In a cave monastery in Murfatlar, Romania, inscriptions in Cyrillic, Glagolitic and Greek letters are found side by side with a mysterious runic script that researchers have yet to decipher. The monastery, which began to be used in the 9th century, has unique historical and cultural value. Now, researchers are racing against time to document it using modern technology.
