I felt that merely listing the Dacian toponyms isn’t doing anybody any favours. Much like most people didn’t know about the Dacian treasures until they were stolen, I suspect that most Romanians don’t know where the rivers are unless they see them on a map.

I am once again accumulating articles in "Draft" and have very little time for blogging. But watching the news I just came across this abomination and I just have to tell you about the latest Bucharest/Budapest confusion.

Given that “history makes fun of those who don’t know it, repeating itself” (Iorga), I look at a number of lesser known historical facts and theories which are, in my view, relevant to the Russo-Ukrainian crisis.

I started writing this with the intent to present several movies, but I only have time to tell you about a Munich Agreement/Betrayal movie, WWII and the Russo-Ukrainian crisis.

It's a new year, I have a new blog (or, at least, new look), but the same old subjects, blog-friends and recurrent topics. I salute my blogroll friend Krossfire, Dacia and differences.

A more recent, newer list of likely Dacian words is an opportunity to look back at a few issues with Meta Marioara.

Sounds like there's work to do and maybe that's what they tried doing not long ago..  "these days, Ukrainian and international shipping companies prefer to use smaller vessels that can move along the Black Sea coast towards Romanian ports on the Danube, a gateway to Eastern and Central Europe. But “the Danube ports are not deep, a Panamax ship [with a tonnage of more than 50,000] won’t enter them, and the cargo needs to be reloaded either at sea or in other ports,” Kyiv-based analyst Aleksey Kushch told Al Jazeera."

I didn't write much about the Romanian elections, and given the significant disruptions, I thought I share my thoughts. Let me start by asking a few LLMs about Calin Georgescu and the odds of Russian meddling as well as the odds of his campaign having broken the law.
