The most striking event in the history of mankind is the Neolithic Revolution (Gordon Child), when as a result of the addition of the first science - religion, the ritual of sacrifice of the "drink of the gods", the cult of the tree of knowledge, there was a sharp rise in consciousness and intelligence, and civilization was created. To reconstruct the conditions of the Neolithic revolution, it is necessary to establish the place of its accomplishment and identify its geographical objects.

To solve this problem, the tools of science alone - history and its section of archeology - turned out to be insufficient. However, an integrative approach involving the tools of linguistics, geography and other sciences, based on the principle of scientific evidence, can achieve success. The theory of the Neolithic revolution should be supplemented by the theory of the monogenesis of languages (A. Trombetti, H. Pederson), which states that many peoples on the Eurasian continent originated from one "bush". In addition to the largest, Indo-European language family, there is also the Uralic, Altai, and others.

And even earlier, on the border of the Mesolithic and Neolithic, there was a single boreal, Nostratic macrofamily, a union of tribes living compactly, in the same territory, speaking closely related languages (Andreev N. D., 1986; Illich-Svitych V. M., 1971; Starostin S.. A, 2005-2007). The integration of these theories suggests that it was they who performed the miracle of the Neolithic revolution. That is why the heirs of their culture inhabited almost the entire earth. Based on the proximity of the first states with stone architecture: Sumerians, Urartu, Egypt, the place of the creation of civilization, the accomplishment of the Neolithic revolution, some researchers believe the interfluve of the region of Asia Minor.

However, this ignores data from the field of linguistics, archeology, biology, and other sciences. Information from ancient myths of different peoples is ignored. The Uralic language family, like the Altai, came out of the boreal, Nostratic macrofamily (Andreev N. D.), but they and their ancestors certainly did not live in Western Asia at the end of the Mesolithic and in the Neolithic. In addition, archaeological data are ignored. According to the Kurgan theory, the Indo-European language family was formed in the interfluve of the Volga and the Ural River, and this could not be far from the place of residence of the Nostratic macrofamily with its winter and mountain vocabulary (M. Gimbutas, 1956; F. Kortlandt, 2002).

The regions of addition of the Uralic, Altai and Indo-European language families that separated from the Nostratic, boreal macrofamily should converge in the projection of its place of residence. On the map, this place is projected onto the South Urals. The inventions of agriculture, animal husbandry, metallurgy, wheels, the domestication of the horse are the achievements of the Neolithic revolution. The first cultivated vegetable was turnip, known to the Egyptians, Phoenicians, ancient Greeks - endemic to the Urals and Siberia. The horse that was domesticated is an endemic animal of the Caspian and Ural steppes [1, p. 229-230]. The oldest chariot was found in the South Urals [2]. The dating of metallurgical slags found on Vera Island on Lake Turgoyak (Chelyabinsk Region, South Urals) refers to the Eneolithic period [3, p. 154-155; 4, p. 147-156]. In the South Urals, megalithic structures of the Mesolithic and Neolithic times have been found [5, p. 195-204] and discovered the existence of the highest ancient culture of the Bronze Age, armed with all the achievements of the Neolithic revolution and separated from the Borean community [6, p. 25-66].

The above points to the South Urals as the place of residence of the Nostratic macrofamily and the place where the Neolithic revolution took place. Finally, if we statistically compare the ratio of efforts and resources spent by archaeologists in searches for the site of the Neolithic revolution in Western Asia to the number of artifacts found and confirming this to the same ratio in the Urals, then the comparison results will clearly be in favor of the Ural hypothesis. The theory of monogenesis of ancient myths of different peoples should also be derived from the theory of monogenesis of languages. The myths about the "golden age" can be traced back to the time of the Neolithic revolution (Mircea Eliade, 1976). This should also include theogonic myths; myths about the primordial earth; about the "World Ocean"; myths about the "World Mountain", on which the Tree of Knowledge was granted; about the sacred sea-lake; about the "islands of the blessed."

The techniques of comparative mythology make it possible to single out the above-mentioned common elements of ancient myths and complement their descriptions with essential details. So, for example, the "World Ocean" in the primordial land, known from the myths of different peoples (Chang Shambhala is the original land, the "hidden kingdom of the north" of the Tibetans is located "beyond the Ocean"; "World Ocean" in the ancestral home of the Scandinavians, in the land of "frost giants" and others) is called a “river” in Greek myths [7, p. 23, 78]. Geographical descriptions of the "Ocean" river, along which there was an outlet to the ocean and which "flows around the whole earth" in the ancestral home of the Greeks in Hyperborea [7, p.31, 40, 43; 8, pp. 15-16, 19-20, 34-38, 134] suggest that the river "Ocean" was called the water area of the rivers "Volga" and "Ob", the upper reaches of which were placed on the "World (watershed) mountain" [8, With. 26-28, 124-125]. This is shown schematically on the ancient Greek coin "talent".

For example, in the Arab geographical tradition, the upper reaches of the Volga, the Ak Idel river, the White river (Belaya Volozhga, Belovodya) were placed only in the Urals [9, p.16, 92, 159]. On the map of G. Gerrits in 1614, the upper reaches of the Volga in the Southern Urals [7, p. 348]. The upper reaches of the Ob River were also considered in the Southern Urals, placing the source at Lake Teletskoye, it is also China Lake, Riphean Lake [7, p.215-217], also called Lukomorye. The arm of the Volga - Ob, with a drag on the World Mountain, the Greeks began to call the “Caspian (Girkan) Gulf of the Scythian (Kronid) Ocean [8, p.93, 226; 7, pp. 36-37, 43]. The Greeks themselves and medieval authors based on Greek sources did not get confused and confidently identified the Hyperborean (Ripean) mountains with the Ural mountains [8, p.226; 7, p. 38, 110, 188-189, 218]. That is why the Greek Gods and heroes of the primordial land were given the honorary epithet “Hyperborean”. For example: Hyperborean Hercules, Hyperborean Perseus, Hyperborean Prometheus, Hyperborean Apollo, Hyperborean Hermes, etc. The Hyperborean mountains from Greek sources also called the Ripean mountains. In Mahabharata, the eagle brought Soma from the top of Ripa. Ripa in Ukrainian is a turnip, endemic to the Urals and Siberia. In Egyptian mythology, the world mountain Taa Te Nen "rose from the Ocean."

In Scandinavian mythology, in the primordial land of “Great Svitod” [10, p.324], the first man Ymir was killed on the shore of the “Ocean”, fell into the “Ocean” and turned into a (world-wide) mountain. An analogy in Greek mythology is the myth of Perseus and the giant Atlanta, turned into a mountain in Hyperborea by the Ocean River. The world mountain in Chuvash mythology is Ama-tu (Egorov N. I., 1995). The foremother of the first emperor of Japan in Shintoism - Amaterasu [11] in the original land to the west of Japan. It can be assumed that the "islands of the blessed" were called the settlements of the Pra-Arkim type on the "Ocean" river and its tributaries at the end of the Mesolithic and in the Neolithic, built on a hill, on a bend of a river with a dug channel, surrounded by water on all sides. Holm means island in Swedish.

Isolation in ancient mythology from many other geographical objects of the original land of two - a world mountain and a sacred sea-lake and an indication that a world tree grows here, connecting the sky (spiritual world) and earth (material world) [7, p.78, 81-83] is no coincidence. It suggests that there were two religious and scientific centers that united the union of the tribes of the Nostratic community and initiated, thanks to the invention of the cult of the tree of knowledge, the Neolithic revolution. Using the techniques of comparative mythology, it is possible to accurately identify these objects of the primordial land of the Mesolithic and Neolithic times in the Southern Urals, complementing their descriptions with details from the myths of different peoples:

one. The mountain has three peaks (Mount Meru with three peaks; the Shan hieroglyph in China, as a symbol of the world mountain in the shape of a trident; a trident in the hand of Poseidon, the god of the Ocean from Hyperborea; a trident as a symbol of the world mountain on the coat of arms of Ukraine, etc.)

2. The slopes of Mount Meru "sparkle in the sun with gems." Mahabharata.

3. On the world Mount Aquilon [7, p.45], according to Greek mythology, there should be a wind pole "Boreas". Aquilon in translation should be understood as "the bosom of water" or "water bed". This is the designation for the transfer of boats.

4. Near the world mountain, at a distance of less than one day's journey, there is the sacred sea - a lake with unusually cold, clean and transparent water. For example: Lake Manas with the epithet Anavatapta, unheated, next to Mount Meru ("Mahabharata"); the Vorukash Sea - a coastline cut by onions-bays in the country of Bavri - beavers near the Khara Berezaiti mountain ("Avesta"); Lukomorye, in Slavic mythology, it is also Lake Teletskoye, China Lake and Lake Ripeyskoye [7, p.202-203, 216-217, 247, 284, 291] as the source of the Ocean River (Ob river), placed by the ancients in the Southern Urals; the reservoir of Mahomet Al-Houd next to Mount Kaf in Muslim legends, etc.

5. Near the World Mountain there is a fertile valley where rivers flow along the golden bottom, there is a gold deposit [7, p.111; 8, p. 34-38].

6. On the shores of Lake Vorukasha and in the "underground refuge" in the center of the lake (on the island), sacrifices are made and God is worshiped in the form of Tura - the Bull ("Avesta").

7. The primordial earth contains rock crystal, chrysolites, emeralds and other gems.

8. World Mount Zion is located in the land of the "shadow of death" next to the sea (lake), "a ring surrounded by mountains" and other mountain lakes in an area where pines and spruces grow, with frosts that a person can hardly withstand [12, p. … 103, 133, 141, 170]. Mount Zion is called the source of all peoples, mentions of it are associated with the mention of chariots (the archaeological history of chariots) and food abundance (the transition to agriculture in the Neolithic) [12, p. 154, 170]. On Mount Zion, in the north, the "House of God" (analogy - the city of Indra Amaravati on Mount Meru. "Mahabharata") and the "World tree", which in the meaning is equated with the "Word" (Latin verba), also given on the World Mount, and with God [12, p. 47, 55, 99, 101, 106].

The descriptions of the World Mountain and the sacred sea-lake in the primordial land in the ancient myths of different peoples, on the one hand, so coincide, and on the other hand, are so unique that only the Taganai - Kosotur - Urenga ridge and Lake Turgoyak in the Chelyabinsk region in the Southern Urals are suitable for them … The points:

1. The mountain has three peaks.

2. The slopes of Taganai are strewn with garnet grains, staurolite and kyanite crystals.

3. At Dalniy Taganai, Vernadsky V. I. discovered the pole of the wind. The average wind speed is 10, 5 m / s, and on some days over 50 m / s. He suggested organizing the Taganai Gora weather station there.

4. At a distance of less than one day's crossing there is Lake Turgoyak with unusually cold, clean and healing water. Of the six rivers and streams flowing into the lake, two have “beaver” names. Bobrovka river and Bobrovy brook.

5. Mount Taganay and Lake Turgoyak are located on the edge of the Miass Valley, where gold mining has been continuously conducted for 300 years. The largest nugget "Golden Triangle" that has survived on the planet was found in the Miass Valley. Stored in the collection of nuggets of the Diamond Fund of Russia.

6. In the Urals, and on the Vere Island in particular, megalithic structures of the Mesolithic and Neolithic times were discovered: cult sites, underground temples, dolmens, tombs with the image of Tur - Bull [5, p. 195-204].

7. Near Lake Turgoyak and Mount Taganay - Ilmensky mineralogical reserve, where all the minerals and gems that are on the planet are collected.

8. In the Southern Urals, severe frosts in winter and Lake Turgoyak is surrounded by mountains. In addition, some place names of the Southern Urals are derived from Sanskrit, as a language close to Proto-Indo-European. For example: Urenga is derived from two roots: “uren” (in another transcription “ayran”) - curdled milk whipped with churning and “ha” - coming from … Mahabharata "). Taganai, apparently, in ancient times was pronounced as "Ta ga naga" - God coming from the mountain (sacrifice on the World Mountain). Finally, Turgoyak is decomposed into the words Tur ga jagat - "a bull coming from the universe" (the cult of the primitive among the Proto-Indo-Europeans).

The data on Mount Taganay from the field of local lore, even with the most superficial examination, are surprising. Nevertheless, while we consider it an accident that after visiting Taganay: V. I. Vernadsky created the doctrine of the noosphere; Ulyanova M. A. gave birth and raised V. I. Lenin; Dal V. I. compiled a "dictionary of the living Great Russian language"; Vasnetsov V. M. became a great painter; Mendeleev V. I. discovered the periodic law of chemical elements; Zhukovsky V. A. educated Tsar Alexander II and Pushkin A. S., became a renowned poet; Bazhov P. P. wrote "The Ural Tales"; Skoblikova L. P. became the only six-time Olympic champion in speed skating in the world; Karpov A. E. became the world chess champion; Tchaikovsky P. I. became a great composer etc. It is very likely that the future US President Clark Hoover visited Taganai when he worked as a mining engineer at the Kyshtym copper smelter at the beginning of the 20th century; IV Kurchatov, after visiting Taganai, created an atomic bomb. There is reason to believe that Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, visited Taganai during his wanderings. Pushkin A. S., apparently, visited Urenga - Taganai in September 1833 on his return from Orenburg - Uralsk, where he collected materials on the history of the Pugachev rebellion. Immediately after that, the second Boldinskaya autumn happened, the culmination of his work, when in just a month and a half the following were created: the novel "The Queen of Spades", "The History of Pugachev", "Songs of the Western Slavs", two poems - "The Bronze Horseman" and "Angelo", several fairy tales, incl. "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish", "The Tale of the Sea Princess", "The Tale of the Dead Princess and the Seven Heroes", translations of poems by Mickiewicz AB, a Polish poet and about a dozen poems, including such a masterpiece as "Autumn".

Conclusions:

1. It should be assumed that the original land, known from the myths of different peoples (Great Svitod - Scandinavian myths; Hyperborea - Greek myths; Iriy, Belovodye - Slavic myths; Shambhala - Tibetan myths; Nenokuni - the land underlying - Shintoism, Japan; Paradise - Jewish myths, etc.) is the Southern Urals at the end of the Mesolithic and in the Neolithic, this is the place of residence of the Nostratic linguistic community and the place of the Neolithic revolution.

2. Two religious and scientific centers accomplished the feat of the Neolithic revolution. One on the World Mountain - Mount Taganay, the other on the sacred sea-lake Turgoyak.

3. Currently, megalithic monuments and caves with rock paintings of the Stone Age in the Urals in most cases are not protected and are not investigated due to lack of manpower and resources, they are destroyed by "wild" tourists and "black" archaeologists. Their greatest value is not recognized as the heritage of all mankind.

4. The uniqueness of the geological, landscape and other features of Mount Taganai and Lake Turgoyak (the greatest geological fault, the junction of the Asian and European plates of the earth's crust, the almost vertical occurrence of quartz layers, etc.) suggest that the place where the Neolithic revolution took place was not accidental; further exploitation of natural effects that increase the level of consciousness.

5. Using an integrative, interdisciplinary approach sheds light on the “blind spots” of history.
