Thracians - One Beautiful Mystery

My nickname is a thracian name,the song inte clip are national bulgarian rhodope snong.Thracian tombs can be found dating back to 3000 BC.By the 5th century BC, the Thracian presence was pervasive enough to have made Herodotus call them the second-most numerous people in the part of the world known by him (after the Indians),and potentially the most powerful.The Thracians in classical times were broken up into a large number of groups and tribes, though a number of powerful Thracian states were organized, such as the Odrysian kingdom of Thrace and the Dacian kingdom of Burebista. A type of soldier of this period called the Peltast probably originated in Thrace.The archaeological research of the Thracian culture started in the 20th century and especially after World War II, mainly on the territory of Southern Bulgaria.As a result of intensive excavation works in the 1960s and 1970s a number of Thracian tombs and sanctuaries were discovered. More significant among them are: the Tomb of Sveshtari, the Tomb of Kazanlak, Tatul, Seuthopolis, Perperikon, the Tomb of Aleksandrovo, Sarmizegetusa.On August 19, 2005, some Bulgarian archaeologists announced they had found the first Thracian capital, which was situated near Karlovo in Bulgaria.In November 2008, Archaeologists unearthed a well-preserved 1,800-year-old lavishly ornamented four-wheel bronze chariot at an ancient Thracian tomb near the south-eastern village of Karanovo in Bulgaria.In Dabene, Bulgaria, a cache of more than 15,000 gold Thracian artifacts were discovered, including thousands of rings.In August 2006 a sensational archaeological find was made near the village of Dubovo. A Thracian dagger made of an alloy of gold and platinum, sharp, and in perfect condition, was found in a tomb near the village of Dubovo.A settlement, most probably related to Perperikion, was located close to the village of Dragoynovo near Iskra. This religious complex is one of the many sacred places, established by the Thracians on high mountain peaks.The Iliad records that the Thracians from around the Hellespont and also the Thracian Cicones fought on the side of the Trojans.The Odyssey records that Odysseus and his men raided Thrace on their way back home from war. Many mythical figures, such as the god Dionysus, princess Europa and the hero Orpheus were borrowed by the Greeks from their Thracian neighbours.In book 7 of his Histories, Herodotus describes the equipment of the Thracians fighting :

"The Thracians went to the war wearing the skins of foxes upon their heads, and about their bodies tunics, over which was thrown a long cloak of many colours. Their legs and feet were clad in buskins made from the skins of fawns; and they had for arms javelins, with light targes, and short dirks.

You are really pathetic ΑΛΒΑΝΕ!...YOU HAVE NO GREEK D.N.A, IDIOT!...GREEKS ARE THE OLDEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!... . Based on mathematical calculations, estimated that the DNA of Greek origin is as follows: 8% in recent years (about 3,000 years from now), 20% during the Neolithic period (9000-3000), 44% in the last upper Paleolithic era ( 14500-9000), 14.5% on average over the Paleolithic era (26,000 to 14,500 years) and a 11% in the original upper Paleolithic era (45.500 -26.000) OUST NOW!

@nixter888 Египетски Дардански роби.

Еврей от Дановото кояно.

Акустирали през 1523 пн.ера в Аргос.Като пирати котито само грабили и убивали.

Това сте вие гърците.Бивш Египетски роби присвоили тракийските вярвания и традиции.

Просто сте едни нещастни гърци с измислена и фалшифицирана история.

Дори и азбуката ви е тракийска.
