The Tsar's Mound
📆4th century B.C.
📍 Kerch, Crimea
A majestic monument of the ancient era, intended for the burial of one of the rulers of the Bosporan kingdom. It was excavated by A. Ashik in 1837, who discovered the entrance to the burial chamber.
Its embankment, about 17 meters high and 260 meters in circumference.
Stone slabs stacked on top of each other create an impressive dome more than 8 meters high. This structural solution is unique for this region and time.
Hidden inside is a unique stone tomb, close to a square (4.39 m × 4.35 m), covered by a false vault of 17 rows of overhanging slabs. The vault consists of plumb at the beginning and concentric circles at the top. A narrow corridor 36 meters long and up to 7 meters high, leads to the burial chamber as one approaches the crypt.
In the first centuries AD, there was a Christian chapel here, where inscriptions and crosses have been preserved.

🔴Sometimes, if you look around, you can notice many interesting and beautiful phenomena of nature.
“Ice jellyfish” thrown ashore in the Eastern Bosphorus Strait
Bizarre creatures have filled the Tokarevsky lighthouse in Vladivostok. If you don't know, it seems that the wave threw real jellyfish on the shore and they froze from the hard frost. But these are just Mother Nature's games.

🔴 🔵 We continue to familiarize you with architectural masterpieces of Russia.
“Golitsyn Baroque”
One of the most unusual and beautiful churches in Russia is the Church of the Sign of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Podolsk near Moscow.
The temple was erected by Prince Boris Alekseevich Golitsyn, the tutor of Peter the Great, as a sign of reconciliation with the sovereign. Construction began in 1690 with the participation of the Tsar himself, and was completed in 1699. The decor of the church does not correspond to the Russian traditions of that time and represents the style called “Golitsyn Baroque”.
The opening of the church was delayed due to the refusal of Patriarch Adrian to consecrate such an unusual structure, and only in 1704 the new patriarch, in the presence of Peter the Great, conducted the consecration.
Have a good, productive day everyone!
