Meru Mountains. Hyperborea and Aryan ancestral homeland. S. V. Zharnikova

folklore has also preserved many images-symbols of flying means: a flying ship, a wooden eagle, an airplane-carpet, a stupa of Baba Yaga and others.

      Hellenic Solnebog Apollo, born in Hyperborea and having received one of his main epithets at his birthplace, constantly visited his distant homeland and the ancestral home of almost all Mediterranean peoples. Several images of Apollo flying to the Hyperboreans have survived. At the same time, the artists stubbornly reproduced the winged platform, which was completely untypical for antique fine symbolism, dating back, presumably, to some kind of real prototype.

      It seems that it is not by chance that in northern art a real cult of winged people has developed. It is appropriate to assume that the especially beloved and venerated in Russia images of the bird-eaters of Sirin, Alkonost, Gamayun are rooted in deep Hyperborean antiquity.

      More recently, many cast bronze figures of winged people, again making you remember the Hyperboreans, were discovered during excavations of the sanctuary on the island of Vaigach, located in the Arctic Ocean. But even earlier, many stylized bronze images of birdmen were found in different places of the Kama region and the Subpolar Urals – samples of the so-called Perm animal style.

      For some reason, they are usually called “chud (miraculous) antiquities” and unilaterally tied to the Finno-Ugric culture. However, the origins of the Finno-Ugric, Samoyed, Indo-European and all other peoples should be sought in the undivided northern great people with a single language and culture. It is in this Hyperborean antiquity that the Permian roots with its winged birdmen, spread, however, all over the globe, right up to South America and Easter Island, go.

      Other plots of chudes (in the sense of “miraculous” from the Russian word “chudo”) treasures confirm this. Thus, images of dual solar horses found also in the Kama region are widespread. This proves only one thing – the global origin of cultures and their carriers!

      The descriptions of the “mechanism” of flights are preserved in a multitude in the memory of the northern peoples in the form of stable folklore images, carefully transmitted from generation to generation. It is appropriate to recall the climax of the Kalevala episode, which tells of a decisive sea battle between the protagonists of the Karelian-Finnish epic and the people of the far northern land opposing them Pohjela for the right to own the Sampo magic mill – an inexhaustible source of wealth and prosperity. The action takes place in the middle of the sea-ocean. Having tried all military means against the sons of the country of Kaleva and having failed, the mistress Pohela – the witch Louhi – turns into a giant bird – a “flying ship”. Here is how it looked in the transfer of folk storytellers:

      One hundred husbands sat on the wings,

      A thousand sat on the tail

      A hundred swordsmen sat down

      A thousand brave shooters.

      Loafed her wings

      Eagle rose in the air.

      Archaeologists never cease to amaze the abundance of so-called winged objects constantly found in the Eskimo burial grounds and related to the most distant times in the history of the Arctic.

      Subsequently, these symbols, handed down from generation to generation, spread throughout the world and became entrenched in almost all ancient cultures – Egyptian, Assyrian, Hittite, Persian, Aztec, Maya, and so on to Polynesia.

      Homeland of Apollo

      Apollo is the classic sun god of antiquity. True, there was also a titanium Helios. But the titan rebels after the Olympic coup were demonized and were under great suspicion. Helios also got into the “penalty battalion” with them.

      Apollo, like his twin sister Artemis – the children of Zeus from his first wife, the Titanide Leto – is uniquely associated with Hyperborea.

      According to the testimony of ancient authors and the persuasion of the Greeks and Romans, Apollo not only periodically returned to Hyperborea on a chariot drawn by swans, but the North Korean hyperboreans themselves constantly came to Hellas with gifts in honor of their god Apollo.

      There is also a substantive link between Apollo and Hyperborea. Apollo is the god of the Sun, and Hyperborea is that northern country where the Sun does not set in the summer for several months. Geographically, such a country can only be located beyond the Arctic Circle. According to the observations of A. D. Chertkov – and they are not without foundation – the name Apollo contains in a slightly modified form the same root as in the Russian words “scorch”, “scorched”.

      The ancient spelling Aplun is known, which reads: Aplun (Opalun). And in one of the Old Russian lists with the enumeration of Slavic deities between Perun and Makosh there was Apolin – the god of the Sun.

      The cosmic-stellar essence of Apollo is due to its origin. Leto mother gave birth to her sun-bearing son on the island of Asteria, which means “star”. Asteria (Star) was also called the sister of Leto.

      The history of the emergence and consolidation of the Olympic cults also fully confirms the thesis put forward. One of the late ancient historians and writers Pausanias (2nd century) in his famous work “Description of Hellas” gives the following amazing details of the appearance of one of the main sanctuaries of Ancient Greece – the Temple of Apollo in Delphi.

      First, Hyperboreans appeared here, among them was the future first Delphic priest, he, by a “strange coincidence”, had the Slavic-Russian name Olen (Deer).

      By the way, the name of the ancestor of all ancient Greek tribes and a single people – Ellina – also represents the Greekized form of the common Indo-European word “Olen (deer)” and the word “Lani (doe)”, which is close to it in meaning and origin. Olen – Hyperborean and his companions were sent to Delphi by Apollo. This suggests the conclusion: God himself (the future) was far away at that time – most likely in Hyperborea, where the embassy left.

      Having become a prophet and a soothsayer, Olen erected the first temple in Delphi: first, a wooden one, similar to a shack, writes Pausanius (his model, made of wax and feathers, Apollon would later send as a gift to Hyperborea), and only after a long time, after many fires and destruction, rebuilt that stone temple, the miserable remains of which have survived to this day.

      The story retold by Pausanias has been preserved in the form of canonical Delphic texts:

      So the multi-Orthodox here founded a sanctuary to God

      Children of the Hyperboreans, Pegasus with St. Agiyei.

      Also Olen: He was the first prophet of the prophet Phoebus, First, the songs that made up of ancient tunes.

      As you can see, it is directly indicated here that the cult and ritual canon of Apollo Delphi was compiled on the basis of Hyperborean traditions.

      In the future, the songwriter Olen will convey the art of composing the sacred prophecies in hexameters to the Pythians – priestesses of Apollo: sitting on a tripod, they predicted fate surrounded by crawling snakes, inspired by stupefying fumes or incense.

      The sister of Apollo, the goddess Artemis, is also inextricably linked with Hyperborea. Apollodorus draws her as an intercessor of the Hyperboreans. The hyperborean affiliation of Artemis is also mentioned in the ancient ode of Pindar, dedicated to Hercules the Hyperborean.

      According to Pindar, Hercules reached Hyperborea in order to accomplish yet another feat – to obtain the golden-horned Kirinean Doe: “He reached the lands behind the icy Borea.”
