This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)


> An ancient cave complex thought to date from Kievan Rus' has been discovered in central Kyiv at Voznesensky Uzvoz.

> Dmytro Perov, a conservationist at Kyiv's Center for Urban Development, told Radio Kultura that the caves were discovered next to a demolished house that Kyiv housing authorities had deemed unsafe for habitation.

> Perov wrote on Facebook that the team scoured around 40 meters of caves, including the lower cave complex, which he claims is twice as long as the upper passage and has a series of "Radial branches." The most significant discovery, according to Petrov, was "a set of Kyivan Rus hieroglyphs and Varangian symbols from the Early Rus period," when the region was under the control of Varangian rulers.
