Короткий опис(реферат):
The article discusses the sources of innovations that paved
the way for metallurgy in the Late Bronze Age and a number
of fallacies, forming the legacy of Soviet archaeology, that
entered the contemporary archaeology of Eastern Europe
and gained the status of axioms underpinning the body of
universally recognized knowledge. One such fallacy is the
"Seymin-Turbin Transcultural Phenomenon that was born
in the Altay Territory" (Chernykh, Kuzminykh 1987). When
viewed in the light of newly discovered facts, it turns out
that the Seymin terra incognita of V.S. Bochkarov was situated not in Siberia but in Right-Bank Ukraine. This region,
unlike the Volga Region or even less so the Altay, since the
5th millennium BC had formed the northern portion of an
Eneolithic early-agrarian civilisation according to Machnik
(1987). These several millennia of cultural development
ensured "an exceptionally high development level of metallurgy and metalworking for those times" in Eastern Europe
(Klochko 2017a), which in turn had a considerable impact on the subsequent cultural development of northern Eurasia.
Therefore, does it appear that the Aryans set out on
their route to India from the banks of the Dnieper? Or rather from the banks of the Rhine but via the Dnieper? What
will DNA analyses tell us?
