This idea was especially strong during the 17th century in Sweden, where the later representatives of the ideology of Gothicism declared the Scandinavian peninsula to be both the lost Atlantis and the Hyperborean land. However, some Scandinavian authors identified themselves as the Hyperboreans. Russian and Soviet writers and authors believed that Hyperborea was a lost civilization in modern-day Russia, possibly located in Siberia. Later Greek and Roman authors identified Hyperboreans as real inhabitants of northern nations, such as Celts, Dacians, Britons and others. Herodotus assumed that Hyperborea was located somewhere in Northeast Asia. Pindar, a contemporary of Herodotus, believed it being just beyond the Riphean Mountains, while going by Aristeas, it could have been located in the Kazakh Steppe. Hyperborea's hypothetical location vary from author to author.
