Planina Avala : srednjovekovni utvrđeni grad Žrnov, zvan i Žrnovan, branik Beograda

Zašto je kralj Aleksandar I Karađorđević tako lako žrtvovao Žrnov ?

Zašto su kralju smetali ostaci grada koji Evlija Čelebija pominje kao jedno od šest najznačajnijih utvrđenja u Srbiji, a arheolozi tvrde da su se ljudi na ovom lokalitetu bavili rudarstvom još pre 4.000 godina? 
Drugi narodi poštuju svoju istoriju i srednjovekovne gradove cuvaju kao velike svetinje.
Odgovora nema i ta misterija nikad nije razjašnjena. 


ŽRNOV ili ŽRNOVAN -SREDNJEVEKOVNI UTVRĐENO GRAD NA VRHU AVALE

Žrnov ili Žrnovan je bio srednjovjekovna tvrđava smeštena na najvišem vrhu Avale (511m nmv.).
Prisustvo Kelta na Avali je dokazano, pretpostavlja se da je na vrhu postojalo utvrđenje na čijim su osnovama kasnije Rimljani podigli osmatračnicu.
Bio je to, zapravo, višenamenski punkt. Za kontrolu puta, kontrolu prilaza Singidunumu i zaštitu rudnika koji su se nalazili na obroncima planine.
Kasnije su Srbi tu sazidali tvrđavu, koju su potom Osmanlije proširile i ojačale za potrebe napada na Beograd.

Nema dokaza da li je grad živeo u doba Vizantije, ali je gotovo sigurno da je prvo pravo utvrđenje podignuto u vreme despota Stefana Lazarevića.

Teško je u bilo čemu biti izričit, jer, nažalost, Avala nije dovoljno istražena.Čuveni putopisac Feliks Kanic zabeležio je da je na vrhu planine bila rimska osmatračnica na čijim su temeljima srpski carevi podigli Žrnov. Kad i koji vladari, nigde nije zapisano.

Najčešća verzija kako je grad dobio ime jeste po žrvnju, ali ne običnom, već za meljavu rude iz rudnika koji su postojali u podnožju.
 Avala je pre turskog imena nosila naziv Žrnov.

 Pogled na dobro očuvani stari grad
 U gradu je prema legendi stolovao, u pjesmama opevani, Porča od Avale.

Srpske epske narodne pesme: Porča od Avale i Zmajognjeni Vuk - gusle


Porča od Avale Zmajognjeni Vuk

Vino piju do dva pobratima
U Avali više Bijograda:
Jedno bješe Porča od Avale,
A drugo je Đerzelez Alija;

Srebrenica and the historical context of the Yugoslav civil war

Serbs, according to the average google user

Couple of days ago those of us who follow the situation in Libya closely, were anxiously watching 108morris108 you tube chanel, an anti-imperialistic chanel that usually shows an alternative narrative about Libyan, Syrian and other ongoing conflicts through short interviews with people there. As you may or may not know, Bani Walid, a hometown of the Libya's biggest tribe Warfalla, is under siege by the neocolonial puppet "government" forces, but mostly by the enraged Misrata militias. Morris was inteviewing a young Libyan doctor who was appealing for help and siezefire and pointing out the shortages in Bani Walid's only hospital, the number of wounded and dead. At some point, the doctor warned that if this situation was to continue "Misrata will do Srebrenica to Bani Walid". This was probably said to in order to inspire some reaction in the people from the West who's only knowledge of Srebrenica was what they were informed by the mass media during the Yugoslav civil war, hence linking the word "genocide" with Srebrenica.
