Ak-Kaya (White Rock)

It is a monument of nature of national importance (1981) in the environs of Belogorsk. A formidable rock rises above the alley for more than 150 metres; its height above the sea level is 325 meters. In the upper part of the rock interesting stone pillars were formed in the process of wind erosion. And between them, shaded eye-sockets of inaccessible natural grottoes and oval niches, can be seen from a far against the white back-cloth; in the lower, more scoping part of the mountainside - falls and piles of huge limestone boulders. Real stone chaoses!
Ak-Kaya is also of great interest as an archaeological object. For the first time in Crimea, here the skull wreckage of the grown-up Neanderthal man was found, and at the foot of the rock, scientists dug out about 20 encampments of primitive men of the Muster Age (100-40 thousands years ago). This area was excusively convenient for dwelling: abundance of grottoes and roofs, river water, flint deposit. At last, the highest and the steepest rock was convenient for driving beast-hunting.
