Ancient Village or Settlement in Romania
The park is located near the archaeological site of Taga where researchers have uncovered various neolithic settlements. The construction started in 2005 and as of early 2015 contains a reconstructed neolithic house, a Dacian settlement, a furnace for melting iron, several workshops for making pottery, woodcarving, etc., and an astronomical observatory set for the year 6750 BC (still being constructed). The observatory marks the sunrise at equinoxes and solstices, as well as the rising points of Sirius, Orion, Taurus, Cassiopeia, and the Pleiades.
