Unique archaeological research from the summer of 2021 revealed 6,000-year-old mounds near Mount Říp. What can these mounds tell us about the culture of our ancestors? Together with specialists from several fields, we will uncover the reasons for the construction of mounds and the significance of their location. The documentary brings viewers closer to the life of the first farmers who settled our landscape. How did the mounds affect the lives of people in this area and why did they choose the area around Říp for construction? Why were some of the mounds up to 130 meters long and what was their significance for burial rituals? These are just some of the questions that the documentary will try to answer. You will get an unusual view of the culture and traditions of our ancestors and become a part of uncovering the secrets of our country.
