Tărtăria Tablets
The First Writing System &
The First Menstrual Calendar
Long before Sumerian cuneiform, before Egyptian hieroglyphs, there were the Tărtăria Tablets—three inscribed clay tablets, discovered in Romania, dating back to 5500 BCE. Some scholars believe they represent the earliest form of writing, containing sacred symbols, lunar cycles, and divinatory codes. Among their secrets lies what could be the first recorded menstrual calendar—a hidden language of the divine feminine, lunar synchronization, and ancestral wisdom.
This encoded knowledge, passed down by priestesses of the Mother Goddess, was a tool for understanding not just fertility but the cosmic rhythms governing human existence.

the Turdaș-Vinča Culture 🇷🇸
The First Form of Writing in the World 🇷🇴 The famous amulets from Tărtăria (5,500 BC) are attributed to the Turdaș–Vinča Culture 🇷🇸 The supreme attribute of divinity was the act of creation—the attempt to personify fertility could only take the form of a woman. The great ethnographer Ion Ghinoiu observed that in Romania, belief in the Mother Goddess was so strong that many elements of her cult were transferred to the Christian Virgin Mary.
The Political Context of 1961 🇷🇴
To form an accurate opinion based on historical truth, one must set aside all preconceived notions about the Tărtăria tablets and follow logical reasoning to the end. The political context in which Cluj archaeologist Nicolae Vlassadiscovered the tablets in 1961 is well-known—Bolshevism was at its peak in Romania.
It is impossible to believe that an archaeologist of Vlassa’s caliber did not understand the historical context and the risk of not being able to date the discovery when he subjected the tablets to thermal treatment to remove the white layer covering them.
We like to believe that this issue has already been resolved through other scientific disciplines, which we will explore today. However, the thermal treatment of the tablets made it impossible to date their age using the carbon-14 method. At the same time, when comparing Egyptian, Harappan, and Sumerian writings, we see a significant chronological gap, as all these scripts date back to 3200–3500 BCE.
2,000 Years Before Sumerian Writing ✎ Thus, to counteract this politically unfavorable context for such a groundbreaking discovery—one of great importance for the history of humanity—we will examine the Tărtăria tablets from a multidisciplinary perspective, ranging from archaeology to linguistics.
The first written message in human history
Milady of Tărtăria When discovered, the tablets were found alongside human remains, as the site was a burial ground. Physically and chronologically, it is nearly impossible for the tablets to have arrived there by chance, meaning they almost certainly belonged to the buried individual. This is crucial because it introduces a new factor into our investigation: the age of the bones! The first written message in human history—the mysterious „Milady of Tărtăria„: Initially, the exhumed bones were believed to belong to a 35–40-year-old man. However, further analysis revealed they were from a 55-year-old woman—a rare age to reach 7,000 years ago.
Expert Opinions on the Tărtăria Tablets
🇮🇹 Italian archaeologist Marco Merlini: „Both the bones and the tablets are incredibly old. This is now a certainty. It is time for us to recognize that writing began in Europe 2,000 years before the Sumerian script. Romania holds an immense treasure, but it belongs not only to Romania but to all of Europe.”
🇬🇧 John Mandis: „The oldest signs of writing were discovered at Turdaș and Tărtăria.” 🇩🇪 German linguist Harald Haarmann: „The world’s oldest writing is from Tărtăria, Romania. The Danubian Civilization was the first great civilization in history, predating the Sumerians—still mistakenly considered the cradle of civilization—by thousands of years.” 🇷🇺 V. Titov (reaffirming): „The oldest writing in human history emerged at Tărtăria.”
The First Form of
Faith in Europe ✞
The Oldest Menstrual Calendar in the World
At the heart of Neolithic Europe, the Sanctuary of Parța stands as a testament to the first organized religious belief system. Constructed over 7,000 years ago, it reflects a cosmic understanding of divine balance—the Mother Goddessand her Bull Consort, symbols of fertility, power, and celestial order. Marking a transition from hunter-gatherer societies to proto-urban settlements, the Turdaș-Vinča Culture laid the foundation for the first structured rituals, sacred sites, and encoded knowledge. This knowledge was preserved, passed on, and ultimately forgotten—until now.
The Sanctuary of Parța ✞ Timiș – 5200 BC
The Sanctuary of Parța, the earliest form of faith in Europe, is a key communication symbol in Timișoara 2023 – European Capital of Culture. This was the era when prehistoric people transitioned from hunting traditions to agriculture and proto-urban communities, paving the way for art.
Marked with sacred symbols, the two monumental statues of the Parța Temple represent the Divine Couple: the Great Mother Goddess and her partner, the Bull, a secondary figure whose face was not meant to be known. The sculptural complex was carved from a single block, adorned with incised yellow and red pigments—colors frequently found in burial sites or cremation graves, later joined by blue during the Antiquity and Medieval periods.
The Parța Temple symbolizes the divine union between a matriarchal mother-goddess and a solar patriarchal deity, dating back more than 7,000 years. This period likely marked the transition to new polytheistic religious visions, where the role of priestesses declined, gradually being replaced by druids beyond the Alps and priests in the Carpathians.
The temple was the meeting point between the divine and the earthly world, with its central element being the image of the divine being—to whom the site was dedicated or who resided there. Every ritual act or sacred word spoken before this image had consequences beyond tangible reality. Without this physical or symbolic image of power, a true temple could not exist. Temples were earthly reflections of celestial archetypes, cosmic images that symbolically reproduced the order of the universe. The Parța Temple, extensively explored since 1931, spans 50 square kilometers, where over 42 archaeological sites have been uncovered, dating from the Early Neolithic to the Middle Ages.
The latest research phase has revealed imposing structures, including columns, statues, altars with intricate symbols, multi-room buildings with upper floors and attics, and entire residential districts. At the heart of this ancient social complex, archaeologist Gheorghe Lazarovici, known for his major Balkan prehistoric discoveries, unearthed the oldest Neolithic cult temple in Europe—the Parța Temple.
A Sacred Space with Ritual Divisions
Built around 5500 BCE, the temple underwent minor modifications but remained structurally stable, measuring 12.5 by 7 meters. It featured a cult-specific architecture, a sacred inventory, and a ritual room division, which remains relevant even in modern religions. The sanctuary had a hidden chamber, where two monumental statues and sacred symbols were used by priestesses to conduct initiations—a master-disciple-based education system.
The Supreme Priestess and the
Birth of a Universal Legend ☥
According to Professor Gheorghe Lazarovici, Parța was a proto-urban settlement, far more advanced than medieval towns, functioning as an economic, religious, social, and military center. The settlement featured multi-story buildings, elevated stoves, wooden-pillar structures with multiple rooms, drainage systems, massive log palisades, fortified gates, and watchtowers, transforming Parța into the genesis of a universal legend.
The location of the sanctuary and settlement was likely chosen by an initiated figure, probably the supreme priestess, who sometimes lent her own name to the newly founded settlement. The temple’s construction incorporated impressive astronomical knowledge, with the sunlight entering through marked openings at specific dates, illuminating sacred cult objects—a phenomenon affecting the entire community’s life.
At the base of the statue complex, located in the sacred chamber reserved for initiates, lay a vessel of consecrated water, directly linked to ritualistic solar worship. This deeply interconnected worldview led to the formation of the first known religion in the world: a solar faith based on a lunar calendar, a universal belief system.
The Mother Goddess and the Neolithic Calendar
The Mother Goddess was closely linked to the Spring Equinox, which—based on ancient calendars—fell on March 9. On this day, the Great Neolithic Mother Goddess was celebrated. Christianity later superimposed Saint Eudokia, a secondary, youthful character, who could not withstand the pre-Christian religious influence of the local population. Over time, Eudokia evolved into Baba Dochia—a mythical figure representing the death and rebirth of the agricultural year, a crucial event for farming societies.
Following the birth of the sacred child, Dochia was followed by a new generation of mythical virgin figures, heavily influenced by pre-Christian beliefs. Their names remain unchanged: Sânzienele (Fairies of Midsummer), Lăzărițele (Ritual Maidens), Florii (Flowers), and Ielele (Mysterious Nymphs).
The High Priestesses of Parța, who later transformed the faith into a secret cult, synchronized human biological rhythms with the Moon. This led to the creation of what is likely the oldest calendar in the world—the Menstrual Calendar.
☥ Turdaș-Vinča
Fallen Angels ✟
This hidden knowledge aimed to create not just ordinary children but „Children of the Moon”, legendary beings frequently found in Romanian myths and folklore. These were children born with celestial marks, such as a star on their forehead or the Sun/Moon imprinted on their bodies (often the shoulder)—a divine sign predestining them for great deeds that would shape the destiny of their community.
But beware—not all ancient knowledge was meant to be unearthed. The same forces that guided early civilizations also whispered of forbidden truths—of Fallen Angels, celestial war, and non-human entities hidden in the shadows. The myths of exiled deities, watchers, and secret keepers resurface in this new age.
The Sanctuary of Parța was more than a place of worship—it was a barrier between the world of men and the unknown. The priests and priestesses who maintained these sacred sites were not just guardians of wisdom, but keepers of a cosmic threshold—one that should never be crossed. As players venture deeper into the NFT-powered metaverse, they will encounter trials of faith, echoes of forgotten horrors, and relics that should have remained lost.
