In the vast steppes of Siberia, where winter lasts ten months we meet three unique races that will show their wandering life and survival techniques in this inhospitable environment . Alongside Tansendaryá we\\\'ll see that an itinerant camp consists of works gers , traditional Mongolian tents and an intense activity including training horses, herding goats and camels husbandry is organized.

In the Taiga, under boreal forest we\\\'ll find Tsaatan people, whose lives are closely tied to reindeer husbandry. Their presence in these forests is in danger because the structure of its closed society, where inbreeding has caused the deterioration to their kind.

We also will approach a thriving village of itinerant Kazakh farmers, they are also expert falconers, which will give us the opportunity to closely observe the breathtaking hunts of huge eagles with two meter wingspan and seven kilos of weight.

Indo-Europeans in Northern Europe Part 2

The Original Indo-Europeans were the speakers of the Proto-Indo-European language (PIE), a prehistoric language of the Eurasian Steppes.

Knowledge of them comes chiefly from the linguistic reconstruction, along with material evidence from archeology. According to some archaeologists, PIE speakers cannot be assumed to have been a single, identifiable people or tribe, but were a group of loosely related populations ancestral to the later, still partially prehistoric, Bronze Age Indo-Europeans. This view is held especially by those archaeologists who position an original homeland of vast extent and immense time depth. However, this view is not shared by linguists, as proto-languages generally occupy small geographical areas over a very limited time span, and are generally spoken by close-knit communities such as a single small tribe.

The first or Proto-Indo-Europeans likely lived during the late Neolithic, or roughly 6000 years ago. The current best evidence places them in the forest-steppe zone just North of the Black and Caspian Seas in Eastern Europe in what is now Ukraine, Russia, and Kazakhstan.

The Proto-Indo-Europeans were most likely Iranian pastoral nomads with a horse riding warrior culture. During the Bronze Age the Indo-Europeans developed Bronze technology and part of society developed a manufacturing culture with a merchant class that traveled the vast prairies with horse drawn wagons trading their manufactured goods, weapons, tools, cooking utensils, and other goods from the Balkans to the Ural Mountains. The Indo-European language was the language of the traders and they spread it everywhere they went and it became the Lingua franca of the era. Some of the merchants moved and settled in the places they traded at and spread the language even more. Eventually the original language developed into a group of sister languages.

Writer Graham Hancock traverses the world and explains his controversial theory that an ancient civilization, highly intelligent people who sailed the planet as early as 10,500 B.C., spread advanced astronomical knowledge and built ancient observatories.Skeptics may scoff, but Hancock earnestly points out similarities in giant stone structures in the Egyptian desert and Cambodian jungles, and on Easter Island and in Micronesia, he points out what he considers evidence of an ancient society of seafarers. His ideas may seem utterly bizarre at first, but Hancock presents them in an understated and good-natured manner, and he also makes clever use of computer graphics and aerial photography to illustrate the startling similarities in ancient structures found from the North Atlantic to the South Pacific.Hancock raises some puzzling questions, and even if you don't buy his arguments, bolstered though they are by mathematical equations and astronomical diagrams, the Quest for the Lost Civilization is an entertaining mixture of archeology, astronomy, and speculation.

History of man from nomadic hunter-gatherer to the invention of written communication.

Ethiopia is home to some of the oldest settlements in the world. This cradle of mankind is a country born from legend and shrouded in mystery. An ancient home to both Jews and Muslims, Ethiopia is also the world's second oldest Christian nation. But if you were a Christian during ancient times, and if you wanted to stay alive, the only place to practice your faith was underground.
