00:00We call it a conservative.
00:16When an archaeologist in the раскопках
00:19finds these complex artifacts,
00:22we need to keep it in a hurry.
00:24We have different different methods,
00:27with the use of which we use it, we keep these memorials.
00:36You know, any memorial is very impressive, very interesting work.
00:43The thing is that every artifact speaks something.
00:46And it's always interesting.
00:48What?
00:49What information can you get?
00:51It's always interesting.
00:52It's always interesting to me.
00:54When we were in Berelsk, when we were in Berelsk,
01:00the discovery was international.
01:03There was a French-Italian-Kazak expedition.
01:06There were also a Belgian expedition.
01:08And then they came to us.
01:10And we were doing it.
01:12From the beginning to the discovery,
01:14from the transport,
01:15we kept them here,
01:16in conservation and restoration.
01:18And thanks to our work,
01:20we now see the National Museum.
01:23In the museum,
01:24we saw a few thousand exhibits,
01:26which we would like to maintain.
01:28We did the reconstruction,
01:30which you can see,
01:32horses, people,
01:33and other things.
01:34You can imagine,
01:36how it could look in the first place.
01:38The reconstruction for this project.
01:40Of the člensk,
01:44how it was done in the opço,
01:45when we did the reconstruction,
01:46the people who discovered the people,
01:48these people.
01:49The people who were excavated,
01:51the public tower-like,
01:52the power of the anish,
01:53the travel,
01:54the people who disill campo,
01:55bigger work were done.
01:56When I studied,
01:57I found information that was not known,
02:00that was never known.
02:01And the woman's image of reconstruction
02:03also changed.
02:04So they looked differently than the first time they were.
02:13Our father became a good team.
02:16He is a practical team, and I love everything visually.
02:24She was found in 2013 by the famous archaeologist Timur Smogulov.
02:29She was found in a stone-like sarcophagus,
02:33which was covered by other other stones.
02:36She was found in the surface of the stone.
02:39This means that we can see the organics, the clothes,
02:44the clothing, the materials, the materials,
02:46which were found in the same way.
02:48We found that her cloth was made of a silver-like cloth.
02:51We know that it was colored in a black color.
02:54We know that the cloth from her head was colored in a black color.
02:58It was also colored in a black color.
03:00All this is not visual, it is very detailed research on the various laboratories, with which we are working on.
03:09In front of you is now a memorial of the Sarmatians,
03:14the author of the discovery of the 7th-8th century.
03:19Here we see a wooden box,
03:22inside it was a bronze mirror,
03:25a wooden instrument,
03:28a wooden box,
03:30a wooden box,
03:31and many different pieces of this.
03:33This is very interesting,
03:35for us it is open to new pages,
03:38new information,
03:42so it is important to keep it in the process of conservation,
03:47now the restoration,
03:49and then we hope to make a reconstruction,
03:52how it could look at those times.
03:54What is the most important object in this moment?
03:57The most important object in this moment is the doors of the Mavzolei Khoudji Ahmed and Savi.
04:02These doors are closed from the Mavzolei,
04:04from the outside of the street,
04:06from the street.
04:07We already did an analysis,
04:09we already did an analysis,
04:10we already did an analysis,
04:11and we can already tell you something about this.
04:13This was a halka,
04:14a little bit of a bullet,
04:17on a bronze platform,
04:20and when we removed it,
04:22we saw it,
04:23that nobody saw before us.
04:25This is the incarnation,
04:27this is what came to us.
04:30So,
04:31even more beautiful,
04:33the whole door looks like.
04:35I'm very happy that we got to make this open.
04:37I have a dream to make a huge laboratory,
04:40as if it is not a small place,
04:43but at the same time,
04:45every time it becomes a piece.
04:47We always want to expand the dimensions,
04:51the possibilities,
04:52the technologies,
04:54and so on.
04:55This is a normal,
04:56вечный question.
