In the mid-90s, I somehow came across a library book by Gariy Eremeevich BURGANSKY and Rostislav Sergeevich FURDUI "MYSTERIES OF ANCIENTITY" (Blank Spots in the History of Civilization) in Ukrainian. Then I liked it because it contains within the framework of one book, many strange facts of the distant past were listed that do not fit into the prevailing official theory of the consistent development of civilization from simple to complex. And when I started running this site (largely under the influence of this book), I kept hoping to find it again and try to post its fragments on the site (translated into Russian). And now this book is in my hands for the second time. And the idea arose to start making a long-standing dream come true (although, of course, the task is labor-intensive). Its source data: Burgansky G.E., Furduy R.S. MYSTERIES OF THE LONG TIME: Big splashes in the history of civilization. Science and art book.
