Herodotus said: "Thracians are the largest community on Earth, second only to Hindus people, they could defeat anyone if they ever unite, but that's impossible (due their nature)"
He also mentioned that they live from present day Bulgaria all the way to Northern Sea, and that they predate Hellenes.
Some Thracians have been assimilated into Hellenic World (those living in Roman Empire) etc.. while others... continued living their primitive lifes up to 1600's
Problem with their identity is due to Hellenic Concept of History where Everything must be 1. identified 2. hellenized 3. written in hellenic form. Since "Slavs" or "Thracians" did not write
things down, their ancient history is lost.
Some others believe that Thracians are only Romanians and Balkan people i.e. True Slavs, while Russians for example are Slavicized Steppe people etc...
It's really DARK area of history, it's impossible to be precise.
MY DNA is 70% of 1250 B.C. Pannonian Plain Ancient citizen, so we are obviously native to Pannonian plain.
