Secrets of the Earth. Archaeology of Russia

This book is an exciting journey through time and space, back one and a half million years and across many thousands of kilometers.
The mysteries of the past are hidden in the depths of the earth throughout Russia: among the northern forests and southern steppes, in Siberia and the Volga region, in the Caucasus and Altai, along the Black Sea coast, in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Remarkable finds — everyday items and genuine masterpieces of art — help us learn more about the history of civilization, and sometimes present scholars with puzzles.
Kostyonki near Voronezh, the Shigir Idol in Yekaterinburg, the Maykop Kurgan, the Okunev stelae in Abakan, the Scythian treasures, ancient cities of Crimea... You don't need to travel far for archaeological treasures — they are very close by!
"Archaeology is not only a science but also a way of thinking and a lifestyle," says the author of the book, Andrzej Ikonnikov-Galitsky, a famous Petersburg poet, writer, and scholar. A traveler who has visited various corners of our country and a participant in excavations, he tells about archaeology in an engaging and interesting way. "Secrets of the Earth. Archaeology of Russia" is a wonderful guide for anyone who wants to learn about the mysteries of the past.
