Olenevka, Crimea. Photo of 2007. Karadzha Bay - Liman Lake. As the locals said, in the 60s excavations of an ancient Greek settlement were carried out here. They say that the excavations did not last long, during the holiday season.
About 500-600 meters from the settlement in the thickets of weeds, we saw the melted earth on the slope of the crumbling coast. Part of the wall has been preserved, in shape it represents a sector of a circle., It has an even rounded bend, In the ground there is a depression 50 centimeters below ground level and a diameter of 2-2.5 meters.
I was surprised by the surface of the soil inside the pit - not with a funnel, as if dug, but even, and that the difference in ground level was preserved. The melted layer, although cracked in places, was held firmly, you can't shake it with your hands. They asked the locals what kind of pit they were - they don't know.
The last time was in 2013. The site is badly destroyed, the pit is overgrown with weeds.
