DANUBE DELTA PARADISE

Delta is a paradise for fauna. Here lives 98% of European aquatic fauna, entire fauna of odonata, the  aquatic lepidoptera, mollusks and gastropods from Europe and here they find refuge as rare mammals lutreola Mustela, Lutra lutra and Felis silvestris. Vertebrates which, by their presence give specific note fauna of the delta. Amphibians are represented by two strange species and six species of anuria, with 8 species and reptiles, mostly snakes (4 species). 

Fish are present in 65 species, mostly freshwater (60%), the remainder migrating spring in the Black Sea. Among these latter, sturgeon and mackerel are important, both scientifically and economically.

Birds are the ones that have created the fame of the Delta, known since the beginning of the century as an avian paradise. Fame is due to the 327 species that can be met in the delta and that represents 81% of the fauna of Romania.Of these 218 species nest, the remaining 109 species passing through the delta and different periods of time remaining in autumn, winter and spring. 
Seabirds are the most numerous: 81 species nest here and 60 species pass through the delta, a total of 141 species, representing 82% of European aquatic fauna. Aquatic fauna of the Danube Delta is made up of a core of old species are well adapted to the aquatic environment, plus, cosmopolitan species and species accessories. Core avifauna is composed of 75 species whose life is linked to the presence of water. They are grouped into five main ecological types: species closely related to water, strictly stenotope (dip, mirabelle, furtunari, pelicans, cormorants, spoonbills), species of reeds (all species of aquatic paseriforme) shore species (herons, spoon herons, spoonbills), hydrophilic vegetation species rich meadows with reeds (ralide), species of marine shores (some laride).
Many species, especially of ducks, geese, gulls, frequently occur in different biotopes. Accessory species are those that integrate secondary aquatic fauna, becoming increasingly numerous since the transformation of aquatic ecosystems. Riverside coppices are populated by Silvia, Flycatcher, filomele, Pitigoi, finches, which are added during the nesting ducks, cormorants and herons. In Letea forests and 64 species nest Caraorman nemoral typical forest avifauna (Silvia, blackbirds, woodpeckers, măcăleandru, Pitigoi, starling, and tailed (Haliaetus albicilla), the kite brown dwarf eagle, osprey, etc.. Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) was introduced through colonization rapidly developing population. In sandy steppe meadows are specific partridge, quail, lark, Stone Curlew (Burchinus oedicnemus). The delta villages, in addition to households, are common Collared Dove, House Sparrow, Swallow , stork, swallow.A number of aquatic species during the nesting involves forming clusters of nesting colonies in space are generally small. Causes of association are related to the scarcity of nest building surfaces, and the benefits of the presence of a large number of birds in the defense nests with eggs or chicken. Nesting colonies have always been a great attraction of the delta. Thousands of nests built on the meadows of willow branches or reeds, infernal noise, the specific atmosphere of other geological eras, biting flight of thousands of birds feed their chicks, bird colonies transformed into a paradise not only for ornithologists, but also of any loving nature. 

In the Danube Delta are several types of colonies: herons, spoon bills, herons and cormorants, pelicans and cormorants, gulls, and the avoazete knock-back, the Black Tern, the terns. Pelican colony strictly protected area full-Buhaiova Rosca is the largest in Europe and is an example of a mixed colony *. This is associated with several thousand pairs of white pelicans, with tens to hundreds of pairs of Dalmatian pelican and cormorant sea in a landscape which is reminiscent of Jurassic Park. Access is allowed only near the colony specialists who have obtained special permits.

ANCIENT INITIATION

What is initiation? All ancient texts equals the neophyte taking to the road map to reach the "second birth." Any true initiation as it has a triple structure Rene Guénon's view, fundamental to graduate. But Bucegi archetypal house and he gives us a structure on three levels which makes it become the archetypal symbol of initiation zamolxiene. First level and lowest is Ialomita cave or cave where neophyte Zamolxe dying for the world to be born a second time from the earth in order to securely come to know the secrets of heaven. This last phase of initiation, the knowledge of heavenly mysteries, spiritual was the supreme achievement of man in the Eastern tradition but also in the West, at least the early Middle Ages (see legend Grail legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table).

I said that the temple of Bucegi is structured on three levels and that these levels represent the three stages of initiation authentic. Thus, once the neophyte was born the second time in his cave Zamolxe after a prior instruction on the second level, Plateau Old Women, which first made, we are finally at the third level (the altar or sanctuary Principal threefold pillar of heaven), reaching divine initiation, the World Center.That means all the traditions of ancient Dacia, and the Dacians, and not only them, saw the chief of the world Kogaion center, axis, pole Piedmont. This Hiperboreus Axis, Axis Mundi is composed of three peaks adjacent: Gavan, Omu and Avoided Peak.

I said that Kogaion, huge natural temple, is an archetypal symbol, a model. Model for what? Model for all the ancient temples of mystery religions about which involved a second birth.

Therefore, the Trinitarian structure of the temple construction is found in the Bucegi Christian churches that are divided into the narthex, nave and altar. As Egyptian temples and the Greek "three divisions of the Egyptian temple remain forever" Constantin Daniel's opinion.

TARTARIA - A CONTROVERSIAL DATING

Dating about three tablets, archaeological documentation is still not 100% sure.Tărtăria tablets seem to belong migrations Vinca civilization, one of the oldest European culture with a known length of about eight centuries, when such a writing system was used not only in southeastern Europe but also in the area of the proto-Sumerian civilizations. Meanwhile, other scientists have dated the artifacts in the third millennium BC V and VI the second half of the first millennium BC. According to them, tablets are the first attestations of a European ancient writings. In present days, the controversy continues. But what really happened to Tartaria? A further analysis of the findings, made after he made more light on this case.
In fact, the tablets have never been analyzed using radiocarbon, but this has not prevented the legends to be born around the subject. According to Romanian archaeologists, tablets cant be dated by C14 treatment because they were unwittingly subjected. It seems that archaeologist Nicholas Vlassa archaeological site is not in the moment of discovery that took place several hours before completion of the excavation. Tablets were soft and covered by limestone due to moisture. In order to strengthen one of the restorers decided to dry them in the oven located in the museum laboratory, but the temperature and baking time remained unknown. After this treatment, tablets could not be subjected to C14 dating, because of heat stress compromise the quality of the clay, essential if a carbon analysis. Many domestic and foreign archaeologists complain that Vlassa not photographed artifacts when he unearthed it and refused to cooperate with his colleagues, while avoiding to give too many details about his discoveries in the reports that regularly draw be content to repeat the same information as the news.
Lack of photos at the website and especially difficult to locate even today, combined with other factors such as the inability to precisely date plates, difficult to identify a powerful civilization in the Danube basin could to "produce" written 1000 years before Sumer, all these factors has prompted generations of archaeologists and historians to doubt the role that the tablets could play precise determination chronology and ask questions about their true Birth place of civilization.
