A remarkable archaeological expedition near Khortytsia and DniproHES in Ukraine has unearthed a trove of ancient artifacts, some dating back over 6,000 years. The discoveries were made possible by a significant decrease in water levels, allowing specialists from the National Reserve "Khortytsia" and "Ukrhydroenergo" to explore the geological formations known as "Three Stacks" or "Three Brothers."
The unearthed items paint a vivid picture of millennia of human activity in the region. Among the most ancient finds are pottery fragments from the copper-stone age, estimated to be more than six millennia old. The expedition also uncovered shards from the Bronze Age, fragments of ancient amphorae, and various animal bones.
A particularly intriguing discovery is the "Cossack Bowl," a distinctive depression found in a stone on the "Middle Stack." According to local legend, this is where Zaporozhian Cossacks prepared their food, adding a layer of historical folklore to the archaeological evidence. Other notable finds include mysterious black stones and a Cossack anchor, further enriching the historical narrative of the area.
The research is ongoing, with "Ukrhydroenergo" affirming its dedication to the preservation of both cultural and natural heritage. This expedition continues to shed light on the rich and diverse history of the Dnipro region.
