How to get to the seidozero from the Lovozero. Lake Seydozero "Pearl of the Kola Land

Places of power on the Kola Peninsula.
Ezomir.

The Russian North, Hyperborea, the White Sea with its labyrinths and a powerful place of power - the Solovetsky Islands - these are all very well-known, often discussed topics. The Kola Peninsula, which is also part of the White Sea area, cannot be called forgotten, but in relation to places of power, it is rather poorly understood. An example of this is the stone island on Kanozero, discovered as a place of power only in the late 90s of the twentieth century.
. A small island with a rocky outcrop, densely decorated with petroglyphs, caused a sensation in the scientific world. Petroglyphs date back to the 3rd - 2nd millennium BC. e. later, similar rocks with petroglyphs were discovered on neighboring islands. We can talk about a whole complex of places of power, which was worshiped by the locals in those days when the pyramids of Egypt were still being built. Among the places of power on the Kola Peninsula, one can name the mountain Kuchintundra with a complex of stone seids, a very interesting and mysterious place, two stone labyrinths (there are seven such structures on the Kola Peninsula in total) on the shores of the Kandalaksha Bay of the White Sea, the seid "Flying Stone" on Mount Seidpakhk (ponoy river) and much, much more. And, of course, one of the most interesting places of power on the Kola Peninsula is the seidozero. There are several mountain ranges on the Kola Peninsula. Because of their features - flat treeless peaks - these mountain ranges are called tundras. The most attractive and famous among tourists are the Khibiny - the Khibiny tundra. This is the largest mountain range on the Kola Peninsula. Near the Khibiny is the second largest massif - the Lovozero tundra. Separates them, stretching from north to south, Umbozero, the deepest lake on the Kola. And just in the center of the Lovozero tundra, the goal of our trip is hidden, like a priceless pearl, the seidozero. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides and, attention, only at the eastern tip has a source in Lake Lovozero, which washes the Lovozero tundra from the East. Seidozero occupies almost the entire valley, leaving a forest space only along the banks, in the foothills. The lake is 8 km long and up to 2.5 km wide. You can get to this lake on foot, the shortest way is through the Elmoraiok mountain pass. The trail to the pass starts at the edge of the city of Revda, through the territory of the existing mining complex. Traveling through the pass can be dangerous in bad weather or for an unprepared person. They talk about several deaths and tell terrible stories about those who got lost in the fog and never managed to overcome this, in general, a fairly simple pass. You can easily and quickly get to the seidozero valley by helicopter, but this is the way of official expeditions. Another long route can take you to the valley of the seidozero - take a boat along Lovozero to reach the river connecting these two lakes, and then along the path along the river to get to the valley. This long and difficult route will take you to the eastern end of the lake. It was this route that Barchenko's expedition got into the valley of the seidozero.
Legends and myths of the seidozero.
Seidozero is quite well known among a certain kind of people. People who are engaged in esotericism and secret knowledge often go there for revelation. This place is visited by ufologists, they are interested in the anomalous zone and UFOs, which are often seen in the valley and paleoarchaeologists looking for Hyperborea. According to some researchers, she was right here. Physicists come to study force geomagnetic anomalies. One of the most mysterious stories about the seidozero is the story of the Barchenko expedition, but more on that below. Seidozero has a rich folklore and mythological history. This holy lake is a place of power for the Sami, a people who have lived in these places since ancient times. They revered this lake and worshiped it. Enough ancient legends and beliefs are connected with this lake. In their beliefs, the lake, with a respectful attitude towards it, acts as a bright and pure force. According to one version, seid is translated as a saint. Seydozero is a holy lake. According to another, the lake is called so because of the large number of seids located around the lake on the surrounding peaks. Seids are pyramidal stacks of stones or individual boulders, according to the Sami, they keep the souls of shamans, locally noids, and are objects of veneration for local residents. There are really a huge number of seids on the surrounding mountains. Often these stone pyramids can be seen on the peaks surrounding the lake. But it is difficult, if not impossible, to figure out which of them were originally built and which were built by tourists. One of the most striking sights of the seidozero is kuyvo (kuyva) - a huge natural image (more than 70 meters in height), resembling a person, on one of the rocks on the northern shore of the lake. Despite its natural origin, the Kuivo figure has not changed its shape for many years. One of the legends says that this is a trace of a giant hunter incinerated by the lightning of the gods, who oppressed the local Lapps. What else can be said about the region of the Lovozero tundra? Too many deaths are thought to occur there. Basically, this is the death of individual tourists or entire groups. For inexplicable reasons, both walking groups in the Lovozero tundra and water workers on the Lovoozero lake, famous for its unpredictable temper, disappear and die. And, of course, Bigfoot. Some researchers believe that Bigfoot is quite possible in the region of the Lovozero tundra.
Expedition Barchenko.
Barchenko's expedition is a kind of starting point in the formation of a huge layer of secrets surrounding the seidozero. We know for sure that there was a real person, a mystic, occultist and scientist, perhaps a magician Alexander Vasilyevich Barchenko. He traveled the world, including to India, was seriously interested in esotericism. After the 1917 revolution, he began working at the Institute of the Brain and Higher Nervous Activity. It is known for sure that Barchenko, as part of his work in the special department of the Ogpu, prepared and led an expedition in 1922 to the Kola Peninsula, to the area of ​​Lovozero and Seidozero. The official goal of the expedition was to study the phenomenon of "Merechenya" (Emerik, Arctic hysteria. There is no reliable data about what exactly the Barchenko expedition discovered in the area of ​​​​the seidozero, only some rumors, fragments of information, indistinct evidence from satellites. Documents on the expedition or I could not find any other reliable sources of information.Therefore, everything that is said about the results of the Barchenko expedition can and should be questioned, however, the results themselves remain very mysterious and intriguing and I really want it all to be true. What did Barchenko discover?We know about this from the diary of a member of the expedition, astronomer Alexander Kondiaini.
* first of all, the expedition discovered a geoanomalous zone in the area of ​​​​the seidozero;
* paved road along the river connecting seidozero and Lovozero. At the beginning and at the end.
Roads are cubic stones, faces oriented to the cardinal points (the presence of a road under -.
Confirmed by modern expeditions;
* a yellowish-white column like a giant candle;
* a gigantic cave at a height of 200 sazhens and nearby something like a walled-up crypt;.
* a hole under the lake (it was never found in the future);
* pyramids of artificial origin;
* near the pyramids and manholes in the caves, the members of the expedition experienced a feeling of causelessness.
Animal horror.
There is an opinion that Barchenko discovered the remains of a certain pracivilization. I wonder what.
The expedition sent in the footsteps of Barchenko in 1923 did not confirm his Finds. And here.
Expedition Valery Demin in 1997 and other expeditions to a large extent confirmed.
And they discovered many more mysterious and incomprehensible. Barchenko's life ended tragically. He was shot in April 1938 for counter-revolutionary activities. The materials on the Kola expedition were classified or destroyed, it is not known exactly.

The natural landscapes of Russia are diverse. Among them there are picturesque seascapes, endless steppe expanses, mountain ranges striving upwards, impenetrable forests winding through them, ornate ribbons of wide and mighty rivers. There are different places, ordinary, to the ordinary, mysterious to the point of trembling in the fingers, and there are completely anomalous and mystical.

One of these truly anomalous places on the map of Russia is. It is he who is the cradle of Hyperborea, a half-mythical, long-vanished civilization that annually attracts crowds, both lovers of everything mysterious and incomprehensible, and ordinary tourists.

Many objects are worthy of attention, a lot of everything mysterious and incomprehensible can be seen on the territory of the Kola Peninsula. These are mysterious labyrinths, laid out by someone's skillful hands, and Seids - massive stones, it is not clear how, raised and set on stands made of smaller stones. But the most picturesque and most mystical of the places on the Kola Peninsula is Lake Seydozero. It is located in the Lovozero tundra near the settlements of Lovozero and Revda. Most travelers who want to see the beauty of an amazing place with their own eyes prefer to walk from the nearest settlements. You can lay the route yourself or use the services of numerous guides.

Seydozero of legend

First of all, translated from the language of the Sami - the indigenous people of the Kola Peninsula, the name of the lake means "sacred", which in itself cannot but arouse curiosity in a person who is interested. In addition, most researchers of everything paranormal consider Lake Seydozero to be the heart of Hyperborea, which has disappeared in the abyss of time. Expeditions were repeatedly sent to the lake, which recorded all kinds of psychological phenomena, oddities that happened to people who fell, and especially those who fell for the first time, under the unnatural charm of a natural lake.

There is a hypothesis that Hyperborea did not disappear anywhere, that it exists, exists. As if on the shores of the lake (and some believe that directly under the thickness of its waters) there is a whole underground city founded by Hyperborean priests. Who knows, maybe to this day priests walk in its underground corridors, secret ceremonies are held?!

Expeditions arriving at the lake often find all sorts of artifacts, either indirectly confirming the hypothesis of the existence of a Hyperborean civilization on the shores of the lake, or indirectly refuting it. Disputes do not subside, passions boil, which means that Hyperborea is alive, and with it the lake, named sacred by the Sami, is alive.

It is quite easy for modern travelers to find places for their educational trips or a carefree vacation. If one could for a short time find oneself in the relatively recent 90s, then it would immediately become clear that in those days tourists, even the most active ones, did not have such a colossal choice as they do now. There are more and more inquisitive travelers who have ceased to like traditional types of recreation, primarily associated with beaches or excursions. They are attracted by the varieties of adventure tourism that have become quite popular. Going to little-known or almost unknown lands is a real adventure full of excitement and risk.

Brief information about Seydozero

Seydozero is located in the Murmansk region on the Kola Peninsula in the Lovozero tundra. Height above sea level 189 meters. The lake has a length of about 8 kilometers and a width of 1.5 to 2.5 kilometers. The Elmorajok River flows into the lake and the Seydjavryok River flows out.

Geographical coordinates of the lake: 67°49′10″ s. sh. 34°51′10″ E d.

How to get to Seydozero

The lake can be reached by two routes.

Route 1. Train Route 2. Car

By car you can get on the Murmansk highway M-18 to the village of Revda. From the village of Revda, you need to get to the Karnasutra mine.

History of Lake Seydozero

Seydozero - the name of the lake comes from the Sami word "seid" and means sacred.

The lake has a mystical history, rumors constantly circulate around it that UFOs, Bigfoot and other inexplicable phenomena have been seen on it.

Over the past hundred years, several scientific expeditions have been carried out to Seydozero. The first scientists visited Seydozero in 1887. The next expedition was ordered by Felix Edmundovich Dzerzhinsky in 1922, led by Alexander Barchenko.

Soviet occultist, writer, researcher of telepathy, hypnotist. Conducted research work within the framework of a special special department of the OGPU.
Born in 1881

After the October Revolution of 1917, Barchenko was invited to work at the Institute of the Brain and Higher Nervous Activity, whose director was Professor V. M. Bekhterev.

The NKVD became interested in Barchenko's research, after which active work began in a special special department of the OGPU under the leadership of G. I. Bokiy.

In the early 1920s, he led an expedition to the center of the Kola Peninsula, to the area of ​​Lovozero and Seydozero, where he allegedly found man-made monuments. After Barchenko's reporting speech at the Institute of the Brain about his research, he was hired by Glavnauka on October 27, 1923 as a consultant scientist.

In 1923, Barchenko organized the esoteric society "United Labor Brotherhood", which included A. A. Zakharov, the wife of P. D. Uspensky Sofya Grigoryevna, G. I. Bokiy and others.

From the time of his studies at Yuriev University and acquaintance with the works of Saint-Yves D'Alveidre, Barchenko was interested in Shambhala as a kind of center of ancient culture and science that exists in the mountains of Tibet. As part of the special department, he was preparing for an expedition in search of Shambhala in order to master the legacy of the "secret science", but the expedition did not take place. According to one version, instead of Barchenko, G. V. Chicherin supported the Tibetan expedition of the artist Nikolai Roerich, allegedly associated with the OGPU (according to the authors, who were members of the Roerich movement, Roerich was not associated with the OGPU).

Arrested May 21, 1937. On April 25, 1938, he was convicted by the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR to capital punishment on charges of creating the Masonic counter-revolutionary terrorist organization "United Labor Brotherhood" and espionage in favor of England (paragraphs 6, 8 and 11 of Article 58 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR). Shot on the same day.

According to Wikipedia

Search for Shambhala by the NKVD of the USSR headed by Barchenko

The aim of the scientists of the young republic was to search for contacts with Shambhala.

Unfortunately, the results of the research were classified by the NKVD and the truth about them has not yet been disclosed.

In 1997, expeditions "Hyperborea-97" and "Hyperborea-98" headed by Doctor of Philosophical Sciences Valery Demin went to the lake, the purpose of the expedition was to find traces of the ancient homeland of mankind - Hyperborea. The expedition found various artifacts, rock paintings, pyramidal stones and other traces of ancient people.

Demin Valery Nikitich

Russian scientist, writer, biographer. Member of the Writers' Union of Russia.

Head of the amateur search expedition "Hyperborea". Author of more than 100 works of scientific, artistic and fiction content, including 35 books on the general theory of dialectics, philosophical science, methodology of Russian cosmism.

Mysterious places

There are many daredevils among Russians who choose places that are not in demand by tourists for their exciting travels. Most often, under the influence primarily of television programs, adventurous travelers have a sincere desire to visit one of the unusual places shrouded in secrets and mysteries.

The stories of people who managed to visit these lands are full of descriptions of various inexplicable events that happened either with them or with someone else. Being in these mysterious places, voluntary researchers suddenly begin to feel better, become much more cheerful and cheerful.

Someone even manages to find unusual artifacts, which, in their opinion, testify to the visit of these parts of our planet by representatives of either disappeared peoples or extraterrestrial highly intelligent civilizations.

What is special about Seidozero?

Travelers have heard many stories that excite the imagination about Seydozero, comfortably located on the picturesque Kola Peninsula. This tiny body of water is usually reached on foot along well-trodden paths over several years. More affluent travelers are more comfortable using a helicopter for this purpose. You can start in one of the nearby villages.

This may be Lovozero - a tiny town on the shores of the lake of the same name, as well as located a little closer to Revda. Traveling from the latter is possible only by car to Elmorajok, a mountain pass well-known to the locals, covered with tundra thickets. And from it - a relatively short walking distance to the desired goal - the mysterious lake. Usually, guests of this region receive help from fairly experienced instructors who accompany them to the place.

Seydozero is lucky to be located in a small and quiet valley. This is what saves travelers from the cool winds typical of the tundra. Most often, tourists are located on a not very hospitable rocky beach or not far from it. This valley, as well as the surrounding area, was once chosen by representatives of the Sami people, who still live in some parts of the peninsula. Travelers who spend some time here do improve quite quickly.

According to some of them, in the evenings someone even suffers from hallucinations. Most often, all these phenomena are explained by various anomalies associated with the magnetic and seismic features of this area. Most of the travelers who have been here fell in love with these places, first of all, for the unique views, wonderful landscapes and for the opportunity to come into contact with mysterious finds, the meaning of which everyone is free to explain in their own way.

Mysterious finds

The Saami who once lived here attributed a special sacred meaning to Seydozero, which is reflected in its name. Not all travelers arriving in these parts know that the numerous stones scattered both around the lake and in it were considered sacred by the locals, that is, in their language - "seid". With the help of the finds of several authoritative scientific expeditions that visited these places in different historical epochs, it has not yet been possible to prove the existence of the mysteriously disappeared Hyperborea here.

Representatives of this mythical civilization described in various works were able to build geometrically flawless structures in the form of fortresses, majestic pyramids and roads laid out of stone slabs. So far, experts have found the remains of an impressive fortress wall, several rectangular slabs and a well-like structure.

Several attempts have also been made to find the mysterious city of shamans, known mainly from myths, which, as follows from the texts, is located somewhere in the depths of the lake. However, dense layers of silt and sand did not allow the complex work to be carried out effectively, therefore, so far only the possible existence of some large holes under the deep-water valley is known.

The explanation of the origin of the unusual 75-meter figure of the legendary Kuyva also remains controversial. Most experts support the hypothesis not of a mythical giant burned by lightning on a rock, but of small plants that naturally formed a human-like silhouette.

Despite scientifically based explanations, backed up by serious research, travelers arriving in these parts for the most part continue to believe in legends and tales. If Seydozero were in Britain, then it would have the fate of the famous Loch Ness.

It is possible that in the distant future the local authorities will organize a thriving business, using the faith of traveling tourists in the secrets of the Sami, the disappeared high-tech Hyperborea and the ancient deep-sea city. In the meantime, it remains for brave lovers of distant wanderings, overcoming impassability and long distances, to get to this amazing region, relying only on their physical capabilities.

Planet channel film about Seydozero

To date, in his opinion, the dimensions of the base of Luyavrurt have remained the same, but the height has decreased to 1000 m, forming a depression in the center of the massif with an area of ​​40 km 2 and a depth of 800 m. mountains flow into numerous streams running from deep gorges. “Outside, from all directions of the world, the massif is literally eaten away by mountain cirques, ranging in size from one to two and a half kilometers. There are no circuses in the central basin.” They will be discussed further separately.

Seidozero lies in a deep mountain basin, where a completely unique microclimate has developed. And if we talk about the fauna and flora of this amazing lake, then we must start with the fact that evergreen spruce forests 200-300 years old border it, less often pine is found in these places.

Tree species grow here that are quite rare in the Lovozero region, such as aspen and alder.

Plants growing on the slopes and tops of mountains are forced to adapt to these harsh conditions. The constant impact of wind and snow does not allow them to grow tall, so lichen spruce forests are very undersized, creeping along the ground.

Above the spruce forest on the slopes - birch crooked forest, even higher - mountain tundra and, finally, stone desert.

Many streams, originating in the mountains, gather into small rivers and flow into the lake.

Seidozero has no equal reservoirs in the vast expanses of the Far North of Russia in 11 million square kilometers. State Inspector of the Murmansk Regional Committee of Ecology I. Kondratovich in the article “Shall we save the polar pearl?” In the newspaper "Murmansky Vestnik" he wrote that intensively fished reservoirs of the region amount to 2-3 kilograms of average fish production per hectare of water area. Seidozero, according to data even twenty years ago, on average for 15 years gave 17 kilograms of whitefish per hectare, and the largest catch reached 35 kilograms per hectare per year! The waters of the lake are low-mineralized. One of the features of the lake is its high fish productivity. Three species of whitefish live here, which differ in the timing and places of spawning, the structure of the gill apparatus. And you will not confuse the Seidozersky whitefish with any other whitefish. Its life expectancy can reach 15 years, weight - two to three kilograms.

The flora of this area is rich. Only rare and endangered species of plants listed in the Red Book, more than 50.

Many species of animals live in the basin of the lake: bear, elk, deer, fox, marten, mink, and others. The world of birds is also diverse. There are mergansers, loons, geese, waders, dippers, swans; from chicken - capercaillie, black grouse, partridge.

Elmorajok Creek Gorge

Spirit Lake Mysteries

The ancient land of the Sami is rich in wild, fabulous places, covered with various legends. It also has its own pearl - a unique, unrepeatable in its beauty, Lake Seydozero, hidden in the mountains. If the day is sunny, then the silver surface of the lake, covered with sheer cliffs, is calm, friendly; if the wind breaks through the gorge - it roars, foams, buzzes. And God forbid to be at such a time on the lake, the boat will break into chips. And I have not heard so many stories about any of the lakes as about Seydozero.

The question arises why the Sami called so many lakes by the same name - Seityavvr, or Seydozero? Many will say: because they worshiped stones - seids. But the old people said that the Nuites, the sorcerers of Lapland, thereby confused the curious, leading them away from sacred places. And the Holy Lake was especially guarded. Everyone knew: the Sami have a miracle lake - full of fish, but they didn’t know how to get to it, how to get to it.

In the late 1920s, as the well-known ethnographer V.V. Charnolusky describes these events, a fishing artel was organized from the poor Saami.

Varvara Koybina was appointed the foreman of the fishermen. This Sami woman knew lake fishing very well, strictly observed the customs of her grandfathers and did not encroach on other people's toni assigned to one or another family. But the Komi-Izhemtsy, who came to the lands of the Sami, found out where the fish were. They sent Vanka Kokulev to Varvara's brigade, and he found out where to fish, opened a secret approach to Seydozero, and then left the brigade. In the autumn of 1929, the Izhma people came to all the Sami lakes. The Sami have missed their lake.

During the war years, when all the men went to the front, two old men and women remained at Seydozero. They were led by Agafya Efimovna Galkina. She recalled that during the war years the lake provided as many fish as she had never seen in her entire long life. As if Seydushka shared his good with people.

For many years a brigade of fishermen lived on Seydozero. And there were Saami, Komi, and Russians in that brigade. Since the 1950s, Ivan Grigoryevich Terentyev, a veteran of the Tundra state farm, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, the oldest fisherman not only of the farm, but, perhaps, of Lovozero, has been the foreman on the Holy Lake. Ivan Ivanovich Yuryev also fished in his brigade, who knew the habits of fish well, the places where whitefish accumulated. A wise fisherman often helped the foreman with advice. As once the ancestors of the Sami fishermen caught silver whitefish with a blue tint of grayling, golden-spotted trout.

They say that in winter, shaggy springs boil in it among the ice, and the birds that winter on the lake fly here to drink water, different animals pave paths to those places. They say that the lake has a double bottom or a bottomless hole, which the old rumor does not order to measure.

Brigadier Ivan Grigoryevich Terentyev complained: the riddles of Seidozer more than once crossed out all the plans of the fishermen, built on numerous experiences: either they would give out fish where it had never been before, or suddenly close all their pantries altogether. Then even traditional fishing spots return an empty net to the fishermen. “In my opinion, the old people used to say correctly that there was another lake under Seydozero, communicating with the upper one. I myself stood near that hole at the bottom, but did not dare to measure its depth, ”I. G. Terentyev shared his thoughts.

There is a legend that there is a place where Seydozero can be forded. But there was still no daredevil who would check it.

And there is also a legend that Seydushka, the owner of the lake, has three daughters, and the owner gives those fishermen a rich catch, which will give equivalent gifts to his daughters (threads of beads, coins served as them). The boats moved silently, the nets were not thrown - they slowly descended into the water, and at the same time not a single word was uttered. And then he promised the catch to be fabulously rich.

The scientist V. Yu. Vize, who visited these places in 1910, wrote: “The so-called Seidozero Lapps live here only in the summer: Kuzma Danilov, Gavrilo Zakharov, Maxim and Fedot Galkin with their wives.” Maxim and Fedot - my own grandmother Natasha will have a grandfather and father. Agafya Efimovna, who fished on Seydozero during the war, Fedot is a dear uncle. From this reminiscence of Wiese, we see that the Saami lived and fished on Seydozero all summer.

There was even a kind of center there: neighbors came to visit on holidays.

Seidozero sleeps in winter. In ancient times, the Sami did not dare to pierce the icy body of the lakes, being afraid to invite trouble on themselves. This is stated in the legend about old Nyal and his sons: “Nyal took out his combat knife and, without thinking twice, began to break through the ice. He stabbed into the frozen body of the river. He made a considerable cut when he thought: “Death will come to me for this: I stabbed mother water with a knife.”

What interest does our Seydozero arouse among people! For the Saami, this is a religious and cult place. It attracts geologists with unique minerals. This is a great place for hiking and fishing. Many are attracted by an unusual phenomenon - “measuring”. Mikhail Zhavnerko from St. Petersburg observed him in 1999. Being on Seydozero, he seemed to have met doubles from life. People came to the fishermen's house, where Mikhail was, an exact copy of his relatives. UFO enthusiasts consider the Seydozero area a unique biogenic zone and are looking for Bigfoot in its vicinity...

There are plenty of mysteries near Lake Seydozero and the surrounding Lovozero Mountains.

Many secrets of the origin of these magical places are reflected in the Sami legends. One of them, almost forgotten, is about the deer Myantashshe, who is being chased by the God of Thunder - Ayik. Further, the legend says that if the first arrow hits a deer, it will cause an earthquake and the massifs of the Saamiedny mountain will disintegrate, and fire will break out from the vents of the ancient underground volcanoes of Seydozero in Lovozero and the valley of the Mozhzhevelnikova and Tulyoka rivers in the Khibiny, lakes and rivers will dry up. If the second arrow hits the forehead of a deer, fire will spread over the whole earth. And when the dogs of the hunter Thunder - Ayik attack the deer, and he plunges a knife into his very heart, then the stars will fall from the sky, the Sun will die and the end of the world will come.

Or maybe not all of these legends are fiction? Maybe Ayike's first arrow has already reached the golden-horned deer Myantashsh? And just for a while, the ancient volcano fell asleep?

Sami fishermen used to say that white swans nest on Seydozero, and as if they were not swans at all, but the souls of Lop ancestors, protecting the lake from evil eyes from early spring to late autumn. The water in the lake is something that, perhaps, cannot be found anywhere else. Special, unique, low salt content. Ecologists, having taken samples from Seydozero and analyzed the water, found out that here it is not conditionally, but definitely clean. Drink - don't get drunk!

Closely adjacent to the Pomors, the Sami adopted Russian pagan holidays from them. For example, the day of Ivan Kupala. And the Sami youth, as happened in Russia, was looking for a flowering fern on the Holy Lake. And that night the Kupala bonfires burned, clearing the Sami jumping over them from diseases. A child conceived on the lake of Spirits on Midsummer Night was considered a sacred child. And with trepidation, people doused themselves with the water of the sacred lake. And the Sami youth in the old days looked for special, conspiracy herbs, which they brewed in the winter and drank secretly from adults.

Seidozero autumn is striking. Such a variety of colors that a state of intoxicating joy arises from the combination of the ringing brightness of foliage and the blueness of the lake. The water of the Holy Lake fills with strength.

In her first interview about Seidozero with Alexander Borisovich Gurvits, who has been constantly traveling to the Lovozero Tundras since the 60s, namely to the area of ​​Seidozero, she asked:

Do you think this place is a volcano bowl?

Of course. This is also mentioned in the Atlas of the Murmansk region ... Hurvits, coming to Seidozero every year, studies the bioenergetics of these places. According to him, the whole land is schematically divided into white and black fields. Black ones represent geopathogenic zones, that is, zones where a person experiences constant stress, often and seriously gets sick, and, conversely, white ones are biogenic stimulants.

Geopathogenic zones have always been called dead places or places cursed by God, which people bypassed. And Seydozero, in his opinion, is unique for replenishing human vital energy.

Having visited the Holy Lake, you again feel: it is alive! And water, and mountains, and vegetation. Everything seems to be watching warily: will you cause harm? And stepping on dwarf birch trees that bend under your feet to the ground, you ask for forgiveness, because you rely on them with all your weight. Climbing up the slope, asking the branches of the trees to hold tightly, not to let them fall down. You step on wet and mossy stones - you ask them to lie firmly, not to let them slip. In my memory, the Holy Lake has remained tiny - you can place it in the palm of your hand. It was for me like a family estate, my property. With this consciousness all the years and lived. It's strange: in childhood everything seems big and meaningful.

And I had to experience an unprecedented surprise when I saw from the top of the mountain all the greatness of the Seidozero. And you're not big, but the lake! It fills you with its incomprehensibility. And there is no fear of this greatness, only a great feeling of gratitude to the Lord, who created such beauty that takes your breath away!

It's great when a person believes in something. In my feeling, Seidozero is like a space of love created for me by my grandmother in childhood. I always feel completely happy there. And even if I don't go to Seydozero, it lives in my heart, in my soul. I go there at his call. I know that Seyd will open all roads, all paths if he wants to see me. Without this call, I don’t go to the Holy Lake.

Kuyva

What legends are not connected with Seydozero, but the most famous one is about Kuyva! And in all likelihood it is at least a thousand years old. Kuyva is a rock image of the crucified Sami god - a giant "petroglyph" 72 meters high. Many legends about him are composed by the people. For example:

Kuyva is a very real image that lives in a parallel astral world. Kuiva, like a person, has a mood that changes depending on the circumstances. Today he is happy with the behavior of his daughters, tomorrow he is dissatisfied with the leprosy of one of them and can vent his anger on anyone, as we say, who has fallen under a hot hand.

We have dealt with Kuiva. What is Seid?

Seyit or Seydy are spirits represented by the astral world, and there are many of them on Seydozero. Spirits of the lake, mountains. Each section of the mountain, each canyon, gorge has its owner. At certain times, they even get together for their meetings.

And can Kuyva, in your opinion, punish tourists and travelers for something?

Quite possible. The attitude of the owner of the place to travelers and tourists is very different here. It all depends on how they behave. If they do not swear, treat each other well and attentively in the group, are honest and sincere, then they can not be afraid of anything - everything will be fine.

When Alexander Borisovich took pictures of Kuyva, his partner climber Mikhail Khominok approached Kuyva and touched the old rock, which protruded from the wall by almost a meter and a half, with his palm. He did not understand what it was, either lichen, or soot. And then a strange uneasy feeling seized the climber. Mikhail, having removed the ring from his finger, placed it at the foot of the Kuyva and quickly moved away from it.

Seydozero researchers give various explanations for the black bas-relief formed on the rock: a giant petroglyph; old breed, scorched by the sun; the shadow of a man on the wall left after a nuclear explosion; mythical titan incinerated by lightning; and what is absolutely incredible is the imprint of a downed Hyperborean plane that crashed into a rock.

This place is not easy, in a word, Seitushkino village, as my grandmother used to say. She told me:

Will accept Sate - you will be under his protection all your life, he will not accept ... It would be better if he accepted.

As a child, in the morning, I used to come out of the plague and hear my grandmother's instructions:

If you go to the lake to wash yourself, don't go into the water. Quietly say hello to Seitushka.

And so I’m standing on a pebble, and my heart ... No, I don’t bend over, I get on my knees. God! God! Who are you, Lord? Maybe you are Seitushko? Well, how! The rays of the sun crawled across the water from behind the mountain. Yes, it’s not only talking, it’s a sin to breathe here!

It's done! Either the dream came true, or some kind of miracle, only again I approach the lake, greet Seitushka, present him with a “silver” coin, a string of beads and listen with my heart whether the lake will accept me or not. However, accepted! Seitushko was waiting for me, he was glad! Because, having approached the lake, I visibly saw: Sate got up, stood in front of me with a transparent milky shadow and greeted his already adult daughter.

Remember, granddaughter, the earth is mother dear. You will regret the earth, you will become wiser. Honor water, without water a man is dry. You will drink water - you will return youth. Water gives a fish, eat a fish - you will become smart!

Chivruai stream gorge

Snowman

The forest spirit lives in the Sami myths - Mets-vuinas (N. N. Kharuzin has Metz - the owner). A dark creature, furry. He does no harm to people if they do not annoy him. If they sing songs in the forest, shout, make noise, then Myots-Vuinas can get angry and you won’t find the way back. That's why the old people say: the forest loves peace and quiet.

More than one person told about the fact that people begin to stray on Seydozero. Here, for example, is the story of Yevgeny Mikhailovich Mingalev, who worked for a long time as the head of the Lovozero District Department of Internal Affairs. He didn't believe the stories about Seita. And once with a friend Alexander Livruk I decided to go through the pass to Seydozero (both were fond of mineralogy). They threw stones into the backpack and thought: why don’t they come to Kuyva, if there is time?

There was a slight mist, but this did not frighten them. Cheerful and cheerful, they went to the place of the Sami deity. Two kilometers straight, no more. Twenty minutes go by, Kuyva is gone, an hour is gone. Two hours later they came back to the same place. Mingalev says: “Listen, Sanya, I don’t understand what it is?” “I have no idea,” his friend replies. And Kuyva again looks at them through the birch trees, as if nothing had happened. Mingalev suggests to his comrade: "Come on, Sanya, let's try to approach him again, because he's right next to him." And again the same picture. Two hours passed and each time we found ourselves at a familiar birch. It was already getting dark. The men were seriously frightened. They left for one day, there was no tent, and they still had to pass the pass ... We decided not to tempt fate anymore. And until they reached the path, fear did not leave them.

In 1997, Yevgeny Lazarev, a correspondent for the journal Science and Religion, came to Mount Selsurt near Seydozero. The picture seemed majestic, solemn. From Salsurt, Eugene went to the mountain Kemes-pahhchorr. I got there in two hours, examined it and went back, but then the wind came up, everything was shrouded in fog, and soon darkness fell on the mountains. Eugene took cover behind a stone block and lay down in a sleeping bag. When it began to get light, at 5 in the morning, he began to descend the mountain. He walked quickly, because he got very wet during the night. And so it went until 12 days. He knew for sure that there should be a slope, but there was none, one flat place. The wind was blowing with snow grains, and the segment that he covered in an hour now covered in seven hours. Fog drove. It is not for nothing that Selsurt is translated from the Sami as a misty mountain.

Vasily Alekseevich Galkin, who worked for many years as a foreman of reindeer breeders at the Tundra state farm, recalled that when he lived there, in the evening “none of the children were allowed to make noise. For us, it was fear ... After ten, all the games stopped. Here, both the lake and the mountains are special ... In general, they were afraid. Then dream in a dream! At night, the lake rests, and everyone should rest. There was some kind of faith ... ". Further, Maria Gavrilovna Medvedeva spoke about the same thing: “Women were strictly forbidden to go to Kuiva, they said that everything inside them would turn to stone.” Maria Ivanovna Zakharova recalled that in Seydozero, the Sami did not even wash the dishes, only in streams. And water for food from the lake was not taken in buckets, but scooped up with ladles and not against, but with the flow. The water in Seydozero is not stagnant, the turbulent river Seydyavryegk flows from it.

V. N. Demin in the journal "Science and Religion" described an incident that happened to the expedition members on Mogilny Island, the largest island of Seydozero. Before they had time to unload on the forbidden island of Mogilny (where to this day there are traces of sacrifices in the form of deer skulls and horns), they put the apparatus "Kiev" in a conspicuous place, and a minute later it disappeared, as if evaporated. The Saami have a legend about Mogilny Island that it supposedly is floating, and when it floats along the banks of the Seydozero, a beautiful Goddess of Waters, dressed in rays of light, appears on its sharp cape. She looks out for men, seduces them, and then mercilessly drowns them in the lake.

The author of the article "The anomalous zone is nearby" Natalya Anisimova writes about the story of Oleg Kadol, who visited Seydozero with a group of researchers in 1999. He told her that when they set up a tent city at the very “feet” of the deity, everything immediately went awry for them. Everyone quarreled and, having missed for a week, moved their tents away from Kuyva.

Exploring the rock image of Kuyva, young scientists found that the image is of a completely natural origin. “Cracks carved by water in a pliable slate rock surface. The channels of cracks are covered with black petrified remains of mosses and lichens, which form the natural pattern. One thing is not clear why it persists for so long, because more and more furrows are constantly formed on shale, their grid is very short-lived. But Kuyva does not age.”

And, probably, because in recent years, shots, the howling of motorcycles, and the cries of tipsy amateur fishermen have begun to disturb the peace of the tundra more and more often, it began to seem to people that a Bigfoot, nicknamed Afonya by the Sami children, was wandering around Seydozero.

After we filmed Seyda in 1996, as the people call Seydozero, and they came to Motka, Filippov Maxim asked us, who all this time, waiting, was fishing on Lovozero:

Did Afonya the Bigfoot disturb your peace? He drove the Revdinsky fishermen from the shore on the second day. He whistled, then threw stones at their hut, they barely waited for the light, moved out. They say they saw his shadow.

To be honest, we were surprised. All four days of our stay on the lake - neither the dog Topik barked, nor fear visited us.

Alexander Danilenok, who is skeptical of mysticism, gave his conclusion, which brooks no objections:

The bear was seen drunk, and the cry was raised ...

Local fishermen and hunters say that four Revda guys died in the early 90s for a reason. They were allegedly killed by Bigfoot, or the owner of the forest! In those days, as they report, the fishermen once again saw his footprints, and the day before he drove another group of guys out of the forest - apparently, they went in the wrong place, invaded forbidden places. One of the versions, for what reason the “owner” attacked four guys, was suggested to me by a hunter from Revda, writes Vadim Chernobrov. According to him, on the eve of a friend, someone stronger than a bear got into a bear trap, broke it and got free. That's where the guys got him. Probably not at all by chance - one of the guys was the son of a hunter ... I can’t say what is true and what is fiction in these stories, but one thing is for sure - grimaces of horror froze on the faces of all four guys at the moment of death. Alexander Danilenok also told me about this, who, with the rescue expedition, found the boys.

In 2000, during the expedition of V.N. Demin, its members - Andrey Shirenkov and Roman Sarapin - fell into the fog on Mount Kuyvchorr and wandered all night in search of a safe descent. When they went down to the impenetrable swamp that separated them from Seydozero, they suddenly saw a man with a long gray beard and a woman with a child hundreds of meters away. They especially remember the woman: her skin is white, her hair is white, her clothes are white... Without a word, this trinity went through the most difficult place, turned away from the men and slowly walked away.

I had already heard about a white woman from Anna Efimovna Navokhatko, my great-aunt, a Sami songwriter who knew the life of her people, their customs and legends very well, who called this woman the mistress of the mountains. By the way, a white woman was also shown to one of the members of the Barchenko expedition, as Alexander Kondiain wrote about in his diary.

Seydozero (Seytyavr) is a sacred place for the Saami. For many centuries, the locals revered this lake. Even nature itself seemed to fence him off from prying eyes.

Somewhere here, in the region of Seydozero on the Kola Peninsula, 11-15 thousand years ago there was Hyperborea, a unique civilization that not only possessed knowledge in the field of many high technologies, but also left its mark on many cultures, religions ....

Prometheus Rock

According to the myth, it was on the Kola Peninsula that Prometheus was chained to a high rock by order of Zeus. As if to confirm this, on the mountain standing on the banks of the Seydozero, there is a gigantic image of a crucified man.

Seydozero is surrounded by mountains on three sides. They protect it from the cruel northern winds, creating a secluded corner hidden from the outside world. On the shores of the lake, the vegetation is richer and more lush than in the neighboring tundra - instead of birch crooked forests, spiky centuries-old spruces grow, there are thickets of blueberries and cloudberries.

The Saami are afraid of this place and worship it. A hundred years ago, mountains of deer antlers lay around the lake, and it was allowed to fish in it only one day a year. In the old days, Sami men performed special rituals - they put deer horns on their heads and depicted fights for females. Shamans came here to die.

On the banks of the Seydozero, the Sami placed sacrificial stones and houris (stone pyramids that served as pointers and amulets). At almost every step there are seids - prehistoric stone structures.

The Saami visit the sacred lake only in extreme cases. Finding a guide here among the locals is almost impossible. The descendants of ancient reindeer herders, once on the lake, make an offering to the ancient spirit in order to be healthy and successful in business.

According to legend, the sorcerer Kuyva, immured in a mountain above the lake, does not like to be disturbed. Punishment awaits those who disturb his peace. By this, local residents explain the cases of strange deaths of people who tried to conquer Mount Kuyvchorr, on which the image of Kuyva is located. Moreover, these were experienced people - experienced climbers or researchers who climbed higher and more difficult rocks, and got out of various difficult situations. Often they were found without any clothes, and on their faces there was an expression of wild horror. The mystery of these events has never been solved.

A sad fate awaited many researchers who tried to guess the secrets of Seidozero. During such expeditions, nature and something else unknown brought down all their forces on the unfortunate. Suddenly there was a hurricane wind, the roads were washed away by many days of rain, the engines stalled, and high waves overturned the pathfinders' boats. People succumbed to inexplicable fear and fled. And each time, everything suddenly stopped when the researchers retreated from their plan. Their troubles did not end there - upon returning home, the expedition members died a strange death, or died, taking with them to the grave what they still managed to find out in the distant northern region.

It often happened that in the region of the mountain, on the slope of which the evil Kuyva was petrified, the measuring instruments showed something unimaginable, and often simply failed. At this point the compasses "went off
mind”, devices measuring the level of radiation went off scale. People who were in close proximity to this rock for a long time came back in a “zombie” state or in a strong fright. Those who did not heed the Saami's warnings not to disturb the ancient spirit experienced dizziness, weakness, and hallucinations. People had the feeling that their weight changed dramatically - decreased or increased. "Merechenye" ​​is another effect that arose in the minds of people who disturbed the "old man". This state is commonly understood as mass hypnosis. In it, people simultaneously repeated each other's movements, spoke in incomprehensible languages, prophesied.

Those travelers who respect the old sorcerer Kuyva and the sacred lake are treated favorably by nature. The shores of Seydozero appear before them as an oasis among the endless tundra. Kuiva is not only evil. For those who treat him with respect, he helps to find a way through windbreaks, sends a fair wind, gives good fishing and successful hunting.

The legend of the sorcerer

The Saami have many legends about Seydozero. One of them says that a long time ago strangers came here and began to kill and rob the Sami. And although the Saami never fought with anyone, so as not to be completely exterminated, they got together and decided to repulse the enemy. But among the strangers there was a strong sorcerer Kuyva, who killed ten people with one blow. The Sami saw this and, gathering their strength, surrounded the sorcerer from all sides. He is there, here - neither to go down to Seydozero, nor to go into the tundra. So he froze on a rock that hangs over the lake.

MYSTERY OF THE KOLA PENINSULA

Barchenko's secret expedition

In the 1920s, the idea of ​​sending a search expedition to the Murmansk region was personally supported by Felix Dzerzhinsky. Now it is difficult to establish what goals were set for the expedition. It is unlikely that only scientific - in later times, large reserves of rare earth elements were discovered here. In 1922, a group led by Barchenko and Kondiaina went to the Seidozero and Lovozero region of the Murmansk region. After returning to Moscow, the materials of the expedition were carefully studied at the Lubyanka. Barchenko was repressed and shot; the data he obtained was never published. It is known that the search engines stumbled upon a strange manhole that goes underground. The scientists failed to penetrate inside - an unaccountable fear interfered, an almost tangible horror literally rushing from the dungeon. One of the locals said that "the feeling was like being skinned alive!"

A victim of a nuclear explosion?!

75 years later, in the footsteps of Barchenko, expeditions led by Valery Demin "Hyperborea-97" and "Hyperborea-98" set off. One of the participants, Vadim Chernobrov, on the banks of the Seydozero, made an entry in his expedition diary: “You are taken aback when you imagine that you are in your hometown in 20 millennia. It doesn’t matter which city, in millennia they will all look the same. through the centuries, what can we say about millennia? .. In the meantime, I myself look with sorrow at the great city of the greatest people of the distant past. In front of me is a mosquito-infested swamp "... The first find of the expedition is a huge cubic stone. After another couple of kilometers of the way, on the left on the rock - a seventy-meter image of a seemingly crucified man. It is very similar to the shadow that remains from a person after a NUCLEAR EXPLOSION.

Entrance to the afterlife

Near the forest where Barchenko’s expedition was driven out by fear, Vadim wrote: “No one knows whether this cave is Hyperborean or not, but in the 1990s, Doctor of Sciences Valery Nikitich Demin drew attention to the meager memories that have come down to us about Barchenko’s finds, and when studied the local legends in detail and compared them with the Greek ones, then I decided to look for it here! Local residents of Seydozero cause awe. A century or two ago, its southern shore was the most honorable place of burial in a stone grave of shamans and other respected members of the Sami people. For them the name of Seidozero and the afterlife were synonymous. In Soviet times, reserves of rare earth metals were discovered north of the lake. Now Seidozero and Lovozero are famous for the manifestation of various anomalous phenomena "...

Ancient finds. More questions than answers...

The scary dungeon is an interesting object for researchers, but I still want to ask Vadim about the main goal - Hyperborea. It turns out that there are finds, but there is no unambiguous interpretation of them yet. During the expeditions "Hyperborea-97" and "Hyperborea-98" several destroyed ancient buildings were discovered. It is still difficult to talk about their dating or belonging to Hyperborea. This is a stone "observatory" on Mount Ninchurt, stone "road", "stairs", "Etruscan anchor", a well under the mountain Kuamdespahk. What can be seen only resembles structures. But, as Vadim noted, it is impossible to imagine what will remain, say, from the Bolshoi Theater in 20 thousand years. Another find is strange metal nesting dolls found in the Chivruay gorge. What is their age? Unknown. In addition, ancient images of the "trident" and "lotus" were found. Maybe these symbols are inherent in any intelligent civilization? No answer. The giant rock cruciform image of a man known to local old-timers - "Old Man Koivu", as he is called here, remains a mystery. According to the legends, this is an "alien" Swedish god defeated and walled up in a rock south of Karnasurta. It would seem that the Swedish deities are already phenomena of our last civilization on Earth. However, the "old man Koivu" turned out to be formed from banal blackened stones, over which water has been oozing from the rock for centuries. With other findings, too, it was not so simple. Professional geologists and archaeologists are skeptical about the listed finds, considering them to be a play of nature, Saami structures dating back up to several centuries, or the remains of geologists' activities.

Orbital satellite... ice age?

Murmansk region. The legendary Hyperborea - the ancestral home of earthly civilization - not only actually existed, but was also located in the mountains of Russian Lapland, beyond the Arctic Circle. Such a sensational conclusion was reached by the participants of the scientific exploratory expedition led by Valery Demin, Doctor of Philosophy from Moscow State University. The findings of scientists are truly stunning. In the remote Lovozero tundra, near the mysterious Seydozero, cyclopean ruins and walls, giant slabs of regular geometric shape with technogenic cuts, drilled blocks, a ritual well, mysterious signs and writings were found. And finally, the most impressive find - the remains of an ancient observatory with a 15-meter chute extending into the sky, with two viewfinders - below and above. As Valery Demin said, it can be compared with Ulugbek's observatory. These and other finds, the members of the expedition believe, testify that a highly developed civilization once flourished here, and the climate in the distant past on the Kola land was comparable to the current Mediterranean. So, is Hyperborea just a legend? But there is another proof of the existence of a highly developed ancient polar civilization! Seven years before Magellan's first circumnavigation of the world, the Turk Piri REIS compiled a map of the world, on which not only America and the Strait of Magellan were marked, but also Antarctica, which Russian navigators were to discover only ... 300 years later! The coastline and some details of the relief are presented on it with such accuracy, which can only be achieved with aerial photography, and even shooting from space! Moreover, Antarctica on the Reis map is devoid of ice cover, has rivers and mountains. Adjusted distances between continents to confirm they are drifting. An entry in Reis's diaries says that he compiled a map based on materials from the era of Alexander the Great. How did they know about Antarctica in the 4th century BC? e.? In the 1970s, a Soviet Antarctic expedition determined that the Antarctic ice sheet was at least 20,000 years old. This means that the age of the real primary source of information is at least 200 centuries! The Hyperboreans lived at the pole, only not at the south, but at the north. Both poles were ice-free at the time. The ability to fly made it possible to fly from pole to pole. Perhaps this explains the mystery of why the original map was drawn up as if the observer were in Earth's orbit.

Doctor of Sciences V. Demin believes that the highly developed civilization of Hyperborea, which died as a result of a climatic cataclysm, left behind descendants in the person of the Aryans, and those, in turn, the Slavs and Russians "...

Phallic megalith and Delphic Omphal found on Yudychevumchorr

Legends about the era when the Hyperborean civilization flourished in the North have saved many peoples. Using them, one can restore the secret geography of these lands. Already in the names of North, Siberia there is the root "siv-Sib", apparently ascending to the name of the GOD SIV (SHIVA), god-destroyer, god-watcher, his character fully corresponds to the harsh spirit of these lands. In the northern names there are also roots with a solar meaning. The SOLAR root "KOLO" is in the name of the Kola Peninsula. Karelia, the Kara Sea contains the root "KAR-KARS" (God of the SUN KHORS, aka KORS). The names of many peoples have a Vedic meaning. "SAAMS" is consonant with SOMA, the names of the Nenets clans "VAYANOV" and "YAROV" can be compared with the names of the Slavic clans "VANOV" and "BELOYAROV". The name of Mount Ninchurt resembles the name of the Slavic-Vedic goddess NENIL, the wife of VELES. NENILA, according to the Star Book of Kolyada, bears the name Zvesdinka (Asya), she is the daughter of SVYATOGOR. The ancient Sumerians called NENILA INANNA, the Akkadians called NANAYA ISHTAR, which they identified with ASTARTA. The root of the name ASTARTA is included in the words "astro" -, "astrology" (the connection of the image of this goddess with astrology largely explains the presence of an ancient observatory on the top of Mount Ninchurt). The ancient Armenians called the same goddess the goddess NANE, which means "grandmother".
In the ancient kingdoms of the East, which inherited the Vedic culture, whose roots go to the north, the god NINURTA was also revered (a complete coincidence with Mount Ninchurt). This God is the male hypostasis of INNANA. The ancient Sumerians also called it SATARAN (nearby we find the SEID lake). The root "SAT", "SET", "SID" in ancient and many modern languages ​​has the meaning of HOLY (Santa). In India, SIDDHI, among the Celts, SIDD - magical peoples living on the northern blissful islands. SEID-lake in Sami "Holy lake". In the Slavic-Vedic tradition, SED is one of the names of the god ROD, meaning "gray", "holy". The Seda Star is the Polar Star, it is also called SEDAVA-zorya, SED-zorya, SEID-zorya (zorya - in ancient Russian means a star). According to the old transcription - "SIAD - ZOR". And at night, Veles walked in Svarga through the milk of Heaven and went to the Sedava-star to the gates (IRIYA) "(Book of Veles) - Veles walks along the Sky along the Milky Way to the Polar Star. He also goes along the earth to the North, to the earthly reflection of SEYD - dawns. The reflection of heavenly IRIYA on earth is Mount NINCHUG AND SEYDOZERSKOE Sanctuary ....

The star is an ancient Karelian symbol. As recent studies show, the five-pointed star has been familiar in the culture of the peoples of the North since ancient times. For example, among the Saami of Russian Lapland, the five-pointed star was considered a universal amulet protecting deer - the basis of the lifestyle of most northerners. In North Karelia, the fact of honoring the five-pointed star by Karelian hunters is attested. Having stumbled upon a bear in the winter forest, the hunter quickly drew three five-pointed stars in a row on the snow and retreated behind them. It was believed that the bear would not cross this line.”
Among the Karelians, the star was depicted on pieces of leather. It was a talisman.
Even the ancient Pythagoreans, who believed that the world is based on a number, made a discovery: the proportions of a five-pointed star are based on the principle of extraordinary attractiveness to the eye. This was later called the "golden section".
Some scholars believe that Europeans borrowed this symbol from the cultures of Ancient Egypt, China and the Islamic world. In general, any image of a star is one of the oldest symbols of mankind, adopted in the heraldry of all peoples. The star as a concept initially served as a symbol of eternity, later it became a symbol of high aspirations and ideals. It is also used in our time as an emblem of guiding (the so-called "Rose of the Winds"), happiness ("to be born under a lucky star").
Stars in heraldry and emblems differ both in the number of rays forming them and in color. The combination of both gives different semantic and national meanings for each star. The five-pointed star (pentagram; a star turned with its “head”, i.e. one of the rays up) is the oldest symbol of protection, protection, and security. It is of oriental origin. And vice versa, a five-pointed star, turned with one beam down and two up, acquires an ominous, bad meaning - in Western Europe, for example, from ancient times it was customary to consider this inverted star as a sign of the devil. The fact is that in Western European magical tracts, the pentagram was also revered as a figure depicting the human body: two legs are a symbol of earth and water, two hands are a symbol of air and fire, and the head (one ray looking up) is the force of ether that unites all members.
