Cultural and historical provocateurs

Perhaps this is how we can call our ideas. Probably someone will call us deceivers, but it is possible that our work will give birth to a new historian. Someone will one day see the remains of a temple far in the mountains or in the desert, begin to study the issue, get carried away and, as a result of the study, become a famous scientist, historian, archaeologist. Such provocations are made not with the aim of making a historical forgery to be sold to private collections, but to create a reason to visit distant places, escape from the city, break the habitual way of life and feel the spirit of the pioneers. How exciting to stumble upon the remains of a grandiose temple far away in the mountains or in the forest. Thoughts about how many more secrets on our planet are not disclosed will attract people to libraries and universities. Children will read books about the adventures of Indiana Jones and Christopher Columbus. People are still excited by the pyramids of Maya and ancient Egypt, the temples in Cambodia and the idols of Easter Island. What will tourists think about and what can they feel when they find a concrete idol covered with moss in the form of a head of a huge deity on a cliff on the bank of a mountain river or a waterfall. Thoughts of ancient, vanished civilizations will give birth to new legends. About how many heated debates about the antiquity of our works will be. Yes, we are provocateurs, but it’s great!
