[QUOTE]Originally posted by A Simple Girl: [QB] [QUOTE] Trypillians built comfortable two-storied houses. They lived on the upper floor, the ground floor was used in household aims. Several clay models of Trypillian houses and temples have been found, which help to reconstruct (reproduce) ancient architecture. An interesting collection of clay temples has been collected by Sergej Platonov of late. Literally, these finds corrected our notion about prehistoric architecture of Old Europe between 4200-3500 BC. One of them represented rectangular in plan building on platform, based on six strong pillars. The roof of the temple is semicircular, frontons are decorated with a crescent, which is similar to bull (or cow?) horns. The entrance to the temple is represented as an arc, decorated with five images of crescents. The walls are decorated with antropomorphous pillars and spiral snake symbols. The model was covered by red paint, and an incised ornament was enchased with white paint. On other models roofs were painted, it looks like they were covered by rush floor-mates An attempt to find analogies to such temples has given unexpected data. At the times of Trypillia culture the nearest region with similar rush-temples was located at Southern Mesopotamia. The remains of such houses were explored at El'Ubaid and have been known on the seals since the Uruk period (3900-3100BC). This temples are related with Nintur, incarnation of Ninkhursag, one of the most powerful goddesses of Sumer. In Southern Iraq such houses exist at present time. It is an interesting question, how and where Trypillians acquainted with the traditions of Sumer, their temples and deities... [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
