Эту гору НЕ ВЗЯЛА сильнейшая АРМИЯ мира! 12 ЖУТКИХ тайн Мангуп-Кале, города в скале

Mangup-Kale is the largest cave city on the planet and the most incredible fortress in Crimea. An entire city, carved directly into the limestone cliff on a plateau almost six hundred meters above sea level: a three-thousand-square-meter palace, a well cut twenty-four meters through a monolith, secret staircases in the sheer walls, a prison with a pillar polished with chains, and a cemetery with one thousand and eight graves. It was the capital of the enigmatic Orthodox principality of Theodoro—the last remnant of Byzantium, bearing the double-headed eagle of the emperors. This video tells the complete chronicle of the mountain: from the drum cave beating from the stone and the bride who united Crimea with Moscow and Moldova, to the bloody five-month siege of 1475 and the mystery of why this greatest city was simply abandoned.
