Aboriginals, meaning "from origin", "of origin" (from Latin - ab origin), inhabited the Australian continent 40,000 years ago, we are informed by Josephine Flood.1 Using the well known scheme, Aboriginals are not considered the autochthon population of the country, which they, however, consider their one and only forefathers' land from the beginning of time. Such a supposition may have served the Europeans, constantly in search for foreign regions to conquer, to colonize them as "the primitive savages". It has remained unknown, and, of course, quite unnecessary to explain where they came from.
IMPRESSION OF FOREFATHERS' SOUL
If migrations have been pointed out to be the key historical moment, which most often, is referred to as the departure point for explanations of historical past or the past considered not to have historical background, it is of utmost importance to emphasize the two central points designating the departure and arrival points, "the forefathers' land" and "the new homeland of ethnic groups", which "migrate" in such large numbers, travelling large distances in unknown directions. Two skeletons or to be more precise, fragments of two skeletons, dated back to 26,000 years B.C., one robust, the other one gracious, sufficed to reach a conclusion of two worlds, the native and the migrated ones. Accordingly, Aboriginals are the migrated ones. It is well known the
generous Europeans put them into reservations and they were honored with the same fate of the Indians after the discovery of America. They would probably not migrate again from their "new" homeland.
Kath Walker, of Aboriginal origin, who dedicated many of her poems to the soul of this stopped civilization, established however an comprehension diagram of the Aboriginal community representing their "social space" and "social time" by a system of concentric circles named by her "Me circles". The said "life circle" does not represent only the mechanism of living order but also of survival. It is, at the same time, the key of movements and migrations of peoples, considered by historiography as being a convention. According to Kath Walker's system, community movement is caused by their tendency towards ecological equilibrium. That is to say, when living sources of one territory were exhausted, the group moved to another place and that went on until the group returned to the departure point several years later, after the cycle had been completed.2
The rules of such an order were drawn not only on their bodies but also on small stones put at burial into the grave, by the body of the dead, with incisions of a sign which represented the soul impression of the dead, hence the name "soul stones". The same kind of "soul stones" were discovered in the Mas d'Asil cave at Ariege, the chronology of which was determined to ca. 10,000 years. Red ocher was used for incision of, to us as yet, unknown script, which may not represent only the "soul impression of the forefathers", but also may represent a system of a linear script to be found elsewhere in the world on other archaeological sites. One of

these sites is found near the village Bele Vode (White Waters) in the vicinity of the town Krushevac, with linear signs incised in stones, the morphology of which is identical to the morphology of Mas d'Asil and that found on the Canary Islands. Examples of the like archaic literacy are found in the caves of Bugar mountain near Slunj, in the Ledenjacha cave (Ice cave) near the village of Badanj, hi Bosnia and Herzegovina. If conscientiousness of history is arisen by the script, then we need new, this time more profound, penetration into the past in order to extend the historical tune and expand historical space to defend ourselves from the feeling of anxiety, nausea and misconception.
MIDDLE DANUBE BASIN IN THE CENTER OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION
The system of concentric circles offered by Kath Walker as one of the models for logic comprehension of the so- called migrations is analogue to the Newton's electromagnetic field and the latter to the linguistic vector of civilization. The vertical aspiring upwards means tendency towards the sublime, the vertical downwards, the tendency towards the material. The interrelation of these verticals influences the development of civilizations and the causality of their survival. This attitude represents the only way to perceive other cultures appearing in the Middle Danube Basin, the epicentral region of the early European civilization. Reduction to stereotype of the approach to material traces of early civilization cultures and exclusion of interdisciplinary research methodology, jeopardized not only own minute predispositions of researchers, reduced to mere registration of found objects and the chronological classification thereof, but also the exalted ambitions more complexly to envisage an
entire world of the past, very complex and transcendentally cognizant in its spirituality. If we are able to perceive the obvious, then the discovery proper of the script moved both geographic and historical boundaries of expansion and duration of a civilization, which will enlighten, by its energy, epochs to come.
But the circle is not closed here, as the vertical, in the spiritual eye of the Middle Danube Basin's world, 9,000 years away from us, empirically cognizant in everything representing life manifestation, is not a religion from the present classical point of view, but an ideal unity, a pure structure, the nearest notion to which is the Sanskrit shradha, the German equivalent of which is glaubig (believing), in our language it is expressed by our compound vera-zakon (faith-law). These are the relations of logic coherence and unity, in which that world lived, and of which it informs us simply through its messages. But its messages do not reach our perception, as we do not believe hi its script, which we reject in spite of our inability to decipher it. We are looking for its script and its messages in a faraway Mesopotamia and Egypt, on the Far and the Near East, the very countries where its later followers lived.
In this way, the descendants of the Middle Danube Basin banished their own ancestors from their already poor knowledge.
EVEN HERODOTUS DID NOT KNOW
It exists nothing contrary to the truth or alike the truth, says the Indie tradition. The truth, in essence, is not so sad. Old Indie people learned the truth by chanting their Vedas, their spiritual and social laws. The peoples of Agatyrsi who lived in the VI century B.C. on their vast "land of gold"
« from the rivers Morish and the Tarnish up to Sremska
Mitrovica (Sirmium) learned their laws in the same way, by chanting. To chant (sing) means to search for the rhythm of nature, to equate with its sound harmony that faces the truth.
The Islamic soldiers invaded for thousand years Indie border, but India succeeded to keep its geography. Over two hundred years European Indologists try to discover the forefather's land of Indie peoples, but with meager results. Even Herodotus did not know the origin of Agatyrsi, and only guessed the Etruscans to have come to the Apennines from Lydia as Tyrsens. The Etruscans called themselves Rashni, Raseni or Rasi. If they were Tyrsens, Tyrsi, it did not necessarily mean Herodotus had been obliged to connect them with Agatyrsi in order to discover the origin of either of them, so much so, as Agatyrsi could have reminded him, in his own language, not on the barbaric one, that they also have an attribute aga-agia meaning sanctimonious (holly). Herodotus did not know the Etruscan language, though at the time, no definite genocide of Etruscans had been carried out. He could have informed himself in much closer detail about their language in direct contacts when visiting the Apennine Peninsula. There were still their books written in Vincha script. This fact shocked immensely some of our contemporaries, who had outright rejected, first, the grounds of Vincha script and afterwards any connections between the Vincha and Etruscan Civilizations, due to the enormous time span between the appearance of the two worlds, emphasizing that Vincha Culture appeared between the VI and the IV millennia, while the Etruscan civilization reached its peak at the beginning of the I millennium. One keeps forgetting the traces of Vincha script expanded as far as the end of the II millennium, while the beginning of the Etruscan civilization
flourish was shifted to a deeper past, on the basis of the most recent archaeological researches.
It is still obvious the circle has yet not been closed. The old civilizations point to a somewhat different geography comparing to the one they have been drawn into.
THE COMPLEX OF NEWCOMERS FORCED UPON SLAVS
The Armenian historian Moses von Chorene from the V century A.D. wrote, "Thracian country was represented by five smaller regions and a large one inhabited by seven Slav tribes." The said Thracian country encompassed the present Balkan geography. The historiography, however, mentions the Slavs on the Balkans only in the VI or the VII centuries. For 1,400 years, the complex of newcomers has been forced upon the Slavs in a way that they themselves did not know whence they had come from, how long they could stay there where they were presently and whereto should they return, if such a case occurred? Over 2,000 years, Slavs have been subjected to divisions and migrations by skilful manipulations of various religions and ideologies, by falsification of their history and geography, by underestimating and neglecting even the exact axioms of Isaac Newton's electromagnetic field or the system of concentric circles of Kath Walker, all with the aim to renounce their autochthony and submit them to colonization.
Much, much deeper penetration into the past discovers documented argumentation, basically changing the picture of Slav historical past, but not only up to the V century, as mentioned by Chorene, though the historiography denies even that.
Messages of old civilizations, however, have been rejected without even being read, but we should suppose if
read, they could have warned us against a very brutal wakening up.
There is a thought by Arnold Toynby, not even new or original, but correct as a whole because it has been logical. It says: "The further we look into the past the less have we proof for complacency and detachment."
Even this statement cannot convince us the closure of the circle is possible. If the research of history does not at the same time mean the research of historiography, then it would have been, once more, only one-sided observance of facts. Historiography is not called for to create past according to the needs of a present moment, but to discern it and show it in its authenticity. We have been taught by the supreme ethnic principle of the Indie tradition to be obliged to extend our feeling of gratitude to the past, of respect to the present, and of obligation to the future. It is not certain how much the world has grown up to this unique principle. In spite of everything, these other exits were only illusions leading into anarchy, hatred and crime.
On February 17*, 1600 A.D., Giordano Bruno was executed after eight years of imprisonment because he wanted to prove existence of eternity. A thousand years before, sacred books of India and Tibet as well as "Vishnupurana" documented the same maxim.
The circle was not closed even with the execution of Giordano Bruno.
In these dramatic moments, while the experiment with the Slavs keeps lasting, what is only left to us but to express anxiety: Oh, my Lord, how cruel, how mortal the ignorance can be!
