\u201cMetsamor\u201d historical-cultural\u00a0 museum-reserve was crowded yesterday. Pupils of Mkhitar Sebastaci college and Bulgaria\u2019s Sofia city\u2019s \u201cZdravec\u201d dance ensemble were invited to Metsamor within the framework of \u201cCurious archaeology\u201d scientific-educational event.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe transfer interesting knowledge to pupils about the bronze age culture of Armenia, ethno-political relations, excavations and the finds\u201d, mentioned Artavazd Zaqyan the head of \u201cMetsamor\u201d historical-cultural museum-reserve.<\/p>\n
For pupils to easily understand the details of the field of archaeology, the head of museum-reserve and \u201cProtection service\u201d NCSO\u2019s anthropologist Hasmik Simonyan introduced the job of archaeologist and detailed what excavating place is, what to do when archaeological layer is opened and whether the excavated skeleton is male or female.<\/p>\n
Employees of \u201cMetsamor\u201d museum-reserve had created an artificial excavating site beforehand. Some of the fund materials had been buried there to make the professional work of \u201carchaeologists\u201d more interesting. After getting instructions, pupils also joined to the implementation of archaeological works with special tools. In an interesting atmosphere, pupils opened the layer, finding there skeleton, belt, animal teeth. The excavated objects were placed in special boxes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the first time we have taken part in archaeological works. At first we found the arm, then the skull, teeth and spine were opened. We tried to use the knowledge we acquired accurately\u201d, mentioned orientalist Gohar Smbatyan. Her friend Feliqs Eghiazaryan had heard about the excavations on TV. Future architects had the opportunity to implement \u201cexcavations\u201d for a few hours. Armine Uranyan from Javakhq was in Metsamor for the first time. She had other impressions about excavations before coming here. \u201cI thought you find and that\u2019s the end. But this is only one part of archaeological work, afterwards extremely much work is to be done. I\u2019ve found animal bones near human skeleton\u201d, added A. Uranyan.<\/p>\n
Areg Sayadyan one of the pupils of the college tried to find some of the ornaments that our ancestors used to wear. He was sure that next to the skeleton of the excavated man there was a lance and he was interested whether the man wore ornaments as well. He also tried to reveal which class of society our ancestors belonged to, what used to be buried in pitchers in ancient times. The boy interested in theater, Armenian and international history most of all liked the little pitcher with beautiful ornaments.<\/p>\n
Educational program will be continuous, in the nearest future museum-reserve will host pupils from other schools as well.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
