Hillfort in Russia
Old Mound cutting - the largest city of ancient Russia (web online-translator)
Old cutting Mound is located 60 km from the modern Ryazan (formerly Pereyaslavl-Ryazan). The old name of the city cutting. Based on a detailed analysis of the history of the city, one can conclude that the official chronology of the city is not quite right, many facts contradict the official historians. According to different versions, the former capital of the land - old cutting was destroyed either during the invasion of Batu in 1237, or very desolate in XIV-XV centuries, whether it burned the Crimean Tatars in the XVI century. Versions of many, but let's face it.
The average person, even the diligent study of history in secondary schools are often not even aware of the fact that under the agreed version is the mass of facts and evidence, not laying down at one time or another mainstream. It is often contradict it.
History of Ryazan in general is known to all: in the XII century the city became the capital of the Ryazan principality, in December 1237 it was destroyed hordes of Batu Khan, and since then the city has not recovered, and a reminder of his fate are the remains of the giant trees.
Then the capital of the principality was moved to the city of Pereyaslavl-Ryazan, which is nearly 500 years after the pogrom of Batu by decree of Catherine II in 1778 was renamed to Ryazan.
Strictly speaking, the history of Ryazan until the mid XX century in Russia is seriously no one did that quite strange. Maybe this is due to the fact that we have not come to any written source of this "protogosudarstva" (chronicles, etc., that in general the country). One gets the impression that these written sources destroyed deliberately in order to hide the true story.
Anyway, undoubtedly perceived the destruction of the city by the Mongols in 1237 and the gradual remission of social life in this city over the next 100-150 years (the very Mongol invasion was seen after the first Russian historical research - Innocent Gizel German textbook "synopsis or brief description of the beginning Russian people ", composed in the second half of the XVII century and was first published in 1674 in the printing Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, a matter of course. By the way," Synopsis "in Russian history taught another 150 years after its first editions.
Almost the only written sources are the Annals (Lavrentevskaya, Hypation and Trinity). But Hypation Chronicle subjected to numerous editing, cleanup, followed by the imposition of another text.
According to archaeological data, life on the site of Old Ryazan after the fire, and mayhem are not renewed (except for a single local finds evidence at best of a point and short-term settlement of small areas of settlement). If you follow the canonical version of the story of what happened in 1237, we must admit:
1- written sources mislead us, calling Ryazan in XVI-XVII centuries inhabited the city.
2- If they are right, then the version of the destruction of the city by the Mongols in 1237 turns out to be untenable. Old cutting has not been destroyed by the Mongols, or at least, not in the XIII century.
To solve this dilemma, of course, the Russian historical science is not, as it may adversely affect its cornerstone - the notorious "Mongol" invasion.
So, in the end it turns out:
Old Burial cutting mound graves are characterized by the type and not the Slavs adopted Christianity.
Orientation buried under the north-east ... south-west of the same belongs to the Slavs "Gentiles" for so buried their dead another 40 000 years ago (Kostenki, Sungir etc.).
Buried in mass graves in the largely adult men and women, old people and children with signs of slashing weapons and arrows.
Found tips crossbow bolts. Crossbows Russian warriors in the Mongol-Tatar troops were not applied. You can not say about the Vikings. Found arrowheads attributed to the Mongols. However, according to the catalog of the Soviet scientist AF Medvedev, the Mongols used up to 60 different kinds of arrowheads that actually were walking from Korea to England
Evidence of the destruction of the city was also the Mongols were not found: no graves of the fallen soldiers of both the one and the other side was found.
There was no and no property stratification in the city - almost all lived in the same estates, an area of 300-500 square meters. The thesis of feudal relations in the pre-Mongol Russia does not hold water, I had to go to a completely absurd allegations - say, Ryazan nobles lived side by side with simple artisans and modest-sized backyard.
It was found an impressive number of caches and hoards of silver and gold, even things that are clearly hiding in a hurry. But if the people were going to die, but do not give up Batu, what's the point of hiding the treasure.
You can continue to add to the list of absurdities version Batu's invasion, but the given quite enough to understand - an absolute invasion of Batu doubtfulness and classification of this moment of history, myth, created probably in the late sixteenth early seventeenth centuries.
But let's look at the absurdities The given overall, tying everything into one 7 points. What can we say? This leads to a simple conclusion - old cutting was not the feudal, and the Vedic City, which was not and could not be, by definition, property stratification.
In the immediate vicinity of the settlement in the village of Staraya cutting Saviour Luke found ancient structure, similar in structure to the British "Hangen" and other kromleh. Its age is valued at 4'000 years. The building was erected on the earthen ramparts with wood. The basic version of the destination facilities - astronomical observation of seasonal variations of sunrise and sunset; ancient astronomers determined the equinoxes and solstices. Also, the construction might carry ritual function.
