    TYPO ALERT!!!
    At 1:35 I wrote the Trajan bridge was built in 1903. It was really built in 103.
    If you listen to the audio, I’m halfway through the sentence ‘the bridge was built 1900 years ago.’ Somehow I combined these two sentences. Fail.
    Anyway thanks for watching

      Would you mind sharing *which drone model you've got?* I need to purchase a drone for another youtube channel related to extreme sports and I'm not sure which one is the best under 3000 romanian lei (under $600). *I think DJI Mini 2 Drone is the best drone I could find under $600.* And I wouldn't have to register it since it's weight is less than 250 grams.

    I have to say this: the Dacians were not barbarians by any measure of the word.
    The Dacians were the people that lived here 2000 years ago and they were protecting their country from the invaders, the Romans, who wanted to get the gold, silver and other important resources that existed plentiful in the area. Sarmisegetusa Regia (the real capital of the Dacians) only fell because of a betrayal and Decebal took his own life because he knew if he were captured, he's be humiliated by the Romans. The Romans almost completely erased it (as it was built in the mountains) and created Sarmisegetusa Ulpia Traiana in the lower lands, so it wouldn't be as easily defendable.
    Also, before Decebal, another big leader of the Geto-Daco-Thracians was Burebista, who was another badass leader of Dacia before the time of Christ. He was able to unite all the scattered tribes of the area in one big powerful country. Great Dacia contained areas of (aside from current Romania): current Bulgaria, Ukraine, Republic of Moldova, Hungary. He was one of the first Dacian leaders to fight against the invasion of the Roman army.
    The Dacians had an impressive culture, built cities especially in the mountains, knew how to properly work with gold, silver and other precious metals, were great merchants, were quite religious (Zamolxis was the main deity) and were very welcoming with anyone visiting them.

    OK, Steve, you should know by now that going faster than a Romanian train is not such a big deal. When it comes to trains, Romanian Railways tend to take things reeeaaaally slow 😀. Great video, once again (actually the videos are better and better every time) !!! Fan-facts about Decebal's statue : It' s not finished , this is not the final look, it's about 60% done (actually I kind of like it like this, rough, blended with the nature). The nose is the second draft - first version became dangerously unstable so they had to dynamite it. It took more than 10 years, a team of 12 sculptors - alpinists, more than 1 million dollars, paid by an amateur historian, (not Romanian authorities) - Iosif Constantin Drăgan ; the inscription at the base says in Latin: DECEBALUS REX - DRAGAN FECIT (King Decebal - made by Dragan). Right on the opposite side of Danube, on the Serbian part, there is a 2000 yo antique memorial plaque: "Tabula Traiana"(4 by 1,75 meters), risen by Emperor Traian to celebrate Romans' victory against Dacians - and the story is told on the Traian's column in Rome.

    Hello beautiful people, as so many wrote more complete information about the Dacian culture, I am not going to add anything except this: "The word "barbarian" came from the word "Barbar" which means people who have a big beard, or better said, the beard people. Since the Roman empire was, a very interesting culture, most of the depictions of their culture show faces and statues of men without any beards, For them, Dacians were barbarians because all most all had beards. Different culture for Romans as they used nearly everything that today you can find in Walmart, perfumes, powders, and sophisticated types of oil, from all over the conquered world. Fashion is also another cultural difference since Dacians were traditionalists. There are many to say about this but, one more thing, the Roman empire didn't conquer all of Dacia, only 12% of it. Emperor Traian knew Latin and also knew the language spoken by Dacians which was slightly different. He didn't need a translator when he had to talk with Dacian people. That says a lot about those times, and Traian really appreciated Dacians and Decebal as their king. Last thing to add, aside from that there are many people with the first name Decebal. The name Decebal in the old Dacian language means this, BAL, is the name of a bear. This is what they called bears and DECE, is number ten. Now, if you put them together, DECE+ BAL you got DECEBAL, which means a man with the power of ten bears. I apologize for my long dissertation, but I thought it is nice to share this with you. Have fun and enjoy your life guys.

    It was not a barbaric king, even in the ancient Roman manuscripts the country was refers as “The Kingdom of Dacia”.
    The country had a capital city, hundreds of tons of gold, etc, they even had water pipes bringing water from far distances, the Romans didn’t conquer the capital city just by battle, they cut the water supplies going into the city.
    King’s Decebalus treasury was estimated at 165 tons of gold and about 330 tons of silver, the Romans found the treasury in the river Sargesia (modern river Strei).
    The gold and silver combined in that treasury was worth about 3.9 billion sesterces or roughly 6 years worth of the entire military budget of the Roman empire.

    1. The only alive person I know who's name is Decebal is this famous Romanian journalist, also a Rapid fan, Decebal Radulescu.
    2. Yes, Dacians were using coins and bread and other recipes. Actually, legend has it that the main attraction for the Romans to invade Dacia was fabulous gold reserve the Dacians owned. As a bonus, the Romans also discovered the Dacian beautiful women and delicious food. Next time, you have to make sure you visit Sarmizegetusa Regia, the capital of Dacia.
    3. As side note for every good person who's about to visit that area, especially the wilderness there, be aware of the vipers! If you're a bad person, don't worry, there are no dangers and you may roam bearfooted. :)

    Romans used the therm barbarian to describe any other people than romans. Barbarians were considered uncivilised, but actually it wasn't the case for all of them. When we speak about dacians, they were organised, they had cities, a king and a lot of evidence shows that they were pretty advanced. This is why romans conquered Dacia in such a long time. Besides that, romans were proud with this victory wich is considered the most important one (trajan column, arc of triumph with dacian soldiers, dacian sculptures in Vatican). So, they were so proud about conquering a tribal country!? I think not.

    The barbarian stereotype that was encouraged by the Romans still lives on to this day. However the Dacians were a settled people, they had towns and fortresses (a few ruins remain to this day), they had a capital at Sarmizegetusa (the ruins can be visited), they built roads, they mined gold (a prime reason why the Romans invaded), practiced agriculture and wine making. The Dacian Kingdom was a powerful entity at the time of Cesar and its king, Burebista, threw his support behind behind Pompey in the Roman civil war. At this time Dacia had conquered the Greek city states on the shores of the Black Sea (Tomis, Histria, Callatis) and it is said that Burebista could muster an army as large as 200,000. This figure is high for this era of antiquity and is disputed, though what isn't disputed is that the kingdom was a rich and influencial entity at the turn of the first millennium.

    Just look up dacian gold and see for yourself what barbarians ( men with beards) did. Also, dacians were thracians, just not in the Roman Empire , a lot of roman eperors were thracians, really not barbarians in the sense you are insinuating, they were the same people separated by the Danube. Northern thracians (dacians) were not in the Roman Empire, thus barbarians. To be exact, the closest living language related to what ancient thracian people spoke is albanian because they resisted romanization up in the mountains, we have a lot of cognate words with them. Are they barbarians to you? Because they clearly weren't then, they were in the Roman Empire.

    I am not even Romanian myself and I notice the big mistake u guys made it in this video by calling the Dacians and their King Decebal barbarians. That my friend is far from truth because the Dacians that fight against the Roman EMPIRE even wining few times they have been very advanced people expecially for that time. Facts The Dacians knew about writing.Permanent contacts with the Graeco-Roman world had brought the use of the Greek and later the Latin alphabet.It is also certainly not the case that writing with Greek and Latin letters and knowledge of Greek and Latin were known in all the settlements scattered throughout Dacia, but there is no doubt about the existence of such knowledge in some circles of Dacian society.] However, the most revealing discoveries concerning the use of the writing by the Dacians occurred in the citadels on the Sebes mountains. Some groups of letters from stone blocks at Sarmisegetuza might express personal names; these cannot now be read because the wall is ruined, and because it is impossible to restore the original order of the blocks in the wall. 😉👍

Since you love sports events, you simply must not miss the basketball game of K.K. Partizan Belgrade in the Euroleague, where you have 20. 000 people in the sports hall cheering loudly, something unique in Europe and probably in the world. Also last time, you had one important task left to complete, which is to judge which city has a better barbecue, Niš or Leskovac. And to confirm or deny whether Serbian food is still in the top 2 foods in the world along with Malaysian food :D. Also, in addition to that, I would wholeheartedly recommend discovering the natural beauties of Serbia, reka Uvac (river), fortress Golubac, fottress Smederevo, Đavolja Varoš (Devils town), Stara planina, Mokra Gora (mount's), Palić lake. Мedieval monasteries built by our holy kings, with unique frescoes in Europe, Studenica, Mileševa, Žiča, and on Kosovo Dečani, Gračanica ...

    Decebalus` Dacia was full of gold and gold coins. This was the reason the romans wanted to conquer Dacia. Unfortunately, the gold they took from dacians brought luxuury and ruin and corruptions and inflation, because it was too much. You can visit a roman gold mine in Transylvania. It is said Traian's ancestors came from these lands of Dacia. Also, the romans called/named barbarians all the non-roman states from the north of them. Also, "barbar" means "barbat" or "human male".

      Actually, barbarian is what the Greeks called the Romans, meaning non-Greek-speaker. Just like neamț=mute/can't speak Latin. The Romans adapted it. There are many statues of Roman Emperors with beards. It was just more practical to cut it as a military leader/soldier and Romans were the definition of practical. They didn't even have time to create their own gods, they just imported Greek gods as they were and then the Hebrew god.
