In the same way, the folk art of the Transylvanian Romanians is identical with those of Moldavia and Wallachia, and they clearly show the Slavic influences, the Bulgarian, Greek, and important Albanian motifs, picked up by the migrating Vlach herdsmen on their way from the Albanian border to their present location. On the other hand, the famous art creations of the Transylvanian Hungarians, like those of Kalotaszeg, Csík, Haromszék, Udvarhely carry a basic similarity with those of other parts of Hungary, and clearly relate back to ancient Turanian (Scythian) motifs of Sumeria and Babilon.Magyar Csabanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359890212378429410.post-76370284916911298532009-04-26T05:54:00.000-04:002009-04-26T05:54:00.000-04:00Transylvania - Erdély - Was a Hungarian - Magyar -...Transylvania - Erdély - Was a Hungarian - Magyar - land that was GIVEN to romania in the Trianon Diktat!<br /><br />Transylvania has absolutely nothing in common with romanian-vlach history. <br /><br />Transylvania was Hungarian for a Thousand years <br /><br />As part of the Hungarian Kingdom <br />As an Independent Hungarian Principality <br />As part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire <br />Transylvania was part and parcel of the Hungarian Kingdom, or an independent Hungarian Principality for over a thousand years. <br /><br /><br />As an integral part of the Hungarian Kingdom, Transylvania and Kolozsvár was drawn into the Western Christian Culture Circle at the beginning of the eleventh century. The architecture of old Transylvanian cities, such as Nagyvárad , Kolozsvár , Marosvásárhely, Brassó or Dés bear witness to this fact. Besides a few scattered ruins of Roman fortifications, destroyed by the retreating Roman legions in 271 A.D., no sign of any kind would indicate a trace of an older established culture preceding the arrival of the Hungarians. Not even the legends, folk tales, ballads or folk songs of any one of the cohabiting ethnic groups suggest anything of this kind, except the oldest Hungarian (Székely) legends which date back to the time of Attila and the empire of the Huns.Magyar Csaba - Transylvania is Hungarian!http://www.angelfire.com/nm/hun/noreply@blogger.com
