Опис Срба кроз миленијуме

Opis Srba kroz milenijume:

* Rig Veda – ancient religious Sanskrit text (3000-1500 b.c.)in book VIII., 32., 2.:

„2 Strong God, he slew Anarsani, Srbinda, Pipru, and the fiend, Ahisuva, and loosed the floods.” From all the European peoples the Serbs are the only race from the construction of the wording of their name, according to the Austrian sanskritologist Walter Wust who are composed in the Vedic hymns as the characteristic SRBINDA, in which almost letter to letter is identical to the modern form SRBENDA used by Balkan Serbs.

In the Vedic manuscripts, Wust interprets, SRBINDA as its own original to say patented name with a predetermined meaning. Which is in complete harmony to thinking of today’s SRBENDA expression in Serbs, because Srbenda is always the best, the most respected, most brave, the greatest for respecting tradition: in short a man who is used and shown as an example to others.

* Herodotus (11,6) (5th century BC), and Diodor from Sicily (1,30) mention the lake named Serbonis (Σερβυνιδοζ) in lower Egypt. However taking the large distances into the account it is highly unlikely that today’s Serbs have anything to do with that particular toponym.

* Strabo (63 – 19 BC): „the river Kanthos/Skamandros is called Sirbis (Sirbika) by the natives.” ( Strabonis rerum geographicarum libri septendicini, Basileza 1571 s. 763).

* Tacitus (ca. 50 AD): described the Serboi tribe near the Caucasus, close to the hinterland into the Black Sea. Many consider this theory as a very probable one taking some distant linguistic similarities with today’s Caucausus people’s such as Ingushi, Chechens etc.

* Pliny (69-75 AD): „beside the Cimerians live Meotics, Valians, Serbs (Serboi), Zingians, Psesians.” (Historia naturalis, VI, c. 7 & 19 Leipzig 1975). It coincides with the Tacitus’s view on Serbian ancient homeland among the Iranian peoples of the Caucasus.

* Ptolemy (150 AD): „between the Keraunian mountains and the river Pa, live the Orineians, Valians and Serbs.” (Geographia V, s. 9). Ptolemy also mention the city in Pannonia named Serbinum (present day GradiÅ¡ka in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina). This well known ancient scientist one more time points out to the Caucasus placing Serbs close to Black Sea riviera.

* In the third century Roman emperor Licinius referred to the Carpathians as ‘Montes Serrorum’ („Serb mountains”). This also sounds reasonable taking that South Carpathians end in Eastern Serbia, colliding with the Balkan Mountains.
