Trypillya. In the beginning there was clay

"Trypillya... What did they call themselves to stand out among other tribes? What could their neighbors have called them? We will never know. Will someone ever invent a time machine and get a bunch of information about this mysterious people of ours from the past? Ours? Despite scientific or anti-scientific discussions of "who, where, from where and to where", the Trypillya people have lived on the lands of Ukraine for two millennia and therefore cannot be strangers to us." The Trypillya people lived in more than a dozen regions of Ukraine, had many relatives and left behind almost two thousand settlements. Vladyslav Chabanyuk, historian and director of the Trypillya Culture Archaeological Reserve, answers all possible questions about the culture that existed on the territory of Ukraine several thousand years BC in an accessible and fascinating way. The author, relying on the work of many scientists, reveals the secrets of Trypillya life, architecture, fashion and social order. It makes more sense of a mysterious culture that humanity has been exploring for almost one and a half hundred years.
