The book is dedicated to the mineral resources of the Russian North In the book by A. G. Vinogradov and S. V. Zharnikova, it is shown that in the Russian North there are mineral wealth described in Aryan texts about the ancestral homeland. In connection with this, information about fossils is provided, taken from open (literary) sources of the 18th-20th centuries. We hope that this book will be convincing enough to help localize the ancestral homeland of the Indo-Europeans.
