dragon family
Definition: Conspiracy theorists believe Tartaria was a global empire—or at least a massive Eurasian one—stretching across modern-day Russia, Central Asia, and sometimes spanning into America.
Advanced Tech: The theory claims Tartarians built all the grand classical buildings found around the world, utilizing advanced technologies like "ether energy" harvested from spires and domes.
The "Mud Flood": A central theme is that this civilization was wiped out in a 19th-century cataclysm known as a "mud flood," which buried the first floors of many buildings globally, leaving only the upper floors visible today.
Disappearance: By the late 1800s, it is claimed that Tartaria was removed from maps, its territory absorbed, and its history scrubbed to create the current world order.
Guardians of Knowledge: In some interpretations, the "Dragon Family" refers to an ancient royal bloodline or group of custodians—sometimes associated with the "Tar-Khans" (Royal Guardians) or guardians of Tartarian energy technology.
Symbolism: These groups allegedly used dragon symbolism to represent power, knowledge, and guardianship.
Hidden Rulers: The theory posits that the remnants of this ruling class went into hiding after the civilization's collapse but still hold significant influence over global financial systems and hidden knowledge.
Heraldry: Old maps of "Tartary" sometimes display flags with dragons, which theorists interpret as the official heraldry of this vast empire.
Eastern Dragon: The imagery often blends with the Asian, wingless dragon—a serpent with antlers—which is interpreted in these theories as a marker of the ancient, advanced "Eastern" civilization.
Supposed Royal Lineage: In some alternative history narratives, the "Dragon Family" refers to an alleged ruling elite or royal guardian class of the Tartarian Empire, sometimes referred to as "Tar-Khans" or royal guardians (often claimed to be 20-30 feet tall).
Symbolism and Imagery: Proponents often point to dragon imagery,, along with griffins and other, in architecture and iconography across Europe and Asia as "proof" of a worldwide, unified Tartarian civilization that was subsequently erased from history.
Theories on Origin: Some theories suggest a connection between these "dragon" figures and Eastern dragon iconography (long, coiling, wingless), suggesting a regional or species variation in the lore.
Context within the Conspiracy: The Tartarian theory itself argues that "Tartaria" was a massive, advanced, "free energy" society that was destroyed (sometimes attributed to a "mudflood") and intentionally removed from history, with the "Dragon Family" acting as its leaders.
Mainstream Historical View: The "Great Tartaria" theory is considered a, frequently fueled by nationalistic sentiment in Russia. Historically, "Tartary" was a generic term used by Europeans to describe the vast, unknown region of North Asia, Siberia, and Central Asia, which was inhabited byVarious peoples, primarily Turks and Mongols, rather than a single unified empire.
Related Fictional Element: In fantasy, specifically Dungeons & Dragons, "Tarterian dragons" are a specific type of creature native to the prison plane of Carceri.
Related Historical Terminology: "Chinese Tartary" was an old geographical term for regions like Manchuria, Mongolia, and Xinjiang, but it is entirely distinct from the conspiracy theories mentioned above.
