The post will be investigated and decoded by experts, and will be kept at the museum attached to the church, which will open after the restoration of the church is completed. The discovery is significant because it testifies to the fact that Vardenik was established more than 2200 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
