Stone Grave Historical and Archaeological Reserve

Museum / gallery , Natural object , Archaeological site

A giant pile of stones up to 12 m high - the remains of sandstone of the former Sarmatian Sea. The shape resembles a mound, whence the name. It has been used as a sanctuary since ancient times. Many stones are covered with images of the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Copper-Bronze Age and the Middle Ages (from the XVI-XIII millennia BC to the X-XII centuries). Some researchers believe that the writings of the Stone Tomb are more archaic than the writing of Sumer, and are the oldest examples of writing on Earth. In order to preserve the petroglyphs, the passages to them are covered with sand. Copies can be seen in the building of the museum-reserve "Stone Grave". Especially impressive is the sculpture of a man-fish aged 7,000 years.

Zaporizka Sich

Historic area , Museum / gallery , Ethnographic complex

The historical and cultural complex "Zaporizka Sich" on the island of Khortytsia in Zaporizhzhia reproduces a generalized image of all eight Sich, which existed in the XVI-XVIII centuries on the banks of the Dnieper. Sich is a fortified military town surrounded by a fence, which served as a military and political center of the Zaporozhian Cossacks - the capital of the Liberties of the Zaporozhian Lowland Army, ie free Cossack lands.

The island of Khortytsia at that time was a strategic point on the way of Tatar raids on Ukrainian lands. At the same time, the political influence of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Moscow Principality, which controlled other Ukrainian lands, did not extend to these territories. Khortytsia was associated with the activities of the first organizer of the Zaporozhian Army Ostap Dashkevych and the founder of the first Sich Dmytro (Baida) Vyshnevetsky, who in 1553 built a Cossack castle on the island of Mala Khortytsia (now Baida Island). All subsequent Sichs were located below the Dnieper, but were formed on common principles.

A reduced copy of the Cossack fortress is surrounded by a moat, an embankment and a fence made of logs with several defensive towers. The interior space consists of two parts - the Small Kosh (trade and craft suburb) and the Large Kosh (Cossack garrison). The main building of the Sich is the current Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin on the central square. There are Cossack huts, a smithy, a pottery, an inn and a Greek house where ambassadors were received. The expositions in the premises tell about the functioning of the Sich governing bodies (the House of the Kosh Ataman, the Military Chancellery), the work of the Pushkarnia (arsenal), and the traditional crafts of the Cossacks. The exhibition "Cossack Mama and the Cradle" is dedicated to the image of the legendary Zaporozhian warrior-characterist. The Cossack Battle Theater "Sich Cossacks" is based in the "Zaporozhian Sich", which regularly holds demonstrations of Cossack martial arts and master classes on the possession of Cossack weapons.
