      Frazer J.G., The golden Bough, London, 1923, Moscow, Political Literature Publishing House, 1986, p. 158: “The main deity of the Lithuanians was the god of thunder and lightning, Perkunas or Perkuns, whose resemblance to Zeus and Jupiter was often noted. Oak trees were dedicated to him, and when Christian missionaries cut them down, the locals openly expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that their forest deities were destroyed.In honor of Perkunas, eternal lights burned, supported by the wood of certain oak trees, if such a fire died out, it was again lit by rubbing pieces of a sacred tree. oaks, and women -. lindens This mozh¬no conclude that the oaks are seen being male, and li¬pah – female. “In connection with the affirmation of patriarchy among the Indo-European peoples, the oak became a “sacred” tree, and linden was a “bad” tree. “Linden” in Russian is called fake, fake. (ibid., p. 580). As the fire is lit, with the help of two cross-shaped stick-bars, the prototype of the future cross: “In Wales, the lights of Beltan, as usual, were also burned in early May; however, the date of this ceremony ranged from April 30 to May 3. Sometimes the fire was ignited by friction of two oak bars, which follows from the following description: “The fire was kindled in this way. Nine people turned their pockets inside out so that there wasn"t a single coin, not a single piece of metal. Then the men went into the nearby forests and collected nine different brushwood All this took shape in the place where the bonfire was to be laid out. A circle was drawn on the ground and firewood was folded crosswise inside it. The audience, closing the ring around the fire, watched what was happening. One of the men took two oak beams and rubbed them until until the flame appeared, the fire spread over the brushwood, and soon a huge bonfire flared up. Sometimes two bonfires were laid one against the other. These lights – one or both – were called coelcerth (translated: bonfires). Round pies from oatmeal and wholemeal were divided into four parts and put in a small bag from under the flour, and each had to take out its part from there. The last piece went to the one who held the bag. Those who pulled a piece of cake from wholemeal had to jump over the fire three times or run three times between two bonfires, which, according to those present, promised a plentiful harvest. The screams and squeals of people jumping through the flames were heard throughout the district. Those who pulled out a piece of cake from oatmeal sang, danced and clapped their hands, cheering the owners of wholemeal tortillas, jumping over the flames or running between two bonfires. “Frazer does not exclude that” … before plunging into the dense forests of Europe, the Aryans really, as some researchers believe, wandered with their herds along the vast steppes of Russia and Central Asia …»(ibid., pp. 662—663).

      Similar structures exist in Europe; they are called ring ditch culture. About 150 such structures are known to archaeologists in Germany, Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The diameter of the ditches varies from 20 to 130 meters, all of them belong to the 5th millennium BC. In their vicinity, tools, bones and some other artifacts were discovered. The largest of these structures was found in Leipzig in the 1990s, and another one was found near the village of Aitra near Leipzig. Findings in the context of circular ditches and related settlements with a characteristic feature – long houses – it is assumed that they were continuously used for about 200 years until about 4600 BC Ring ditch builders are usually associated with the culture of linear tape ceramics. Apparently, they lived in community long houses and were engaged in cattle breeding: cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.

      Megaliths of Vera Island are a complex of archaeological sites (megaliths – a chamber tomb, dolmens and menhirs) on the island of Lake Turgoyak (near Miass) in the Chelyabinsk region. The oldest megaliths on Earth were supposedly built about 6 thousand years ago, in the 4th millennium BC, that is, before the famous Stonehenge in England (5 thousand years ago, the 3rd millennium BC).

      “Shigirsky idol” is considered the oldest wooden sculpture on the planet, whose age, according to scientists, is 10 thousand years old.

      The Urals – this region geographically since the Paleolithic has been a bridge from south to north – this mountain highway from the Great Steppe to the Arctic turned out to be very important for the era of the initial settlement of Eurasia. In all mythologies, mountains are a divine sphere. In addition, all the early dwellings were in caves (a person mastered the planet, driving out a cave bear from there). Mountains are a convenient place for “nests” in which people live; it"s good to hide in the mountains. It is no accident that the Urals were both expensive and a cluster of “nests.” There was, on the one hand, a crossroads of heavy traffic, and on the other, shelters. It is in the Urals that the oldest civilization in the world arises, whose descendants found the oldest states on the planet – in Sumer, Ancient Egypt, India, Persia and China. Therefore, the Sumerians who came to Mesopotamia laid the foundations of one of the greatest civilizations there, and that is why the Sumerian writing was born СКАЧАТЬ
