Amazing map of Russia, Muscovy and Tartary

Traditional historians begin to get confused in the testimony when they see maps where Russia is called the Great Tartary, and its ruler is the emperor of the world. Where hordes (large military units) exist even centuries after the Tatar-Mongol yoke.

Anecdotal details in the description can be attributed to the imagination of travelers, but the map itself cannot be invented and drawn absolutely everything from scratch …

"Map of Russia, Muscovy and Tartary", compiled by Anthony Jenkinson, an Englishman, in London in 1562 and published from an engraving by Frans Hogenberg in Antwerp in 1570. The map is dedicated to His Grace Heinrich Sydney, ruler of Wales.

As you can see on this map, the entire territory of Russia is called "Tartary", and Russia and Muscovy are highlighted as administrative units within it.

Pay attention, in the upper left corner, the Emperor Ivan IV Vasilyevich (the Terrible) is captured, and under it there is an inscription: Ioannes Basilivs Magnus, Imperator Russie, Dux Moscovie - John Vasilevs the Great, Emperor of Russia and Prince of Moscow. In the second half of the 16th century, no one was called emperor in the world, except for the Russian tsar. There were kings, princes, kings, sultans, and the emperor was alone. So it was from the Byzantine Empire, "Vasileus" (Byzantine "emperor"), was considered the ruler of the world. However, the official history teaches us that the first Russian emperor was Peter I. This card debunks this statement and brings us closer to knowing the real history of our great country. And who, then, is buried in the Intercession Cathedral on Red Square: the unknown Vasily the Blessed or Vasilevs the Blessed (the Blessed Emperor).

Of extraordinary interest are the texts with explanations to various places and regions of the immense Tartary.

For example, there is an interesting text about the Golden Woman, the legends of which have survived to this day. Films were made on this topic during the Soviet era. This card depicts the Golden Woman as Raphael's Sistine Madonna. This image was taken by a map compiler who had never seen the actual statue. The text says that this extraordinary deity was the cult of the people of that area and gave answers to the questions that were asked to her.

In the upper right corner of the map, you can see a red banner and a drawing of people worshiping it. The commentary of the compiler of the map says that the people of this area (northern part of Siberia) worshiped the Sun, and used a red cloth as a symbol of the Sun. It is interesting that the modern word "red" consists of two parts "To RA", which means "to the Sun". At the same time, Ra is by no means the ancient Egyptian god of the sun, as the textbooks teach us, but the primordially Russian root meaning "sun, light, energy." Therefore, the red color, symbolizing the light of the sun, was applied to the flag to which they turned their prayers, that is, "to Ra". This combination has passed on to the name of this color. In the houses of residents of that time, the corner of the house, next to which there was a window facing the sun, was called the "red corner", that is, facing "Ra". This phrase was firmly entrenched in the Russian language, first denoting the corner with the images for prayer, by analogy with the corner where there was a window where people prayed to the sun, and later, in Soviet times, information centers where meetings could be held were called "red corners", and where the portraits of the leaders were necessarily present.

If we analyze this information, it turns out that in the pre-Christian era the cult of Ra was spread throughout the territory of Russia, and not only in the north of Siberia. Otherwise, all these roots and words would not have entered the common language and would not have survived to our days.

On this map, as well as on the map of Gessel Gerrits, there is a second, old name of the Volga River - Ra.

Other explanatory texts are also very interesting:

“These rocks have a human likeness, as well as a resemblance to camels and other animals, loaded with various loads; small livestock is also present there. Once upon a time, it was the Horde, whose representatives were engaged in cattle breeding, grazing small and large livestock; but at one point, by some kind of magic, they all turned into stone and became rocks, retaining the semblance of people and animals. This miraculous transformation took place 300 years ago."

“The distance from Mangyshlak to Shaisur is 20 days of travel on land devoid of water and deserted; the distance from Shaisur to Bukhara is the same; robberies often occur along the way."

“The people, called the Kirghiz, live in a crowd, representing the Horde. The priest of the Kirghiz during the divine service, taking blood, milk, droppings of pack animals and mixing all this with earth, fills a vessel with this composition and climbs a tree. When he gathers the tribesmen under the tree, he sprinkles them on top with this mixture. The sprinkling ritual has a sacred status. When any of the Kirghiz dies, they do not bury the deceased, but hang him on a tree."

"Little Khorsan, which is under the rule of the Persian kingdom, was captured in 1558 by the Tartars."

“Once Samarkand was the main city of all Tartary, but now the city is in ruins, having lost its former significance; however, there are enough antiquities left here. Here Temerlan is buried, who at one time captured the Turkish emperor Bayazit and in golden chains took him everywhere with him. The inhabitants of this city profess the Mohammedan faith."

“In 30 days' journey to Kashgar to the east, the borders of the Chinese Empire begin. It is three months' journey from the border of Kashgar to Kambalyk.

One must, however, understand that Anthony Jenkinson himself, the compiler of this map, was not in any of these places, and possibly in Russia in general - Tartary. And he made his map according to the descriptions that have come down to him from various travelers of that time.

You can buy this card in a collector's edition (with or without baguette, 5% discount on the Kramola code) in the "Success Card" store:

The maps made by us are indistinguishable from the original and are printed using n-offset technology. We use a unique technique of joining paper and backing, which allows us to do without glass. The expensive so-called "museum" paper we use allows us to see the depth of colors and to work with the map with measuring instruments.

We deliberately use the "light" baguette, despite the fact that it is more expensive than usual. Such a baguette will allow you to easily remove the map from the wall and work with it.
