Ascension of Alexander. A find on the Yamal Peninsula. Hermitage Museum
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 doesnt 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.
And somewhere it would be audible for a fool to live,
Yes stupid to live, unreasonable?
And where, you hear, there is an Indian Earth,
Is the land of turkey all rich?
Like a lot of gold-silver there,
Yes, for more of that good pearl.
In the Indian land, the steppes are wild,
The steppe is wild, the forests are dark.
Yes, Indric the beast lives in those forests:
Its all pearly,
And the tail mane is gold-plated,
And his hooves are all damask
From his nostrils fire burns,
Smoke emanates from his ears.
He runs to drink in the Tarja River,
He runs, runs the whole earth trembles.
Here, one can see that Tarja River is mentioned as the place of the ancestral home of the Indo-Europeans, which remained with the Hellenes in the form of Tartarus, as one of the places of the country of their ancestors.. Researchers have established the indisputable connection of Indrik the beast with the Vedic and Hindu deity Indra, and his weapon a vajra, and a wahana (bearer) is the elephant of Ayravat, which also brings him closer to Ganesha, and on whose behalf the name of the country India, and the sacred river Indus, and the people Indians, and religion Hinduism are formed. And in the Russian North, many names of rivers with the most ancient common Indo-European root indus are still preserved. For example, the Indiga river, these are the river basins between the Pechora and Mezen rivers, the river flows into the Barents Sea, and one of the Indigi tributaries is the VREYA river (and it is known that Iriy-Vyriy is the name of the Kingdom of Heaven in Slavic myths). from Yamal, west of the Ob, in the same administrative district. The presence of places with the sacred name Ida in the Russian North is also interconnected. Ida is a village in the Babushkinsky district of the Vologda Oblast of Russia, Ida, the sacred mountain on the island of Crete, Ida, the sacred mountain of Troy, Ida, a river in Siberia, a tributary of the Angara. Ida, a river in Russia, flows in the Vologda and Kostroma region, Ida, a river in Slovakia. And of course, one cannot forget the legend of Idawell Field. Idavall or Idavallen (dr.-Scandinavian. Iðavöllr; Swedish. Idavallen; English. Idavoll) in Scandinavian mythology the plain on which the aces lived and had fun.
Scientists suggest that in the era of the ancient Indo-European ethnocultural community, Indra was the single supreme god of the Indo-Europeans. After the collapse of the Indo-European conglomerate of tribes and the departure of the Aryans from the North to the Hindustan peninsula, the memory of the Pre-Slavs, and subsequently of Russians, preserved one of Indras many hypostases Tsar of animals, to all beasts of the mother. A brief description of the people of Ostyatsky, Novitsky says: Some people who want to confirm the story for authenticity describe it in this way: its three arshins long, almost arshins long, its legs are like a bears, its horns are folded crosswise, and when digging caves, then it bends and stretches like a crawling snake. Some, contrary to this, argue that these bones belong to unicorns or some other marine animals, during the Noahs flood they were applied and dried up on the ground with water, but they left the land in antiquity. And the beast Indrik appeared. And the beast Indrik became the father of all the beasts, the beast of all the beasts. The beast Indrik himself is blue, and his eyes are golden. And maybe the beast Indrik turns into a mighty blue warrior. His eyes are golden, he shines with the blue radiance of inner light, he holds a stone club in his hands, and he is dressed in stone armor. And he is so huge, above the mountains he is underground. The beast Rides the Indrik giant the underground warrior through the underworld in a stone chariot.The wheels of the chariot are huge stone millstones, and monstrous black stone dogs, giant dogs, are harnessed to that chariot. And the eyes of those dogs burn like the lights of a thousand bonfires. And those dogs roar like a thousand thunders. And those dogs breathe fire and smoke. The beast Rides Indrik the giant underground warrior in the underworld in his chariot. And he fights with lizards and dragons underground. But the Underground Lizard creeps away from it into its hell. And he closes his hell on the copper door. Throughout the Russian North and even further in Manchuria and China legends about a strange creature of unprecedented growth named indrik-beast are widespread. He is supposedly the size of an elephant and endowed with horns that perform the function of an earth-moving device. Descriptions of the giant mole named tin-shu or yin-shu (the mouse that hides) we find in ancient Chinese books. Despite the hyperbolic dimensions of the incredible beast, it should be recognized that folk art is by no means a baseless fantasy. Life and real observations gave storytellers for this legend quite reliable material.
