Thank you Wayne!I am really from Ukraine. I want to tell you about my city. Sorry For My English... Yevpatoria is a city in Crimea, Ukraine. The first recorded settlement in the area, called Kerkinitis (Κερκινίτης), was built by Greek colonists around 500 BC. Along with the rest of Crimea, Kerkinitis was part of the dominions of Mithridates VI, King of Pontus, from whose cognomen, Eupator, the city's modern name derives.In the 40ies of the 2nd century BC the Scythians conquered the city together with its harbour. From roughly the 7th through the 10th centuries AD Yevpatoriya was a Khazar settlement; its name in Khazar language was probably Güzliev. It was later subject to the Cumans (Kipchaks), the Mongols and the Crimean Khanate. During this period the city was called Kezlev by Crimean Tatars and Gözleve by Ottomans. The Russian medieval name Kozlov is a Russification of the Crimean Tatar name.
For a short period between 1478 and 1485, the city was administrated by the Ottoman Empire. Afterwards it became an important urban center of the Crimean Khanate. In 1783, with the whole Crimea, Kezlev was captured by the Russian Empire. Its name was officially changed to Yevpatoriya in 1784. The city was briefly occupied in 1854 by British, French and Turkish troops during the Crimean War, when it was the site of the Battle of Eupatoria.
About wells... They have been constructed approximately 400 years ago by Crimean Tatars. Their depth is 30 - 130 meters.
Thanks all!!! :icon_thumleft:

Hi SouthSide!
Thanks for the information about Yevpatoria. All your pictures show the old age of your countryside. Men have left many impressions on the landscape for many centuries. Do you use a metal detector? Seems like every signal there would be a relic. :icon_sunny:

S S H, you mentioned that the wells were 30 to 130 meters deep. In those days, how could they dig a well in excess of 400 feet deep?

Wells were dug by slaves.
