Tartarian Empire — The Advanced Civilization Erased From History
Maps once showed Tartaria, a vast empire with cities and tech that challenge our understanding of history

Of mysteries, history knows little, however, and nothing is so difficult to explain as the sudden disappearance of Tartaria, or Grand Tartary, as we may call it. Between the 1500s and the 1800s, many maps created by European cartographers labeled a large territory between Eastern Europe and the Pacific Ocean as Tartaria.
However, this was not a small land, but an empire that was so huge that it ruled Asia for centuries. And all in a flash it disappeared. The modern maps do not recognize its presence anymore, and its name is seldom uttered in the textbooks of history.
The question lingers: how is it possible to have so completely erased an entire empire? Was it just a mistaken idea, a designation of nomadic tribes abandoned? Or is there some higher motive, some cover-up to conceal a civilization of knowledge and power that would shake the keystones of our modern world?
Maps that refuse to lie
For more than three centuries, the maps showed the presence of Grand Tartary in large areas of Asia. French, Dutch, and German maps, in their existence, were all united.
This was not a thoughtless sketch but a serious piece of geography by some of the most reputable cartographers in Europe. The uniformity is impressive, be it called Independent Tartary, Chinese Tartary, or Russian Tartary, the territory was taking a central position in the European mind.
However, during the 19th century, the name disappeared virtually overnight. Tartaria was not disappearing slowly as empires tend to, but vanished as though wiped out by an invisible hand. This abrupt omission is disturbing.
Unless Tartaria is simply an esoteric allusion to tribes or territories, how is it that Tartaria took over maps centuries before it was so carefully expunged? To conspiracy theorists, it is clear that somebody has determined that the world should forget Tartaria.
The architecture that shouldn't exist
Tartaria was disappearing just as there was an inquisitive burst of architecture in Europe and America. Monumental buildings were suddenly erected in large cities in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Government halls, train stations, and exhibition centers, buildings so luxurious and persistent that they are still impressive to engineers today. Worse still, they were allegedly constructed with remarkable speed, sometimes in a few years.
Consider the Columbian Exposition of Chicago of 1893. Official estimates show that in two years, over 200 neoclassical buildings had been built on a size of over 600 acres. One of them was the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Building, the biggest structure in the world at that time.
Officially, it explains that these were temporary structures that were composed of plaster and fiber. But on photographs, we can see huge, detailed buildings that do not appear to be temporary. And then, nearly as soon as they had come, they were swept away.
This trend is replicated in other cities such as San Francisco, which lost its greatness in the destructive 1906 earthquake and was, nevertheless, rebuilt with unbelievable speed and splendor.
The question is how such construction marvels were possible in an age of non-modern machinery, with scanty resources, and through workforces never experienced in doing work on such a large scale before?
To Tartaria theorists, the solution is simple. These were not constructions of any kind. They belonged to the ruins of the Tartarian empire, which were hastily rebranded and destroyed to make no record of it.
The great mud flood mystery
Buildings seem to be sunk into the earth. The windows are placed on the sidewalks. There are doorways leading to basements. There are whole first floors that are covered by modern streets.
Historians of the mainstream explain this by the gradual increase in street levels due to the repaving of streets and new infrastructure being installed on top of the old base. But Tartaria scholars are suggesting something more extreme. It is the Great Mud Flood.
According to them, in the 1800s, there was a devastating geologic phenomenon that covered large parts of the earth with mud and debris, covering cities and civilizations.
The theory says that this catastrophe had swallowed a large part of Tartaria, and only the superior stories of their magnificent buildings stood in sight. The well-known Underground cities of Seattle, New York, and so on are given as evidence all over the world.
To believers, they are not the weird city characteristics or the product of long evolution, but testimony to a cataclysm that rebuilt the world and covered the Tartarian empire with heaps of soil.
World's fairs as cover-ups
In case there were already Tartarian structures, how could authorities dismiss them? World Expos, the solution, as the theorists believed, was straightforward, i.e., World fairs.
The major exhibitions of the late 19th century and the early 20th century were a two-fold end. Their outward appearance was a glorification of industrial advancement. However, secretly they served to recycle Tartarian architecture, make it look like new wonders, and demolish it at a convenient later date.
Suspicion is stimulated by the absence of construction photographs. Whereas there are numerous records of completed constructions along with their demolition, there is evidently little reference to the process of building itself.
This to the skeptic indicates that there was but little to be built to photograph, but only restorations of old Tartarian buildings, which were hastily knocked down at the dissolution of the fairs.
The cycle of construction, exhibition, and destruction goes well with the history of the disappearance of a civilization. Tartaria had to be covered with mud, but its visible residues had to be discredited and dismantled.
The star forts and resonance chambers
These star-shaped fortifications can be seen all over Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Mainstream historians refer to them as military designs, geometrical patterns that were intended to resist cannon fire.
But this is not what Tartaria scientists observe. The mathematical accuracy of star forts, they say, indicates not defense but manipulation of energy. Along with the acoustic wonder of cathedrals and government buildings, the places where the voice echoes in hearing the strange things, the image becomes even more bizarre.
These were not the cursory sprouts of taste or military demands. They were resonance chambers and nodes of energy, an element of a worldwide network of free energy which the Tartarians had command over long before industrial society.
In the event that this were so, it would be understandable how Tartarians were able to build such large buildings in such a fast and uniform manner. Brute force could be supplanted by sound waves, frequency resonance, and electromagnetic manipulation to define what can be achieved by engineering to date, which is still a mystery.
Giants of Tartaria
Among the most disputable arguments of the Tartarian mystery is that their inhabitants were giants. The percentage of the most ancient buildings looks odd to normal human beings. The doorways rise to inconceivable heights.
Staircases appear to be made to suit legs that are longer than ours. The late 1800s furniture, beds, and chairs are comically oversized. Giant skeletons were discovered in North America and other places, commonly reported in the newspapers of the 1800s and early 1900s.
Giants appear in the legends of all peoples all over the world, such as the Titans of Greek mythology, the Nephilim of the Bible, the Norse sagas, and the folklore of Native Americans. Are these myths the remains of the real Tartarian people, wiped out with their empire?
Final thoughts
The mystery of Tartaria persists since it lies at the border between what actually happened and what might have happened. Maps prove that it existed centuries before, and it was not until overnight that it disappeared.
Architecture is a source of frustration concerning the time frame of construction and lost technology. The mud flood, star forts, resonance chambers, and giants are theories explaining the strangely compelling explanations to the anomalies left behind in a speculative manner.
It is not yet clear whether Tartaria was a forgotten confederation of tribes, a misinterpreted geographical term, or a highly developed empire wiped out by intentional obliteration, but the thing is that something of importance has been concealed.
Each covered floor, each destroyed exposition house, each killed skeleton contributes to the feeling that history is not what it appears. Finally, Tartaria is an invitation to doubt the narratives that we are being told. Were they both a misapprehension or the biggest cover-up in human history?
Until the signs of Tartaria reappear, as represented in the remains of earlier ages seated beneath our cities and archives, the mystery of Tartaria will perpetually hover at the fringes of our maps and of our imaginations.
