Thread: Villagers in the city.

1. Traffic jam in the in Lower city

From the documentary that was filmed in Belgrade, capital of Serbia (and at that time, in 1922, capital of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes). Film can be found here:
The film is full of wonderful characters. Like this grapes seller.
I just love these old fellows. Their faces are amazing...
Market sellers "doing business" in a "kafana" (literally caffe, but but in reality a drinking den what also served food and coffee) across the Bajloni market in Dorćol area of Belgrade. Look at these faces...

Thread: While we are talking about Göbekli Tepe, I would like to just ask few questions about the "famous" pillar 43, Otherwise known as "scorpion and vultures pillar". I would add "and bags, don't forget the bags"...

Is this a random collection of images or??? Image
Scorpio is the only Zodiac sign which has its double: eagle (actually a vulture and you will see soon why).

I have shown in my posts about zodiac signs

That they are actually all solar calendar markers, marking the part of the solar year when the animal in question has its mating or birthing season. An obvious annual event which you can't miss...

Thread: In 1936, two brothers were ploughing a vineyard on the Vinik hill near Niš in South Eastern Serbia. Then suddenly their plough hit a stone. When the brothers started digging around the stone they realised that the stone was a part of a stone wall... Image
It turned out that they had stumbled upon a Roman building, which judging by the thinness of the wall was of a temporary character. Which is quite interesting because what was in the building...
A row of pithoi lined the walls. And these were full of leather bags, which were full of Roman coins. According to the witnesses, almost 10 tons of Roman coins. The single biggest hoard of Roman coins ever found... Image

Thread: This Çatalhöyük mural is thought to depict a nearby volcanic eruption. New scientific evidence confirms a contemporaneous eruption at nearby Hasan Dağ volcano which actually looks very similar. Cool right?
But what I find really interesting about this mural is the depictions of the Çatalhöyük itself underneath the volcano.

Çatalhöyük was a very large settlement in southern Anatolia, which existed from approximately 7100 BC to 5700 BC. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Çatalhöyük
Now Çatalhöyük houses were built in a very unusual way. They had no doors. So people entered houses through roof hatches which also served as chimneys.

Thread: Does anyone else think that this picture, allegedly showing King John on a stag hunt, looks strange, and may be hiding something in plain sight? No? Well I do 🙂 Here is why: oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2017/01/king-j… Image
As I mentioned in the article about the King John's hunt, the holy animal of the Slavic sun god Svetovid was a white horse, which was kept in Svetovid's temples and was used for divination.

oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2015/05/svetov… Image
But why was a white horse considered to be a solar animal? Well maybe because mating season of wild horses is driven by the sunlight. Mares fertility is tuned to day length, which means they are most fertile around summer solstice... oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2020/06/trojan… Image

Thread: In 2017, after the discovery of a strange trapezoid Natufian culture "shrine" (L) with paved floor and central hearth, I wrote an article asking is there a link between it and and Lepenski Vir houses (R) with paved floors and central hearths... oldeuropeanculture.blogspot.com/2017/12/natufi… ImageImage
As a link I proposed Pre Potery Neolithic A and B cultures of levant, which were established by the descendants of the Natufians...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Potte…
They, just like Lepenski Vir people buried their dead under the floors of their houses. And they plastered the heads of their ancestors, and displayed them in their settlements (L). Well Lepenski Vir people made stone heads and displayed them in their settlements (R)... ImageImage

Thread: Extremely rare type of cross legged sitting burial from Mesolithc Lepenski Vir culture from Serbia. Only three people from Lepenski Vir culture were buried like this. All other burials were "normal" ones. All three sitting burials date to the period 8450–7700 call. BC Image
The only other burial like this, that I know of, was a Corded Ware culture burial discovered in Kietrz (Poland). Dated to 2900BC - 2350BC Image
Many burials with spread legs, are found in Bronze Age central Europe. Examples:
A: Samborzec, (Poland, Bell Beaker culture).
B: Kétegyháza (Hungary, Pit Graveculture).

But I don't think they are related... Image
