Last week, ROOTS deputy speaker Johannes Müller attended the annual conference of the Ukrainian History Global Initiative in #Kyiv. He took the opportunity to meet colleagues from Ukrainian institutions in order to plan future research projects. Since 2012, there has been close cooperation between archaeologists in Kiel and Ukrainian scientists, for example in researching the oldest European agricultural cities, the so-called #Trypillia megasites.

Die ersten Städte Europas

Sie hatten zehntausende Einwohner, standardisierte Wohneinheiten und waren für ihre Zeit einzigartig: Vor gut 6.000 Jahren entstanden nördlich des Schwarzen Meeres die ersten Städte Europas – scheinbar aus dem Nichts. Was war das Besondere an den Megasiedlungen der Trypillia-Kultur? Wie lebten die Menschen dort? Und warum wurden diese prähistorischen Städte von ihren Bewohnern niedergebrannt? Lange […]

das ist interessant. nicht alles in der vergangenheit war wie in hollywood-filmen. in einigen neolithischen megastätten war das leben wohl angenehm langweilig durch geringere soziale ungleichheiten ... allein, dass es so große siedlungen gab, vor ca 6300 jahren

#^Ideal von Freiheit und Gleichheit stimulierte die Entstehung der ältesten Städte Europas

Die Entstehung und der Niedergang von Trypillia-Megasiedlungen in der Waldsteppe nordwestlich des Schwarzen Meeres auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Moldawiens und der Ukraine geben Forschenden Rätsel auf. Wie war es möglich, dass bereits vor 6.000 Jahren auf einer Fläche von etwa 320 Hektar rund 15.000 Einwohnerinnen und Einwohner zusammenlebten? Was führte zum Untergang dieser frühesten Städte Europas?

Leaving Ukraine unable to defend its skies makes Russian invasion of other countries a question of time

Russia does indeed pose both an existential threat to Ukraine, and a threat to international security, yet the carnage and relentless attacks on critical infrastructure are made possible by the blocking of urgently needed military aid

UPDATE
#Trypillia Thermal power plant in #Kyiv region has been destroyed by today's #Russian missile attack - head of #Centrenergo supervisory board.

This was one of the largest thermal power plants in #Ukraine.

Thankfully, all the employees who worked on the shift during the attack were alive.

Currently, #Ukrainian #Centrenergo #PJSC has lost 100% of its energy generation.

We need air defence and weapons to protect ourselves from #Russian terrorism.
