The Sarmizegetusa Regia

Did you know that Romania is home to one of the oldest fortified settlements in Europe? The Sarmizegetusa Regia, located in the Carpathian Mountains, was the capital of the Dacian Kingdom and served as the residence of King Decebalus.

This ancient site, dating back to the 1st century BC, features impressive fortifications, megalithic walls, and a complex network of tunnels. Its strategic location made it a formidable stronghold against Roman invasions.

The wilds of Scotland are home to strange Iron Age structures known as brochs. For years they’ve puzzled archaeologists, but a new project hopes to find their true purpose.

I wonder if this had anything to do with defending against the Sea Peoples. I know it's a bit older, but attacks from the sea would have been common, I would have thought.

Deuxième étape de mon périple dans l'Ouest pour retrouver des ami(e)s lointain(e)s , Brigitte et Sylviane à La Rochelle. Ce jour-là, elles me font découvrir la charmante île de Ré.

Ici, Saint-Martin de Ré avec ses remparts de Vauban, ses mimosas en fleurs et ses baudets du Poitou !
