The famous Canadian writer, research scientist Farley Mowat conducts a sensational historical reconstruction of the evolution of the peoples who inhabited the northern part of Europe, and reveals the secret of the conquest of America by the first Europeans. Many completely new or little-known facts are collected bit by bit and are subject to impeccable logic. The unique visual material allows the large-scale historical picture to appear quite clearly. There is not the slightest doubt that representatives of the long-vanished European people - the Albans - were long ahead of the Vikings in the art of war and navigation and became the real discoverers of the Arctic Eldorado.
