Join Charlie Ottley as he ventures deep into the breath-taking but little known mountains and forests of Carpathia. Home to bears, wolves and the elusive Lynx and little known to the rest of the world, this is perhaps the last great wilderness in Europe, seen as never before. We will provide you with a unique insight into the beauty and rich culture of the region exploring its chequered history from the mystical ruins of the ancient Dacian civilisations to its medieval communities, many of which survive intact to this day. In his quest to find remote villages, cross mountains and spot bears in the wild, Charlie meets a dedicated group of individuals whose passion for this area is helping to redefine its importance as one of the great surviving wonders of the natural world. These include a Transylvanian count who is working to conserve some of the most ancient of Carpathia's medieval villages and His Royal Highness Prince Charles, who can trace his ancestry back to Romania's dark and distant past. Wild Carpathia captures the fragile majesty of a unique eco-system and shows why it deserves to be preserved in all its glory for the benefit of future generations and the survival of Europe's most endangered carnivores. The full program will show on Travel Channel via European satellite networks on October 30th at 8.00, for more info http://www.travelchannel.co.uk/series-info.asp?series=Wild+Carpathia&ID=1535

  • Calling a Romanian "Gypsy" is like calling a French "Arab" or a British "Pakistanian". How idiot can some people be to confuse a minority with the majority from a country? Is it so hard to understand these basic things:

    - Gypsy / Zingaro / Rrom / Cigan - originating from India ( Punjab ) and minority in? almost all European countries

    - Romanians - Latin Europeans named derived from Romans, the ancestors of all Latin people including Romanians

    STOP? THE CONFUSION GOD DAMN IT !!!

  • @TheUncleBilly "Where does Romania get its name? From the Romans."

    True. The name of our country comes from Latin. Romania means "land of the Romans" and Transylvania means "the land beyond the forest".

  • Romania is not the birth place of all Indo-European languages nor did the Romans originate from Romania. The first known inhabitants of Romania were the Dacians or Getae who were one of several Thracian tribes inhabiting eastern Europe. Romania was given it's name by the Romans who occupied the land and colonized it, eventually merging with the local population.

  • Multumesc draga mea pentru minunata surpriza.!

    Te felicit din toata inima pentru aceasta postare!

  • @grauntele Romania is the birthplace of indo-European and Latin languages. Romanian is the only European language to not have dialects. This indicates that Romanian is the original language of Europe. Latin tribes originated in Romania and latter migrated to the Italian peninsula and formed the Roman civilization. This means that Rome is Latin because of Romania, not Romania is Latin because of Rome. The non-Latin Etruscans were the original Italians.

  • @grauntele Actually, a more ancient root of the name Romania is "om" which means man. This is an archaic form of colloquial Latin which many indicators show originated in this land. Many ancient people called themselves simply "people of.." or "man" which would mean that Romania originally meant simply "land of our people". Romania is much older than Rome. 160 years of Roman occupation was not enough time to Romanize this land. It was already Latin when the Romans arrived.
