Sarmisegetusa

"Here stood one who studied the waxing and waning of the moon, while still another regarded the labors of the sun and observed how those bodies which were hastening to go toward the east are whirled around and borne back to the west by the rotation of the heavens." Iordanes

Burebista's Temple -- destroyed in the 1980's by careless archaeologists.

Burebista's Temple -- element of  the Sacred Stairs

Decebal's Temple -- 60 giant circular andesite stones

The Sacred Road -- strange trapezoidal shaped andesite stone pieces

Sarmisegetusa's wall -- unusual combination of variously shaped stones; a particularly interesting arrangement is the inclusion of columns.

The Great Cosmic Dacian Calendar -- even more exact than the Maya Calendar.

The Small Cosmic Dacian Calendar -- built also of andesite columns

The Dacian andesite columns of Sarmisegetusa - a wonder of the Dacian technology in molding this extra-hard material; the columns are scattered about the place.

Andesite columns scattered about the immense terrace of the Sarmisegetusa Temples.

The andesite little square, the end (or the beginning) of a sacred road connecting like a secant all the terraces and building at Sarmisegetusa.

The sacred road, perfectly built of calcarous stones and andesites.

The mathematical pattern of Sarmisegetusa - all cyclopical buildings of the Dacians on the peak of Dealul Gadistei (at an altitude of 1,045m) harmoniously follow this mathematical, geometrical, topographical and cosmogonical pattern. The line of the North coincides exactly with the arrow of the so-called Andesite Sun.

Aerial view of Sarmisegetusa, the heart of the Dacian capital, lying to this day at the end of a forest road 20km long, destroyed (or mutilated) annually and passionately by the "architect" Godeanu, the mountain which "rules" over the neighbourhood and which is said to be the Kogaion, the Sacred Mountain of the Dacians.

The arrow of the andesite sun indicates the North and points to the "heart" of the oblong temple which, according to General Dragomir, can be a model of our planetary system.

The walls of Sarmisegetusa, a real Chinese wall in the Dacian capital. Although it said that the building was demolished as far back as the ancient times, there are no traces left by the stones pulled out of the 5m thick wall.

The walls of Sarmisegetusa have all the same height. This mystery of the Dacian buildings has been studied by the Dacia Revival and ICIDAC teams in several Dacian "davas".

Map indicating the central area of Sarmisegetusa. The gigantic Dacian terraces are visible as well as the ancient road connecting the terraces to the west.

Cosmogonical topography, divine geometry, cosmic harmony or frenzied andesite building? It seems the Dacians knew them all.

The andesite sun - the huge circular building, divided into ten slices having 36 degrees each, and which "gather" tangentially the Great Calendar Temple and which point to several Dacian buildings (see for instance the moles on the Timpu Peak)
