Nuclear war in the 18th century From 1780 to 1816, a nuclear war took place on Earth. In total, about 800 megatons of bombs were dropped on the planet. This is precisely what Russian researchers Nosovsky and Fomenko assert in New Chronology. This is a summary of the facts of a popular theory in Russia. 1) In the European part of Russia, from 1780 to 1816, strange funnels appeared, filled with water, ranging in size from 100 m to several kilometers. There are a lot of such objects. For example, Dead Lake 20 km from the city of Penza. The lake is absolutely round, 450 m in diameter. Such reservoirs have a water level much higher than in neighboring rivers. Which indicates their recent origin. For example, Devil's Lake, Shaitan Lake, Hell's Lake, and so on. 2) It all started with the "Great Hurricane" in 1780, also known as "Black Day". More than 27.5 thousand people in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean became victims of the hurricane that raged from 10 to 16 October 1780. In addition to the strong wind, a decrease in the transparency of the earth's atmosphere was observed as a result of nuclear explosions. Ashes rose into the atmosphere and closed the sun. 3) Strangely, throughout the entire territory of Russia (and this is 1/6 of the land), there are no forests over 200 years old. Although in the medieval chronicles forests are mentioned thousands of years old! For example, like sequoias in California. Researchers believe the trees were destroyed by atomic fire. As an example, the royal decree of the 19th century on the planting of new forests on the central Russian plain is cited. Their number was restored only by the middle of the 19th century by massive planting in squares forms. 4) In ancient Russian cities, the first floors of houses built before the 19th century simultaneously found themselves underground at the same level. For example, in the city of St. Petersburg. 5) There are no 18th century cemeteries in Russia. There are only early, medieval burials of the barrow type, or burials of the middle of the 19th century. The cemeteries of the 18th century have not survived. It is surprising that during the construction of the metro in Russian cities, bones from this period were and are being found in mines and under layers of soil. 6) For 36 years of this global war from 1780 to 1816, the huge empire "Great Tartary" disappeared from the map of the world (Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. III, Edinburgh, 1771, p. 887, La Geographie Universelle contenant Les Descriptions, les Cartes, et le Blason des principaux Pais du Monde). The territory of this empire was larger than the territory of modern Russia! 7) By the end of the war in 1812, the Little Ice Age began. The summers of 1814, 1815, 1816 were cold and snowy. Because of what the townspeople left Russian and European cities. People thought that the end of the world was coming. Researchers believe this is a consequence of a nuclear winter. Who fought against the "Great Tartary" is not clear. But it is known that after the destruction of this gigantic empire, Russia began to seize its empty territories. The colonialists often found huge abandoned and ruined cities. By the way, they marked on all medieval maps as important! For example, the trading cities of Grustina, Mangazeya, and so on. In general, the strange and incomprehensible instant collapse of the huge empire "Great Tartary" is directly related to the period of the Little Ice Age and nuclear war.
