Description On a hill near Sarajevo stand 500 medieval tombstones inscribed with enigmatic symbols and mysterious texts. These monuments to the faithful of a long forgotten sect have outlasted centuries of social and religious upheaval. Through the musings of Mak Dizdar the sleepers under the stones are heard after centuries silence, their words transcend individual beliefs to speak of a universal balance between good and evil, of live and let live.
