- Every nation, like every person, has its own history - unique and never to be repeated. Some nations rise and flourish; others withdraw or are pushed from the processes of history. The origin and past of some nations can be reconstructed on the basis of their abundant heritage of material and spiritual culture, while others leave researchers only meager vestiges of their life. What is the origin of the Lithuanians, a people living on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea? Of numerous Baltic tribes, they and the Latvians alone survived. How did they live hundreds or even thousands of years ago? What did they adopt from their neighbors, and what did they transmit to them? Using the findings of linguistics, archaeology, and anthropology, three of Lithuania's most eminent scholars - Zigmas Zinkevicius, Aleksiejus Luchtanas, and Gintautas Cesnys - answer these questions in a book for the general reader.
