This volume of the History of the Culture of the Peoples of the World presents an interesting era - ancient, legendary Europe, starting from time immemorial pagan times and ending with the establishment of Christian norms and customs. It was during this period that most of European mythology and ancient epic tales, which recently gave rise to the mythology of modern times, have their roots - stories about brave knights and powerful sorcerers, beautiful elves and evil goblins, trolls and orcs. In all these stories, ancient and new, the most important role is played by the exotic setting, rites, clothes, weapons of the characters - it is they who give the narrative a completely unique flavor and charm of the legendary time of heroes and wizards. The book presented to the reader contains a story about real swords and goblets, crowns, fur coats and robes, amulets and rings of ancient Germans, Scandinavians, Slavs and Huns.
