Archaeologists are examining the items found in the ancient burial place of a Viking woman in downtown Pskov. In the last days of 2003 in Pskov during archaeological research of the construction site, burial place related to X century, was discovered. At the depth of 4 meters in the burial chamber the remains of a woman were found along with decoration of bronze and silver, bronze scales, glass beads and several dozens of other items.

According to Dr. Of History, Head of Department of Slavic and Finnish Archaeology of Institute of History of Material Culture in St. Petersburg Anatoly Kirpichnikov, there must be some more burial places nearby, probably some burial mound.

After the archeological dig was finished, construction works started in the area.

You probably aware that the name "Russia" comes from the Rus who invaded during the first milennia. They were Vikings.

How does one pronounce "Pskov?"

Very carefully.

(It's a one-syllable word when you do it right.)

My son was married to a Russian girl, Ludmila. (I never could pronounce her mother's name, Ieeida? I just called her Irene, lol)

At least partly by way of the Mediterrainian and up the Volga, oddly enough. Stopped off in Constantanople to extort some tribute, and ended up being converted to Orthodox Christianity. When the Byzantine Empire fell they assumed the mantle of heirs to the Roman Empire. Hence the Czar (Ceasar).

That is a mighty loose and inaccurate interpretation of Russian history!

Makes me wonder how far east into Russia the Vikings went.

My husband is from Poland and his family can't pronounce my name, either--they call me Marina, and we are all clear. Funny how a name that sounds so easy to pronounce in your own language can trip the tongues of the rest of the world!

The thing is, once you learn the pronounciation of Polish letters it's becomes easy because they are always consistent.

It's been a few months since we've studied this, but they took rivers in "Russia" as far as the Black Sea. I think they made it to Istanbul and Baghdad. They were in the Mediterranean and Africa. They were all over the place actually. (Don't have time to look it all up).

History Ping. :)
