Use of fire

Fire has been a pivotal element in human civilization, dating back to Neanderthals who skillfully utilized it for cooking and tool-making over 400,000 years ago. The cultural significance of fire is explored through the connection between the word "Svarog" and the Sanskrit "swastika," a symbol with deep historical roots in various cultures. The book delves into the evolution of forging techniques among ancient tribes, particularly the Scythians and Sarmatians, and highlights the enduring legacy of fire in practices like using a samovar, which reflects ancient traditions.
