Tartaria - The oldest writing in the world

In the heart of Transylvania were discovered on clay tablets ago almost 7500 years. This is a sensational discovery, which remained hidden much of the time in the absence of analysis of the carbon dating 14. Now, the analyses already made under the authenticity of this discovery: ancient writing.

The researcher Maria Gimbutas, university professor in the archaeology of Europe at Harvard and UCLA, an authority in his field, has applied research on the shelves of Tartaria, found at Turdas, 47 km from Deva (Hunedoara County) in the southern department of Alba, in Transylvania (Romania).

It is obvious that people who lived in this region (5500 years BC) knew a kind of writing related to their belief: the myth of a female divinity.

Signs on these tablets are signs of a sort of sacred hieroglyphics.
Only Carbone14 analysis revealed that the seniority of tablets
This writing was done at half the 6 th millennium BC. JC and used almost 1500 years old at the time of copper.

The ancient script European disappeared by the disintegration of cultures and Karanovo Vinca (4000 BC) following the arrival of nomadic herders who came from the solid southern Russia today.
They spoke idioms Proto Indo European.

But the writing has survived in the Aegean or the old European civilization has persisted even two millennia. That's why there are similarities between this writing and former European writings from the era of bronze, milling and Cyprus.
So there are similarities between this writing and ancient Greek writing.

Some notes on the history of the discovery:

1874
Archaeologist Zsofia Torma began archaeological excavations near the town of Alba Iulia, Turdas
The ceramic objects, which bore inscriptions (more than 300 signs incised) have been distributed to museums in Berlin, Mainz, Munich and Cluj.

1910
Archaeologist Marton Rosca resume archaeological excavations at Turdas to clarify the type of ceramic and stratigraphic sequences Started "pat Zsofia Torma.

Other signs were found in the archaeological site of Vinca near Belgrade. (1908), in the basin of the river Tisa, in the Rodopi Mountains (Bulgaria).

This writing old, well before the Egyptian and Sumerian writings can be found in the Danube Carpathian region and the Balkans.

In his book "Romanian Mythology" (published by the Romanian Academy, 1987 ethnologist Romanian Romulus Vulcanescu tries to interpret the three tablets, referring to writings of Crete, by analogy.

His theory is that the tablets are sacred, that are part of the mythological magic rites associated with funeral ceremonies, or forms of worship since the early solar.

In its approach to inform the World tablets Tartaria researcher Romanian Dumitru Badila (in 2006) is still a question, why historians have not insisted on this surprising discovery that makes Tartaria (Turdas) the centre of a World surprising and unknown, who has lived and experienced writing 7500 years ago.
