About
About The Russian Archaeologist
The Russian Archaeologist is Sergei Merkelov, a treasure hunter who, in his own words, explores crazy places so you don’t have to. Sunken ships, storm drains, abandoned military ground, riverbeds and jungle. He films what he finds and posts it to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook, where the finds run from colonial-era coins and megalodon teeth to things that needed handing to somebody official.
This is the official store
russianarch.com is the only store run by the channel. Anything you find selling this name anywhere else is not connected to it, and nothing bought there reaches him. This one does: the designs are the channel’s own, and it is his business behind the till.
T-shirts, long sleeves, hoodies and hats are on the merch page, and everything ships to 38 countries. Garment measurements are on the size guide, delivery is explained on the shipping page, and what happens if something arrives wrong is on the returns page.
