Transylvania - Romanians' territory for 15,000 years

Transylvania has been first part of Dacia - the kingdom of today's Romanians, then was invaded by the Roman Empire and then by Attila - the ruler of the Huns, today's Hungarians.In contrast to the heterogeneity of the preceding ages, the first Iron Age is remarkable for its homogeneity, which is the result of the emergence and generalization of a new culture displaying black ceramics ornamented with grooves. This cultural homogenization in the First Iron Age represents essentially the material proof of the constitution within the Carpathian Danubian space of the early Geto-Dacians, who are culturally distinguishable from the southern Thracians and the other neighboring peoples. We are told this by the father of history himself-Herodotus. Recounting the Persian king Darius' expedition to the mouth of the Danube in 514 BC he mentions the Getae, praising them for their value.Over 600 sites are known so far across the territory of Transylvania from the First Iron Age. Most sites were occupied during all stages of this epoch. Twenty-six fortifications, some inhabited permanently, others used for refuge and defense in times of peril, are among the more remarkable.During the following centuries the Geto-Dacians would attain a level of development that would lead them to form a state.

Enjoyable documentary with an enjoyable couple

For an amateur production this is very well done.Cinematography and camera work are excellent including spectacular drone footage of stunning scenery. The couple is enjoyable to watch and their enthusiasm comes through. They are knowledgeable and naturally adventurous but also relatable.Audio can be a challenge occasionally as the narration is sometimes lost in background noise but it is a small complaint. Would gladly see their other offerings.
