Zelenchuksky Churches in the Republic of Karachay Cherkessia

Arkhyz is a village in the valley of the Bolshoy Zelenchuk River, in the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia, Greater Caucasus, Russia, about 70 km inland from the Black Sea shore.
The Zelenchuksky Churches are an archaeological preserve extending for 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) around the ruins of Nizhnearkhyzskoe gorodishche, tentatively identified as the medieval capital of Alania, a Christian state destroyed by the hordes of Möngke Khan in the 13th century. No Byzantine document mentions the name of this city, whereas al-Mas'udi refers to it as Ma'as, or Maghas.
The North Church is supposed to have been the cathedral of the diocese of Alania between the 10th and 13th centuries. The dome rises to a height of 21 meters; the western wall is twice as long. The narthex formerly contained a baptistery. A 19th-century traveller described the faded Byzantine frescoes that were still visible on its walls.
The Central Church appears to have been conceived somewhat earlier than the two others, in the form of a regular cross, but was extended to the west during or shortly following the construction. It is much larger than the South Church, which was built of coarse rubble masonry, extensively restored by the monks in 1899, fell into disuse during the Soviet years, and was reconsecrated to Saint Elijah in 1991. The South Church bears the distinction of being the oldest functioning church in all of Russia.

Dombai 2006, Caucasus (#1)

This video clip was mastered by my brother. All of video scenes were taken during our regular vacation on the Caucasian mountain ski resort in 2006. In particular, this clip is a collection of video-shots were taken during lifting to the top of Mussa-Achitara mountain (the main mountain on that resort). Sun is shining and you can see how beautiful the elements could be. Such a nice place to stay and to visit :) Enjoy the video!
