DISCOVERIES
ABOUT THE LITERACY, LANGUAGEDISCOVERIES
ABOUT THE LITERACY, LANGUAGEOn this occasion we should note as well that we have deciphered
fifty inscriptions, writings from Osinchani, Lepenski Vir, Vincha, Gradeshnitsa,
Sitovo, Tartariya, Lemn, Lesb, Corinth, Skochivir canyon, Kratovo region
etc. which are written in the ancient Macedonian language and with the
ancient Macedonian alphabet. Still one of the most startling written monuments
which with it's graphics as well as it`s contents and can be dated at about
4,500 B.C. is the one on the wall of the Sitovo cave close to Plovdiv Bulgaria.
Besides the inscription, Neolithic ceramics were registered in the cave
as well which with their characteristics correspond to the ones from the
so- called Vincha group. The inscription is rather imposing because it
is performed in two lines which are 3.40 m long and the written signs are
40 cm tall. The text is written from the right going to the left with written
signs of the prehistoric Macedonian phonetic alphabet and on the ancient
Macedonian language. The alphabet itself is exceptionally disciplined.
This written monument was published for the first time in the archaeological
literature in 1950 by Z. R. Morfova and in 1971 with an inverseordinaire
it was published by J. Todorovic. Up till now we are not familiar with
any attempts to decipher this text from Sitovo and our results from the
deciphering have been completed by the beginning of 1995. The authentic
text from the inscription from the cave at Sitovo close to Plovdiv has
the following graphics:
 and the same from the right to the left and transcribed with written signs from the contemporary Macedonian alphabet it sounds:   t ni n lti

: id s nj]This exceptional text in verse translated in contemporary Macedonian standard language and with respect to the information of the prehistoric punctuation of the distribution of the verse lines, we come up with the following contents and form: 
I VO OVOY LET U ZHASI NEGO GO TISHTELE I ETE PSALI KUKYATA: "I VO RESH SI GOSTIN NA UTKITE ODI, SONUVAY!")
AND IN THIS FLIGHT HORRORS HAVE HAUNTED HIM AND THERE THE HOUSE PSALMS (IN THE HOUSE THEY SING PSALMS) AND IN ROAST YOU ARE A GUEST OF THE DUCKS - GO, DREAM!"  " [utka]
in the text of the inscription from Sitovo probably refers to a swamp bird
that is a : " "[patka],
" " [pajka] or " "
[ atka] (in latin "Anas") as it still remains today and is understood by
the Russians under the same name, and not as we today under the same term
of "" [utka] which
on English means "duck" understand an owl, what the Russians know as " "
[sova], " " [s
it ] (Lat."Strigiformes") . We emphasise this from the simple reason that
in the above mentioned text from Sitovo it alludes to the swamp bird which
has to ascend the deceased to rhe big blueness. This motive is clearly
known to archaeology as the votive monument in the shape of an anthropomorphic
figure with a chariot that has swamp birds put to harness where the elements
of the votive monument (humanlike figures, chariot and ducks) are decorated
with many planetary signs of the sun as well as the most representative
votive chariot could be considered (recommended) the one from Duplyaya
at Vrshats (21.9 cm long and 13.4 cm high) In other words the one from
the archeological site "Grad" at Bela Tsrkva which is kept in the Peoples
museum in Belgrade and which is dated from the late bronze age that is
from the first half of the II millennium B.C. which of course gives another
perspective to the dating of the inscription from Sitovo at Plovdiv.
