annexed peninsula

"... Crimea - it is a proscenium, a harbinger;  because for some reason it has been the Crimea, where signaling events occur, the initial whistles, preconditions, or the last chords (depends on your vantage point). These  processes  change history, often being much broader in nature and spread far from the peninsula in distance or even in time. In essence, it is a tomb - last Scythians, last Khazars, last Gothic kingdom , the last bastion of the Bosphoran Kingdom and Tartar hordes, the zero point of "black death" (plague that wiped out half of Europe started from Sudak), the great 20th century Russian exodus (the last white Russia ), the Yalta Conference, the final point of travel of Athanasius Nikitin 'three seas'.

In short, the Crimea - is a kind of finish line after which all goes to its respective  place, - some on pedestals, others - to the locker room, the audience dissolves. Crimea - "Chimmerians' sad region ', as Homer, and Voloshin once said..." Irina Legkoduh ( Rumshitskaya ) , native of Simferopol.


The author reminds that the end of the Soviet Union began with Gorbachev escape to Foros  before the start of the August coup.

"And I would like to contemplate (adds Lion Regel'son ) another mystical "finish line" associated with the Crimea. There is a theory that in this region, before " the Great flood" (rotation of the lithosphere 12 thousand years ago) , was located last described by Plato "splinter" - entrance the legendary empire of Atlantis . That is why the ancient Greeks placed here "entrance to Hades" where Hercules went down.

This kindly coincides with the recent (2012) discovery of what could be the oldest pyramids on earth (Jurassic time).

There also is an information that Putin is going to turn Crimea upside down in search for the Staff of Hermes -- artifact of tremendous power, rumored to grant immortality. If the entrance to Atlantis is actually there, than why not? After all, who knows what kind of technology the lost civilization had?..
