 Tartia: Lost Empire or Internet Illusion? Unveiling the Truth Behind the Tartarian Mystery



✨ Introduction

Throughout history, civilizations have risen and fallen, leaving behind ruins, legends, and unanswered questions. But what if an entire empire of unimaginable scale and technology was erased—not by war or time—but by a deliberate rewriting of history? Welcome to the world of Tartaria, also known as Tartia or the Tartarian Empire—a term that has baffled, inspired, and divided thinkers and researchers across centuries.

In this in-depth exploration, we unravel over 5,000 words of findings, myths, history, and modern speculation around one of the most bizarre yet intriguing topics of our time. Is Tartaria real? Was it a hidden empire destroyed by a cataclysm? Or is it just a collection of misinterpreted maps, architecture, and conspiracy theories?

Let’s begin the journey.


Chapter 1: The Historical Tartary – Cartographic Curiosity or Real Region?

The first mention of Tartaria can be traced to European cartographers and explorers of the Middle Ages and Renaissance period. To them, vast areas of Asia—from the Caspian Sea in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east—were largely unknown. These lands were inhabited by Mongols, Tatars, Turks, and nomadic tribes who lived in yurts and ruled vast steppes.

To map-makers from Western Europe, this mysterious and enormous expanse became labeled as “Tartaria.” Some maps called it Great Tartary, Little Tartary, Chinese Tartary, or Independent Tartary, depending on regions.

"Tartaria" was never a country, kingdom, or empire. It was a catch-all term—like how Europeans used "India" or "Ethiopia" for all of South Asia or Africa, respectively.

Yet the scale and mystery surrounding Tartary would later become fertile ground for speculation.



Chapter 2: The Emergence of the Tartarian Empire Theory

The Tartarian Empire theory is relatively modern. Its birth lies not in textbooks, but in YouTube videos, Reddit threads, and independent researchers who began questioning traditional history.

Supporters of the theory claim:

  • Tartaria was an ultra-advanced civilization with technologies surpassing modern times.

  • It was wiped out in the 18th or 19th century by a mud flood cataclysm, followed by a global cover-up.

  • Grandiose buildings in cities around the world—Washington D.C., St. Petersburg, Paris, Chicago—are Tartarian relics, not the work of colonial or imperial architects.

These theorists argue that:

  • History has been falsified.

  • Architecture was “repurposed” by modern empires.

  • World fairs were staged to explain away inherited Tartarian structures.

The theory grew rapidly thanks to viral videos and photo comparisons of massive stone buildings, some appearing to be dug out from mud or having strange proportions.


Chapter 3: The Mud Flood Phenomenon

One of the most debated aspects of the Tartarian theory is the so-called Mud Flood—a mysterious global event that supposedly buried cities under several feet of earth.

Proponents point to photographs from the 1800s and early 1900s where:

  • Windows appear below ground level.

  • Buildings seem partially excavated.

  • Streets are lowered during urban renovations, revealing more of the buried façade.

Cities often cited include:

  • Chicago (post-1871 fire)

  • St. Petersburg, Russia

  • San Francisco (pre- and post-earthquake of 1906)

  • Edinburgh, Scotland (underground vaults and chambers)

Skeptics explain these phenomena through:

  • Changing road levels and urban development.

  • Foundation raising to avoid floods.

  • Architectural trends like English basements.

Still, believers insist the mud flood was a deliberate reset to erase Tartaria and its knowledge.



Chapter 4: Architectural Anomalies – The Signature of Tartaria?

Tartarian theorists believe that certain types of architecture signify Tartarian origin. These include:

  • Gigantic arched windows and doors

  • Copper domes and spires

  • Free energy symbols (like antennas)

  • No documented construction dates

  • Destruction of these buildings in mysterious fires

They often cite:

  • The Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.

  • The Singer Building (once in NYC, demolished in 1968)

  • St. Isaac’s Cathedral in Russia

  • Chicago World’s Fair buildings (1893)

Tartaria enthusiasts ask: How were these mega-structures built in record time with primitive tools?

Architectural historians reply: These structures were part of known trends like neoclassical, beaux-arts, and renaissance revival, built by documented architects using slave labor, industrial machines, and hundreds of workers.



Chapter 5: World Fairs – Evidence or Red Herring?

The World’s Fairs—especially the 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition—play a central role in the Tartaria debate. Believers argue that:

  • These fairs were not built from scratch but unveiled pre-existing Tartarian architecture.

  • The short lifespan of these majestic buildings (many demolished soon after) is suspicious.

  • They served as a way to reintroduce and rebrand Tartarian technology and culture.

Critics note:

  • The fairgrounds were built using temporary materials like plaster and wood.

  • There is photographic evidence of construction stages.

  • Demolitions occurred due to fire hazards and budget constraints.

However, the sheer scale and aesthetics of the fairs continue to inspire mystery.


Chapter 6: Star Forts, Ancient Energy, and Forgotten Technology

Another element tied to Tartarian mythology includes:

  • Star Forts: Geometric fortresses found globally, from India to Europe.

  • Antiqui-tech: Imagined Tartarian technology like free energy towers, atmospheric electricity collectors, etc.

  • Old World tech: Theorists believe humans of the 1800s used electric trams, radiant heating, and air conditioning powered by ether.

They ask: How did cities have electric streetcars before wide-scale electricity?

Historians respond: This was part of industrial-era innovation, not Tartarian remnants.

Still, the presence of advanced design in ancient and early-modern buildings continues to fuel the narrative.



Chapter 7: Suppression and Rewriting of History?

Believers in Tartaria argue that after the fall of this great empire, global powers like the British Empire, Russian Tsardom, and Vatican erased its memory:

  • History books were rewritten.

  • Tartarian people were rebranded as Mongols or barbarians.

  • Massive events like World War I were staged to destroy Tartarian remnants.

Some even link the Orphan Trains (U.S. 1850s–1900s) to the adoption of Tartarian children whose parents perished in the mud flood.

However, these claims lack primary-source documentation. Critics point out that major historical events and migrations were well-recorded.


Chapter 8: Cultural Echoes – Tartaria in Art, Language, and Lore

Despite being labeled pseudohistory, the idea of Tartaria has left its mark in:

  • Alternative music and art

  • Science fiction and steampunk fiction

  • New Age philosophy

  • Conversations about lost civilizations like Atlantis, Lemuria, and Mu

Tartaria becomes a metaphor for:

“What if the world we know is just a version of reality fed to us through selective memory?”


Chapter 9: Tartaria Today – The Internet’s Role

Why is Tartaria trending in the 21st century?

  • A distrust of mainstream education and governments.

  • Easy access to old books, maps, and photos through the internet.

  • YouTube documentaries and TikTok breakdowns.

  • A cultural longing for something larger than life.

Websites, YouTube channels, and entire subreddits are now dedicated to Tartaria, fueling an ongoing debate.

Some treat it as entertainment or speculative fiction, while others pursue it as serious research.


Conclusion: Myth, Metaphor, or Memory?

So, is Tartaria real?

From an academic perspective—no. There is no concrete proof of a global Tartarian Empire or a worldwide mud flood event.

But in terms of mythology, metaphor, and modern folklore—Tartaria is very real. It reflects our:

  • Hunger for lost knowledge

  • Distrust in authority

  • Fascination with ancient power

Tartaria lives not in the past, but in the collective imagination of people searching for truth in a world of half-answers.

Maybe the real question isn’t "Was Tartaria real?"—

But rather: "What does our belief in Tartaria say about us?"


Final Thoughts

Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, Tartaria remains one of the most captivating internet-born mysteries of our time.
