Novodevichy pr-d, 1
Myths, legends and even fairy tales tell modern inhabitants about amazing places, where previously unknown creatures lived, superhumans lived and justice and bliss reigned. Scientists and researchers for several centuries have tried to find fairy island Buyan, the legendary Avalon, and many of their searches were successful. This review presents famous mythical places that actually existed.
1. Buyan Island
“To the realm of the glorious Saltan past Buyan Island,” these lines from Pushkin’s fairy tale have long become a favorite for many generations, and, meanwhile, some researchers claim to have found the very island that the poet mentioned. This is the German island of Rügen, located in the Baltic Sea. Previously, it was inhabited by the Ruyan tribe, hence the former name of the place - Ruyan. Perhaps, through centuries of etymological transformations, Ruyan turned into Buyan.
Another one interesting feature- this is the phrase "on the Okiyane Sea, on the island of Buyan lies the white-combustible stone Alatyr." These words in Rus' reinforced various spells. On the real island there is a white chalk rock "King's Throne". From the legends of Pushkin's nanny Arina Rodionovna, one can glean information about thirty heroes (there were 33 of them in the fairy tale). Earlier, the author Saxo Grammaticus mentioned a guard of 300 people guarding the island of Ruyan. Researchers believe that in ancient times the island of Rügen and Rus' were connected by close trade and cultural relations.
2. Hy-Brazil
According to Irish mythology, Hy-Brazil is the sacred island of contentment, justice and immortality. According to legend, he is surrounded by mists and appears before the eyes of people once every seven years. The island was depicted several times on ancient maps, as some sailors claimed to have seen it. Modern scholars believe that Hy-Brazil could have been Baffinland. Perhaps due to the refraction of light rays passing through layers of cold and hot air, an optical illusion appeared.
3. Lukomorye
Another one mysterious land, known today from Pushkin's fairy tales - Lukomorye. According to folklore, this kingdom is somewhere in the north, where people fall into hibernation, and wake up with the advent of spring. The real name "Lucomoria" was often depicted on ancient Western European maps. This land was located on the right side of the Gulf of Ob, on the territory Tomsk region. If we turn to the etymology of the word, then “lukomoryem” previously meant “the bend of the seashore”. So the name Lukomorye was previously often found in completely different areas.
4 Avalon Island
The island of Avalon is mentioned in the myths of King Arthur. According to legend, it was on this island that the sword Excalibur was forged and King Arthur was buried. About Avalon, how about real place, started talking in the 12th century, when a burial was discovered in Somerset, near the city of Glastonbury, on St. Michael's Hill. The inscription indicated that this was the tomb of King Arthur and his wife Guinevere. Modern historians believe that it was most likely a "publicity stunt" to raise money to renovate the abbey. It is impossible to say for sure, because in the 17th century during civil war the grave was destroyed and the remains scattered.
5. Thule
For the Greeks and Romans, Thule was associated with the frontier of the world they knew. For the first time, its location is mentioned in the work of the Greek explorer Pytheas in the 4th century BC. e. after his trip to Northern Europe. Pytheas mentioned the island of Thule, in the frozen sea and the northern lights. At that time, no one believed the researcher. A few centuries later, when Iceland was discovered, it fit the description of the Greek very well. The Nazis, in turn, considered Thule to be the homeland of the Aryan nation.6. Tmutarakan
A place with a funny name Tmutarakan» in the 10th-11th centuries it was really a real city. It was located somewhat remotely from other principalities in Kerch Strait. Over time, Tmutarakan came under the influence of Byzantium, and then to Genoa. The current name of this area is the Taman Peninsula.
7. Eeeya
IN Greek mythology Eea is the island of the goddess Circe (Kirki), who lured sailors to her and then turned them into animals. In the Homeric poem, Odysseus came to this island and spent whole year. Researchers have identified the mythical place as the Cape Circeium peninsula, located on west coast Italy. Perhaps in Homer's time, the water level was higher, and Cape Circeium looked like a real island.
