The picturesque "Batakovo" tract is situated on the left
bank of the great Siberian Irtysh river, 150 km to the North from Omsk.
Primordial quiet, the beauty and the wealth of nature seem to turn the
man to the very first days of his existence, to the far-off past times.
Numerous well-observed archaeological objects vividly illustrate the scenes
of ancient human history.
More than 150 archaeological relicts and monuments of
all epochs from the Stone ages till the ages of Modern history are exposed
there. Thanks to the density of archaeological antiquities in the tract
of "Batakovo" one can observe there the ancient sites, the settlements,
the citadels, the tumulus and burial mounds in bright ensembles. Only on
the territory of this tract there still exist the remains of the largest
cities and necropolis left by the aborigines more than 2000 years ago.
The preservation of the antiquities is unique as for many centuries, day
by day, they have been being destroyed only by wear and tear of time. Even
now one can clearly see the lay-out of ancient city streets and fortification
particulars.
