Occupiers open exhibition of stolen items from Stone Grave in Zaporizhzhia in occupied Crimea
The occupiers opened the capsule exhibition "House of Fish" on the sacred mountain Stone Grave" on the territory of the Chersonese Tavriya reserve in the occupied Crimea.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by the Union of Archaeologists of Ukraine on Facebook.
"In the temporarily occupied Crimea, on the territory of the Chersonesos Tavriya reserve, materials stolen by Russians from Zaporizhzhia region are being exhibited.
We are talking about finds from the world-famous Stone Tomb. The capsule exhibition "House of Fish" is open until 8 October," the statement said.
The Centre of National Resistance reported in May this year that the Russian occupiers had taken the Stone Tomb exhibits to Crimea.
At that time, they reported that the occupiers had opened an exhibition in the Crimean Chersonesos Tauria Museum-Reserve with 120 archaeological artefacts that had been taken from the Stone Grave Museum, located in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia region.
Stone Grave is an ancient cultural monument in Ukraine near Melitopol (Terpinia village) in the Zaporizhzhia region on the Molochna River, a state historical and archaeological museum-reserve.
The Stone Grave was first explored in the late 19th century by archaeologist Mykola Veselovsky, known for his excavations of Scythian burial mounds.
The reserve houses a museum complex with unique exhibits reflecting the life and culture of primitive people. Most of them are the result of archaeological excavations in the reserve. A special place is occupied by drawings illustrating the spiritual culture and beliefs of the region's ancient inhabitants, as well as anthropomorphic stelae and Polovtsian sculptures.
Since 2006, the reserve has been a candidate for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
