The story of the tie - the cravat

TIE - KRAVATA - CROATA
This time I offer you a unique story, the story of the tie.
Did you know that the tie, a universal symbol of sophistication and culture, originates from the Croats?

As a fashion accessory, the Croats spread it throughout Europe in the 17th century. At the beginning, the Croatian soldiers wore a scarf round the neck. The scarf was named after them - the cravat (the tie) - and it was their recognizable trait. Therefore, in the year of 1667 a separate regiment was formed. It…

Nikola Tesla

Something Truly Mysterious is going on....
Following numerical clues like breadcrumbs left by our ancestors, we are beginning to see a grand pattern that incorporates frequency, geometry, mathematics, time and space. There are just too many coincidences to ignore, challenging us to open our eyes and minds and truly see.
Do you notice that? Or you are still blind!
Nikola Tesla is Croat, born in Smiljan (Croatia) but everywhere writes that he is Serbian. No, he was Yugoslavian, but after the disin…

OK! I will not take it personally! Who I'm to judge! But for me and in dictionary citizenship = nationality!

Citizenship is not equal to nationality and I have friends to prove it :D Moreover, you're paradoxically discussing it on this site.
Born in Croatia, studied in Austria and Czech Republic, got his first job in Hungary, then France and the US. Actually, spent 2/3 of his life outside the country he was born in. The former Yugoslav government was giving him a small pension... and as far as I know, he called himself a cosmopolitan.
And still, he died all alone and poor in a hotel room in New York. Who's willing to admit that as a national disgrace together with all of his success?

And the fox said to the little Prince - if you tame someone, you're responsible for him for the rest of life. So, who takes the whole package? :P

My home town Rijeka - Croatia

Rijeka, Italian Fiume, English River city, major port andindustrial, commercial, and cultural centre of Croatia, located on the
Kvarner (a gulf of the Adriatic Sea). It is the major port of Croatia. The city

2CELLOS

“…Go and see them live, because it really is astonishing! I can’t remember seeing anything as exciting as them since I saw Jimi Hendrix live back in the 60’s…” Elton John Young Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, known as 2CELLOS, achieved sensational success by taking the cello to a new level and breaking the boundaries between different genres of music. Their unique cello version of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” took the world by storm. Within only a week, this YouTube video…

CROATIA tops CNN's summer food destination list

Look what I found right now on internet. I'm so proud of my country Croatia. I will copy-paste the article so you can read. Thank you! Croatia might just end up being a record holder. The country already is the record holder forworld’s largest truffle. We think Croatia would be a good competitor for “Most Mentions on Best of Lists” too. Croatia has recently topped such lists as …

Welcome Croatia in EU

Today I woke up in the EU. From today 01.07.2013. Croatia is a a full member of EU. And I'm so happy and proud of that!Maybe it will be far easier to employ. I do not know! Maybe it will be better for our children! I hope so...A bunch of people claim that we are not ready for Europe. And maybe they're right. But Europe is certainly not ready for us because of what we can provide it, that Europe certainly never seen!Croats are top masters in the merger holidays and Germans can bring a completely…
