Historians say that the clock in Moscow first appeared in 1404. They were located not on the Kremlin tower, but in the courtyard of Grand Duke Vasily Dmitrievich, not far from the Annunciation Cathedral.

Allegedly, the first mention of this watch is in the Obverse Chronicle Code (Trinity Chronicle). The chronicle itself is cited by the famous history falsifier Karamzin (see the False Historian Karamzin) in the fifth volume of the History of the Russian State. It was written in a semi-ustav of the 15th century. on parchment, which again testifies to the fact that this forgery was made not earlier than the 18th century - see the article by A. Artemyev "Deep antiquity books are a fake." Allegedly found in the library of the monastery in the 1760s. Academician of the Petersburg Academy of Sciences G. F. Miller. Burned down during the Moscow fire in 1812. As always, we are dealing only with copies.

Here is what was allegedly written there:

Miniature of the Obverse Chronicle Code. XVI century.

Here we see 12 o'clock in a circle, the usual hands. Installed by the monk Lazarus. There is no talk of any special "Russian watch". It is simple to prove a fake picture - allegedly in the 15th century a monk sets a 12-hour dial, then two centuries later, a 17-hour dial appears in all sources, and after fifty years Peter the first again changes them to 12-hour traditional chimes.

Moreover, clearing up the absurdity of the picture, historians still write about the old clock:

"History of Science and Technology" part 2, U / P Author A. A. Sheipak:

"."

As for the official history of the tower clock in general, there were supposedly no preconditions for its own timing. European novelties in Russia were used immediately on the move, several decades after the invention:

"The tower clock of Milan (1335), Strasbourg (1352), Nuremberg (1361), Augsburg (1364), Paris and London (1370), driven by a load, showed not only time, but also the position of heavenly bodies, mechanical puppet shows. In 1404, under the great Moscow prince Vasily I, such a clock, made by the master Lazar Serbin from the Athos monastery, was installed in the Moscow Kremlin. In 1436, the tower clock was erected in Novgorod, and forty years later - in Pskov. " [A source]

We look further at the official history:

The clock appeared on the Spassky Tower only in the middle of the 16th century.

The Austrian ambassador A. Meyerberg wrote about the clock restored after the fire of 1654 as one of the sights of Moscow at that time:

"".

Augustin Meyerberg; 1622-1688) - Austrian baron, traveler and diplomat. Actually, the drawing of the clock is preserved in his album "Meyerberg's Album. Views and everyday paintings of Russia in the 17th century. Drawings of the Dresden album, reproduced from the original in full size with attached maps of the path of the Caesar's embassy in 1661-62."

In the third picture from Zabelin's book "The Domestic Life of Russian Tsars" "the number 13 is missing.

Such confusion with the number of hours in the day of the old Russian clock clearly indicates another historical forgery.

The traditional explanation for the 17 o'clock dial is as follows:

Watches were needed and used:

1800s, modern look:

1672:

1886:

1799: the clock leaps up. Around the ruins, scattered stones …..

1862 Another watch. The censor approves.

Borovitsky gate. Photo, a trace of a huge clock is visible.

Trinity Gate is clearly a round trace from some kind of clock.

Chapel-bell towers

If you look at the structure of Christian churches with an uncomplicated look, then the bell towers, in our modern view, are nothing more than an alarm clock.

If we talk about Moscow, then most of the churches and all kinds of temples with monasteries are from the 18-19th century.

On the bell tower - chapel - on top of the clock.

The clock on belfries, bell towers and chapels is no wonder. A common occurrence. Where did the word "chapel" come from then?
