Pokončni stebri so tudi del mitične pokrajine starih Slovanov. Na dejstvo, da je bil tak steber uporabljen kot gnomon, je mogoče sklepati iz obstoja učinkov njegovega delovanja, ki jih najdemo v ...pokrajini: smeri neba, datumsko pomembni azimuti sončnega vzhoda in sončnega zahoda, kot, ki ustreza nagibu ekliptike. Domnevni krožni argument, da trikotniki definirajo kot in isti kot definira iste trikotnike, je Bilićev konstrukt in je matematično nemogoč, saj trikotnika ne moremo definirati samo z enim kotom. A tudi če so astronomsko znanje starih Slovanov res utemeljevali v sedanjosti s povsem krožnim dokazom (kar pa niso), to še ne pomeni, da stari Slovani niso imeli astronomskega znanja.
The article presents the juridical-cult structures that existed at the Bavarian cemetery of Altenerding near Munich during the second half of the 5th century and the first half of the 6th century. ...The direction of the sunset and sunrise during the solstices set the main course of orientation at the cemetery. The ritual angle of natural equilibrium was also set by this course. The central cult and juridical locality of the former Westergau was also at this cemetery. Old Gallic-Roman measuring units were applied to aid in the process of organization of space. Furthermore, the influence of Pythagorean symbolism is also evident.
There are different reasons for the fact that there had been no serious effort to withstand the Christianization of southern Slavs. One of them was the fact that in the period of their meeting both ...ideological systems were relatively compatible, and a division of interest was still possible. Both Christianity and paganism relatively quickly found a way to co-exist among southern Slavs, and have remained intertwined to this day.
The belief that only written records of ancient Greek science are relevant to our knowledge of past science and that there is nothing outside of that knowledge that is not contained in written ...sources is misleading. The ancient Slavs were able to develop their knowledge of mathematics and astronomy independently of ancient Greek science. Neglecting the knowledge of the ancient Slavs in comparing it with that of the ancient Greeks is misguided and cannot lead to useful findings.
