First interest and first discoveries
As recognized by the director Andrei Sklyarov,school with a story he did not work out. She was not particularly interested in giving teachers. Memorizing dates and events seemed like a thing devoid of logic, and therefore meaningless. In general, this subject of the school curriculum did not find a response in the young soul.

The result of the expedition was the film"Forbidden themes of history: Mysteries of Ancient Egypt", where Andrei Sklyarov acted as a screenwriter and director. His first cinematic work presents yet another glance at the well-known and seemingly bludgeoning even ancient lovers theme of the mystery of the ancient pyramids. The focus of the researcher on this time were the technical and technological features of the buildings of Giza. Despite the hackneyed theme, the film turned out bright and fascinating. A new look at historical facts through the prism of technical features and characteristics, the original interpretation, a lively presentation made the tape interesting and informative for a wide audience.
