As a long time archeology enthusiast, ever since I was a little girl, if I saw something old it would take me back in time.
Just like the first time I've learned about the pyramids.
Oh God, I was so fascinated!
I would spend hours daydreaming about people walking there, doing the regular stuff, going about their day, making those clay pots and using them, fishing, building, or preparing a huge momentous event for the Pharaoh!
I would imagine what a girl like me would do among them?
What would be my purpose?
Later in life I found out that I also live in an old town and that I don’t need to go to Egypt to see the history.
(Dubrava - Hanzine. Twenty million years old Miocene deposits have been found in this area.)
It is right beneath my feet. It’s in front of my house.
And once I saw it like that I started discovering more and more. Whenever I have had the time I would go around these places documenting, taking pictures and learning about it’s history.
I will keep up my blogs and write about so many interesting places.
Even though I wasn’t blessed enough to be an archeology mayor, I feel so lucky today because most of the knowledge is free and online and that’s where I get my joy!
Give me all the latest published scientific papers. Give me all the latest articles.
Give me blogs and pictures and paint me an even clearer picture of that every day life, from the year whatever.
Zadar Croatia
My birth place and also the oldest continuously inhabited Croatian city. First known cultural artefacts inside the city walls come from some time in the 6th century and some villages surrounding it are even older, from an early paleolithic age.
Zadar is my hometown and in these blogs I will introduce you with one of the longest histories, most interesting places and people ever existed.
So there is A LOT yet to be documented.
I decided I will not be lazy this year and my goal is atleast 2 blogs a week!
If you like that sort of content, history, photography and old tales, be sure to follow and I will try to do my best to deliver! :)
Let me daydream about those momentous events,
carved stone and beduin tents.
Handmade jewels and deep water pearls,
little girls doing twirls.
Wooden spoons and wooden wheels,
beduin tents and spicy meals.
