Not just because there is absolutely no continuity between ancient Dacians and modern Romanians. But also because a Romanian photographer regularly visiting the cemetery attests <a href="http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo28497.htm" rel="nofollow">just the contrary:</a><br /><br />“Cimitirul Vesel... acest nume este un unicat prin paradoxul sau, la fel ca si locul pe care il defineste. Cimitirul vesel este insa un fenomen mult mai complex, semantica numelui sau fiind destul de indepartata de continutul unui cimitir. Desigur pentru vizitatorul aflat la primul contact cu acest loc, cimitirul poate parea vesel. Personal, am avut aceeasi impresie, pana in ziua in care am luat parte la o inmormantare in acest cimitir. Am vazut atunci la oamenii implicati in eveniment, toate trairile obisnuite in astfel de imprejurari. Veti vedea in fotografiile facute cu acest prilej, intiparita pe fetele oamenilor, multa durere, suferinta muta si revolta in fata mortii care le-a rapit semenul. Nu era atunci, nu era de loc atunci un spatiu pentru veselie, cimitirul din Sapanta... Era un spatiu al durerii si resemnarii.”<br /><br />“Merry Cemetery” – this name is a unique paradox just like the place it defines. The “merry cemetery” is a very complex phenomenon, and the semantics of this name is quite different from the context of a cemetery. Certainly, for a visitor on the first occasion the cemetery may seem merry. Personally I had the same impression until one day I took part in a funeral in this cemetery. Then I saw that the persons involved behaved just like it can be expected everywhere under such circumstances. The photos made on this occasion show grave faces and attest lots of pain, suffering and shock before death that robbed them of their beloved. No, the cemetery of Sâpănţa was absolutely not a merry place then… It was a place of pain and sorrow.”Studiolumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377777909296284368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565845984512808077.post-10870254520615941692009-08-05T05:45:27.605+02:002009-08-05T05:45:27.605+02:00Thank you for visiting it! :)
