<p>This church was build in 1828.</p>
<p>Long ago? Not if you think about European buildings or especially Asian. How about Samarkand or Rajasthan in India or many more others?</p>
<p>Few things we build for centuries: fortifications, castles or churches (couple of graves monuments don&#8217;t count). Because we first fight, then rule and plan new fights and finally pray, especially when we loose our fights.</p>
<p>Now days we build monumental business and shopping  centres, cause in first we fight and rule and in the second we pray and loose.</p>

<p>Это древняя церквушка была построена в тридцатых годах девятнадцатого века.</p>
<p>Выглядит, словно она из средневековья. Хотя для молодых стран 200 лет назад &#8211; это уже средневековье. И что странно, это одно из немногих зданий, сохранившихся с того времени. Кажется, что мы добротно строили только замки, форты и церкви (пару гробниц не в счёт).  Видимо потому, что главным занятием всех времен было завоевание, обладание и &#8220;памятникопостроение&#8221;, ну и отмаливание грехов, особенно если завоевание не получилось.</p>
<p>А теперь мы добротно капаем фундамент только под небоскребы бизнес и шопинг центров. Мы боремся и царствуем в первых, а проигрываем и отмаливаем себя в последних.</p>
