In trying to answer the map question, it might be a good idea to stat with some Dacian history. Presumably, after Trajan conquered Dacia, the men were massacred or enslaved and the Dacian state including its capital, Sarmizegetusa, obliterated then rebuilt in Roman fashion.

I am repeatedly getting inquiries from people who are upset that this blog isn't solely about Zamolxis, as its name might suggest to them. This shouldn't be difficult.

Exista multi oameni care-i urasc pe masoni si (franc)masoneria. Daca-i intrebi de ce, nu prea stiu sa-ti spuna, dar dupa o conversatie mai mult sau mai putin indelungata, reiese ca-i din cauza ca nu stiu multe despre ei.

Although I have written briefly about progressive rock, I shied away thus far from Romanian progressive rock. That's rather odd, considering that the apogee of that genre in Romania is universally considered to be the eponymous Zalmoxe by Sfinx, released (more like “censored”) in 1978.

As I’ve been getting closer to a long-planned trip to Europe, I had to face the prospect of more hostility and less-than-enlightened assumptions related to my ancestry. I am quite tired of going through that and have been preparing to start answering the question “where are you from” with “Dacia” – and will be doing so starting tomorrow. With this article, I will answer the follow-up “isn’t Dacia a car?” or “what is that?” or “where is that?” with “look it up!”

We finally get to present and hopefully elucidate our argument.

I just got a press release about a new Dacian-themed movie. I wish I could tell you more, but unfortunately have yet to watch this movie.

It has recently come to my attention that today is St Andrew's day and also Scotland National Day. Tomorrow is Romania's. Or, since it’s unlikely I’ll finish this article and publish it today, subtract one day from all the temporal adverbs above. We will also learn here who put the ‘X’ in XXX.

Am adus aminte de bancul cu daramaru de mai multe ori, poate si fiindca e una din putinele glume de pe vremea Odiosului pe care mi le amintesc. Imi amintesc si de starea deplorabila in care se afla ruinele Sarmizegetusei. Si recent, gluma indoielnica ce tine de ani de zile - cum ca poate intr-o zi se va apuca cineva sa le transforme intr-un monument - a luat o intorsatura tragica.

ATENTIE! Aceasta este versiunea veche a FAQ-ului - cea noua in pagina.
A venit momentul sa astern pe ecran gandurile pe care le am in legatura cu acest blog. Sunt haotice, asa ca vom incerca sa bagam putina ordine-n dezordine si voi prezenta totul sub forma de FAQ = lista de intrebari care au fost sau ar putea fi adresate frecvent, fervent, efervescent.
