Flat Earth and Tartaria


Crookshanks

Recommended Posts

I like to peruse youtube now and again and I came across a whole load of videos on Flat Earth and a place called Tartaria, which is now Russia apparently. What people are alleging is that the history of the world has been altered so that it looks like there was no such place or empire and that Tartaria never existed.  However there was, according to these videos, a large area of land in what is now Russia, and a huge part of North America which was populated by giants. These giants are Tartarians. They were said to be as tall as 2 and half miles high. Really?  They are also saying that Greco Roman architecture came from Tartaria and not from the Roman Empire as we are told in our history books.  If its true it turns everything on its head.  I don't know about the whole flat Earth thing though I mean... that would mean that the arctic and the antarctic might be the same land.  They are also saying that a mud flood buried half the buildings the Tartarians built and the reason a lot of them have huge doors and ceilings is because the people using them were much taller than us. I kind of thought the parts of the buildings underground were foundations and that they built big in order to be grandiose and show off a bit and over awe people.  What do you all think of it?

Welcome to Ancient Mysteries & Alternative history although I see you've been around nearly 3 years.

Well given that 'flat earth' is a non-starter of an idea I think you can safely say any ideas based on it are fatuous also. Tartaria is the Latin word for Tartary which did exist as a 'region or territory'.

Not full of giants however.

Tartary and Tartaria have been used in other contexts also.

Tartar is a term used for Turkish speakers and Tartaria was a "catch all" phrase for the Central Asian and Pontic Caspian Steppes or where ever Turks lived.

There was never any giants in North America or interaction with Europe or Asia prior to 1492.  The "Columbian Exchange" negates it.

Hey all

 

I am aware of the official history surrounding the whole tartaria thing lol and the world seeing as I am half way through my degree and all. I just wondered what people thought of the possibility that the official history is not the actual history. Doing the degree we are given sources to look at, and are told to make up our own minds about it and we tend to sort of come up with the same sorts of things.  However if you are creative I suppose you could come up with an alternative history, if you had the right sources.  Right?  Trouble is, how do we know what sources are reliable and what isn't. I mean, you could look at the foundations of a building and say yes its just foundations but then ask why?  Why would they have a window that is half in and half out of the ground.  Why to foundations even need windows? Little things like that.

Tartaria is Mongolia and the Khanate.  The Europeans thought that the Mongols had emerged from the underworld of Tartarus to "scourge the world", hence they called them Tartars.

NOPE! 

I studied the archaeology and cultures of the Steppe.

Now THAT is an interesting topic. I have certainly done what I can to read up on it. I had a good chat with a Romanian Professor who was an expert on the subject, and how it played into the Volkswandrung and the end of the Roman Empire.  I am presently looking for good source material on the White Huns.

Did your source say "2.5 miles" or "2.5m"?

If the latter, then I expect they meant 2.5 metres - which is unlikely, but at least more plausible than 2.5 miles. Remember, there aren't many countries that use those quaint measurements known as "miles".

Why don't you link to an image of what you are referring too. Depending on the situation you may be alluding to buildings that have been partially buried by an accumulation of  soil after construction.

Sources, sources are like people - who can you trust or not trust. One of our folks here Kenemet can answer that in fine style for you.

Image result for Tartarian mud flood architecture

 

Ok well here's a building that clearly had that first floor underground. Its got windows, its got doors. What's the point of having windows and doors if its all underground?  You don't need them right?  Here's another one. 

 

Image result for Tartarian mud flood buildings

 

There's underground levels with openings in them.. doors.. windows? They have no need for them.

Like WTF?  I mean ... sure there might be another explanation for these so called Tartarian buildings right?  I mean.. even if they aren't Tartarian something must have happened that we have no idea about. These buildings ...these foundations don't need doors or windows but lo and behold there they are.

How about some human remains of the Tart People.

Just a suggestion when linking to something it is usually a good idea to provide the actual link too.

Older buildings in cities will be lower down because people tend to repair roads and other areas by ADDING material not taking it away, so over time the original structure ends up lower. The mudbrick cities of the Middle East were notorious for this so much so they developed into Tells. Many western cities also have the similar thing happenings. It happens too in the USA they repair roads by repairing the original but don't remove it - so it gets higher over time.

The other image didn't show windows.

It definately said 2.5 miles. 

Impossible because of the Earth`s gravity and the corresponding need for energy/food.

I like to entertain the possibility that what we think we know is just what we're told to believe. I mean.. just because what we reason to be the most likely, is the most likely doesn't mean that's exactly the way it was.  So I look at these things and yeah the evidence is sketchy at best, but I wonder about history. Even things like the British Empire which there is so much evidence for could have been faked, even if its a huge fake. I know.. what difference will it make to our lives now? I always get asked that and I'm like.. its not about that its just entertaining the possibility that we're wrong.

I do not see any doors or windows below the level of the fence. What I see is a building complex on a pile foundation. The black dots seem to be internal fasteners within the pile foundation.

So tell me this - what would the world look like were the above not true? The answer is obviously "as it does today". You could say there is a mind-control conspiracy that wiped everyone's minds an hour ago and replaced it with the reality we currently see. But that in itself is not an answer, because there is no question in the first place. Does that make sense?

Sorry, it's a bank holiday, it's 90 outside and I'm one very strong cider in already.

No, not "really". Humans are the size they are because that is the size they can be. A human even 5 metres high would be crushed under their own density. Basics physics innit.

Again - this is an answer to a question that doesn't exist. The history and provenance of "Greco Roman architecture" is very well known. They could have at least chosen something a little more obscure, like Atlantean pinball machine design.

The earth isn't flat. And the Arctic and Antarctica being the "same land" would be... er... a kind of inverse torus planet? I can't even visualise that. Like I say, one cider in.

There is no such thing as the "official history" of anything. It is no a political statement. History is a collection of works by many millions of people. Some disagree, some challenge each other, some contradict. There is a "generally accepted" version of each part of history, but there is no one stamping a document that says "official history of Russia". 

Hmmm, actually, that last bit might not be true.

Only morons would call the building complex a "Tartarian Building". The image above was taken in Paris in the 70s, showing construction works at the new Châtelet–Les Halles train/Metro station, see link.

Basements have entrance hatches and ramps for deliveries, or, for example, most townhouses in London have a basement with windows, and a lightwell built into the pavement above. Additionally, some streets have "buried" sections, where the road and sidewalk have been raised, and the ground floors are covered over. Happened a lot in British cities for sure.

Those are foundations and piles, driven into the ground to support the weight of the buildings and stop them from moving around. The dark marks will be strengthening steel.

I've worked in comms in the built environment industries (town planning, architecture and construction) for the last 2 decades, and nothing here looks out of place.

Yes in the case of some authoritarian or religiously oriented nations there IS an official history but it isn't usually accepted by those outside that country. History kinda works by consensus but not really. Everyone agrees there were Crusades but few agree on why they occurred, what they did, how they did it and what were the long term consequences.
