Nine thousand years of Pelasgian history, which is still visible today, touched, lived and must be written. Which is older, the Ulcinj Shasi of 365 churches or the Matera Shasi in Puglia, Italy? Something big is hidden here. Here history is very unfaithful to us.
The Shasi in Matera is the only place in the world where people can live and live in the same place where their predecessors lived 9 thousand years ago. (Matera is the only place in the world where people can boast of still being in the same houses as their ancestors from 9,000 years ago.)
The houses in Shasi are in caves carved over millennia into the limestone rocks, which the locals call “tuff”, i.e. volcanic tufa. In some parts of Shasi, the streets are above the houses. The old town is built on a high bank, next to a large river that is now a ravine. Shasi belongs to the type of prehistoric triglodic settlements which are thought to be the first human settlements, such as this one over 9,000 years old BC.
Here they lived in about 1,500 caves. Interesting with the writing of history when the records are lost even on purpose, for Shasi, forgotten until a few years ago, it is said that it was built by the Romans in the third century BC. Nothing more. Every reading of these explanations makes me angry, precisely because history is deliberately hidden.
