The Ingul Catacomb culture pot (2600-2200 BC) from the collection of the Kryvyi Rih museum of local history. Due to the regular missile strikes on the city, the museum has hidden its collection in the vault, so such pictures are a rare opportunity to see its artefacts.

Oleksandr Buhai, one of the schoolboys who found in 1973 an Early Bronze Age Kernosivsky idol. On the right - Oleksandr poses near the chart he and his friends used to transport the statute from the field to the village. Fifty years later, the chart is functional. What a long life 😁

Зацініть класну церкву в місті Колумбус. У неї дуже незвична симатрія розташування хреста - нк відносно центру бідівлі, а відносно центру будівлі + шматочка неба між будівлею та вежею

Якщо ви фанати Девіда Тенанта та Майкда Шина, то хочу вам порекомендувати шоу Staged. Це запис того, як актори репетирували одну із п'єс під час локдауну. Девід і Майкл супер смішні і дотепні
