Bucharest was the first oil-lighted city in 1858. In Bucharest, in 1871, there were 785 lamps with oil produced at a factory in Ploiesti.
Timisoara was the first European city street lighting company on 12 November 1884, when 731 electric filament lamps were put into operation on a 59 kilometer street length.
The Sphinx in the Bucegi Mountains is the same height as the Sphinx in Egypt. Around this cliff at 2200 m altitude were born various legends that say whether it was made by humans or that it has extraterrestrial origins. Its formation is attributed to wind erosion, the positive energies that are said to emerge as rumors.
The 10-bani banknote put into circulation in 1917 is the world's smallest banknote according to the World Records Academy. Its
dimensions were only 2.75 x 3.80 cm, almost like a stamp. With a 10-dollar bill, a Romanian in 1917 could buy about a quarter of a kilogram of bread. If in 1917, it was exactly 10 bani, today the collectors can buy the banknote with prices between 20 and 100 lei.
The wooden church of Sapanta-Peri Monastery is the highest wooden church in the world, and is also called the church of continuity.

acular forms of native gold exhibited in this collection are the ones called the Dacian flag, gold lizards and a pentagonal crystal, unique in the world. What gives the museum uniqueness is the fact that no exhibits have ever been crafted by goldsmiths or jewelers.

In 716 AD, Bulgaria saved Europe from Islamization. 716 AD, the Bulgarians, under the leadership of Khan Tervel, stopped the Arab invasion at the doors of Constantinople, helping the Byzantine Empire to deal with the danger. In a vital battle in 718 AD, the Bulgarian cavalry defeated over 60,000 thousand Arab army and saved Europe from the threat. Since then, many chronicles have called Tervel the "Savior of Europe".

Informing with a lawyer, the owner realized that there were no legal conditions for building a house of habitable size in that spot, but in order not to give it over to the hated neigh- bor he decided to finance the construction of a house as large as 100 cm, hence the nickname "casa du currivu", the narrowest house in the world.
Graduate of the Faculty of Medicine in France, specialized in the research of the spleen structure, Nicolae Paulescu has dedicated himself to the research of the pancreas and the disease that decimates it, diabetes. In 1922, after extensive studies and experiments on living organisms, Paulescu discovered pancreas, a form of insulin. Paulescu's merit was not recognized during his lifetime, he did not win the Nobel Prize and only in 1969 the injustice was repaired by A.W.K. Tiselius, vice president of the Nobel Foundation. Nicolae Păulescu is one of those people who deserve eternal gratitude because diabetics live because of him and suffering is more tolerable.
He was founder of the Romanian microbiology school and his discoveries were of particular importance in the treatment of cholera, typhus epidemic, tuberculosis and scarlet fever. The anti-holistic vaccination method he invented, called the "Cantacuzino Method", is still used in countries where there are cases of cholera. In 1913, he led the first massive anti-holocaust vaccination in infectious outbreaks, known in science as "Great Romanian Experience," saving thousands of lives.
His great dream was to fly, so he began making calculations for the plans of a flying machine. He invented the first airplane with his own propulsion means, with which he made the first flight in the history of mankind, rising from the ground by his own means (1906). This flight took place in France at Montesson, where Traian Vuia's flying machine started off with his own engine, ran about 50 meters, then departed from the ground and flew only 12 meters at a height of 1 meter due to side wind. Bearing in mind the creation of a good airplane engine, Vuia managed to invent the internal combustion steam and catalytic combustion steam generator. Traian Vuia and another collaborator, Emmanuel Yvonneau, patented several types of steam generators.
The biplane built by Coanda, with its fuselage and wings covered with wooden plywood mounted on a steel reinforcement, sparked sensation at the Paris Exhibition in 1910. Gustave Eiffel helped him design the plane and tested his flight instrument for life. Physicists know him well because of the name effect, the Coanda effect, or the deviation of fluid jets near curved surfaces. The largest airport in Romania is named after it.
Aviation pioneer, Vlaicu designed and built one of the first Romanian gliders, entitled "Aurel Vlaicu-1909", followed by two other types of monoplanes: "A. Vlaicu nr. I "(1910) and" A. Vlaicu nr. II "(1911). On June 17, 1910 he made the first flight with Vlaicu I at a height of no more than 4 m. On August 16, 1910, Vlaicu flies by plane at a height of 100 m, and on October 17, 1910 presents the apparatus at the aviation meeting in Baneasa. The passion for flying kills over the Carpathian Mountains before building Vlaicu III.
Bucharest Baneasa International Airport is called "Aurel Vlaicu", and its face can be found today on the 50 lei banknote.
It has been one of the pioneers of world medical gerontology that has intuited and discovered the biotrophic therapeutic actions of the procaine by longterm treatment in small doses, curative and prophylactic. Gerovitalul H3, an original Romanian biotrophic product and, at the same time, the first drug created to delay the aging process, was developed between 1946 and 1956 by Ana Aslan who, in a man's world, managed to create in 1952 Bucharest, the first geriatric institute in the world. Ana Aslan treated many famous personalities such as: Mao Tsetoung, Charles de Gaulle, Pablo Picasso, Sir Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietriech, Nicholas and Elena Ceausescu, Konrad Adenanuer, Aristotle Onasis, John F. Kennedy and many others.
His pen has revolutionized writing tools in the world. It also had a system to pump the ink from the cover area to the pen. Moreover, this system also included the basis for the later invention of the pistons.
He was the holder of the first patent obtained by a Romanian. He was the first Romanian to travel by train between Liverpool and Manchester, one of the organizers of the Romanian national education, the founder of the Carol I National College in Craiova. A subway station in Bucharest is named after him.
Cybernetics deals with how a system processes information and responds to it, and studies how systems change or allow changes to optimize their actions.
Doctor Stefan Odobleja is the creator of generalized psychocybernetics and cybernetics, and wrote about this in 1929, the study of the Method of Thoracic Transonance in which he enunciates the Law of Reversibility.
In 1937, his main work, "Consonant Psychology," makes public the first version of the generalized cyber conception and demonstrates its multidisciplinary and multidisciplinary character.
Anastase Dragomir focused on the safety of flight machines and, implicitly, on their passengers, perfecting their own pilots and passengers rescue system in case of accidents. One of the inventions was "a new parachute system of air-borne locomotives, each passenger having his own parachute, which at the critical time allows the release of this airplane assembly so that the parachute, together with the passenger installed in the seat, a floor aperture. "In 1950, he obtained the patent for the" parachute cell "which consisted of using a sliding curved back to eject the cabins either on the floor or on the top. In 1959 he registered an application for the construction of a plane with such seats.
He was a physicist with significant contributions in the field of X-ray and electrical physics. He discovered dielectrine - "an insulator consisting of a mixture of sulfur and paraffin", the highvoltage dynamics 3,000 V and the electroscope now bearing its name, the electroscope Hurmuzescu, electrostatic screen. With this electroscope in 1899, Pierre and Marie Curie will make their first experiments on radios, and Becquerel will use it in 1903 in Nobel Prize-awarded radioactivity research. He established the first electricity laboratory in the country, then transformed into the Electricity School of the University of Iasi, the first experimental physics school. In 1922, under his leadership, the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Society started operating, which on 1 November 1928 broadcast the first broadcast with the announcement: "Alo, alo, here Radio Bucharest". It is the moment that actually inaugurates the national radio station in Romania.

whole family and taking the soldiers in slavery the Bulgarian ruler just liberated the soldiers and kept the king family in prison in good conditions and respect.
