Who was first in Transylvania? Thousands of years ago, the ancestor of the Hungarians Attila the Hun came to Transylvania. He saw a beautiful lake, left his gilded armor, his Damascus sword and his white stallion on the shore and went for a swim. When he got out of the lake - armor was gone, sword was gone and the horse was nowhere to be found. ​ Now you tell me - who were the first in Transylvania, Romanians or Hungarians? (Romanian joke :-) )
