Amazing things to see and do …

Until recently England was generally thought of as a gentle, fabled land freeze-framed sometime in the 1930s, home of the post office, country pub and vicarage. It's now better known for vibrant cities with great nightlife and attractions, contrasted with green and pleasant countryside..

Magical Journey ?

Travel Itineraries crafted to find and feel the magic of the World

I travel the world to find the worlds most MAGICAL , most ENCHANTING and most BEAUTIFUL destinations so I can create Magical Journey itineraries for you and anyone who has a yearning to feel the magic the world has to offer. 

What is a Magical Journey ?

A Magical Journey is an unmatchable, life changing travel experience that aims to show travellers another way to plan out their trips. A way that emphasises not only love for themselves but love towards humanity and the world we live. It inspires curiosity, creativity, imagination and dreaming. A Magical Journey is travelling the world through a fairytale and living a true life oddesy. 

What to Expect

Detailed travel itinerary

All magical journeys include a detailed travel itinerary. These itineraries are created based on my experience - where I outline the most magical times to go to a place, how to get to a place and the budget for each activity in a timeline format. In addition to that all magical journeys have something I call sparkle dust placed in them. Sparkle dust is what makes a place magical - whether this is fun facts, historical or cultural intel or a game to play that brings out out inner child.

Magical Map

Each magical journey has its own dedicated map with elements of magic which you can print and use on your magical journeys. There is nothing like using a real map for travels - like in the OG times where google maps did not exists. But I do understand the value of tehchnology so you can also find google maps directions to each of the destinations and spot on your magical journey itinerary.

What makes this travel experience different from any other travel experience is the element of magic. I write a fairy tale for each destination based on the history, culture and mythology of the destination. The story follows the same timeline as the itinerary so your job is to make sure to read the story as you go along your journey and start travelling and living the fairytale in realtime. There is no limit to what we can feel and see if we choose to believe in magic.

A couple months ago I was struggling planning my wedding and my honeymoon. My friend suggested I reach out to My Magical Journeys to help me plan my honeymoon and OMG I wish I reached out to them sooner!!! Shawn went above and beyond and helped me find the cutest hotel within our budget, gave us a list of recommended places to eat, and even gave me a detailed map of Disneyland showing the shortcuts to the rides we wanted to go on. Vickee also helped with my hotel booking and they got us an upgraded room for cheaper than what we're originally quoted! Planning your honeymoon while planning you wedding is stressful but Shawn and Vickee made this whole experience super easy! I highly recommend them to everyone looking to travel. Thank you!!!

We were trying to book a spring weekend trip but all the hotel prices and trying to find the best deals on various websites with everything we wanted was a little tedious and kind of overwhelming. Magical Journeys helped us book it in no time and at a great rate.

What is Travels?

magical journeys travel

Travels is a feature that allows you to go on a Trip, with exciting rewards at every step as you play June's Journey. Engage with activities in the game, earn Travel Tokens, and then advance along the Travels reward track! Every time you complete a step of your Trip, you unlock a reward, with a Final Trip Reward waiting for you at the end.

How do I unlock Travels?

You can play Travels after you reach Chapter 3, Scene 2, as long as a Trip is in progress.

Travels will be visible through a button on the middle-left side of your island screen, alongside other events such as Fairground Fortune.

We are still testing Travels for the moment, so not everyone will be able to go on a Trip just yet. Be sure to check our channels regularly for further updates, and look out for future Trips!

magical journeys travel

What are Travel Tokens, and how do I collect them? 

magical journeys travel

To progress through the event and earn fabulous rewards, you'll need some Travel Tokens! You can acquire Travel Tokens by completing Help Wanted cases, obtaining seasonal set decorations, and participating in all kinds of activities such as Sweep the Board and Secrets.

magical journeys travel

You can also get Travel Tokens from Travels token boxes, which contain random numbers of Travel Tokens. You may receive Travels token boxes as rewards from Help Wanted cases and seasonal sets. The wooden token box holds a good number of Travel Tokens, the pink token box contains even more of them, and the purple token box yields the largest number of tokens.

Earning Travel Tokens through Help Wanted

In Help Wanted, simply complete different challenges to progress through the Challenger Prize progress bar. The progress bar contains milestones, and whenever you reach a milestone, you'll earn Travels token boxes.

magical journeys travel

Earning Travel Tokens through seasonal sets

The principle is the same when you're obtaining Travel Tokens through seasonal sets. You will find milestone rewards on the progress bar, and as you obtain new decorations and fill the bar, you'll earn Travels token boxes. Remember to build the decoration after you buy it--you'll achieve the milestone only when the seasonal set item is complete, similar to how you earn Flowers.

If you're part of the ongoing Trip, you'll be able to repeatedly progress through the seasonal set. You'll be able to keep collecting Grand Prizes and fill the bar even after you've received the Grand Prize, with Travel Tokens as milestone rewards.

magical journeys travel

Earning Travel Tokens through events and activities

To see a list of all events and activities where you can earn Travel Tokens, tap the Earn Tokens button next to your progress bar.

magical journeys travel

Tapping the Earn Tokens button will display a screen with all the different activities from which you can obtain Travel Tokens.

magical journeys travel

How do I progress through Travels?

magical journeys travel

When you start earning Travel Tokens, a progress bar will appear at the top of the Travels screen. Once you fill up the bar with the required number of Travel Tokens, you unlock the next reward milestone on the reward track and can collect some goodies! 

How do I claim the rewards?

On the rewards screen, you'll recognize when a reward becomes unlocked when the lock image on that reward opens up and vanishes. Once a reward is unlocked, you can claim it. 

magical journeys travel

What is the Premium Pass?

The normal reward track offers free rewards as you progress in the Trip. However, with the Premium Pass, you'll have access to the premium reward track and, if you complete the Trip, an exclusive decoration as your Final Trip Reward. This means that, by owning the Premium Pass, you'll receive even more exciting rewards from the premium reward track with each reward milestone you unlock!

magical journeys travel

You can acquire the pass at any point during or even after the Trip, and you will be able to claim all rewards up to your current level of progression. The Premium Pass can be purchased once per Trip and does not transfer over to the next one.

How do I purchase the Premium Pass?

You can get to the Premium Pass purchase screen by pressing the Premium Pass button at the bottom of the Travels screen, or by tapping an unlocked premium reward.

magical journeys travel

I finished a Trip early. Can I still claim rewards? 

Yes, absolutely! If you complete a Trip before the event timer runs out, you can still visit the rewards screen to receive any rewards you haven't claimed yet. What's more, you can still purchase the Premium Pass and get to claim all the rewards on the premium reward track! You will be able to view the rewards screen until you have claimed all rewards on both reward tracks.

What happens after a Trip ends?

If you open the game after the event timer for a Trip runs out and you still have unclaimed rewards, then a screen will automatically appear on which you can claim those rewards.

If you are on the Travels screen when the event timer runs out, then you can still claim unclaimed rewards afterward and even purchase the Premium Pass too. If you leave Travels without collecting your unclaimed rewards, you will receive them through a pop-up window. When you have claimed all your rewards, the Travels button will no longer show up on the island screen.

Do I get to keep my Travel Tokens?

Travel Tokens are valid only for the duration of the current Trip, and they unfortunately won't transfer over to future Trips.

Why can't I play Travels?

First, check whether a Trip is ongoing and that you have reached at least Chapter 3, Scene 2!

Second, since we're still fine-tuning Travels, this feature won't be available to all players. We're working on developing a captivating and worthwhile experience for our Detectives, so thank you for your patience. As always, keep an eye on our channels for more information in the future!

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery and Museum

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

magical journeys travel

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

magical journeys travel

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

magical journeys travel

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

magical journeys travel

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

magical journeys travel

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

magical journeys travel

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

magical journeys travel

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
