The secret of the 1200-year-old man-made caves, where the exiled king hid, is revealed
In the English county of Derbyshire there is a very ancient network of man-made caves. For a long time, scientists fought to unravel the secrets of these structures. They could not understand either their origin or purpose in any way. New research has shed light on this question. The caves turned out to be a thousand years older than historians originally believed. In addition, they were the haven of the exiled king, who was later canonized
What are the pre-Christian caves of the ancient elders near Voronezh famous for: Kostomarovskaya monastery
The Kostomaros Spassky Monastery, located not far from Voronezh, in one of the oldest settlements in the Don region, was formed in chalk pillars-outliers. And it was founded by the first Christians who fled to these lands from Byzantium. Even after the revolution, they hid here in cell caves, not wanting to give up their faith. This place is mysteriously attractive and incredibly beautiful. It is also called Russian Palestine
Genetic research: Why is there so much controversy over whether the Russians are Slavs?
At various times, the Russians were assigned a diametrically opposite genetic past. Some anthropologists and geneticists advocated the predominance of Finnish roots in the gene pool of Russian people, others defended Slavic origin.

After taking a walk along the picturesque Ngo Dong River, tourists have the opportunity to see the Hang Ca, Hang Giua and Hang Cuoi caves
Lunch at a depth of 225 m: buffet in the Great Hall of the Carlsbad Caves (USA)
When man called himself the king of nature, he signed his own death warrant. It is perhaps impossible to find an excuse for the fact that the unique ecosystem of the Carlsbad Caves (New Mexico, USA) has suffered for decades due to the fact that enterprising people turned them into a resting place and opened a dining room at a depth of 225 m
