be 1613. It turns out rather strange situation. As if in Novgorod used another chronology. In the Novgorod charter represented not one strange date, but many. Therefore, the version with a misprint does not make sense. I talked about this in detail in the last video. So, this charter, and the dates it presents are very interesting to me. Perhaps we have an example of a real chronology, which existed in our lands before the beginning of the 18th century. To check it naturally need the original of the Novgorod charter. Indeed, in Figarovsky's article, even though the full text of the charter is given, it is already a translation to modern Russian letters.
And of course, the person who copied this charter from the original in the 19th century could have made a mistake and simply recorded the dates incorrectly. And today we wonder what is the year 123 was? When you're dealing with the Russian chronology before the 18th century, it's easy enough to make a mistake. In fact, in Russia before the reform of Peter the Great in 1700 the so-called Arabic or Indian numerals were not used. Our ancestors wrote down dates and necessary numbers with letters of the so-called Slavic alphabet. In order not to confuse numbers and words in the text, a special sign of titles was used. This is the upper wavy line above the letters. The topic is complicated, so I'll give you all the nuances. So, to separate in the text the letters that were part of the word and the letters that had numerical load, above the letters a wavy line was drawn. This is like in this example. If there is no wavy title line above the letter, it denotes a sound. If a wavy line appeared at the top, then such a letter was read as a number. At first sight it looks somehow very complicated and incomprehensible for a modern person. But in fact, it works well and from the examples below you will soon learn how to read the numbers in ancient texts. This is how, for example, the number 863 of ancient texts looks like. Three letters with a wavy line above them. With the help of this table we can now decode this number. The first letter goes like this and stands for 800, the second letter in the form of a snake is called ksi and stands for the number 60.
The third letter is glagol'. That number is 3. Add these three numbers and you get 863. A little unusual, but it is possible to use. But Slavic numeral system had exceptions. On the example of the number 863 we see that the record goes from left to right from larger to smaller. First 800 then 60 then 3. But the numbers from 11 to 19 were recorded a little differently. If at the beginning of 863 the numbers go from greater to lesser. That is, hundreds first, then tens, and then one. In numbers from 11 to 19 it is the other way round. First the one and then the tens. In general, we write as we count - 14 4 and 10. First we write the letter 4, then the letter 10. Numbers from 21 and higher were written according to the usual rules - first tens then ones. I'll leave a link where you can see it all visually. So, the ancient arithmetic lesson is over. Now back to the main topic, namely the search for the original of the ancient Novgorod Charter. It doesn't seem hard to do. In his article, Figorovsky left a link to the archive. It sounds like this: G.A.F.C.E. "Swedish Affairs," 1615 number 2. I think we're in the home stretch. Now let's type the acronym G.A.F.C.E. into the search engine. and find out where the original Novgorod charter is kept. But here we are in for a bit of a disappointment. Google does not find archives with such a designation for some reason. It seems to be an abbreviation of tsarist archives. It is not known what they were renamed into. So, it's all gone. And the original interesting charter is not available to us.
But there are Swedish archives that have documents from the period that interest us, with interesting date spellings. The most interesting thing is that Swedish archives contain not just one or two documents written in Novgorod in the early 17th century, but hundreds of such documents and handwritten books by the Swedes. Not to be unsubstantiated now I will tell you an interesting story about the Novgorod Occupation Archive, which is kept in the Swedish State Archives in Stockholm. Isn't that a strange name - Novgorod Occupation Archive? The first association is that it pertains to the events of World War II. But it's not. This archive was taken out of Novgorod at the beginning of the 19th century. Hundreds of handwritten Novgorod books lie in repositories in Sweden. Here's how it all went down. Since 1611 till 1617, even after signing of armistice in Swedish-Polish war, Swedish occupation of Novgorod and Swedish-Russian war continued, which ended with signing of Stolbovsky peace treaty. In 1617 during the evacuation of Swedish Occupation Administration after signing peace treaty. The Swedish voivode/governor Jacob Gelardi ordered the documents of Novgorod Government Office to be collected and sent to Ingermanland to the Swedish territory. At the end of the 17th century, the documents were transferred to the Swedish State Archives in Stockholm, where they are still preserved in a collection called the Novgorod Occupation Archives. It is quite a strange situation, the Swedes in the early 17th century for some reason take out handwritten books, written not in Swedish. What is interesting about these books? May be some rare scientific treatises or maps? Not at all it is usual documents of the Novgorod Government Office written to Russian. Let's read what the Novgorod Occupational Archive consists of.
The archive consists of two parts which differ in character and origin. The first part consists of 141 books and contains documents compiled by various commissions of Novgorod during the occupation. These are mainly business registers of documents to be sent to Moscow archives. They are represented by the receipt and expenditure books of various institutions, the customs house, the court yard, the taverns, as well as fur-trades, census, sentinel books, and other books. The second part counts 368 pages of different size. In this part are collected purchasing records and judicial files and many others. All reflect the daily correspondence between the people and the central city authorities. As we see, Swedes took out of Novgorod various clerical rubbish in Russian. There is a reasonable question why the Swedes needed these documents. After all, it would have been much easier to throw them in place or burn them. After all, these documents do not contain any secret knowledge or classified information. This is the usual economic correspondence in Russian. To take out these documents to the Swedes would make sense only in one case if the Swedes spoke Russian, and the Novgorod lands were their native territories. We will not look for the meaning of this act so far, because in looking for it we will have to recall the lamentation of Charles, King of Sweden in the Russian language, and other Russian documents of the Swedish Kingdom. So we're moving on to the most interesting, namely to review the originals of old Novgorod books, respectively, I will not translate them today. We will search only the annals of the dating
These books are written in Old Russian or a similar language, and do not contain Arabic numerals. The page numbering seems to have been done later by the Swedes. Also, on the first pages there is sometimes an introduction in Swedish. And these are the odd dates of summer/year 611. This is quite strange because if the Swedes wrote this introduction, as can be seen in the text below the date, why did they write the word 'summer/year' in Russian? Under this text is a more classic date-1615. I think it was put much later together with the page numbering in Arabic numerals. Here is another interesting Swedish record with a strange date AN 614. But these dates today we will not discuss due to time constrictions. Just to clarify, these Swedish inscriptions are sometimes found on the first pages of Novgorod books. And here we finally open the text, written in Russian letters. In the upper right corner, there is an Arabic numeral 3. But don't let it confuse you. It was added much later by the Swedish archivists. We are interested in the date that opens the text. It starts with the words 'summer/year', and then there are numbers written in letters. This table will help us in deciphering it. Though is was made for Russian coins but completely corresponds to the Russian numbers. The first digit corresponds to this sign 7000. The other one to 100. The third one looks like 20. The fourth digit is 3. The date sounds like summer/year 7123. Let's take the next book and find the Russian date at the beginning. It is written similarly to the previous one. When we decode it, we get summer/year 7123.
It seems that we have not found anything new in the Novgorod books. The date is written as we were taught the year 7123. The discovery did not take place. But it's not really that simple. I analyzed about a hundred books of the Novgorod Occupation Archive and found a rather strange pattern. If the date begins with the word summer/year then the first digit begins with this sign which means 7000. And when read all together it merges 7 thousand 123rd year, which corresponds to the official interpretation. But the dates in the Novgorod annals not always begin with a word summer/year. Here is the 14th book in the first series of the Novgorod archive as an example. Here we see the date sounding like rtsy, kako, glagol'. That is the 123rd year and there is even the month of December. In book 21 we see a date of three digits and also without the word summer/year. On the next page we see an entry from last year 119. In the 37th volume we see a three-digit date of 114. Here's another 123. These dates can be shown endlessly. I've looked through a hundred Novgorod books and everywhere the situation is the same. If the date begins with the word summer/year, then this character is necessarily added. Scientists say that number is 7,000. But if the word summer is not in front of the date, we will not see the sign of 7000. Very strange situation Novgorodians in the documents could specify date 7123 year, and simply 123rd year. And the word summer/year is always spelled before 7000.
If the word summer/year is not spelled, the date always looks shorter. It can be theoretically explained this way - in the beginning of the book on the first page Novgorodians always wrote the full date - 7123. And then, in order not to strain further in the text, the sign of 7000 was omitted. I think this is a good theory, except that the word 'summer/year' and the sign 7000 in the dates were put not only on the first page of books, but also in the middle. Sometimes books began with a short date - without the word summer and the sign 7000. And here's what I think, if the sign of 7000 always comes after the word summer/year then maybe this sign has a completely different meaning. It might not be 7000, but something else. After all, we have long and short dates in the same book. So maybe the long dates are misunderstood and this sign denotes something else in the date. After all, how do we know how to read Russian numbers correctly? Who gave us this information? Told us about it according to historians this character - Kirik Novgorodian who lived in the middle of 12 century and wrote a teaching about numbers. An ancient Russian treatise on the calculation of time, the oldest Russian work on mathematics, chronology and Easter reckonings. All of it is in this book, all in detail, how to accurately count the time from the creation of the world. Kirik's work is divided into 27 sections. In sections one through five teach the number of years, months, weeks and daily hours elapsed from the creation of the world to the year 6644. As well as the methodology of their calculation. Kirik's works are very popular and the system of Slavic numerals is based on them.
All this is certainly good but there is one But. Kirik lived in the 12th century and none of his manuscripts has survived. Historians have learned about his work from the manuscripts of the 15th century, which also probably have not survived. It turns out that we have a great system of Russian numerals and it works almost perfectly. The only two important numbers that fail are the number one thousand, and the number seven thousand. What is interesting about the number one thousand. This sign is found on old coins before 1721. Except here's the thing; The sign of 7000 as well as the sign 1000 minted on the coins selectively. And so, in order to make all of history go away, you don't have to seize and destroy all of the books. It is enough to change the interpretation of one sign. In our case the sign is 7000. Just give to it a different meaning. Maybe this 7000 in relation to the date was inseparable from the word summer/year. Maybe it meant the beginning or the end of summer/year. Now it is difficult to say what it was. But the confusion of dates in the Novgorod books clearly catches the eye. We have long dates after the word summer/year, and short dates before which the word summer/year is not used. So, it is quite possible that 1615, in the present chronology is 123rd or 125th. And the whole human history is much shorter than we think.
The Mystery of Russian Numbers. The hidden history of Russia.
Today we will continue our discussion. We will also touch on other no less mysterious topics - how many days there were in a week, what percentage of ancient scriptures can be trusted, and what the numerical system of the Russian lands was in the 14th century. How did numbers sound in oral speech in Russia until the 18th century? Before the 18th century, numbers in Russia were written in Cyrillic letters. Arabic/Indian numerals were practically not used. I will deliberately underline Arabic/Indian, because the history of Arabic numerals is no less complicated than the history of Sanskrit. No one knows exactly where they came from and there will be a separate video about that. There are certain rules according to which almost any number can be written in Cyrillic letters. How these numbers sounded in oral speech, we do not know. So, it would be logical to assume that numbers in spoken language should sound a little different from what Arabic numbers sound like. Why different? It is simple - until the 18th century Arabic numbers were not used in Russia. And if numbers were not used it means that the inhabitants of Russia simply did not know about them and could not sound them in oral speech. Here is a very simple example. Take the number 30. Now we verbally pronounce this number as 30 because we are using Arabic numerals today. We spell 'thirty' and pronounce 'thirty'. Now I'll repeat my very simple question. How the number 30 sounded in oral speech until the 18th century. Russians did not yet know Arabic numerals and wrote the number 30 as a letter/character which sounds 'people'(lyudi). And that's my point. Numbers in Russia were written down by the Russian alphabet, but for some reason in oral speech the Arabic pronunciation was used. Or rather, we're told that it was used. The topic is complicated. Historical science tells us that Arabic numerals came to us in the 18th century, but in fact in oral speech Arabic numerals were used earlier. The numbers were written in alphabetical order, but the decimal system, which is based on Arabic numerals, was widely used in oral speech before 18th century. And therein lies the major paradox. Till 18 century Arabic numbers in Russia should not exist as Peter the First has introduced them only in 1700. In spite of this, the Arabic system is used extensively in spoken language before 1700. We can argue how could I know how numbers sounded in oral speech before the 18th century? But if we look at the documents of the 16th century, we will see numbers written not only with special letters/characters but also written in capital letters as in this Novgorod charter. There is an important note here. The number 30 is written in letters. I will not discuss the authenticity of this charter now. The charter is shown as an example of how numbers could be written in capital letters, that is exactly as they sounded in spoken language. Written down 30 means verbally it sounded like 30, almost like modern 30. But this is the Arabic decimal system. Such uppercase numbers are very common in the documents of the 16th-17th century. Arabic decimal system in Russia did not exist at that time. But for some reason in oral speech it was used. Think about it. And now we get to the more interesting question. What was actually the system of numbers in Russia? At first glance, to answer this question is very simple. Numbers were written down by special letters of Cyrillic alphabet and in oral speech they sounded like Arabic numbers for some reason. That's all true, but it's a later writing system -appeared in the 14th century at best. Why in the 14th century? The Cyrillic alphabet was created by Cyril and Methodius back in the 9th century. Of course, they created it. Only we have one small problem. Namely, the complete absence of original letters, manuscripts up to the beginning of the 14th century. All those historians tell us about, for example, the manuscripts of the 10th century - they learn from the re-printed manuscripts of the 14th century. This topic was very well covered by a simply brilliant but little-known to the general public man Wilhelm Kammeier. There's almost no information about this man. Even his exact date of birth is unknown. He was born between 1890 and 1900. He studied law and at the end of his life worked as a schoolteacher in Thuringia, where he died in the 50s in complete poverty. So, the humble teacher from Thuringia has done a tremendous job. He analyzed thousands of historical documents and found a very strange pattern. Since he was trained as a jurist, Wilhelm Kammeier looked at ancient charters as a lawyer. And that's what the lawyer saw. Many official letters and deeds lack not only the date and place of issue but even the name of the addressee. Many acts of land donation have no date and from the legal point of view have no effect. Wilhelm had been a notary in Hannover before the Second World War, so he knew very well how to draw up a legal document so that it could not be disputed. And it can be legally enforceable. Kammeier began his study of ancient charters with the trivial observation that any legal deed of gift must contain information about who, what, when, and to whom it was presented and where it was made. Letters of commendation in which one of the intended columns, date or name, has been left blank lose their validity. Old legal documents kept in libraries often do not meet these original criteria. There are some scrolls without date or with clearly later restored date, with incomplete date, missing year or day. Or the dates are written outside of the corresponding time writing manner. Often, the same day dated charters were signed at different points on the map. At the analysis of places, persons, and dates of writing of letters are absurd. The rulers do not have a capital in which they more or less permanently stay. Rulers continually travel from place to place, sometimes in lightning speed over vast distances in order to bestow their charters on more and more subjects. Moreover, all German kings do it regardless of age, health status and ordinary human logic. The German emperor more than once managed to be in different cities far away from each other at the same time. Quite often a gift does not contain the name of the person to whom the benefits are granted. In some time periods, up to half of all deeds of gift are anonymous. Of course, Kammeier was not the first to discover forgeries by examining ancient documents. Entire collections of documents had been declared forgeries long before his time. The merit of Wilhelm Kammeier is that he discovered the full extent of the falsification of history. It revealed the systematic and massive work of entire generations of falsifiers in the service of the Catholic Church and individual feudal rulers. These forgers destroyed countless numbers of truly original documents, replacing them with fakes. Often the old text was scraped off and a new one was written on the old parchment, which thus, according to the late medieval counterfeiters, was a confirmation of the antiquity of the forgery. Sometimes an ancient document has been subjected to only minor alterations designed to distort the original meaning. Kammeier believed that the main purpose of this long and massive campaign to falsify historical documents was to suppress pre-Christian history and lengthen Christian history and rewrite almost all of the achievements of the pagan era. In addition, there was a huge demand for legal proof of tenure rights from the new feudal overlords. Only recently they had taken rights away from the legitimate rulers of the Gentiles. According to Kammeier the history till 1300 cannot be restored. As all earlier documents have been destroyed and replaced with forgeries. In 1926, Kammeier completed his 292-page manuscript entitled The Universal Falsification of History. However, for many years he was unable to find a publisher. It was not until 1935 that the manuscript was published. Official science reacted to Kammeier's work naturally critically. One of the critics was Professor Gaimkel. Here is what he wrote - the critic must of course first and foremost be concerned with a positive historical picture, albeit a fictional one from beginning to end. If we see that in the end the whole medieval historical picture falls apart and in its place there is a dark spot. The famous German professor in principle agrees with the work of Kammeier. He considers it well founded. The only thing that scares the professor is the complete breakdown of medieval European history. Here is what Kammeier answered - it is not my fault that the medieval history not only of Germany but also of the whole old world was to a great extent falsified. It is not my fault that the literary and documentary sources of this era have been falsified. My fault lies only in the fact that I have uncovered this systematic falsification, and with this new historical truth of falsification of the history of the Middle Ages will have to learn to live a new generation of historians. Truth doesn't need to be allowed to exist. Once realized, truth acquires the power of the elements. A smart man does not fight against it, he tries to turn it to his advantage. Historians were unable to refute Kammeier's writings and conclusions and they chose another effective tactic - silence. The works of Kammeier were never mentioned again, as if they did not exist at all. After the end of the Second World War, Kammeier could only find a job as a teacher in the GDR. As soon as conditions permitted, he resumed his research on ancient documents. He hoped that since the GDR was a socialist country whose leaders were building a new social order, they would be interested in an unbiased look at early Christian documents. But that wasn't the case. As soon as Kammeier brought his critical analysis of early Christian documents to the attention of historians, he was immediately attacked. He lost his job. His manuscripts were confiscated and long considered lost. All his real estate was nationalized. And he and his family were condemned to a starving miserable existence. That's it, no matter what country you live in socialist or capitalist you have no right to criticize history. Kammeier died of starvation in the GDR in the 1950s. No one has ever been able to refute his conclusions. Let's return to the main topic - the history of real Russian numbers. This topic is very complex and confusing. Its roots go back to the 12th century. I didn't tell you about Kammeier for nothing. According to his research, we have no original documents written before the 14th century. And in fact, the history of Russian numbers goes back to the 12th century, which in fact is a big muddy history spot. But it's not all bad. We got a little lead. Look at the later system of Russian numbers is based on the Cyrillic alphabet. Who originally came up with it is unknown. There is certainly a folk German tale (German historians falsifiers) about Cyril and Methodius. But there are no real documents to support this tale. We know even less about the history of the origin of the Glagolitic alphabet. Scientists have only recently recognized the fact that Glagolitic letter is older than Cyrillic. The origin of Glagolitic alphabet is still a matter of dispute. Attempts to make Glagolitsa closer to Greek shorthand, ancient Jewish, Coptic and other writing systems didn't conclusive results. Glagolitsa, is not based on any known writing system. The Cyrillic alphabet is a bit simpler. It is similar to the Byzantine charter letter. If the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets came from unknown. How scientists were able to determine that Glagolitsa is older. It's simple. In Cyrillic texts there are errors indicating that the text was copied from the Glagolitic original. There is no evidence that verbatim manuscripts could have been copied from Cyrillic manuscripts. The parchment of the Middle Ages was quite expensive so it was not uncommon to write a new text of an old book. The old text was washed or scraped off and a new one was written in its place. Such manuscripts are called Palimpsest. Several palimpsests are known to contain Cyrillic text written on top of washed-out Glagolitic. But there are no Glagolitic texts known written on washed-out Cyrillic. As a result, a system of Russian numbers was built on the basis of the Cyrillic alphabet by scholars of the 17th century. This system was created by a person who knew Arabic numerals well. To be more exact, he didn't know them, but grew up in the system of Arabic numerals. And so, we have a very strange system of numbers. It's sort of a native Russian system. The numbers are written in Cyrillic letters. It seems to be authentic. But there's just one thing that's confusing. Numbers written in the Cyrillic alphabet are indistinguishable from the Arabic system. It is as though the modern person who has grown in Arabian numerical system was given the task to think up system of unique Russian numbers. So he made them up. To each letter he gave a numerical value. It seems that the original Cyrillic system was obtained, but in fact the whole system is based on Arabic numerals. A few obscure letters such as darkness (t'ma) and legion (legion) were added for beauty. And here we have a new number system. In Glagolitic, you can also write numbers in letters. And it's even a bit more convenient than Cyrillic. And here's what I think of it all. According to my personal estimated judgment, the Cyrillic alphabet in Russia appeared not in 10 centuries as historians on the basis of German fairy tales tell, but much later in 16 or 17 century. Cyrillic numeral system was created by the person well familiar with the Arabian system of arithmetic. And the Cyrillic alphabet is not the real writing of our ancestors. With Glagolitic it is much more complicated. Scientists have determined that with the help of the letters of the Glagolitic alphabet it is possible to write numbers. They believe that the 28 letters/characters of the Glagolitic alphabet have numerical meanings. Scientists have somehow deciphered this. It's not clear how. But in principle I almost agree with their conclusions. Only I consider that not 28 letters in Glagolitsa had numerical value but 40 letters. Most scholars agree that there are 40 letters in the Glagolitic alphabet. And this is a very interesting number which brings us to another very interesting and inexplicable expression - forty-forties. That's what Marina Tsvetaeva wrote about Moscow in her poem - Moscow's superiority and the whole forty churches laugh at the arrogance of the tsars. "Forty of forties" is an ancient Russian number. Forty was used by the Novgorodians to count the furs. Squirrels were counted not by tens, but by 40. It's uncomfortable at first glance. But if to take into account the fact that the Glagolitic alphabet has 40 letters and each letter is corresponding for a number, then everything is logical. We count up to 40 in Glagolitic and then count the number 40. It seems like a brave conclusion, but for some reason that in Russia until the 20-th century, many measures were tied precisely to the number 40. A barrel equals 40 buckets. 40 pails equal one bucket. One 'pood' equals 40 pounds. And also, the number 40 fits very conveniently into the calendar. It is hypothesized that there were 8 or 9 days in the week before 17 centuries in Russia. And if we have an 8-day week, then a month of 40 days is almost perfectly aligned for it. And each day of the 40-day month we can denote by one letter from the Glagolitic alphabet, because in the Glagolitic alphabet all letters could have a numerical meaning. Here of course I may object because there is already a very famous hypothesis of the nine-day Slavic week. The 9-day week hypothesis is also very interesting. A week lasts 9 days and it also fits very well in the calendar. In one year, we have 40 weeks that is 4 seasons of 10 weeks. Even the names of months are not needed in this system, only the names of the seasons. Each season lasts 10 weeks, i.e., 90 days. A year lasts 40 weeks. And if you remember the Russian tradition of saying goodbye to the deceased, we have 9 and 40 days. For some reason everything in ancient Russia is tied to the number 40. The number of squirrels, the number of churches, the measure of volume and weight. The 9 day week before the advent of Christianity was in the territories of Lithuania. Here's what I think about the real ancient numbers. Glagolitic alphabet was used in our lands until the 15th century, with 40 letters. Each letter corresponded to a number from 1 to 40. What those numbers were called, we can only guess today. Of all the Glagolitic alphabet, only one number 40 has survived. And 40 measured the number of squirrels, sables, churches and weeks.
The Mystery of the Seventh Summer. Present chronology of Russia. Part 2.
In opinion of historians at the end of 10 centuries Russia has accepted Christianity. At the same time the Roman calendar, known as the Julian calendar, was introduced. It was based on the creation of the world dating, which allegedly occurred 5508 years before our era. This date one of numerous variants from creation of the world has been accepted in 7-th century in Greece and was applied by orthodox church since. I've just started researching the official version and I have a few questions in my head. Really, chronology from creation of the world came to us from Greece - from the country which till 19 centuries did not have history, and Greeks did not know Greek language. Anyway, the fake stories of Greece don't interest us today. Today we're going to look at more interesting things. We shall look at the history of the first coins of ancient Russia. According to historians, Russian lands were located far from busy trade routes, so the natural exchange of goods flourished here. Sometimes, however, in Russian lands appeared foreign currencies. But according to historians, the natives did not use them for trading. The 'metal roadwheels' were used for a more practical purpose. They were used as parts to make jewelry. The most ancient coin of Russ was found on territories occupied by the Kiev princedom. It was a Roman denarius from 300 B.C. From 8 to 11 century on Russian territories the Arabian Dirhams were in circulation. In Rus they were called Kuna. In 10 centuries, the Arabian dirham was substituted by the Byzantium Miliarense. Foreign coins went to Russ till the end of 11 century. The first own money was minted at the end of the 10th century in Kiev. The money began to mint, but according to historians Kiev zolotniks did not serve as money. Natives used these coins as medals and awarded them to each other for services to the country. Now the most interesting part. As you have understood, at the end of 10 century Kiev began to mint gold and silver coins. The gold ones were used as award medals. The silver ones seemed to have the function of money. So, they were minting coins in Kiev, and suddenly at the end of the 11th century they abruptly abandoned the not perfect round shape of coins. And we can say we made a technological breakthrough and began to use the most perfect and technologically flawless means of payment - the Russian hryvnia. I look at this genius of engineering, and I understand that progress has not stood still. This is an incredible technical leap from an awkward and ugly round coin to such perfection as a hryvnia. The Novgorod hryvnia weighed 204 grams and was cast in silver. The Kiev hryvnia was 160 grams. The trihedral Lithuanian ruble weighing 170 grams is just as beautiful. In 1380 after the Battle of Kulikovo, silver scales made of pieces of silver wire appeared in circulation. And Tartar money/scales made of copper and silver. Then Eugenia Gilinsky - mother of Ivan the Terrible carried out a currency reform, which resulted in three denominations of coins - polushka, denka, and kopeeck. Here is such a complicated and amazing history of Russian coins from Roman denarii to the Kiev zolotniks. Then a jump to the hryvnia, then a fall to round kopecks and rubles. But I got a little distracted. The most interesting thing about a coin is not the history of its origin but the dates it was minted in the 17th and 18th centuries. Let's open a coin catalogue. The link to it will be in the description. And let's see how minted of year on ancient Russian coins. Let's begin with the coins of the Grand Duchy of Moscow 1283 - 1547. See, Basil the second - denga Moscow without date. Theoretically the year 1495. One more interesting point to note. In the last video I told that in the Russian lands before the 18th century Arabic numerals were not used. But here if you look at this coin you can make another interesting conclusion. Roman numerals were not used either. Coin was minted during the period of Basil II, the number of the king is written in Roman numerals, but on the coin itself there are no Roman numerals. Minted simply- Vasyli prince the Great. Denga of Moscow 1446 year without date. Money of the period of Ivan the Third. There's no date, no Roman numerals. Denga of Moscow without date - 1505-th year of the period of Vasyli the Third. No date and no Roman numerals. Post-Reformation coin of 1535, also no date. Now let's move on to the coin of Russian Tsardom - 1547-1721god. A kopeck without a date. Kopeck of Theodore the First 1584 year. There is no date on the penny. Kopeck of the period of Boris Godunov in 1598. There is no date on the coin. Kopeck 1606 also without date. Kopeck 1618 year. Date on kopecks not minted. Alexei Mikhailovich period in 1675. On kopecks no date. 1676 Fedor II kopeck without date. Kopeck of Ivan 5 no date. The period of Peter the Great. Finally, on a coin appears date 1704 and written down by Russian numerals. Kopeck 1705 also have the date of Russian figures. Polushka 1719 date written in Russian numerals. And here is what we have got. Before 1696 on Russian coins in general there was no date minted. Of course, in this story there are exceptions and they are quite funny. But I'll talk about them a little later. Until 1696, that is, before the arrival of Peter the Great, the date on Russian coins was not minted. In 1696, the date was put on the coin. The date was sometimes set in Russian and sometimes in European numerals. The date was minted in Russian numerals until 1721. Since 1700 Russia has accepted new chronology, not from creation of the world as considered before, but from Nativity of the Christ. After that they changed the spelling of the numbers themselves. Slavic letters were replaced by Arabic numerals. It is brightly reflected on coins from 1700 to 1707-th year. But it was still written in letters. The first coins with Arabic numerals appeared in 1707. So, the whole country switched to Arabic numerals and the new chronology in 1700. But for some reason, for 20 years after this event the dates on some coins continued to be minted in Russian letters. And even if we believe it's just a decades-long monetary reform. People were given time to get used to Arabic numerals and new dates. But anyway, in this story there is one strange exception. As we remember Arabic numerals to 1700 were not used in Russia, but why in 1655 at the Russian coins courts there was a very interesting phenomenon- the Upranking European Thalers with Moscow stamps. Hundreds of thousands of European Thalers were minted with a stamp of Moscow kopecks and with the stamp with the date 1655 (or a silver standard- 16SS) performed by Arabic numerals. That is, in the Russian Empire Arabic numerals in general did not use anywhere and used letters. But for some reason the stamp on the thalers were done in Arabic numerals. Historians here think that they have a logical explanation. Allegedly, these minted-over thalers intended for the Russian army, which was in campaigns in foreign territories. The version is certainly a good one. We take the European Thaler we mint over the date 1655, and we pay these thalers wages to the Russian soldiers who are in the European hot spot. It all seems to make sense. I just don't understand one simple thing. If minted coins were used by Russian soldiers, then why the date was minted in Arabic numerals. After all, this date is completely incomprehensible to a Russian person. He has been using Slavic letters since the first textbook by Kirik of Novgorod in the 12th century. And the Russian soldier after the European war will come back home with the accumulated minted thalers, and how will he explain to the locals what these strange things on the on the coin are. So, the subject of Yefimok's minting-over 1655 (or 16SS) is very murky. The more so, such minted coins, according to the maître of domestic numismatics Spassky, were found more than a million pieces. They are often found in treasuries in western Europe. And the Russian army which was paid by such coins served in Byelorussia and Lesser Russia (Currently Ukraine). That is not where the treasures with these coins are found. So here we shall return to the main theme. Till 1696 on Russian coins the year wasn't minted. There is one exception. The ruble of Alexei Mikhailovich of 1654. This is a very rare coin only existed in about 40 copies. And almost all of them are in museum collections. We are interested in the date of this coin. If I am not mistaken it is the only coin on which there is a date in Russian letters, starting with the sign - 7000. So, the date on this coin reads like this, summer/year 7162. Other such coins with the date of the summer/year 7000 seemingly in the Russian history did not survive. The writing of the date itself is also very interesting. Look at it, it says summer/year, then the sign of a 1000 - the dash crossed out and then the letter 7. Next comes the dot separating the 7 and the other numbers - of 162. And here I think the dividing point is a very important element. This point separates the name of a certain period from the year. That is, summer/year and the sign of the 7000 are separately placed from the year of 162nd. And I think that's a very important point. As I said in the last video, our story could have been much shorter. So, in all Russian history there is only one coin with the sign of summer/year 7000. There are no coins of summer/year 5000 or summer/year 6000. There are only coins of Peter's time where there is a sign 1000. But these coins are from a different period. This is the time when they began to distort Russian numbers and actively rewrite history. Now we need to understand what can mean this combination consisting of the word summer/year - this crossed dash and the letter 7. To understand this issue one very interesting book is helpful - 1949 Great Novgorod and Pskov charters. See what's interesting about this treatise. To analyze ancient dates, we need access to the original Novgorod manuscripts. We certainly can't find the originals anywhere else except in the Novgorod Occupation Archive. There are practically no originals freely available. But I found this wonderful book. This book contains reprints of Novgorod and Pskov letters from the 13th to the 17th century. It's just a great compendium of important information. I found a lot of interesting things in this book. I'll just show you the highlights. Firstly, 99% of the Novgorod and Pskov letters do not have dates in the text. No dates at all. Historians have dated them by some indirect signs. And it is very strange, because almost every document of the Novgorod Occupation Archives had a date in the text. And here it's just text, and instead of dates, here's entries like this " ride for the third winter" - that's just a very accurate date. "For the third winter" "To Ladoga for the third summer" are also very accurate dates. If you try to grasp the meaning of what is written, you have a feeling that it is just a set of ignorant words written in a language very similar to Russian, but with a slight disability, like in the text of the Novgorod birch-bark manuscripts. The presentation of information in these charters is very different from the Novgorod letters of the occupation archive. In the occupation archive the charters are written as if in normal human language. And in this collection of charters were written by people who watched a lot of Russian folk tales. The figures in these charters are also nonsense. Here, for example, is a charter from 1456. It is not clear where historians got this date, probably from another charter without a date. There are no dates in the charter itself. Let's see that it is written " And the charter was given to the great prince in that half 9 thousand rubles ". A remarkable figure - half 9 thousand rubles. According to the same official history Kirik Novgorodian 300 years before the above date explained to the people of Novgorod, how to use the numbers. And you can not speak in fairy tale language - by half 9 thousand - but to say simply as normal people say 8500 rubles. True here it is not clear what the author meant by the phrase half a 9 - is 8.5 or 4.5. But all this is perfectly written in Russian letters and you can write 8500 rubles or 4500 rubles. Here is just another wonderful example of historical creativity. The 1471st year the charter of great Novgorod to great prince Ivan Vasilyevich on terms of payment of 15 thousand 500 rubles. Look 1471 and the figure is again written down in fabulous language - half-16-17 (minattsatty) thousand rubles in money. Why half-16-17? After all, there is already a doctrine of Russian numbers, and at that time already Novgorodians were able to write numbers properly. And they could just write 15500 rubles. Just below, an interesting record half-3 thousand rubles. What is this again a figure from Russian fairy tales - half a third of a thousand? How much is that? If 150, such figures Novgorodians could write down in normal language. There is also a date - this is one of the rare manuscripts of this book in which there is a date. We read: "And this charter was written in the summer of 79th August 9th". The date is not clear at all. Who rewrote it - summer/year of '79 . It's not 7000 that it's just 79. But here historians in the beginning of the charter clearly indicated that the recalculation of the summer of '79 is 1471. Here is another charter. Look at the date - summer/year 79 August 11. Who rewrote this charter in the first place? What the summer/year of August 79 means? This date is in the text. And there's even a footnote on how to read it. We proceed to the second part of the book which is called letters of relationship of great Novgorod with the West. In this part almost all Novgorod charters have no date. And here's the interesting thing, the reciprocal letters of the western cities have the normal date from the Nativity of Christ. Here is a vivid example - the year 1323 treaty of Novgorod with the Livonian Order on an alliance. A Livonian copy of the treaty. The original on parchment. There is a normal date - 1323. Here again is the Western charter - the treaty of Novgorod with Norway on peace. This charter was written for the Norwegians or was written by the Norwegians. Therefore, here is the date in the year of the Lord 1326. So, the European versions have dates, though from the nativity of Christ. Now read this "And you live well, written this charter of the month of March on the sixteenth day". Isn't it very informative - and written again in a fairy-tale-dumb style syllables. Now let's move on to the section of the charters of the internal administration of great Novgorod. The dates are almost nowhere to be found in this section either. Here's how historians date them. The basis of dating is the mention of Archbishop Jonah. The next charter - the basis of dating - the mention of Archbishop Theophilus. And here at last is a charter with a real date - summer/year 6985. It seems to be a real charter with a real date. But if we look at the footnote, we see that the date is restored from the list. That is, from a later copy of this document. Let's move on to the section - private charters of Great Novgorod. We are nearing the end of this book and I have only shown you a few letters in which there are recorded dates. And there are hundreds of documents. Out of hundreds of letters I have chosen 4 dates and they are all very strange. Having browsed through hundreds of letters in the section private letters I see correct date in the text - summer/year 7081 August, 15th day. Here is another charter with the date - summer/year 7092 August. Here is another interesting piece of writing and the date is rare - in the summer/year 6057. But this rare date does not coincide with the summer count from the creation of the world. Now imagine the year 1615, that would be 7123 from the creation of the world. Now subtract 6057 from that date and you get 1066. That is we have date in this charter shifted by 1066 years from 1615. Here's more of a date stamp - at 10 summers/years and three summers/years. The next date certificate is in summer/year 80 10 March 9. Here's another interesting charter with a rare date - summer/year 6690. But if you look at the description, there's an indication that the charter is not authentic. So, it's a fake. Here's an interesting charter with a real date of 7011. That was the end of this book. You just imagine I studied the book volume of 200 pages, which contains copies of hundreds of Novgorod letters. And I only found a few letters of commendation with actual dates. And they're all from summer/year 7000. All this book is very similar to the collection of fake Novgorod letters, which were invented in the 19th century. The scientists of the 20th century took all that fake as a serious scientific literature. The stylistics of semi-fairy writing, semi-fairy numbers such as half-9000. Also, almost complete absence of dates in the government papers. All this points to the fact that it is all a fake made in the 19th century. These charters are radically different from the books of the Novgorod Occupation Archives. Everything in the archive is clear - both the dates and the style of presentation. Everything inspires confidence. The same book - the charters of great Novgorod and Pskov causes only confusion. Maybe this book presents two or three of the real documents, but the rest is a fake. And here's what I can summarize. First of all, I do not believe the assumption that the dating from the creation of the world came to Russia from Greece. Secondly, the lack of documents and coins with a summer/year 6000 date led me to an interesting thought. Let's imagine that this sign in Russian numbers does not mean a thousand, but has another meaning. This sign denotes a certain period. For example, a period like summer. (word summer and year in Russian spelled the same). What if summer is not one year, but a succession of warm years without winter. For example, our chronology ended in the seventh summer of 209, which means there were 209 years in the 7th summer. And all this time there was no winter . In the 6th summer there was a different number of years. Summer/year is a period in which there have been no winters for a very long time, and our entire history is only 7 summers/years. That is, different lengths of intervals in which there was no winter at all.
Sure. That’s just a hypothesis for the moment. It will sound bananas for some, but opinions might change with time.
Immortal Titans are locked up in the proverbial Tartar. What off limits areas do we have? Antarctica, Area-51, the Arctic region, you pick.
Demi-gods are dead, and that is the main war they are hiding from us. All these prominent known names we get, like Attila, Nimrod, Genghis Khan, Timur Tamerlane, Pugatchev, etc.
(all these names probably pertain to the same individual we do not know), various kings and queens, their highnesses, these were demi-gods as well as their children were too. The nobility, so to speak... The indoctrinated tech of Industrial Revolutions was theirs.
And then there were us, mere mortals. We are the slave type... smaller, weaker, dumber... just the way it was genetically designed.
Then something happened, and this smth is what they are hiding. Was it the war of Gods? Could be, methinks.
The enclosed system we live in, requires maintenance, but based on the 10 years we are given due to the so-called Global Warming, we prob don’t know how to conduct it.
And the main thing I guess would be this:
- 1770-1915 is where all our answers are.
- The “ancient” civilization of bigger individuals is pre-1770, imho.
- The time line is screwed up beyond belief.
Events to scrutinize:
- Napoleonic Wars
- That’s where our Attilas, Genghis Khans, Mehmed IIs, Timurs, Pugachevs and some other individuals are at. They are one and the same... an idea I’m currently entertaining.
- The Victorian age (1837-1901)
- Fall of Constantinople
Hi KD - thank for this deep dive into it! Here is an interesting read - some thoughts food by russian researcher of history S. Sklyarov (passed away a couple of years ago). The confrontation of Baal (god civilizator) vs Yahve (Johova) - not so much civilizator; the role of humans as tasty treats
and associated biblical thematic.
- M/Fish combo?
