Hyperborea is the mythical country of the ancient Greeks. There people live for a thousand years, everyone is rich and does not know any lack, they have no kings, only immortal gods have power over them. Death there comes not from old age and disease, but from satiety with all the blessings of life. This happy country is inaccessible to mere mortals, but the ancient Greeks believed that its inhabitants once visited Hellas. Herodotus (5th century BC) wrote that such a belief existed on the island of Delos in his time.
The Hyperboreans have long sent sacrificial gifts to the famous Greek temples, passing them through the Scythians. Gifts were brought to the sanctuaries of the oracles of Zeus of Dodona and Apollo of Delos. The first time the Hyperboreans sent gifts directly to Delos, they were brought by two girls (Hyperoch and Laodice) and five men. The Hyperborean envoys were afraid to return because of the long journey and remained on Delos. From them comes the class of honorary citizens of Delos, called the Perpherei. And even earlier, two women arrived from Hyperborea to Delos - Arga and Opis, who introduced the Delians to the cults of Artemis and Apollo. In memory of the Hyperboreans, many sacred customs were established on Delos. The Hyperboreans, without waiting for the return of their ambassadors, stopped sending new ones and began to send only gifts through representatives of other peoples.
The name Hyperborea indicated that this country is located somewhere far to the north. Homer and Hesiod also mentioned her, and she was often associated with the name of the god Apollo. Abaris, the servant of Apollo, according to the myths, was a Hyperborean and was engaged in miraculous healings, flew on a magic arrow and did without food. Herodotus already considered all the stories about the Hyperboreans fiction. After all, if this people really existed, he argued, then the Scythians would know about it. But since the Scythians, telling fables even about some one-eyed people living somewhere far in the north, do not say anything about the Hyperboreans, therefore, there really are no Hyperboreans, Herodotus concluded.
The Greek scientist Strabo (1st century BC - 1st century AD) also considered Hyperborea as a fairy tale. But not everyone in the ancient world shared this skepticism. The Roman scientist Pliny the Elder (1st century AD) wrote that it is impossible to doubt the real existence of the Hyperboreans, endowed with extraordinary abilities. But Claudius Ptolemy from Alexandria (II century AD), describing in detail the geography of Eastern Europe, does not say anything about the Hyperboreans. Apparently, the Greeks, having invented the myth of the Hyperboreans, were the first to disbelieve in it, but the Romans, who adopted it much later, did not want to part with it.
And yet, perhaps, some real people were reflected in the legends about the Hyperboreans? Where did he live, according to the ideas of the ancient Greeks?
Herodotus reports that the Issedons have some information about the Hyperboreans, however, he also regarded them as fiction. The Issedones lived furthest to the north and east in the world known to Herodotus and were adjacent to the Massagets (the customs of these two peoples were similar). The habitat of the Massagets does not seem to raise doubts among modern historians - these are the steppes of present-day Kazakhstan. The people themselves are considered related to the Scythians. The Persian kings tried to conquer it in the 6th century BC. e. Some even believe that the Massagetae and the Issedones are one people. Beyond the Issedones, according to Herodotus, live one-eyed people and vultures guarding gold. Hyperborea, if there is, then only somewhere else behind them. So, the "History" of Herodotus, although it rejects the real existence of the Hyperboreans, gives a direction, rather, to the north of Siberia as the most likely place for their habitat.
Pliny the Elder reports that in the country of the Hyperboreans a day lasts for half a year, and the luminaries rise only once a year. If this is considered a real description, then it indicates only the circumpolar regions. According to some researchers, in particular the Indian B. Tilak, who substantiated in the late XIX - early XX century. theory of the Arctic Aryan ancestral home, the myth of Hyperborea is very close to the memories of the Aryan ancestral home in the "Vedas" and "Avesta" - the sacred books of ancient Indian and ancient Iranian religions.
According to many indications, Hyperborea was located behind the Riphean mountains, and also this circumpolar country, from where the ancient Aryans came, was located behind the mountains of Meru. Researchers who tried to combine these indications with real geography identified either the Ural Range or the Scandinavian Range with these mountains. But neither one nor the other fits the descriptions that say that these sacred mountains stretch from west to east. Only the Alps, the Caucasus and the Himalayas have such an arrangement, but they all lie too far to the south to look for the legendary Hyperborea there.
According to some ancient geographers, large rivers flowed from the Riphean mountains, including the Danube (Istres) and the Volga (Araks for Herodotus, Ra for Ptolemy). But in other sources, the rivers flowing from the Riphean mountains are called the Don or the Seversky Donets (Tanais) and the Western Dvina (Khesin), and the mountains themselves are located somewhere "between the Meotian Lake (Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov) and the Sarmatian (Arctic) Ocean." Apparently, according to the ancient geographers, full-flowing rivers flowing along the Russian Plain could only be born somewhere in the mountains. And the name of the Riphean mountains in relation to these hypothetical mountains was taken from mythology as the most appropriate.
Thus, the vast territory of Northern and Eastern Europe and Western Siberia can claim to localize the legendary Hyperborea. Many peoples were settled on it, and it is impossible to say to which of them the characteristics of the Hyperboreans mentioned in ancient literature fit, because these characteristics are fantastic. Consequently, under the names "Hyperborea" and "Hyperborea" the ancient authors hardly knew any specific lands and peoples. These are conditional collective names of the lands and peoples of the extreme (according to the concepts of the ancient Greeks and Romans) North in general, about which nothing reliable is known.
hyperborea
Increasingly, the modern version of the ancient history of mankind is being questioned. And especially shrouded in mystery. Where did it come from? Why is the history of Russia studied only from the 9th century? Did the developed and strong state of Kievan Rus appear out of nowhere? And what happened before in the vast fertile territories of Russia? At school, they study Ancient Greece and Rome, but they don’t talk about Ancient Russia. But if you carefully read the works of ancient Greek historians and scientists of other ancient peoples, they all describe a developed and strong state in the north and call it Hyperborea.
When studying ancient history, it is necessary to take into account the influence of many factors, because climate and geological processes strongly influence the development of culture and historical development. And modern historians judge ancient history mainly by archaeological data. And if there are no written sources preserved in the north of Europe, as in Greece, Egypt or the East, they conclude that no one lived there or people were at a primitive level of development. But, judging by this principle, in the event of a catastrophe, there will be no traces at all from modern civilization in a few hundred years. But interest in the ancient past of Russia has recently begun to intensify, especially since there have been new archaeological discoveries that prove the existence of an ancient people on the territory of our country, which the Greeks called the Boreans.
What kind of ancient country is Hyperborea?
A lot about this country can be found in the writings Herodotus, who is called the father of history, and in later writings Pliny the Elder. They describe in detail not only the climate of this country and its features, for example, that the sun sets there once a year, but also people. Judging by the writings of these historians, the ancient Greeks communicated with these people, visited them, and exchanged things.
In search of Hyperborea - lecture by Chudinov
Herodotus called these people Hyperboreans and described them as strong, healthy people who do not get sick and do not know troubles. According to him, every year the Hyperboreans brought gifts to Greece, for example, precious stones. Hellenes considered the Hyperboreans close to themselves not only in culture, but also in language. Hyperborea was located by ancient Greek historians in the north of Europe - behind the north wind - Boreas.
Mentions of a forgotten land
In addition to these historians, many ancient scientists wrote about Hyperborea, and Ptolemy even reflected this country on the map. In the Middle Ages Gerhard Mercator a detailed map of Hyperborea was created, he located this legendary country on the territory of modern Kola Peninsula . Many maps of Hyperborea were created earlier, the names of the islands are indicated. The legendary island of Thule was also located in Hyperborea. In Russian, even a similar name has been preserved - the city of Tula. The scientist mentions the land of Thule Strabo and says that to this country sail six days north of Britain.
In the epic of other peoples, there is also a mention of Hyperborea. Scandinavian myths tell of a giant who freed himself from ice, who had a son, Bor, their ancestor. But at that time Europe was covered with a glacier, which began to melt about 20 thousand years ago. Most likely, Scandinavian myths tell about this time. The fact that in the north of Europe in ancient times there was a great country was also written by the southern peoples. In ancient Iranian Avesta and Vedas from India tells about a fertile country in the north, from where people settled all over the world. Already at the end 19th century Indian scientist Tilak, after analyzing the ancient Indian books, concluded that ancestors Indians came to India from the far north.
In Russian myths and fairy tales, this country is called the “kingdom under the sun” or the “Macarian Islands”. But over time, information about this country was erased in the memory of the people. Only the saying remained: "where Makar did not drive calves."
Our ancestors are the gods of Hyperborea
In search of the lost Hyperborea
For the first time, Catherine the Great took up the search for Hyperborea. She organized a secret expedition to the North Pole led by Vasily Chichagov. After that, interest in Hyperborea increased in many countries. Many books have been written about the mysterious northern ancestral home of mankind. For example, a book Warren “Paradise Lost, or the Motherland of Humanity“, Tilaka “Arctic homeland in the Vedas“, Sanskritayana “From the Volga to the Ganges”and many studies by Russian scientists.
Since the middle of the 20th century, many expeditions have been working on the Kola Peninsula, which have discovered the existence of voids and artificial tunnels underground. The most famous expedition was in 1997 led by Professor Valery Demin. Ancient ruins were found, stone slabs with traces of processing dating back to 20 thousand years old. Results of research on the Kola Peninsula Demin summarized in the book Secrets of the Russian people“. During the expedition, the most ancient pyramids in the world, sanctuaries - seids, rock images and even traces of the most ancient workings of precious stones were discovered.

Secrets of humanity
Hyperborea is one of the legendary countries of antiquity, but for some reason less has been written about it compared to Atlantis. Although no traces of Atlantis remained, and the remains of Hyperborea were found. So maybe what is written in ancient books is true, and humanity really lived in the North of Europe in ancient times? Why do Russians believe the modern version of history, which considers Russians to be the youngest people, although studies have shown that the opposite is true: it is precisely the ancestors of the Russians who are those legendary Hyperboreans whom the ancient Greeks admired.
The mission of Russian civilization. Victor Efimov
In fact, until the very end XX centuries, even for intellectual scientists, this word meant only a certain mysterious northern country from Hellenic mythology. No more. True, a century earlier, the success of Heinrich Schliemann, an archeological enthusiast, forced almost all, even scientists who were extremely skeptical of “different myths and fairy tales”, to treat everything that was reported by the ancient myths of Hellas with utmost respect. But! With regard to Hyperborea, this convincing archaeological and mythological success of Schliemann, unfortunately, meant little.
You ask - why?
Because the territory, in which, according to all mythological signs, Hyperborea should have been sought and found, was reliably hidden from researchers by its remoteness, the severity of the climate, border, military and other forbidden zones, arranged in abundance in these places in the former USSR. If we add to this the utter indifference on the part of the "secular" Russian bosses, the neglect and even frank unwillingness shown by them to establish the historical truth regarding the Hyperborean myth, then is it any wonder that this wonderful country of the Golden Age of the former human civilization, the country of the ancient, so well known to us from children's fairy tales, was listed only in esoteric, but not in academic realities.
Fortunately, this is now in the past.
Thanks to Russian ascetic scientists, in just a couple of decades, Hyperborea - a mere trifle by historical standards - has risen from historical non-existence. And now, with some incredibly fantastic speed, it is turning not only into a socio-cultural, but also a phenomenon. III millennium.
Today, the "romantic period" in the study of Hyperborea is left behind. In history, the 90s of the 20th century and the “zero” centuries of the 21st century will be considered such a period. Today, scientists involved in Hyperborea no longer need to be convinced of the existence and high development of this ancient civilization of the Russian North, and Hyperborea itself already endows its researchers with not only historical, but also technical discoveries and officially recognized inventions.
Hyperborea - the Golden Age of mankind - the era of universal Happiness, Justice and Prosperity. The era of life of people who know the Higher - Natural Order, and therefore live long, beautifully and happily, in peace and harmony, knowing neither hunger, nor disease, nor other hardships and hardships.
Isn't this the best formula for the National Idea of any country?
Yes, the philosophy of the sages of Hyperborea, which already once made it possible to build a Golden Age on earth, was already thoroughly forgotten in science. But at the same time, it has been preserved - in the depths of the Soul of each person in the form of a bright hope for the possibility of such a future.
The discovery of the northern civilization of Hyperborea allowed the descendants to return a whole layer and majestic treasury of their ancient Culture. The culture created by their highly developed ancestors. We have regained our glorious Past, which means we can now have a bright Future!
The mysterious country of Hyperborea is known to us from ancient Greek myths, according to which this state was located in the north. Like Atlantis, the existence of this highly developed state is not confirmed by reliable historical or archaeological sources. Separate and rather modest archaeological finds in the northern regions are known, but their connection with the mysterious ancient country is controversial and therefore not recognized by official science. Hyperborea was depicted on some old European maps up to the Middle Ages, but rather due to tradition.
Ancient and medieval European maps in general are incredibly abundantly “populated” with the most bizarre peoples and incredible states located outside the world explored by European travelers. The country where Hyperborea was located in ancient times is not exactly known. Various researchers express versions about the Arctic, Greenland, the Kola Peninsula and the Taimyr Peninsula, the Ural Mountains. There is also a hypothesis that Hyperborea was located on some island or small mainland, which subsequently sank as a result of a geological cataclysm. Due to the presence of several versions pointing to the territory of our country, some domestic esotericists suggest that in a symbolic sense, modern Russia is the heiress of Hyperborea.
At first glance, the extreme conditions of the far north do not look very suitable for the formation of a highly developed civilization. The achievements of the Eskimos, Chukchi and other northern peoples living in such conditions, to put it mildly, are rather modest. But, firstly, we do not know exactly where the ancient Hyperborea was located, and how cold it was there in that historical era. Maybe the cold on its territory was severe, but not critical for development. The history of Hyperborea, if you try to reconstruct it, may look like this. A highly developed people, for some reason (war?), migrates to the cold northern lands, or is faced with a cooling of the climate on their land. But moderately extreme conditions do not become death for him, but an incentive for the further development of technology and culture. But in the future, this civilization dies due to the fact that the climate becomes more and more cold, putting its people beyond the brink of survival. People begin to migrate en masse to warmer lands. Abandoned dwellings are covered with snow for centuries and covered with an ice shell. It is very possible that Hyperborea is just that mythical ancestral home from which the Aryans left. By the way, the descendants of the Aryans are the Slavs and the Indians.
Secrets of Hyperborea you can try to reconstruct according to ancient Greek myths. There is a plot in them, in which the girls of the Hyperboreans, sent with gifts to the god Apollo in the ancient Greek city of Delos, did not eventually return home. They may have stayed in Delos, taking advantage of the warmer climate. After that, the Hyperboreans began to send gifts to Apollo through the inhabitants of the countries located between them and ancient Greece. If you remove the veil of myth, then we can assume that initially the Hyperboreans conducted direct trade with the cities of ancient Greece, supplying some valuable resource there in exchange for the resources they lacked, such as grain. Maybe amber, which the Greeks considered a solar stone and could well be sacrificed to the sun god Apollo, finishing his temples with it? But then the Hyperboreans, for some reason, switched to trading through intermediaries. Perhaps the emigration of their citizens to sunny Ancient Greece or their return home (from trading expeditions) with stories about a distant sunny country were perceived by the Hyperborean nobility as a threat to the existence of the state and direct contacts ceased.
According to the data provided in the Internet portal “Geography. Planet Earth ", the South Pole in the Paleogene (time not specified) was about 81 ° S. sh. and 94° E
The more southerly position of the north pole in the Eocene time is in good agreement with the results of the study of fossil flora, according to which plant remains from the northern coasts of Europe and Asia are characteristic of a temperate warm and subtropical climate, and plant remains found near the modern north pole on the submarine Lomonosov Ridge are characteristic of subtropical and tropical climates.
