Compelling studies suggest that many of these […] There are literally thousands of different goddesses in world mythology, but perhaps the oldest is the fertility goddess. Hundreds of female effigies (known as the Venus figurines) can be found scattered around Europe and parts of Asia, dating from 35,000 BCE to 16,000 BCE (see images 1 – 7). But with no written text […] Around the world there exist a number of undeciphered texts that date back as far as the Neolithic (8000 BCE).

The images on […] The Slavs worshiped a wide range of deities, from the shores of the Baltic to the shores of the White Sea.
