    honestly, this video was brilliant, really enjoyed watching it! However there was a fairly significant time skip between the principalities becoming vassals and the unification. Rulers such as Constantin Brancoveanu(who has a whole architectural style named after him) or Dimitrie Cantemir are historical figures worth mentioning. Also the Fanariot epoch as it was called was a very dark age for the country that can be a source for much of our corruption today ngl. During that period the thrones of the nation were literally held up for auction and every leader's goal was to find the most effective way to exploit the country and get back their money during their short reign. It's also worth mentioning how the nation was significantly orientalized. The story of the 1821 uprising is very interesting and tudor vladimirescu and his panduri are definetely worth talking about. This may be a bit nitpicky though, but I feel these 2 centuries were glossed over. Anyhow, felicitari ! ai facut un video foarte reusit, frumos si entertaining ! bafta in continuare, ai castigat un abonat nou !

Although, you’d never tell by looking at me. I think that’s what’s interesting about that area, as you brought up in Romania, it was run through by many different groups, as was the Levant. Might be even worth doing one for the Levant as a whole rather than by each country, especially since they’re so new, relatively speaking. Also, Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world - that’s a cool tidbit isn’t it?

The Carpi were sent to Scythia Minor and Pannonia, both of which are pretty far from the origin place of romanians that's thought (dacia aureliana/moesia superior). I looked up the source you gave me but Aurelius Victor only says they were sent to "the same place Aurelian sent them" without saying which one, and Aurelian sent them to Pannonia. I've tried looking for mentions of Carpi in Ammianus's waitings too, and he also says they were sent to Pannonia. I couldn't find anything linking the carpis with moesia (both superior and inferior) outside the fact that they raided it...

    @@nih0nium24 hey man! For sure, my first source regarding the Dacians south of the Danube was the book The Lost Romans by Mircea Davidescu, on page 28 it says "About 50.000 Dacian refugees were transfered south of the Danube during Augustus reign (Strabo, 1924, VII, 3, 10) and an additional 100.000 were settled into Moesia (the northern half of Bulgaria) by Nero (Braund, 1984, pp. 136-137). A Dacian society was starting to form south of the Danube if Roman epigeaphic sources are anything to go by. The Dacians south of the Danube were thus already experiencing Romanization by the late first century AD." Then on page 47 he says "...Dacia was not just handed over to Barbarians, and Aurelian's protective policies strongly suggest he was forced to leave the colonists behind (Husar, 2002, p. 632). (Furthermore) indirect evidence for this is that Aurelian settled the Carpi south of the Danube in 272, and many other barbarian settlements followed (Watson, 1999, p. 157) making it clear that the southern provinces had not been repopulated by Roman colonists from the north." I hope this helps! Also, edit, Scythia Minor is modern day Dobrogea, and is a part of Moesia in most settings. Meanwhile I generally don't actually think the Romanians formed in Dacia Aureliana, and neither do any of my sources, I've found no substantial evidence to say the Romanian identity formed there. I'd argue the most likely place that Romanians were formed is Moesia (just south of the Danube) and Dacia Traiana, just north of the Danube. Likely the Romanians from north of the Danube spoke a more "corrupted" Romanian with more Gothic, Turkic etc influences, but in the end, the Romanian dialect south of the Danube mostly won out, probably due to them being more organized than the rural population of the former Dacia Traiana. But that's just my theory. I'm working on a massive video on the Origin of the Romanians and the Dacian connection. Although I need maybe another month before I can release it! 😁

    That part is also totally off. He probably meant the Fogaras Declaration (Declaratio in Protectionem Cesareo-Regiam), in which the Principal Mihály Apafi and the assembly of Transsylvania declared that from now on they quit the vassalhood of the Ottomans and declared loyalty to the Habsburg Leopold I. Hungary "snatched" nothing, Hungary at the time had no independent foreign policy, it was a province of the Habsburg empire. Then in the Habsburg-Ottoman war (1716-1718) the empire reconquered the Temesköz (I dont know what the Romanians call it), and aimed to retake Belgrade. In the Peace of Pozarevac, the Sultan gave over Belgrade, plus "Little Wallachia" (Oltenia) to the Habsburgs. This treaty made the liberation of Hungary complete from Ottoman rule.

When we speak strictly of Romanian geography that whole region is called the Western Plain, covering the border with Hungary and Serbia.

    missed a few important notes: 1. Emperor Trajan killing spree also meant sending (out of his way) a dacian legion to the damp rock of Britania and they left some marks there, mainly Wales 2. Vlad the Impaler was smeared by the saxon merchants and because they refused to pay the tariffs he went hard on them like the ottoman delegates 3. I think Baba Novac was caught by the huns and boiled in Transylvania 4. The Cuza union was not out of the blue as the Kingdom of Moldavia got scared shtless when the Russian Tzardom just felt like outright annexing half of it. This was a big deal as Walchia, Moldova and for the most time Transylvania as well were used only to client state status. So Moldova went ham on pushing the union. Basically Moldova as being less time under Ottoman influence was the center of romanian culture while Walachia was the martial power. As France was at that time pretty ousted or left from most important colonies, it focused on a beef with the Ottomans and people should know even today that France takes latinity world wide pretty serious so romanians keeping that frame in face of ridiculous adversity was probably awe inspiring to them. 5. How dare you not mention the second best friend international backer of a unified Romanian state: the USA on the frame of manifest destiny. The damp rock empire was always pissy, but in anticipation of the next part, once profit was in sight, they were major backers of developing the oil industry at least.

    I will have to make a correction. It is most probable, on account of linguistic aspects I implore you research yourself (Wikipedia should have you covered with the history of Christianity in Romania), that Romanians were Christians since Saint Andrew, and infarct it was only Orthodoxy that the Bulgarians spread. As such you also have the fact that the Romanian language was not utilized by the Bulgarians in Christianizing the Romanians. All converts quite typically are spoken to in their own language, but in the case of the Romanians, that was not what had happened. It looks like the Vlachs were quite easily persuaded to enter the church of the Bulgarians on account of their already pre-existing Christian faith, which also was the means by which the two ethnic groups mixed and influenced one-another (you have a lot of Slavic groups, not simply Bulgarians, which take greatly from the Romanians, such as the Gorals, the Hutsuls, etc). You have quite a few Proto-Romanian saints such as Dionysius Exiguus and the other Scythian monks beside him, and even Emperor Justinian who was said to have been at the very least from that same sort-of region from which you have "Torna, Torna, Fratre" and otherwise what's hypothesized to be the Aromanian homeland. To that extent he was probably a Daco-Roman / Thraco-Roman (since if you look at the Moesi, they were closer to the Dacians) of peasant origin, and spoke that sort of Latinic dialect. So all this before the Slavs had raided them. It is most probable that the Romanians had a folk-religion, without ecclesiastical institution, like the Alpine peoples which were theoretically Christian, but highly mystical, "heretical" and largely paganistic by orthodox Catholic standards. You can research that but, in essence, Highlanders such as the Romanians seem to have preserved Christianity in that sense. You should read about the dualistic cosmogony of the Romanians with the mythological "Fârtat" and "Nefârtat" divinities. Now their legend seems to resemble that of Perun and Veles of the Slavs, but the apparent Christian overlay to it's pagan root was characteristic of faith among the early Romanians, who most certainly believed in Christ and so on, moreso than the Slavs. The lack of proper ecclesiastical institution before the Slavs is on account of Christianity spreading among the people prior to the Edict of Milan, not trough a significant effort of hierarchical dissemination. Christianity spread from the grassroots up. Check the several artifacts attesting this among the Daco-Romans such as the Biertan Donarium (and as stated prior, also the linguistic artifacts, like the name for God and Church [Dumnezeu - Biserică] which come from Latin, are quite uniquely Christian, and differ from their counterparts. As such they must have come from the developing Vulgar Latin prior to the Aurelian retreat). I doubt that they would have lost Christianity and adopted some Pagan faith foreign to them prior to a re-conversion process taken up by the Slavs of all people. Otherwise, how come the linguistic anomaly?

    Well, there's obvious mistakes in the video, and the part that I see as the biggest mistake is the level of Dacopathy that is deeply ingrained in the minds of my Romanian brother's and sister's. But at all the Dacian parts, the only mistake I could see outside of Dacopathy is that you said Dacian's were formerly called Vlach's as well, which is not true. As the exonym Vlach was exclusively used for Roman's and Celt's, and later for Romance-speakers. Then we go to the Vlachian Empire, which unfortunately you talked more about the Romanian principalities compared to our only and great Empire that existed from 1185-1396. However, the Empire was Vlach Empire and not Bulgarian, nor an union between Vlach's and Bulgarian's. The Asan Dynasty, which was a Vlach dynasty and the one's who founded the Empire used the idea of succession of the old Bulgarian Empire (681-1018) as a claim over their legitimacy over an Imperial rule. That's why Tsar Kaloyan, the greatest medieval Vlach ruler who was also nicknamed "John the Vlach", crowned himself as Emperor of the Vlach's and Bulgarian's in order to legitimise his claim over an Empire, just as Otto the Great of East Francia took over Kingdom of Italy and crowned himself King of Germany and Italy to gain a claim over Imperial title. Otto did so by claim imperial succession of Frankish Empire of Charles the Great and from the Western Roman Empire, the reason he crowned himself Emperor of the Roman's. However, Kaloyan had no legitimacy over his throne nor a crown from the Papacy. Thus, Kaloyan claimed lineal descent from the Emperors of the old Bulgarian Empire. However, Kaloyan also recognised to the pope his Roman ancestry. Thus, the Empire was never Bulgarian but Vlach, the dynasty was Vlach and the revolt of 1185 was purely Vlach as the only source on the revolt is Niketas Choniates (liv. 1155-1217), and tells us that the leaders of the revolt were the Vlach's. The Empire of Asan was multiple times referred as _Vlachia_ by writer's such as Geoffroi de Villehardouin, Henri de Valenciennes, Robert de Clari, Ansbert, Henry of Flanders, Snorri Sturluson, William of Rubruck and even Arabic writers

He wrote because of the Vlach revolt of Thessaly in 1066, which got his father in law, Nikoulitzas Delphinas blinded and thrown behind bars in Constantinople. It shows that Kekaumenos made this reference for his agenda, and used the Dacians due to the history between them and the Romans (which later in the view of the Byzantines were them). However we must also point his historical inaccuracies, such as Dekabalos being King of Dacians and Bessi while making the reference that the Vlach homeland was between the Danune and Sava river in modern day Serbia. Thus he confused Dacia Traiana with Dacia Avreliana. But what I like his reference of us being descendant of both Bessi and Dacians, who were two different tribes geographically separated by the danube and Carphatian mountains. Although, Bessi was also a name continually used to denote all of Thrace and Moesia. Thus, I believe he used it as a reference of the Vlachs originating from Moesia, which includes the Inferior and Superior parts the latter being where he described being our homeland ironically Timok Romanians still lives there.

Thr truth is, we barely have anything left from the Dacians to prove any connection, not to mention that almost all tribes were wiped out by Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Divi Nervae filius Augustus Optimus Princeps. The Byzantine writers had the fashion to call 'modern people' by ancient groups. They called Hungarians as Sarmatians and Huns, they referred to the Slavs as Tauroschyts and Coumans as Scythians. This trend preceeded the Byzantines and was in use even after them by different writers of whom also referred to us as "Dacians" and that's because we live in their former lands. Same reason of Catherine the Great. And there is no "Dacians-Romanian continuity theory". What you might mean is "Daco-Roman continuity theory" which name means "Romans of the former Dacian lands". This continuity theory argues whether the Romanians are descendants of the Romans of Dacia Traiana, thus a continuity theory after Romes withdrawal from 271 AD.

    I must say, this video is pretty informative and so far afcurate. However my problem stems with the Second Bulgarian Empire. While it is true that the Asen Dynasty were Vlachs, they quickly adopted a Bulgarian identity and the language, while also the practice of calling themselves rulers of Bulgarians and Vlachs ended with Tsar Kaloyan who viewed King of The Vlachs as a secondary title as it was quite common to have a lot of titles back then. Example: Several Bulgarian Tsars also claimed to be Tsars of Bulgarians and Greeks. Also tbf, it wasn't overtime that the Bulgarian element overtook the Vlach but pretty much almost since the start. And while some did call it "Vlachia", the rulers mainly called it Bulgaria and mainly sooke Bulgarian while also most sources called it Bulgaria. Also tbf, it is most likely that Wallachia also started moreso as a Bulgarian autonomous vassal state or atleast became one as Bulgaria owned it as late as the 1300's as they got it back from the Mongols awhile ago by then. For example, Wallachia was part of Bulgaria during Tsar Ivan Alexander.

    The Cyrillic script wasn't used for writing in Romanian up until the 16th century, when we have the first written Romanian text using a Slavonic orthography and most certainly an ad-hoc implementation of a script the people hadn't written Romanian with. All the texts up to that point had been in Slavonic. The Bulgarians didn't convert the people in their own language and made no effort of speaking to them in Romanian. I left another comment explaining the religious history up to that point, and how the Bulgarians uniquely did not need to speak the language of the people in order to spread Orthodoxy, on account of the already Christianized Romanians which they encountered. Romanian then swiftly became the language of the peasant and the inferior, and was not used in Church or Chancellery up until most favorably the 16th, but also 17th and 18th centuries (due to opposition from the clergy). Please check the Wikipedia article on "Româna liturgică" in Romanian, if you know how to read the language. The local rite was the Hispano-Gallican rite prior to Byzantine conversion, that also enforced Slavonic. Dosoftei writes in the 17th century that "He which speaketh in a tongue (not understood by the people) walls himself off: but he that telleth in a tongue walls off the whole Church." In that period, great efforts at speaking to the people in their language had begun within the Church, first with the Protestants which were the first to translate fragments of the Bible in Romanian, and then with Latin becoming moreso seen as a language of the elite and this association bringing Romanian out of it's previous condemnation as a peasant's tongue (during the reign of Cantemir and Brâncoveanu)

Two noble houses that competed (and fought) for the throne. Vallachia was full of poor disbanded fighters from previous figths, that had nothing to do, a breeding ground for banditry. Vlad decided to weed out the roots of the rampant banditry by getting rid of those useless wanderers, leaving conscience objections aside. After all, he was a ruler, not a monk. :)

Dacia of Decebalus had between 800.000 to 1.200.000 inhabitants. several tens of thousands were enslaved and thousands among the elites were k1ll3d. the Dacian spirit weakened and with the arrival of the colonists the Latin language gained a foothold in the area. due to its status it will continually spread throught the passes and roads and by the end of the 5th century whatever Dacian dialect there will be will be nearly extinct.(there was also Arian priest Ulfilas and his Gothic gospel. maybe he looked at the Dacian language remnants as well) 3. Galerius, Licinius AND MAZIMINUS DAZA. you forgot this one 4. Constantine will reconquer parts of Banat, Oltenia and Muntenia and rebuilt bridges for better commerce with the Goths and Daco-Romans. it would be abandoned by his son Constans(which "d1ed because he was too gae") 5. i wished for more chronicle references(which i forgot myself but i remember there being more. remember Ramunc being present at Attila's wedding? or... you know, maybe not too much "it was always about vlachs in the south". they were not as strict on Moesia and Tribalia-Ripensis. i had some documents in google drive at one point...) 6. during the time of Mauricius, general Priscus writes that "there are quite many Latins north of the Danube, however crowded by the slavic migrants" in his campaigns in Wallachia. 7. more details on the nomadic rules. Gothic, Hunnic, Gepidic, Bulgar, Magyar, Pecheneg, Cuman. how they garrisoned, which were their prefered settlements, the industries(salt mines-Bulgars, gold mines-Magyars), the "standardisation" of Orthodoxy by the Bulgarians(they "leveled up" from the Bulgars, now they have a turkic name, slavic language and thraco-roman blood) 8. the Asen dynasty was originally Latin but they mixed with Cuman and slavo-Bulgars in time. and yes, the Arabs called it al-Walaq. 9. some mention of the magyar speaking szekely border guards in the eastern Carpathians and the German colonists? 10. Transylvania has: blue dark sky with sun and moon(representing the Szekler branch of the Magyars) the Turul bird(legendary Magyar bird) the 7 Saxon fortresses painted yellow the red Austrian imperial strap so for a region that has been majority Romanian since its inception(and even before) in 1111(you gotta love how this year is just a bunch of 1's), on its emblem, the Germans and Magyars appear twice. anyway, i will continue watching the video. maybe i will add other points.

Maybe that's why the Romanian historians and newspaper writers keep quiet about these sensational researches about the origin of the Balkan peoples, in which Romania also participated, because they don't like the result?! Among others, Novinite reported that pioneering DNA research covering Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Serbia, Romania, Albania and Greece led to startling discoveries about the genetic makeup of the Balkan population. It was clearly revealed that the Romanian genome is 50-60% of Slavic origin, similar to its Balkan neighbors, Bulgaria and Croatia, and no Hungarian researchers participated in this comprehensive study! The newspaper added that the research carried out in collaboration with Serbian, Spanish and American scientists highlights the prevalence of Slavic genes in the region, which means that more than half of the Romanian people come from Slavs who migrated from the north, so they could not have had anything to do with the Dacians but with the Romans neither! According to the results reported by the Serbian agency Tanjug, Bulgarians, Romanians and Croatians have the highest concentration of Slavic genes. In contrast, Greeks have the lowest presence of this genetic heritage: it ranges between 4 and 20 percent. Anyway, it has already been shown in other population genetics studies about the Romanians in Transylvania that they are more similar to Hungarians and Austrians genetically, which would justify the theories that from the 18th century onwards, especially in the 20th century, a lot of Hungarians and Germans became Romanians in Transylvania and in the Partium! Because the DNA of the Cumans/Pechenegs and Tatars is also present in the southern Romanians, at least 5%, not to mention the Turks and Gypsies who moved in during the Ottomans, who added at least 10% to the Romanian origin, and then the old Balkan Illyrian and together with the genes of Latin shepherds, the other 30% also comes out!

    Dont rely on a source was written 800 years after the fact. Your quote on the greek Kekaumenos does not really mean anything. Yes dacians were north and south of the danube. By 1075 AD, the Vlachs were under byzentine rule. All vlachs under byzentine rule were forced to be eastern orthadox. Thus romanian eastern orthadox tradition today. Under hungary at the time, eastern orthadox was banned. This was still centuries before Vlachs entered wallacia and transylvania in the 13th century. This means that if the daco roman continuation theory was true and the dacians were in fact living in trasnylvania at the time, Romania would certainly be roman catholic. Also you skipped past hundreds of years in the imbetween period of the formation of romanian states in the 13th century from the Vlach migration north of the danube and the 1st to 3rd century when the dacians were invaded by Rome. After which, they were no longer a state. Do you think a stateless unorganized peoples could live in transylvania for hundreds of years? Transylvania was heavily resource rich and there is no evidence of dacians living there past the 3rd cenutry. Dozens of differant peoples came in and out of the now romania area. None of which were eager to have a orthadoxy people living in their land taking their gold and silver from transylvania. Everything points to the romanians coming stright from the vlachs in the 13th century. And i think that the quote by Kekaumenos is faulty for several reasons. 1. Dacians were a broad group of people. 2. there was differant types of "vlachs" and 3. There is conflicting sources from the same time period. I have seen many sources which describe the Vlachs as living exclusively south of the Danube as migrants moving east. I can knitpick any one of those broad quotes and it would be just as irrelevant.

    Hey sorry, before I finish the script for my Dacian-Romanian continuity video, could you link me the source you mentioned about conflicting primary sources that say the Vlachs exclusively came from South of the Danube? I haven't been able to find them, but I might just be looking in the wrong place. Also same for the source that says Hungary outlawed Eastern Orthodoxy, I cant find anything like that either. It would be a huge help, cheers 😁

    1. Byzantines often falsely linked new ethnic groups with old ones, especially if they fit geographically or culturally. Like mixing Magyars with Bulgars, Turks and Huns, and calling Latin speakers of the ex-Provinces of Dacias (plural, because they renamed Moesia after Rome abandoned Dacia) as Dacians. 2. Aromanian and Romanian split linguistically in the 10th century, so no need to differentiate Vlachs before that. Istroromanians is considered a late split, around the 11-12th century and didn't start in Istria but migrated there. 3. In the Gesta (which is a genre of literature), if Blachi = Vlach, only Gelou was a Vlach ruler, the other two were bulgar/khazar/cuman. Which raises a problem. In the Gesta, which was written in the late 13th century, they try to write about the 9th century when the Hungarian conquest took place. At that time, Cumans didn't even enter Europe (that was the 11-12th cenrury), yet to be in the Carpathian Basin. Not talking about how they found Khazars in the Carpathians when they left them North of the Caucasia. Gelou (Gyalu) and many other figures from the Gesta, mysteriously was never mentioned in other sources (despite those existing), and they died at places that bare their name. Hungarians wouldn't name towns after their enemies, and Gyalu, is a toponym that can be found even outside of Gelou's potential realm. Gyalu is a hungarian word and name with turkic origin. 4. King Bela and Andrew settled Romanians into Transylvania, calling them foreigners. And Wallachia and Moldova even before their creations, gave bufferzones to Hungary, and Magyars even settled those aeras. Sadly only the Csangos remain. 5. Voyk (hungarian/turkic pagan name) di Huniad was Wallachian/Romanian (probably with Cuman roots). But his son Johannus was born in Kolozs (Cluj) as a Hungarian noble who probably didn't even speak Romanian. (Vlad Tepes is also a Romanian with Cuman origin.) 6. Matthias fought the Czechs and Germans to become Holy Emperor, because he realised Hungary and the Romanians is not enough to stop the Ottomans. But he gave the Szeklers to the Romanian Principalities as support units. 7. Principility of Transylvania was a Hungarian state. (Also Haiduc/Hajdúk is a Hungarian word and unit originally.)

    1:33 Vlachs are a completely different entity and peoples, completely unrelated to the Dacians. Vlachs originated as a illyric peoples living in modern day albania and migrated through the years, to south of the danube in then bulgaria until they, in the 13th century conqured turkic and nomadic tribes in wallacia and Moldavia. This was over 1000 years after the dacians were said to have inhabbitted the lands of now romania. There is apsolutely no way that they are connected in any way. Also we know vlachs were defantly orthadox because of the byzentine invasion of bulgaria, where the byzentines forced the vlachs into eastern orthadoxy. Where meanwhile the hungarians banned eastern orthadoxy, where the supposed dacians lived. mind you there is apsolutely no evidence at all they were there in the first place any time past the roman invasion in the 2nd century. So the daco roman continuation theory is basically just complete nonsense by Romanian propaganda and nationalists. Also, just know that latin was only spoken in romania past the late 18th century. 17 centuries AFTER the romans left. The inhabitants of romania used cyrallic. Why? because romanians are slavs, possible descendance of the roman colonists not in dacia, but in Illyria, a place we have actual doccumented evidence of romanization. And just so you know, romania is the only "latin" country that is eastern orthadox.

    This video could be called The Entire Mythology of Romania. 1. Eutropius narrates that the Romans exterminated the Dacians so thoroughly, that they needed to repopulate it with settlers from all over the Empire. The minimal degree of Thracian/Dacian influence in Romanian language and the negligible number of Dacian geographical names also supports this. There were also no civitas communities established by the Romans in Dacia, because there were no local population and leadership available to support this administrative organization. 2. The degree of Roman withdrawal in 271 is debated as you said. But it is a debate between reason and mythology. The Goths have been attacking the province for at least 15 years before, so how likely is it that the civilians have not fled the invasion, especially after the army and the administration left? If it was logistically possible to populate the province with settlers from all over the empire 165 years ago, how come it was impossible to evacuate them to only a couple miles south? It is obvious that the majority of the Roman settlers, who just came 2-3 generations ago to this land, also left at the first opportunity to safety. Eutropius clearly describes this process and narrates that the population was relocated to Dacia Nova, south of the Danube. 3. Whoever remained in the former province, had to live under various types of Germanic influence for about 300 years, followed by Hun/Avar Turkic domination. Yet, the Romanian language completely lacks any kind of Germanic or Turkic influence. The theory first claims that only 165 years of Roman rule was enough to completely switch culture and language from Dacian to Latin, but secondly it claims that 300 years of Germanic and Turkic influence was not enough to have even minimal language influence? How can these two statements be true at the same time? Is there anyone who seriously believes that three centuries of existence in the dark ages is possible without any kind of contact with the rulers of the land? 4. You easily dispatched the problem of the language relatives in the Balkans with "ohh well it is complicated". In fact, it is not complicated at all. It is only complicated if we want to narrate this story within the framework of Dacian continuity. The Romanian language is clearly Latin, so much, that other Romance languages to such deep Latin influence only developed in territories that were under Roman rule for about 500 years. This is the case with Romanian language too. The lack of Germanic and Turkic influence can only be explained if we accept the fact, that the ancient Romanian people lived in a territory that was never under Germanic and Turkic rule for centuries. The strong southern Slavic influence can only guide us further to the solution, which is confirmed by the presence of their language relatives. Their ancient homeland is in the west of the Balkans, from where they migrated northeast over the centuries, and their first mention in the Carpathian basin is in the 12th century. This ancient homeland cannot be further south, because then they would be mostly Greek, not Latin. There was also no Germanic and Turkic rule there, as opposed to further east. I don't understand why it is so important to parrot this mythological story about the right over Transsylvania. Transsylvania is not Romania because of any historical right, but because they populated it for various historical reasons - mainly the Ottoman conquest of Hungary, and the centuries of warfare that decimated the Hungarian population. And of course because Hungary lost WWI and was unable to defend itself afterwards.

    @@CocoSon-zj5oj The American anthropologist Grover Sanders Krantz writes in his book: "The Geographical Development of European Languages" Page 72 "the Hungarian language is the oldest permanent language in Europe", its development can be traced back to the transitional Stone Age (Mesolithic). Krantz's results support Bowring's view of 170 years ago. Here it is: "Including, for example, that the Greek language in its current geographical location dates back to 6500 BC, while the Celtic language in Ireland goes back to 3500 BC. The antiquity of the Hungarian language in Hungary is at least as surprising; I. finds it temporary. Stone Age language, preceded the beginning of the Neolithic period." Or what Rabbi Miksa Drechsler wrote based on his research, I quote from his manuscript: "You Hungarians are the oldest nation among the nations alive today. We Jews know this very well. Even before the exodus, your horsemen appeared in Egypt, and we knew of you that they had existed since ancient times. When the end of the 19th century, after the compromise, the terror of cultural politics could no longer be sustained, the Scythian-Hun trend reappeared in scientific research, and Austrian agents offered a large sum of money to prevent the matter from coming to light. And we took the appropriate steps." Or Dr. Aczél József, who proved that the Scythian peoples of Hungarian origin, honored as the cradle of European culture, maintain a close relationship with the pre-Hellenic and ancient Greek languages, based on grammatical and vocabulary similarities! Or Varga Csaba a native language researcher who proves the Hungarian origin of the ancient Greek language with numerous word parallels. And I could list Magyar Adorján, Hóman Bálint, John Dayton, Marija Gimbutas, Michelangelo Naddeo, Mario Alinei and Dr. Révész Péter an American ancient language researcher and many others who came to the same conclusion!

    The myth of the Daco-Roman people and Daco-Roman continuity has long been dismantled with real data from the historical sciences, so the Romanians they make fools of themselves with this absolutely unfounded theories! That is why Romanian historians and politicians are profoundly silent about the serious genetic research that has recently been published in scientific journals, in which a pioneering research on the origin of DNA covering Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Serbia, Romania, Albania and Greece about the structure genetics of the Balkan population! Because Romania also took part in this research, but they did not expect this result, that it was clearly revealed that Romanians are 50-60% of Slavic origin, moreover, they come from the Slavs, for whom there is accurate data that only from the 7th century they began to migrate from north to south! That is why all those Romanian linguists were silenced from the 19th century onwards, who said that the Romanian language was at least 40% Slavic in origin, and since then several Latinizing language reforms have been carried out since Cuza's time! The professor and archaeologist specialist in ancient history Visy Zsolt says in an interview that he studied all the real documents about the Dacians for many years, but he also participated in many archaeological excavations where Dacian settlements were found, and he came to the conclusion that these settlements did not have had a long continuity nowhere after the Roman conquest! The professor says that there are contemporary descriptions showing that most of the Dacians were slaughtered by the Romans, especially the men, and those who remained were sold as slaves. But there is no data at all about a Romanized population, especially since in this province occupied with many wars, the Romans brought populations from all parts of the empire, among which very few were original Roman citizens from Italy! The professor also says, but many people wrote about it even before that, that nowhere in the world could the Romans Romanize a people by force in just 160 years! After all, if we don't consider the Jews and the Greeks, who were under the Latin-speaking Roman rule for almost five hundred years, but even among the Gauls and other Celtic tribes, this process took more than five hundred years and they never fully Latinized! He says that especially after the withdrawal of the Romans from the province of Dacia in the north of the Danube, neither the Dacian elements nor the Roman elements can be found anywhere, not even in the parts not occupied by the Romans, which means that the Dacians as a population with a specific culture in the settlements, they completely disappeared in these 160 years, but the Roman population also left here! No matter how much some Romanian archeologists searched, especially during Ceausescu's time, the truth is that they did not find anything concrete and then they started to issue some absolutely unfounded theories! In the historical sciences, you have to have more concrete data to prove something, especially if we are talking about the presence of an entire population in a territory! We need contemporary sources, that is, primary sources, which attest to the presence of a population, and then if archaeological evidence and possibly toponymic data from the same life are also found, then we can say that that population lived there in those centuries! But no matter how much it hurts the Romanians, there is no data about the Latinized Dacians, not even from lower Moesia and Illyria, nor are there any archaeological data, because what 99% of Romanians don't know is that the Dacians had a very distinct culture, which for example differed from the Getae and from the Thracians too! The problem is that there are no short texts of the Daco-Romanians in the language if or in Latin at least. At least from the Middle Ages if there was any text in the Dacian language or some references to the Daco-Romans, but there is neither one nor the other! Anyway, no one with serious knowledge of history believes that the descendants of the Dacians would have fallen so far to completely forget the language and writing of their ancestors in just 160 years! Or that the descendants of the Dacians or the Romanians completely forgot to at least build houses and churches out of stone! Not to mention cities, fortresses, castles and palaces, or tombs carved out of stone, or reliefs and statues, statuary monuments, cobbled roads and aqueducts! All of this is completely missing, and not even a thousand years later in the Middle Ages did the Romanians build such monuments! Nestor's chronicle proves absolutely nothing about the presence of Romanians in Transylvania, especially because Nestor lived in the 12th century, and he probably wrote this chronicle towards the end of his life, after 1110, so the chronicle was written over two centuries after those 9th century events! This is exactly the problem with the chronicle of Anonymus who wrote his chronicle after three centuries and not about the Vlachs but about the Karluk Blaks, because in those centuries many stories were born, especially because there are no established historians to study the real data from the archives to analyze and filter them properly! Not to mention that in the Middle Ages there are no auxiliary sciences of history, which are all the sciences that study documentary sources and develop their research methodology! However we take it, to demonstrate the presence of a population on a territory, in the historical sciences you need primary sources first of all, at least two primary sources and preferably from different sources! But primary sources do not exist at all about Wallachians from the 9th century, because the first data about a Wallachian population appear only in the 10th century, and they are all mentioned well south of the Danube in the Balkans!

    ​​​​​​@@thieph I have to mention some basic things about the Romanians. They do not use the word silva, which means forest in latin. Instead of this word they use pădure. The expression Transylvania can not come from the vulgar latin, that the romanians speak, because this means beyond the forest and in romanian it sounds like dincolo de pădure. It is so simple. And there is another thing. The name of the Danube. It is in romanian Dunarea, but the latin version of this name is Danubius. It also proves the romanians got this word from other nations, maybe from the slaves or from the cumans. And back to the problem of the name of Transylvania. This name appears first in hungarian chronicles, and not romanians and this name is just a simple translation of the expresson of the original hungarian one. It sounds like Erdély. It comes from the old hungarian word Erdőelve. You can also find similar expressions in the modern hungarian historical works, for example the hungarian name of Wallachia. It is in hungarian Havasalföld and in old hungarian Havaselve. And this part of the word, ELVE means a plain or an area beyond something. In this case the prefix Havas refers to the mountains of the Carpathians. If you think about it logically, they make a lot more sense. This is about history and not against the romanians but why should we listen the romanian inabilities.

    Yes, he was called Oláh János, but his father's name was Vajk, which is an ancient Hungarian name. His grandfather was Serba, potentially a Slavic name. His ancestors were noblemen from Wallachia. Could have been Vlach, southern Slavic, or Cumanian ancestry, nobody could really tell. Ethnicity at that time was less important, this debate is only heated because it is part of the Romanian narrative that Hungarians just happened to be there as a pest for 1100 years, but everything great and glorious was achieved by the original inhabitants of the land, the Daco-Romanians. At that time even the word Romanian did not exist, let alone as a separate national identity. He probably identified himself as a Catholic Christian noble in the service of the king of Hungary, and maybe of Wallachian ancestry (but not Romanian for sure). He had no possessions outside Hungary but he was the greatest landowner in the kingdom. His son didn't speak Romanian according to written sources.
