Strange people

What is the lecture about?

Anthropologists are often accused of hiding inconvenient facts. The bones of giants and dwarves, aliens, and yetis languish in basements behind sealed iron doors.

Under the label “top secret,” a dark mystery lurks about the Atlanteans and the Proto-[insert your favorite people here]. Particularly valuable artifacts are simply destroyed. And instead of all this splendor, the public is fed a bland parade of stooped figures, where a macaque trails behind a pair of unshaven homeless men in various states of intoxication.

But you can’t hide the truth! Drobyshevsky will open the vaults and dusty files; the people must know the truth about the strange people who inhabited the planet long before the pyramids, Baalbek, and Uryupinsk were built.
