This weekend had cultural and historical meaning for my son and me because we visited one of the most interesting places of Kerch - Lapidarium - the archeological museum.
Kerch is the most ancient city of Russia! (official data, it has been proved). Its age is more than 2600 years.
And one of the 10th most ancient cities of the world, so Kerch gorund really hides millions of mysteries and miracles inside.
From time to time archeologists and scientists get access to them, and then we get a chance to see what was hidden in history for centuries...
Lapidarium is the place where we can see many treasures that were got out from historical mysteries.
We had an excursion there, and I was happy to see how impressed and interested my son was.
We had been there 2 years aho, he was 6, and maybe it was too early for him, he didn't get the essence of these things. Now he can't get it fully either, but still now I do see real interest and more understanding of what he sees there.
There were more than 20 kids on this excursion, and I'm glad that we're not alone who visits such places..
So now some photos for you, guys:
Athena
this statue was found during excavations in Kerch some years ago!
It's the latest treasure found there - a statue of one of Gods
The second part of our excursion was a master-class for kids devoted to ancient painting and decoration. And I'll show it in the next post.
