Chronicle of the ancient Slavic state before the formation of Rus'. Paganism of Ancient Rus': hierarchy of gods, Slavic rituals and amulets Lada - goddess of love and beauty
Long before the formation of Rus', the ancient Slavs had one of the largest state formations, which existed, according to scientists, from 1600 to 2500 thousand years and was destroyed by the Goths in 368 AD.
The chronicle of the ancient Slavic state was almost forgotten thanks to the German professors who wrote Russian history and set as their goal to rejuvenate the history of Rus', to show that the Slavic peoples were supposedly pristine, not stained by the actions of the Russians, Antes, barbarians, Vandals and Scythians, whom the whole world remembered very well .
The goal is to tear Rus' away from the Scythian past. Based on the work of German professors, a domestic historical school arose. All history textbooks teach us that before baptism, wild tribes lived in Rus' - “pagans”.
This is a big Lie, because history has been rewritten many times to please the existing ruling system - starting with the first Romanovs, i.e. history is interpreted as beneficial at the moment to the ruling class. Among the Slavs, their past is called Heritage or Chronicle, and not History (the word “Let” preceded, introduced by Peter the Great in 7208 years from S.M.Z.H., the concept of “year”, when instead of the Slavic chronology they introduced 1700 from the supposed Nativity of Christ). S.M.Z.H. - this is the Creation / signing / of Peace with the Arim / Chinese / in the summer called the Star Temple - after the end of the Great World War (something like May 9, 1945, but more significant for the Slavs).
Therefore, is it worth trusting textbooks that, even in our memory, have been rewritten more than once? And is it worth trusting textbooks that contradict many facts that say that before baptism, in Rus' there was a huge state with many cities and towns (Country of Cities), a developed economy and crafts, with its own unique Culture (Culture = Kultura = Cult of Ra = Cult of Light). Our ancestors who lived in those days had a vital Wisdom and worldview that helped them always act according to their Conscience and live in harmony with the world around them. This attitude to the World is now called the Old Faith (“old” means “pre-Christian”, and previously it was called simply - Faith - Knowledge of Ra - Knowledge of Light - Knowledge of the Shining Truth of the Almighty). Faith is primary, and Religion (for example, Christian) is secondary. The word “Religion” comes from “Re” - repetition, “League” - connection, unification. Faith is always one (there is either a connection with God or there is not), and there are many religions - as many as there are Gods among the people or as many ways as intermediaries (popes, patriarchs, priests, rabbis, mullahs, etc.) come up with to establish connection with them.
Since the connection with God established through third parties - intermediaries, for example - priests, is artificial, then, in order not to lose the flock, each religion claims to be “Truth in the first instance.” Because of this, many bloody religious wars have been and are being waged.
Mikhailo Vasilyevich Lomonosov fought alone against the German professorship, arguing that the history of the Slavs goes back to ancient times.
The ancient Slavic state RUSKOLAN occupied lands from the Danube and the Carpathians to the Crimea, the North Caucasus and the Volga, and the subject lands captured the Trans-Volga and South Ural steppes.
The Scandinavian name for Rus' sounds like Gardarika - a country of cities. Arab historians also write about the same thing, numbering Russian cities in the hundreds. At the same time, claiming that in Byzantium there are only five cities, the rest are “fortified fortresses.” In ancient documents, the state of the Slavs is referred to as Scythia and Ruskolan.
The word “Ruskolan” has the syllable “lan”, which is present in the words “hand”, “valley” and means: space, territory, place, region. Subsequently, the syllable “lan” was transformed into the European land - country. Sergei Lesnoy in his book “Where are you from, Rus'?” says the following: “With regard to the word “Ruskolun”, it should be noted that there is also a variant “Ruskolan”. If the latter option is more correct, then the word can be understood differently: “Russian doe.” Lan - field. The whole expression: “Russian field.” In addition, Lesnoy makes the assumption that there was a word “cleaver”, which probably meant some kind of space. It is also found in other verbal environments. Historians and linguists also believe that the name of the state “Ruskolan” could come from two words “Rus” and “Alan” after the names of the Rus and Alans who lived in a single state.
Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov had the same opinion, who wrote:
“The same tribe of Alans and Roxolans is clear from many places of ancient historians and geographers, and the difference is that Alans are the common name of an entire people, and Roxolans are a word derived from their place of residence, which, not without reason, is derived from the River Ra, as among ancient writers is known as Volga (VolGa).”
The ancient historian and scientist Pliny puts the Alans and Roxolans together. Roksolane, by the ancient scientist and geographer Ptolemy, is called Alanorsi by figurative addition. The names Aorsi and Roxane or Rossane in Strabo - “the exact unity of the Rosses and Alans asserts, to which the reliability is increased, that they were both of the Slavic generation, then that the Sarmatians were of the same tribe from ancient writers and are therefore attested to have the same roots with the Varangians-Russians.”
Let us also note that Lomonosov also refers to the Varangians as Russians, which once again shows the fraud of the German professors, who deliberately called the Varangians a stranger, and not a Slavic people. This manipulation and the birth of a legend about the calling of a foreign tribe to reign in Rus' had a political background so that once again the “enlightened” West could point out to the “wild” Slavs their denseness, and that it was thanks to the Europeans that the Slavic state was created. Modern historians, in addition to adherents of the Norman theory, also agree that the Varangians are precisely a Slavic tribe.
Lomonosov writes:
“According to Helmold’s testimony, the Alans were mixed with the Kurlanders, the same tribe of the Varangian-Russians.”
Lomonosov writes - Varangians-Russians, and not Varangians-Scandinavians, or Varangians-Goths. In all documents of the pre-Christian period, the Varangians were classified as Slavs.
Lomonosov further writes:
“The Rugen Slavs were called for short the Ranas, that is, from the Ra (Volga) River, and the Rossans. This will be more clearly demonstrated by their resettlement to the Varangian shores. Weissel from Bohemia suggests that the Amakosovians, Alans, and Wends came from the east to Prussia.”
Lomonosov writes about the Rugen Slavs. It is known that on the island of Rügen in the city of Arkona there was the last Slavic pagan temple, destroyed in 1168. Now there is a Slavic museum there.
Lomonosov writes that it was from the east that Slavic tribes came to Prussia and the island of Rügen and adds:
“Such a resettlement of the Volga Alans, that is, Rossans or Rosses, to the Baltic Sea took place, as can be seen from the evidence given above by the authors, not just once and not in a short time, as is clear from the traces that have remained to this day, with which the names of cities and rivers are honored must"
But let's return to the Slavic state.
The capital of Ruskolani, the city of Kiyar, was located in the Caucasus, in the Elbrus region near the modern villages of Upper Chegem and Bezengi. Sometimes it was also called Kiyar Antsky, named after the Slavic tribe of Ants. The results of the expeditions to the site of the ancient Slavic city will be written at the end. Descriptions of this Slavic city can be found in ancient documents.
“Avesta” in one place talks about the main city of the Scythians in the Caucasus, near one of the highest mountains in the world. And as you know, Elbrus is the highest mountain not only in the Caucasus, but also in Europe in general. "Rigveda" tells about the main city of the Rus, all on the same Elbrus.
Kiyar is mentioned in the Book of Veles. Judging by the text, Kiyar, or the city of Kiya the Old, was founded 1300 years before the fall of Ruskolani (368 AD), i.e. in the 9th century BC.
The ancient Greek geographer Strabo, who lived in the 1st century. BC. - early 1st century AD writes about the Temple of the Sun and the sanctuary of the Golden Fleece in the sacred city of the Russians, in the Elbrus region, on the top of Mount Tuzuluk.
Our contemporaries discovered the foundation of an ancient structure on the mountain. Its height is about 40 meters, and the diameter of the base is 150 meters: the ratio is the same as that of the Egyptian pyramids and other religious buildings of antiquity. There are many obvious and not at all random patterns in the parameters of the mountain and the temple. The observatory-temple was created according to a “standard” design and, like other Cyclopean structures - Stonehenge and Arkaim - was intended for astrological observations.
In the legends of many peoples there is evidence of the construction on the sacred Mount Alatyr (modern name - Elbrus) of this majestic structure, revered by all ancient peoples. There are mentions of it in the national epic of the Greeks, Arabs, and European peoples. According to Zoroastrian legends, this temple was captured by Rus (Rustam) in Usenem (Kavi Useinas) in the second millennium BC. Archaeologists officially note at this time the emergence of the Koban culture in the Caucasus and the appearance of the Scythian-Sarmatian tribes.
The temple of the Sun is also mentioned by the geographer Strabo, placing in it the sanctuary of the Golden Fleece and the oracle of Eetus. There are detailed descriptions of this temple and evidence that astronomical observations were carried out there.
The Sun Temple was a veritable paleoastronomical observatory of antiquity. Priests who had certain knowledge created such observatory temples and studied stellar science. There, not only dates for farming were calculated, but, most importantly, the most important milestones in world and spiritual history were determined.
The Arab historian Al Masudi described the Temple of the Sun on Elbrus as follows: “In the Slavic regions there were buildings revered by them. Among the others they had a building on a mountain, about which philosophers wrote that it was one of the highest mountains in the world. There is a story about this building: about the quality of its construction, about the arrangement of its different stones and their different colors, about the holes made in the upper part of it, about what was built in these holes for observing the sunrise, about the precious stones placed there and the signs marked in it, which indicate future events and warn against incidents before their implementation, about the sounds heard in the upper part of it and about what befalls them when listening to these sounds.”
In addition to the above documents, information about the main ancient Slavic city, the Temple of the Sun and the Slavic state as a whole is in the Elder Edda, in Persian, Scandinavian and ancient Germanic sources, in the Book of Veles. If you believe the legends, near the city of Kiyar (Kiev) there was the sacred Mount Alatyr - archaeologists believe that it was Elbrus. Next to it was the Iriysky, or Garden of Eden, and the Smorodina River, which separated the earthly and afterlife worlds, and connected Yav and Nav (that Light) Kalinov Bridge.
This is how they talk about two wars between the Goths (an ancient Germanic tribe) and the Slavs, the invasion of the Goths into the ancient Slavic state by the Gothic historian of the 4th century Jordan in his book “The History of the Goths” and “The Book of Veles”. In the middle of the 4th century, the Gothic king Germanarech led his people to conquer the world. He was a great commander. According to Jordanes, he was compared to Alexander the Great. The same thing was written about Germanarakh and Lomonosov:
“Ermanaric, the Ostrogothic king, for his courage in conquering many northern peoples, was compared by some to Alexander the Great.”
Judging by the evidence of Jordan, the Elder Edda and the Book of Veles, Germanarekh, after long wars, captured almost all of Eastern Europe. He fought along the Volga to the Caspian Sea, then fought on the Terek River, crossed the Caucasus, then walked along the Black Sea coast and reached Azov.
According to the “Book of Veles,” Germanarekh first made peace with the Slavs (“drank wine for friendship”), and only then “came against us with a sword.”
The peace treaty between the Slavs and Goths was sealed by the dynastic marriage of the sister of the Slavic prince-tsar Bus - Lebedi and Germanarech. This was payment for peace, for Hermanarekh was many years old at that time (he died at 110 years old, the marriage was concluded shortly before that). According to Edda, Swan-Sva was wooed by the son of Germanarekh Randver, and he took her to his father. And then Earl Bikki, Germanareh’s adviser, told them that it would be better if Randver got the Swan, since both of them were young, and Germanareh was an old man. These words pleased Swan-Sva and Randver, and Jordan adds that Swan-Sva fled from Germanarech. And then Germanareh executed his son and Swan. And this murder was the cause of the Slavic-Gothic War. Having treacherously violated the “peace treaty,” Germanarekh defeated the Slavs in the first battles. But then, when Germanarekh moved into the heart of Ruskolani, the Antes stood in the way of Germanarekh. Germanarekh was defeated. According to Jordan, he was struck in the side with a sword by the Rossomons (Ruskolans) - Sar (king) and Ammius (brother). The Slavic prince Bus and his brother Zlatogor inflicted a mortal wound on Germanarech, and he soon died. This is how Jordan, the Book of Veles, and later Lomonosov wrote about it.
“The Book of Veles”: “And Ruskolan was defeated by the Goths of Germanarakh. And he took a wife from our family and killed her. And then our leaders rushed against him and defeated Germanarekh.”
Jordan. “History is ready”: “The unfaithful family of Rosomons (Ruskolan) ... took advantage of the following opportunity... After all, after the king, driven by rage, ordered a certain woman named Sunhilda (Swan) from the named family to be torn apart for treacherously leaving her husband, tied to fierce horses and prompting the horses to run in different directions, her brothers Sar (King Bus) and Ammius (Zlat), avenging the death of their sister, struck Germanarech in the side with a sword.”
M. Lomonosov: “Sonilda, a noble Roksolan woman, Ermanarik ordered to be torn to pieces by horses because her husband ran away. Her brothers Sar and Ammius, avenging the death of their sister, pierced Yermanarik in the side; died of a wound at one hundred and ten years old"
A few years later, the descendant of Germanarech, Amal Vinitarius, invaded the lands of the Slavic tribe of Antes. In the first battle he was defeated, but then “began to act more decisively,” and the Goths, led by Amal Vinitar, defeated the Slavs. The Slavic prince Busa and 70 other princes were crucified by the Goths on crosses. This happened on the night of March 20-21, 368 AD. On the same night that Bus was crucified, a total lunar eclipse occurred. Also, a monstrous earthquake shook the earth (the entire Black Sea coast shook, there was destruction in Constantinople and Nicaea (ancient historians testify to this. Later, the Slavs gathered strength and defeated the Goths. But the former powerful Slavic state was no longer restored.
“The Book of Veles”: “And then Rus' was defeated again. And Busa and seventy other princes were crucified on crosses. And there was great turmoil in Rus' from Amal Vend. And then Sloven gathered Rus' and led it. And that time the Goths were defeated. And we did not allow the Sting to flow anywhere. And everything worked out. And our grandfather Dazhbog rejoiced and greeted the warriors - many of our fathers who won victories. And there were no troubles and many worries, and so the Gothic land became ours. And so it will remain until the end"
Jordan. “History of the Goths”: Amal Vinitarius... moved the army into the territory of the Antes. And when he came to them, he was defeated in the first skirmish, then he behaved more bravely and crucified their king named Boz with his sons and 70 noble people, so that the corpses of the hanged would double the fear of the conquered.”
Bulgarian chronicle “Baraj Tarikha”: “Once in the land of the Anchians, the Galidzians (Galicians) attacked Bus and killed him along with all 70 princes.”
The Slavic prince Busa and 70 Gothic princes were crucified in the eastern Carpathians at the sources of the Seret and Prut, on the current border of Wallachia and Transylvania. In those days, these lands belonged to Ruskolani, or Scythia. Much later, under the famous Vlad Dracula, it was at the site of Bus’s crucifixion that mass executions and crucifixions were held. The bodies of Bus and the rest of the princes were removed from the crosses on Friday and taken to the Elbrus region, to Etaka (a tributary of the Podkumka). According to Caucasian legend, the body of Bus and other princes was brought by eight pairs of oxen. Bus's wife ordered a mound to be built over their grave on the banks of the Etoko River (a tributary of Podkumka) and in order to perpetuate the memory of Bus, she ordered the Altud River to be renamed Baksan (Busa River).
Caucasian legend says:
“Baksan (Bus) was killed by the Gothic king with all his brothers and eighty noble Narts. Hearing this, the people gave in to despair: the men beat their chests, and the women tore out the hair on their heads, saying: “Dauov’s eight sons are killed, killed!”
Those who carefully read “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” remember that it mentions the long-gone Time of Busovo, the year 368, the year of the crucifixion of Prince Busovo, which has an astrological meaning. According to Slavic astrology, this is a milestone. On the night of March 20-21, turn 368, the era of Aries ended and the era of Pisces began.
It was after the story of the crucifixion of Prince Bus, which became known in the ancient world, that the story of the crucifixion of Christ appeared (was stolen) in Christianity.
The canonical Gospels nowhere say that Christ was crucified on the cross. Instead of the word “cross” (kryst), the word “stavros” is used there, which means pillar, and it does not talk about crucifixion, but about pillaring. That is why there are no early Christian images of the crucifixion.
The Christian Acts of the Apostles 10:39 says that Christ was “hanged on a tree.” The plot with the crucifixion first appeared only 400 years later!!! years after the execution of Christ, translated from Greek. The question arises: why, if Christ was crucified and not hanged, did Christians write in their holy books for four hundred years that Christ was hanged? Somehow illogical! It was the Slavic-Scythian tradition that influenced the distortion of the original texts during translation, and then the iconography (for there are no early Christian images of crucifixions).
The meaning of the original Greek text was well known in Greece itself (Byzantium), but after the corresponding reforms were carried out in the modern Greek language, unlike the previous custom, the word “stavros” took on, in addition to the meaning of “pillar,” also the meaning of “cross.”
In addition to the direct source of execution—the canonical Gospels—others are also known. In the Jewish tradition, which is closest to the Christian one, the tradition of the hanging of Jesus is also affirmed. There is a Jewish “Tale of the Hanged Man” written in the first centuries of our era, which describes in detail the execution of Jesus by hanging. And in the Talmud there are two stories about the execution of Christ. According to the first, Jesus was stoned, not in Jerusalem, but in Lud. According to the second story, because Jesus was of royal descent, and stoning was also replaced by hanging. And this was the official version of Christians for 400 years!!!
Even throughout the Muslim world it is generally accepted that Christ was not crucified, but hanged. In the Koran, based on early Christian traditions, Christians are cursed who claim that Jesus was not hanged, but crucified, and who claim that Jesus was Allah (God) himself, and not a prophet and the Messiah, and also denies the crucifixion itself. Therefore, Muslims, while respecting Jesus, do not reject either the Ascension or the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, but they reject the symbol of the cross, since they rely on early Christian texts that speak of hanging, not crucifixion.
Moreover, the natural phenomena described in the Bible simply could not have occurred in Jerusalem on the day of Christ’s crucifixion.
The Gospel of Mark and the Gospel of Matthew say that Christ suffered passionate torment on the spring full moon from Holy Thursday to Good Friday, and that there was an eclipse from the sixth to the ninth hour. The event, which they call an “eclipse,” occurred at a time when, for objective astronomical reasons, it simply could not have happened. Christ was executed during the Jewish Passover, and it always falls on a full moon.
Firstly, there are no solar eclipses during a full moon. During a full moon, the Moon and the Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth, so the Moon cannot block the Earth's sunlight.
Secondly, solar eclipses, unlike lunar eclipses, do not last three hours, as is written about in the Bible. Maybe the Judeo-Christians meant a lunar eclipse, but the whole world did not understand them?...
But solar and lunar eclipses are very easy to calculate. Any astronomer will say that in the year of Christ’s execution and even in the years close to this event there were no lunar eclipses.
The nearest eclipse accurately indicates only one date - the night of March 20-21, 368 AD. This is an absolutely accurate astronomical calculation. Namely, on this night from Thursday to Friday, March 20/21, 368, Prince Bus and 70 other princes were crucified by the Goths. On the night of March 20-21, a total lunar eclipse occurred, which lasted from midnight until three o'clock on March 21, 368. This date was calculated by astronomers, including the director of the Pulkovo Observatory N. Morozov.
Why did Christians write from move 33 that Christ was hanged, and after move 368 they rewrote the “holy” scripture and began to claim that Christ was crucified? Apparently the crucifixion plot seemed more interesting to them and they once again engaged in religious plagiarism - i.e. simply theft... This is where the information in the Bible came from that Christ was crucified, that he suffered torment from Thursday to Friday, that there was an eclipse. Having stolen the plot with the crucifixion, the Jewish Christians decided to provide the Bible with details of the execution of the Slavic prince, without thinking that people in the future would pay attention to the described natural phenomena, which could not have happened in the year of Christ’s execution in the place in which he was executed.
And this is far from the only example of theft of materials by Jewish Christians. Speaking about the Slavs, I remember the myth of Arius’s father, who received a covenant from Dazhbog on Alatyr Mountain (Elbrus), and in the Bible, Arius and Alatyr miraculously turned into Moses and Sinai...
Or the Judeo-Christian baptismal rite. The Christian rite of baptism is one third of the Slavic pagan rite, which included: naming, fire baptism and water bath. In Judeo-Christianity, only the water bath remained.
We can recall examples from other traditions. Mithra - born on December 25th!!! 600 years before the birth of Jesus!!! December 25th - to the day 600 years later, Jesus was born. Mithra was born of a virgin in a stable, a star rose, the Magi came!!! Everything is the same as with Christ, only 600 years earlier. The cult of Mithras included: baptism with water, holy water, belief in immortality, belief in Mithras as a savior god, the concepts of Heaven and Hell. Mithra died and was resurrected in order to become a mediator between God the Father and man! Plagiarism (theft) of Christians is 100%.
More examples. Immaculately conceived: Gautama Buddha - India 600 BC; Indra - Tibet 700 BC; Dionysus - Greece; Quirinus - Roman; Adonis - Babylon all in the period from 400-200 BC; Krishna - India 1200 BC; Zarathustra - 1500 BC. In a word, anyone who has read the originals knows where the Jewish Christians got the materials for their writings.
So modern neo-Christians, who are trying in vain to find some kind of mythical Russian roots in the native Jew Yeshua - Jesus and his mother, need to stop doing nonsense and start worshiping Bus, nicknamed - the Cross, i.e. The Bus of the Cross, or what would be completely clear to them - the Bus of Christ. After all, this is the real Hero from whom the Judeo-Christians copied their New Testament, and the one they invented - the Judeo-Christian Jesus Christ - turns out to be some kind of charlatan and rogue, to say the least... After all, the New Testament is just a romantic comedy in the spirit Jewish fiction, allegedly written by the so-called. “Apostle” Paul (in the world - Saul), and even then, it turns out, it was not written by him himself, but by unknown/!?/ disciples of disciples. Well, they had fun though...
But let's return to the Slavic chronicle. The discovery of an ancient Slavic city in the Caucasus no longer looks so surprising. In recent decades, several ancient Slavic cities have been discovered in Russia and Ukraine.
The most famous today is the famous Arkaim, whose age is more than 5000 thousand years.
In 1987, in the Southern Urals in the Chelyabinsk region, during the construction of a hydroelectric power station, a fortified settlement of the early urban type, dating back to the Bronze Age, was discovered. to the times of the ancient Aryans. Arkaim is five hundred to six hundred years older than the famous Troy, even older than the Egyptian pyramids.
The discovered settlement is an observatory city. During its study, it was established that the monument was a city fortified by two wall circles inscribed within each other, ramparts and ditches. The dwellings in it were trapezoidal in shape, closely adjacent to each other and located in a circle in such a way that the wide end wall of each dwelling was part of the defensive wall. Every home has a bronze casting stove! But according to traditional academic knowledge, bronze came to Greece only in the second millennium BC. Later, the settlement turned out to be an integral part of the ancient Aryan civilization - the “Country of Cities” of the Southern Trans-Urals. Scientists have discovered a whole complex of monuments belonging to this amazing culture.
Despite their small size, fortified centers can be called proto-cities. The use of the concept “city” to fortified settlements of the Arkaim-Sintashta type is, of course, conditional.
However, they cannot be called simply settlements, since the Arkaim “cities” are distinguished by powerful defensive structures, monumental architecture, and complex communication systems. The entire territory of the fortified center is extremely rich in planning details; it is very compact and carefully thought out. From the point of view of the organization of space, what we have in front of us is not even a city, but a kind of super-city.
The fortified centers of the Southern Urals are five to six centuries older than Homeric Troy. They are contemporaries of the first dynasty of Babylon, the pharaohs of the Middle Kingdom of Egypt and the Cretan-Mycenaean culture of the Mediterranean. The time of their existence corresponds to the last centuries of the famous civilization of India - Mahenjo-Daro and Harappa.

In Ukraine, in Tripoli, the remains of a city were discovered, the same age as Arkaim, more than five thousand years. He is five hundred years older than the civilization of Mesopotamia - Sumerian!
At the end of the 90s, not far from Rostov-on-Don in the town of Tanais, settlement cities were found, the age of which even scientists find it difficult to name... The age varies from ten to thirty thousand years. The traveler of the last century, Thor Heyerdahl, believed that from there, from Tanais, the entire pantheon of Scandinavian Gods, led by Odin, came to Scandinavia.
On the Kola Peninsula, slabs with inscriptions in Sanskrit that are 20,000 years old have been found. And only Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, as well as the Baltic languages coincide with Sanskrit. Draw conclusions.
The results of the expedition to the site of the capital of the ancient Slavic city of Kiyara in the Elbrus region.
Five expeditions were carried out: in 1851,1881,1914, 2001 and 2002.
In 2001, the expedition was headed by A. Alekseev, and in 2002 the expedition was carried out under the patronage of the State Astronomical Institute named after Shtenberg (SAI), which was supervised by the director of the institute, Anatoly Mikhailovich Cherepashchuk.
Based on the data obtained as a result of topographic and geodetic studies of the area, recording astronomical events, the expedition members made preliminary conclusions that are fully consistent with the results of the 2001 expedition, based on the results of which, in March 2002, a report was made at a meeting of the Astronomical Society at the State Astronomical Institute Institute in the presence of employees of the Institute of Archeology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, members of the International Astronomical Society and the State Historical Museum.
A report was also made at a conference on the problems of early civilizations in St. Petersburg.
What exactly did the researchers find?
Near Mount Karakaya, in the Rocky Range at an altitude of 3,646 meters above sea level between the villages of Upper Chegem and Bezengi on the eastern side of Elbrus, traces of the capital of Ruskolani, the city of Kiyar, were found, which existed long before the birth of Christ, which is mentioned in many legends and epics of different peoples of the world, as well as the oldest astronomical observatory - the Temple of the Sun, described by the ancient historian Al Masudi in his books precisely as the Temple of the Sun.
The location of the found city exactly coincides with the instructions from ancient sources, and later the location of the city was confirmed by the 17th century Turkish traveler Evliya Celebi.
The remains of an ancient temple, caves and graves were discovered on Mount Karakaya. An incredible number of ancient settlements and temple ruins have been discovered, many of which are quite well preserved. In the valley near the foot of Mount Karakaya, on the Bechesyn plateau, menhirs were found - tall man-made stones similar to wooden pagan idols.
On one of the stone pillars the face of a knight is carved, looking straight to the east. And behind the menhir you can see a bell-shaped hill. This is Tuzuluk (“Treasury of the Sun”). At its top you can actually see the ruins of the ancient sanctuary of the Sun. At the top of the hill there is a tour marking the highest point. Then three large rocks, hand-cut. Once upon a time, a slit was cut in them, directed from north to south. Stones were also found laid out like sectors in the zodiac calendar. Each sector is exactly 30 degrees.
Each part of the temple complex was intended for calendar and astrological calculations. In this, it is similar to the South Ural city-temple of Arkaim, which has the same zodiac structure, the same division into 12 sectors. It is also similar to Stonehenge in Great Britain. It is similar to Stonehenge, firstly, by the fact that the axis of the temple is also oriented from north to south, and secondly, one of the most important distinguishing features of Stonehenge is the presence of the so-called “Heel Stone” at a distance from the sanctuary. But there is also a menhir landmark at the Sun Sanctuary on Tuzuluk.
There is evidence that at the turn of our era the temple was plundered by the Bosporan king Pharnaces. The temple was finally destroyed in IV AD. Goths and Huns. Even the dimensions of the temple are known; 60 cubits (about 20 meters) in length, 20 (6-8 meters) in width and 15 (up to 10 meters) in height, as well as the number of windows and doors - 12 according to the number of Zodiac signs.
As a result of the work of the first expedition, there is every reason to believe that the stones on the top of Mount Tuzluk served as the foundation of the Sun Temple. Mount Tuzluk is a regular grassy cone about 40 meters high. The slopes rise to the top at an angle of 45 degrees, which actually corresponds to the latitude of the place, and, therefore, looking along it you can see the North Star. The axis of the temple foundation is 30 degrees with the direction to the Eastern peak of Elbrus. The same 30 degrees is the distance between the axis of the temple and the direction to the menhir, and the direction to the menhir and the Shaukam pass. Considering that 30 degrees - 1/12 of a circle - corresponds to a calendar month, this is not a coincidence. The azimuths of sunrise and sunset on the days of the summer and winter solstice differ by only 1.5 degrees from the directions to the peaks of Kanjal, the “gate” of two hills in the depths of pastures, Mount Dzhaurgen and Mount Tashly-Syrt. There is an assumption that the menhir served as a heel stone in the Temple of the Sun, similar to Stonehenge, and helped predict solar and lunar eclipses. Thus, Mount Tuzluk is tied to four natural landmarks along the Sun and is tied to the Eastern peak of Elbrus. The height of the mountain is only about 40 meters, the diameter of the base is about 150 meters. These are dimensions comparable to the dimensions of the Egyptian pyramids and other religious buildings.
In addition, two square tower-shaped aurochs were discovered at the Kayaeshik pass. One of them lies strictly on the axis of the temple. Here, on the pass, are the foundations of buildings and ramparts.
In addition, in the central part of the Caucasus, at the northern foot of Elbrus, in the late 70s and early 80s of the 20th century, an ancient center of metallurgical production, the remains of smelting furnaces, settlements, and burial grounds were discovered.
Summarizing the results of the work of the expeditions of the 1980s and 2001, which discovered the concentration within a radius of several kilometers of traces of ancient metallurgy, deposits of coal, silver, iron, as well as astronomical, religious and other archaeological objects, we can confidently assume the discovery of one of the most ancient cultural and administrative centers of the Slavs in the Elbrus region.
During expeditions in 1851 and 1914, archaeologist P.G. Akritas examined the ruins of the Scythian Temple of the Sun on the eastern slopes of Beshtau. The results of further archaeological excavations of this sanctuary were published in 1914 in the “Notes of the Rostov-on-Don Historical Society.” There, a huge stone “in the shape of a Scythian cap” was described, installed on three abutments, as well as a domed grotto.
And the beginning of major excavations in Pyatigorye (Kavminvody) was laid by the famous pre-revolutionary archaeologist D.Ya. Samokvasov, who described 44 mounds in the vicinity of Pyatigorsk in 1881. Subsequently, after the revolution, only some mounds were examined; only initial exploration work was carried out on the sites by archaeologists E.I. Krupnov, V.A. Kuznetsov, G.E. Runich, E.P. Alekseeva, S.Ya. Baychorov, Kh.Kh. Bidzhiev and others.
The Young Sun, Kolyada, was born in the sky, a new circle of the solar wheel began. Nowadays the beginning of the year is considered to be January 1, but in the old days it was different. The original Slavic names of the months carried a deep meaning and reflected the essence of the nature around them.
In different centuries, the New Year was celebrated in spring or autumn, and with the holiday of Kolyada, the new year began for farmers. The Slavic names of the months and the sayings that the northern land protects tell us how our Ancestors saw the year. We will tell you about this in this article.
The names of the months according to the folk calendar reflect what nature is rich in at this time. In January the day grows, the cold also grows, and in the spring the shafts become overgrown with grass overnight. Since ancient times, the Slavs have noticed this and given folk names for the months, suggesting what to expect from Mother Nature.
How many calendars did the Slavs have?
Since ancient times, the Slavs used a natural calendar, the Monthly Dictionary. It was embroidered by Kargopol craftswomen on ancient sundresses and aprons. The Slavic names of the months were different in different places.
In the south, “worm”, the month of berry ripening, began already in June, in the north - in July. The popular names of the months reflected the gifts of nature characteristic of a particular season, which is why they differed for the south and north. But they were all part of a single natural calendar!

Then the Christian faith came to us, and foreign names of the months in the calendar. This is how three calendars appeared in Rus' at once: the “secular” calendar, which we know today, the church calendar with Christian holidays, and the agricultural calendar, with traditional folk Slavic names of the months.
Slavic names of the months
The Slavic names of the months are like images of young guys, mature husbands and old people passing before us in a round dance. Who is affectionate, kind, and, like a young guy, owns small riches, and who is harsh, but holds great wisdom.

Next comes July: it mows and reaps, and does not let you sleep. The name of the month of July according to the folk calendar is Stradnik, Cherven. Red - because the berries ripen in forests and gardens, red, black and red. June is a rich month, and August will be even richer!
Zhniven, Serpin, Slavic names of the month of August. The harvest begins, the holiday of the Spozhinka, they bake the first bread of the new harvest, thank the Gods for the fertility of the Earth, and look into the future with one eye.
What awaits you in the fall?
How you and I walked, white swan,
From raisins to red berries,
We walked around and showed off,
We walked and rejoiced! 
Slavic names of the months of summer: Multicolor, Stradnik, Zhniven
Autumn will open September, Khmuren month. The name of the month according to the folk calendar is reflected by the saying: in September it is nice in the afternoon, but bad in the morning. They also say that September is cold, but it’s full. In September, the remnants of the harvest are harvested and God Avsen is greeted on the day of the autumn solar break. It's time for weddings.
The nightingales buzz like summer,
The birds buzz like crazy.
The red-haired girl sat
From the head the way will be
From the braid and scarlet ribbons -
Nicknamed braid braid.
At least he can't sit still.
Generous September will be replaced by October, the month when a man lives with caution. Leaf fall, October, does not give generous fruits. Those who have not had time to prepare for winter will have a bad time today. They also say that in October there is no road either on wheels or on runners - another Slavic name for the month Dirt.
November, Breast overnight it sets up winter, brings the first winter, “chest” road, consisting of frozen earth and snow. The sleigh route opens, women organize linen shows, men prepare grain for the winter auction.

Since ancient times, the territory of modern Eastern Europe from Bohemia (which is now part of the Czech Republic) to Novgorod was inhabited by a cheerful people, living according to the laws of honor and in close interaction with nature. Despite regional differences, the Slavic tribes shared similar customs, rituals and beliefs, many of which are reflected in one way or another in the lives of their modern descendants.
website I figured out how the Slavs lived before and what of their traditions has survived to this day, and also picked up facts about the Slavic brothers - ancient and modern.
Polygamy and fidelity
In the pre-Christian period, there were 2 types of marriage in ancient Russian society: monogamous and polygamous. Thus, Prince Igor, as V.N. Tatishchev writes, had several wives besides Olga, and Vladimir Svyatoslavich, before he adopted Christianity and married the Byzantine princess Anna, already had 5 wives, not counting concubines, the number of which, according to historians, reaches up to 500.
It is curious that, despite the polygamy and concubinage that existed among the Slavs, wives in Ancient Rus' were distinguished by their chastity and fidelity.
Paradise seas
According to the ideas of the ancient Slavs, the sea was located somewhere on the southwestern edge of the earth not far from Iriy - the Slavic paradise. Eternal summer reigns in this country; ordinary birds fly there for the winter, but magical birds live there permanently. This country is intended exclusively for good people, and even then only in the next life. So it was much more difficult for the ancient Slavs to swim in the sea than for modern residents of Central Russia - the latter can afford it at least during the holiday season.
Polenitsy - Slavic Amazons
Surely you are familiar with the “sweater with deer”. Similar patterns have long been embroidered on towels, tablecloths, dresses and shirts.
It turns out that this is a very ancient and powerful symbol. For the ancient Slavs, the heavenly doe, who sent fawns to earth, personified the matriarchal goddesses of women in labor - the patroness of women, family, home and fertility. The Slavs believed that on the night after the birth of a child, 3 deities appear and decide the fate of the newborn by drawing mysterious signs on his forehead, invisible to humans. In order for the signs to be favorable, women in labor should be appeased by treating them to bread, cheese and honey.
Gender and "truth"
Personal honor and the honor of the clan - the most important concepts for the ancient Slavs - were measured in the so-called “truths”. The evil deeds of an individual (for example, breaking an oath, refusing a challenge to a duel, the blasphemous song of a guslar) reduced both his own “truth” and the “truth” of the family, while good deeds (revenge for a relative, organizing a feast or competition, marriage or service with the glorious prince) led to an increase in personal honor.
For the most terrible acts - such as killing a relative, violating the laws of hospitality, or refusing to take care of the burial of a fallen enemy - a person could be declared an outlaw, since he risked bringing down the punishment of the gods on his entire family.
The higher a person’s social position, the stronger his “truth” had to be: a prince who had tarnished his honor was “removed from his post” immediately.
Bone leg
Many linguists have repeatedly noticed the similarity between the Slavic language and Sanskrit. There have been many disputes among historians and linguists about “who came from whom” and whether it is even possible to talk about any influence of one ancient language on another, on the basis of which numerous speculations have arisen.
Our ancient system for measuring time intervals was simple, accessible and visual, as it was based on well-known astronomical phenomena. In ancient times, the Slavs had several calendar forms of reckoning, but only a few have survived to this day... In ancient times, the Creation of the World was called the conclusion of a peace treaty between warring peoples. Thus, we have a “new frame of reference.”
This very peace treaty between the Great Race (ancient Slavs) and the Great Dragon (ancient Chinese) was concluded on the day of the Autumn Equinox, or on the 1st day of the First month of Summer 5500 from the Great Cold (Great Cold). The Great Race then won the victory, which was depicted in the form of an image - a White Knight on a horse hits the Dragon with a spear.
Different peoples living in Europe had different systems for counting days. This wide variety of calendar systems sometimes introduced great confusion into the definition of “major trading days”... therefore, in 45 BC. e. By decree of Emperor Julius Caesar, a “new” calendar system was introduced, which was required to be observed throughout the entire Roman Empire.
Christian missionaries who went to “enlighten” the pagans of Europe faced serious problems...
Even if they introduced someone to a new faith, they immediately encountered problems of misunderstanding when to celebrate holidays or at what time to observe fasts...
A different calendar system did not allow Christian missionaries to correctly determine which date of the local calendar corresponded to the Julian calendar, because local calendars were more difficult for Christians to understand, and besides, comparable dates were constantly “floating”.
Only one way out was found. Ban the old calendar and introduce a new one - the Julian.
The same picture was observed during the baptism of Rus'... The people did not accept the introduced Julian calendar. Because the people did not understand why a foreign calendar was needed on Russian soil, with numbered months in Latin, of which there were three more, and besides, it did not begin on the Day of the Autumn Equinox, but at the beginning of spring.
But Christians found a way out of this situation: they came up with Slavic names for the Julian calendar - and the months, instead of numbers in Latin, received Slavic names: Berezen, Kviten, Traven, Cherven, Lipen, Serpen, Veresen, Zhovten, Listopad, Gruden, Sichen, Lyuty.
Only in this form did Christians manage to impose an alien calendar on the Slavic peoples. In other Slavic countries the same reconstruction of the Julian calendar was done, and the months received their Slavic names...
Our calendar - or, as we say, Kolyada Dar - was banned by Peter the Great. In Summer 7208 (1699) he issued a decree abolishing all the old calendars that simultaneously existed in the Russian lands, and introduced the Western European calendar from the Nativity of Christ, while he moved the beginning of the calendar (New Year) from the Day of the Autumn Equinox (among the Slavs-Old Believers ) and September 1 (for Christians) on January 1, and designated the starting date - 1700:
“Since in Russia they count the New Year in different ways, from now on stop fooling people and count the New Year everywhere from January 1, 1700 from the Nativity of Christ. And as a sign of good beginnings and fun, congratulate each other on the New Year, wishing prosperity in business and in the family. In honor of the New Year, make decorations from fir trees, amuse children, and ride down the mountains on sleds. But adults should not commit drunkenness and massacres - there are enough other days for that.”
The start date of the new calendar was not chosen by Peter the Great by chance. On December 25, the entire Christian world celebrates the Nativity of Christ. According to the Bible, on the eighth day the baby Jesus was circumcised according to the Jewish rite, that is, on January 1, the Christian church celebrated the Circumcision of the Lord.
This date was chosen by Peter the Great... by his decree he ordered all his subjects to celebrate the beginning of the new calendar and congratulate each other on the New Year.
The Slavic year began at the point of the autumnal equinox (in modern September), which was easily determined on the horizon by periodically observing the place of rising or setting of Yarila the Sun. The points of the autumn and spring equinoxes on the horizon coincide and lie strictly between the points of the summer and winter solstice. Therefore, having once determined the winter and summer solstice and the point between them, and then placing the corresponding three landmarks on the horizon (mounds, dolmens, etc.), you can quite accurately record the new year, as well as the rotation of the day into decrease and increase.
The modern calendar has been complicated to serve political interests. So, now the New Year begins on a day that is unremarkable from the point of view of an observer of celestial phenomena.
New days used to begin at the moment of setting of the Yarila-Sun on the day of the equinox - very simply and clearly. Now the day begins at night, when everyone is sleeping. But even if you weren’t sleeping, you still can’t record the beginning of a new day, since there’s nothing to observe in the sky at that moment.
Values in the Old Slavic calendar
The ancient Slavic calendar is based on the hexadecimal number system and divides long periods of time into Circles of Life, each with 144 Summers (years), and Summer into three seasons: Autumn, Winter and Spring. In modern chronology, historical counting is carried out in centuries (periods of 100 years), and there are four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter).
The path along the starry sky of Yarila the Sun was called the Svarozh circle among the Slavic peoples. The Svarog circle itself was divided into 16 parts, and they were called mansions, or palaces (constellations), which in turn were divided into 9 “halls” each. Thus, the Svarog circle consisted of 144 parts, and each part corresponded to its own unique heavenly rune.
The word Svarga in ancient times meant all inhabited territories - the Universes of our Reality. In the ancient Slavic Vedas it is said about them: “The Great Trees of the Worlds, which receive Light Power from the waters of the Heavenly Iriy.” God Svarog - God of fire, blacksmithing, family hearth. The ancient Slavs considered him a heavenly blacksmith and a great warrior. Tradition says that he, who controls the entire world order of our Universe in the Manifest World (the World of Reveal), gave people the first plow and blacksmith's tongs, and taught how to smelt copper and iron. The very name of God is associated with the Sanskrit “svar” - to sparkle, shine, radiate, burn. God Svarog, our ancestors believed, is the father of many Light gods and goddesses, who were collectively called Svarozhich.
The same months, depending on the climate of the places in which different tribes lived, received different names.
The years were counted from the “creation of the world” (5508 BC). For many centuries, the beginning of the year was considered March 1, but in 1492, in accordance with the definition of the Council of Nicaea, the beginning of the year was officially moved to September 1 and was celebrated this way for more than two hundred years. However, a few months after Muscovites celebrated their next New Year on September 1, 7208, they had to repeat the celebration. This happened because on December 19, 7208, a personal decree of Peter I was signed and promulgated on the reform of the calendar in Russia, according to which a new beginning of the year was introduced - from January 1, and a new era - the Christian chronology (from the “Nativity of Christ”).
The flow of the “River of Time” for our ancestors is the rotation of the rings of the Daarian Circle of Chislobog anti-salt: rotation 16 hours in a day, rotation 9 days in a week, rotation 9 months in Summer (year), rotation 16 years through 9 elements (“halls”) in Circle of Life, rotation of a series of years through 16 palaces (constellations) of the Svarog Circle.
One Summer contains 9 months, a month - 41 or 40 days (depending on whether it is odd or even), a day - 16 hours, an hour - 144 parts, a part - 1296 shares, a share -72 moments, an instant - 760 moments, a moment - 160 whitefish, whitefish - 14,000 centigs. Thus, ) 0.000000003305 seconds. Such precision is unattainable even with the most advanced modern chronometers. Why the ancient Slavs needed it, we, their descendants, can only guess.
A week includes 9 days (Monday, Tuesday, three-day, Thursday, Friday, sixth, seventh, eighth, week). All months begin on strictly defined days of the week. For example, if the first month of a given Summer begins on Tuesday, then all other odd-numbered months in this Summer will begin on Tuesday, and even months on the seventh. Therefore, the calendar that we now carry in our pocket and which contains 12 different month tablets, previously included only two tablets: one for odd months, the other for even months.
The ancient Slavic calendar, just like the Scandinavian or Celtic one, had a Runic display form, that is, initially the names of months, numbers, days of the week and the names of Years were written in Runes.
For those who don’t know: A Rune is not a letter or a syllable... A Rune is a secret Image. The names of the months were originally designated by Runes, and later the entry by Initial Letter was added with a brief disclosure of the semantic meaning.
The first month was indicated by one Rune, and the remaining eight months were indicated by the combination of two Runes, with the second Rune indicating the part of the solar cycle known to us as Summer.
In the ancient Slovenian letter, when writing the name of the month, the letter “Ъ” was put at the end - er, which sounded like O-short. In addition, each month carried its own meaning, determining people’s lives.
9 months of the ancient Slavs are:
Ramhat - month of the divine beginning (41 days),
Ilet - month of new gifts (40 days),
Beylet is the month of white light and peace of the world (41 days),
Gaylet - month of blizzards and cold (40 days),
Daylet - the month of the awakening of nature (41 days),
Elet - month of sowing and naming (40 days),
Veylet - month of winds (41 days),
Heylet - the month of receiving the gifts of nature (40 days),
Taylet is the month of completion (41 days).
All these names are associated with certain cycles of human life on Earth. This system goes back to the times when white people lived on the northern continent, which they called Daaria (Hyperborea, Arctida, Arctogea).
Therefore, this system is called the Daariysky Krugolet of Chislobog.
The Circles of Years (16) pass through the Natural Elements (9), thus the complete Circle of passage is called the Circle of Life.
But not only Summers were considered Circles of 16 years, the complete passage of Yarila the Sun through the Heavens among the stars also contained the number 16.
These equal parts are called the Heavenly Palaces of the Svarog Circle. Each Hall has its own Patron, God or Goddess.
On the second circle of the Daari circular, from the outer edge, the Runes of Time and their structural display are shown.
That is, we have a Daily Circle, in which there are 16 hours, 4 hours for each time of day...
4 hours for Evening, 4 hours for Night, 4 hours for Morning and 4 hours for Day. Each hour has its own name, devil image and Runic writing.
Each of the 16 hours also had its own name:
1st hour - Lunch (beginning of a new day) - 19.30 - 21.00 (winter time, respectively 20.30 - 22.00 - summer time; then only winter time is indicated).
2 - Evening (appearance of star dew in Heaven) - 21.00 - 22.30.
3 - Draw (odd time of three moons) - 22.30 - 24.00.
4 - Polich (full path of the Moons) - 24.00 - 1.30.
5 - Morning (starry consolation of dew) - 1.30 - 3.00.
6 - Zaura (starlight, dawn) - 3.00 - 4.30.
7 – Zaurnice (end of starlight) – 4.30 – 6.00.
8 - Nastya (morning dawn) - 6.00 - 7.30.
9 – Svaor (Sunrise) – 7.30 – 9.00.
10 - Morning (calming the dew) - 9.00 - 10.30.
11 - Morning (the path of collecting calm dew) - 10.30 - 12.00.
12 - Obestina (mass, joint meeting) - 12.00 - 13.30.
13 - Lunch, or have lunch (meal), 13.30 - 15.00.
14 - Podani (rest after the meal) - 15.00 - 16.30.
15 - Utdaini (time of completion of actions) - 16.30 - 18.00.
16 - Poudani (completed day) - 18.00 - 19.30.
In the next Circle the Runes of the 16 Heavenly Halls are depicted; their outline has a certain connection with the location of the stars in the Firmament and with the Natural elements... Therefore, very often these Runes were placed on amulets. Not only on those worn by people... but also on amulets protecting livestock and poultry. In addition, these amulets can be found on dishes and other household utensils...
The next circle is called the Circle of the Elements, it identifies the 9 Elements through which life passes. Each Element is given its own name and its own Rune of Order. The beginning was made from the First Element...
Earth
Star
Fire
Sun
Tree
Heaven
Ocean
Moon
God
Each Summer was in one way or another connected with the Circle of Elements, therefore, knowing the elemental characteristics, people were aware of what to expect from this or that Summer.
Next came the Weekly Circle. It was used to determine not only the serial number of the day of the week, but also which of the Gods patronizes this day, as well as which of the Nine Earths of the Yarila-Sun system gives its power...
In the very center, in the Circle, which is the structural designation of a person. 9 points pointed to 9 main energy centers (chakras) of a person, through which he receives various streams of life force... to 9 types of human consciousness, to 9 different feelings that are given to a person... and much more...
At first glance, the above measures of time are difficult to remember and inconvenient, but the modern system of measures is more orderly and visual. But in fact, the current system is archaic, less accurate and contains the imprints of many, again, political alterations.
The date of the beginning of summer strictly coincided with the Autumn Equinox, so the dates of the Gregorian calendar also come out, but it corresponded much more accurately to the astronomical calendar and was easier to use.
Yarilo - the Sun - moves along the Svarog circle and passes through 16 heavenly palaces (analogous to the eastern zodiac circle), in which the Suns, Stars and star clusters are collected. Each palace, in turn, is divided into 9 halls, in each hall there are 9 tables, on both sides of the tables there are benches - 72 on one side and 72 on the other side. Women sit on one side and men on the other.
It is from the Svarozh circle that the souls of people come to earth at the moment of birth.
For amulet, the Slavs wore the sign of the palace of their birth, as well as the patron god of the day of the week and year of birth, resulting in a pantheon of patron gods, and also based on the amulets (and the hierarchy of their location), a knowledgeable person could accurately tell the birthday of the person wearing the amulets.
In Slavic astrology, it is believed that there are 27 planets in the solar system, some of them existed previously and are now destroyed: debris remains in the form of an asteroid belt. These are echoes of the battles of the gods, or, as the modern generation would call them, Star Wars. Some of the distant Earths, taken into account by Slavic astrology, have not yet been discovered by modern astronomical science, or (due to their remoteness) are not considered planets of the solar system. How right the Slavic astronomical atlas is can only be shown by the development of astronomy and cosmonautics.
Calendar changes
During the "Dark Times", the week was shortened to seven days thanks to the worshipers of the lunar cult. The number of months in a year increased, and their names changed, as some ancient rulers wanted to perpetuate their name by inventing new months and giving them their name. First, the names of the first nine months were changed and a tenth was added. December means "tenth month" in Latin. The ninth month was called November, the eighth - October, the seventh - September.
Then, at the whim of ambitious and vain rulers, they added two more months in the middle of the year (July - Latin Julius - in honor of Julius Caesar; August - Latin Augustus - in honor of Emperor Augustus). And December became the twelfth in order, although it continued (and continues) to mean “tenth” in the sense of its Latin root. The same applies to the words “September”, “October” and “November”, which, contrary to the meaning of their roots, became the designations of the corresponding ninth, tenth and eleventh months.
Due to the increase in the number of months, a leapfrog occurred in their duration. It has shrunk (just like in the famous cartoon about sheepskin tailoring: can it be seven? - it can be seven!). Since there were no more days in the year than there are (365 or 366), the months became 31, 30, 28 or 29 days. Due to these changes, months and years began to begin on different days of the week. The order of ancient chronology has collapsed.
Then the beginning of the day was moved to midnight, thereby combining with the beginning of the holiday of Satanists and devil worshipers, for whom the “real” day should really begin with the Sabbath.
The number of hours in a day was increased to 24, changing the duration of an hour and thereby losing the concept of a part, a beat, a moment, an instant, a moment. And to top it all off, these short periods of time began to be measured in the Sumerian sexagesimal number system. An hour is divided into 60 minutes, and a minute into 60 seconds. Much later, the second began to be divided into parts already in the decimal number system - into milliseconds, microseconds, etc.
Many elements of the ancient Slavic calendar (Daariysky Krugolet Chislobog) have survived to this day in the form of sayings and customs, the origins of which have already been forgotten. For example, the Great Trine, that is, the commemoration of the deceased, takes place a week and a month later, that is, on the ninth and fortieth day. The seventh day of the week is commemorated, for on this day Dazhdbog was crucified in the Caucasus Mountains.
In ancient times, a girl got married only after 16 years, or 144 months, which is one Circle of the Daarian Circle; before this period she carried the message, learned the Message, and after that she stopped telling the message and became a bride.
The mother carried the child in her womb for seven months (in ancient time reckoning) and then fed him with breast milk for forty forty (months). And after forty forty, or four years and four months, after the birth of the first child, a woman began a period of life improvement, as a result of which she becomes a knowledgeable mother (or witch).
369 weeks after the birth of a person, the era of his spiritual training began, for at the age of nine the first Great introduction to the ancient wisdom of the gods and ancestors took place.
At 108 months, or at 12 years, a person came of age, and he underwent the rites of coming of age and naming, and after another 108 months, he, accepting spiritual consecration by the Sacred Fire, had to learn the true meaning of the existence of his Family and the true meaning of the family name.
At the age of 33, each of our ancestors had a time of spiritual improvement. And at 369 months, or 41 years, the era of spiritual insight began.

In Ancient Rus', at a time when Christianity had not yet been adopted, the Slavs idolized otherworldly incorporeal creatures. The pagan gods of ancient Rus', according to the ideas of the ancients, are endowed with supernatural abilities to influence all things. They are responsible for all the fundamental principles of human existence, control both the fate of the people themselves and everything that surrounds them.
Each deity performs a specific, utilitarian function. The history of ancient times stores many dozens of names, of which we now know only a part. This part has survived to this day thanks to pagan rituals and rituals passed down from generation to generation, which over time became the basis of the customs of the Slavic family.
At the hierarchical top stands the supreme god, under him are the gods of the environment of existence of all living things, then are the gods of human destinies and the everyday life of people, at the bottom of the pyramid are the elements and forces of darkness.
Table of pagan gods of ancient Rus':
| No. | Deity name | Purpose |
| 1 | GENUS | Supreme god of heaven and earth |
| 2 | HORSE | Sun God |
| 3 | YARILO | God of the spring sun. Son of Veles |
| 4 | DAZHDBOG | God of fertility and sunshine |
| 5 | SVAROG | Master of the Universe. God of the sky |
| 6 | PERUN | God of lightning and thunder |

Ancient Slavic god Rod
This is the supreme god who rules over all things in the Universe, including all other gods. He heads the pinnacle of the pagan pantheon of gods. He is the creator and ancestor. He is omnipotent and influences the entire cycle of life. It exists everywhere and has no beginning or end. This description fully corresponds to the concept of God of all modern religions.
The genus governs life and death, abundance and poverty. No one has ever seen him, yet he sees everyone. The root of his name is sewn into human speech - into the words with which people interpret (voice) their dominant spiritual and material values in the material world. Birth, relatives, homeland, spring, harvest - Rod is present in all this.
Hierarchy of pagan gods of Rus'
Under the leadership of the Family, all Slavic deities and other spiritual entities are distributed according to levels corresponding to their impact on the everyday affairs of people.
The top level is occupied by deities who manage global and national affairs: wars and ethnic conflicts, weather disasters, fertility and famine, fertility and mortality.
At the middle level there are deities responsible for local affairs. These are the patrons of agriculture, crafts, fishing and hunting, and family concerns. People liken their face to their own.
The stylobate of the base of the pantheon is assigned to spiritual entities whose physical appearance is unlike that of a human. These are kikimoras, ghouls, goblins, brownies, ghouls, mermaids and many others like them.
The Slavic hierarchical pyramid ends here, unlike the ancient Egyptian one, where there was also an afterlife with its own governing deities and laws, or, for example, where the basis was a numerous pantheon of gods.
Slavic gods by importance and power
God of the Slavs Horse and his incarnations
Khors is the son of Rod and the brother of Veles. This is the sun god in Ancient Rus'. Horse's face is like a sunny day - yellow, radiant, dazzlingly bright. He has 4 incarnations:
- Kolyada
- Yarilo
- Dazhdbog
- Svarog.
Each hypostasis operates in a specific season of the year, and people expect help from each divine incarnation, which is associated with the corresponding rituals and ceremonies.
We still follow the traditions of the ancient Slavs: we tell fortunes on Christmastide, fry pancakes on Maslenitsa, burn bonfires on Ivan Kupala and weave wreaths.
1. God of the Slavs Kolyada
Kolyada begins the annual cycle and reigns from the winter solstice to the spring equinox (December 22 - March 21). In December, people greet the young Sun and praise Kolyada with ritual songs; festivities last until January 7. It's Christmastide.
By this time, the owners are slaughtering livestock, opening pickles, and taking supplies to fairs. Throughout Christmas time, people organize gatherings, rich feasts, tell fortunes, have fun, get married and have weddings. In general, doing nothing becomes completely legal. Kolyada treats with its mercy all benefactors who show mercy and generosity to the poor.
2. God of the Slavs Yarilo
He is Yarovit, Ruevit, Yar - the solar god of young age with the face of a barefoot young man on a white horse. Wherever he looks, shoots will sprout; wherever he passes, the grass will sprout. On his head is a crown of ears of grain, in his left hand he holds a bow and arrows, in his right hand are the reins. Its time is from the spring equinox to the summer solstice (March 22 – June 21). People's supplies at home are depleted and there is a lot of work to do. When the sun turned back, the tension in the labors subsided, the time of Dazhdbog had come.
3. God of the Slavs Dazhdbog
He is also Kupala or Kupaila - the solar god with the face of a mature man. Its time is from the summer solstice to the autumn equinox (June 22 - September 23). The reunion celebration is postponed on July 6-7 due to work commitments. On this mysterious night, people burn Yarila (or rather, a scarecrow) on a large bonfire and jump over it, girls throw woven flower wreaths down the river. Everyone is looking for the blooming fern of desires. There is also a lot of work during this season: mowing, harvesting fruit, repairing the house, preparing the sleigh.
4. God of the Slavs Svarog
The tired Sun sinks lower and lower towards the horizon. In its slanting rays, the tall, strong old man Svarog (aka Svetovid), whitened with gray hair, takes up the baton of power. He looks north, clutching a heavy sword in his hand, with which he slays the forces of darkness. He is the husband of the Earth, the father of Dazhdbog and all other gods of natural phenomena. His time from September 23 to December 21 is a period of satiety, peace and prosperity. People are not sad about anything, they organize fairs and have weddings.
Perun god of thunder and lightning
This is the god of war. In his right hand, Perun holds a rainbow sword, in his left - lightning arrows. The clouds are his hair and beard, the thunder is his speech, the wind is his breath, the raindrops are the fertilizing seed. He is the son of Svarog (Svarozhich), and is also endowed with a formidable disposition. He patronizes brave warriors and gives them luck and strength to everyone who puts in the effort to hard work.
Stribog god of the wind
He is the god above the gods of the elemental forces of nature (Whistling, Weather and others). Stribog is the lord of the wind, hurricanes and blizzards. He can be touchingly kind and furiously evil. When he angrily blows the horn, the elements arise; when he is kind, the leaves simply rustle, streams gurgle, the wind howls in the crevices of the trees. From these sounds of nature came music and songs, and with them musical instruments. They pray to Stribog for the storm to subside, and hunters ask him for help in pursuing the sensitive and timid animal.
Veles pagan god of wealth
This is the god of agriculture and cattle breeding. Veles is also called the god of wealth (aka Hair, Month). He commands the clouds. When he was young, he tended the heavenly sheep himself. In anger, Veles sends torrential rains to the earth. After reaping, people still leave him one collected sheaf. In his name they swear word of honor and fidelity.
Lada goddess of love and beauty
Goddess Lada is the patroness of the hearth. Her clothes are snow-white clouds, and the morning dew is tears. In the predawn haze, she escorts the shadows of the departed to the other world. Lada is the earthly incarnation of Rod, the high priestess, the mother goddess, surrounded by a retinue of young servants. She is beautiful and smart, brave and dexterous, flexible with a vine, ringing flattering speech flows from her lips. Lada gives people advice on how to live, what to do and what not to do. She condemns the guilty and exonerates the falsely accused. A long time ago, her temple stood on Ladoga, now her abode is the blue of heaven.
God of the Slavs Chernobog
Many ancient legends have been told about the evil spirits of the swamp, but not all of them have reached us. After all, they are protected by the powerful Chernobog - the ruler of the dark forces of evil and whim, serious illnesses and bitter misfortunes. This is the god of darkness. His abode is terrible forest thickets, ponds covered with duckweed, deep pools and marshy swamps.
He holds a spear in his hand with malice and rules the night. The evil spirits subordinate to him are numerous: goblins who entangle forest paths, mermaids who drag people into pools, cunning banniki, malicious and insidious ghouls, capricious brownies.
God of the Slavs Mokosh
Mokosh (Makesha) is the goddess of trade, like the ancient Roman Mercury. In Old Slavonic, mokosh means “full wallet.” She uses the harvest prudently. Another of its purposes is to control fate. She is interested in spinning and weaving; With spun threads she weaves the destinies of people. Young housewives were afraid to leave an unfinished tow overnight, believing that Mokosha would ruin the yarn, and with it, fate. Northern Slavs consider Mokosha an unkind goddess.
God of the Slavs Paraskeva-Pyatnitsa
Paraskeva-Friday is Mokoshi’s concubine, who made Paraskeva a deity ruling over riotous youth, gambling, drinking bouts with vulgar songs and obscene dances, as well as dishonest trade. Therefore, Friday was a market day in Ancient Rus' for a long time. On this day, women were not allowed to work, because for disobedience Paraskeva could wrap the naughty girl in a cold toad. It poisoned the water in wells and underground springs. Today this goddess has no power and is practically forgotten.
God of the Slavs Morena
The goddess, ruler of evil, incurable diseases and death, is Maruja or Morena. She sends severe winters, stormy nights, epidemics and wars to the Earth. Her image is a scary woman with a dark, wrinkled face with deep-sunk small eyes, a sunken nose, a bony body and the same hands with long curved nails. Ailments serve her. She herself never leaves. They drive her away, but she appears again and again.
