Many people don't know exactly who the ancestors of modern Russians were. Knowledge about them came from legends, epics about heroes. So, few people know that our ancestors carried out the chronology from the creation of the Star Temple. It was the oldest calendar.
What does Star Temple mean?
Reckoning according to this scheme continued until the 18th century. However, there has never been a ban on its use. The reckoning in the Star Temple began from the moment when the power of the Great Race - Russia - won, and made peace with the empire of the Great Dragon - China. This continued until the reign of Peter I.
Then the Russian Tsar canceled the reckoning from the moment of peace in the Star Temple. In addition, with the adoption of Christianity by Russia, a calendar borrowed from Byzantium began to be used in parallel. Subsequently, the original Slavic calendar was replaced by Western counterparts.
Slavophiles' point of view
Slavophiles claimed that this was a consequence of the popularization of the Norman theory of the origin of the state in Russia. They continue to resist Gumilyov's gazeto Russia, arguing in favor of the independence of the Russian people in the process of its formation.
Thus, one creation of the Star Temple, the oldest system, indicates that the Russian state has much deeper roots than is commonly believed. Even before the arrival of Rurik, statehood existed here, a culture with customs.
Historical facts
It is noteworthy that the existence of the Star Temple has been proven by modern historians. Its reckoning begins on September 23, 5508 BC. And in December 1699, Peter I, by his decree, replaced the old chronology with a new one - the calendar from the Nativity of Christ. According to the Star Temple calendar, it was 7208.
Questions
The most important question remains - what happened on September 23, 5508 BC? A number of sources claim that the creation of the Star Temple refers to the victory of Russia in the war with China, the empire of the Great Dragon. It is noteworthy that initially the name "China" extended to the south of Tartaria, and only then passed to "Manchuria". The territory of the latter refers to the area around the Amur River.
To understand this issue, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the Chinese call the Amur the "River of the Black Dragon". There is a legend that the good Black Dragon once lived here, who defeated the White Dragon, which interfered with the population. The Black Dragon continued to live here, and the reservoir was named after him.
Antiquity of Russian history
China's self-name - "Zhongguo", as well as "Manchuria" have a similarhieroglyph - "Jah", it is intertwined with "Yahweh", the name of God in Hebrew. For this reason, there is speculation about the location of the Star Temple.
The place for the conclusion of a peace treaty between Tartaria and Manchuria could be China-Ja or Kitezh. But there is one caveat here. Almost in the center of Tartaria is the archaeological fortress Por-Bazhyn. According to ancient descriptions, Kitezh was "two hundred fathoms long and one hundred fathoms wide." That is, it was a rectangular area of 100 by 200 fathoms. This description corresponds to the Por-Bazhyn fortress.
It is known that Kitezh stood on Lake Svetly Yar, which served as protection for him from enemy attacks, persons with malicious intent. According to currently available information, when Batu Khan conquered Kitezh, he discovered that there were no fortifications in Kitezh. The residents didn't even stand up by sending prayers.
Khan's troops went on the attack, but suddenly fountains of water gushed out of the ground, flooding both the population and the attackers. The attackers stopped the attack, and watched in horror as the whole settlement went under the lake. Only the cathedral dome with the cross remained on the surface. And he also went under the water, leaving only waves on the surface.
Por-Bazhyn stands on Lake Tere-Khol. Studies have shown that the fortress was once flooded. And even in the not so distant past, the water here showed itself unusually. So, in the 1950s, the height of the lake above sea level was 1333 meters, but ten years later it suddenly fell by 300 meters.
Subsequently, such fluctuations were noted more than once. To trace the connection of this story with the phenomenon under consideration, it makes sense to pay attention to the genetic group R1a, a marker of the Eastern Slavs. It turned out that in the amount of 53% it was detected in the southern Altaians living 700 km from Por-Bazhyn. The Altaians themselves here call themselves "Altai-Kizhi". Many remains dating back 20,000 years with the R group, the ancestor of R1a, were also found here.
Thus, Por-Bazhyn is located around the remains of the Eastern Slavs. And here is the famous island of Kizhi. All this is evidence of the antiquity of Russian history. And the story of the conclusion of peace must have taken place in it.
Conclusions
Thus, the notion of peace in the Star Temple is associated with the end of the war between warring nations. These were the Slavic-Aryans who fought with the ancient Chinese. They made peace in the Star Temple on the day of the Autumnal Equinox.
The victory was won by the Slavic-Aryans, which was reflected in the image of a white knight on a horse who struck the Dragon with a spear - this will become the coat of arms of Moscow in the future. But, when, years later from the creation of the world, Christianity was adopted in the Star Temple in Russia, this symbol began to be interpreted as George the Victorious, who struck the serpent. According to legend, one day the lot fell to give the king's daughter to the serpent, and then George pierced the serpent, saving her from death.
After that, the locals converted to Christianity. Someone interpreted it as a symbol of the church and paganism. But these interpretations hardly explain what this story has to do with Russia.
After all, this symbol has beenused in this country. Slavophiles claim that Christians used this symbol for their own purposes. Hanuman (prince of Russeniya) and Ahriman (ruler of Arimia - China) laid the foundation for the creation of the Star Temple. It is important to keep in mind here that in ancient times "china" was translated as "fence".
This tradition has come down to our days, because Moscow's Kitay-gorod is called that way because of the walls that surrounded it, it has nothing to do with Chinese culture. And according to legend, as a sign of peace in the first year of the Star Temple, a wall was erected between the two ancient peoples to mark the borders. "Fence" was called "China". It was from this event that the calculation of the Star Temple began among the Slavic ancestors.
Then Az-Vesta (the first news) was written on 12,000 oxhides. It was written on parchment and also on gold. It was destroyed by Alexander the Great, a Slav by origin, who fell under the influence of Aristotle. Slavophiles claim that later a distorted version of the Avesta, the Zend-Avesta, spread around the world, and it was this version that Zarathustra distorted by adding his conjectures.
The view of historians
Historians refute these views of the Slavophiles, citing the facts that neither Russia nor China existed 6000 years before our era, there were no their titular nations. In those days, there was a middle Neolithic, while the Linear-band Pottery Culture flourished in Europe, and the Yangshao Culture flourished in China. The representatives of the latter were proto-Chinese tribes, and they were not Chinese. The culture of linear-ribbon ceramics, in turn, did notwas either Slavic or Proto-Slavic. There is no exact view of the "ancestral home" of the early Slavs. There are only a few versions.
Nestor's ideas in The Tale of Bygone Years gravitate towards the "Danubian version". It states that the Slavs lived in the Roman province of Norik, which was located near the Danube. Later they moved to the Vistula and the Dnieper. It was a slow process.
For about 500 years, the ancient Slavs remained in the Carpathian region, and only in the 7th century settled the Russian Plain. But most scientists are of the opinion that the original homeland of the Slavs is Pripyat, Vistula. There is also a point of view that unites both of these versions.
The very first Chinese state was Shang. It existed from 1600 to 1027 BC in the north of the Great Plain of China. The territory of this formation was limited. For this reason, official history denies the possibility that 6000 years ago contacts were possible not only between Russia and China, but also directly between the Slavs and the Chinese.
Besides this, history has not preserved any evidence of the ancient war between China and Russia - there is not a single written, archaeological evidence left. There is hardly any mention of this event in the folklore of both countries.
Refutation
From the point of view of neo-pagans, the symbol of St. George the Victorious is a symbol of the victory of the ancient Slavs over the ancient Chinese. But official data says that the image of him on horseback belongs to the late period.
Until a certain point, he was depicted only in armor, armed. And such an image is present in the Georgievskycathedral and many other buildings of the 13th century. The most ancient Russian image of St. George - on the icon in the Moscow Kremlin - dates back to the end of the 11th century. And there he is depicted without a horse and a serpent. One of the ancient drawings of the 12th century shows him together with Theodore Stratilates, who also strikes a serpent on horseback. So they appeared on a stone slab in Kyiv, which dates back to the 12th century.
George was killed in the 4th century AD. His cult begins about a century later. Until that moment, there was not a single image of this saint. His cult on Russian lands appeared only after Russia adopted Christianity, in the 11th century AD. And then it was not very widespread. He became the patron of princes much later.
For this reason, before the beginning of the second millennium of our era, there were no images of a war on a white horse in Russia. They previously appeared in the West, where they appeared on reliefs, miniatures, frescoes, and paintings. For example, in Rome, George appears from the 6th century in places of worship dedicated to himself. And, of course, the Catholics did not venerate the symbol of the confrontation between the Chinese and the Slavs.
It is noteworthy that Christianity came to Georgia earlier than to Russia. And in the 4th century, George was already considered her patron.
In China
Besides this, if you believe the version of the devastating war between China and Russia, after which a new chronology was started, then traces should have remained in China. However, the Chinese did not have such a new chronology.
About Russian chronology
BesidesThis, officially in Russia, the reckoning was carried out “from the creation of the world”, and in 7000, according to surviving information, a panic began in the country. And if the chronology began from the moment of the peace treaty, there would be no logic in this. After all, hardly anyone will decide that a hundred or a thousand years after May 9, 1945, the world will end.
According to available data, in 6967, the birth of the Antichrist was expected from the creation of the world in Russia. So, at the onset of the year 7000 (1492), Metropolitan Zosima sincerely believed that the world was about to perish. Joseph Volotsky considered the issue of the end of the world in the "Book of Non-Heretics".
There he refutes any possibility of such an outcome, considering the year and the end of the world to be unrelated phenomena. It is noteworthy that even after Peter I introduced a new calendar, counting the years "from the creation of the world" was still common among the Old Believers. However, the word "peace" itself has been found in Slavic traditions since the 11th century, and its original Indian root means "dear". Later, “peace” was understood as “space”, and not as “conclusion of a peace treaty.”
About the thesis
Among the Slavophiles there is a myth that Peter I, having introduced a new system of chronology, actually “stole 5,000 years of history from Russia”. But the surviving documentation of those years completely refutes this thesis. Peter I never introduced a ban on the use of the old calendar "from the creation of the world", he did not begin to "cross out history".
And those 5000 years of the history of Russia that "destroyed" did not even exist in realityemperor. The decision to introduce the chronology adopted in Western culture into circulation is quite logical. After the issuance of the decree, the countdown began from the birth of Christ. This replaced the Byzantine tradition.
After all, this ancient state was defeated in 1453, and its chronology was not widely used practically anywhere except Greece. And Peter I sought to bring European trends to the country. He changed fashion, the education system, management.
The Julian calendar, which Peter I took, was once compiled by Alexandrian astronomers led by Sosigenes. It was introduced by Julius Caesar on January 1, 45 BC. e. He modified the obsolete calendar in Rome, taking Hellenistic Egypt as the basis for knowledge. And it was he who was accepted by representatives of the Orthodox faith. This explained the choice by Peter I of it, and not the Gregorian calendar.
The latter was used in Catholic traditions. In addition, the Julian calendar was also used by Protestant countries, who feared the influence of the Vatican. The Vatican tried to convince adherents of the Orthodox faith to use the Gregorian chronology.
Thus, the choice of the calendar by Peter I was also due to the cultural characteristics of Russia, following the traditions of Orthodoxy. The point of view of the Slavophiles is also widespread that initially the Russian language did not have the word “year”, there was only the word “summer”. And the “year” was introduced by Peter I, communicating with foreigners, taking the word God from them! However, dictionaries and The Tale of Bygone Years itself, written in the 12th century, contain manyreferences to the word "year". This ancient word is also contained in many other native Russian documents that existed long before Peter I came to power.
While, according to research, the word "summer" meant "a time of sunshine and warmth." It is also an ancient form that has retained the same meaning for many centuries. In addition, in Holland, where Peter I spent some time, the word God was never associated with the “year” in the Russian sense. They had the same meaning in the word jaar. So the statement of a number of Slavophiles that the word "year" was also introduced by the emperor, replacing the original Russian word "Let", is erroneous.
