Lenya Bobrov attends the International Archaeological Conference. A story.
After buying coffee and posting positive reviews about BRICS on the Internet, Lenya Bobrov headed to the International Archaeological Conference.
General theme of the Conference: "Buying of a time as an archaeological discourse".
Brand new Russial cars - Ladas - roll up to the entrance to the building where the conference is being held. Respectable people get out of the cars.
Lenya is pleasantly surprised. Did the conveyor in the Volga city started to work? Are the Ladas on sale?
High scientists from two neighboring republics arrived at the conference. Their representatives once studied at the historical faculty of Rostov University.
Additionally, representatives of the Country of Pyramids were invited. Thanks to this high delegation, everyone can admire the numerous mummies while entering the building.
The export of real mummies from the Country of Pyramids is prohibited. But doubles have been created - they are transported to popularize the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms.
Lenya writes down the statements of the conference participants with interest.
In his opening remarks, the presenter suggested discussing the doctrine of technological security by analogy with food security. What did these doctrines look like in antiquity?
The history of antiquity has shown that politicians and economists can make a horse come to a watering hole, but they cannot make a horse drink.
In the ancient economy, there was a phenomenon: exports at a discount, imports at a premium.
One of the speakers substantiated in detail that the principle of "money - goods - money" was not characteristic of the Ancient World. On the contrary, the principle was in effect: 'commodity - money - commodity'. In other words, "Our product - our rules."
Lenya writes down important thoughts:
"The transformations were painful, and there was not a single area of life left that they did not affect."
"Whoever has a spear - a such person is stronger"...
The excitement in the audience was caused by the thesis of one of the participants not to finance archeology in general, not to spend money on grants, but to direct financial resources to the most pressing topics: to search for horse chariots, to search for wheels and horse harness ...
The discussion was aroused by the speech of one of the speakers, who insisted on the importance of searching not for gold artifacts, but for goods, especially those that came to the Don region from the southeast.
A huge relief in the audience was caused by the message that no one would take away (confiscate) the gold collections of local museums. Local museums can safely store and demonstrate to the public the coins found in the Don land.
The presence at the Conference of representatives from the Country of Pyramids created the right atmosphere. In addition to the huge stadium (on the left bank of the Don), which requires huge sums of money annually from the local budget for its maintenance and protection (a local landmark, like the Ancient Pyramids), a cyclopean buildings will be created next to the stadium for a lot of money (perhaps the Capital Repair Fund and mandatory payments of apartment owners will not be left aside).
After speaking at the conference, the most active participants got on the Ladas and went to a seminar dedicated to the vehicles of the Scythians.
Lenya posted on the Internet photos of mummies and an optimistic phrase: 'Scythian gold stored in museums will not be confiscated!' ...
'An interesting conference. The paradigm of archaeological research need to be change ...' Lenya thought as he walked down the street after attending the International Archaeological Conference.
