The secrets of the past are hidden in the depths of the earth all over 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. Amazing finds - household items and genuine masterpieces of art - help to learn more about the history of civilization, and sometimes pose riddles for scientists.
The bones near Voronezh, the Shigir idol in Yekaterinburg, the Maikop burial mound, the Okunev steles in Abakan, the Scythian hoards, the ancient cities of Crimea... You don't have to go to the ends of the earth to find archaeological treasures - they are very close!

A traveler who has visited different parts of our country and a participant in excavations, he talks about archeology in a fascinating and interesting way. "Secrets of the Earth.
