съдина
(Vessels in Dispute)
(Authentic Massacre of the Innocent
Image Painting # 72)
In
December 1949, three brothers were digging for clay outside the town of Panagyurishte,
located 90 km east of Sofia. For those
of you who are unaware of these treasures, the Panagyurishte find consists of
nine solid gold (6.1kg) vessels of sophisticated craftsmanship, decorated with
different zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figures.
That is all well and good - you can find out about these trifles on the
internet. What is NEVER spoken about is
the 10th vessel, totally unique in appearance as it does not allude
in form at all to the blending of blending Eastern forms with imagery of Greek
origin. 1
From the civilization of
Ancient Thrace, (researchers are in dispute, but I know) the treasure
was hid in a crisis during the reign of
Cotys II (300BC - 280BC).
When the Gauls sacked Seuthopolis in
281 BC, and Cotys and company were taken as slaves, Coyts, knowing his wife to
be a Bhubezi Woman, hid her, the Panagyurishte treasure and the
съдина, promising he would come
back. Pallene knew he would not, but was
grateful to the gentle man with hands the size of mountains who was her sworn
guardian. 2
And what of the съдина you
make ask?
This vessel is
actually a map to Between. The one who
can unlock the reading mechanism is The
Traveller.
She does not know this as she crosses the world in search of The Keys
with The Red Giraffe. Neither does he -
in fact, no-one does except you and I. 3
Historian Z.H.
Archibald writes:
The Odrysians created the first
state entity which superseded the tribal system in the east Balkan peninsula.
Their kings were usually known to the outside world as kings of Thrace,
although their power did not extend by any means to all Thracian tribes. Even
within the confines of their kingdom the nature of royal power remained fluid,
its definition subject to the dictates of geography, social relationships, and
circumstance - it was no autocratic rule, and that
was no accident - that was the work of Pallene.
