New Chronology Excerpt about Underground Moscow

 

ABOVE GROUND AND UNDERGROUND MOSCOW IN THE TIME OF THE ROMANOVS.

The remains of the vast underground city called ‘underground Moscow’ still exist. Throughout several centuries this construction has been surrounded by legends. Numerous underground corridors, tunnels, ample chambers, storage facilities, wells, staircases, connecting passages, hiding places, caved chambers, walled-up doors, flooded passages… Many of them were lined with white stone. It is thought that somewhere about here there is hidden the famous library of Ivan the Terrible and that it is possible to travel long distances along the underground tunnels below Moscow. That having entered under the ground in the city centre, it is possible to exit it far outside of Moscow. There exists a specialised occupation – Moscow diggers. They have been exploring the underground city for many years.

TODAY THE OLD PLANS AND CHARTS OF UNDERGROUND MOSCOW ARE MISSING. More importantly the Romanovs didn’t have them either. It appears that to begin with the first Romanovs HAD A VERY VAGUE IDEA ABOUT THE MASSIVE SCALE OF THE UNDERGROUND CITY [851:1]. Only later the exploration and speculative excavations were begun in hope to stumble across either the treasures buried there or the royal archives, or the library of Ivan the terrible. The history of underground Moscow is described in the book by I.Y.Stelletsky

According to our results, the Russian Czar-Khans of the XIV-XVI cc. were the Egyptian pharaohs of the Bible. Ivan the Terrible’s capital in Alexandrovskaya Sloboda was presumably called Alexandria of Egypt. That is why the information about the famous ‘ancient classical’ (Alexandriiskaya) library of Alexandria could have been connected with it. Namely about the widely known library of Ivan the Terrible, which probably for some period of time was kept in Aleandrovskaya Sloboda [6v]. In which case the destruction of the ‘ancient classical’ library of Alexandria in the fire could be reflecting the true event of the destruction of Alexandrovskaya Sloboda in the Romanov epoch of the XVII century. Most likely Ivan the Terrible’s library was destroyed, burnt down during the Romanov rule.

Moscow’s construction as the new capital of Russia-Horde began only in the XVI century, under Ivan the ‘Terrible’. Prior to that a small settlement was located there, which emerged in the place of the Battle of Kulikovo [4v1], ch.6. The battle site was considered to be holy. Here, near the mass graves of the warriors, monasteries and churches were probably initially built to commemorate the battle. The people would come here to worship. The emerged settlement didn’t develop that much. There was no capital here for a long time. Over time various cities acted as such.

The Imperial capital was moved here either from Yaroslavl (Novgorod, Biblical Nineveh) or from Suzdal (Biblical Susa or Shushan) in the middle of the XVI century due to the deep split within the ruling class of the Empire [6v1], ch.6-7. The location choice was not accidental. As the place of the Battle of Kulikovo it was considered to be holy. Here, ‘over the spilt blood’, on the Moscow river bank, they decided to erect a new mighty capital of the Third Rome = Israel.

Most likely they began with using the open-mining or cut and cover method, they dug out ‘deep cut and cover’ tunnels, arcades, service areas, chambers, wells, etc. The construction was grandiose. When the huge bulk of the soil was removed, they began to build floors. They stoned the walls of the construction pits – the future premises – with white stone. Above the stone floor – ceilings were erected. Above them the next underground storey with rooms lodgings was constructed. And so on. The underground ant-hill was growing. Its ‘roof’ gradually rose up until it reached ground level.

In the first place the builders pursued defensive goals. It was possible to hide in the underground city during a war or a siege. As the enemies did not know the exits from the underground passages, the appearance of the Hordians ‘from beneath the earth’ was completely unexpected. The system of the underground pathways was most likely top secret. The architects-creators disappeared ‘into nowhere’. So they didn’t breathe a word of this. The maps-plans of the underground city were a state secret. During the seizure of power by the pro-Western-Romanovs the plans were either lost during the Times of Troubles, or the Hordians destroyed them in order to leave the enemy with no advantage. In the XVII century the underground Moscow was engulfed in the gloom of oblivion. Having come into power the first Romanovs had a vague idea about underground Moscow. A chance discovery of a part of the Horde archives there was a complete revelation to them.

Having finished with the underground labyrinth the builders started the construction of the above ground ‘visible’ Moscow. In the centre there was erected the stone Kremlin surrounded by a mighty triple band of walls (today only one row survives). Some distance from it, surrounding the Kremlin, was the second row of strong fortifications of Kitay-gorod. The third row is known as Bely Gorod (White Town) (there is Bulvarnoye Koltso (Boulevard Ring) in its place). Then the fortifications of Zemlyanoy Gorod (“earthworks town”) were created, which encompassed all the previous ones. Nothing survived from the walls of Zemlyanoy Gorod; today there is Sadovoye coltso (Garden Ring) in its place [6v3], ch.3.

Today over ground Moscow has changed a lot in comparison with the way it looked in the XVI-XVIII cc. The system of the ring defensive constructions was entirely razed. Only their names and the old plans are left.

Nothing of the kind has been done before. The capital of the Great Empire which encompassed Eurasia, Africa and America was being created. The capital which was described in the Bible as the New Jerusalem, which was restored after the destruction of the first Gospel Jerusalem [6v2], ch.2.

 

 UNDERGROUND MOSCOW OF THE XVI CENTURY IS THE FAMOUS EGYPTIAN LABYRINTH DESCRIBED BY ‘ANCIENT’ HERODOTUS AND STRABO.

The intricate underground construction of Moscow clearly was perceived by contemporaries as a miraculous and mysterious Labyrinth, having entered which it was impossible to leave. It was dangerous to travel along the underground passages without some kind of map. The legends about this constructions spread all over the world at that time. It was underground Moscow which was described by the ‘ancient’ authors as the ‘Egyptian Labyrinth’ [6v3], ch.3. We will remind you, that Biblical Egypt is Russia-Horde of the XIV-XVI cc [6v1], ch.4.

‘Ancient’ Herodotus considered the Labyrinth as the most grandiose construction in Egypt, surpassing even the pyramids. As we are starting to understand, he was right. Herodotus describes underground and above ground Moscow of the XVI century. Its scale exceeds everything which was erected in the Empire before. [6v3], ch.3.

Later they started to construct their own ‘small labyrinths’ in some remote regions of the ‘Mongol’ Empire imitating the metropoly. The Hordian governors could have demanded from their builders the creation of something similar to the Main Labyrinth of the Empire. In [6v3], ch.3 we have talked about one such imitation in African Egypt. It is possible, that in the XVII-XVIII cc. they indeed constructed something ‘resembling the Main Labyrinth’. But not a very strong resemblance.

Another imitation was constructed on the island of Crete. Today it is thought, that the ancient palace in the town of Knossos was built ‘in the likeness of the Labyrinth’. Notably the Greeks called it specifically the ‘Labyrinth’. The historians date its construction as the deepest antiquity – the XXI century BC. There is nothing resembling the vast unground constructions of Moscow whatsoever. Indeed there was less money in the province of the Empire than in the metropoly. And anyway it’s not befitting to construct in the periphery anything more impressive than in the capital. The Khan could have been very surprised by such pompous provincial pride. So the ‘Mongol’ governors were cautious.

There were also some other imitations-labyrinths in the provinces of the ‘Mongol’ Empire. For example, the Egyptian Labyrinth (near Faiyum in North Egypt), Labyrinth of Samos, Italic Labyrinth (cuniculi) in a town of Clusium (modern Chiusi). Strabo also mentions some other labyrinths: ‘Close to Nauplia there were caverns with the LABYRINTHS built in them, which were called Cyclopia’ [819], viii: 6:2, p.351.

They were all built as pale imitations which couldn’t hold any comparison with the capital’s Main Labyrinth.
