О чём не сказал или чего не знал Геродот (Hdt., IV, 89, 97-98, 139-141)
What Herodotus didn’t say or didn’t know (Hdt., IV, 89, 97-98, 139-141)

Summary/Abstract: The article is intended to examine the events that took place around the crossing of the Danube by the Persian king Darius I during his campaign against the Scythians at the end of the 6th century. BC The location of the crossing (floating bridge, pontoon type) is determined quite reliably, as has already been repeatedly stated in the literature. Near this place on the left bank of the river there is a famous archaeological site − the Kartal settlement. The monument is multi-layered. A full-fledged layer (settlement) of the Late Archaic era that would correspond to these events has not been identified. As you know, the period of operation of the crossing was very short. However, there is a small group of finds and individual complexes that may well be associated with it. Among the finds, imported Greek ceramics predominate, however, there are also those that can be attributed to the short-term stay of the Persians here. Some stories related to the arrangement of the crossing of the Danube in later times make it possible to make more understandable certain episodes that do not appear quite clearly in Herodotus’ story
