A resident of the former Ukrainian Dnepropetrovsk (now Dnepr) voluntarily donated to the local museum a Polovtsian stone woman, whose age is about a thousand years. The former owner of antiquity believes that the statue is cursed and brings misfortune. But historians cannot get enough of the fact that the statue will add to the largest collection of ancient stone sculptures in Ukraine.
Vyacheslav acquired a historical landmark several years ago. It was brought to the man by tramps for a song. The Ukrainian gave the statue the name Matilda, since, in his opinion, it looked like a stone woman, and installed it as an ornament on his estate. The museum staff examined the statue and grinned, realizing that in fact it depicts not a woman, but a man-warrior: you can see a weapon, a helmet and even a stone mustache. Experts suggest that this is a posthumous monument to the outstanding Polovtsian - a representative of the nomadic people of Turkic origin.
Ancient statues in the house - unfortunately
With the advent of antiquity on his site, Vyacheslav connects a series of misfortunes that immediately fell upon his house. First, a man died in the family, then four robberies and car theft followed. In addition, the man and his family began to get sick often and for no reason. Ultimately, the owner came to the conclusion that the damned stone woman was to blame for all his troubles, and offered her to the museum free of charge in order to get rid of the misfortunes that had befallen him. The employees of the cultural and historical institution do not hide the fact that they are immensely happy with such a gift. According to them, many such idols disappear without a trace in private collections and, more often than not, are destroyed in the open air.
Historians are convinced that the statue will not bring any misfortune to their museum - there are also exhibits that are more dangerous from a mystical point of view. Local archaeologist Alexander Starik confirms that it is undesirable to store such artifacts at home, but in the appropriate institutions their negative energy, figuratively speaking, is preserved, mixed with the energy of other similar museum exhibits and can no longer harm anyone. meters were installed on the mounds by ancient peoples, for example, the Scythians and Cumans. Such sculptures are found in large numbers in southern Siberia, in Azerbaijan, in the steppe zone of Russia, in eastern Ukraine, in Central Asia, in Germany, and so on.
