The culture of ancient Indo-Europeans

More about the book

The research highlights the Southern Urals-Black Sea region as the birthplace of ancient Indo-Europeans, who developed a unified language and culture around 5-6 thousand years ago. This area was pivotal for the emergence of early religions like Vedism and Mazdaism, stemming from primitive beliefs. It also marks the beginnings of metallurgy, as inhabitants learned to extract iron from swamp ores. The concept of "Santa Claus" is linked to ancient traditions, where priests, resembling modern depictions, engaged in rituals that hint at early notions of the afterlife.
