Крылатые собаки и гигантские птицы: Что скрывают чудские артефакты? Алексей Комогорцев

Why do modern Komi still fear the "Chud gods" and recycle museum gold? An entire civilization of sorcerers and great metallurgists did not perish—according to legend, it retreated underground, and contact with it has continued to this day. Alexey Komogortsev uncovers what remains unseen in history textbooks: from the "winged dogs" of Permian casting to the giant birds that attack reindeer herds today. The mystery of "demonic" artifacts and underground tunnels tens of kilometers long is revealed in detail you won't find in ordinary museums. Key points with timestamps: [0:00] Alexey Komogortsev "The Chud Code." [1:45] Who are the Chud and why aren't they the ancestors of modern peoples? Historians traditionally identify the Chud with the Finno-Ugric tribes (Estonians, Vepsians, Karelians). However, the Komi and other northern peoples considered the Chud to be a completely different, "foreign" people who retreated underground with the arrival of Russian settlers in the 15th-16th centuries. [3:00] Etymology and Witchcraft Fame The word "Chud" comes from "kudo/chudo" and is associated with "kudesnichestvo" (witchcraft). Even after their disappearance, Chud sorcerers ("arbui") are mentioned in 16th-century state laws (Stoglav). There is a theory that Moscow's Arbat was named after these sorcerers. [5:20] The Main Mystery of Metallurgy The Chud possessed an incredibly advanced mining culture. All modern Ural factories are built on the sites of ancient Chud mines. Chud mines and quarries are astonishing in their engineering: they are extremely narrow, without supports or supports, as if they were created by creatures of an entirely different build. [9:23] Subterranean Excretion and the Phenomenon of "Self-Burial" Legends say that the Chud did not die, but burrowed into the earth or retreated into caves (for example, the enormous Divya Cave, over 11 km long). No archaeological evidence of mass death has been found, which only strengthens the mystical aura. [14:54] Pragmatic Rituals and the Commemoration of the "Old Ones" Chud pits are considered unclean places where "hauntings" still occur. However, local residents have performed "commemoration of the old ones" there for centuries, so that the Chud do not punish them by killing their livestock. This is a purely pragmatic, effective ritual without any trace of blood kinship. [16:34] Chuds – the current masters of the underground A people parallel to the human world, the "chuds" possess the appearance of dwarves and possess superpowers. They kidnap people (especially children), replacing them with wooden doubles ("churkas"), and take the victims to another world for marriage. These beliefs are remarkably consistent with northern stories about the Sirtya people and Celtic legends about the Tribes of the Goddess Danu (the Sidhe). [17:39] Common Roots with the Sidhe and the Mercator Map Direct parallels are drawn between the Ural Chuds, the Irish Sidhe, and the Arctic Sirtya. All of them have gone underground, wield magic, and live within the hills. Gerardus Mercator's map (1595) depicts a continent inhabited by pygmies at the pole, which may indicate the circumpolar origins of this people. [24:26] Permian Animal Style - A "Demonic" Legacy Locals called the famous Chud bronze castings "devils" and tried to destroy them. In just one year of the 19th century, peasants melted down nearly 320 kg of gold and 480 kg of silver, so there are simply no Chud gold items left in museums. [29:26] Iconography of the Lizard and Winged Dogs The main image of the Permian style is a lizard with human eyes. A second important motif is the "winged dogs," which anatomically resemble pterosaurs (ornithocheirids) with suspicious precision. On artifacts, their height often exceeds that of a human. [37:27] Giant Birds in Yakutia — a Remake of an Ancient Myth Arabic sources from the 10th century describe enormous birds abducting people. The lecturer cites modern data: in 2007, the Neryungri region of Yakutia was invaded by giant, two-meter-tall birds of prey, and the problem was addressed at the government and Ministry of Internal Affairs level. ✅ You can support our work - https://dzen.ru/protohistory?donate=true - With your contribution, you can help us conduct new expeditions and create new films. ✅ "Protohistory" mirror sites: 📌 Rutube - https://rutube.ru/u/protohistory/ 📌 Zen - https://zen.yandex.ru/protohistory 📌 Telegram - https://t.me/protohist 📌 MAX - https://max.ru/topsecrethistory 📌 Platform - https://plvideo.ru/@protohistory 📌 Exclusive materials - https://sponsr.ru/protohistory/ 📌 For international subscribers - https://boosty.to/protohistory 📌 Odnoklassniki - https://ok.ru/protohistory #protohistory #nikolaysubbotin
