The Tunguska Mystery The Eurasian Knot
-
- 歴史
In 1908, a powerful explosion roared above the remote Tunguska territory in Siberia, Russia. The blast leveled an area the size of London and powerful enough to decimate Manhattan. What caused it? An asteroid, aliens, some kind of secret experiment? The force of the blast vaporized all evidence. What became known as the “Tunguska Event” became a mystery, inspiring thousands to travel to the region, investigate and speculate. So what was the Tunguska Event and what lore, theories, conspiracies, and communities emerged from it? And, what are the disaster’s environmental legacies? The Eurasian Knot sat down with Andy Bruno to talk about his latest book uncovering the Tunguska mystery.
