Numerous scientific works and museum exhibitions convince us that almost everything is known about human history and that historians have an answer to almost every question. However, if we look more closely into the distant past, we find many contradictions and inconsistencies. Why, for example, did medieval painters depict ancient characters as their contemporaries, wearing clothes that corresponded to the artist's time of life?
How could ancient warriors strike their enemies with bronze swords if bronze is a brittle material and it is difficult to obtain a good cutting blade from bronze?
And why were steel weapons found in the excavations of the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs, if ancient Egypt did not know metal? Or did it? And how, after all, to explain the steel chisel that was found in the pyramid of Khufu, built 2,900 years BC?

For history buffs, we invite you to our library. You can find answers to all your questions.
Our rector A.A. Abdukakhimov provided the books. Thank you for the opportunity!
