Who really built Russian Saint Petersburg? Did they dig it out?

This is like a variation of the same story, no matter where you look. Now it is the Russian City of Saint Petersburg. It actually has a pretty cool legend about how it was founded, and how it was built.

"On 16 May 1703, while looking over sparse marshlands near the mouth of the Baltic Sea that he had taken from the Swedes, Tsar Peter the Great cut two strips of turf from Hare’s Island on the Neva river, laid them in a cross and declared: “Let there be a city here.” As he spoke, an eagle appeared overhead in an auspicious omen.

Or at least that’s the myth of St Petersburg’s founding. In reality, Peter the Great wasn’t even there, and most likely neither was the eagle. It was a group of soldiers under the command of his friend, General Alexander Menshikov, who began building what would become the Peter and Paul Fortress on Hare’s Island in May 1703. The tsar only arrived the following month.

But although untrue, this myth perfectly encapsulates the origins of St Petersburg. Built on an inhospitable swamp at the cost of thousands of lives, it was brought into being through the iron will of Peter, who needed a warm-water port and a fortress against the Swedes. Moreover, it was to be his “window to Europe”: a new capital where Peter’s western-inspired reforms of the military, bureaucracy and national culture would take hold."
- St Petersburg


In May of 1703, there supposedly was nothing but a swamp where the great City of Saint Petersburg was to stand. The official version states, "The city was built by conscripted peasants from all over Russia; a number of Swedish prisoners of war were also involved in some years under the supervision of Alexander Menshikov. Tens of thousands of serfs died building the city."

Here are the alleged 1698 maps of the Saint Petersburg area.

In 1703 Peter the Great said, "Let there be a city here."
13 years later....

Peter and Paul Fortress
To put this 13 year achievement into perspective, I will show you this one complex called Peter and "Paul Fortress". On the map it looks like an insignificant star shaped structure.

Peter and Paul Fortress_1.jpg

Actually, I think walls only will suffice.

Well, and some tunnels are not gona hurt the cause here.


Of course we have a bunch of buildings, and a cathedral left. Those you can see here: Peter and Paul Fortress.

KD Opinion: Given the 13 year time frame, I do not believe it was possible to construct a map full of brick and mortar buildings (yes, those were exactly that). Below I will try to present my opinion as to why.

Note: First of all, there is no bashing on the 18th century Russia below. I could draw the exact same parallel to just about any other country. It's just this time we are talking about Russian Saint Petersburg.

I think that art, equipment, and coins are good indicators of the human abilities within a specific time frame. The life gets reflected through the eyes of the artist. Tools and equipment give an idea of what they are capable off. And the quality of the coins, being that there was no television, internet, etc, are also meant to reflect on the governmental identity.

Now let us see what Russian art has to offer as an insight into what everything was like in the 18th century: people, equipment, road condition, etc. The images will pertain to the 18th, and occasionally early 19th centuries. I understand that 1703 is closer to the 17th century in spirit but some benefit of a doubt would not hurt here.

To make it perfectly clear, I have no idea how those people could have built some of the structures you can see in the below paintings.


I think the art above says it all. Modes of transportation are normal for the time frame. Clothing looks normal. The only advanced thing in the paintings is the architecture. Science says they built all that, but did they really?

What could the construction process look like? Would we see any advanced techniques in there allowing the building process to be conducted at at great speed? I was not able to find too many images, but here is what we have.

Nothing really special we have, just something you would expect from the early 18th century. All attempts to find any paintings of the building construction for the 18th century Russia were unsuccessful.

But we can look into some of the claimed construction techniques used 100 years later, in 1820s. I've heard that Russian alternate history gurus took this construction process apart, and called BS on just about everything. If any Russian readers would like to fill us in, on what's going on there, please do so.

With the above 19th century technique it would probably take 200 years to build what was achieved between 1703 and 1716 in Saint Petersburg. I also do not think the technique matches the structures. Appears we did not make it too far from the claimed Ancient Egyptian technique.

Tools: Well, the woodworking tools do not really pertain to what they built. Yet, woodworking were the only tools I was able to find in google.

Coins: Here is where we run into two distinctive quality levels. This could possibly be attributed to the Tartarian heritage, but there is enough speculation for one article. I will just say, that this is not time damage related issue. According to my Russian acquaintance, this is an ongoing topic of discussion in Russia. Apparently some of the coins (same time frame) do not match to the Kings (Tsars), have unexplanable units of currency, and greatly differ in quality.

Level 1.

Engravings
I was unable to find any paintings, but here are some of the engravings covering 1714 - 1716. Looks like they could build everything but bridges, judging by the first image.


To even get to the point where some sort of construction would be possible, they would have to get rid of the swamps, and marshlands. Then it would be the turn of building up infrastructure (roads, bridges, docks, brick factories, etc). In 1703...

A little summary: Was it possible for Russian people of the early 18th century to build all those structures we can see on the 1716 map. Sure was, but than there would have to be something in our history we are not being told about.

I personally think the City was already there. Older maps suggest that with so many existing cities, there was no reason to build a brand new one in the middle of some swamp. Building a "window to Europe" with so many existing "windows" ... sure...

But that leaves us with two questions:
1. What is the price of our history? ... and the meaning for that matter.
2. Who and why was faking our documents similar to the below Saint Petersburg maps, created in the19th century by the same author?
> 1700 -1849 progression.

Meanwhile... in 1703
(look at this map)

The two-headed coin is very interesting.

Look at this:
They found a map from Nicolaas Witsen that was dedicated to Peter alexowitz in 1687 when he was supposed to be 15 years old and not even official tzar yet.
It is not smart to interfere in Russian family war of you want to keep a good traders relation so why? Why dit he do this?

There are things going on with the ages and names of all these Dutch people around 1600-1700 and every time there is something going on in the 1600's (pilgrims, book publishers...) the Dutch are involved.
Our king is almost the last remaining descendant of the Romanov and the royal House happens to be one of the leaders in the Bilderberg group.
Coincidence?

Every time I dig up more names, more Dutch people involved in Russia in 1600's around this tsar Peter.
Cruyssen, Bidloo, Witsen, Brant,...

They say Dutch people and Dutch inventions (to excavate mud) built St Petersburg like Amsterdam and I have reasons to believe that there is truth in that. Nobody seems to doubt the city of Amsterdam while that was built allegdedly around 1600.

I pass this house very often and not only does it remind me of Russia, they say that there were very many Dutch- Russian traders who had a "datsja" in that area.
You can find a whole bunch of these buildings in the west part of Holland but just as many are destroyed.

In my opinion they mingled the ages and dates of Peter and Petersburg and put history in the schredder.
Edit:
They do give Peter a lot of controversies what makes me suspicious.
He was:
- Blunt, brutal, not interested in art and science, only in carpenting and boats, drunk alle the time, visited hookers in Amsterdam, molested every house he was guest in....

- The great gamechanger in Russia, ordered art from Europe, wanted to "Europize" Russia, inspired by the Enlighted movement, built a whole city and collected a "Kunstkammer" with all these perculiar things like double-headed creatures etc.

I always have that feeling that they throw a smoke curtain to hide something else.

I found this book, I have to dive into it, but a really interesting part says:

"Catharina II lured German people to settle them in the colonys near the Wolga"
🤔

Named: Odnodworzen

"Most of the Knyaz* were Tartaria kings and princes, but Russia took over most of them"

*That is strange, because they say on Wikipedia that Knyaz are descendants from Slavs and Ryurk.

This is an easy one, in short, Finns did. Whats not so easy is how, when and why their history and culture has been almost totally wiped out from the history. Finns as native inhabitants to that region themselves have a saying that "St.Petersburg was built on bones and blood of the Finns".

Here's a snapshot from New York Star from early 20th century which hints to something which might have happened to them Finns during the 1800's.

There there are of course all modern DNA studies which also indicate Finnic roots of Russia:
Enemies of Russians seem to be on the track of the past:

I know quite a few Russians today and none of them are aware of any of this when asked, so it seems to me that Finnic influence and history has been cleaned out from modern Russian consciousness.

Then there is of course this particular fact from history that Finns were considered officially as Mongols from a yellow race up until 1908 in the USA until their Supreme court decided that they were Whites.

It is obvious that Middle Eastern cult took over the realm since they gained the most with their totally fake narrative of their "ancient languages" and "history" that are now accepted as fact. To be able to own the present and create the future, they had to steal the past.

Great post with incredible informations provided in the link. Not that these things were unknown though. Here a link from the Ukrainian side discussing the difference between the two nations (lots of hatred in there but the message is nontheless very clear).

Oh yes! Thank you very much for that website. I just opened one page randomly and there was plenty of officially (for Finns at least) hidden information re the subject. I m looking forward for more when I got the time.

What is so very interesting for me is the fact that Finns are actually taught in School they have Swedish cultural roots and of course a very strange Russophobia goes with that. Just saying as a side note since we are on a stolen history site..
