Summer is the time not only for holidays, travel and holidays, but also archaeological explorations. On August 15, the representative of this difficulty (living in a field camp and worked with a shovel under the sun for a few hours a day), but they celebrated their professional holidays.
Panticapay and ancient Chersonosos
Novgorod was invented by archaeologist's day, but it is best to celebrate him, perhaps, in Crimea-a real treasury of Russian archaeological archaeological, where many annual scientific expeditions-cherrososos, East Bospor, Feodosia, Sudakskaya, Otshkinskay. Discover, big and small, do continuously. Therefore, for example, in the current archaeological season, scientists have discovered a part of the marble plate with a line of Lapidar on the edge of Akra's ancient settlement – perhaps the text of the ancient decree of the second century BC. At excavations in the Artesian settlement near Kerch, archaeologists found a piece of Zeus's marble statue. And at the excavation of the mound in Beloglinka village – the abnormal burial of the bronze era.
Some archaeological objects in Crimea – the same Chersonesos – are mostly in Russia and many people outside its border, often equally interesting, only experts only know. A reporter of the National Assembly newspaper set out to one of these non -causing monuments on the night before the archeology.
Crimea's history is completed with dramatic events. One of them is a living witness. We know about others from books. About third – from … the drawings of the ancients, I will even say – very ancient people. The caves of Tash-Aira (falling rocks) kept a secret of military operations, which was carried out on the peninsula five to six thousand years ago! This archaeological monument in Bakhchisarai district, near Peroshchelnoy village, is not as famous as Chersonesos or Panticapaea, but more and more ancient.
Deeper cream with archaeologists Crimean
Today, about thirty numbers are preserved on the rock, describing armed, unused and dying people, as well as the siege of the firm fortress. We can say that Tash-Air is a type of military summary, a giant council with an area of fifteen square meters, telling about military activities where a thousand years ago. The language of this message, has come to us from the depths of centuries, is understandable not only for archaeologists, but also for people to be curious. There is an opportunity to imagine, try to get a secret that these images retain.
Alas, it is Viking's understanding of the cave images of Tash-Aira, who plays an evil joke with a unique monument. To display ancient drawings on rocks, they need to be moistened with water. Naturally, the tourists with the knowledge of the Viking and some people are disturbed by the Viking people do so, thus destroying the unique battalions of Canvas Canvas of the Bronze Age, although now a shield is installed at the facility, on which you can check all the drawings in detail without harm.
Tash-Air's cave was opened between the thirty centuries ago. Currently, drawings are only preserved in small pieces, are also threatened. All drawings are made by reddish brown paint, seems to be prepared on a special fat preparation, so they are absorbed into the rock. Most of them are merged by a single conspiracy.
At the same time, Tash-Air is far from Crimea's oldest archaeological monument. Archaeologists excavated – the literal sense of this word – the history of the peninsula to the depth of the stone period.
By the way, that's the way – “Kopiny deeper!” – Weekend trips to Sushkinsky archeology expedition with immersion in this topic are called – participating in real excavations. However, the burial area on the edges, not far from the village of Mazanka, Simferopolsky district, from my only century before our 4th century of our age, and we will return to the darkness of the centuries.
What criminals have committed the Ministry of Education
In Crimea, some places of an ancient man are opened at the time-Wolf Grotto, Kiik-Koba, Chokurch. They are caves and caves in which the traces of the ancient habitats are discovered. Although frank, the first archaeologists on the peninsula in the early 19th century were only interested in the rest of the ancient era and impressive Scythian mounds. And in the second half of the century, researchers have become interested in “prehistoric times”.
The discovery of Crimea stone was related to the name of Konstantin Merezhkovsky. Although he is still a student of the Department of Natural Department of Physics and Mathematics of St. His first discovery was Wolf Grotto (Borya-Toshik, meaning Wolf Wolf Hole,), located in Mazanka village, Simferopol district, on the right of Tauris highway, if you go from Simferopol towards Kerch. A cave was formed in a limestone slope of the Blastavek River Valley millions of years ago, and in the dawn of humanity, it became the hiding place for people of the stone period. Now its height reaches five, the width is about eleven, and the length is fifteen meters.
Unfortunately, all archaeological documents that Merezhkovsky received during the research process at Wolf Grotto had lost. Yes, and only the remaining three small works from their labor, even though the scientist dreams of writing a book about them. I have eliminated the plans of all my caves, like their vertical cuts, will be published in my future work, archaeologists hope. Alas, she never saw the light for a mediocre, but there was still reason: the researcher tried to receive from the Ministry of Finance with the amount of four thousand rubles for publishing science in the stone period in Crimea, but failed.
Bustling soldiers, but Vetton Crimea
Another parking of an ancient man-Kik-koba, meaning wild cave, located in Belogorsky district, on the right of Zuya River, 25 km from Simferopol. This is a tree with an area of about 50 square meters, which is attributed to the era of early biology. About a hundred years ago, in 1924-1925, the Soviet archaeologists found the rest of the Neanderthal (women and children), about 500 ancient tools, a bone of a cave bear, a giant deer, wild horse and other animals.
Chokurcha (the so-called village, where the monument is placed)-a gorot cavity is about five and the width is about seven meters on the left bank of a small Salir in the modern Simferopol line, on Lugovoi street. It was in Chokurch in the twenties of the last century, the Neanderthal skeleton was first discovered in Russia. In addition, among the findings of archaeologists, Flint -Shotty, the bone tools and the rest of ancient animals, and scientists have found common drawings on a bump of the cave under a layer of soot -the image of the sun with rays, mammoths and fish are empty in limestone.
Yes, conclusions, another stroke. In Mangup, in the melody of Russian archaeologists who were once written: Let me die near Aott, but Crimea is eternal, but Crimea is eternal! “
