Gelendzhik

Some of them were strongly destroyed, and probably without human intervention. Not yet people break! The roots of the trees by the nearby passing them from the soil and the dolmen collapsed. Surviving as dolmens were like fungi. I remind you that according to official hypothesis, a dolmen – a tomb for nobles of the clan members, scene of religious rites. So looking at these is not the bird houses, not like mushrooms, this version seems complete nonsense. Well, is it conceivable that a respected man, the head of noble family after his death and the subsequent honors and then pushed here in a stone hovel? And at the same time left no inscriptions or image? But even so the homeless do not bury! Of course, in other parts of the Caucasus is more spacious dolmens and theoretically they could serve as tombs. But then you have to assume the same in its form the structure have different destinations. And it's unlikely ….

After all, can not be that some people in the hives of bees are bred, while others live there yourself! As you know, crazy people have no shortage. For example, in the summer, Gelendzhik dolmens going completely crazy, all sorts of people are praying to the gods, meditate, fall into a trance and so on. Some even engaged in dolmen sex to conceive a child, pressed back to a place of stone slabs in order to cure hemorrhoids. All this I knew, however, going too could not resist and held her hand (though, truth only a hand!) On a single of dolmens.

Nuremberg – Reserve Middle Ages

by SAMad — Categories: General — Tags: , Leave a comment

In Nuremberg, I visited during a trip to the international salsa festival Kubamemucho, held in Munich. The festival was over, before the flight was still a couple of days and I visited the "most German of all German cities', often referred to as Nuremberg. Risen from the ashes preserved Gothic architecture in the historic center – a picture, in fact, quite common in many old European cities. However, Nuremberg – a special case. Gothic is not limited to one or two councils – there is the whole center looks like a medieval town, miraculously endured to this day.

As befits a medieval castle, surrounded by a powerful defense fortifications – an impressive five-kilometer defensive wall with a moat and numerous towers as a separate modern city with its noisy highways from the quiet realm of antiquity. The flow of vehicles passing by the whole this ancient fortifications – the landscape is so trivial to Nuremberg, which is very quickly cease to pay attention to this bizarre combination of today and yesterday. More precisely, even before yesterday. For the serfs walls are drawn mazes of narrow ancient streets, built a typical German, half-timbered houses with tiled roofs. Many buildings adorn the old emblems and figures of saints, the houses date back to XV – XVI, even XIV ages! Church or five hundred palaces with history can be found in many cities, but the ordinary homes of simple artisans, of which there are five – six centuries – a truly unique spectacle! That Interestingly, in these houses are still inhabited.
