THE WORKERS WERE RENOVATING THE HOUSE, and they found mysterious books in ARABIC language (PHOTO)

- Books were put there either because of superstition, because even today some people put some things in the walls, or the books were valuable and they had to be hidden - said Sadmir Mustafić

In the walls of a house in the town of Trebinje, the workers found books in Arabic language but the date and the content are yet to be determined.

The workers who were working on the house discovered them, reports Moja Hercegovina news agency.

Dejan Bošnjak, who is making a restaurant there, took the books and gave them to the imam Sadmir Mustafić.

It is still early to talk about the origin and the content of the books because they first have to be sent to be preserved.

The imam said that he cannot claim why the books were in the wall, but he thinks there are two options.

- Books were put there either because of superstition, because even today some people put some things in the walls, or the books were valuable and they had to be hidden - said Sadmir Mustafić.

He confirmed that two out of five books are hand-written Quran, the Muslim sacred book, but he was not sure about the other three.

- Those are some manuals with the notes, but we could not guess the age - said he.
