Giant Piles of Bones from Nearly 50 Years Ago Discovered in Gyumri

Former and abandoned factory areas are proving to be a headache for communities, not only due to the preservation of their buildings and assets. What was discovered in the half-demolished and unmonitored grounds of the Gyumri meat processing plant was unbelievable for the neighborhood residents and environmentalists, reports shantnews.am.

The meat processing plant has not been operational for 30 years, but a large number of bones of slaughtered animals remain on the factory grounds. How dangerous are these gigantic piles of bones for the surrounding environment, especially with homes nearby? Professional explanations reveal that animal bones retain their harmful properties for decades. Hardened bones can persist in nature for centuries and millennia. The mammoth bones found in the oldest district of Gyumri, the Meat Processing Plant area, serve as evidence of this.

The news outlet reports that this find is valuable in the fields of history and archaeology, which is incomparable to everything else discovered within the same meat processing plant area. After 30 years, the massive piles of bones from large and small cattle extend several meters.
