"One of the most interesting findings of the expedition participants believe a large fragment of a ceramic boiler, which has printings set by its manufacturer" the press service of the Tomsk university cites director of the divers club of the SKAT TSU Dmitry Horn. "This can be the print of the Armenian-Syrian slogans that could be another weighty argument in favor of the theory that in the territory of Issyk-Kul Lake in ancient times there was the Armenian monastery, where the relics of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Matthew were kept".
