Арбет Мрамор / Arbet Marble / Map of Russia, Muscovy and Tartary, London, 1562 in a baguette - a replica

Map of Russia, Muscovy and Tartaria, London, 1562 in a baguette - replica size with baguette 84 X 64 cm. "Map of Russia, Muscovy and Tartaria," 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 Highness Heinrich Sidney, ruler of Wales. As you can see on this map, the entire territory of Russia is called Tartaria, and Russia and Muscovy are distinguished as administrative units within it. Please note that in the upper left corner is imprinted by Emperor Ivan IV Vasilievich (Grozny), 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 the emperor in the world, except for the Russian Tsar. There were kings, princes, kings, sultans, and the emperor was alone. So it happened from the Byzantine Empire, "Vasileus" (in the Byzantine "emperor"), was considered the ruler of the world. However, official history teaches us that the first Russian emperor was Peter I. This map debunk this statement and brings us closer to knowing the true history of our great country. And then who is buried in the Intercession Cathedral on Red Square: unknown to anyone Vasily the Blessed or Vasilevs the Blessed (Blessed Emperor). Texts with explanations to various places and regions of the vast Tartaria are of great interest. picture - A fragment of a map with the image of a golden woman and a cartouche with text. So, for example, the text about the Golden Baba is interesting, the legends of which have survived to this day. Films on this subject were shot in Soviet times. On this map, the Golden Woman is depicted as Raphael's Sistine Madonna (text and picture at the top of the map). This image was taken by a map maker who had never seen a real statue. The text says that this extraordinary deity was a cult of the people of that locality and gave answers to the questions that she was asked. picture - A fragment of a map with the image of worshipers and a cartouche with text. In the upper right corner of the map you can see a red banner and a drawing of people worshiping it. The map compiler’s commentary indicates that people in this area (northern Siberia) worshiped the Sun, and used a red panel as a symbol of the Sun. Interestingly, the modern word “red” consists of two parts “To RA”, which means “to the Sun”. Moreover, Ra is not the ancient Egyptian god of the sun, as textbooks teach us, but the original 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 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 "towards Ra." This phrase was firmly entrenched in the Russian language, first designating a corner with images for prayer, by analogy with the angle where there was a window to which the sun was prayed, and later, in Soviet times, information centers where meetings could be held were called “red corners” , and where portraits of leaders were necessarily present. If you analyze this information, it turns out that in the pre-Christian era, the cult of Ra was spread throughout Russia, and not just in the north of Siberia. Otherwise, all these roots and words would not have entered into the common language and would not have survived to this day. On this map, as well as on the map of Hessel Gerrits, there is a second, old name of the Volga River - Ra. Other explanatory texts are very interesting: “These rocks have a human likeness, as well as resemblance to camels and other animals loaded with various luggage; 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 cattle; but at one moment, by some magic, they all turned into stone and became rocks, retaining the likeness of people and animals. This miraculous transformation took place 300 years ago. " “The distance from Mangyshlak to Shaysur is 20 days on a land devoid of water and deserted; from Shaysur to Bukhara the same distance; robberies very often occur on this path. ” “The people called the Kirghiz live in a crowd, representing the Horde. The priest of Kirghiz during the service, taking blood, milk, litter of pack animals and mixing it all with the earth, fills the vessel with this composition and climbs onto a tree. When he gathers fellow tribesmen under a tree, he sprinkles them on top with this mixture. The ritual of sprinkling has a sacred status. When one of the Kyrgyz dies, they do not betray the dead man to the earth, but hang him on a tree. ” "Small Horsan, which is under the control of the kingdom of Persia, was captured in 1558 by tartars." “Once Samarkand was the main city of all of Tartaria, and now the city is in ruins, having lost its former significance; however, there are enough antiquities left here. Here, Temerlan was buried, who at one time captured the Turkish emperor Bayazit and carried him with him in gold shackles everywhere. The inhabitants of this city profess the Mohammedan faith. ” “In 30 days of the journey to Kashgar east, the borders of the Chinese empire begin. From the border of Kashgar to Kambalyk three months journey. " However, one must understand that Anthony Jenkinson himself, the compiler of this map, was not in any of these places, and possibly in general in Russia - Tartaria. And he compiled his map according to descriptions that came to him from various travelers of that time.
