How did they learn about Egypt in Russia?

Perhaps, it is difficult to find among the films something better cognitively than the Polish film "Pharaoh", filmed back in 1965

“Turn your heart to books ...
Look, there is nothing higher than books! ..
If the scribe has an office in the capital
then he will not be a beggar there ...
Oh if I could make you
love books more than your mother,
if I could show them their beauty in front of you!
This is better than any other job.
When the scribe is still a child, he is already welcomed.
He's sent to do errands
and he doesn't come back to put on the apron.
I have never seen a sculptor as a messenger or a goldsmith sent,
but I saw a coppersmith at work at the furnaces of his stove.
His fingers were like crocodile skin
and it smelled worse than fish roe. "
(The teaching of Akhtoy, son of Duauf, to his son Piopi).
19th Chester Beatty Papyrus, British Museum

History great civilizations. The history of Ancient Egypt is one of those topics that always interest the reader to a greater or lesser extent. There is no more pointless topic in terms of real benefits and benefits, but ... interesting. And if it is interesting, then it is necessary. So the publication on the VO website of several articles about Akhenaten, Ramses and the boats of the ancient Egyptians caused another surge of interest in this country and its great culture.

"Write about the writing of Ancient Egypt", "write about the finds in the tombs", "write ..." - these are all appeals from the readers of the site, who are interested in learning more about all this. Well, all these topics are really very interesting. However, our today's material, as well as its continuation, we will devote to the story of how the inhabitants of Russia in the distant past began to get acquainted with the culture of Egypt.

That is, how did they learn about Egypt in Russia? Who are Russians and when did they visit this country for the first time? And what written compositions did he leave behind for us?

Eastern Embassy of Ivan the Terrible

And it so happened that none other than Tsar Ivan the Terrible sent an embassy to the Middle East, in which there was also a merchant from Smolensk Vasily Poznyakov. Moreover, the embassy was supposed not only to represent the royal person in the East, but also "the customs in the countries of those writing." That is, it was also a kind of ethnographic expedition. The result of it was the book: "The Walking of the Merchant Vasily Poznyakov" - the first such book that told about Egypt.

I wonder if Vasily Pozdnyakov and others like him brought you any souvenirs from Egypt? Well, at least something small. For example, this is how this faience amulet of Ra-Horakti, only 2,8 cm high. 664-630. BC e. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

The embassy left Moscow "in the summer of 7066" ("from the creation of the world", that is, in 1558 of our chronology) and went through Lithuania "to Constantinople", and then to Alexandria, where it reached only a year later! From Alexandria, the embassy moved to Cairo, where it stayed for four days. Then again there was Alexandria, after which the ambassadors for some reason went to inspect the Sinai Peninsula.

Another amulet is the goddess Tauret, the patroness of women in labor. Height 5 cm. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

That is, Poznyakov was not in Egypt for long, no more than two weeks. But in his "Voyages" he spoke about the conquest of Egypt by the Turks, and about its nature, and cities:

"And the city was stone and fell apart, only one gate is intact ...".

But this alabaster bowl is just very ancient. Belongs to the early Dynastic period, the era of the reign of the II dynasty, approx. 2750-2649 BC e. Saqqara, Tomb 2322: Egyptian Antiquities Service / Cybella Excavation, 1910–1911. Material: travertine (Egyptian alabaster). Dimensions: height 9,4 cm; diameter 23,6 cm. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

"Bestseller of the XNUMXth century"

In Russia, the book was eventually attributed to the merchant Trifon Korobeinikov, who 25 years after Poznyakov also visited the countries of the East and wrote several more chapters to Pozdnyakov's book. The result of this collective work was a manuscript book that has survived to our time in more than two hundred manuscript lists and forty printed editions. That is, the interest in it among the then Russians was great to the extreme!

It was only 300 years later that it became clear that Korobeinikov's Travels was actually Pozdnyakov's work. Moreover, six handwritten lists of precisely his "Voyages" have come down to us. So, it is not difficult to compare who and what exactly wrote in them. For example, Korobeinikov has a description of a bird - "strufokamila, or stucco", which is absent from Pozdnyakov:

“And her head is like a duck's, and her feet have hooves ... And her legs are as long as those of a crane, and her wings are like leather; but he walks on the ground and flies little. "

This is how he saw an African ostrich ...

Sarcophagus of Iineferti's mummy. New kingdom. Dynasty XIX. The era of the reign of Ramses II. OK. 1279-1213 BC e. Sarcophagus, characteristic of the Egyptians of the anthropoid shape.

Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el Medina, Tomb of Sennejem, Egyptian Antiquities Service / Maspero Excavation, 1885-1886 Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

But if the Smolensk merchant Vasily Poznyakov managed to spend only some eleven days in Egypt, then the Kazan merchant “Vasily Yakovlev, nicknamed“ Gagara ”, had been here for fourteen weeks, and he looked out for nothing more than an example and, accordingly, much more. just wrote.

"Crocodile is a malicious beast"

In 1634, from Kazan, he went first to Astrakhan, from there to Tiflis, from there to Erzurum, Jerusalem and Egypt. Like all other Russian travelers, he carefully wrote down everything he saw.

Suffering from the "burning sensation of the sun and thirst for water," he walked through the desert and finally reached Cairo. He also turned out to be the first traveler who described the famous obelisk from Heliopolis - "12 fathoms" (about 25 meters in height), and indicated that "the signature is written on it - the pharaoh's name". That is, he was convinced that it was the letters that covered the strange images. But even after more than a hundred years, the German professor Witte considered Egyptian obelisks to be "creations of nature", and the hieroglyphs carved on them were the result of "work" ... of special snails.

In the same tomb, such a figurine of ushabti was found. Ushabti translates as "I'm here!" So this figure should have answered after it ... would come to life in the "next world." The gods assigned work to her master, but the ushebti replied, "I'm here!" and worked in his place. With 365 ushebti you didn't have to worry about anything! Interestingly, this figurine is made of Nile silt and dried in the sun. Similarly, today the Egyptians make copies of exactly the same ushabti and sell them to tourists. From the same material. Only now their forms are modern, elastic. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Then Gagara was not too lazy to make a long walk on the hot sand just to see the pyramids up close. And he saw! And he called them "strong mountains." That was how they made an impression on him.

In the Nile River, he saw a crocodile and described it as follows:

“... And his head is like a catfish, and his legs are like a man's, and the nature is the same, and the tail of that beast is like a catfish, and in appearance that beast is like a snake ... If he overtakes a man, then he devours of death. The skin on it is like fish scales, and the size of a crocodile is two fathoms. "

By the way, this is the first description of this "beast" in Russian literature!

Alexey Mikhailovich's embassy

And then another embassy to the eastern countries was sent and "according to the Tsar Tsarev and the Grand Duke Alexei Mikhailovich of All Russia" on June 10, 1649.

Among the ambassadors was Arseny Sukhanov, the son of an impoverished nobleman, who was "poor and thin, dragged between the courtyard on Tula," learning book wisdom. He obviously did not read the teachings of Akhtoy, but he did read our chroniclers, who insisted that "as if a ship cannot be made without nails, so is a monk without reverence for books." And he was engaged in all sorts of "bookish wisdom" Sukhanov so successfully that he managed to master the Greek language, both ancient, that is, classical, and living, colloquial. He also knew Polish and even a little Latin. And it was useful to him, because he spent more than ten years in his wanderings. And at the same time he carried out important state orders. He was in Georgia, Moldova, Asia Minor, visited the valley of the Tigris and Euphrates, Palestine, visited the banks of the Nile, and also in Greece and on the islands of the Greek archipelago - that is, he was able to see enough by that time.

This is how the hieroglyphic inscription on the Khonsu sarcophagus looks like. New kingdom. Dynasty XIX. The era of the reign of Ramses II. OK. 1279-1213 BC e. Height 188 cm. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

And already in Constantinople, he began to buy and export to Russia "all sorts of Greek and Russian books and drawing sheets of different lands and all sorts of tetrati".

Chelobitnaya Sukhanova, filed with Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich on May 9, 1649 before leaving for the East with a request to give money for the trip. Illustration from the book by N. Petrovsky and A. Belov. Country of Big Hapi. Leningrad. Detlit. 1955 p.21

Sukhanov stayed in Egypt for a month and a half and described the local attractions in great detail.

"Yes, inside the city of Alexandria, without number, there are many stone pillars, high and medium and small, marble from a single stone, carved, round, and not composed",

- he wrote about what he saw.

Mastaba Raemkaya. The ancient kingdom. Dynasty 2446. OK. 2389-1907 BC e. Saqqara, north of the Djoser pyramid complex, Egyptian Antiquities Service / Cybella Excavation, 1908–2381 Mastaba Raemkaya was originally built and decorated for an official named Neferyretnes, whose name and titles can still be seen on the false door. Either Neferyretnes fell out of favor, or his family died out, and there was no one to take care of his burial. The reuse of the tomb for Raemkai was most likely carried out by order of the pharaoh and around XNUMX BC. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

And even "Cleopatra's Needle" was the first to describe ...

And here is what he wrote about hieroglyphs:

“At those gates ... there is a wondrous pillar made of a single stone, carved, four-sided, about twelve fathoms in height, and on it letters [letters] are carved in a circle from bottom to top, no one knows what: sabers, bows, fish, human heads, hands, feet, axes, and much is impossible to know, visible and invisible, but they say that some wisdom has been perpetrated. And the other is not far from that, the same is word for word, in quality and quantity, just fell down, lies on its side. "

This pillar is the famous "Cleopatra's Needle", which later turned out to be in London.

And these are the bas-reliefs of its northern wall. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

Sukhanov wrote that

"Before this, no one has been here from Moscow, but only under Tsar Ivan Vasilievich there was an ambassador",

that is, he knew about Pozdnyakov's embassy. But he most likely did not hear anything about Vasily Gagar, since he traveled at his own peril and risk.

Painted figures of the bas-relief of Raemkaya's mastaba. The inscriptions call Raemkaya (the name means "the sun is my life force") "the bodily son of the pharaoh", and he could well be a real prince, although we do not know exactly from which pharaoh he came. His offices were predominantly religious in nature, but one title indicates a connection with coronation ceremonies, indicating that Raemkai was at least sometimes close to the person of the pharaoh. The beautiful reliefs that adorn the tomb include, among other things, scenes of catching birds, cutting meat, baking bread and brewing, as well as a large hunting scene in the steppe with lasso and dogs. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

He also saw the pyramids in the vicinity of Cairo and wrote about them as follows:

"The graves of the ancient pharaohs, worthy of a great miracle ... They are very large, like mountains made, wide from below, and pointed from above."

That is, he did not doubt their purpose. Not that one firefighter from the regional center of Mokshan, Penza region, who somehow in the 90s published an article in one of our regional newspapers, where he argued that the pyramids are “breakwaters from the flood! At the same time, he believed that there were only three of them, in Giza. And about the fact that there are more than 118 pyramids in Egypt ... I did not know!

Maati is depicted sitting in front of the sacrifice table with a vessel for the sacred oil in his left hand. A true masterpiece of the early relief art of the Middle Kingdom. The inscriptions demonstrate the close bond that tied together the rulers and their entourage in Thebes at that time. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

In general, Sukhanov's trip was very useful both for the state and for himself. Because he was then put in charge of the Moscow Printing House - a position at that time very prestigious and responsible.

“Turn your heart to books ...
Look, there is nothing higher than books! ..
Even 500 years ago, they understood that education is the basis of everything, he did not say about any gods, but about books, and now, instead of schools, buildings of a religious cult are being built and made of a herd of people.

[Korsar4]

I disagree. It is not the church that makes people a flock.
Conveyor in a broad sense. And the absence of living deeds and living words.

[Xlor]

So this very "lack of living deeds and living words" just turns us into a herd. And these words and deeds should be said and done by the church. And she, the church, is only busy collecting money from believers ...

[Korsar4]

There are people in the church too. Different. And there are some very interesting ones. In general, this is a sample of us.

[Pessimist22]

F. Engels's article "On the history of early Christianity" based on Marxist philosophy. Engels describes Christianity as a religion of slaves in the truest sense of the word - Christianity arose and was popular among the lower classes of society, primarily slaves, and reflected the mood and aspirations of this environment.
F. Nietzsche's criticism of Christianity, for whom the Christian, the intimidated slave of God and his environment, is opposed to the free Superman.
I agree with you, slaves should be slaves, and free people, free, and only education can give freedom of thought.

[Korsar4]

Freedom of thinking can give a lot.

I like the words from the fairy tale "The Wisdom of Cormac":

“I was silent in the crowd,
I spoke with people ... ".

some kind of skewed consciousness in Shpakovsky: alabaster products are of interest to him, and complex diorite products, which are abundant in Egyptian museums, he does not mention in his articles, it is as if the fisherman only caught minnows and threw pike perch and asp back into the river.
-Petit stripped down, some kind, a piece was ripped out and presented here.
Who were the rulers of Egypt? From the 13th century Egypt was ruled by the Mamelukes. I have already cited photos of the Mamelukes and they are quite white people who are very similar to the Russians.

But then why on all sorts of frescoes and sculptures (some) we see the half-Negroid rulers of Egypt? Probably because these are English forgeries.
But the ears of Memnon with broken faces, why are the faces of these statues broken? Is it because these were the faces of Russian people (I will not say Europeans: this definition does not correspond to reality)

a little philology.
Everyone knows such an ornamental houseplant Aloe. The habitat is south, Mediterranean i.e. those lands on which, according to the OI, there have never been Russians. But what is scarlet?
-Scarlet-scarlet plant with red / scarlet flowers, as well as at some moments due to lack of moisture, the green aloe leaves look like this.

Well, in what language is this plant named? Latin? Nonsense.
-Nile river, this is silt-in Russian.
Actually, the peculiarities of the Nile River are the annual floods of the river during periods of rains with the removal of fertile silt to the banks, hence the name.
There is also the Ili river in Kazakhstan, this is also from silt, a muddy river - all in Russian.

The devil only knows when, smart people decided not to translate proper names, place names, etc. At most, they take on a new form.
The French say Pari and you and I are Paris. The Ukrainian language does not provide for calling Pushkin - Garmatkin (from harmat - cannon).
Also, one should not get carried away with amateur philology, for too seductive the elevation of the Russians to the Etruscans brings us further to the trusses. Portugal to footcloths, and the legendary leader of the ancient Malays - Stepunaraz, to Stepan Razin.

[Bar1]

Quote: A. Privalov

The devil only knows when, smart people decided not to translate proper names, toponyms and

yes, no, of course, these "smart" people called linguists (for example, the ever-memorable Zaliznyak with its fake "Novgorod letters" and amateur linguistics) are the same distortions of history as the "primary historians" Manifon and Champollion. If the name of the mountains, rivers exists, for example
-The Himalayas are Winter Laays, the winter home
-Altai-Gal / Gali Tai, Gali peaks.
-Karpaty-Humpbacks
-Tatra-Tartar mountains
-Cordillera-Horde mountains
-England-anti Galia
-Italy, Antalya, Atlantic-anti Thalia -stretched peninsula, ocean.
-Pamir-Roof of the World and it is quite official, i.e. This is the World, and the world is in Russian.
-Ganges / Tagan / Neglinka - i.e. gan from the word drive, it is quite Russian.

As for Pushkin-Garmatov, this is nonsense, it is not the Ukrainians who say this, but independent, undercut Ukrainian linguists, and you should not repeat this nonsense behind them.

The fact that after the conquest or seizure of the World by Christians, a massive rewriting of history took place along with the creation of new peoples and new languages ​​for them, this is already obvious and can be seen first of all by the example of this new "Ukraine", which is emerging before our eyes, the Jews are at the head of the new Ukraine, and not Slavs, and so it was everywhere, that is. Ukraine is a Jewish state, and Europe is the Jewish part of the world with Europeans / Jews, it is also obvious.
The distortion of the true meaning of words by Christians is observed everywhere.
-Bar-mess
-Barbarya is the entire north and east of Africa -varvaria
-Kolo / Sun-cal
-Gan_don-Don River, became a condom.
-Portulia-Gali Port
- Etruscans are Russian
and this was proved in the 19th century by scientists linguists Chertkov, Volansky, ie Etruscan texts that have come down to us are read in Slavic, why are these types of official "historians" not taking this into account?
-Orde-order in medicine has become ordinary, i.e. simplified.
-Khanna-name from Khan became faceless Anna
-Elena-Helena / Helena -from Galia
-Paris - originally this city was called Lutetia Parisian, according to the OI it was built by the Gali, but the very name Lutetia from the Slavic tribe of Lutichi says that the city was built by the Slavs, but like the French distorted everything, some kind of stupid bet.

I call these words vulgarity.

[BAI]

And then how to translate the name of the Russian rivers Sablya and Voblya?
By the way, linguists conduct just normal research:

It is also interesting that in modern Syria there are about a dozen names of the area in which Russians are mentioned. For example, in Aleppo: خربة الروس (Khirbat ar Rūs) and رأس الروس (Ra's ar Rūs). In Damascus: تلول الروس (Tulūl ar Rūs) and ظهور الروس (Z̧uhūr ar Rūs). In Homs: الروس تلال بين (Tilāl Bayn ar Rūs). In Al-Hasakah: وادي أم الروس (Wādī Umm ar Rūs).

A series of similar toponyms located near the runway of the famous Khmeimim airbase (Basil Al-Assad airport) is also very curious. There we see the hill قلعة الروس (Qal'at ar Rūs). Which literally means "Russian fortress". And that, in turn, stands on the bank of the river نهر الروس (Nahr ar Rūs) literally “The River of Russians”, behind the mouth of this river there is a sea bay called ميناء الروس (Mina 'ar Rūs) Literally “Russian port”. All these names in this area appeared long before the beginning of the modern presence of the Russian military there.

Here we will refrain from asserting who exactly these Russians were.

And there are also rivers Ublya in the Belgorod region and Transcarpathia. It is difficult to translate hydronyms with an age of several millennia. But many rivers are translated in Sanskrit. And about Sabl there is a Shpaga village in the Nizhny Novgorod region.
And if on the merits of the question, then I will say, from the experience of communicating with the Arabs during my studies, I will say that for them the Russian language is quite easy, they quickly learn it in comparison with the same Germans or Anglo-Saxons.

Well, what a genetic fluctuation has occurred, that such a person as Bar - the Bar Bringing Knowledge was born.
Thank you, you made my day for today. It has been a long time since I laughed like that, I even wanted to continue your series of revelations, but I decided that this kind of humor would be enough for my colleagues today.
I will only note the versatility and unpredictability of the Russian language, in which, it turns out, there are many completely different words denoting the same thing.
For example:
lai - house
tai - tops
liers are mountains, I believe that liers is a mountain.
"constricted peninsula" and "ocean" are denoted by the same word
pa - roof
and the name "Neglinka" does not come from the word "clay" but from the word "gang", that is, "to drive."
I would venture to suggest that the word "", that is, "pa-gang", in real Russian means a hijacked (moved down) roof.
It would be necessary to compile a complete dictionary of the Russian (sorry, Russian) language. However, it already turns out gorgeous. Check it out:

Tae liers - barks with pa.

I wrote this in pure Russian (Russian, of course) on the "top of the mountain - a house with a roof."
No, well, really, that's fine.

Gima is winter in Russia

Well, that's understandable. In winter, it is difficult to dig the earth, therefore hard work is called "gima-roy".
But there are disagreements with your colleagues abroad.
The British say that the Volga - from the English word "wall" - a wall. And on this basis, they believe that all of Eurasia belonged to them.
The Germans say that the name "Caspian" comes from the German Katze-piste - a cat's road and also on this basis they believe that the whole world was German.
And the French claim that when their civilized ancestors first came to the territory of the Slavs to carry culture and enlightenment, they found only one swamps with reeds (in French "reeds" - roseaux) and named their new possessions after these reeds. So all of Russia is just French reeds.
What do you think? Parry!

The British say that the Volga - from the English word "wall" - a wall.

when nonsense is not from the head, but from the trilobite (there is no head there), then there is absolutely no such category as meaning, as a concept.
Where is the Volga River and where are the British? How are they related to the Volga? Even the Germans on the Volga were not not like the Angles. And where is the letter g in the word ox, what would the Volga have turned out? And in general, the very meaning of the word ox is a shaft, and the shaft that is piled from above and to the river has the same relation as a trilobite to an elephant, even if a bunch of trilobites is piled, the elephant will not work.

That is, how did they learn about Egypt in Russia? Who are Russians and when first time in this country? And what written compositions did he leave behind for us?

Eastern Embassy of Ivan the Terrible
And it was so that none other than Tsar Ivan the Terrible sent an embassy to the Middle East,

It all started much earlier: in Russia they were extremely developed pilgrimages to the Holy Land bordering Egypt, and they began already in early days of Russian Christianity, i.e. from the 10-11 centuries, and reached the peak by the 12th century (then there was a decline).

Whole squads of pilgrims went out and, of course, they brought information about the Middle East.

The same mentioned by the author Vasily Gagara was not a traveler, but a pilgrim, who made a vow to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem after the early death of his wife and setbacks.

В Jerusalem attended a reception with Metropolitan Athanasius of Bethlehem.

20 декабря 1635 года arrived in Egypt, where he met with the Alexandrian patriarch Gerasim Spartaliot and received from him a letter to Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich. In Cairo and its environs, he examined Christian antiquities and the pyramids of the pharaohs, visited the Nile River.

[ee2100]

"German professor Witte considered the Egyptian obelisks" creations of nature ", and the hieroglyphs carved on them the result of" work "... of special snails." (c)
Hopefully not a historian.

[Undecim]

That is, how did they learn about Egypt in Russia? Who are Russians and when did they visit this country for the first time? And what written compositions did he leave behind for us?

The first information about Ancient Egypt began to penetrate into Russia with the adoption of Christianity. The biblical books contained historical data not only about Palestine, but also about the peoples,
faced by Israel and Judea, including the Egyptians. The facts reported by the Bible about the wars between the late Egyptian pharaohs and the late Babylonian kings for Syria and Palestine are very detailed.
The Byzantine chronicles, to which Russian chroniclers drew attention in connection with the determination of the place of Russia among other countries in world history, became the source of the most diverse information about Egypt in Ancient Rus. Many of these chronicles were translated into Old Russian. The most popular were the ancient chronicles of George Sinkell (VIII century), John Malala (VI century) and George Amartolus (IX century).
There are no reliable data on Russian visits to Egypt before the XNUMXth century. There are messages
in the Nikon Chronicle under the year 1001 that Vladimir sent his "guests" as ambassadors
to some countries, including Egypt, to see their lands and customs, but there is no information confirming this visit.
The first recorded visit to Egypt was around 1370. During his trip to the Middle East, the pilgrim Agrefeny from Smolensk visited Egypt.
In his "Walking" among the indications of the distance between different cities
on its way, one can find measurements of the length of the journey in days to Egypt and inside it between Cairo (Egupta) and Alexandria ("from Jerusalem to Gaza 3 days, from Gaza to Egupta 12 days; from Egupta to Alexandria 6 days ...") ...

In the early sixties of the XNUMXth century, during his second pilgrimage to
The Middle East (1461-1462) Egypt was visited by the monk Barsanophius from Kiev (or from near Kiev).
On the way from Constantinople through Crete and Cyprus, he got to Damiyat (modern Dumyat, Damietta)
and from there he went up the Nile to the "city of Egupet", that is, to Cairo. In Cairo Varsanophius
stayed for 6 weeks. During this time, he, no doubt, had a good survey of Cairo and its surroundings.
But his notes are extremely laconic. Its short, apparently, is interesting
the first description of Cairo and the Nile in Russian literature:
level place, under the mountain. A river from paradise flows under it - the golden-jet Nile, and another name
river Geon. And there are 2 miles across the city and 12 miles in length. " Neil appears to be
Varsanophius was especially struck, and he once again returns to him, calling him again
"Golden-jet": "The great river of gold-jet Nile flows from the noon country to
midnight in the White (ie, Mediterranean - NP) sea near Damiyaty. Varsanophius glimpse
reports that he saw a "fierce beast", that is, apparently, a crocodile, and is amazed by the date
palm trees on which, in his words, "the honey of the divia grows." Finally, Varsanofy
there is the first mention of the pyramids in Russia and the then widespread definition
their purpose as the granaries of Joseph. For Varsanofy, Old Cairo is "old Misyur".
He pinpoints the location of the pyramids against this part of the city (“the granaries of Joseph
Beautiful across the river beyond the Nile opposite the old Misurya ").

In 1522, the treasurer of the Grand Duke Mikhail Gireyev visited Egypt. He stayed
in "Egypt, the city of Velitz" is quite long - 40 days. But M. Gireev did not leave his notes
observations. Only a very small retelling has survived, made by someone else, his
narratives about contemporary Cairo.
And after that Pozdnyakov got to Egypt.

"German professor Witte considered the Egyptian obelisks" a creation of nature "a clear example of" enlightenment in Germany "

You are wrong to be ironic about "enlightenment in Germany." Inquire about the history of universal education. As for Karl Witte, who was born in 1800, today such people are called geeks. At the age of ten, he spoke and read fluently in English, French and Italian (in addition to his native German), also spoke ancient Greek and Latin, passed the matriculation exams and entered the University of Göttingen, and at the age of fourteen received his Ph.D. And what he thought about the Egyptian obelisks is a trifle. Great people can indulge in little eccentricities.

Thanks to the Site and you, I learned in more than ten years in a year

And gradually the tradition of visiting Egypt by the inhabitants of the best Russian minds and talents took shape.

Probably in the previous life
I stabbed both father and mother,
If in this one - the God who is present! -
So shamefully condemned to suffer.
Every day is mine, like a dead man, calm,
All things are strangers, not mine,
Only languor is completely unworthy,
All platonic love.
Ah, I would run, hide like a thief,
To Africa, as before, as then,
Lie under the royal sycamore tree
And never to rise.
The evening will cover me with velvet
And the moon will clothe in silver
And maybe the wind won't remember
That I once served in the bureau.

The search for an answer to the question, what is stable in this world of instability of a separate human life, when Russian history is boiling and ready to swirl in the merciless whirlpools. Anxious foreboding of things to come.

In 1911 he was a correspondent for the Apollo magazine, and in 1913 Gumilyov visited Egypt as the head of a scientific expedition from the Academy of Sciences.

After reading the very first lines - Nicolas Cage as an example of a Jew

Born January 7, 1964 in California, Long Beach. His parents August Floyd Coppola, professor of literature, and Joy Vogelsang, dancer and choreographer, named him Nicholas Kim Coppola. Nicholas has an older brother Christopher Coppola, an American director and producer. He grew up in a Catholic family. Nicholas has Italian roots on his father's side, as well as German and Polish on his mother's side.

What else? In his "instructions", according to the definition of races, he has only Slavic-Rus (I am tormented by vague doubts, is not Samsonov the author? ) and Jews. I sit here and think; Where should I, with my "pyramidal" skull, of Polish-German-Russian-Slovenian-Ukrainian origin, enroll ... In the Slavic-Rus, or in the Jews?

[Korsar4]

On my bookshelf, the volumes of Tyutchev and Gumilyov are side by side. And they do not quarrel at all.

[depressant]

That's it! And Ancient Egypt - it excites everyone with a clear argument in favor of the existence of a foreseeable historical eternity. Centuries passed, followed by millennia, some countries perished, others arose and developed, civilizations replaced each other, even the climate and coastlines of the seas changed, whole cities went under water! And the pyramids and the household items found in them as the results of human labor - here they are! And the main thing is the inscriptions on the steles, which contain not only evidence of the existence of certain rulers, but also wise sayings, which surprisingly turn out to be consonant with our postulates of wisdom. So did not our people go from there?

[Korsar4]

I do not know. He's some kind of a stranger. Ancient Greek mythology is close. Egyptian - no.
I like "Pharaoh" Prus very much. However, his "Doll" is also interesting. So it's probably the author.
As a child, I liked the book A Letter from a Greek Boy. About papyrus.
And almost everything. The rest hurt less.

[depressant]

Sergei, I'm not talking about that a bit.
After all, I also thought about the Egyptian burials and came to the conclusion that they are nothing more than "cans" that have preserved to this day the great achievement of mankind - the writing of ancient eras. On steles and scrolls. And the main characters in this whole story were not the pharaohs, but the architects who created these "canned food", as well as the scribes who meticulously recorded the life stories of the pharaohs, their orders, major events, noted scientific and technological achievements, composed literature for the people, in which captured simple but wise thoughts.
Here, for example:

The hot-tempered will never know the truth.
Even the mind of a fool puts up with the truth.
Good is good when it is true good.
If you do not correct the evil, it will double.
Greed is bottomless - you can fall into this abyss endlessly.

People knew such things even then.
And it worries me that the contents of the tombs have been taken to museums. Believe it or not, when someone threateningly declares in the news section that on occasion we are walking around Europe, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Louvre and other museums in Europe. And the fact that they zhahnut us - but what about the Hermitage, the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov Gallery, others?

[Korsar4]

When icons get into a museum, it is called "museum captivity."
A strange feeling that the Egyptian halls are somehow out of place.

[depressant]

Yes, I love museums, but sometimes there is a feeling of looting. That's right, this is when everything is in place.

[astra wild2]

Lyudmila Yakovlevna, these "rogues" are people of not high culture and are indifferent to them: Louvre or Prada. They may have never been to their local museum. In my youth, I was lucky enough to visit the Hermitage. I didn't have a chance to visit the Russian Museum: it was a day off and we ran to Eliseevsky. There was a funky cake. Already an adult and ate a lot of different things, and that cake still seems to me exceptional

[Senior seaman]

Quote from Korsar4

However, his "Doll" is also interesting

One of my favorite novels. If it were not for some of the author's passion for then fashionable science fiction, he could be put on a par with Anna Karenina.

[Korsar4]

A little more schematic, but the plot and embodiment are wonderful. A pill for idealism.

the Jew Gumilev would be better to read the Russian Tyutchev.

And since when is Gumilev a Jew? Or did you resort to your usual linguistic analysis - Gumi in Hebrew gum, Leva is a typical Hebrew name, and as a result of a puncture of a rubber product, Leva got a child?

[3x3zsave]

Lyova is a typical Hebrew name,
Oh wei! Taki Tolstoy - the first kibbutznik?

[Krasnodar]

No - Tolstoy is the mother of Russian kibbutzim

[Krasnodar]

Such a misfortune - everything is common, yet there is no property, and then they are excommunicated from the church
By the way, there was no such thing in the kibbutz - the committee of the poor and other things. Everyone received the same buns or equally suffered from their own worthlessness)).

Indeed, what are Orthodox Christians to do in Sinai? there is only the most ancient Christian monastery of St. Catherine, there is only a "burning bush", there are only tablets given to Moses :)))

There is no more meaningless topic in terms of real benefits and benefits

All more or less significant cities in the world are studded with obelisks, in especially important centers - original, but the theme is "meaningless". Just a coincidence"

[Knell wardenheart]

Curious, did not know about it) Thanks author!

[faterdom]

That is, he did not doubt their purpose. Not that one firefighter from the regional center of Mokshan, Penza region, who somehow in the 90s published an article in one of our regional newspapers, where he argued that the pyramids are “breakwaters from the flood! At the same time, he believed that there were only three of them, in Giza. And about the fact that there are more than 118 pyramids in Egypt ... I did not know!

So the anthropologist S. Drobyshevsky believes that as our life improves, we do not become smarter. Unfortunately.
Especially in a universal sense.
Maybe this firefighter sees through and through all the violations of the instructions for burning stoves and fireplaces, but otherwise he is such a "breakwater" and nothing more.

[depressant]

And, most importantly, colleague, what will be left of us in 100 thousand years. Well, okay, after 50)))

[Korsar4]

Good scale.
It was the British who erected monuments either 100 years after their birthday, or 20 years after their death.

Memory can remain either in descendants, or in the creation of a masterpiece, or in the working system that it served.

[depressant]

I will dwell on the graves for now. Experts say that after 200 years, ashes remain from coffins with bodies.

[Korsar4]

What is two hundred years for eternity?

[depressant]

Sergei, are you kidding me? )))
Bodies will go, dust to dust. And the buildings? Think about what our dwellings are made of. Sand-lime brick, but carelessly fired.
Experts say that in a thousand years nothing will be left of the bricks. This is taking into account the quality of our bricks and the cement mortar that holds them together. Everything will collapse, crumble into crumbs. After several millennia, concrete will also dissolve. Many cities will go under water. Archaeologists can only find traces of a rectangular shape in the location of sand and gravel, and this is already a sure sign that a civilization existed in this place. English scientist Jan Zalasevich from the University of Leicester believes that nature does not create anything like this.
But the main thing for me is which monuments in the form of statues and buildings created by famous sculptors and architects will survive at least several thousand years. The way their artifacts from Ancient Egypt survived.

[Korsar4]

"Only the hero's work
Yes the sage's speech
Centuries go by
Not knowing the end ”(c).

[depressant]

Well, yes, legends, sagas, epics about heroes. But I'm worried about whether the Motherland-Mother of Vuchetich and my favorite sculpture, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Mukhina, will survive. The last of the mentioned sculptures I saw at the time when it was removed and placed right on the lawn in front of one of the two VDNKh stations. This is before installing elsewhere. It is huge, it is a sculpture, its beauty is stunning! No photographs convey this ...
Oh what worries me!

[3x3zsave]

I know one thing for sure. Another creation by Mukhina will pass through the centuries!

[depressant]

What do you mean )))
There are a few more worthy ones. Maybe Bread?

[3x3zsave]

Faceted glass.

[depressant]

I hope you're kidding?))))

[3x3zsave]

"Some attribute to V. I. Mukhina the authorship of the design of the famous faceted glass of the Soviet model. There is no documentary evidence of this. The sculptor's work is associated with the Leningrad Art Glass Plant, where she was the artistic director." (C)

[Korsar4]

Now I realized: the next pharaoh-president needs to get busy with his pyramid without delay.

[Phil77]

Greetings to you Lyudmila Yakovlevna!
But there was! There was such a documentary film on TV! What will happen to the planet if a MAN disappears. The fate of cities, buildings, structures, space objects is shown. I do not remember the name, but the plot is very fascinating!

[depressant]

Seryozha, I saw a similar movie. At one time on Zen there were a lot of articles about the fact that suddenly some cataclysm will pass only 100 years, and all the majestic skyscrapers will turn into ruins overgrown with forest. Yes, in many films this moment is played out.
Futurologists have been researching this issue for a long time. They say that future generations will show signs of our civilization, most likely in the largest structures, which are quarries and dams. Three Chinese dams contain such volumes of concrete that some of them will definitely remain. In addition, some modern structures, for example, the Onkalo nuclear waste storage facility in Olkiluoto, Finland, are specially designed so that they will last exactly 100 thousand years.

[3x3zsave]

Bodies will go, dust to dust.
"After all, they will lie in the common ground,
Our mortal remains,

And the buildings?
Now I'm thinking about my profession ... What if I'm not just building, but creating "incorruptible" ?!

[Undecim]

Sand-lime brick, but carelessly fired.

Silicate bricks are not fired, neither carelessly nor with high quality.

[depressant]

Viktor Nikolaevich, apparently, I did not finish the phrase, having it in my head, sometimes it happens. Red brick, of course. Some old red brick buildings are still intact, but I have seen how old red brick, made using 20th century technology, literally crumbles in my hands. And today's cement is generally an anecdote. The best is worse than the Soviet mark 300, which was considered weak.

[3x3zsave]

It depends on what kind of soil.

[depressant]

And depending on what ))))
The pyramids are built from what stays well in dry, hot climates. And when there was once a period of rains, so on the Sphinx the grooves from the streams remained. They think so. Which is actually strange. In order for a groove to remain, a very thin stream of water must flow for a very long time in one and the same place, and not flow in another. Have you seen this rain?

[3x3zsave]

Mon ami, Lyudmila Yakovlevna!
What stone is the Sphinx made of?

[depressant]

So limestone! But grooves? )))

Greetings to Sergey from 1759 from Alexander Petrovich Sumarokov:

You will soon fall
O neva streams, into the vast sea,
You will pass forever
Never return from the sea, -
So our destiny leads our days to eternity,
And so life does not come back.

[Korsar4]

Intricate Sumarokov "(c).

But what will follow sweet sleep? - Unknown. "(C)

[Korsar4]

All will be well.

[depressant]

Hamlet through the mouth of Sumarokov does not quite agree with you:
"We know what the deity promises us generously -
There is hope, the spirit is vigorous, but the nature is weak! "(C)
It remains to be wondered how the native language has changed in such a short period of time by historical standards!)))

[Phil77]

Interesting remark! How would these words sound in a modern youth language?

[depressant]

Seryozha, I'm not young!
Perhaps so:
it seems to many that the king, who is naked in their eyes, the main thing is to give praise in time, because if you want to be healthy, wipe off at the dining room.

[depressant]

And I found this:

"To be, or not to be? .." - the question "hangs",
among a variety of opinions ...,
where to these destinies is death, for an encore,
an arrow of extra generations!
Who are not capable, a sea of ​​troubles,
turn to anger, to their tyrants,
humbly honoring their vulgar delirium,
through smirks, to alien wounds ...
Who, sincerely, wanted to sleep,
and see, in dreams, the ultimate dream,
but death, only appreciates the "lawlessness",
to the living, in the frailty of torment ...
And eternity, which is the essence of all life,
under the calamities of the soul - bottomless,
where time - loves only horror,
for the proud, for whom death is lawful,
to inheritance, beyond innate torment,
but to malice, out of the anxiety of those in power,
with their greed of bloody hands,
in a dagger's gleam, for the unfortunate!
And the burden of life, here, is empty,
although the obscurity in her is huge,
and may such simplicity be holy
but after all, without strength, she is worthless!
And with that, and with the familiar evil,
it is regrettable for the truth to rub shoulders,
but in front of a stranger, her, good,
beggar once ... - must grovel ...
Or do you need a native span ...,
in silence so as not to give birth to the Prophet?
And if so - strong before sleep,
its scope - by the standards of rock ...,
and with that - the result ...

Aside, covering his face with his hand: And who is he talking about? What other dogs? ((( )))

[3x3zsave]

This is not me, this is Jerome Klapka Jerome, "Three in the boat, not counting the dog."

[depressant]

Yes, there are a lot of things. In particular:

But it is more than likely that two hundred years later, during some excavations, this very dog ​​will be pulled out of the ground, having lost its legs and with a broken tail. And it will be placed in a museum as an example of antique porcelain, and it will be placed under glass. And connoisseurs will crowd around her and admire her. They will admire the warm color of her nose and will hypothesize how perfect in its shape the lost ponytail should have been.
We do not notice the charm of this dog now. We looked too closely at her. For us, it is like a sunset in the sun or a starry sky. Their beauty does not amaze us, since our eyesight has become accustomed to it. It is the same with the beauty of the porcelain dog. In 2288, she will make a splash

And the people of this era will be perceived as producers of porcelain dogs. I have forgotten these arguments. Apparently, then they were not in the subject.

It's almost 12 at night now. I listen to how the wind sounds thinly and musically outside the window, causing alarm. I don't remember such wind singing. But what can I remember, there has never been such a thing. There was the sound of the wind and its howl. There was no singing.
