Archeologists working in Vladimir have found a hoard of jewelry dating back to the 13th century.
The treasure was found in Gertsen Street, near the former cinema Mir. The hoard consisting of beads, crosses, and pendants was wrapped up in fabric with a gold thread and hidden inside of a jug.
The digging place where the jewels were discovered had once been part of the Vetshany Town located to the east of the Vladimir Kremlin.
Throughout the whole history of archeological research of Vetshany Town the historians found four pre-Mongolian hoards, the last of them discovered in 1998. The latest find is the fifth one.

: I hope that one day I can visit Russia. I have dreamed about it since I was a child (1963) but of course then it was not possible. Before I leave this earth, I will find a way to bring my own young son (now 11) to see this incredible country. Thank you for posting this information! Added: 03 October 2008 16:47 |
