The authors present 3d reconstructions of the painted tombs of Bosporus Kingdom, a state, which existed in the North Black Sea area in 6th century B. C. - 5th century A. D. Crypts were found and investigated by Russian historians in second half of 19th - beginning of 20th century. Reconstructions are executed on the basis of the archive materials, which are stored in the Institute of Material Culture of Russian Academy of Sciences in St.-Petersburg. The crypts were lost because of political events at the beginning of 20th century. Of special interest among available material, on basis of which the computer reconstruction was conducted, are the aquarelles and gouaches of Russian artists of 19th - 20th centuries. The computer reconstructions of crypts are executed with the aid of the application 3Ds Max.
