Prehistoric Transylvania

Okay kiddo, let's talk about prehistoric Transylvania. This is the story of the very old times when even your great-great-great-great-great grandparents weren't born yet.

Transylvania is a place, a region, that we now know as part of Romania. But a really, really long time ago, there were no people living there, only wild animals like bears and wolves and wild boars.

Then, something amazing happened. People started to come to Transylvania. But not like the people you know today. These were people who looked a little different, like they came from a different place. They were called "prehistoric" because they lived before history was written down.

These prehistoric people didn't have houses like we do now. They lived in caves or huts made out of sticks and animal skins. They didn't have smartphones or computers or even toys, they had to make everything with their own hands!

But these people were very clever. They learned how to make tools and weapons out of rocks and wood. They started to hunt for food and gather plants and berries. They knew how to make fire and use it to cook their food and keep warm.

Even though life was very different back then, people still had families and lived together in groups. They probably talked to each other with grunts and gestures, not words like we do. But they still loved and cared for each other.

So, that's the story of prehistoric Transylvania. People a long, long time ago came to this place, lived in caves and huts, hunted for food, made their own tools and weapons, and loved each other in their own way.
