Bronze Age Civilization Spotted in Old Photographs
Discovery News, 12/10/2010
Traces of a previously unknown Bronze Age civilization have been discovered in the peaks of Russia’s Caucasus Mountains thanks to aerial photographs taken 40 years ago, researchers said Monday. “We have discovered a civilization dating from the 16th to the 14th centuries B.C., high in the mountains south of Kislovodsk,” in Russia’s North Caucasus region, Andrei Belinsky, the head of a joint Russian-German expedition that has been investigating the region for five years, said. He said researchers had discovered stone foundations, some up to a meter (3.3 feet) high, at nearly 200 sites, all “visibly constructed according to the same architectural plan, with an oval courtyard in the center, and connected by roads.”
