Russia:Cultural Topics

Fascinating !!! See video below

"One of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century happened in Russia. You've probably never heard of it.

In 1987, archaeologists uncovered Arkaim in the Chelyabinsk region, a massive circular city from the Bronze Age.

Built 3,800 years ago with such precision that many couldn't believe it was real.

It should have rewritten textbooks. It should have been in every history class.

Western researchers visited. Then silence. No headlines. No reports. Nothing.

Why hasn't it entered global consciousness?

Maybe because it breaks too many accepted truths"https://x.com/rinalu_/status/2000555615975010558[/color]

"Russian athletes were banned under the banner of "principles." But this was never about principles. It was about competition.

Russia dominated the Olympics for decades. Figure skating, gymnastics, wrestling, hockey. Consistent top-three finisher.

Then suddenly, it's about "values."

The US invaded Iraq on false pretenses, killed over a million people, and competed [in the Olympics, apparently] without question.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, documented in real time. Zero sporting consequences.

Which makes the standard painfully clear.

When you cannot beat someone fairly, you change the rules. Russian athletes were removed because they kept winning."
