Kamyanets-Podolskiy - An excellent example and illustration of the fact that the official history is woven from speculation and lies, and that in this story with the introduction of basements, basements, first floors with soil, no one knows where that soil came from, moreover, in such colossal volumes …
Looked at photographs of the fortress, town hall. Nice facility. Stands high on the mountain. There could not have been any floods there so that it could be covered with soil. The fortress is obviously on a rocky basis, so it could not go into the ground either. At the same time, the inner part of the fortress is very heavily filled, and the outer, on the southern side, has been relatively recently excavated, which is why the southern side bears a characteristic trace of a long stay underground.

An excellent example and illustration of the fact that the official history is woven of speculation and lies, and that in this story with the introduction of basements, basements, and first floors with soil, no one knows where that soil came from, moreover in such colossal volumes. After all, filling with soils is often both outside and inside. The explanation is that people themselves buried everything, because it is damp and fungus, worthy of perhaps an indulgent smile.
I live on the Podolsk Upland in the ancient city of Kamenets Podolsky (Ukraine), a small river Smotrych flows nearby in a huge canyon, which flows into the Dniester River after about 20 kilometers. So, the old part of the city is in continuous similar fillings. I already wrote at the Sibved about the Town Hall and what is under it. The same is with any structure, where you do not dig, everywhere the backfill of the lower buildings. Estimate the density of buildings, on a piece of 2 X 1.5 km (approximately), the Old City, separated by a canyon from the new one, it has 7 churches (4 operating, three in ruins, no walls) and 2 churches (operating), so that's it their cellars (several level) were once cleared of the ground. How that soil got there, the premises were filled completely, no one knows about this. The fact that the soil was applied as a result of the river overflowing the banks is excluded, because,due to the location of the city on a hill, there has never been a flood in it.
And yet, an interesting addition to the Town Hall, in which the four lower floors were dug out, while that was not the limit. I looked at Wikipedia about our Town Hall, and with great surprise I found out that there are only two floors under it (according to the version, these are old beer cellars -, yeah, in the Town Hall, in the building where the local government was, beer cellars, … 90s there on the ground floor an entrepreneur (Armenian) placed a cafe, which still works), and for advice there was a current museum. Where did the two floors go? After all, I personally, in the same 90s, was in those basements on excursions, drove friends who came to visit me, went down to the very bottom of the dug 4th and saw the unsurpassed steps visually leading even lower. And now, it turns out, there are only two lower floors. Wonders.
Modern researchers, taking into account new data discovered during excavations, have established that the fortress existed even before the princes Koriatovichs (Lithuanian princes), but then it had a completely different look, and the princes completed it, then the Poles, and even the Turks (after all, almost thirty years owned).
Town Hall in question:
The ramp is made to enter just under the ridge, it looks absurd:

The city is half hidden underground:
Similarly, in Liverpool, ancient buildings were completely covered with earth, and houses were built on them, the residents of which did not even suspect what was under their feet …
Moreover, the products found there have a fairly modern look:
