    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.
  • I feel like I hear about the Thracians in about every video regarding Roman and Greek history, but hardly ever any details of their culture.... until now! Thanks @KingsAndGenerals
  • @Dogmanofthewest
    I never actually knew how much I wanted to learn more about Thrace. You guys are the best. You’re in my top 3 history YouTube channels
  • Thrace is the most underrated tribal and geographic region of antiquity. What do you get when you combine Hellenic, Balkan, and Dacian intermingling? The fact Alexander the Great wouldn’t invade Lydia/Asia Minor without some in his army shows just how valuable they were.
  • @peterdale2247
    NOOO I just finished my dissertation on the Thracians and now you decide to release this. Can't wait to watch guys
  • @Sm0kerza
    Hey guys, I am Bulgarian and I've been looking for a video like this for a very long time, thanks so much for making it and it was super informative and unbiased. Having a look at the bibliography - there are definitely a lot of sources to go on and read about. Keep smashing it!
  • @htak2010
    The art in this episode is outstanding! Thanks for continuing to present us with top notch content.
  • @vodavictor1404
    I would encourage you to make a video about the Dacians. They left a deep mark on the Roman Empire... They were the only ones that had an entire forum built to celebrate the roman victory over them (during Trajan).
  • @BuddyWudzyn
    Man, one of my favorite topics of history. Thank you so much for putting this out! When I was a kid I remember always being so curious about what was going on in all the regions while the teacher and textbooks would only follow one cultures journey through time
  • @Gen.berseker25
    Finally the Thracians! Did you know? That the Eastern Roman emperor Justinian the Great and his general Flavius Belisarius were probably of Thracian origins!
  • @infolover_68

  • @ThorDog16
