@@biaedoug Glad you did not miss it, it's a nice show. And Bulgaria is not that large but has many nice things. Also, the seaside is nice enough and affordable. And if you visit again, maybe you can do Albania too as Albania is not very large so you could do a few weeks there, a few weeks in BG. BTW, if you guys like older things. in case you manage to visit Romania again, in Romania the roman empire had a 1000 km border and they tended to fortify their borders so around 100 forts, 50 small fortifications, and more than 150 towers in Romania have been identified so far. And that's just the border so excluding many other Roman ruins. Ofc there are Dacian fortresses too, then at the seaside there is a 2600 years old Greek fortress and also there are traces of older cultures too. Cucuteni culture for example. And ofc there are much older human remains discovered - Pestera cu Oase (40k years) , Pestera La Adam (100k years old and almost human). Oh, also RO and BG related, the Thracians used to live in the RO-BG area and it is believed that they had a settlement on the European side of the Bosphorus (called Lygos), before the Greeks got to the area and founded Byzantium. And i think part of a wall of that settlement is still standing, somewhere around Topkapi. Granted, there were humans in the area well before that time too but, you know, just an interesting fact. And how are you guys doing in Turkey, have you been tortured by an ice cream vendor yet? lol

[@biaedoug]

Albania is at the top of our list of countries to visit in Europe when we return, many people recommend it, we will definitely try to spend some time there next time. Yes! We love history, ruins and other old things haha but 40K years old! That’s crazy… but we will definitely return to Romania, we still have a lot to see in the country and what we have seen we loved! To be honest, we knew (and still know) very little about the Thracians, we didn’t know they also had so many connections with Romania! And Turkey is being amazing! It’s totally exceeding our expectations, especially when it comes to food (even more so the sweets!). We escaped from the crazy ice cream vendors haha but for sure before we leave here we will have to film them torturing us! We thank you again for all your time and information, friend!

@@biaedoug Romania is Dacians+Romans.. The Dacians were a sub-group of the Thracians, highest profile names Burebista and Decebal. They were pretty evolved, cities, agriculture, wine, honey production and so on. The capital was at Sarmizegetusa Regia and you can do an image search to see what is there - worth visiting. Anyway, 6 Dacians fortresses are Unesco world heritage sites but there are many many more than just those. In year 101-102 the Roman Empire tried to conquer Dacia but the Dacians pushed them back. Then Trajan, the Roman Emperor at the time, built a 1 km long stone bridge across the Danube (the head of the bridge is still standing- you can search for Podul Lui Traian) and with the help of that bridge, in year 105-106, he managed to conquer Dacia. And then some Romans moved in the area, the populations mixed (Dacians+Romans) and that's Romania. And the Romans established the capital of the province at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa ( different location that the other Sarmizegetusa). And there are many other Roman ruins. Cucuteni civilization was on part of RO and Ukraine some 7k years ago or more - there were other civilizations in the area of RO too but Cucuteni is more known. Tartaria tablets are another old thing in RO, those might be the first human writing in history but that fact is disputed. Roșia Montană is also a Unesco world heritage site, gold was extracted from there since the Bronze Age. There are important Roman traces there too - before the "discovery" of the Americas, Romania was the main source of gold in Europe. But not sure what, if anything, can be visited there. And at the seaside, Contanta county, there are lots of archaeological sites and since such areas have more strategic and economic value, there are traces of more than just the civilizations one would expect in RO. The former Yugoslavia republics are nice too. The entire area of the Balkans had an interesting history, more agitated, lots of influences, lots of weird traditions, good food and nowadays, nature is better preserved than in most of Europe - most of Europe has kinda destroyed its nature, everything was modernized. No marketing dollars so less exposure but it's a nice area. Plus, the south of Europe and the Balkans are friendlier, more social, than what's more to the north of Europe. And yeah Turkey is nice and the food is good - the ice cream is actually really good too, just kinda hard to acquire lol. Have you been to the spice Bazaar? And i am assuming you took the ferry across the Bosphorus- plus the Asian side of Istanbul is nice. You know, Vlad the Impaler actually grew up in Istanbul. He was sent there as a hostage by his father- common practice at the time to ensure that Wallachia (where his father ruled) wasn't gonna be a threat. His father, when he was a kid, was sent as a hostage to Buda (Budepest). And in Topkapi you can see the sword of Stephan the Great, one of the greatest rulers RO ever had and he actually gained the throne in Moldova with Vlad's help Interesting how things are linked.

The church on tzarevets,is not a working church with service and the paintings show the fall of tarnovo under ottoman rule and how they killed 111 nobleman ....and many of the citizens,later they wanted to kill the patriarch (he used to lead the defence of tarnovo,cause the tzar evacuete himself and his family up north)his name was evtimii and is the last patriarh of the second bulgarian empire,but when the soldier lift his hand to cut evtimii head his hand dryed up in the air and the turks got spooked and decided this is sign of God and they didnt kill the patriarh but send him in a monastery

[@biaedoug]

What a fascinating story! We're just reading about Evtimiy and his resilience and dedication to his people. Thanks for sharing!
