Figure 42. Symbols and signs of the Tripolye civilisation
(the 4th-3rd millennium BCE, Ancient Europe).
I would like to mention another important fact that you once pointed to us. In those
settlements, many female figurines with cut marks and sacred ornaments were found,
which indicates that these peoples honoured the creative feminine principle. It is also
noteworthy that during the excavation of other ancient cultures, the abundance of such
marks on ceramics was found as well, but there were also many women's jewellery
pieces with the same sacred symbols and female figurines with signs. The burials of
women shamans who possessed the sacred knowledge during life were found nearby as
well. The objects and many other features found in the places of the burial pointed at
that. This testifies that women took a very active part in the spiritual life of the society as
well as in the rituals and that it is the feminine, divine principle that was worshipped by
the ancient people.
Rigden: So it should be in a harmonious, spiritually developed community. Because the
feminine principle in the spiritual aspect is exactly the manifestation of the creative
power of Allat...
Anastasia: After you had first touched on the subject of signs many years ago, I found
many examples of the presence of different signs and symbols in the ancient cultures.
For example, the cultures of the Balkan-Danube region, which is a number of
archaeological cultures of the Neolithic and the Chalcolithic Ages in 5th-3rd millennium
BCE that occupied a large area of ancient Europe and the Balkans (a mountain range in
the South-East of Europe). A rather rich "ornament" consisting of the main symbols can
be traced on the artefacts. It includes circles, spirals, triangles, crosses, pyramids,
rhombuses, and other signs.
