Dear Shadow Tribe,
In the alternative history version, Tartaria (or the Tartarian Empire) was far more than a name on old maps as mainstream historians claim (see my previous post Tartaria: The Mainstream Historical Narrative.). It was a real, advanced civilization that once covered large parts of the world. Supporters say it built grand architecture on multiple continents, possessed technology beyond what official history credits to the 18th and 19th centuries, and was then deliberately wiped from the record.
According to this account, Tartaria was a unified or loosely unified empire with its own rulers, culture, and style of building. Its people are described as technologically capable, often peaceful, and skilled at large-scale construction. Many of the ornate public buildings, star forts, domed structures, and even the temporary World’s Fair palaces that appear in old photographs are said to be Tartarian, not the work of the nations that later claimed them. Some versions of the story add that the Tartarians used free or wireless energy systems, visible in the domes, spires, and metalwork on surviving structures. Giants are sometimes included among the population as well.
The end of this civilization, in the claim, came suddenly in the 19th century (sometimes earlier). A global or near-global “mud flood” buried lower levels of cities, raised street levels, and destroyed much of the population and infrastructure. Surviving buildings were left with windows and doors partially underground. After the catastrophe, the story continues, those in power rewrote the history books to their benefit, reassigned the architecture to later cultures, demolished many of the remaining structures, and erased Tartaria from standard accounts. The name disappeared from maps at roughly this same time. Wars, revolutions, and institutional control of education and publishing are offered as the tools that finished the cover-up.
In short, the hidden-history narrative holds that a sophisticated Tartarian world existed into relatively recent times, was destroyed by a mud flood or similar event, and was then systematically removed from public memory so that modern nations could claim its buildings and its timeline.

What evidences do the proponents of this theory offer? Several, it turns out. Some of which are hard to dismiss. In part 3 (Tartaria: The Evidences), I will present their top three evidences that Tartaria was very real. Until then, check out the suggested readings list.
