The theme of death has fascinated and frightened people throughout all times. Does rebirth follow death? Will the living remember the departed? In the pursuit of understanding this aspect of life, humanity has created numerous unusual traditions and rituals, which in turn have become the subject of study for various sciences. One of them — archaeology — to this day has not uncovered all the secrets of known ancient burials. Stories about the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, the mausoleum of conqueror Tamerlane, the burial place of Empress Catherine II, and many others still raise questions and stir the minds of people. Is it true that the discoverers of the famous pharaoh's tomb died from a curse, and that archaeological finds in Pompeii bring misfortune? Where did the skulls of the noble Godunov family disappear, and what happened to the head of the recognized classic of literature N. V. Gogol? Why were royal graves in the Peter and Paul Fortress opened? The book "Secrets of Opened Tombs" will tell about the most mysterious interventions in the afterlife of great personalities and will open a door to a unique world of darkness, penetrable only by consciousness, hidden behind a gravestone.
