Life of a Lonely Russian woman in a Small Russian Village

This video shows an awesome trip to a Russian village called Kostyonki.. I walked with my Russian friends through the beautiful Russian villages.. suddenly we were stopped by an eighty years old woman.. she took is to her home and showed her pets and see how she lives alone in a small village.. The Kostyonki–Borshchyovo archaeological complex is an area where numerous Upper Paleolithic archaeological sites have been found, located around the villages of Kostyonki (also Kostenki) and Borshchyovo (also Borshchevo). The area is found on the western (right) bank of the Don River in Khokholsky District, Voronezh Oblast, Russia, some 25 km south of the city of Voronezh. The 26 Paleolithic sites of the area are numbered Kostenki 1–21 and Borshchevo 1–5. It is known for its high concentration of cultural remains of anatomically modern humans from the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic era, before 50,000 years ago. Excavations at an Upper Paleolithic site in Russia have revealed one of the oldest ice age structures made of remains of mammoths. The village of Kostenki, an archaeological Mecca of sorts, is located on the west bank of the Don River in Voronezh Oblast, some 500 kilometres south of Moscow. Its very name alludes to the Russian word “bone”, and mammoth bones have been discovered there since the late 17th century (one incorrect but curious theory at the time suggested they were the remains of Alexander the Great’s war elephants). The area is home to some 60 ancient sites, believed to be the encampments of Paleolithic hunter-gatherers. Archaeologists from the University of Exeter have recently discovered that one of them, Kostenki 11, survived much longer than others. #mamooth #kostenki “#russianvillagelife
