@KingsandGenerals how do you make your maps? The one in the recent Caesar video seems really well made.
@@Autconscipatheonive Photoshop and After Effects
@@KingsandGenerals What do you think about making a video about the tocharian people?
Hey King ! Can you do a video of diplomacy of Byzantine and ottomans?
I was the one who requested from you to make a video for Chandax modern day Heraklion Crete
Thank you, however I will continue to allow data brokers to expose my personal information.

Not once, not twice but Thrace.
Nope
Yes, Mr. Burns
@@KingsandGeneralsyes, dude.
All we need now is a video on the dacians.
Not sure how mach there is to tell about the Dacians, since the Romans ceased them off existence in such a stunning and effective way, though depressing!
@@user-rk8dm7ve6r We go with what we have.
@@user-rk8dm7ve6r Wrong mate, only few of more 50 tribes of dacians were subdue ( with tracians and getae is more 200 tribes with average army of 2-5000 warriors of each tribe ,bigest ones number over 10 000.fighters)
I can picture the comments from insane romanians now...
@@MrDomitian source?
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.
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.
Unfortunately their language is almost unknown, but is thought to have been related to Albanian
@@everettduncan7543 I'd reckon it was perhaps related to Dacian as well, about which we know equally little despite what some Romanian historians would like to claim. As for Proto-Albanian, I like to think it was a mixed Illyro-Thracian language, or perhaps Illyrian with a Thracian and later Latin adstratum to it.
@@sramanakarya The communists, it's always the communists. Didn't knew this but not surprised.
@@nikolakorbuc3286 For what it's worth, an Illyrian tribe called the Albanoi by the Greeks was present in the territory of modern Albania, and the Messapic language, a known descendant or dialect of Illyrian, looks an awful lot like Albanian. Interestingly, Dacia like Thrace did come to follow Zalmoxism, suggesting their languages were related. Known Dacian words include botanical terms, none of which were borrowed into Romanian
@@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.
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
Same.
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 UA-cam channels
Hi, mind sharing the other 2 channels?
@@harithmustaqim7758 of course, it’s historia militum and Epic History
Invicta!
And historymarche is good too
Bazbattles too
Finally the Thracians! Did you know? That the Eastern Roman emperor Justinian the Great and his general Flavius Belisarius were probably of Thracian origins!
Half Thracians. They also probably be half Illyrian.
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
Probably doesn't make certainly. His parents could be of any ethnic origin residing in those areas. Unless you have proof.
they were illyrian
@@ERMALARAPIYour proof being ...?
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!
Bulgarians are mixed with native balkan people as other south slavs...they are Thracian as any other balkan nation..
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).
A video like this on the Illyrians would be awesome too
I just want to know if they're really related to the Albanians
@@SA2004YGit is, just search up any random Illyrian tribe or peoples and you will find under the name that the Albanian language is always compared with the name.
@@SA2004YGapart from the language (those few words that we know today are explained through albanian) the dna proves it. Just check the latest studies on the dna and you have the prove
@@SA2004YGthe name Albania itself derives from the Illyrian tribe of Albanoi, which were mentioned by Ptolemy in the 2nd century AD, along with their central settlement Albanopolis.
@@SA2004YG
and you would believe the upload?
DNA Haplo group proves it
not an UA-cam upload
NOOO I just finished my dissertation on the Thracians and now you decide to release this. Can't wait to watch guys
It's OK. You probably couldn't have cited a UA-cam video as a source on your dissertation anyway. 😅
The art in this episode is outstanding! Thanks for continuing to present us with top notch content.
Thanks!
Finally 🎉 was expecting the Thracians since a long time
So many fascinating cultures that are overshadowed by the more dominant ones. Really glad to see this video and more about the lesser known peoples of the ancient world.
Love these videos on lesser talked about ancient civilizations
Where are the Albanians in the comments that claim everything that streches from the adriatic cost to the black sea?
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@neamnervi😂😂😂😂😂
Licinus was a Daco-Roman and Galerius had a Thracian father and Dacian mother.
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
just finished it! Amazing as always!
A bright light on the history of the mysterious Thracians, thank you very much!!
part of my family is from northern romania thank you for making this
Dacians next please
Thank you!!! So few videos about the Thracians on UA-cam, hope you do more!
Our Phrygians were also Thracians. Greetings from Turkey to all history geeks.
Yes Dardanelles were Phrygians.
I had the impression Phrygians were located on the northern side of Anatolia (Turkish peninsula)
@@Klimbo93 They migrated from Thrace to Anatolia and became a mixture of Balkan and Anatolian cultures.
Indeed , before you genocide and them also
But turks are 1000 years later, in this time they weres in Central Asia! 😂
The blu snek people from Rome Total War
Thanks for covering my favorite people of antiquity.
A video about the Illyrians would be great ❗️
Thank you for another good video
Amazing show guys. Excellent
Awesome! Love you are doing the people that part of tapestry of the ancient world but were not the most talked about. Keep it up!
Nice timing after the newest archeological findings about Plqto and his opinion on the thracians
Really good, thanks K&G Team
Can you do a video on the Illyrians and a video on the Greco-Persian kingdom of commagene and its priest kings
working on the first one. second one is much more difficult, we'll see
Nice. The only thing I know about Commagene is this epic stone relief where the king is shaking hands with gigachad Herakles himself
This video is a masterpiece - it captures the essence of the topic perfectly.
One of the best history documentaries series on UA-cam. Keep up the great research.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
thx always for make videos for us ! love this way to teach history ! for many many more vids !!
Great vid! Love hearing about some of the lesser-known states and peoples of antiquity!
idea : the history of the achaemenid empire from it's foundation, the events before and after the greek persian wars, the conquest of egypt, the delian league's campaigns into it, and the it's final days before its conquest by alexander the great.
seconded
Sounds like a whole series. Should be cool!
That was a great video, I give it two thumbs up 👍👍
Thracians made for good gladiators and good rebels.
Spartacus among them
Also, good Roman Emperors. Thrace produced more Roman Emperors than Italy.
And very good warriors to! The problem was that they fought each other all the time!
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things
Thank You, I love these types of videos
Great video, I'd love to see one on Dacians !
Excellent video on a topic that doesn't get nearly enough attention! Thanks!
Wow. Great video. Great job!
I very thoroughly enjoyed this video.
great video, as usual
The historical content is so good and meaningful, please continue to promote your creativity to have more quality content
Kudos. Fascinating.
Awesome 2 see a video about thrace such a interesting group in history
Always excited to see a new video on Thrace.
Love these videos on ancient peripheral civilizations that were overshadowed by thier well known contemporaries
Great video!!
Love you guys!
I think in general is very well put video. Good gob.
Very informative❤
Dude i love these people group/cultural videos
Fantastic stuff
I've been a regular viewer of the channel since the Skanderbeg video in 2018. Your videos never fail to amaze me. Thank you for the great content!
P.S.: Hopefully Illyrians next. 😁
Thanks
Thank you for this! Often, when listening to ancient history content, I see Thrace and hear it mentioned, but I haven't really known much about it beyond the name and general cultural area. Have you guys done an episode on the Lydians?
God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
I love your videos that cover a historic people group. The Thracians were awesome!
Great video
Great video, now we need one on the Dacians please! :D
Great subject for a historical video :d
I hope you do a video on Elam some day! It seems so interesting but it's incredibly hard for me to find much on it

you lost your mind !
All of them Dardania ,Illyria
Thracians Refused to join
Illyrians against Roman invaders
then Thracians mixed with Slavs
and today thracians speak Slavic
@@ginaibisi777😊😅😂
It continues to be a wonder for me.
Thank you, from the oldest inhabited city in Europe and Thrace - Evmolpia/Φιλιππόπολις/Pulpudeva/Trimontium/Puldin/Plovdiv.
finally!! thank u
*You guys should do a part 2 to this explaining about the Bulgars and ending after Bulgarian gained independence from the Ottomans.*
Didn't expect to hear "high frequency trade" in an ancient-culture video essay. I guess, as a wise man said, everything is relative. Ty for the excellent content to everyone involved.
Great video! Can you make one about illyrians?
PLEASE, a video about the tocharian people and the oasis state!!!!! Thanks you!!!
Loved it!!;-)
Battle videos are very interesting. More, more battles needed, like for this video
It is widely accepted that Dionysus was originally a Thracian god that got merged into Greek
Of course!!!
Please create a video about Champa* and the Cham-Khmer wars. Good video 📹 👍.
U guys are awesome
I think Balkan history is fascinating... So ancient a cross road of cultures and people's... Thanks for video
Thracian treasures deserve a video themselves.
Excellent hats.
I was really curious about trace and gepids
Thank you for shining a light on one of the most fascinating European groups.
@KingsandGenerals could you create a video about the History of the Dacians - Ancient Civilizations DOCUMENTARY
@KingsandGenerals could you create a video about the History of the Illyrians - Ancient Civilizations DOCUMENTARY
This video is 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 watching the Spartwcus series, so now Im here! The thracians are very fascinating. I wish the thracians wrote more about themselves. The dacians, too. I find them mysterious as well. 😢
Great ad intro
Make a video on Galatians - the Celts in Anatolia.
Please make a video on Chola Empire (Imperial Cholas)
I always wondered where Spartacus was from
@KingsandGenerals how do you make your maps? The one in the recent Caesar video seems really well made.
At 7:42 it says Greek "Sity" States on the map. 😊
Stoked! My fave ancient peoples. Hardly anybody does work on the Thracians. Actually anything north of Greece and East of Illyria in the Classical period seem to be an academic Bermuda Triangle of sorts. High 5! Cheers.
On the contrary there are many Bulgarian historians and archeologists, who specialize in Thracology. We owe to them the discoveries and the studies and much of the information that was in this video.
Love how you gave them the same color theme as they have in Rome Total War lol
Bon video! By the way Do your have any plan for made video about phrygia?
Thanks! At some point
Love the channel.
Campaigns was spelled incorrectly.
Thanks!
Love this. Can you also do a video about the entire history of the Illyrians and what happened to them?
Make a video about Illyria like this one
