The NINTH EDITION of the superbestseller, which has sold out in record numbers! A sensational book that upended all the usual ideas about the history of Rus', which dates back not 1200–1500 years, as textbooks lie, but ten times more! This “prehistoric” Rus' is actually completely banned in “scientific circles.” “Professional historians” do not believe in it. Its existence is denied by “serious scientists.” Its traces are diligently ignored by doctors of sciences and academicians, accustomed to hushing up inconvenient facts that do not fit into the Procrustean bed of scientific officialdom, although such facts become more and more every year. In defiance of unspoken censorship and “professional” taboos, based not on the retelling of mossy “scientific” "myths, and based on the latest data from archaeology, climatology and even genetics, this book offers a new, revolutionary look at the origins of Ancient Rus' and the deepest roots of the Russian people, unravels the main secrets of our past, breaks through the conspiracy of silence and exposes the poverty of historical officialdom! The book was previously published under entitled “10 thousand years of Russian history. From the Flood to the Baptism of Rus'."
