Forgotten for decades and perfectly preserved in the frozen ground, the underground fortress of the Samoyeds is gradually revealing its secrets. Real archaeological treasures have been discovered, in quality and quantity like nowhere else in Siberia, shedding new light on the people who lived there.
At the time when Europe was colonizing America, Russia was interested in this immense space in the East. But the Tsars immediately had to face hostile resistance from the Samoyed people, better known today through the peaceful Nenets. Looting, murders, raids. For nearly 200 years the great Karatché, king of the Samoyed clan, continued to harass the Russians and push back the colonization of Siberia.
However, in 1730, when nothing seemed to be able to stop it, the great Karatché clan suddenly gave in. Who dealt the fatal blow to the reign of the Warrior Kings of Siberia?
