Styx River (Perm)

Styx River (Perm)

The Styx ( _ru. Стикс) is a small river in Perm, a left tributary of the Yegoshikha. It is named for the River Styx in Greek mythology.

17 thousand years ago there was the paleolithic settlement Yegoshikha near the mouth of Styx. It was explored in 2003 by Kama Archaeological Expedition of Perm State University under the leadership of Andrey Fyodorovich Melnichuk. During the excavations several thousand of diverse stone tools were found. It was established that settlement inhabitants hunted for deers and horses.
