We, residents of the 21st century, often feel that the past has forever remained in the past. Agree, has it happened to you? What, indeed, connection do all these people from bygone eras, who didn't even have plumbing, have to us — people who easily handle high-tech gadgets since kindergarten? But remember how it is: you flip through an old family album — and suddenly you stop in amazement, encountering a faded photograph of a person, with facial features exactly like those of his distant descendant. As if it is him, just dressed "in ancient style." At that moment, you suddenly clearly understand: the past is always here, it lives in us, we are its heirs. The past reliably keeps its secrets and, as we all know, reveals them to far from everyone who claims that history has no secrets from him. The famous writer Kir Bulychev — a man who believed in the future, the creator of captivating books about Alice Selezneva — was a magnificent connoisseur of the past. After all, behind this pseudonym was none other than Igor Vsevolodovich Mojeiko — a true great scholar and orientalist, who dedicated his entire life to the professional study of history. Last time we explored the mysteries of the Ancient World and the world of the ancient era, and many of them, thanks to our esteemed guide Igor Vsevolodovich Mojeiko, now seem far less mysterious. However, it is time to move on: we invite you to journey into the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, the secrets of history are waiting!
