The head of the Altai sect “Ak Jan” (“White Faith») Akai Keene , also known as Sergey Kynyev spent on a high plateau in the Altai Republic Ukok a shamanic ritual designed to “calm” the spirit of “Princess Kadyn” mummy which was found in these places Novosibirsk archeologists 20 years ago. According to Keane, the spirit of the mummy needs to rebury her body, now stored in the mountain Altai museum, otherwise the disaster that struck the Altai this year, will continue.
The mummy was found by archaeologists in Novosibirsk in 1993 on a plateau Ukok burial V-III centuries BC. This finding has been named one of the most important in archeology in the second half of the twentieth century. Almost two decades, scientists kept mummy in Novosibirsk Akademgorodok, in the museum of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In autumn 2012, scientists decided to return the mummy in the Altai Republic after it completed all the research.
Altai people for many years wanted to bury the mummy, says Keane. This year – after the biggest floods in half a century in the region and the devastating hail – similar requirements erupted again. “Veda” People associate bad weather so that the princess is still not buried. Earlier in the Altai went to collect signatures for the disposal of the mummy. Was collected 22,000 signatures, says Keane. On October 6, Gorno-Altaisk held a rally, after which Russian President Vladimir Putin sent the request to the need for disposal of the body. “Veda Altai people believe that if the mummy reburied, then stop feuding two blood brothers. Stop going war between the West and the East “- says Keene.
At a rally Akai Keene said that a few years ago communicated with the spirit of” princess. ” “When it was brought to our museum two years ago, we spent with her ritual, and she said – I give you another two years to rest, and then I need to be reburied on the plateau Ukok, – he continued. – And I did not even believe it when this year once two calamities inflicted upon us – first flood, and then hail ».
His supporters argue that” princess “in life was the” White Lady ” , one of the priestesses guarding “the umbilical cord of the Earth.” “She stood guard over the gates of the underworld, preventing the penetration of evil from the lower worlds. However, after mummy learned archaeologists, it has lost its strength and is now unable to perform its protective functions. At the Earth began to penetrate Evil. Started natural disasters, human conflicts, “- says Keene.
However, the data do not support the interdisciplinary research his words. “Kadyn” belonged to the middle strata of society Pazyryk. She died at the age of 30-35 years from breast cancer, which has suffered several years. As a child she had been ill with osteomyelitis. “In his last winter on Ukok in October she arrived already quite ill, – wrote the researchers. – For 3-5 months before her death she fell off a horse and was injured. Drop fell on the right side: hit the right temple, right shoulder and right hip. After that, she was bedridden. General state of health before leaving her life, without a doubt, it was very heavy ».
It should be added that experts doubt the competence of Sergei Kynyeva and consider it” adventurous. ” “Altai people in general are reasonably deep historical knowledge. It is connected with the tradition of ancestor worship, which are known to the tenth generation, – said in an interview with IA REGNUM ethnographer and archaeologist Elena Koroleva. – However Kynyev not so – he cut off from the roots, and around him are going to the same people. He did not get a shamanic initiation, and he had no reason to speak on behalf of the Altai people ».
Anton Luchansk , member of the excavation in 1993, in which was found a mummy” Princess “says:” I am, of course, always worried about what’s going on around this finding. In the first place, I mean research. However, do not pay attention to the shaft of speculation and outright lies, too, was impossible. First topic mastered journalists more or less yellow editions, describing how the helicopter fell, and then all participants excavation died smitten curse. It was kind of funny – because the author’s purpose was clear: the mystical nonsense is always in demand. But then began to take shape around the mummy cult pestuemy so-called “knowledgeable people”. There was an incident – a few years after the opening of the 1993 camp archaeologists Ukok come these “people in the know” – one of them called himself “the shaman of republican values.” The delegation requested to show the mound, where the female mummy was discovered. We showed them a monument to the Ak-Halacha-3, has already been partially remediated and turf-covered. They did not believe that the “first mother” could huddle in a modest grave and went to look for themselves. Like, Kadyn tell. Found a huge hereksur Ak-Halacha-2, where no one at all had not been buried, and eventually spent there some meaningful ritual. We must understand that if it were not archaeologists, no Zaisan would never have learned of the burial site of its new national idea. Now they need to bury the mummified idea back, but I bet for fun – in fact, they do not want. Because mummy – a great trump card that can be played any number of times. Subject regularly pops up in anticipation of any republican elections. Or just when the leaders of the social and religious movements want to attract the attention of the press ».
In the Gorno-Altai blogosphere, which, in principle, supported the idea of burial” Princess Kadyn “Activity Sergei Kynyeva caused more backlash. “Shamans do not dress up, it’s just a show” – write, for example, commentators popular local “News of the Altai Mountains.” “Do they have a diploma or a certificate of shamans from the psychiatric hospital?” – Ask commenters.
«How can broadcast the parade stupidity? Let’s start with the fact that Sergei Kynyev not no shaman, no not the leader of the Altai and never one nor the other will not. Added that he considers the Scythian deceased cause natural disasters – is at least the Middle Ages. And summarize the fact that the national media is high time to stop paying attention to a handful of imposters and madmen, led Kynyeva – sure a user with the nickname “get it”. – For them, this is a PR, why pour into their hands? Stop giving these false news about shamans and their “action”, and everything will calm down. Otherwise, there will always be moloobrazovannye prone to superstition people who will support this theme, and unhealthy hype around the so-called “princess” never settles ».
