Vukovar: A Dialogue Across Millennia

💗At the Vučedol Culture Museum on the outskirts of Vukovar, I experienced a remarkable conversation with a 5,000-year-old civilization. 💗Though modest in size, this museum built directly atop its archaeological site safeguards astonishing prehistoric secrets - the precious remnants of the Vučedol culture dating back to 3000 BC.🔅 💎Most awe-inspiring are the pottery vessels adorned with celestial symbols (last three photos from the "Above the Horizon" series), 🔅where ancient artisans recorded their cosmic understanding through intricate geometric patterns. 💎The reconstructed burial scenes take one's breath away - the deceased deliberately arranged in constellation formations, this "stellar burial" ritual revealing humanity's earliest astronomical beliefs. 🌈Today, the museum displays ancestral skulls at eye level, creating a profound temporal echo - where millennia ago humans gazed skyward contemplating mortality, now we meet our forebears' remains face-to-face, pondering eternity. #CroatianHiddenGems #PrehistoricCivilizations #MuseumAdventures
