Recently I stumbled across this really bogus site which propagates idea that yugoslavia is being depopulated in order to became a place for resettlement of 12 milion space aliens.
Draco presence in Yugoslavia
the recorded history of my now lost home country.
Very soon it has become obvious that this region indeed was a subject to constant depopulation through wars, unimaginable artrocities and blodshed sinc ancient time- this string ending in the NATO bombings of Serbia in 1999.
But there was one stop on this journey that deserves attention.
During middle ages - while the rest of Europe was engulfed with darkeness in the very heart of South Slavic teritories - flourished the bastion of free thought.
The ideas of Mani have found many followers across all over Europe of those times.
In France they were known as Cathars, in Italy as Albigens and Patarens.
One branch of Bulgarian Bogumils reached westward and found a feritle ground on the teritory which now belongs mostly to Bosnia and Dalmacia.
This heresy flourished amongst stubborn south slavs for centuries and after many attempts Vatican finaly managed to remove this thorn from its sight .
The culmination was reached when Bosnian ruler Kulin Ban and his wife converted to bogumilism. Their medival kingdoom soon became meca for all their heretical brothers and sister from all over Europe. Refugees who managed to escape vatican death squads were pouring into Bosnia.
Vatican's inquisition was sistematicaly trying to eradicate this heresy from the face of medieval Europe but the final blow came from the east hundred years later when most of the balkans was invaded by Otoman Empire.
Little is known about everyday life of bosnian bogumil state. There are very few written records and other material evidence.
It seems that bogumils didnt care much for material culture.
The only trace they left behind are engraved stones also known as Stechci which are now scattered all over balkan woods and medows, somwhat surreal evidence of lost time. They look like hudge srchopags and burial chambers but only occasionaly human remains were found in them. In most of the cases they are empty. Their surface richly reliefd with various motives.
Croatian writer Miroslav Krleza wrote the following about these unusual monuments
"Nek ti ova ruka bude znak da se zamislis nad svojim rukama"
"May this hand be a wake up call for you to ponder over your own hands "
The relief depicts strange looking hand
It is extremely difficult to find electronic images of bogumile art but as soon as I manage to find some decent images I will post them here.
