Stanislav Motl has been fascinated all his life by searching for new experiences and uncovering secrets. He looks for them on the seas, in the mountains or in underground caves, among people, but also in libraries and archives. He learned to read even seemingly meaningless documents and look for truths from ancient times in them.

"I began to understand that the Past is very often related to the Today, I understood that if a person has a good handle on the Past, he can quite often predict the Future. Because, as is well known, History repeats itself very often and everything we experience today has already been here - even if in other forms.
From the first moment I spent in the archive, when I was still a primary school student, I not only find incredibly human stories and destinies in them, but above all I experience a great adventure there every time. I love mysteries, whether historical or literary, of which Albert Einstein wrote that they are the eternal fire of youth. And that whoever resists them lives a boring life. I am grateful to Fate for giving me a chance not to live a boring life.”
