 Captain John Smith, Charles Dudley Warner - Section 2 of 19 - Book Club/Biography - ArcaMax Publishing
The siege of Alba Regalis must have been about the year 1601--Smith never troubles himself with any dates--and while it was undecided, Mahomet III.--this was the prompt Sultan who made his position secure by putting to death nineteen of his brothers upon his accession--raised sixty thousand troops for its relief or its recovery.
It must be confessed that the historians and the map-makers did not always attach the importance that Smith did to the battles in which he was conspicuous, and we do not find the Land of Zarkam or the city of Regall in the contemporary chronicles or atlases.
This patent, therefore, was not given at Alba Julia, nor until Prince Sigismund had finally left his country, and when the Emperor was, in fact, the Prince of Transylvania.

  Tărtăria tablets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vlassa dated his find ca 4500 BC and associated it with the so-called Vinca culture, interpreting the Tartaria tablets as a hunting scene and the other two with signs, as a kind of primitive writing that he related to the Ancient Near East.
Similar artifacts have been found at Vinca, Serbia and a number of other locations in the southern Balkans.
Some archaeologists who support the idea that they do represent writing have proposed that they are fragments of a system dubbed the Old European Script.

This patent, therefore, was not given at Alba Julia, nor until Prince Sigismund had finally left his country, and when the Emperor was, in fact, the Prince of Transylvania.
This promise of a pension was perhaps the most unsubstantial portion of his reward, for Sigismund himself became a pensioner shortly after the events last narrated.
Smith visited him at "Lipswicke in Misenland," and the Prince "gave him his Passe, intimating the service he had done, and the honors he had received, with fifteen hundred ducats of gold to repair his losses." The "Passe" was doubtless the "Patent" before introduced, and we hear no word of the annual pension.

The discovery of Tartaria tablets seem to indicate that the dacians were the first ones to use writing (as far ar we know it by now).
The chief towns of the province were Colonia Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa (today Sarmizegetusa, Hunedoara county, Romania), Apulum (today Alba-Iulia, Alba county), Napoca (today Cluj-Napoca, Cluj county) and Potaissa (today Turda, Cluj county).
The Dacians adopted the religion and language of the conquerors - the modern Romanian language being a Romance language.

 Tartaria
Continuând cercetarile arheologice la Tartaria (incepute in anul 19 42), N.Vlassa avea sa descopere (1961) un important complex cu materiale ce atesta o continuitate de locuire, in acest loc, datata intre anii 4500-200 i.H., in unele cazuri chiar si pâna mai târziu.
Se pare ca traducerea a fost influentata de existenta complexului de cult si a osemintelor care, evident, atesta practicarea in acele timpuri si in acest loc a sacrificiilor umane, ritual regasit la sumerieni, dar si la popoarele precolumbiene din America sau alte continente.
S-a stabilit cu certitudine ca "...sumerienii aveau pielea alba, par negru si erau de doua tipuri: doliococefali si brachicefali", asa cum a fost si "Omul de la Schela-Cladovei" si cel din clisura Dunarii.

At the siege of Alba Regalis, the Turks gained several successes by night sallies, and, as usual, it was not till Smith came to the front with one of his ingenious devices that the fortune of war changed.
The siege of Alba Regalis must have been about the year 1601--Smith never troubles himself with any dates--and while it was undecided, Mahomet III.--this was the prompt Sultan who made his position secure by putting to death nineteen of his brothers upon his accession--raised sixty thousand troops for its relief or its recovery.
After his return from Virginia he and his exploits were the subject of many a stage play and spectacle, but whether his vanity was more flattered by this mark of notoriety than his piety was offended we do not know.

Originalele sunt pastrate la Muzeul National de Istorie a Transilvaniei din Cluj-Napoca, nefiind trimise in expozitie din cauza faptului ca asigurarea lor ar fi costat o avere, a declarat, ieri, istoricul clujean Gheorghe Lazarovici.

 An Historical Survey
The tablets of baked clay, discovered at Tartaria, located on the banks of the Mures River, Alba county, were made from local clay and covered with a writing very similar to the Sumerian one, with the same direction of reading, that is counterclockwise (the spiral of life).
These tablets are estimated to belong to a more than 8,000 years old civilization; therefore, a much earlier one than the Sumer’s.
The inscribed tablets from Orastie, Hunedoara county and Acidava, Arges county, are even older, preceding those from Tartaria.
