History
The Trypillian culture reached its peak between 5500 and 2750 BC, located between the Carpathians and the Dnieper.
The worldview of the Trypillians is permeated with a desire for creativity, the arrangement of the surrounding space using the universal symbolism of the cycle of the Universe (concentric circles in the ornamentation of plates, circular planning of settlements).
We see the idea of the sacred center of this cycle in the planning of the settlement with an obligatory square in the middle, around which the whole life of its inhabitants revolves.
