The Serbian Ministry of Diaspora – Department for Status Issues, Unification of the Serbs (Обједињење Срба) Moscow, Сербское земљачество Москва, the Association for Preservation and Cultivation of the Culture of Vinĉa VINĈANSKI NEOLIT, the Association Milutin Milanković, the Association for the Protection of Cyrillic Alphabet ЋИРИЛИЦА, and KолоВенија Belgrade are inviting you to participate, either as a lecturer or as a listener, in the

International Scientific Conference

AT THE ORIGINS OF CULTURE AND SCIENCE

21st September 2012 – Belgrade, “Sava Centar“ (Plenary Session) 22nd September 2012 – Sections at Belgrade universities

23rd September 2012 – the archeological site of Vinĉa and the archeological site of Lepenski Vir

OBJECTIVES OF THE CONFERENCE: The Conference aims to consider on a multi-disciplinary basis: a) the origins of the word CULTURE and the CULTURE itself, and on what basis and

when the ancient people changed the nomadic for a sedentary way of life, and the way it relates to the orientation of a cyclic renewal on nature.

b) various aspects of interdependence between the achievements of the people of the original epoch of: Lepenski Vir (on the right bank of the Danube: Lepenski Vir, Vlasac, Hajduĉka

Vodenica, Padina and on the left bank of the Danube: Vetrenj, Terase, Ikoana, Razvrat, Ostrovul Banuluj, Skela Kladovej, Kuina Turkuluj) and

Starĉevo-Cris Culture: Starĉevo in Serbia, Körös/Kereš in Hungary and Criş/Кriš in Romania.

Vinĉa and the achievements of the modern world.

c) the earliest ingeniously simple (and accurate) world view/мировозрење of the epoch of Lepenski Vir: the view of the unity of men, nature and celestial motion, which gave birth to technological progress after having conceived in the epoch of Lepenski Vir and Vinĉa the basics of sciences and knowledge such as mathematics/calendar and astronomical knowledge, literacy, architecture, geology, agronomy, law, medicine,

d) development of the main features of the culture of Lepenski Vir and Vinĉa, not only from the standpoint of archeology and classical history and sociology, but also using the facts offered by the exact and natural sciences (mathematics, medicine/genetics/DNA research, astronomy, physics, mining, architecture, climatology, geology, paleobotanics, genetics, agronomy, linguistics, ethnology, theology, jurisprudence etc.),

e) the continuity of the culture of mankind despite numerous natural and social cataclysms and the cyclical nature of the development of civilization, and within that scope:

2

the questions: do nations and genera - na(rodi) disappear and what is the method to achieve that, or

does the dominant organizer of the society within the area of (''his own'') territory adapt the names of nations to his lexis (change the name, impose his language, his religion, his view of the world, his ethics) or

do various genera and nations – (na)rodi survive within the scope of tolerance of the rodoVerna (English: “faithful to the genus”) civilization,

f) колоДарско/каленДарско (“calendar”) secret knowledge '' when to sow and when to expect harvest'', as the basis of expansion of the agricultural culture and civilization of Vinĉa,

g) based on what logic (and how to overcome that absurd) are, at schools and universities, the Serbs and other South Slavs taught that our ancestors migrated to the Balkans

from the north in the VI century! the Russians taught that in the same VI and in VII century they migrated from the

Danube region /the Balkans to the present territory of the city of, or the river Moscow.

STARTING POINTS: The conference will, as the starting but not exclusive and only, include the following basis and discoveries on the origins of CULTURE AND SOME OF THE FOLLOWING SCIENCES: CULTURE, AGRICULTURE AND OENOLOGY

The word KULTuRA / Culture (as well as culture itself) originated from the Serbian/ancient Russian word KOLO, which was transformed in KVLV then in CVLT/Kult, (it is even recorded in Latin language that the word culture originated from the word (cult) COLLO/KOLO). The earliest world view (mirovozrenje) of the ancient Slavs/SloVena, who used to name themselves KoloVeni, was ingeniously simple - “Everything is Kolo/Circle” (the unity of the movement of the Earth round the Sun, nature and man), on which basis they discovered that this Kolo (Circle) of interdependence within the cyclical movement was materialized in the cross section of wood in the form of a growth ring – in Serbian: God (Godovi), which allowed the people of Lepenski Vir to specify a period of one year (God-ina is the Serbian/Russian word for “year”) as the time of resurrection of nature, thanks to which finding they were able to change the nomadic for sedentary way of life (which also accounts for the beginning of culture), and to start building houses of (divine) wood in Vinĉa, to plant crops in furrows and to harvest crops at the same place.

MATHEMATICS The mother (мать) of all sciences is mathematics, not philosophy, as some erroneously teach. Recently discovered research of Miloš Mitrović, a graduate of the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics of Moscow State University ''M.V.

Lomonosov'' shows that the foundation of mathematics was ZERO ( 0) which, at the

times of Lepenski Vir and Vinĉa did not mean ''nothing'', but was the concept of Az - Аз/

(primordial source – the Sun ), as the eternal resurrection of Kolo (Circle) of the ancient KoloVena (Slavs), which is why it was divided into three divine, equilateral crosses

(the cross of the Sun, the cross of the Earth and the cross of the night Sun/Moon ), which account for the origins of a Clock / ĈasoVenik (in Cyrillic alphabet: часоВеник/часоВник), the most widespread temple in the world, thus having: 12 figures the space between each of them having five papillary circles – points accounting

for fingers of a human hand, as an expression of the identity of cosmic and divinely human, which resulted in this eternal koloVrat/(колоВрат)/S/ДЗело/Zero having also

60 minutes, which concept was taken from Vinĉa to mathematics of Mesopotamia/MeĊureĉje (engl. ''the land between the rivers''), and which Gaius Julius Caesar did not manage to destroy in the mountainous and forested ''Trans-Alpine Galia'', thus being preserved to present days in that capital of ''ĉasoVenik/ часоВеника'' (clocks and watches) – Switzerland, which in those ancient times constituted a part of the culture of Vinĉa, bearing the name KoloVenija (Latinized version: HelVetija) the same like RasSija/Racija/Russia (in Cyrillic alphabet: РасСија/Рација/Русија) (Latinized version: Ruthenia).

Therefore, the first Cyrillic-alphabet tower clock, built by the Serbian master Lazar Hilandarac in Moscow in 1404, had the Cyrillic alphabet character A, that is Az/Аз in place of the figure 0, not in the place of figure 1, as the same clock, under the influence of Latin deceptions, was later restored (in Suzdal and in Moscow in Poljanka Street) by the Soviet restorers, who neither understood the Orthodox religion nor, as a consequence, the religion of the ancient KoloVena/КолоВена, where the RELIGION was the system of knowledge (ведать – to know RA (in Cyrillic alphabet - PA): genus Аз/Az: primary, primordial) of the civilization of Vinĉa, whose real name was RasSija/РасСија or KoloVenija/ КолоВенија.

This simple world view/мировозрења of the ancient SloVena/СлоВена/Slavs gave birth to architecture, law and medicine (med-Isina/медИсина), which account for the very origins of culture, although the origins of law, medicine and architecture have unreasonably and arbitrarily been attributed to Rome or Greece: ARCHITECTURE In I century BC, the famous Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius, in his work ''Ten Books on Architecture'' (''De architectura libri decum’’), argued that the Greek Callimachus constructed the Corinthian Capital after having seen a food basket braided with the leaves of achantus (Emily Cole: ''The Grammar of Architecture''). The book: «(KoloVeni/SloVeni/ КолоВени/СлоВени and the Continuity of Culture and Law’’ has, on the basis of the most recent scientific research, presented the evidence that the capital (kapitel) originated from the мировозрења (the world view) of the ancient Slavs/SloVena/KoloVena (in Cyrillic alphabet: СлоВена/КолоВена) ’’Everything is Kolo/Circle’’, as the cross section of the capital did express and still expresses Kolo (Circle):

a. circle on the Doric capital, and the same in the shape of

b. two equilateral crosses which on the Corinthian capital include: the Cross of the Sun, which on the external/visible part ends in a flower and the Cross of the Mother Earth, which passes into a volute.

This unity of the movement of the Mother Earth round the Sun is created by the Spirit of God – the Sun Rays expressed in the form of cannelures, which emerge out of the capiTal. The same cosmogony is nowadays expressed by the Orthodox Slavs (SloVeni) in the form of the most beautiful spiritual capital – the five-domed cross-shaped temple. LAW The word iustitia (Justitia/Justice) is, according to a Russian scientist Nokolai Ryzhkov, derived from a Serbian word ustiti (in Cyrillic alphabet: устити), which is true, because in the primordial source of Roman Law ''The Law of the Twelve Tables'' the subjective law was not divided into the power of attorney and prosecution, but the prosecutor had to correctly pronounce the formula of charges in order to be granted the LAW, which, according to the cult Kolo from Lepenski Vir, was the right / Russian: прямо from God (English: down right), but also Russian: наПРАВО/English: right, that is to the right, to the movement of the Sun, because ’’Everything is Kolo / Circle’’, in which a prosecutor today may be a defendant tomorrow, which accounts for the reliable proof that the source of Roman Law was Etruscan Law, and not the law of the alleged Greek colonies, because it was: KOLO(Ve)nija. MEDICINE The deities of Lepenski Vir were egglike (ovoid) and fishlike (ichthyoidal) because they did present and still present the мировозрење (world view) of the ancient KoloVena/SloVena (Slavs), who used to fish for beluga from the genus of sturgeon, which at exactly the

5

same time emerged to the surface of water for spawning as the goddess Morena, and it appeared that the world’s first physicians used to treat the rodoVerna (''faithful to the genus'') brethren with roes (sturgeon eggs), wine, honey and secret knowledge of KoloDar/kalenDar (Calendar), about the arrival of the Savior (from pestilence) – the Spring Sun, as the eternal resurrection of the annual movement of the Mother Earth round her offspring, the Sun. (PALEO)LINGUISTICS According to Professor Srboljub Ţivanović, Miloje Vasić has, in his diary kept at the National Museum in Belgrade, expressed the view that the signs found in Vinĉa are – the script and argued that the same must be examined and systematized on the basis of a multidisciplinary research. Not only did this fail to be performed for a long period of time, but the systematization of Professor Radivoj Pešić: ''The Vinĉa Script'' (and his use of the term the Vinča alphabet and comparison of it being identical to Etruscan alphabet) had been ignored until the symposium of the SASA held in Novi Sad, when the world's leading paleolinguists acknowledged that this is a script (but at the same time suggested that the name the Vinča script should be changed into the Danubian alphabet, in order to prevent it from being associated with the Slavs (SloVena)), which fact still fails to reach the people who are paid to be involved in Vinĉa and the Vinĉa script, as the earliest of in the world of science recognized scripts, regardless of whether it accounts for the script of an unknown nation or the alphabet of the SloVena (Slavs), the concept which, both in the linguistic and in the socio-historical framework, offers plenty of evidence. MINING AND GEOLOGY Archeology has determined the traces of mining reaching as far as to the times of the Vinĉa culture: Rudna Glava in Eastern Serbia is the oldest copper mine in the world, the cinnabar mine Šuplja Stena, on Avala mountain, used to be of extreme importance

for the development of the first forms of trade. The most recent discovery of the traces of copper processing and determination that the world's first metallurgy originated in the area of the Vinĉa culture more than seven millennia ago is yet another addition to a number of other evidence that the roots of civilization originated in the Danube region and the area of Lepenski Vir and Vinĉa.
