Arkaim builders - the people of the Sintashta culture - one of the Bronze Age societies that previously were not present on our land charts, yet they had the strongest influence on the civilizations known to us. We now realize that not only resources for Mesopotamia, Egypt and other states of the Bronze Age were supplied by these peoples. Many technologies that changed the world were also generated there, on the periphery.
