An open theater was built on the site of the ancient fort, creating unnecessary emphasis on the original structure.
During the temporary occupation of Crimea, Russian archaeologists and developers completely destroyed the Chersonese Tauride. This was reported by senior researcher at the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Evelina Kravchenko at the III International Forum of the Crimean Platform Expert Network.
According to him, the conquerors built a new, open theater at the excavation site, and most of the archaeological findings – frescoes, dishes, icons – were taken to Russian museums.
In 2015-2016, developers blocked the archaeological remains with observation platforms: towers, walls and columns. Later, an open theater was built on the site of the ancient fortress, creating a load of almost one ton on the original structure, and then the construction of the New Chersonesos archaeological park began.
“The Russians didn’t understand anything about the geological situation in this area, so they started to remove the soil from the area with ordinary excavators somehow they dug an old spring there, so everything was flooded,” said Kravchenko.
Chersonese Tauride is the only monument of world importance in Crimea. Today, on the site of the archaeological remains, an almost new city has been built.
The Chersonese Tauride is a unique historical monument of antiquity. The architect of the policy was Hippodamus his building plan was based on a system of longitudinal and transverse streets that intersected at right angles, forming neighborhoods.
It was previously reported that Russia stole or destroyed more than a million objects in Ukrainian museums.
