Floods and mountaintop castles - is there a relationship?

Rarely will you find a person who will be left indifferent by the beautiful view of the castle on the top of a mountain or rock.. Proudly towering above the mortality of earthly existence, this landscape gives rise to wonderful, sublime feelings in the soul, and someone awakens memories of past lives (or it seems to him:-)) as he, being a brave knight in armor, repels the attacks of the enemy, or one stops a whole detachment of the enemy on one of the narrow streets of the fortress, where two cannot miss each other.

But when it comes to practical application and maintenance, moments may arise that completely knock out all the romance and lofty feelings, and instead of past lives, with light sadness, a deceased life will dream - being in an ordinary Khrushchev or other high-rise building, with light, gas, a bathroom and a supermarket nearby, and an elevator, again..

What such a whim attacked the rich and powerful rulers that they began almost simultaneously here and there to build castles in hard-to-reach mountain areas, After all, to the castle on the top of the cliff - and even at the very top, where to climb without an elevator is a whole business, but if that to deliver something - so it becomes a real problem. First of all, water.

At the Hohenzoller castle

You need a lot of it all the time - to wash, cook, wash dishes, floors, water animals, etc. You need at least your own source, but how often do springs spout on the tops of rocks or mountains? Then - food, it also needs a lot - gentlemen and service personnel live in the castle, and also what kind of garrison, soldiers, warriors.

San Marino Castello / Italy

Pets, they need to be fed constantly, and this is hay for horses, etc. In general, the romance has diminished, let's go further, well, why should the ruler

such a castle with expensive maintenance, when the castle is on the plain, at the intersection of trade routes, could serve as an item of income and not expenses, as is the case with romance on the tops of the cliffs..

Well, you will say - this is a guard observation post, there was a military garrison in case the enemy troops advance. The ruler learned about this by means of a warning system (bonfires on the peaks, carrier pigeons, a messenger on a horse), and the garrison went out to meet the enemy in order to delay the enemy until the main forces approached.

But excuse me - if the castle is in the mountains, then why should the enemy's army go through the mountains in order to provide a service to the garrison? Moreover, the alleged enemy probably knows the location of the enemy's fortified points, and such a point as a castle was built for more than one day and a year - the grandfathers of the enemies knew about it. So why would the enemy go to shine directly under the telescopes of observers?

SAN MARINO, Italy

Well, if only they are too honest, go to fight with an open visor, or complete idiots. But neither one nor the other can serve as a clear explanation of the motive for the construction of such an expensive object. And its location on the top of a cliff, a mountain, doubles or triples the cost of such a castle, on the contrary, if it were built on a plain or a small hill. In addition, even a kindergartener and his classmates can block such a castle and take it under siege.

Just surrounded the mountain - and watch how the brave enemy tries to break through to bring food or water to the heroic defenders of the fortress … how he first rolls head over heels downward, disdaining sharp stones and a height of several hundred meters or more, and then rapidly climbs up with full bags of food and barrels with water..

And he’s not alone - there must be a whole detachment. In general, there are questions, there are many of them, and it’s not easy to find a clear 100% answer to them, if you do not take far-fetched versions. I got some version, first, I need to find out in what year these castles were built? Take some of the Cathar castles for example.

MONSEGUR CASTLE

According to the official version of history, the castle was destroyed in 1244 by stone-throwing machines, which threw huge cobblestones up to 200 meters (indicated where the machines were installed).

Well - well, "fresh food.." as they say.. But that's not the point, the Qatari castle was destroyed and destroyed by the fiends (but they took it more by starvation - by blockade), the question is when it was built. The exact date of construction, due to the exceptional time frame The age of the event, it is not possible to find - the data differ. But there is information about the Cathars as champions of the holy life, they considered themselves to be true followers of the Savior.

Montsegur, inside view

Perhaps because they sacredly followed his precepts, it is quite possible that they were warned of impending disasters, floods, etc. Then why not "Noah's Ark" castle on the mountain? True, at that time the fairy tale about Noah (Noah is the prototype of a character from more ancient sources), the storytellers who collected the "Old Testament" based on ancient epics and Vedic scriptures had not yet composed, it will be much later.

And if the Savior came in the 11th century, then, having heeded his teachings, the Cathars could well have built a castle at the end of the 11th and beginning of the 12th century, in order to reject this world and retire to meet the coming cataclysms with dignity.

PERPETUSA

An excellent view of the flood, which floods the area with a kilometer wave and leaves everything that is built in the lowland under a 5-8 meter layer of mud. Even if the wave catches a little, it’s not scary, it’s just the crest of the wave. The water will quickly come down, and the whole "nishtyak" will go to the lowland.

PUILORAN

The priests warned the rulers of impending catastrophes, and they were obliged to take some measures to save themselves and their families, as well as the immediate environment. Therefore, there should always be several such multifunctional fortresses in the state, and in our times this has not changed much. - everyone knows the government bunkers, for which there is always enough money, in contrast to the needs of the people. Since the ruler, like the criminal, has no nationality - one dough.

KERIBUS

In vain do you think the Cathars built all their castles on the tops of the rocks? I do not argue - one does not interfere with the other, this is both an excellent view of the surroundings, and a sentry post, but this is also one hundred percent salvation from global floods, which in the past happened more than once or twice!

Very relevant and timely there were comments from the comrade

NEUSCHWANSTEIN

CARCASSONNE

Therefore, they were all built for the future - let it be, you never know. And besides, there is information that some floods were arranged specifically to get rid of enemies who seized the earth, or threatening to do so. There were craftsmen in those glorious and harsh times, in the service of the rulers that hobbled with the forces of nature, caused hurricanes, tornadoes, floods.

PUIVER

There were alchemists, magicians, sorcerers, wizards. And the undead ran in the forests, there are a lot of fantasy films about the eerie Middle Ages on the net - and this is no accident, the memory of past lives reminds (or just seems) the top of a cliff, a mountain, and everyone began to build them at about the same time, I repeat.

They were built to rescue from a giant wave, which in past times more than once or twice served as the cause of the death of mankind, even locally, on a certain area of land, continent. In Europe, they stand thanks to the official version of the x / ztoria, but in our country

this was harshly demolished thanks, again, to the current version of the official x / ztoria.

Puyvert

It's the same in Mexico and South America - all over the world - people wanted not to drown and not be buried under a layer of mud several meters deep.

WHAT DO WE HAVE?

There is also - in the Urals, Siberia, the Far East is full of ruins on the tops of the mountains.

And here, in general, MEGA wall - Arakul Shikhan

TRUE OUR BUILDINGS AND ANCIENT EUROPEAN FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS

BECAUSE THE FOUNDATION IS DESTROYED AND AROUNDED OUT..

ALSO A GOOD PLACE FOR FORTRESS -

THE WHOLE DISTRICT IS ON THE PALM, YES AND THE FLOOD WON'T GET THERE
