Ancient Siberian History
A little hazy this morning and -8 C, yesterday it looked like the world dropped by at least a foot, I’m still just a little boy — I love watching the snow melt. Conflicting forecast today some say snow with rain today others say clear sky and up to 5 C, Hawaii watch out.
I was working with some geologist a few years ago at the Siberian Research Institute of Geology, Geophysics and Mineral Resources www.tf-sniiggims.ru where they map the lithosphere of the earth and they had concluded that the earth in Western Siberia had fallen some 300 meters about 11,000 years ago. They believe that Western Siberia should have fallen further and become a great ocean but there appears to be some unique soil in the earth of Western Siberia that keeps it afloat like a boat. So they suggest that we are not sitting directly on a mantle like most all other areas of the world but on liquid. Hence the fault lines end at the beginning of the Altai Mountain range and there are no great earthquakes in Western Siberia, we feel a gentle rocking like we’re on a boat.
Roerich with Tibetan monks somehow proved to the League of Nations and deemed Western Siberia as the location of the once great civilization Shambhala www.roerich.org. The Germans spent time looking for mystical technology here and to my knowledge they never found anything but they began to unearth ancient cities.
There is White Lake in the city of Tomsk that sits on top of Sunday Hill supposedly fed from deep within the earth and historically is said to be able to cure people of blindness, I still wear glasses. Not far from me is the fountain of youth, between Tomsk and Taiga near train stop 41, it is said that from sitting in it you will regenerate your health and become younger, also once said to be the waters that Adam and Eve would have drunk from (maybe this is why they eat the apple?), the waters never freeze and are always tepid http://volos-t.livejournal.com/66875.html. I’ve gone there a few times and it’s a mud hole just the same I had to try it. The mosquitoes and gnats were so bad that I wasn’t sure I became younger but for sure I swelled from the bites. I didn’t see any difference in my age but Barry would tell you that my voice sounds younger after taking a dip.
The Germans believed that there was a group of people that left this area some 6500 to 7000 years ago and brought technology and other things to India and the Middle East www.keltenmuseum.de. Even so much that they believe that the languages that span from Japan to Portugal come from the Altai and the Japanese and Portuguese word “thank you” is derives from this old language.
This is too much fun for today.
Maybe one of these times I’ll write about Genghis Khan and his hordes of gold which the Russians are still digging/looking for, or the great Chinese cities in Siberia that had no fire pits for heating (what, it used to be warm here!), or the Tatars who the Greeks concluded were both man and horse or maybe the Vikings who sailed down from the north and gave most of this area its modern names.
