Did a Great Flood Cover Romania? A Lost Plateau Instead of the Black Sea?
Throughout history, ancient flood legends have echoed across cultures—from the biblical story of Noah to the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh. But could such a cataclysm have also swept across the territory of modern-day Romania? According to the book Transylvanian Sunrise written by Romanian author Radu Cinamar, this possibility may not be just myth, but a glimpse into a forgotten past.
In one of the book’s most intriguing passages, the author recounts a holographic projection allegedly seen within a hidden facility in the Bucegi Mountains, that reveals an overwhelming flood engulfing Romania and surrounding areas. The vision suggests not only a total submersion of the land, but also an astonishing detail: where today lies the Black Sea, there once stood an enormous plateau.
Excerpt from the Book
“…about two meters from the control panel, a massive hologram appeared, displaying an image of Earth seen from the atmosphere, approximately twenty-five kilometers in altitude. I recognized with emotion the Carpathian Mountains and their distinct curve, but I was surprised to see immense quantities of water flowing toward the plains and lowlands, until the ground was left bare.
Then, over the holographic image, a projection of the silver square with the large red button in its center—located on the control panel—appeared on one side.
The button was blinking intermittently, while the symbols on either side of it changed rapidly, constantly shifting colors. I saw how, gradually, from the soil of the territory that today includes all of Romania and large parts of Hungary and Ukraine, increasingly large streams of water emerged, like giant rivers, coming from all directions, heading toward the mountains and the Transylvanian Plateau.
Then, the image zoomed in, and I saw how, in a very short time, the entire region of Romania had become, practically, a new sea, with only mountain peaks and small patches of land protruding like islands.
At that moment, the projection of the square with the red button stabilized on the holographic image, no longer blinking. Immediately, on the left side of the hologram, the projection of two central slots and the levers on the control panel appeared, and they began to slowly slide downward. I simultaneously observed how the waters started to recede from the territory of our country, but strangely, they moved southward toward a single point, which I identified somewhere in the Retezat Massif, most likely in the Godeanu Mountains area.
The entire inland sea drained into the earth through that spot, and once again, Romania’s territory appeared dry, with the geological formations we know today. However, in the curved zone of the Carpathians, at a certain distance to the east—on what is now Vrancea territory—I noticed a dark-colored rift, which I estimated to be about thirty kilometers long, but I could not determine what it represented.
Additionally, the Delta region did not exist, and in place of the Black Sea, there was a vast plateau stretching toward the Near East.
At that moment, the holographic image disappeared just as suddenly as it had appeared.”
Conclusion: A Submerged Past Beneath Our Feet?
The notion that Romania was once submerged under a vast sea, with mountain peaks rising like islands and a hidden sinkhole draining the waters, challenges both mainstream geology and our understanding of ancient history. And the suggestion that the Black Sea was once a massive plateau stretching toward the East only deepens the mystery.
This invites us to reconsider the possibility that our world has hidden a far more turbulent past than we can imagine.
