Neolithic Serbobabes

While waiting for better news in the future, let’s hear some from the past:

In the Neolithic settlement in a valley nestled between rivers, mountains and forests in what is now southern Serbia, men rushed around a smoking furnace melting metal for tools. An ox pulled a load of ore, passing by an art workshop and a group of young women in short skirts.

“According to the figurines we found, young women were beautifully dressed, like today’s girls in short tops and mini skirts, and wore bracelets around their arms,” said archaeologist Julka Kuzmanovic-Cvetkovic.

Serbian women will apparently become a reoccuring theme at the blog, much like turbo folk, so there’s no point in fighting it I guess.
Naturally, some questions will emerge in relation to the quoted article. For instance, does this way of attracting men apply to prehistoric Serbian women only? What about German neolithic women, for example, did they use miniskirts as well, or some other unconventional weapon?

And does this mean that we, as a prehistoric Serbian nation, were very advanced, or that we as a contemporary Serbians did not progress all that much?

Thanks Eniac for sending the story!

   Actually, at that time we were backward since Greek chicks were naked.
   As for today, I think we are just becoming postmodernists.

   Now I can picture the first segment of the Eurovision opening act.
