On the night of 9 March 2889 B.C., having just passed through the Pleiades, the planets Venus and Mars found themselves in a conjunction visible from Earth as a close approach or “posture of love”. Venus and Mars appeared to have been forcibly separated when, unexpectedly, Encke’s Comet passed between them and continued on its way through the Pleiades. Vučedolians marked the unique occurrence with a collective human sacrifice. Such a happening could never have been planned for, since it is seen in the heavens at most once in several thousand years.

The second movie “Vučedol Partridge”  tells the story about the most advanced metallurgy in Europe and that story begins in 1938 at the cult place of the archaeological site Vučedol where was excavated a bird that represents a partridge. The 5000 years old partridge was found buried in front of the entrance to the so-called “Megaron of the Copper Founder”.

The technology of changing the structure of nature (ores, liquids and metals) could only be explained through myths and the founder who changes the structure of nature becomes the one who communicates with the supernatural. Thus the Vučedol bird became the oldest symbol of metallurgy and it merged technology and mythology. The founders are the lords of fire and furnace and the Megaron of the copper founder is not only a workshop but also a temple dedicated to the Vučedol god of fire and casting.

The beauty and the lure of the sky had never left us indifferent. From prehistory to the present day, stars have fascinated people for millennia. Astron in Greek means star and Astronomy is the science of celestial bodies. There is nothing more beautiful than celestial bodies placed above us to watch them and human interest in astronomy dates back to ancient times. Our ancient ancestors kept a very detailed record of the movements of celestial bodies. It included daily, monthly, and annual positions. They formulated theories and followed cycles in an attempt to explain the universe. Theories moved from the mystical and religious to the scientific spectrum until today’s science – ASTRONOMY. The power of the mind and the richness of observed phenomena throughout human history must not be neglected or forgotten.
Vučedol hides secrets inscribed on objects buried a few meters below the ground. Pictographic records are maps of the night sky that this great civilization watched and worshiped thousands of years before us.
