Attila Kagan of the Huns from the kind of Velsung

Historiography

However, in historiography XVIII – 1st floor. XIX centuries, the Huns were considered Mongols. This point of view was first expressed by Pallas, and then supported by Bergman and Thierry. Joseph de Guinse was the first to express the opinion that the Huns could be of Turkic or Proto-Turk origin. English scientist Peter Heather considers the Huns so-called. “The first group of Turks” invading Europe. The Turkish researcher Kemal Jemal sees confirmation of this version in the facts of the similarity of names and names in the Turkic and Hunnic languages. This version is also accepted by the Hungarian researcher Gyula Nemeth. And it is with this erroneous and unacceptable theory that the following presentation conflicts and refutes the ideas of Joseph de Guin, as if based on nothing. Writes about the history of the Huns Alfan Louis. Great empires of barbarians. From the great migration of peoples to the Turkic conquests of the 11th century. Gumilyov’s significant book on the Huns, the book of M. I. Artamonov, “History of the Khazars”, also made a considerable contribution to the study of this problem.

Adam of Bremen writes in the Slavonic Chronicles, “that the Danes called Russia Ostrogard or Hunigard,” that is, the country of the Huns. The Chronicles say that the River Ens was the border between the Huns and the Bavarians, that is, that the Western Slavs were also considered Huns. The Gustrow ode says that the encouragers wrote from the Ob River, that is, they are also Huns, and the Bronze Age mounds in Germany are called the graves of the Huns. Hansa, the medieval trade and political union of the North German cities, is also called the city of Azerbaijan, Ganza, and this area was in the sphere of influence of the Ephtalite Huns. Mavro Orbini speaks of the island of Philopodius, as he writes in his book “Slavic Kingdom,” the Russians from Biarmia discovered it, and it is inhabited by Slavs, and the island is also called New Earth. As you know, this island is located opposite the Yamal Peninsula. The word “Philopodius” in Greek means “holding Love, the basis of Love”, but Love is the quintessence of the divine essence. In favor of the fact that it is Yamal that is the ancestral home of the Huns and all Indo-European peoples, and says all of the following in this book.

The geography of the region from the Volga and the Don to the Danube and the Ob

The Yamnaya culture, which is generally accepted in modern science, is Indo-European, and in international science it is proved that the Indo-Europeans came to Europe from the Ciscaucasia, and specifically the Volga and Don region, and in the Anglo-Saxon passports of the white Europeans are called “Caucasians”, that is, immigrants from Of the Caucasus. The pits were shepherds, but were not nomads, and the structure of food and social wealth was based on cattle breeding and dairy farming.The measure of wealth, in the “Iliad” and “Odyssey” of Homer, and in the Vedas of India was the presence of bulls and cows in the household. Being a shepherd was an honorable and respected occupation, the god Krishna in India is called the Shepherd, Gopal, and his girls “GOPI”, that is, shepherdesses, accompany him. Homer calls Apollo also herding cows on the slopes of Mount Ida, when Apollo and Poseidon built the walls of Troy to King Laomedont. Cattle breeding in itself lays the need for a large amount of water and grass for animals, and therefore the cattle breeders were and are residents of Finland and Russian Pomerania, as well as the Volga and Ural regions, then eat with plenty of water and grass. That is, these cattle breeders naturally tried to occupy lands with a large amount of water, grass, and spread west and south through the basins of full-flowing rivers. And therefore, the appearance of these tribes on the Danube River in the early days, where they are mentioned in the written sources of Ancient Greece and Rome, is quite natural. The toponymy, the names of the settlements on the Danube speaks of this, these are the cities of Staraya Rasa in Serbia and the city of Savaria in Hungary, now called Sambathei (by the way, Sambatei was so called one of the suburbs of Kiev, and Konstantin Bagryanorodny writes about it). So the shepherds penetrated all the rivers suitable for the milk valley, and captured them.

Ancient Huns-Huns

It’s extremely interesting that “Gustrow Ode says that the encouraged people came from the Ob River,

“And the wind drove majestically the waters of the rivers,

So that the Ocean can feel their running

Connecting together the Elbe, Wesel, Ob,

Where the Nereids play in the waves.

From there, our Mecklenburg traveled a long way,

Through the land of Rus to his princess: “Gustrow Ode.

In Germany, giants are called, interestingly, hunami. (in Russian transcription the spelling of “guna” would be more correct, but the “huna” more conveys the German pronunciation). This word is characteristic of continental Germany and Holland and means giant. In addition, there are other words denoting giants, and, as the legend from Pomerania shows above, sometimes this word even required clarification (“giants, which were called huns”). a. In most German legends and traditions, megaliths and ancient mounds are usually associated with giants, the former primordial population of northern Germany. According to legend, when one of the huns died, then he was buried in a stone box, littered with a huge number of the largest stones. Such tombs are called the graves of the Huns (giants). So the Rügen legend says that the largest mound on Rügen, dating back to the Bronze Age – Doberworth – arose from the fact that there once lived a giantess who wanted to marry the Rügen prince. That is, for the Wends, the giant could be considered as some kind of legendary ancestor and defender, unlike the Germans, and an example here is the legend of the Lusatian Serbs about the giant Sprejnik, who helped them. The tomb of King Hinz is a word-of-mouth story of 3000 years. [Germany] One of the most significant historical monuments of the Bronze Age – the so-called “tomb of the king” – is located in the historic region of Prignitz, in the north-west of the federal state of Brandenburg. The monument is the largest in Germany and one of the largest tomb mounds in Europe. Archaeological excavations confirmed the name – this is really the burial place of the powerful ruler of that era. But the most interesting thing in this whole story is that this is an extremely rare, even unique case, when folk traditions in the last century retained the memory of events several thousand years old. In the 19th century, in the remote countryside of Prignitz, north of Brandenburg, legends were spread among peasants about countless treasures buried in the grave of the king of giants (guns), which was repeatedly recorded by German local historians.

“Legends about the king of giants are told all over Prinitsa,” noted German researcher E. Friedel.Another German collector of ancient legends – Adalbert Kun – in 1843 reports that peasants from the village of Chemnitz, near Pritzwalk, spent three days digging a giant’s grave (i.e., an ancient mound) in search of a golden coffin in which, like believed that the king of giants (huns) was buried. However, instead, they found only a few pots with ashes, which were a lot upset. That is, a burial in the form of cremation was recorded. For the first time, the legend that the golden coffin is located exactly under the barrow in Seddin was recorded by the German explorer Ledebur in 1844: “There is a large stone hill on the agricultural field. Many tell the legend that the king of encouraged in a gold coffin is buried under him.” It was called Mount Garlin, by the name of the last owner of this land, but more often it was called Mount Hinze, because according to legend, the king of the giants Heinz or Hinze was buried under it. This king, according to legend, rests in a golden coffin, and the golden coffin itself stands in a silver coffin, and the silver coffin in a bronze one. The king should have his golden sword and other things. “But so far all this has not been verified by excavations. In 1899 an expedition took place, which ended quite successfully. True, the reality was much more prosaic. The first “coffin” turned out to be a stone chamber in which a large ceramic vessel was left – the second “coffin” of tradition. In this ceramic vessel there was another, very elegantly finished, vessel made of bronze with the ashes of the deceased – the third, “golden” coffin of King Hinze. The king’s sword was also found in the burial chamber, but not gold, but bronze. In addition to the sword, the deceased was left with another rich inventory – decorated with bronze knives, battle axes, bracelets, rings and more. So the tradition was confirmed. And it turns out an extremely interesting fact – the legend was preserved among the Germanized Slavs, and according to generally accepted history, the Slavs came to Pomerania in the 5—6th centuries AD. e, and the finds are dated to the 10th century. BC. therefore, the Slavs (or some part of them) already lived on this earth earlier. But this coincides with the story narrated by the Gustrowian Ode, that is, the encouraged people came from the Ob River, and according to the finds, the legendary Hun-Huns also lived there.

Artifacts from the mound of King Hinze (Hunze).

This find made a real sensation in Germany at one time. Still, the case in all senses is unique – both the burial itself, and even more so that the memory of it was preserved in detail for almost 3000 years! But the tradition was extremely stable. The German peasants were far from the first to know the story of the king buried in three precious coffins. This is how the Gothic historian Jordan described in the 6th century AD death of Attila – the legendary leader of the Huns:

“After he was mourned by such moaning, they celebrate” Strava “on his mound (as they themselves call it), accompanying it with a huge feast. Combining the opposite [feelings], they express the funeral grief mixed with glee. Secretly, the corpse is buried at night by night, firmly imprisoned in [three] coffins – the first of gold, the second of silver, the third of strong iron. ([Jordan, Getika)

And again, three coffins: iron, silver, gold, and again this is about the Huns, the truth is about Attila, and the Slavic terminology of the funeral feast is used here.

Volota (velets) – East Slavic mythological characters known from folklore and from some medieval manuscripts, in ancient Russian texts volota – giant and beautiful ancestors of people who grew from seeded Serpentine teeth. In folklore traditions, volots are heroic giants, tearing trees and moving mountains. According to legend, they turned into stones or left alive in the ground. Their graves are mounds called “volotovki”, “volotki”. In many legends, volots belong to the other world. Researchers point to the similarity of the images of Volot and the pagan deity Volos. But there is also the word Giant, which consists of two roots, “Veli-Kan”, as you can see, Veli-from Volot, as -gan is quite consonant with the Huns of Pomerania, especially since the name The mound is also formed from the “Burial of Ghana” (Chickens – possession, chicken, Cossack, translation of the word possession, and hence the city name is the name of the city of Kursk). In terms of meaning, this concept is completely identical to German Pomerania, as the burial place of giants-huns. The finds of the temporal rings of the Volyn type in Gnezdovo and on the Volga are also interesting already in historical time, dating back to the 10th century. As described above, these temporal rings are characteristic of the Caucasus Huns of the 6th century AD and are found in Yamal., And the temporal rings of the Slavs are one of the most accurate indicators of the classification of tribal affiliations of Slavic tribes, and similar rings were found in 2008. on the island of Bornholm M.Naum.

GIANTS AND GANS OF GREECE

There were memories of giants in Hellas, but there they were called Giants (dr. Greek Γίγαντες; singular Γίγας) – in ancient Greek mythology, giants. That is the creation of the Earth. There are myths about the struggle of giants with the gods of Olympus, gigantomakhiya (Greek. Γῐγαντομᾰχία, literally. “Battle with giants”). Describe giants as huge monsters with a human body to the waist, with dragon tails instead of legs (born from Gaia and Tartarus

They had shaggy thick hair and long beards. The lower limbs passed into the dragon-covered bodies of dragons. By tradition, every giant was armed with a spear. The battle took place on the Flegreysky fields (Phlegraei Campi, τά Φλεγραία πεδία, ή Φλέγρα, property “scorched earth”), which are usually placed in volcanic countries (in the Far West, in the Campaign of Arcadia, Thessaly and others. Giants were born, according to legend, according to legend also on Flegreysky fields or on Pallen. Only the latest authors report on the struggle of giants with Zeus and other Olympians, gigantomakhii (other Greek. γῐγαντομᾰχία, letters. So, according to a mythical legend, Gaia, angry by the conclusion of the titans in Tartarus, gave birth to an ogro many monsters with a human body to the waist, with dragon tails instead of legs (born from Gaia and Tartarus). They had shaggy thick hair and long beards. The lower extremities turned into dragon-covered bodies of dragons. By tradition, every giant was armed with a spear (Polybot exception Poseidon’s enemy fought with a trident, like the god of the seas himself.) There were 150 giants in total, but among them there were only 12 of the most important and powerful ones that were supposed to defeat the twelve gods of Olympus: one giant for one Olympian god. Thus, the oldest giant named Alkioney was born with the goal of overthrowing Hades himself, Enkelad was the enemy of Athena, Polybot was born to destroy Poseidon, Mimant was the doom of Hephaestus, and Porfirion was the rival of Zeus. But these giants, according to the prophecy of the goddesses of fate and Hera (wife of Zeus) were vulnerable: they can be killed by a god, but only with the help of the forces of a demigod. Therefore, the gods called the ancient heroes to help in the new war. From the Phlegrean fields, which are usually located in volcanic countries (in the Far West, in Campania, Arcadia of Thessaly, etc.), they began to hit the rocks with burning fragments and burning tree trunks. Born on Flegreysky fields or on Pallen. According to the Arcadians, the battle took place at the town of Baphos in Arcadia.

A terrible battle broke out in which the gods, thanks to the help of the Cyclops, the hundred-armed giants and Heracles, won and killed the giants: some of them were buried under volcanic islands (e.g. Enkelad – under Sicily, Polybot – under Kos.According to Lucan, Athena showed them the head of the Gorgon, and they became mountains.

The word Γίγαντες consists of two words of Gei (dr.) Γῆ, Γᾶ, Γαῖα – “Earth” and γαντες. The name of the giants of Hellas is also similar to the Pomeranian huns, and the Slavic gans (Kans, Velikans) and are associated with the serpent cult, like the Huns of Eurasia.

And this is what Homer writes about a leader named Guney. (Gunei (dr. Greek. Γουνεύς)) a character in ancient Greek mythology. He is the son of Okit and Avrophyta, from Kif, from north-western Thessaly, he brought the Enian under Troy on 22 ships, Gunei was called the leader of the Enian and Perreb, and upon his return he fell into a storm near Mount Kafereya. Leaving the ships, he arrived in Libya and settled on the banks of the Kinipa River. Here, under the name Enian Homer, he gives the oldest mention of the Wends (enedis, which Quintus Rufus refers to as genetics as well. I must say that the word WANAX, the king, the Greeks pronounced ANAX).

But from Kifa Gunei with twenty and two ships

Sailing, leading the Enians and warlike, strong perb,

The tribe of husbands who settled near Dodona cold,

The land of the plowers, by which the cheerful Titaresius makes noise,

Swiftly in Penny the sweeping lushly rolling waters,

Which doesn’t merge with Peneus silverfish anywhere,

Homer. Iliad II 748.

That is, Homer indicates where the Huns-Gantts lived at a time close to him-in Thessaly, where it was possible to engage in horse breeding, and here eneti-venets are mentioned. And next to the Huns, which will be important in other parts of the book. The leader of the Huns of Asia Minor was obviously Gannimed, the hero of the Hellenic epic. According to myths, he was a Trojan prince, and for beauty was taken alive to heaven by Zeus himself. And here, it should be remembered that judging by the findings in Troy lobed temporal rings, jade axes, incredibly similar to stone with the axes of the Borodino treasure, attributable to the Seyminsky —Turbino culture, Troy of the same time obviously also belonged to this culture. And the name Gannimed – “Leader of the Gans” here does not look like an accident, but shows that the Hellenes remembered the name of the tribe that came from Asia.

Giants of Russia

And judging by the numerous finds, the serpentine (dragon) cult and with the Sarmatians (their banners, judging by Bannikov, were in the form of developing dragons), and with the inhabitants of Yamal. You can also recall similar mythological creatures, described similarly, and who also lived in the North, and these are the Gundyrs of the Komi people. Gundyr is the image of the many-headed giant in the Komi mythology. In folklore, Komi-Zyryan and Komi-Permyaks Gundyr had a human image, but under the influence of Russian folklore he turned into a giant snake or dragon. The ceremonial dishes of the Pozdnyakovskaya culture, from the island of Rugen, and the Andronovo culture, which are identical in form and attribute, are also interesting.

The vessels of bronze with the eyes of the Sarmatians and the inhabitants of the Yamal Peninsula are identical.

It is no coincidence in this series of myths and Indians. About the army of Shiva, who was called the Gans, Ganapati (Ganesha) was considered the leader of this sacred army. God’s warrior Skanda, he is also known as Kartikkeya, is considered to be his double, and according to legend, the Indo-Aryans came from the North, and this is evident from the similarities between the descriptions of Apollon Illos (Ullis) and Krishna, and judging by the toponymy of the region, from the region between modern Vologda and the Yamal Peninsula.

On Yamal, the first finds of the remains of people of a European type were recorded in 1935. The oldest find is dated 1—2 century AD (treasure of various valuable things). Mummies of people, Caucasoids were found (these are mummies, preserved in permafrost, they still preserved red hair from human remains) buried in birch bark coffins with household items, and many richest finds were found, the most famous of which is a silver dish with the image of the ascension Alexander the Great. The legends of the giants living on the northern islands are also transmitted by Adam of Bremen in the Slavonic Chronicles. According to him, the friezes reached the island in the Far North, hidden by fog and fenced off on all sides by mountains, and the island is inhabited by giants living in caves, and in there were many treasures, some of which the Friesians managed to steal.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the Ghana-Huns-Huns are identical, and judging by the legends of different Indo-European and Finnish peoples, they are servants of the gods (Attila the God of God), one of the cult attributes is the worship of a snake (dragon), they are characterized by the burial of the mound type (and cremation and inhumation), women wore temporal rings of the Volyn type, as well as snake-shaped jewelry. And the historical Huns, at least part of them, were not of Mongolian origin at all, and came from the territory of the Russian North, and more than once. Their habitat was highly revered by the surrounding peoples, so there are many finds of Iranian and Byzantine origin, confirming this.

The place of the exodus of the Indo-Europeans and the emergence of ancient cults

The location of the ancestral home of the Indo-Europeans has always been a stumbling block for the scientific community and I would like to give a number of arguments for the primary habitat in the Ob-Yamal, Pechora, Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions and the islands of Novaya Zemlya. What makes it possible to come up with such an unconditional opinion? This geographical reference to this area is due to myths and tales of Ganesha, Skanda, Indrik-beast. No one can argue that this is the closest place to the European part of the continent where the remains of mammoths are massively found, and one of the most famous is Yamal, and the most famous find is the Yamal mammoth Masha (Tikhonov A.N., Khrabry V.M. Mammoth from Yamal, journal Nature. 1989. No. 6 P. 47)

So. What kind of beast is Indrik, and what evidence of him remains? In the Russian apocrypha, especially in numerous versions of the “Spiritual Verse on the Pigeon Book”, the name of this beast is in various forms: Indrok, Indra, Kondryk, Beloyandrik, Vyndrik, Unicorn, Unicorn and Unicorn. Name options can be summarized in two:

Indrik and Unicorn (the name White is also important):

Beast mother to all beasts…

And he was digging with his horn mother cheese to the earth,

Dug the keys all deep,

He took out all the boiling water.

This beast lives over the ocean-sea,

And he walks here through the dungeon…

Passes all the mountains of white stone,

Cleans streams and grooves,

Skips rivers, cold fountains…

The Pigeon Book

In different lists of the verse about the Pigeon Book there are various features in the image of Indrik, but in all he is called “father to all beasts.” He walks the dungeon, “skips rivers and lodges, or lives on Tabor Mountain (that is, Mountain of Light,” “when he turns around, all the animals worship him.” Or he lives on the Holy Mountain, eats and drinks from the Blue Sea He doesn’t hurt anyone. Or he walks through the dungeon like a “sun through the skies.” The “Pigeon Book” is a collection of East Slavic folk spiritual poems from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, the questions and answers of which provide information about the origin of the world. The book united both Christian and pagan motives. the tragedy of the schism in Orthodoxy, and was preserved among the Old Believers. According to Russian folklore, Indrik is endowed with the features of the owner of the water elements, springs and founts, and acts as an adversary of the snake. Indrik, as the owner of the water element, is close to the mythical bird Syrin – the symbol of water and fertility. Images of Indrik are often combined with a “wicker”, which in ancient times means water. Often, in the works of folklore, the “homeland” of Indrik the beast is called – full of wonders of the Indus-land – India, which is not accidental, but Indium was somewhat in the history of Indo-European migration, and one was later described by Herodotus in the Caucasus as Sindika, an area in the Kuban region.
