The population of the afterlife of the Earth today is about one hundred billion people. They live in the Egyptian Duat and in the Sumerian country of Kurnugi, in the German-Scandinavian Valhalla and in the Christian paradise... Close bilateral ties have always existed between the world of the dead and the world of the living. Zoroastrian priests used drugs to send their ambassadors to the otherworldly kingdom. The navigators Odysseus and Brendan reached it on their ships. Some travelers, like Dante Alighieri, left detailed travel notes. Archeology has contributed to the study of the afterlife. Olga Kolobova and Valery Ivanov, writing under the pseudonym Oleg Ivik, worked for several years on archaeological expeditions in southern Russia. Constantly in contact with the afterlife, they asked themselves the question: what are its political history, culture, geography, flora and fauna?.. As a result of their research, this book came out. It provides a brief historical and geographical overview of the largest states of the underworld from ancient times to the present day.
