The beginning of ore exploitation and processing in prehistory, particularly in the Vučedol culture, significantly impacted the economy, society, and religious beliefs. Metallurgy, considered one of the most important technological discoveries, enabled the creation of durable and valuable objects that became symbols of power and prestige within the community. The emergence of copper and gold likely transformed the perception of these materials, endowing them with spiritual significance. The Vučedol people turned to the worship of celestial deities, viewing metallurgy as a divine gift, with ore materials considered sacred. Additionally, beliefs and ritual practices were deeply intertwined with natural phenomena, and the symbolism of animals pointed to the importance of deities in their daily lives. Thus, metallurgy, through its material aspects, shaped the spiritual world of the Vučedol people, highlighting the connection between technology and religion.
