"The Voznesenivskyi Treasure" is a unique archaeological site discovered in 1930 on the territory of modern-day Zaporizhzhia. It was a burial complex of the 7th to early 8th centuries. It was named after the village of Voznesenka, now located within the central district of the city - Voznesenivskyi.
The complex was studied by Volodymyr Hrinchenko, who believed that the stone wall was a military camp and that the entire material was the remains of the collective burning of warriors.
During the excavations, many burnt gold, silver, and iron objects were found. The total weight of the gold items from the "treasure" was over 1 kg, and the silver items were almost 2 kg. The most interesting finds were silver figurines of an eagle and a lion - symbols of Roman legions.
The most valuable exhibits of the Voznesenivskyi Treasure are included in the museum collection of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Local Lore Museum.
