"Flood" in the heads

The author raises the question of a more detailed attitude to research problems. Do all buildings have clear signs of skidding of the first floors? Can this be classified everywhere as a consequence of the flood?

Colleagues, let's all the same, probably, in more detail and scrupulous approach to search problems. For the dating of the last flood, for example. At what time, chronologically, it is not sent only now, and what traces and "proofs" of the flood are not found! Such, for example, as in the article about Tomsk University. Good article. Wonderful. Not every Tomsk citizen has the opportunity to visit, at least virtually, inside the University. Special thanks to the author for these photos. Only the version still raises doubts. I'll try to explain why? I will deliberately not post photos of the University from the article, but send the reader to the source: This will refresh the memory of those who read this article or read those who have not. It is desirable, of course, that the reader is familiar with other sources on this topic. So, half-filled, and in some places almost completely the windows of the first floors of buildings are considered to be strong evidence of the flood. Excuse me, but where did we get the idea that these are the windows of the first, not semi-basement floors. I'll make a reservation right away, there is clear evidence in the materials of different authors. There is! This could be a consequence of either soil fallout after nuclear strikes, or the consequence of soil deposition by mudflows and much more. All versions are entitled to be. But not all buildings with "filled up" first floors can be classified according to these criteria. Tomsk University, in my opinion, does not fit into this version at all. And not only him. Let's take a leisurely walk through Tomsk, dear reader. But first I want to draw your attention to the fact that an intuitive sense of proportion and imbalance is present in a person by the nature of nature. That is, the awareness of the so-called "golden section" is genetically embedded in our nature. Please remember this for now. And first, as a builder, I will tell you what "lanterns" are in construction. These are special windows used to illuminate attics, basements and other rooms. For example, industrial boxes. Then they are placed on the roof as an additional small superstructure. In structures for other purposes, for more penetrating light, they are often arranged sloped inside. This can be observed, for example, in our temples. The upper windows are almost everywhere with bevels for greater street light penetration.

In the basement rooms of Tomsk University, we see a similar construction solution. Both here and there, more penetrating natural light is simply vital. The University building itself does not evoke a sense of imbalance in forms. If in the works of different authors on Peter we can observe, as it were, flattened buildings with pronounced lowered entrances and doors, then in Tomsk this is not observed. All the more so when looking at the University.

The left wing of the University.

Right wing of the University.

Main entrance.

Now let's take a closer look. The architectural solution of dividing interfloor belts is used everywhere, even in modern construction. Here we see dividing belts between the semi-basement and the floors. The windows of the first and second functional "residential" floors are the same. The basement windows are strikingly different. This means that if the University building was originally three-storey with some other basement, then the "half-filled windows" would be the same stylistically with the windows of the upper floors. Further, if you look closely at the left and right wings of the University building, you will notice the slope of the landscape. As a result of this slope, we observe a different distance of the location of the windows from the ground level. Moreover, there is a characteristic architectural border along the lower edge of the windows, which gives not only a "building level", but also a visual skew of proportions. In the semi-basement rooms, we observe an internal slope for more illumination. Tomsk University was not filled up. There is a visually observable cultural layer, and only one, which for more than a hundred years has not even blocked the central entrance. The entrance is still slightly above ground level and you have to step on a step.

Here, for example, is a building near the University, but standing on the central street of the city, Lenin Avenue.

Also as we see "completely filled up". Are cultural layers great?

As you can see, no. We look at the building next to it.

Again the "half-filled windows" of the "first floor", strikingly different in shape from the windows of the residential sector.

What is the cultural layer here?

Not impressive either! And this is how the left wing of this building looks like.

Due to the natural slope of the landscape, an increase in the cultural layer, building layers in the form of modern paving slabs, the extreme left window will soon disappear into the ground altogether. Is the cultural layer big here too?

Yes, actually the same thing, considering only the natural slope of the sidewalk. The window is almost half covered with a cultural layer and nothing more.

Here is a similar example, but for modern construction.

For another couple of decades, the semi-basement lamps of this building will look like half-filled windows on the first floor. And, probably, someone will also put forward some of their own versions.

This is how wooden buildings "shrink".

And the increase in the cultural layer?

Also not impressed!

And here is a very illustrative example of modern construction. The building was built in the 50s. the last XX century.

And the windows are the same and the dividing belt and "direct signs of a flood"! But are they the same and what is the cultural layer?

Yes, twenty centimeters at most thirty and more! I was in this building myself. There is a fairly spacious basement with high ceilings. It even has full-fledged office space, not just utility rooms.

An illustrative example of the natural increase in the cultural layer.

This is the usual typical modern "Khrushchev". There are thousands and thousands of them all over the country. The cultural layer increases and sewage and rainwater begins to enter the basement windows. We have to make a water stopper. More often it is made simply from a bump of asphalt. But this does not mean at all that there was a flood fifty years ago.

Where do such basements come from? And a hundred years ago and now? In construction, there is such a thing as a continental foundation. This is solid ground at a depth of two or more meters. Otherwise, the building will collapse. Cracks will go and eventually the building will collapse naturally. A hundred years ago, strip foundations were used, produced by the backing method. Sometimes on wooden piles. But here and there, digging of a pit is required in order to support the foundation on the mainland foundation. The foundation was raised to ground level and then sometimes it was simply filled up and covered with either construction waste or clay. Of course, no one wants to lose functionally basements or semi-basements. These are, so to speak, unreasonable losses. It is easier to provide lanterns and use these rooms as you see fit. Modern basements in buildings are smaller and lower due to the use of reinforced concrete pile driving technology, which significantly reduces the depth of the pit.

The flood was undeniable. Otherwise why is the continental foundation so deep then? And there was a flood really relatively recently. Otherwise, the soil would be compressed. The layer of black soil does not count. Natural growth of soil, so to speak. Therefore, the builders had to go deep and then use the basements that appear so to speak "forcedly". But the flood was definitely before the mass construction of Tomsk at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. I would link the last flood chronologically to the Tomsk Timiryazevsky burial ground. There are 738 or more mounds. This can be viewed on the Internet. Historians and archaeologists date some of the mounds to 1600 years ago, some to the Middle Ages, some to the beginning of the 19th century, etc. These mounds are a direct consequence of the cleansing of Siberia and the total destruction of the population. This is a fact and another historical mark! If the Tomsk buildings turned out to be silted up by a flood, then the mounds would be either washed out or silted up. But even now they are clearly pronounced mounds with a height of three to five meters. In any case, the flood mud streams would have completely brought between the mound spaces and the mounds would simply cease to be visible visually. Tomsk was built up after the flood cataclysm. All of Russia was built using semi-basement lamps. Everywhere they went down and dug up to the mainland foundation. Except for certain regions. Kazan, for example, where old pavements were found in the depths. That is, not all "half-filled" buildings can be considered a consequence of the flood. But there was a flood. This is also a fact. Another question is when? If some authors and researchers give the dating of the beginning of the 19th century, then I am inclined to agree. Why not? The forests in Siberia could not only burn out, but simply “drown” and suffocate in the flood. The photosynthesis process was stopped. Three years without summer finished off the remnants. Everything else just rotted away. When a forest is on fire, there are still untouched areas in the interfluves or, for example, in areas where it rained and extinguished hearths, etc. etc. We are witnessing the total absence of forests in Siberia 200 years ago. Apparently this is a consequence of a combination of factors. The flood also explains the rather soft layer of soil, which could not be compressed for some 200 years. Wooden buildings shrink so much that they were often built without a good foundation and later simply "sank" into soft soil. This also explains the location of the largest swamp in the world on the territory of Western Siberia. These are the Vasyugan swamps. I think this is understandable. Although the flood could have happened before. I will not invent. But the burial mounds apparently and really appeared quite recently. Just two hundred years ago. Then, when the Great Tartary fell completely. Below are the lines from another article of mine, so as not to repeat myself.

“We have a so-called Timiryazevsky burial mound near Tomsk. So in the local Museum of Local Lore there are even three posters with three riddles: 1. Where from near Tomsk, where in ancient times there were no more than twenty households in villages, and as a result, the population was extremely small, more than 500 burial grounds? 2. Archaeologists, making excavations, are puzzled by one fact: in some burial grounds no one is buried, but only things, household items, arrowheads, etc. are kept. 3. Mysterious miniature objects, exact reduced copies of normal household items, weapons and jewelry are often found in the Timiryazev kurgans.

Poor poor our official historians, they have no idea that small objects are the simplest children's toys. Mounds with some things are the result of a hasty cleanup, when at first they took corpses and belongings to mass graves, because corpses tend to decompose, and only then they slowly dumped into a heap and covered with earth all the remaining artifacts that they did not manage to take out the first time in order to hide any reminder that these places were once densely populated. This is how mounds arose with some household items, for example. Dating of the mounds 1600 years ago. Yes, that's right? And the consequence of the entrance to the Fox Hall may be these mounds, just about 1600 years ago, and the result of the total cleansing of Siberia from 1816 to 1841. maybe these mounds. And whether the children were left alive, one could find out by the bones in the burial grounds, but apparently no one will deal with this anymore. Toys, so that the ancestral memory does not awaken, could be buried together with the parents, the children could be taken out. Who knows now! In any case, another significant historical mark has appeared!"

The article is here:

At the end of this article, I will give a photo of another building, built in 1907. At first it was the building of the diocesan school for women, then the military medical institute.

Nobody thinks that the doorway was subsequently cut through after the building was swept by a flood? Everything is logical enough. The proportions do not cause rejection in the mind. Although the semi-basement lanterns, as elsewhere, are slightly covered with a cultural layer.
