На Ивановской площади в Москве находится знаменитая Царь-пушка. Она установлена на лафете, а возле неё лежат ядра. Но, не думайте, этими ядрами и с этого лафета Царь-пушка стрелять не может, и не смогла бы никогда.
<span>Царь-пушка – это вообще-то не пушка как таковая, а бомбарда. Бомбарды стреляли большими глыбами камней и предназначались для разбивания стен крепостей во время их осады. Царь-пушка также предназначалась для стрельбы камнями весом до 800кг. Чтобы зарядить подобную бомбарду требовались сутки, а чтобы выстрелить строили специальные стены для погашения отката. </span>
<span>Царь-пушка была отлита в 1586 году нашим мастером Чоховым Андреем. Её длина – 5.35м., диаметр ствола – 120см., калибр – 890мм., вес – 39.31т. (2400 пудов). </span>
<span>Так почему же пушку назвали Царь – пушкой. </span>
Есть две версии. Первая – это из-за её больших размеров, вторая - из-за выгравированного изображения последнего царя из рода Рюриковичей - Фёдора Ивановича верхом на коне. Историки склоняются больше ко второй версии, т.к. существует пушка размерами и калибром больше нашей – турки отлили.<span>Ivan square in Moscow is famous Tsar cannon. It is installed on the carriage, and near it lay kernel. But, don't think these engines and this laft king of the cannon to shoot may not, and would never. </span>
<span>The Tsar cannon is actually not the gun itself, but rather Bombarda. Bombardi shot with large stones and was intended to break the walls of fortresses during their siege. The Tsar cannon was also intended for shooting stones weighing up to 800kg. To charge such a Bombarda was required the day, and to shoot built a special wall for repayment of the rollback. </span>
<span>The Tsar cannon was cast in 1586 by our master Andrey Chokhov. Its length is 5.35 m, the diameter of the barrel - 120cm., caliber - mm., weight - 39.31 so (2400 pounds). </span>
<span>So why is a gun called the Tsar cannon. </span>
<span>There are two versions. The first is because of its large size, the second - because of the engraved image of the last Tsar of the Rurik dynasty - Fyodor Ivanovich on horseback. Historians prefer the second version, because there is a gun the size and caliber more of our Turks were cast.</span>
Hello, David!
I'm glad you're happy. My presentation will be about British culture and traditions. Yes, of course I find it interesting. Because British culture is more different and impressive than others.
Can you help me with taking photo? I need some photo of Britian. You can take some pictures of Britian and send them to me. I would be grateful.
Bye!
