that we think is capable to destroy everything that had been built
by effort or miracle. So here appears the curse of the violent interruptions
that would force us to take everything back from the beginning
and would force us to try to build again what had been built
before or even to redefine ourselves as something that we had not
been before, searching to find our identity. However, our catastrophist
vision about ourselves, which confuses the superficial
episodes with the major deep changes, must be not only corrected,
but denied, because, in fact, watching all from the inside of the
sequential rhapsodic moments, the catastrophic is not even confirmed.
Otherwise we could not even explain an aspect that is not
generally recognized although, around 800 B.C., the „Scythian“
Anacharsis of the Carpathians went to his contemporary Greece
and advices the inhabitants of the towns where later Solon Socrates,
Anaxagoras and Thales of Milet appeared, with the profound knowledge
of a wise man whose great thoughts are still preserved.

in fact the illustration of culture by dispersion) and who appeared
as if without history like the great public speakers although, without
a doubt, he did not appear from nowhere. Suddenly we are in
the world of zalmoxism, which represents a kind of impenetrable
sapiential attitude, spiritualist anthropologic example, communion in
a closed fundamental circle, rituals with a cosmologic sense and a
method of preservation, all together religion. His counsels do exist
although were not excerpted as Pythagoras' thoughts, which were
preserved in fragments. And once they are cleaned from the alterations
of the apocryphal and corrupted transmission, they shall become
pure understandable philosophy that preserves a lot of what we think
the people of Cucuteni had passed on to us. A wisdom preserved
in organizations by the eremites on the Sacred Mountain, which is
translated in „vegetal“ institutions, in-vertebrate in the light of history
and which explains the apologues of Dromichetes and the fable
of Scorillo, the prestige of Deceneu, the secret monachism in the
Carpathians and further on, after the so called „silent“ millennium,
