About the author

Marija (Alseikaite) Gimbutas (Lithuanian: Marija Gimbutienė), was a Lithuanian-American archeologist known for her research into the Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures of "Old Europe", a term she introduced. Her works published between 1946 and 1971 introduced new views by combining traditional spadework with linguistics and mythological interpretation, but earned a mixed reception by other professionals.

Should it be noted that here, as elsewhere, superstitions and pagan customs are observed in front of bushes, poles, roofed poles, crosses and chapels, the authorities are requested to demolish them immediately, in order that these be removed from the sight and hearts of the poor blinded people.
