What was Aratta? Why is this most ancient civilisation important to us today?
The Arattan civilisation has come to signify the creation of an assembly of tribes and nations which ultimately spread across the entire span of Eurasia. Aratta itself became an epithet for "abundance" and "glory". Aratta created script, texts, writing, laws and precepts, contracts, trade, judicial systems, agriculture, spirited arts & crafts - within a peaceful, matriarchal civilisation many millennia before the founding of Sumer around 3200 BCE which had itself sprung, seemingly ‘ready-formed’, into archaeological consciousness according to Sumerian scholars.
So why are Western historians of ancient civilisations predominantly focused on studying Rome, Greece and Egypt, almost to the exclusion of fabulous Mesopotamian Sumer and its progenitor, this Aratta?
Its rich petroglyphic archives deposited by Stone Age communities of mammoth-hunters in Ukraine can no longer be ignored, accordingly, this book sets out to trace the development of this civilisation from its origin on the territory of Ukraine, the northern Black Sea Land of Aratta. From 20,000 BCE, pre-state Aratta progressed from being a well-organised society to one whose subsequent wisdom-keepers would, by 12,000 BCE, have inscribed their chronicles in sanctuary grottoes at ‘Kamyana Mohyla' (southern Ukraine). In this “Stone Library”, which remains virtually unknown in the Western world, lies a written agreement from c. 6,200 BCE, an appeal for mutual aid between missionaries from �atal H�y�k (Anatolia) which singularly justifies recognition of Aratta as the world’s first known state and founder of the “Indo-European” community of tribes and languages.
In this image-rich book, Dr. Shilov critically examines the extent to which Aratta’s tendrils advanced into Asia Minor, India, Mesopotamia, Egypt and indeed, across Europe covering the most extensive timescale imaginable. This is far more than ‘mere history’, it is an analysis of how the apotheosis of Aratta (“Trypillian archaeological culture”) came to be eclipsed by the rise of its off-shoot, the slave-holding civilisation of Sumer.
This progressive trend was paralleled by a movement away from the ancient intuitive perception of their world to one which was based upon logical analysis. The author stresses the importance of understanding the balance between the material form and field essence components of ‘physical space’ and their interpretation by the conscious and subconscious mind. It was this fundamental distinction which drew Aratta’s Brahman priests to dissociate “life-and-death” from “existence and non-existence”. Dr. Shilov’s lifetime experience of excavating hundreds of burial kurhans and graves across the steppes of Ukraine made it possible to "decipher" the mythological rituals associated with those mounds which closely resemble those rituals in the Indo-Aryan Rigveda, yet arose long before they appeared in India, corroborating the linguistic conception that the Aryans and their beliefs originated in the lower Dnipro area of Ukraine.
Drawing upon sources rarely encountered by Western researchers Dr. Shilov describes the migrations of ancient Eurasian tribes; the spread of Vedic philosophy into India; the origins of Pelasgian and Greek legends; the rise of Cimmerian, Scythian, Slavic and western European nations; the emergence of Kyivan Rus and through Cossack traditions, an appreciation of the sustained preservation of the core tenets of Arattan culture, still maintained in the very heart of modern Ukraine.
At a time when modern civilisations often exhibit uncivilised behaviour, an understanding of Aratta’s precepts of peaceful, harmonious society is surely worthy of our attention. "Ancient History of Aratta-Ukraine" is sincerely recommended.

About the Author
Dr. Yuri Shilov, born Zaporizhia region, Ukraine. Graduate of Moscow State University; doctorate, Ukrainian Academy of Science. Academic appointments: Professor of Ancient History; Professor of Ukrainian Studies, Kyiv; Cossack Military Institute. Head of several public organisations of ancient history and archaeology. Honorary Doctor of Historical Sciences; Professor of the Russian Right Slavic Academy and Inter-regional Academy of Humanities; Head of History, All-Slavic Council; Colonel General of the International Academy of Cossacks. Member of Ukrainian Academy of Original Ideas; International Academy of Humanities; New York Academy of Sciences. Author of hundreds of publications: over 30 books - scientific, journalistic and artistic. Member of the National Union of Writers of Ukraine and Russia.
Dr. Shilov's significant discoveries, gleaned over a lifetime of archaeological investigation of Ukrainian Steppe kurgans and graves, have revised academic understanding of the origins of Indo-Europeans, Aryans and Slavs. He has shown that civilisation did not originate from slave-holding Sumer (c.3,200 BCE in Mesopotamia) but began from the community of Aratta (c. 6,800 BCE in the Danube-Dnipro region). For these discoveries he has received international and national honours with monuments in the city of Komsomolsk and the city of Sicheslav (Dnipropetrovsk).

Accomplished and erudite
By John Duncan
I have waited years for a serious academic book to appear, written in English, that appraises the archaeological cultures that arose in the northern Black Sea lands many millennia before the Sumerian civilisation. This book far exceeds my expectations, not only in the almost encyclopaedic scope of time and territory that it covers, and richness of illustration, but particularly in the hundreds of references to all related and relevant research papers, monographs and textbooks that have appeared since the early 19th century explorations in this subject. Those alone give this book the stamp of authority that allows the critical reader to have complete confidence in the veracity of Shilov’s expansive and detailed understanding of his subject.�
This is a particularly difficult study to explore if you cannot read Ukrainian or Russian to access the wealth of information that is available on the internet in those languages. Personally, I have been awed by the archaeological exhibits of this archaic civilisation in both State and private museums across Ukraine, and purchased many books (in Ukrainian and Russian) by the foremost researchers of the ancient Trypillian civilisation, including the pioneering decipherment of proto-Sumerian petroglyphic texts discovered in Ukraine, but nowhere have I found a book in English that can even closely rival Shilov’s book on Ancient Ukraine.�
This book is almost like a “Rosetta stone” in opening up far more about this fascinating subject than I had ever hoped to find. Of course, sensational new discoveries tend to receive treatments that span a spectrum from applause to disbelief and Shilov’s research and discoveries have evidently attracted both polarisations, from East and West. However, do not be misled into thinking this book is heavily biased towards the Communist doctrines of historical materialism, of which Shilov is openly critical, and do not be surprised to see his scope of review covers research from academics in the US, UK, western and eastern Europe, and Asia. This is an astonishingly thorough book that will be my foremost reference text for many years. It is perhaps the most useful and best value book I have ever bought.
One of the strengths of this book is that it offers a chronology for the plethora of cultural periods of prehistoric Eurasia. Although the majority of academic historians and archaeologists will be perfectly accepting of the veracity of radiocarbon dating techniques that the author here has drawn upon (even though scientific claims for precision of absolute dating of artefacts can still be challenged), one can at least choose to interpret some of the precise dates within this book, such as archaeoastronomical dates, as an acceptable and significant guideline rather than an absolute.�
Perhaps the most exciting revelation in this book, for me, was to read of the discovery of identical archaic texts found in Ukraine and Catal Hoyak which give clear proof of their mutual cultural and spiritual connection across the Black Sea in the dawning of civilisation, radiocarbon dated to 6200 � 97 BCE. Since those texts clearly predate the famous Romanian Tartaria tablets that have been radiocarbon dated to 5500 BCE and been claimed to be the earliest writing in the world, this book clearly shows that Ukraine has an even more ancient history of civilisation that genuinely deserves attention.

UKRAINIAN NATIONALIST POLEMIC WITHOUT ANY TRACES OF CONVENTIONAL SCHOLARSHIP
By STARMAN
I BOUGHT THIS BOOK BECAUSE OF AN INTEREST IN THE SUMERIAN HOMELAND - ARATTA. TO SAY IT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE PURCHASE IS TO BE KIND. THIS IS NOT SCHOLARSHIP IN THE WESTERN SENSE OF THE WORD (OR PERHAPS ANY OTHER SENSE). IT'S A CONFUSED DIATRIBE ABOUT THE ASSUMED UNIQUELY PIVOTAL ROLE OF UKRAINE IN THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION. UNFORTUNATELY, HISTORICAL FACTS, RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND (ALL REFERENCED MATERIAL IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE ORIGINAL RUSSIAN OR UKRAINIAN). ALL FACTS, EVIDENCE AND PROOFS ARE ONLY OFFERED TO THE READER AS ASSERTIONS BASED ON THE AUTHOR'S (AND OTHER) PERSONAL AUTHORITY - CLEARLY REMINISCENT OF SOVIET SCHOLARSHIP. IT'S A 400 PLUS PAGE POLEMIC WHOSE ONLY AGENDA IS TO PROMOTE UKRAINIAN NATIONALISM (NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING WHEN YOU'RE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR IS RUSSIA, BUT BAD FOR SCHOLARSHIP). HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE NOT A UKRAINIAN NATIONALIST OR IF YOU JUST HAVE AN APPRECIATION FOR WESTERN SCHOLARSHIP, THEN DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY.
I AM SURPRISED THAT THE OTHER 1-STAR CRITIC DIDN'T MENTION THAT TOWARD THE BACK OF THE BOOK THE AUTHOR BEGINS TO SPECULATE ABOUT SOME OTHERWISE UNKNOWN WRITINGS ON UKRAINIAN CAVE WALLS THAT HAVE BEEN DECIPHERED BY HIMSELF AND OTHER RUSSIAN LINGUISTS. THE AUTHOR THEN BEGINS TO DISCUSS THE POSSIBLE SOURCES AS ALIEN VISITATIONS, ETC. PERHAPS, UNDERSTANDABLY, THE 1-STAR CRITIC GAVE UP ON THIS BOOK LONG BEFORE REACHING THAT CHAPTER. IF ONLY I HAD.
TO BE FAIR, UKRAINE PROBABLY HAS PLAYED A MORE IMPORTANT ROLE IN EARLY P.I.E. LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL EVOLUTION THEN THE WEST GIVES IT CREDIT FOR BECAUSE OF SOVIET SUPPRESSION OF DECADES OF UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND LINGUISTIC SCHOLARLY RESEARCH. BUT WHEN I ENCOUNTERED THE FIRST MENTION OF "ALIENS" IN THE BOOK, I CLOSED IT AND RETURNED IT FOR A FULL REFUND.

CAVEAT EMPTOR....
By C
So many things wrong with this "work" (if you want to call it that!), where-oh-where do I begin! First of all, this is NOT a work of historical scholarship, but rather a MESS of poorly researched comparative mythology and archaeological studies. Secondly, the book is so poorly written/translated that it is an absolute MIRACLE if the reader gets beyond the first chapter -- and if the reader actually does, he or she should be given a medal! Because, honestly, this is just a real piece of disconnected garbage -- probably written by the author after weeks of binge alcohol indulgence. The Aratta-Ukraine "connection" is so incredibly weak that it makes the Nazi pseudo-science of the 1930s look like Grade-A scholarship. And at the end of the day, one must come to the conclusion that the author has very similar goals as the Nazis -- namely, to convince the reader that Ukrainians (instead of Germans this time) are a "master race" who are descended from a "superior" human civilization of the primordial past. Believe this nonsense if you will, but as for me, it ain't gonna happen. Not hard to see why Ukraine is currently home to some of the most extreme right-wing anti-Semitic political groups in the world, and why Nazi symbolism is on the rise as well (e.g. Azov battalion, Svoboda, etc.).All in all, a HORRIBLE BOOK.
