Art of Middle Ages.








Forgotten stories of Porussia.

Today in Kaliningrad region, in Ushakovo village, where Brandenburg Castle is situated, took place historical festival "Forgotten Stories of Porussia". There were historical reenactment, folk music, costumes, interesting things for sale,  theatrical performance, food... 

I have managed to take a picture of this guy with bagpipes. Unfortunately, he was leaving so I didn't take a picture when he played. 

Strange guests had appeared before thetrical performance began...

Learn Gaulish!

Just have found some Gaulish phrases, that were on different things taken from  archeologic excavations.
This ancient dead language now is represented only by several dozen words and some phrases. And a few songs by my favorite Eluveitie band!
Here are they:

tavrina vimpi
“Taurina (is) pretty”
tiono vimpi morvcin
“Divine pretty girl”
moni gnatha gabi buddutton imon
“Come, girl, take my kiss”
geneta vis cara
“Dear girl, do you want to?”
geneta marcosior maternia
“I want to ride Maternia”
nata vimpi pota vi (nvm)
“Pretty girl, drink wine!”
nata vimpi cvrmi da
“Pretty girl, bring beer!”

Pay attention to word  "vi (nvm)" - it's a Latin "vinum"! It's interesting, isn't it?
