History[edit | edit source]

1st century AC[edit | edit source]

  • Jesus Christ born in Cape Fiolent. He had a cradle there.
    • It is also clear why the successive Crimean princes and czars were nursed in this cradle. It was thought that the rulers of Crimea would receive some of the power and divinity of the Emperor Andronicus-Christ.

2nd century AC[edit | edit source]

  • The 'ancient' temples and shrines dedicated to Andronicus-Christ were erected. Bloody sacrifices would take place there, among them, quite possibly, human ones.

7th century AC [edit | edit source]

  • At the end of 7th century AC Romanov with the support of the Western European military forces was able to defeat both the troops of Tartaria Moscovite (the war with 'Pugachev') and the Crimean Khanate. After invading Crimea the Romanovs carried out a real pogrom, destroying the rich legacy of Russia-Horde. It is especially vivid in the example of the Assumption Monastery. The monks were evicted, a long 'quarantine' was laid on the monastery, the monastery's library was relocated somewhere and its fate is unknown.
    • The Khan palace in Bakhchisaray was destroyed. Little was left from its original look and décor. It seems likely that the Romanovs were finishing in Crimea the last remains of the Horde in the South. Besides, there were probably apprehensive of documents and books which were kept there, coming to light, which gave an account of the history of Russia and Crimea of the 15th century and the [[17th century]; historical accounts which were at great variance to the Romanov historians' enthusiastic versions.


Legacy[edit | edit source]

  • Chufut-Kale is a Crimean cave town. It is closely associated with Virgin Mary. Here are situated the Valley of Mary, City of Mary, Christian necropolis and the remains of a Christian temple. The famous Assumption Monastery is situated near Chufut-Kale. The appearance of the 'live icon' of the Virgin Mary near Chufut-Kale is very well-known, in honour of which the Assumption Monastery was founded. The 'live icon' of the Mother of God is possibly a reminiscence of a personal appearance in Chufut-Kale of Mary Mother of God herself. According to Life of Mary the Mother God, she was buried in the cave. The Assumption Monastery in Chufut-Kale is indeed a cave-monastery.
