Russian scientist finds Paradise at the North Pole

Russian scientist finds Paradise at the North PoleDoctor of Philosophy
Valery Dyemin, a researcher of the Arctic region, maintains that
Hyperborea ("beyond the Boreas (north wind)"), a mythical land that the
Greeks thought was located beyond Scythia, existed in reality. The
legendary French scientist Jean Sylvin Baiae attempted to prove the
existence of Hyperborea a few centuries ago.
"Yes, there were many of them. Not only the geographers and historians
worked on the problem, the linguists also made several contributions.
The rector of the University of Boston William Warren published a book
titled Paradise Found at the North Pole in late 19th century. In total,
there were 11 editions of the book. Warren analyzed a large number of
spoken stories and legends relating to paradise on Earth (Eden).
According to him, all the information contained therein stems from vague
recollections of some ancient perfect land that lay somewhere in the
Arctic region."
"What exactly are we talking about? Which part of the world should we
look at?"
"I believe we should be looking for the traces of that civilization in
Eurasia and American arctic regions, in the islands and archipelagos of
the Arctic Oceans, at the bottom of some seas, lakes and rivers. It's
worthy of notice that Russia has the largest number of locations and
artifacts that could be bear relevance to Hyperborea. Some of the above
have already drawn attention of specialists; others are yet to be
discovered. Active exploration is currently under way in the Kola
Peninsula, in the Island of Vaigach, in Karelia, Ural Mountains, West
Siberia, Khakasia, Yakutia, and a few other regions. There are good
prospects for conducting research in Franz Josef Land, Taimyr, and
Yamal.
The geographic term "Hyperborean platform" is technical use. Scientists
keep discussing the platform's dynamics in order to find out the reasons
why it sank to the bottom of the ocean."
"In other words, Hyperborea may have stretched over the lands that
eventually sank into the water?"
One of the charts by Gerhardus Mercator, the 16th century Flemish
cartographer and geographer, shows a huge continent lying in the
vicinity of the North Pole. The land is an archipelago composed of
several islands divided by deep rivers. A mountain sits in the center of
the land (according to legends, the ancestors of Indo-Europeans lived
near Mount Meru). The question is: How did that land appear on the
chart? There was no information whatsoever regarding the Arctic regions
during the Middle Ages. We have some reasons to believe that Mercator
had used an ancient chart, the one that is mentioned in his letter dated
1580. That chart showed a continent located in the center of the Arctic
Ocean, which was pictured ice-free on the chart. Mercator's chart seems
to be based on the ancient chart."
Secret decree by Catherine II
"Assuming that the ancient cartographic information was available for
the chosen ones in days of old, has anybody tried to search for
Hyperborea in the Arctic region?"
"Some of our compatriots participated in the quest for Hyperborea. The
Russia Empress Catherine II got some information of the ancient mythical
land near the Arctic Circle via the Free Masons. Catherine II organized
two expeditions with the help of Mikhail Lomonosov. She signed a secret
decree on May 4th, 1764. The official documents indicated that the
expedition headed by Admiral Vasily Chichagov had been dispatched to
Spitsbergen to inspect the location for the renewal of whaling and
fishing out there.
However, the endeavor is referred to as an "expedition bound for the
North Pole" in the memoirs by Chichagov's son. The Master was ordered to
open an envelope with detailed instructions only after his vessel had
made for the open sea. According to instructions, the vessel was to head
into the direction of the North Pole. Those instructions were penned by
Lomonosov, by the bye. Unfortunately, the expedition couldn't break
through the thick ice and had to turn back."
"Why was Catherine II so interested in finding Hyperborea?"
"I believe that Catherine, not unlike a few other kings and queens, was
enchanted by the prospects of discovering the elixir of eternal youth,
which is said to have been invented by the Hyperboreans. Pliny and
Herodotus, as well as Virgil and Cicero reported that people in the land
of Hyperborea lived to the age of one thousand and enjoyed lives of
complete happiness. We shouldn't forget that the Empress was a woman."
