"On The Turning Away"

Few days ago I posted some selfie that I made in the National Museum and it occurred to my mind to write some impressions. It was closed for 15 years and it was about time to start again working. If your path takes you to Belgrade, check this place.

Here you can see items from a few centuries BC, from well shaped jewelry to beautifully designed pots for making brandy. The museum is on three floors, there is a lot to see... I spent there 4 hours and it wasn't enough....one floor I didn't have time to see, so I need to go back.

This is part of the jaw. It belonged to Homo heidelbergensis. Imagine something a few hundred thousand years old in front of you, to be precise, 400 thousand years.

I remember these sculptures from primary school, they were on the cover of a book of art.

And this is wild ox's horn.

O yeah, at that time they enjoyed tea.

And this sculpture named "Votive charlot" dates back to the second half of the second millennium BC.

But imagine that you make brandy in this kettle, with this handwork.

The motifs of the jewelry from the Čurug hoard dated to the 4^th century BC. I do not usually wear jewelry, but I would now make an exception.

These Hellenic and Roman sculptures, created between the 2^th century BC and first decades of the 4^th century AD were used for worship. I believe that you can recognize some of them.

and here's the creepy Diocletian

I've skipped a couple of centuries to photograph, it was a big crowd.

When I saw this, I remembered why I did not like history in high school. Then you had to know everything from A to Z. this is the family tree of Serbian rulers

Here are some other things that have attracted my attention.

Is this another division bell?

As I said, I need to go back, so expect more in the future. : )

Enjoy the day!
