In Kostolac, Serbia, archaeologists uncovered a 2,000 year-old burial site that came complete with entombed skeletons and amulets containing scrolls inscribed with what appear to be Aramaic spells. The site was found under a coal-fired power station that was built over an ancient Roman city.
“We read the names of a few demons,” said archaeologist Ilija Dankovic. The amulets are said to resemble “binding magic” that were often love charms. But they were also “dark, malignant curses to the tune of ‘may your body turn dead, as cold and heavy as this lead’” which, in spite of its stellar rhyme, is definitely the sort of thing that results in sudden thunderclaps and crows scattering overhead.

Aramaic spells? Semites in the Balkans?

Did they survive the discovery?

Did they survive the discovery? The spells must've been outdated

It's quite interesting. The things about the demons can be possible. Dead Sea Scrolls told us that such views on demons were shared about most of Aramic societies. It can be brand by missionaries of religions. We can remember that Paul wrote in Book of Acts (17:21; NKJV) "For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing". It seems Athenians are not the only who has been visited by missionaries.
