EPOCH OF THE XII CENTURY

19. FIFTY NINE REFLECTIONS OF VIRGIN MARY = MARY THE BIRTH GIVER OF GOD

As we have shown in [���], the Virgin Mary, Birthgiver of God, lived in the XII century. She was born in Russia, probably in Rostov or nearby. For some time she lived in Czar-Grad, died and was originally buried in Crimea, in the cave town of Chufut-Cale. Throughout Christianity the attitude towards the Birthgiver of God is particularly respectful. However in the rabbinical-Judaic version, and also clearly apparent the writings by the 'ancient' authors (like Titus Livy), the Virgin Mary, as well as Christ, are on the contrary portrayed negatively. Mary was accused of fornication with a Roman soldier. They also allege she was raped. According to another version, a soldier secretly entered Mary's place at night in the guise of her husband. On that basis Jesus was called a 'pitiful mamzer', a bastard, i.e. born to Mary and Joseph out of wedlock [307]. As we discover further, in a Roman version by Titus Livy, the Birthgiver of God is described as a famous 'Roman She-Wolf' ('The Capitoline Wolf'), and also as a promiscuous Larentia cheating on her husband with strangers. Similarly critical view of the Virgin Mary can be found in the works of other chroniclers. The picture is clear: many disputed the Christian idea of the Immaculate Conception and tried to belittle and to distort this motif, tirelessly conjecturing about the debauchery, a Roman soldier, rape, etc.

The following characters are the phantom reflections of Mary the Birthgiver of God in the Scaligerian 'History textbook':

34) SEMIAMIRA or (JULIA) SOAEMIAS mother of 'ancient' Emperor Heliogabalus (duplicate of Christ). Described by various Roman authors as the 'most virtueless woman'. So here Mary Theotokos (the Birthgiver of God) is represented in the critical rabbinic version [��] ch.2.

35) ANNIA FAUSTINA 'THE ELDER', wife of 'ancient' Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius [��] ch.3.

36) FAUSTINA 'THE YOUNGER' (Faustina Minor), wife of 'ancient' Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. She is mother of Emperor Commodus (duplicate of Christ) [��] ch.3. We have analysed biographies of the 'two Faustinas' – Faustina The Elder and Faustina the Younger. It emerged that 'both' Empresses are the phantom reflections of the Virgin Mary from the XII century. Consequently, using the information about Empress Faustina, we considerably widen our knowledge about Theotokos (The Holy Mother of God). For example, OF THE PLACE OF HER DEATH AND ORIGINAL BURIAL. For many years this subject has given rise to much discussion. But nevertheless the disputers rely on the same primary sources known before. Commentators just reinterpret time and time again the well-known testimonies of the ancient writers, while trying unsuccessfully to derive 'new knowledge' out of them.

Unlike this 'walking in circles', we rely on the New Chronology and on the NEW TESTIMONIES discovered with its help. Now it is possible to bring in some facts which were erroneously attributed to the different characters and to the different epochs. In particular, we could use the biography of the Empress Faustina. Before us no one considered these testimonies to be a reference to the Holy Mother of God. They were attributed to some little known ancient queen. That is why no one paid any particular attention to these documents. It turns out that they are exceptionally valuable.

As a result we made an important discovery. There was enough new data in order to suggest and prove the hypothesis that Theotokos died and was originally buried in Crimea, in the cave town of Chufut-Kale [��] ch.4.

37) 'LIVE ICON' of MOTHER OF GOD, which appeared near Crimean cave town Chufut-Kale [��] ch.4.

38) MIRACLE-WORKING ICON OF MOTHER OF GOD which accompanied Russian Prince Andrei Bogolyubskiy (Christ) circa 1164-1169,[��] ch.4.

39) JANICKE-KHANYM (partial), a great khan queen, allegedly the daughter of Tokhtamysh-Khan of the Golden Horde. Her mausoleum is situated in the Crimean cave town of Chufut-Kale [��] ch.4.

40) Legendary Maria, in whose memory a famous fountain of tears was erected in the Bakhchisaray Palace [��] ch.4.

Until the present day a Christian cross inserted inside a crescent has survived on it, fig.19. In time, it was probably a decision to invent something in order to cast into obscurity the memory of the original Christian meaning of the monument dedicated to the Virgin Mary. That is why the legend was told with enthusiasm, that the Fountain was erected in memory of a CHRISTIAN girl – either some Georgian girl, or some Greek Dinorah Khionis, or maybe it was a Polish MARIA Potocka [��] ch.4. Purporting that as the girl was a Christian, a Muslim Star inside a crescent was depicted in the form of a Christian Cross. So, there, you have an explanation of the Christian symbol on the 'Muslim' monument.

The publishers of the books about Bakhchisaray photograph the monument in such a way that the Christian Cross on its top is cut out of the shot. So there are fewer questions, to which they don't have the answers.

Thus, the famous Bakhchisaray Fountain of Tears and Bakhchisaray tomb of the 'Beautiful Princess' were erected most likely as memorial monuments to the Virgin Mary, Mother of Christ. She died in Chufut-Kale, near Bakhchisaray at the end of the XII – beginning of the XIII cc. Chufut-Kale became a holy city and turned into the main residency of the Crimean khans. Then, after transferal of the khan's capital from Chufut-Kale to Bakhchisaray, the memory of Mary Mother of God was also transferred, having in particular built a magnificent marble Fountain of Tears (Mary's Fountain), which became a pilgrimage destination, as well as Dilara Bikech durbe (which in translation means: a tomb of a Beautiful Princess). It is most likely that this tomb is symbolic.
