Pobiti Kamani
Pobiti Kamani (, "planted stones"), tubular concretions formed around "rising methane-bearing fluid plumes", is a rock formation, desert-like rock phenomenon located on the north west Varna Province border in Bulgaria. The stone pillars were first described by Russian archaeologist and historian Victor Teplyakov in 1829. In order to be preserved, Pobiti Kamani was designated a natural landmark in the late 1930s. There are a number of theories regarding the phenomenon's origin. The pioneering hypotheses can be divided roughly into two groups: suggesting an organic or abiotic origin. According to the former, the formations are the result of coral activity (but detail investigation shows no coral), while the latter explains the phenomenon with the prismatic weathering and desertification of the rocks, the formation of sand and limestone concretions, or lower Eocene bubbling reefs. Based on a Petrography, petrographic and stable isotope Geochemistry, geochemical study and field obs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kamani Monastery
The Kamani Monastery ( ka, კამანის ეკლესია; ) is located at the village of Kamani in Abkhazia/Georgia, north of Sokhumi. The monastery building is a 1980s construction on the foundations of a medieval church. History The locale of Kamani, also known as Komani, is associated in the local Abkhaz-Georgian legends with Saint John Chrysostom, who allegedly died there after being exiled from Constantinople to the Black Sea coast. In 1884, the Greek scholar Konstantinos Vrissis visited the area and conjectured that it was Kamani, not Comana Pontica, where John Chrysostom died and was initially buried. Only the foundation survived of a medieval stone monastic building, a hall church design without a protruding apse. In the 1880s, under the Russian rule, a Christian convent was founded there, but it fell in disuse with the arrival of the Soviet power in the region. In the late 1980s, the church was rebuilt through the efforts of the Abkhaz Yuri Anua. In 1990 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
