Abstract
The word KULTuRA / Culture (as well as culture itself) originated
from the Serbian/ancient Russian word KOLO, which was transformed
from KVLV into CVLT/Kult, (it is even recorded in the Latin language
that the word culture originated from the word (cult) COLLO/KOLO).
The earliest world view (mirovozrenje) of the ancient Slavs/SloVena,
who used to call themselves KoloVeni, was ingeniously simple -
“Everything is Kolo/Circle” (the unity of the movement of the Earth
round the Sun, nature and man) - on which basis they discovered that
this Kolo (Circle) of interdependence within the cyclical movement
was materialized in the cross section of wood in the form of a growth
ring – in Serbian: God (Godovi). This allowed the people of Lepenski
Vir to specify a period of one year (Godina is the Serbian/Russian word
for “year”) as the time of resurrection of nature. Through this finding
they were able to change their nomadic way of life into a sedentary
one (which also accounts for the beginning of culture) and to start
building houses of (divine) wood in Vinča, plant crops in furrows and
to harvest crops at the same location.
This simple world view/мировозрења of the ancient SloVena/Сло-
Вена/Slavs gave birth to architecture, law and medicine (med-Isina/
медИсина), which account for the very origins of culture, although
the origins of law, medicine and architecture have unreasonably and
arbitrarily been attributed to Rome or Greece.
