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

with new colors. High Hara and Meru, sung by the forefathers in their sacred hymns, of course, could not be lower than the Pamirs and the Himalayas, they should have been the highest in the world, higher than the sun.

      But remember: in the hymns of the Vedas and in the Avesta, the peaks of these mountains are covered with dense forests, where wonderful birds sing, where various animals live, where a wonderful hopping haoma-soma grows. It turns out that there were not so high forested areas inhabited by the beast and bird Meru and High Khara. And what about the Northern Uvals? Three quarters of them are covered with forests. And what forests! Here and spruce, and fir, and linden, and maple, and elm, and elm, and bird cherry, and alder, and birch, and aspen, and even oaks. It is at 60 degrees north latitude! Various shrubs grow in these places: red and black currants, dogrose, dogwood, honeysuckle, viburnum and hops in abundance. And in the forest meadows – magnificent forbs. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, these places were famous as rich hunting grounds, abundant in animals, birds, and fish. But it is in the summer. In winter, a snowstorm sweeps, a piercing northeast wind howls on the northern slopes of Uvals, whirls, covering everything around with flakes of snow, a blizzard. It turns out that the Aryans carried away in their new hot homeland the memory of the merciless, deadly north wind – Vayu, reigning on the slopes of the Meru Mountains. But before those who, having won the battle with the winds and snow, overcame this mountain barrier, the vast expanses of the sea opened up, fantastically frozen waters, and sparkled in their honor, illuminating the path further, the light of the northern lights.

      The memory of the mountains lives in the hymns of the Veda and the lines of the Avesta, in the names of the villages and villages of the Russian North. Listen to them: Mandara – Mandarovo, Mundora – Mundorka and Mount Mandara “Vedas”; Harino – Harovo, Kharachevo – Harinskaya, Harlovo – Kharapikha, Kharkhorino – Harionovo and High Hara Avesta; Ripino – Ripinka, Ripina, Ripa and the Riphean mountains of the ancient Greeks. And also Svyatogorye, Semigorye and many villages and villages with the names of Gora (mountain) or Gorka (slide). Dvina flows into the White Sea. Or is it just a consonance of Dvina – Ardvi? Or maybe not? After all, the residents of the Kharovsky district, where the Kharovsky ridge stretches, call sand the strange word “hara”. In Sanskrit (Indo-Iranian language), “hara” is yellow, golden, orange, reddish, sunny…

      Several years ago, teachers of the Russian language from around the world came to the ancient Russian city of Vologda from the University of Peoples’ Friendship named after Patrice Lumumba. And in the museum halls, looking at the patterns of embroidery and weaving made at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries by North Russian peasant women, the young Indian said in surprise: “There is almost nothing new for me here. All this I have seen many times at home. But that shocked me the most. Explain how our embroideries could get to you?”.

      The Russian North is the sacred ancestral home of the Aryans!

      “The discovery of Zharnikova” – this is how modern scholars call the theory, which is proved by the candidate of historical sciences, art critic, who lives and teaches in Vologda, Svetlana Vasilyevna Zharnikova. The author of monographs and articles on the history and art of the Russian North, she is firmly convinced that in ancient time, different processes took place in the northern Polar Regions than those described by orthodox science. We asked about this and much more today the author of the discovery.

      – Svetlana Vasilievna, tell us what the essence of the enormous research that you conducted is and what it crowned with!

      – First, a little from the history of the issue. The fact is that the polar theory of the formation of human civilization appeared long ago, back in the nineteenth century. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the first serious studies on this topic appeared, for example, in 1903, the Indian scientist Tilak wrote his book “The Arctic Homeland in the Vedas”. Long-term studies of the Indian and Iranian holy books of the Vedas and Avesta led him to a startling conclusion: the homeland of the ancestors of the Indo-Iranians or, as they were called, Aryans was in northern Europe, somewhere near the Arctic Circle. A little later, the Russian scientist Jelachich published his book: “The Far North as the birthplace of mankind.” In it, he, in fact, deepened and developed Tilak’s ideas. The stumbling block of historians’ disputes was the question: where were the original lands of the Aryans, where is their ancestral home.

      Among the amazing phenomena of the land of the Aryans described in the Vedas and Avesta, there is one extremely important one – the sacred mountains of the ancestral home of the Aryans: Meru – in Indian traditions, Hara – in Iranian.

      These mountains were also described by the Greeks, they called them Hyperborean, all the largest rivers of Europe flowed from them, and the Scythian ocean lay behind them. In order to reach the world of the gods, it was necessary to overcome the great and endless mountains that stretched from West to East… seven stars of the Big Dipper and the still-located star of Dhruva sparkle over them in the darkness. All the great rivers began from these mountains, only some flow south to the warm sea, while others flow north to the “white ocean”.

      What do we see? The constellation Ursa Major and the Pole Star “in the center of the universe” sparkles above the ancient mountains of Arya, and based on the text of the Avesta, “the fast-moving sun” always circulates over the mountains of the great Hara. In the hymns of the Rigveda and Avesta, it is said that in the homeland of the Aryans “six days a day and six months a night”.

      Given some evidence, forgetting about the others, it was believed that the Vedas and Avesta describe the Ural Mountains, but the Urals are oriented from south to north, and all sources claimed that these mountains stretch from west to east. Meanwhile, the circumpolar Urals has a northeastern orientation. Here, from the so-called “Three Stones”, the Timan Ridge departs, which combines with the Northern Uvals, which are the main watersheds of the northern and southern seas.

      It is here that one should look for the sacred ancestral home of the Aryans, it is here that the earthly waters are divided into streams flowing into the “white sea” of the north and flowing south.

      There is a hymn in the Avesta, glorifying the ancient river of the Aryans of Ardvi-Suru, which flows into the North Sea. Some historians believed that this was the Amu Darya, but this river is always muddy, while the ancient Aryan river is said to be transparent, pure and healing. Others believe that this is the Volga.

      There is a reason for this: latitude, vast delta and beginning in the high mountains.

      I managed to prove that we are talking about the Northern Dvina. Firstly, its upper part is formed from two rivers of the South and Sukhona: hence the names Dvina, that is, “double”. The name “Ardvi” is also translated. The Volga has many tributaries, but the merger of two streams into one does not create this river.

      Secondly, in box 5 in the Avesta, a strange phenomenon is mentioned: along with a description of the frost, snow and hail that feed the waters of Ardvi-Sura, one channel is mentioned: “it flows seven Karshavars, flowing evenly in summer and winter.” The Volga does not have a channel that would not freeze in the winter, but the Northern Dvina has it – it is the Yemtsa River, from its bottom all year round sources that are called “kipuns” beat. This is one of the major tributaries of the Dvina. Yes, this is a discovery, and quite serious in our science, since now we do not suppose, but know where the sacred ancestral home of the Aryans was located.

      – Svetlana Vasilievna, who, then, was our ancestors!

      – The initial population of the Russian North was not Finno-Ugric, but Indo-European, speaking the Indo-European language, preserving the culture and rites of this people, preserving precisely this anthropological type. The most ancient books of the Vedas were written, transmitted orally in these northern, circumpolar territories. On this territory, say, conditionally, not Slavs lived; people lived here, speaking some kind of archaic form of Indo-Iranian languages.
