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.

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.

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
