The earth's axis of our planet in the northern vector is directed to the point where the star of the second magnitude, called the Polaris, is located in the tail

This star during the day outlines on celestial sphere a small circle with a radius of about 50 minutes of arc.

In ancient times, they knew about the tilt of the earth's axis

A very long time ago, in the II century BC. e., the astronomer Hipparchus discovered that this point is mobile on starry sky and slowly moves towards the motion of the Sun.

He calculated the rate of this movement at 1° per century. This discovery was called This move ahead, or the prelude to the equinox. The exact value of this movement, the constant precession, is 50 seconds per year. Based on this, a complete cycle along the ecliptic will be approximately 26,000 years.

Accuracy is important for science

Let's return to the question of the pole. Determining its exact position among the stars is one of the most important tasks of astrometry, which deals with measuring arcs and angles on the celestial sphere in order to determine the planets, proper movements and distances to the stars, as well as solving problems of practical astronomy that are important for geography, geodesy and navigation .

You can find the position of the pole of the world using photography. Imagine a long-focus photographic camera, implemented in the form of an astrograph, aimed motionlessly at a region of the sky near the pole. In such a photograph, each star will describe a more or less long arc of a circle with a single common center, which will be the pole of the world - the point where the rotation of the earth's axis is directed.

A little about the angle of the Earth's axis

The plane of the celestial equator, being perpendicular to the earth's axis, also changes its position, which causes the movement of the points of intersection of the equator with the ecliptic. In turn, the attraction of the equatorial displacement by the Moon tends to rotate the Earth in such a way that its equatorial plane intersects the Moon. But in this case, these forces act not on but on the masses that form the equatorial swelling of its ellipsoidal figure.

Imagine a sphere inscribed in the earth's ellipsoid, which it touches at the poles. Such a ball is attracted by the Moon and the Sun by forces directed towards its center. For this reason, the earth's axis remains unchanged. This attraction, acting on the equatorial bulge, tends to rotate the Earth in such a way that the equator and the object attracting it coincide, thus creating an overturning moment.

The Sun moves away from the equator twice during the year up to ± 23.5 °, and the removal of the Moon from the equator during the month reaches almost ± 28.5 °.

Children's toy spinning top reveals a little secret

If the Earth did not rotate, then it would tend to tilt, as if nodding, so that the equator would follow the Sun and Moon all the time.

True, due to the huge mass and inertia of the Earth, such fluctuations would be very insignificant, since the Earth would not have time to react to such a rapid change in direction. We are well acquainted with this phenomenon on the example of a child's spinning top. tends to overturn the top, but the centripetal force protects it from falling. As a result, the axis moves, describing a conical shape. And the faster the movement, the narrower the figure. The earth's axis behaves in the same way. This is a certain guarantor of its stable position in space.

The angle of the Earth's axis affects the climate

The Earth moves around the Sun in an orbit that is almost like a circle. Observation of the speed of stars located near the ecliptic represents that at any moment we are approaching some stars and moving away from the opposite ones in the sky at a speed of 29.5 kilometers per hour. The change of the seasons is the result of that. There is an inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of the orbit and is about 66.5 degrees.

Due to the small elliptical orbit, the planet is somewhat closer to the Sun in January than in July, but the difference in distance is not significant. Therefore, the effect on the receipt of heat from our star is hardly noticeable.

Scientists believe that the earth's axis is an unstable parameter of our planet. Studies show that the angle of inclination of the earth's axis with respect to the plane of its orbit in the past was different and changed periodically. According to the legends that have come down to us about the death of Phaethon, in the descriptions of Plato there is a mention of an axis shift at this terrible time by 28 °. This catastrophe took place over ten thousand years ago.

Let's fantasize a little and change the angle of the Earth

The current angle of the earth's axis with respect to the plane of the orbit is 66.5 ° and provides a not so sharp fluctuation in temperatures winter - summer. For example, if this angle were about 45°, what would happen at the latitude of Moscow (55.5°)? In May, under such conditions, the sun will reach the zenith (90°) and shift to 100° (55.5°+45°=100.5°).

With such an intense movement of the Sun, the spring period would pass much faster, and in May it would reach the peak of temperatures, as at the equator at maximum solstice. Then it would weaken slightly, as the sun, passing the zenith, would go a little further. Then it came back, passing the zenith again. For two months, in July and May, unbearable heat would be observed, about 45-50 degrees Celsius.

Now consider what would happen to winter, for example, in Moscow? After passing the second zenith, our luminary would have dropped to 10 degrees (55.5°-45°=10.5°) above the horizon in December. That is, with the approach of December, the sun would come out for a shorter period than now, rising low above the horizon. During this period, the sun would shine for 1-2 hours a day. Under such conditions, nighttime temperatures will drop below -50 degrees Celsius.

Every version of evolution has the right to life

As we can see, for the climate on the planet it is important at what angle the earth's axis. This is a fundamental phenomenon in the mildness of the climate and living conditions. Although, perhaps, under different conditions on the planet, evolution would have gone in a slightly different way, creating new types of animals. And life would continue to exist in its other diversity, and, perhaps, there would be a place for a “different” person in it.

2. Movement of the earth's axis

Despite the seriousness of the arguments given by opponents movement of the earth's axis, under certain circumstances, it can still take place. This is evidenced by the close to horizontal position of the axis of rotation of Uranus, which took such a position, most likely, after a collision with the planet of some large cosmic body. This is also evidenced by the astronomers from the Carnegie Institute of the Moon and Planets and the University of California at Santa Cruz, under the leadership of Isamu Matsuyama, who calculated the movement of the axis of rotation of Jupiter's moon, Europa, by about 80 °. Finally, this is confirmed by the calculations of Jafar Arkani-Hamed from the Canadian McGill University, according to which the axis of rotation of Mars after the catastrophe has shifted by more than 30 °.
Such a change in the position of the axis of rotation of the planets is called true displacement, in contrast to the imaginary displacement of the poles caused by lithospheric plate tectonics. True movements also took place on Saturn's moon Enceladus and, as shown above, on Earth.

"Chain reaction catastrophes"

Today, changes in the position of the geographic poles are observed from satellites of the GPS system. The data is sent to the International Earth Rotation Service (USGS). According to long-term observations, earthquakes do have some effect on the displacement of the earth's axis or poles. However, in turn, the displacement of the earth's axis (or poles) is a trigger for earthquakes.

Read news" Earthquake in Japan shifted the Earth's axis"

So the circle is closed. A catastrophe caused by an asteroid impact with the Earth, a nuclear exchange, or whatever, will cause the earth's axis to shift, the formation of faults and earthquakes throughout the planet, and these, in turn, will further shift the earth's axis. And it is not so important whether it will change its orientation in space (according to the given legends and calculations by I. Matsuyama and D. Arkani-Khamed), or whether the geographical poles will shift, and the position of the axis will not change (as, for example, P. Schultz and A. .Sklyarov), the catastrophic consequences of this will be comparable.

Around its axis, resulting in a change of day and night. But how strictly constant is the direction of the imaginary earth's axis in space? Or is this rotation causing movement of the earth's poles?

Earth is a spinning top

Our Earth is essentially a colossal, constantly spinning top, in many ways similar to the toy that we are used to seeing in the hands of children. No matter how hard you run this children's spinning top, anyway, its rotation speed after one or two minutes will begin to slow down, and the upper end of its axis will begin to describe larger and larger circles. Eventually, the top will fall. As for the Earth, it rotates like a top around its axis already several billion years. The axis of its rotation has all the time almost the same direction in space; in other words, it moves parallel to itself, making, as they say in mechanics, forward movement in orbit. But, strictly speaking, the earth's axis has some slight deviations from a constant direction; however, these deviations are so small that their presence can be established only after very large intervals of time. So, for example, over a period of about 26 thousand years, the earth's axis describes some conical surface. The brilliant mathematician Isaac Newton was the first to explain this movement of the earth's axis on the basis of the law he discovered gravity, (more details: ). In addition, the earth's axis constantly makes small oscillations with a period of about 18.6 years. These oscillations are called nutation. The equator of the Earth is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of our planet and, as a result, of course, also moves, causing in turn a change in the latitude of points fixed on earth's surface. In 1884 astronomer Kustner It was possible to discover that the latitudes of various points on the surface of the Earth change periodically.

The incessant movement of the earth's poles

Subsequently, this was explained by the fact that the points of the earth's poles are not fixed - staying strictly at rest all the time. Astronomical observations showed that both Earth's poles are constantly moving, describing some irregular circles of a larger or smaller radius with a period of about 433 days. Famous mathematician Leonhard Euler in his studies showed that such a relatively short period during which the earth's poles move indicates that the inner parts of the Earth are in solid state and what the lower the hardness of the Earth, the longer the period of movement of its poles should be. We now know that moving, for example, The north pole of the earth is so small that he always remains inside a certain square with a side of 20 meters. This movement of the earth's poles is due to the fact that the direction of the earth's axis inside the globe is constantly changing, albeit only slightly.

What changes can the shifting of the Earth's axis cause?

Let's see what happens if the earth's axis, while maintaining a strictly constant direction in space, at the same time changes its position sharply and on a large scale within the Earth itself. Suppose that due to some reasons unknown to us, the earth's axis suddenly shifted sharply inside our planet and made a turn around the center of the globe by 90 degrees. What changes will behind this incredible phenomenon displacement of the earth's axis? Under the influence of tropical heat, the eternal snows will begin to melt and, now surrounding the Northern and south poles; melt waters will flood large areas and, with their powerful pressure, will, as it were, “support” the rivers that are currently flowing in the northern and southern directions, causing them to flow backward; Whole mountains of ice seem to come to life, wake up from a centuries-old sleep and crawl along the earth's surface; new rivers and lakes will then cover the Earth. In a word, a great change will take place. Polar bears, unaccustomed to tropical heat, with a wild howl will seek refuge from the scorching rays of the sun in vain. On the other hand, arctic severe frost will cover the territory of India. In desperation, wild animals of this once hot country will rush about. The polar night will envelop India for six long months. Here they will no longer see the Sun at its zenith. Frost is here vegetable world. The Indian Ocean will turn into the Arctic Sea, its waters will be covered with a thick layer of ice, and ocean steamers will no longer cross their expanses. And the current polar seas will turn into boundless oceans and will be able to become one of the routes of communication between the Old and New Worlds. Let us now mentally assume the opposite phenomenon. Let, for example, the earth's axis, while maintaining its unchanged position inside the earth, turn in space by 90 degrees and coincide with the plane of the earth's orbit. Then the Earth will not move, but roll along its orbit, facing the Sun all the time with only one, for example, the North Pole. Such an approximately progressive movement, as if lying on its side, is currently being performed in the solar system by only one planet - Uranus. Its axis is tilted only at an angle of 7° to the plane of its orbit. Some planets solar system(eg Mercury) move in their orbit so that they face the Sun all the time with only one side. But Mercury does not roll, but moves in an orbit (just as the Moon revolves around the Earth), making at the same time full turn around the axis and around the sun.
Photo of the starry sky on the Earth's axis with an exposure of 24 minutes. It is difficult to judge how long our planet could maintain such a position, but one thing is clear that in this case in the Northern Hemisphere, facing the Sun, there will be eternal summer and an eternally hot day. There will never be precipitation in the form of snow and the rivers will never freeze. All heat-loving birds and animals will move to this hemisphere. Over time, its flora and fauna will change. The animal and plant world will gradually adapt to life in the conditions of an eternal day under the rays of the ever-scorching Sun. On the other, opposite, hemisphere of our planet at the same time it will be forever Cold winter and eternally dark night. A ray of sunshine will never penetrate here, and such cold will rage that the worst frosts of Verkhoyansk will seem like a thaw. Under such temperature conditions, of course, the entire animal and plant world will disappear. All this hemisphere will represent one solid cemetery, bound by severe frost. If we assume that the earth's axis, for some unknown reason, while maintaining its position inside the Earth, will lose the stability of its direction in space and will occupy different positions relative to the plane of the earth's orbit, even more amazing changes should occur on our planet. Then the points of the earth's poles, occupying the same position on the surface of the Earth, will simultaneously constantly change their direction relative to our daylight. Under these conditions, those conditional lines that we call parallels and meridians; the division of the surface of the globe into cold and hot zones will lose its significance; then there will be no such concepts as tropical countries and polar regions; then the climatic conditions of various zones on the surface of our planet will change chaotically. Due to such instability of the direction of the earth's axis, the correct alternation of winter and summer, the correct change of day and night will be disturbed; our idea of ​​days will be broken; we will not be able to determine when a new day begins, and the day itself will cease to be the natural phenomenon to which we are accustomed. These are the unpleasant and terrible phenomena on Earth that could take place if the earth's axis suddenly began to occupy a different direction in space, or if it lost the stability of its position relative to the plane of the earth's orbit.

The importance of a stable direction in the space of the earth's axis

But, as we already know, the earth's axis quite strictly preserves the stability of its direction in space, all the time it moves in general parallel to itself. We are, therefore, forever freed from the transformations described above, and we now fully understand what an exceptionally important significance for the life of the Earth is the invariance of the direction in space of its axis of rotation. Now, without a doubt, we can assert that in various geological epochs, certain movements of the earth's poles and continents on our planet probably took place.

After a powerful earthquake (8.8 magnitude) that happened on February 27 in Chile, there were reports in the press that such strong shocks deflected the Earth's axis of rotation in a few minutes. But scholars are divided on this point. The Pravda.Ru correspondent was told more about the axis shift in Russian Institute radio navigation and time (RIRIV).

Indeed, the recent earthquake in Chile was very powerful - it had a magnitude of 8.8! Only the fact that its epicenter was located far from the populated area and, moreover, quite deep, saved the world from many human casualties. A few days after the “violence of the elements,” some scientists made statements that such a strong shaking could change the tilt of the axis of our entire planet.

NASA geophysicist Richard Gross says: "If our calculations are correct, the Earth's own axis has shifted by about 8 centimeters." Here it is important to note that we are talking not about the tilt of the axis of rotation. "The own axis characterizes not how much the Earth is tilted," adds Gross, "but how it is balanced."

It can be explained like this. Our planet, as you know, is not an ideal sphere. Firstly, the globe is slightly flattened from the poles - its exact geometric model should be established by the GOCE mission sent into space a few years ago.

Secondly, the distribution of mass across the planet is not uniform, if only because part of its surface is oceans, and part is continents. In the northern hemisphere, there is noticeably more land than in the southern, and in the western - less than in the east. The proper axis of the Earth is the axis on which this inhomogeneous ball of the planet is "balanced", and the true axis of rotation oscillates around it.

This is what, it turns out, meant Richard Gross and his colleagues. The Chilean earthquake was so powerful that it caused the movement of colossal volumes of matter. This, in turn, changed the distribution of mass over the surface of the planet - not too noticeable, but quite enough for the "balancing axis" of the globe to deviate slightly.

However, this "shift" is not the first and not the last. The Earth's own axis is slightly shifted by itself, without any catastrophic events, as a result of slow geological processes. For example, the last ice age ended about 11 thousand years ago, and huge masses of ice disappeared from the surface of the continents and oceans. This not only led to a redistribution of mass, but also "unloaded" the earth's mantle, allowing it to assume a shape close to spherical. This process has not yet been completed, and as a result of it, the axis on which our planet "balances" naturally shifts by about 10 centimeters per year.

But it is worth saying that if Gross's calculations are correct, then as a result of that earthquake, the axis shifted in just a few minutes by an amount almost the same as in a year. Impressive!

However, so far these are only theoretical assumptions and, as they say, speculation. Nobody carried out practical measurements, although the group of Richard Gross intends to deal with this issue in the near future. And the key measurement tool should be ... the global positioning system GPS.

GPS has been used by scientists for years to track seasonal and annual changes in the Earth's rotation. Thanks to these precise observations, it is shown that it is influenced by tides and winds, currents in the oceans and in the molten bowels of the planet.

These factors have a periodic effect, on different time scales - weekly, annual, and seasonal. For example, the average day in January is about 1 millisecond longer than in June.

Against this regular background, the Chilean earthquake should look like jump- and Richard Gross and colleagues are very hopeful to detect this jump in the data of the monitoring system. The scientist says: "We take the GPS data on the rotation of the Earth, subtract the characteristic periodic influences of tides, winds, currents, and so on, and then we have the data caused by the earthquake."

By the way, shortly after the catastrophe - along with the screaming headlines about the "shift of the earth's axis" - some media noted that the duration of the day as a result of this event was reduced by 1.26 microseconds. This is true, but this value does not represent anything dangerous or sensational. It is negligible compared to the normal variation in the length of the day caused by tides or ocean currents. Their influence is a thousand times stronger.

In a word, we have to wait for the final results of the work of the group of Richard Gross. The displacement of the Earth's own axis as a result of earthquakes has not yet been investigated by anyone. Gross himself first tried to do this in 2004 after a magnitude 9.1 earthquake in Sumatra, but then did not get any significant results.

According to the scientist, the location of the epicenter of the earthquake is to blame for this: despite its impressive power, its location near the equator did not allow it to exert sufficient influence on the rotation of the planet. But now the situation is different - most likely, the effect of the Chilean earthquake will be more noticeable.

Is it possible to make such calculations using radio navigation? Pravda.Ru was told at the Russian Institute of Radio Navigation and Time (RIRT):

“Of course, such studies using radio navigation are possible. Specifically, such calculations are not carried out in our institution, but some foreign colleagues have been practicing them for quite a long time.

The use of a GPS network throughout the planet allows monitoring of the Earth's rotation with high accuracy. Changes in characteristics also affect the phase of signals coming from satellites and the time it takes them to get from orbit.

Perhaps it is these data that will allow American specialists to achieve results in their research. That is, to make calculations, how balanced the earth's axis is, or whether its imbalance is noted.

The Axis of the World is an imaginary line stretching from the North Pole of Heaven to the South Pole and passing through a certain point on Earth. The myth of rotation of the Earth's axis is connected with the Axis of the World. Fantasists attribute this phenomenon to reality and assure that in ancient times the axis of the planet changed its position. As a result of this, allegedly, the climate on Earth changed, and all sorts of cataclysms occurred.

Plato once wrote about the rotation of the Earth's axis. His stories about the rotation of the Earth's axis and the fact that as a result of this the waters of the Nile did not flow back, at all times excited the imagination of historians and other researchers.

In fact, here we are faced with the phenomenon of precession - the clockwise movement of the Earth's axis of rotation (see Fig. 3). The astronomical period of rotation is about 25750 years (according to modern data). In ancient times, this period was called "Platon's year" and was defined as follows: " about 26,000 years, during which the pole of the celestial equator makes a full circle around the pole of the ecliptic» .

All ancient cartography, geography and mythology are tied to the period of precession. The meaning of this link is as follows. Svarogov (Platonov, zodiac) year consists of 12 eras (zodiac signs), each of 2145 years. For 1 era, the Axis of the World turns by 30 degrees, that is, the movable Center of the World moves around the circle of precession and ends up in another place. Today - in the tail of Ursa Minor. The Axis of the World rotates by 10 degrees in 715 astronomical years. By 1 degree - respectively, for 71.5 years (Fig. 1).

Rice. 1. Precession of the Earth's axis of rotation.

But there is also a religious analogue of this system. It has a precession period of 24,000 years. The duration of 1 era is 2000 years. 10 degrees in 666 years. 1 degree - in 70 years.

On this mathematics - astronomical and religious - ancient maps were formed, as well as the mythology that accompanied them. Astronomical mythology is fairy tales, sagas, legends. Religious mythology is the Abrahamic religions, the bible. At the rate of 666, (6) years, strictly in the religious canon, Byzantium - Istanbul was “founded”.

Since the original views on cartography were built on the basis of the rotation of the constellations around the Center of the Sky, the movement of the Axis of the World was represented as a rotation. One end of the Axis of the World is fixed in the Center of the World, and the other is free to rotate at the speed of precession (Fig. 2).

Rice. 2. Displaying a map of the Sky on the surface of the Earth (with its center in Constantinople-Istanbul, ca. 1,000 BC).

However, modern views have turned the map of the Earth into a flat space stretched over a plane (sheet of paper) or a sphere (globe). The reflection of the sky has disappeared. Therefore, the Axis of the World turned out to be aligned with the meridian, and its rotation occurs on the surface of the planet in the direction of the East.

And finally, the direction of movement of the Axis of the World also has two options. rotational movement Axis of the World according to astronomical concepts (when we look at the North Star) occurs counterclockwise. This rotation, imprinted on the Earth, becomes a mirror, that is, clockwise (if you look at the Earth from the Sky).

Rice. 3. Variant of the Axis of the World of the 1st millennium BC. - Pulkovo meridian.

The same applies to the direction of movement of the Axis of the World with the modern representation of the map of the World. The astronomical reference is carried out in the direction of the east, and the religious one has different variants, including to the west. For this reason, under the pressure of the Catholic Church, the Zero Meridian moved from Pulkovo (Fig. 3) to the west - first to Paris, and then to Greenwich.

Pyramids of Giza

The pyramids of Giza are strange monuments, the explanation of which has not yet been given. The objectives of this work do not include the study of the pyramids, but some cartographic data will still have to be voiced.

An indicative line forms the direction from the central pyramid of the complex (Khefren's pyramid) through the Great Sphinx at an angle of 102 degrees (Fig. 4), counted from the northern direction.

Counting from the year 5509, and based on the calculation, 71.5 years per 1 degree, we get that the turn by 102 degrees took place in 1785. In this year, the future builder of the Egyptian pyramids, a mythological character named Napoleon Buonaparte, began military service with the rank of junior lieutenant of artillery. And in St. Petersburg - a city located at the northern end of the same Axis of the World - in 1785 the City Duma was created.

If we use the religious chronology, then by 102 degrees from 5509 at 66, (6) years the Axis of the World turned by 1 degree in 1290. This year is interesting because astronomical and religious chronology converge in it, and also, according to religious beliefs, in this year the Jews were expelled from England by decree of Edward I.

For example, let us recall a similar mythologeme of such an “exile”: in 1492, the “expulsion of the Jews from Spain” also took place; as a result, Columbus “discovered” America that year.

Rice. 4. Pyramids of Giza: Pyramid of Khafre and alley to the Great Sphinx (photo from space).

The word "sphinx" literally means "axis", "spin" (as in Russian back). Most likely, the word compound and in former times was constructed from two words - "spin" (rotation) and "ax" (axis), that is, "axis rotation".

We also recall that in the year 7000 from the creation of the world julian calendar it was supposed to be the end of the world. As we have shown, the religious chronology wandered in the dark. On the one hand, 1 degree accounted for 66.6 years. On the other hand, 70 years (70 pillars, 70 Alexandria of Macedon, 70 books of the Bible, etc.). It is quite possible that the angle of rotation of the Axis of the World, equal to 102 degrees, was obtained from the arithmetic mean of these two values.

And if so, then Great Sphinx guards the direction to the end of the world. In this case, the pyramids fix religious dogma, and religion is a relatively young phenomenon. That is, the pyramids were built in the Middle Ages.

Rice. 5. Pyramids of Egypt on Fra Mauro's map (1450).

Fra Mauro's map of the world also confirms our version. It was created ca. 1450 (or 1459), i.e. 40 years before the date of the end of the world (1492). This map already has the pyramids of Giza, and they are signed. But there are no pyramids on earlier maps.

Positions of the Axis of the World

The astronomically correct position of the Axis of the World is such that this line is fixed with its fixed end in Moscow, and the movable end moves clockwise from Tver in the direction of Vladimir, Ryazan, Tula, Kaluga.

Zodiac eras have the following dates:

• 8728 - 6582 BC. - the era of Cancer (Golden Age);
• 6582 - 4436 BC. - the era of Gemini (the zone of the constellation Perun - Bootes);
• 4436 - 2289 BC. - the era of Taurus (the zone of the constellation Dazhbog - Veronica's Hair);
• 2289 - 144 BC. - the era of Aries (the zone of the constellation Bogumir - the Lesser Lion);
• 144 BC - 2002 - the era of Pisces (the zone of the constellation Rurik-Roerich - Perseus);

The creation of the world - the event of the beginning of the countdown, when astronomical markers (the fixed center of the Northern sky, the position of the axis of rotation of the Earth and the star Arcturus) stood on one line strictly to the north - took place in the middle of the era of Gemini (5509 BC).

The end of the world, scheduled for 2002, meant the rotation of the axis by 105 degrees relative to the position on the day of the creation of the world. This rotation included 15 degrees - half of the era of Gemini (after all, the axis was in the center of the era) and three subsequent eras, each 30 degrees of Heaven.

The former date - 7000 years from the date of the Creation of the world - was calculated as a turn of 105 degrees, but this was a religious calculation: 1 degree 66, (6) years. It turned out 1492.

The astronomical date of the end of the world was based on the calculation of 71.5 years per 1 degree to rotate the same 105 degrees. It turned out 2002.

Each era has its own mythology and its own characters. Their interpretation, sometimes, generates errors. So, the wrong interpretation of the Axis of the World and its rotation gave rise to the myth of the "living" "Scandinavian" Rurik (Erik, etc.) and the foundation of Russia (England, etc.) by him:

There is a widespread version about the "Scandinavian" Rurik, who allegedly came to Russia from the west in 862, and the official history of Russia allegedly begins with him.

According to the dating of the "Royal Annals", in 928 Harald puts Eric as the supreme king over the brothers, and in this year England was allegedly officially founded.

In fact, the time of Rurik is really the year 928. The phenomenon of Rurik-Erik is the rotation of the Axis of the World by 90 degrees, counting from the day of the Creation of the world (5509 BC). The discrepancy between the dates is caused by an incorrect interpretation of the chronology: astronomical reckoning is based on the fact that the rotation of the Axis of the World by 1 degree takes place in 71.5 years, the church one - a turn of 1 degree takes place in 66.6 years.

But in the church tradition there are also options - 70, 71, 72 years. From these discrepancies, different characters appeared in different years, but with similar names and/or functions.

In particular, at the rate of 1 degree in 71 years, the Axis of the World turned 90 degrees in 882 - at that time Prophetic Oleg, Prince of Novgorod, began to rule in Kyiv. The cue is the Axis of the World. That is, Oleg literally became the owner of the axis. And Novgorod itself was founded by Prince Bravlin II in 790, the date of which is obtained and the calculation of 1 degree for 70 years. An example of folk wisdom is presented in the riddle formulated on this occasion. Vologda region(19th century): " Peas crumbled into 70 roads; no one can collect - neither the priests, nor the deacons, nor us fools" (stars).

And from the calculation of 1 degree in 66, (6) years, it turns out that the Axis of the World turns 90 degrees in 6000 years, 180 degrees in 12000 years. This is a "pure" church chronology. These dates are important for understanding Plato's tales of Atlantis, in which the author mentions Ancient Egypt, built by the Hyperboreans and Atlanteans.

Counting the year 6000 from 5509 BC, we get a significant religious date - 491 years. This year the Armenian Church separated from the Christian Church of Byzantium.
