A new book by Mikhail Seryakov from the cycle "Heritage of Ancestors" is devoted to the origins of the worldview of the Russian people that developed in the pagan era. One of its most striking manifestations is the "Pigeon Book" - a sacred legend of our distant ancestors, in which they expressed their idea of ​ ​ the origin of the universe and man. The core of this oldest work of Russian spiritual culture took shape at least 5,000 years ago. The book is intended for historians, specialists in mythology, archeology, linguistics, as well as for everyone interested in Russian history and culture.
