History

The first inhabitants on the shore of the current narrow bay were the Greeks as part of the Greek colonization of the Black Sea. The city of Kalos Limen (Καλός Λιμήν – Lovely Harbor) was founded on this site by Chersonesus in the second half of the 4th century BC. It was one of the important centers of agriculture and trade, among both Greek and Scythian centers. By the middle of the 2nd century BC in the Greco-Scythian war, the town had been captured the Scythians. Although liberated by Pontic intervention by the end of the 2nd century, it again fell under Scythian control by the mid-1st century BC to the early 2nd century AD. Scythian control ended permanently thereafter, possibly owing to Roman intervention.

In Russian the settlement was originally known as Ak-Mechet (Ак-Мечеть), from the Crimean Tatar "Aqmeçit", which literally means a white mosque.[5] A mosque with a tall white minaret used to exist here.[5] After the Crimean Tatars were forcibly deported in 1944, the settlement was given its present name, which alludes to the settlement's coastal location on the Black Sea.[5]

gollark: The new one is much better - it contains less code (if you ignore the giant cryptography libraries someone else wrote), can do partial updates, and can even cryptographically verify the updates to prevent tampering (probably).
gollark: The old updater thing actually used to just download files directly from pastebin every time it detected a change in one of them, but pastebin started being annoying and I decided I wanted stuff like version control.
gollark: Technically yes, but why?
gollark: Sadly, no, only OpenComputers can.
gollark: CC can only really send HTTP requests, do websockets, that sort of thing.
