All the results presented in the book were obtained recently, are new and are published for the first time. It turns out that the famous “History” of ancient Herodotus tells about the Great u003d “Mongol” Empire of the 13th–17th centuries. Herodotus begins with the events of the 12th century AD. e. and ends with the Great Troubles in Rus', that is, the events of 1604–1610. Herodotus describes the “False” Dmitry, Marina Mnishek, Vasily Shuisky. An unexpected discovery is the fact that Ataman Ermak and conquistador Cortes are reflections of the same conqueror of the 16th century. It turns out that Ataman Ermak conquered not Asian Siberia at all, but Central America. And this famous campaign is described in Spanish chronicles as the Mexican expedition of the conquistador Cortes. This allows us to look at the history of the development of America with completely new eyes. As the authors note, the reconstruction they propose is still conjectural. At the same time, the authors are responsible for the accuracy and reliability of the dating they calculated.
