Where exactly was Hyperborea and whether it existed at all – historians still puzzle. According to the last relatively proven version, Hyperboreans lived in current Karelia and the Kola Peninsula.
“I knew that in our area there are many historical artifacts, – said Andrei Shulga. – My son and I went made about 600 photographs of megaliths (prehistoric structures of large stone blocks connected without cement or lime mortar). We began to study them to find similar ones. objects and understand what it is. Searched-searched-and drew attention, how amazingly similar our artifacts are to those that found on the Kola Peninsula! ”

Andrey Shulga sent pictures from Volnovakha to Russian geographic society, and there they reacted instantly.
“Looks like you made a discovery because menhir (rude processed wild stone mounted vertically) on Kola the peninsula and menhir near the village of Anadol are absolutely identical and relate to the culture of Hyperborea, “- said in the Russian Geographical Society. Russians put forward two versions: either the legendary hyperboreans came to the south steppes of Donbass from Karelia, or our land is the progenitor of their civilization. Moreover, the second hypothesis has more good reason. According to the geographical society, objects Donskoye villages look older than their Karelian counterparts on several thousand years.

In addition, according to Shulga, in the Lagozin beam near the village Donskoye and identical complexes are located near Seydozer in Karelia altars, and also sawn and set on the same technology seydy – sacred objects of hyperboreans, similar to huge boulders. “The point in doubt was set by stone wells. Such wells among the ancient Hyperboreans were sacred, they worshiped. Both on the Kola Peninsula, and here, the wells are identical, and in our area there are eight of them. And for one of the menhirs in Ruins have already been found in Volnovakha region – presumably temple complex, which is more than 5 thousand years old! “- explains Andrey Shulga.

In the Donetsk Regional Museum of Local Lore in reality thousand-year-old church near Volnovakha, as in the idea of living Hyperboreans in the Donetsk steppes doubt it. As commented Senior Researcher, Department of Monument Protection, Archeology Donetsk Regional Museum of Local Lore Eduard Kravchenko, to similar theories need to be approached with healthy skepticism. “On the north of the Donetsk region, we found many artifacts, but to Hyperborrhea they have nothing to do, but relate, in in particular, to Penkovskaya culture (5-7 century). Yes, we had places of worship, but not near the village of Donskoye. Menhirs – vertically set stones are elements of the culture of many peoples, and stone wells and crates we find in our mounds.

In general, we are wary of this kind of “sensation.” Recently there was a case when they found ceramics with a waffle pattern – a sign of Yakut culture, but this does not mean that in residents of the Far North visited the Donetsk steppes. So hardly we we can talk about the traces of Hyperboreans. ”
