Mud Flood: Tartaria Punished by God

Tartary or Tartaria is a historical name for Central Asia and Siberia. Ignorance surrounding Tartary’s use as a place name has spawned conspiracy theories including ideas of a “hidden past“ and “mud floods“. Such theories assert that Tartary (or the “Tartarian Empire“) was a lost civilization with advanced technology and culture. This ignores the well-documented history of Asia, which Tartary refers to.
