Where did the Turkish land come from?

Recently, a lot of people began to study issues related to the true history of Russia, to reconstruct the distorted events of antiquity, to try to understand the true cause-and-effect relationships of certain events in the past. The central theme was directly the mysterious Tartary itself, which emerged from the oblivion of time on many ancient maps. Researchers have repeatedly tried to understand this issue - where did this huge power come from on medieval, and not so medieval, maps, which replaced the Russian Empire on the maps we are used to. A lot of wonderful projects have already been created about the history of Tartaria, there was not a single person thinking who at least once would not come across articles, videos on this topic. In conjunction with Tartary, alternative historians and amateur researchers also pay attention to Europe and the falsity of its history. Almost equally, some of them refer to the East, describing the military and political affairs of Tartaria in Asia, and in particular with China. India and, in part, Persia do not remain deprived of attention. But with the Ottoman Empire, things are different. Although it is mentioned by many researchers, and attention was also paid to it, at the moment there is still no coherent concept of its history and role in that ancient world, where Tartary was once the political hegemon. Yes, information was repeatedly sounded that this empire was called the Ataman, for it was originally ruled by the Cossack Horde atamans, who took the once unbelted power of Byzantium into their own hands and approved military rule. Basically, from these times (12-15 centuries), the description of the Ottoman Empire by many authors begins. However, its past is no less interesting and entertaining than other regions that were once politically under the auspices of Tartary. In this article, I want to get closer to explaining and clarifying the history and antiquity of these lands.

The problematic of this issue first alarmed me when I could not find almost a single ancient map where the name of the lands I was considering would be mentioned, as the Ottoman Empire itself (of course, some of the readers will immediately object, they say, I was looking badly, or that it was my the power was called directly by the Ottomans themselves, and the Europeans used their familiar names). However, the fact remains - on most maps of the 16-19 centuries on the site of the well-known Ottoman Empire, most often Turkey (Turkey) or Asian Turkey and Turkey European (Turkey European, Turkey Asiatic) are located, a little less often - the Turkish Empire (Turcici imperii), on On a number of maps, it is simply signed by Anatolia (Natolia, Anatolia), even more rarely and in earlier periods, Cappadocia is found. Alas, the old Turkish cards themselves cannot be read by those who are not familiar with the Arabic script, and the new ones (after 1923) naturally already show the Republic of Turkey.

The second thing that pushed me for a long time to cover the topic of the Ottoman Empire was the slight neglect of those alternative researchers who, in their studies of Central Asia and Tartaria, use and refer to the images of the busts of the Horde khans located in the Turkish city of Shogut. Basically, these images are referenced, indicating that those khans were representatives of the Caucasian race, that is, the same Rusic-Aryan-Slavs (whatever, the terminology of these three words is rather complicated and requires a separate article in order to completely decompose all the meanings of the data words), as we do. However, sometimes some people try to cite these images in order to indicate the fantastic life expectancy of those rulers by our standards. For example, the bust of Khan Batu (Batu han) bears the signature 1227-1502, and many say with confidence that these are the years of this Khan's life. But if we have already decided to restore the true history of the world, then we still should not neglect something in order to adjust it to our conclusions. For on the bust they stand at all for the years of Batu's life, and the years of existence of such a state formation, known to historians as the Golden Horde, for Altınordu Devleti just means - the state of the Golden Horde.

And here we come to a very important issue - the question of understanding the word "devlet" (devlet), which was called both the Golden Horde and the Ottoman Empire by the Ottomans themselves. Today we are translating the Turkish phrase Osman devleti, as the Ottoman Empire, which is fundamentally wrong. For it was not an empire. Just like the Golden Horde was not it. The empire in the modern concept of this word was Tartary itself, which, however, raises doubts (despite the beliefs of some researchers about the origin of the word "empire" from "created by the name of Perun"). But we all perfectly understand that in the Russian-Aryan terminology there was that capacious word that meant both the modern state and the empire, but also the concept opposite to them. I'm talking about the term "power", which is closely related to such a concept as "autocracy." The original meaning of the word "autocracy" says that this is the process of keeping someone or something of himself without outside help. So in the political aspect, it was a kind of political system in which each clan could contain itself within its own clan. Each clan was self-sufficient, while the heads of such clans, rich in the original concept of this word clans, were called radans, or autocrats and were elected by princes and kings on the hunt. This is the original meaning of autocracy, and therefore the political form of government was autocracy. I think that the readers of this article are people already informed in this topic and it makes no sense to explain why the heads of the strong (able to sustain themselves) clans were considered capable and worthy to rule the entire state.

So, it becomes clear that the term "power" of Tartary was more inherent than "empire", if, of course, take into account the fact that its population was Aryan and followed the ancient Aryan political foundations. Let's return to the Golden Horde and the Ottoman Empire. Both the one and the other in the Turkic language were called devlet. So, the concept of the word devlet can only be partially translated from Turkish as "empire". For this concept in their Horde language there is a more suitable word - imparatorluk, which by the way names the empire of Babur Shah (Babür İmparatorluğu), the Empire of Timur (Büyük Timur İmparatorluğu) and the Empire of Heavenly Türks (Göktürk İmparatorluğu) (by the way were those armies of Tartary that fought in the 3rd-6th centuries AD with the Celestial Empire and were called Dinlins, Zhuzhzhani and Xiongnu, as well as tyuku and tele). So, we clearly see that in the Horde language the concepts of devlet and imparatorluk are completely different. So the Golden Horde and the Ottoman Empire were actually devlets, which is closest to the Slavic, and even the Aryan, concept of power.

What we have at the moment. On European maps of the Middle Ages and later, we see a certain political entity called the Turkish Empire or simply Turkey. The Turks themselves now call it the Ottoman Empire. The version that says that the Ottomans were originally atamans of individual Cossack hordes who lived in these territories and who created a kind of military coup in Byzantium of that time looks quite logical. This was done in 1453 by a certain Mehmed nicknamed Fatih (conqueror) (it is possible that the medieval Jesuits also wrote part of the image of the book Muhammad from him, similar to how they combined in the canonical Jesus both the Jewish prophet Yeshua and the Ruskolan prince Bus Beloyar, crucified on the banks of the Dnieper, and who lived in the 11th century in still Byzantine Constantinople, Radomir, either a priest or a ruler, crucified in the same notorious Constantinople-Istanbul). Then Islam was apparently not yet the main religion, although it spread quite actively in the south of the Arabs. It is quite possible that even during the time of Suleiman the Magnificent (a contemporary of Ivan the Terrible), the religious issue in his state was similar to the one that arose in Muscovy - the Vedic worldview began to be supplanted and mixed with Islam in the first case and with orthodoxy in the second. This process was finally completed after the death of Suleiman and Ivan in both kingdoms. At the same time, Muscovy broke away from Tartary (late 15th - early 16th centuries), and Turkey (we will return to the true name of this power below) ceased to be an ally of the Aryan empire. So in Muscovy there was a turmoil, and in Turkey the son of Suleiman Selim came to power, who, in modern terms, simply drank everything that his father had made. Since then, the decline of the power of Turkey began. The wars of Turkey and Muscovy (in the future of the Russian Empire) before Suleiman and Ivan were infrequent and not so serious, but the subsequent ones all looked like a kind of division of land and the right to be a hegemon in the Black Sea. So began their football match in Crimea, which lasted until the middle of the 19th century, when the Crimean War finally dotted the İ. By the way, before the strengthening of these powers, Crimea was always an independent administrative unit in Tartary and was called in the Middle Ages Little Tartary, and before that - Tavrida. And this name, by the way, will come up in our further study of this region.

For now, let's get back to Turkey. So, we see a coherent picture, which now explains the causal relationship of historical events in Asia Minor after the 13th century. Centuries when Genghis Khan (Timchak, Presbyter John) restored the power of Tartary. For several centuries, the Ataman State, formed on the site of Byzantium, was loyal and allied to Tartaria, then, however, following the same path as Muscovy, which became the Russian Empire. However, it will be much more interesting to consider the times preceding the reign of Timchak and the formation of the above political units. The state of the Ottomans-Atamans really existed, however, this name was used only by themselves in relation to themselves, that is, it was the self-name of this country. Around, everyone knew them as the Turkish State, or Turkey-Turkey. And here we are faced with a linguistic fork. Firstly, it seems quite logical that the country conquered by the Turks was called Türkia (as it sounds to this day Türkiye). But secondly, if you dig a little deeper, it may become quite obvious that this area - Asia Minor, Anatolia - was called in a certain consonant way even in ancient times, including the Black Sea region. In addition, it is worth noting that neither the Turks nor the Turkic language ever existed: there were troops of Tartary and they spoke the military Horde language, which the Russian Cossacks knew until the 19th century, for it was the common Horde language, which was the state language along with Russian. (Prakrit, Aryan, Old Slovenian, Old Church Slavonic, Old Russian, if you like). This language was never the national language of the Turks, of whom never existed as a nationality. Even the modern concept of "Turkic" is extremely vague. Using the example of the same Crimean Tatars, we can see how representatives of three different races: Mongoloid (Nogailar, Nogais), Caucasoid (Tatlar, highlanders) and Mediterranean (Yalyboil, Southerners) - all consider themselves Crimean Tatars are simply Krymchaks - qırımlı-kyrymly), Turks, although they are not just representatives of different peoples, but in general, fundamentally different races. It is important to understand - the Turkic, or Horde, language was the Aryan language, an artificially created language of communication of the military varna of the Aryan society. In some areas, it also became a spoken language, pushing the Russian (Aryan) language to the level of a priestly-spiritual language. So, admitted to the territory of Tartaria, some clans of the Dzungars (Arims, Chinais) and those who bred in Siberia began to speak the language of the Aryans and began to call themselves Shors, Khakass, Altai, at their place of residence. But this language was never their language, they were never a single ethnic group of the Turks. There was also no Türkic Kaganate - there was only temporary control of the army of Unns (Huns, Huns) in the southern, eastern and western regions of Tartary, where early Islam, early Christianity and Confucianism were actively spreading, respectively. So those troops of the Cossacks, led by their atamans, who appeared in Byzantium in the 13-15th centuries, could hardly call themselves Turks. But who really could call himself that, so these are the very ancestors of all modern inhabitants of the Crimea, which was previously called Tavrida.

And now a little linguistic digression. Let's think a little logically. Who called Crimea Tavria? That's right, the Greeks. What did that mean in Greek? Tauros, or tavros - bull, i.e. in the opinion of the Hellenes, the inhabitants of the Crimea called themselves bulls. And what will be the "bull" in the Old Slovenian and Old Russian languages? That's right - the tour. It turns out that the local population of the peninsula called themselves tours, and their land, according to the rules of word formation in Russian, was called Turia, or, more familiar to our ears, Turkia. So Tavrida and Turkia are one and the same. And I am not suggesting that Crimea should now be given to Turkey, not at all. I would even say the opposite. But let's dig even deeper and get away from the times of the migration of peoples (in the Slavic terminology of Busovoy time) and even from the times of antiquity (known in Slavic historiography as the Troyan Ages) and remember who inhabited all the southern Dnieper steppes, Crimea, the northern and even southern Caucasus, and at one time and the territory of Asia Minor. And those tribes were called Scythians. This is how we know them now. However, the word "Scythian" is also Greek or Greek-Latin reading (by the way, the latter now even become abusive, it is not surprising how many wars were lost by the Romans-Romans with the Scythians, and now the word "schifo-Scytho" in Italian means " terrible, disgusting, disgusting "). We know that in the Latin notation this word is written as Scythia, where the combination of letters "th" conveys the sound "f" dental, soft, in the Old Slovenian and Greek languages denoted by the letter "fita" or "theta". Therefore, it became possible to alternate sounds "t" and "f" in a number of languages. So Scythia can be read as both Sketia and Scufia. It is worth mentioning right away that such a name for the lands of the Scythians could have been entrenched due to the fact that it was in their country that there were a lot of cities at that time, for a skete, or a skuf, means nothing more than a "fenced settlement" (from the word "whale" - an armful of poles tied into a fence, which in turn comes from the word "cue", which originally meant one such wooden pole). So the word Scythia-Sketia can become akin to the Scandinavian word Gardarik, which also referred to the more northern regions of the settlement of the Scythian-Aryans. In other words, the Greeks called these lands Scythia, and the Scandinavians Gardarika. However, only a large number of cities and settlements of Scythia is not the only explanation for the origin of its name. According to another rule of charm, there is also a number of vowels alternating with each other: so in the southern dialects the sound "o" is replaced by "and" (this can be seen in the example of the Russian cat and the Ukrainian whale). So the southern Greek word Scythia in the northern pronunciation can sound like Scotia. And now we come to the most interesting thing that connects Taurida with Scythia. Cows and bulls are still called cattle in Russian, and the god who patronized them was Veles the cattle god. However, here it is worth making a reservation that he was not a cattle because he controlled cows, as the ancient worldview is now primitively interpreted, but because the bull was his totem animal, according to myths his mother was the Cow Zimun, and Veles turned into a bull, an ox. The ox is also one of the names of this totemic, sacred animal (which is such to this day in the Vedic tradition of India). "Volga" - "the way of the bull" we call the ancient Ra-river. And along its banks lived a Slavic tribe of Volgars, who became Bulgars-Bulgarians, and after Islamization - Tatars-Turks. Don - by the way, it was also one of the names of Veles, and connected the Don Volga and the Sea of Azov (the heroic Azovka, according to legend, was Veles's beloved). By the way, it is worth noting that the Wolf was another zoomorphic embodiment of the god Veles, and the words Veles, an ox, a wolf - were of one kind. From this, the wolf, or rather the bozkurt, the gray wolf, became the totemic beast of the southern Turks.

If we go a little further south, then we will meet the Cimmerian Bosphorus (now the Kerch Strait), separating Taurida from Taman (therefore, also ruled by elected atamans). Exactly the same Bosphorus is found in another part of the Black Sea, it is the Thracian Bosphorus, which now separates the Asian and European sides of Istanbul-Constantinople. We will return to Thrace later, but the Bosphorus requires clarification, because the word Bosphorus comes from the Greek bus poros, which means “the way of the bull”! For, according to ancient Greek legends, the god Zeus turned into a bull, kidnapped Princess Europa and sailed with her to the island in Meotida on his back (the Sea of Azov, by the way - “Meotida” means “something in between”), where he indulged in amorous pleasures with the girl. This is a myth, but in reality, the matter was that a certain trade route leading from the Mediterranean to Meotida was called “the path of the bull,” thereby bypassing both Bosphorus (both Thracian and Cimmerian), and from Meotida merchant ships could climb the Don to Volga, where their "bull's way", apparently, continued, and already somewhere on the banks of the Ra-river, closer to its mouth in the Caspian Sea (it is in ancient times, attention, Volyn lake! And the goddess Volyn was the female hypostasis of Veles and revered her in all Scythian lands, as evidenced by the Volynian tribe in western Ukraine, and the modern Volyn region in the same place) met with other great trade routes going in caravans stuffed with silk from Asia (or Asian Tartary, called Catay (Chinese) Tartaria, nothing in common with modern China). By the way, the words China, skete, whale and Scythia are also one of the names, the root of which has already been described earlier.

So, what do we have now: Taurida = Turkia (from the word "tur"), Scythia = Scotia (from the word "cattle"), Volga Bulgaria = Volgaria (from the word "ox"). Throughout the entire territory from the Carpathian Mountains to the Volga, as well as the entire Black Sea region, the same totem animal was revered - a bull, which is a zoomorphic embodiment of the god Veles. Those tribes had many self-names, but they were all connected with Veles in some way (even the part of the Scythian cattle migrated to the British Isles at the beginning of our era retained this name and called their lands Sctoland and the meadows of Veles Since ancient times, the bull-cow was treated as a sacred animal, and in the pantheon of Slavic gods even Cow Zimun is the mother of many old gods. As you know, the Scythians lived not only in the Northern Black Sea region, but also on the other side of the Black Sea - in the 7th century BC they descended through the Caucasus to the south and founded their kingdom among the Medes, Assyrians and Vans, calling it Ishkuza If we turn to the etymology of this word, and, knowing the rules of language charm, replace the sounds "sh" with "s" (like in the words Saturday and Shabbat), and the voiced "z" with a muffled "t", then Iskuta will come out, and because since Modern Turks still consider themselves the descendants of the Iskitler, and their kingdom is called İskit Devleti (again this is the concept of devlet-power). However, the Scythians did not stay in Asia Minor for a long time, and after the sad war with the Medes, led by Cyaxar, they, led by their queen Zarina (the wife of the murdered king Madia), returned to her hometown of Roxanak in the north. And here we come to another interesting ramification in the name of the Scythian cattle. For, according to Herodotus, their self-designation was "chipped", which could refer to the cohesion, unity, integrity of these tribes, or tribal union, but also to the solar worldview (and among their kings there were often those who bore the name of Cola or Kolaksay). "Fair-haired" in its original meaning also meant "pure, bright, illuminated", therefore, fair-haired could be called not only fair-haired, but also fair-skinned, light-haired, in a word - people who preserved the Aryan genetics. But they revered these fair-haired chipped sun-colo and were reputed in myths as real wizards, wolves, who know how to turn around as wolves, and who also revered the sacred ox as a symbol of the god Vol-wasp, and they wore long wolves and have always been a volitional people. And scolotos is just a different word pronounced in the Greek manner, in which the ancient Greek suffix of belonging to something "-otos" replaced the Slavic suffix carrying the same semantic load - "-ov". So, the ancient Greek scolotos, it becomes quite understandable Old Slovenian "chips, falcons". Well, needless to say that the falcon was a solar bird (according to the rules of charm, “stake” can also be read as “chorus, mountains” (which is why there are already many branches of words, such as horn (where the sun rises) and horizon (where it sets), and in reading in two rows the Egyptian falcon god "Horus", or the Cossack "Khors", becomes "horn", preserved in the West Slavic languages with the additional root "ra" (I think it is not worth explaining) as the word "rarog, rereg, perekh, Rurik "- meaning" falcon "), and he was an ornithomorphic representation of Dazhdbog Tarkh, who by the way also turned into a calf. That is why the words Tarkh, Tur, Tor, and even Taurus are all the words of the same edition. the fact that the Tarkh rune is very much reminiscent of the "Chinese character" Tian, which means "sky".

Namely, the Heavenly Father, the god of heaven among the "ancient Turks" was the god Tangri, or Tengri, whom the Chuvash still call Tura. Hence the ancient pagan religion of the Turks, called tengricilik in Turkey. Let's return to the queen Zarina, who took the Scythians-cattle-skolots-falcons-falconians-Sklavans-Slavs (in the end) to the north to Roksanak, and so she took them home, to the land of fair-haired falcons, to Rus Sokolyanskaya - Ruskolan. Hence it is possible to put a sign of identity between Scythia and Ruskolan. Where two thousand years later, already in the 16th century A. D. was by birth the wife of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and her name was Roksolana.

Now you can put together a kind of holistic picture and summarize all of the above:

- in the 7th century BC in Asia Minor, Anatolia, tribes of skolots-falcons appeared, who came from the Dnieper and from the Crimea;

- they revered the bull as a symbol of the gods Veles and Tarkh Dazhdbog, for the cow was the breadwinner of those tribes. And to this day, the national symbol of Turkey is the horns of the bull, flaunting on their coat of arms and in an inverted form on the flag (only the energy of the god Veles is blocked on the flag and coat of arms with an inverted pentagram - this is the modern "scarlet banner" (al bayrak) with the image of a crescent and a star);

- the supreme god in their pantheon was Tengri-Tarkh, the heavenly god and the sun god;

- having fought in Asia Minor, the cleaved returned to the north; it is worth noting that by that time anti-Tartarist sentiments had already begun to take shape in Asia Minor and Asia Minor, therefore the arrival of the Scolots can be viewed as an attempt by the metropolis to settle the conflict (the southern lands were torn to pieces, Assyria was split and its territories were divided between the kingdoms that were part of it, became independent). Not the least role in that split was played by the Jews who had already settled down in Western Asia, who had returned from the Sinai tour. Yes, and representatives of non-Aryan origin came to power in many regions (as it happened in Persia), which served as a split. Apparently then the cleavers failed to resolve the conflict, and they had to retreat back beyond the Caucasus.

- the next time Tartary sent the Horde troops from the east, and it happened under the name "migration of peoples", "Hunnic invasion", "Turkic kaganate". At that time, it was already necessary to suppress the threat of a growing split in Ruskolani itself (the western province of Tartaria). In the 2-4 centuries. Ruskolan nevertheless united under itself almost all of the Black Sea region (after all, Constantine also made the ancient city of the Hittites his capital on the advice of the Ruskolan, that is, the Saka, Scythian king Bus Beloyar,and with his help he ascended the throne of the split Roman Empire and headed the eastern part of it, the former ally of Ruskolani), Persia was also subordinate to Ruskolani-Scythia. A couple of centuries later, Islam began to penetrate here and the Turks-Horde-Scythians again restored order in Asia Minor. However, Islam managed to penetrate into the lands of the Volgars-Bulgars (future Kazan Tatars). Christianity advanced no less aggressively from the west, and Byzantium ceased to be an allied Tartary. The people who inhabited Byzantium were no different from those who lived in the north of the Black Sea region. The only difference was political division.

- The last major campaign of the Tartar troops in these lands was the so-called. "Conquest" of Genghis Khan (Timchak, Ivan). Then the Horde atamans came to power in Byzantium, and these lands again became allied with Tartaria. However, this did not last long, and after the death of Suleiman, Turkey again withdrew from the union.

So where did the name Turkey come from? Of course, some of the Skolot-Scythian tribes could have brought it with them, for example, the tours from Tavrida-Turkia, back in the 9-7 centuries. BC. It could have been the Unn hordes who worshiped the Tur and the god Tarkh-Tengri in the 3-5 centuries. AD It is less likely that only in the 15th century the Ottoman-Ataman conquerors remembered their ancient totem. And we cannot be sure that before the Ottomans-Atamans, who established a state in these lands, the toponym Turkia was not used, say, during the time of Byzantium. All the same, the Ottomans called their state the ataman, but their neighbors, the Europeans, and the Slavs, from old memory, called these lands Turkey or the Turkish empires. Yes, and Byzantium did not arise from scratch. Politically, she was the successor to the Eastern Roman Empire, the Roman Empire, the Empire of Alexander the Great, the Persian Empire, and even earlier the Assyrian Empire. But the toponym Turkia still survived and came from more ancient times. And now it's time to return to the Thracian Bosphorus. It became Thracian already in modern pronunciation, like Scythia-Sketia and Athens-Atin, but it was always exactly Thracian, for the territories of the modern Balkans were called Thracian, and the tribes that lived there were called Thracians. These lands have always been part of the Ottoman Empire, and before Byzantium, which most likely were never called neither the first nor the second name. The Ottoman power also belonged to the Crimea, it is also Taurida, and in Russian, as we have established - Turkia.

So, to the north - Turkia-Tavrida, in the west - Trakiya-Thrace, and what happened in the south, in Asia Minor itself? And after all there was once destroyed in the 13th century. BC. the city of Troy! Troika, Trinity - and she had "colonies" all over the Black Sea region, because too many names with a similar root survived in this area - there was even the city of Trinity on the Taman Peninsula, and the Trojan War could actually cover much larger territories than just some city-state on the shores of the Aegean, White Sea (Ak deniz in Turkish). Troy fell, but its "colonies" -land survived, as the Trojan people who lived there survived, as the name for these lands was preserved - Turkey-Trinity, or Turkia-Troika (Türkiye), Trakia (Thrakia) and Taurida-Turkia -Torkia. The legendary castle was laid as early as 3 thousand BC. and he shared those lands with the Hatts (ancestors of the Hittites) who still lived in Asia Minor. These same Hutts, or atty-antes (not quite relatives of medieval ants) had their capital in the ancient city of Constantinople on the shores of the Sea of Marmara. In full reading, the name of these atta-ants sounded like "Anatols, Alatins", from which the name of this area came, the most ancient of its names - Anatolia. Immediately I remember the Altyn kingdom from Russian fairy tales, and the queen Film and her husband, the king of Alatynia Svyatogor. They also appeared to us in Greek myths as the titan Atlas and his wife Pleion. I hasten to note that I do not deny the existence of 13 thousand people.years ago, Atlantis, or, as it is also called, Antlani, on the mainland in the Atlantic Ocean, just as I do not deny that the surviving Atlanteans-Altyns-Anatolians-Anta-Attas-Hatts could have their colonies on the shores of the then Mediterranean lakes and Lake Triton (Sea of Marmara), or just some of the surviving Atlanteans ended up not only on the American continent or in Egypt, but also in lands, which will later retain the names of their first Atlantean-Anatolian settlers for centuries. When the Trojans devoured the Hutts, all these lands began to be called Troy-Trinity. However, it is worth noting that the first king of Troy was Dardanus, who was born in Samothrace (an island in the Aegean Sea, off the coast of Trakia). In honor of him, by the way, the second strait (Dardanelles) of the Sea of Marmara was named, connecting it with the Mediterranean. This Dardanus was the son of Electra and the grandson of Atlant, king of Atlantis. Here is such a mythological genealogy, and if you do not consider it a reliable pedigree of the kings of antiquity, then the conclusion can be made from it unequivocally - the Trojans in the ancient world were considered the descendants of the Atlanteans, as well as the ancestors of the Etruscans, who called themselves, for a minute, Rassens, and the king of these Rassens was Aeneas (the hero of the legendary Aeneid), he is also Venus (hence the Wends with their Venice, Veins, and vandals). And they had the most direct succession. The capital of this, let's call it Eastern, Atlantis, the legendary antediluvian Constantinople Svyatogora was located on the site of the modern city of Istanbul, which until recently retained its ancient name.
