Maybe you explain why Capricorn has a fish tale, whether this is to do with rainfall and rising rivers?

Let me know what you think.<br />I took a closer look at the famous Dupljaja Cart - a figure of a deity in a chariot that is pulled by two birds - seemingly swans or ducks. Another partial cart was also discovered at the location. It is also stated that the place was the location of a major Slavic fort. Now, the human figures of the Dupljaja cart have bird heads - this detail repeats itself everywhere I look: deities with bird heads are all across the European world and beyond. The earliest such depiction is from the Lascaux cave from 17,000 years BP (Magdalenian period) - showing a man with a head of a bird. <br />I connected this cart figure with the strong Slavic belief in birds. Souls migrating into birds, roosting in world tree of Veles, returning with the spring and bringing new life (reincarnation, etc.) Could it be a possibility that Perun (or some other Slavic deity) rode chariots pulled by birds, rather than goats? It makes so much more sense, to be honest. And could this Dupljaja figure and similar finds of carts pulled by birds be an early representation of Perun? If so, it would certainly give a strong contribution to the fact that the Slavic cultures are much older than the modern history claims them to be. Consider this theory. Thank you for reading, I appreciate all your work!

Thank you for this. Your theory is rational and opens many new possibilities that show huge glimpses into the Old Europe. One question - can you elaborate on Perun riding goat chariots? I haven't heard of this before, can you share some source or proof, for further reading? Thank you. Alexnoreply@blogger.com
