It is incredible and defies the imagination how he finds, to the last detail, in Romanian legends
and ballads, the ancient deeds described in the ancient texts, starting with Homer himself.
His argumentation is solid, well-grounded, extremely well informed. He was accused of advancing
hypotheses, but he proved. He proved the millenary continuity of the Romanian people and the
conservative force of our nation.
The general essence of his theory is in short the following:
Densusianu starts from the prehistoric man and gradually reconstitutes the biggest empire known to the ancient world, the Pelasgian empire. He shows the extraordinary role played for the human civilization by this empire, owing especially to the deified kings Uranos and Saturn, and their wives Gaea and Rhea.
He proves – it can’t be said otherwise – that the entire, but absolutely the entire mythology, so- called Greek, was born in the mountains of Dacia, between Buzau and the Iron Gates. The great temple of the world was on the peak Omul, in the Bucegi mountains.
He proves that a principal branch of these Pelasgians spoke a language called by him proto- Latin, which gave birth to Latin and the neo-Latin languages. He shows how tribes of this empire (the basis of which he believes to have been mostly religious), composed mainly of shepherds, and later by metal-workers, descended and founded Troy, Mycenae and Rome.
He tries to recreate the customs, belief and language of these peoples and manages to explain countless historical facts, which so far had been unclear.
If we, Romanians, have resisted the floods of invasions, if we exist, from far beyond the Nister in the east (Dnestr), to Istria, Switzerland and Little Valahia of Bohemia in the west, from south Poland in the north, to Athens and the islands of the Archipelagos in the south, it is not only because the Roman colonists were brought here by Trajan. Our essence is proto-Latin, we were the ancient Arimii (as they were called in remote times), one of the principal tribes of the Pelasgians. One of their branches were Rimii who founded Rome, Aromanii of today already existed, and it was from here that they penetrated far to the end of Asia, the north of Africa, to Spain and Denmark, as in all of these regions it can be observed that their ancient populations were branches of the same people, who dwelt and had their centre especially in Transylvania and Oltenia."
