In ancient times, the major Russian river [[Volga]] was called "Ra". Hindu Vedas speak of Hindu gods coming to India not from the skies, but from the North - from the territory of Russia. This explains the name of [[Rama]] (Ra-ma), who brought [[Vedas]] to India, and the Sun-worship (the worship of [[Ra]]) to Egypt, and the presence of the Sun-symbol and Swastika in the Russian culture throughout the ages. Russian [[Cossacks]] call their military leader [[Ataman]]. This explains why the highest divinity in India is called [[Atman]], and [[Atum]] in Egypt. The old Russian is almost identical to the Old Sanskrit. Ancient Russian city [[Arkaim]] (in [[Urals]]) is dated in conservative estimates to be 3000 BC, and is called "Swastika City". It is believed that Arkaim was used as the most sophisticated ancient aerospace observatory. Russian Sun-symbol [[Kolovrat]] (Коловрат) can be also translated as "near the gate" (врата), and likely refers to teleportation portals and [[Vimana]]s described in Vedas. In the tradition of Vedas, both swastika and kolovrat designate cosmic phenomena and interstellar travel. [[Veda]] is a Russian word. The most ancient swastika is found in [[Mezine]], [[Ukraine]]. It is carved on late paleolithic figurine of mammoth ivory, being dated as early as about 10,000 BC. Because after the world flood, there was the Ice Age, it is very likely that Indo-europeans / Aryans lived on the very narrow stretch of land from the Black Sea to India. This explains why [[Arkaim]] The Swastika City is located on the territory of Russia, and why the most ancient swastika is found on the territory of Ukraine. Russian [[Urals]] mountains are the most ancient mountains on the planet, and Russia has the geological plate in the [[Western Siberia]] which sustains 14 scenarios of the world catastrophes. This explains why we are bound to find the pre-deluvian artifacts precisely on the territory of Russia.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Flight of the Wild Gander |last=Campbell |first=Joseph |authorlink=Joseph Campbell |year=2002 |page=117}}</ref>
