The Ancient Pyramids of the World, a new photo exhibition by Viktor Pinchuk took place in Crimea

On June 3, Russian Wikinews attended one of the latest cultural events in Crimea. An exhibition of works by Russian photographer Viktor Pinchuk was held at the Genoese Fortress Museum-Reserve in Sudak. It was timed to coincide with the annual “Night of Geography” event of the Russian Geographical Society. The exhibition was held in a digital format, which allowed an increase in the number of works on display, without transporting them to the exhibition.

The author, who traveled to dozens of countries in Africa, Asia, Oceania and Latin America, presented to the audience a collection of photographs taken at different times, all united by one theme. The exhibition is called “The Ancient Pyramids of the World” ^{((ru))Russian language: ‍Древнейшие пирамиды мира}. It contains images of archaeological monuments from Egypt, Sudan, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Indonesia, Cambodia, Samoa and even Peru (although the objects called “pyramids” in Túcume are of controversial origin).

The author highlighted the once pyramid-shaped and now almost completely destroyed Pulemelei Mound. It is located in the impenetrable jungle of the Samoan island of Savai’i (Oceania). It was visited by the Crimean wanderer, and is practically unknown outside a narrow circle of professional archaeologists. The “road” to it is so overgrown that it is impossible to get there without a guide.

Visitors to the event learned a lot of new and surprising things, which (according to the author of the exhibition) should encourage them to hit the road, or… at least, pay more attention to the study of the historical and geographical objects of the planet.
