I'm from Bulgaria, the valley of the Thracian rulers, and I'm impressed with how many details you got right. Fun fact: the capital of Seuthes III, named Seuthopolis, is submerged under the Koprinka dam. It was attacked and burned by the Celts. The treasures left by the Thracians are incredible. Some of the most notable include: Valchitran Treasure: This treasure consists of gold and weighs about 12.5 kg. The most impressive fact is that it dates back to around 1300 BC. Having so much gold back then is truly spectacular. Rogozen Treasure: Weighing about 20 kg, this treasure includes incredibly beautiful silver items, some with gold plating, dating to around 400 BC. Panagiurishte Treasure: This is definitely the most beautiful and spectacular Thracian treasure. It consists of about 6 kg of 24-karat gold and dates to around 300-400 BC. Seeing it in person is incredible; I've visited many museums around the world, but this treasure is something different.

​@@westsidermetalhead4997 The communists in this occasion, the capitalists in others. It's just human greed. A short list of sad examples: - During the last decades soldiers from UN mission at Western Sahara have destroyed prehistoric remains of local cultures. - The government of Egypt did the same than the Bulgarian government when they built the Aswan damn on the Nile more than half a century ago. As the Egyptians requested technical assistance from other countries, they paid back with some of the ancient buildings about to be covered by the new artificial lake. That's the reason to have ancient Egyptian temples at New York, Madrid, Leiden and Turin. But these were just a few of the buildings. Another temples, forts and cemeteries are now under the water of lake Nasser. - The first Neanderthal fossils were discovered just by chance when some workers were digging out many tons of earth to extract some mineral. Do you know how many times mining companies, builders and farmers have destroyed prehistoric and historic sites all over the world? - And, of course, remember all the ancient objects, including writings, that were destroyed by the Christians in Europe, Africa, Asia and even America since the Roman emperors decided to use Christianity as a political tool until the US invaded Iraq, when some Sumerian records were stolen at Baghdad by burglars contracted by US religious extremists that wanted some original stories banished. Stories that are several millennia earlier than the book of Genesis, which repeats that same stories, adapted from the rich Sumerian urban polytheistic culture to the not so brilliant people living during king Solomon's time in his lands.

Drohimete was a Getae-Dacian king who ruled on both banks of the Danube. In Dacia and south of the Danube.

[@mariadespina80]

The Geto-Dacian chieftain Dromichaetes (or Dromihete) is a semi-legendary character of ancient history. Attested in ancient sources, he is considered by historians to be a warrior king and a brilliant diplomat who led a powerful union of tribes north of the Danube and who managed to defeat the king of Macedonia, a superpower of the ancient world. He also ruled south of the Danube where his tomb is located. The Getae and the Dacians, the Romanian ancestors, were the most numerous of the great family of the European Thracians. over 100 tribes with different names but the same language and customs.

[@raulpetrascu2696]

In fact if you look at the magisters militum and generals it seems to have been a time where Thracians made up a large part of the army and prominent in court (promoting their own companions). Much like Germans were in the west (and Illyrians earlier), but a lot less talked about. Looking at the story of the rise of Justin I (like Leo he's also known as the Thracian) we can postulate that the region of Thrace/Dacia/Moesia/Dardania fell on hard times because of raiding by ostrogoths and huns and this poverty pushed the citizens to the capital to seek their fortune, where they found themselves suited to imperial bodyguard and military roles. This is also the last group of emperors that spoke Latin day to day instead of Greek, because those provinces were Latin speaking Maybe it's covered in the video, I haven't watched yet

constantine the great was from the western balkans (where illyrians used to live). so not thracian

[@ill-albanoi]

constantie was illyrian by origin not thrac

The location of the Thracian mounds in many places in Bulgaria are an exact copy of the starry sky, with the size of each corresponding to the brightness of the star it depicts.

[@Karabulut96]

a misleading miniature because the Thracians had light hair and eyes

cool

It's true! Greeks documents.

When ever I watch one of your classical era or early/mid-medieval era, it puts me in the mood to play one of the many Total War games

[@aland.9060]

I wouldn’t call Thrace “where east meets west”. Asia Minor is more like that believe. When you consider that place replaced multiple times by eastern and western civilizations throughout history, thus resembles cultural features from both worlds. Perhaps you thought that’s the case in some time period in history for Thrace and stated that in the context of that period, I’m not sure.

[@KingsandGenerals]

This is a metaphor. It doesn't really need some kind of scientific explanation.

[@albanianshqiptar]

Great video! Can you make one about illyrians?

[@ireofdesire7269]

The Pomaks are not a separate ethnic group, they're just muslim Bulgarians. Some of them identify as Turks due to their religion and religious customs.

[@TrooperDan_262]

They are not simply Muslim Bulgarians. Muslims marry Muslims as a result heavily mixing with the Turks.

[@vonzuchter]

@@ireofdesire7269 we have Pomaks in Greece too. They are local people who adopted the islamic religion and as a result they have intermixed a lot with the Turks.

Love me some Thracians. Cool hats, Cool swords.

Awesome to see. I'm very interested in East meets West among the Indo Europeans. Cheers.

The official mtDNA data about taken DNA samples from "Bulgarians", "Proto-Bulgarians", "Thracians": a) 13 "Proto-Bulgarian" mtDNA haplogroups, 8-10 centuries, Silistra region (Nozharevo necropolis), Shumen region (Mostich monastery), Satovcha region (Tukhovishte necropolis); Nesheva 2015, p. 18: H1t1a1, U3, J, H1r1, J1b1a1, HV1, T2, H2a2a1, H13a2c, H5, H2a2a1, T, H1a2 b) 25 Thracian mtDNA haplogroups, 2nd-3rd millennium BC, Sliven region (Shekerdzha + Gabrova mogilas/mounds), Starozagorska region (Bereket mogila/mound); Nesheva 2019, table 2: - Table 2 Sequencing and mapping summary. J1c, U5a1a2b, HV1a'b'c, K1c1, U5b2a1a1, N1b1a1, H3ak, H5a1a, H7a1a, H7, U4c2a, T2b, I2, J1c9, N1, T2e2a, HV0, K1c1, K1c1, T2b, J1c6, K1c1, H5b, H76a, H4a1 The leading geneticist Desislava Nesheva, gives details in an interview from 2018: "the Thracian samples are from the 3rd millennium BC, we even had 2-3 samples that we further dated with carbon 14, which we found to be from the 5th millennium BC. The Proto-Bulgarian samples are from the 8th-10th century." / in Tabl. 2 of her 2019 Nature publication, the 5th millennium probes were not published, included / c) 2018 Iain Mathieson, "The genomic history of Southeastern Europe", DNA from 204 individuals from Southeastern Europe, from which I tabulated more than 44 mtDNA samples, for comparison with others. (*I can not attach a screenshot or link here) d) In the official study led by Sena Karachanak-Yankova from 2013, on page 75, where the mtDNA haplogroups of 855 tested present-day Bulgarians are presented in a table, almost all the mtDNAs described for the Thracians above are present: J1c at 49 out of 855 Bulgarians U5a1a2b branch no, but U5a is in 37 out of 855 Bulgarians HV1a'b'c branch no, but HV1 is at 2 of 855 Bulgarians K1c1 branch no, but K1 is in 45 out of 855 Bulgarians U5b2a1a1 branch no, but U5b is at 20 of 855 Bulgarians N1b1a1 branch no, but N1b1 is in 6 out of 855 Bulgarians H3ak branch no, but H3 is in 8 out of 855 Bulgarians H5a1a and H5b branches no, but H5 is present in 29 out of 855 Bulgarians U4c2a branch no, but U4 is in 33 out of 855 Bulgarians T2b branch no, but T2 is in 54 out of 855 Bulgarians I2 branch no, but I is in 10 out of 855 Bulgarians J1c6 and J1c9 branches no, but J1c is in 49 out of 855 Bulgarians N1 is at 22 out of 855 Bulgarians T2e2a branch no, but T2 is in 54 out of 855 Bulgarians HV0 is at 32 out of 855 Bulgarians Conclusion: The "Proto-Bulgarian" samples are half the number of the Thracian ones and about 4 times less than those chosen from Mathieson, and yet: 1). 4 "proto-Bulgarians" are totally identical to 9 Thracians. 👍 2). 11 out of 13 "proto-Bulgarians" are identical to 35 of Mathieson's samples from the Balkans (17 Bulgaria + 1 Macedonia + 6 Greece + 3 Serbia + 4 Croatia) + 3 Romania + 1 Germany, out of more than 44 mtDNA samples. 👍 3). If the samples from the early medieval Bulgarians and the ancient Thracians had been more numerous, even more haplogroups and, accordingly, even more matches would have been found, but even from the small, meager number that the geneticists have presented, it can be seen that the "proto-Bulgarians" in the female line are originating from this region (Balkans) and are identical to the Thracians, only that these specific details are spared from the media appearances, but are available in the scientific publications themselves. 👍 4). However, it can be seen that with the meager number of 13 people, 4 of them match 9 Thracians from D. Nesheva's own samples + even more matches between Bulgarians 8-10c. and the ancient Mathieson samples + even more matches between the 855 present-day Bulgarians from 2013 with all 25 Thracian samples, which is completely indicative that we are the same people, from a different time range. 👍🙂

The sound effects are a little much in this episode. The constant whoosh noise as things appear gets grating. It might be the mix or just how frequent it happens. Otherwise another fabulous video!
