Where is Hyperborea ?

The landmass of Hyperborea, existed in Siberia and elsewhere in Northern Russia. Even though much of Northern Russia and Great Tartary is now covered in glacial sheeting and snowy landscapes, around 25,800 BC, Hyperborea was fabulously luscious and fertile landmass of mild, balmy weather. From what has been written about Hyperborea, the landmass was described as having southward perimeters that were bordered by the Riphaean Mountains.

What did Hyperborea look like ?

The main waterway of Hyperborea was the Eridanos River, that flowed into the Baltic Sea. The banks of the Eridanos River were lined with amber weeping poplar trees and its aquatic environment was home to massive flocks of the Megáloi Lefkoí Kýknoi (Great White Swans). Because the landmass of Hyperborrea produced biannual fruit, vegetable and grain crops, most of the countryside highly fertile and covered with the luscious forests.

Hyperborea is mentioned in Greek Mythology by many academics…

Within Greek Mythology it is clearly written that the southward perimeter of Hyperborea was definitely concealed by the bitterly cold and entirely impassable Rhipaean Mountains, and the home to the Greek Deity called Boreas Olimbos whose chill breath brought winter to the landmasses of the Southern Lands. Apparently the peaks of the Rhipaean Mountains, were inhabited by the radiantly intense looking Griffins, that were also known as the Grypónes, (Curved Beings) or Griffins and Gryphons.

The Greek Lyric Poet called Pindaros Daiphantou, Pindaros Pagondos or Pindaros Skopelinou, (Pindar), Pindars First Pythian Ode 10. 27 ff:

“Of The Fairest Glories That Mortals May Attain, To Him Is Given To Sail To The Furthest Bound. Yet Neither Ship Nor Marching Feet May Find The Wondrous Way To The Gatherings Of The Hyperborean People.”
