Russians are writing their own alternative history: the “Book of Veles” has become the new Bible

On Facebook in the distributed record positive:

“Volchvari are wooden tablets with inscribed or carved texts. Among the Volchvars, the “Book of Veles” can be singled out, written gradually and by several authors on wooden tablets and reflecting the past of the Slavic peoples of southeastern Europe.

The Veles were intended for the Veles, the ancient clergy, hence the name of these documents. (…)

The content of Veles’s book completely coincides with the Slavic-Aryan Vedas and the archaeological discoveries of recent decades, which completely rejects the objections of official historians regarding the alleged authenticity of these tablets.”

Members of movements that artificially inflate and exalt Russian history claim that the famous “Book of Veles” is the only example of such magical manuscripts that has survived to this day.

A mystical book

They keep repeating “sensational” her history of discovery – allegedly in 1919 Colonel Izenbek of the Russian White Army found ancient wooden tablets with carved characters in the ruined estate of the Zadonsky-Zakharzhevsky princes near Kharkiv, which he took with him and later took out of Russia.

He handed over his find to Yuriy Miroliubov, who studied and copied the text. He did not manage to publish it until World War II.

Then Izenbek died and, according to J. Miroliubov, the wooden tablets “lost” somewhere, but the charlatan reassures – one of their photos remained.

The problem is that the analysis of the photo by scientists showed that the inscriptions were not made on wood, but on paper.

First time “The Book of Veles” was published in the sixties of the last century.

After the students have completed the linguistic and historical analysis of this work it turned out that the text contains gross grammatical errors unimaginable in any living language, modern Czech and Polish words are inserted, and the spelling of the letters is much closer to their modern form than to the Cyrillic alphabet of a thousand years ago.

The supposedly unique inscription of the Veles book – “Velesovitsa” – dates from around the 19th century. Cyrillic Slavic letters “glued” on a horizontal line (apparently to simulate similarity to Sanskrit).

The creators of this masterpiece, among other things, often use quotations from the Bible and even the Gospel, which is not at all characteristic of the Slavic Aryan saints who supposedly lived several thousand years ago. (But quite typical of J. Miroliubov, who grew up in a priest’s family).

Classic pseudo-historical falsification

The fact that this “discovery” has no scientific basis is indirectly forced to admit by the supporters of the “Book of Veles”.

Alexander Asov, who in the 20th century at the end was almost the most successful popularizer and “translator” of this work, in the end he was forced to declare:

“The basic authentication cannot be expressed precisely in words. It comes from personal spiritual experience. The very spirit of Veles’ book speaks of authenticity. Its mysterious mysteriousness, the great magic of the word”.

In general, “The Book of Veles” can be considered a classic example of historical falsification, created according to all the canons of this genre: first of all, a sensational find is supposedly found in some secret place, which should refute all traditional concepts of history.

No one ever sees it, but after a while “copies” appear, the content of which contradicts all available scientific data, but corresponds to the views of the creator of the “copy”.

What follows is a decades-long dispute with “biased” academic science.
