Thanks DTA for the link to that Smithsonian story, it's an excellent GGG topic idea, and I couldn't find anything about the site on FR.

Thanks, this is a very interesting site. What a location. If they got tired of fish they could take some game in the hills. Very sheltered. The town construction and art objects look quite advanced for the time.

It’s easy to read these archeological clues:

1. The stone sculpture images all have sad faces with turned down mouths.

2. The scupltures are found in a hole.

3. Hole=quagmire

4. Bush is in a quagmire in Iraq

5.The destruction of their culture is all Bush’s fault.

Is there a link to a Smithsonian website over this topic? The “link” in the post goes to a SAWF.org article.

Lepenski vir represent only one piece of the puzzle where the roots of civilization really are.

Vinca culture is another piece of puzzle. The story is even more interesting than Lepenski Vir, and even better hidden from the public view.

The world's oldest script is from there. That's where Sumerians got their ideas.

Vinca culture is perfect GGG topic.
