nord russia megalith
Research seidas - megaliths of northern Europe
(Russia: Karelia, Kola peninsula)

1. Types of standing

2. Seidas systems

3. Phenomens of seidas plateau


Northern megalith "sami seidas" are located in Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway. On russian they name are seid, on finnish - seita, in Norway - sieidi, in Sweden - flyttblocken. In Russia are known seidas in Keyvi, coast of Barents sea, western Murman, mountains Vottovaara, Kivakka, Nuorunen and other places. This constructions often make systems: circles, line, arch, squares, triangles. The seid complexes consist of 30-1000 stones

Phenomen of seidas plateau

 

The complexes settle down in geology the selected places - centres of ancient earthquakes, tectonic breaks. The arrangement explains phenomens. Acoustic and electrical fluctuations, magnetic anomalies here are frequent.
Seidas were put on rocks, at small lakes onat tops of mountains plateaus (sami - "tunturi")
At work in plateau seidas  there are influence a photo and film, problems with accumulators, navigation GPS, anomalys mental reactions of the people and animal (dogs).
The researcher from Murmansks Vladislav Troshin at reconstruction of ritual of burning of victims has opened air luminescence effect . The burning of fire on plateau of seidas causes luminescences of air, fire (the rise upwards warm air) makes active electrical forces in crystal structures, besides draws lightnings. The victims burn down completely, there is no ashes. Glass bottle is Burning as made from a tree.

The ancient legends sami (lapps) forbid to touch seid and even close to them to approach. Around of some seidas the bushes of berries does not grow, the grass also bends around their contours. Another seit in the winter is not fallen asleep by snow (aerodynamics of the seid form?)
 

Around this seid the grass and bushes of berries does not grow.

The growth of grass copies a corner seid.

(in Sweden this statement name - flyttblocken)
