Some old note

[edit]

Ghirlandajo, the current version which created in (why did you call it "cleanup"?!?!?!?) is flawed. First of all, it says that the greeks opened colonies and started to do commerce with the Dacians, Celts and Scythians. Well, by the seventh century BC, the celtic invasions hadn`t even started, so you not only removed the part which talked mentioned the celtic invasions, but the edit containes serious anacronism, albeit that the bulk of the celtic invasion of 279BC didn`t actually went to the eastern Balkans (hence by mentioning of the celts as "inhabitants" you are kind of streching it), but to south, where they created a temporary kingdom by conquering and overlaping the Oddrysian one, and from where the later went to Anatolia - Galatia). As for the Scythians, in the 7th century they had just started to appear in the Middle East, and only later, in the 5th century they appear heavily in Greek sources, and not in Scythia Minor. As for the Dacians, the best term would be thracians. The greeks, based on the resemblence of language and culture with the people whome they knew are called "Thracians", and whome they knew from Thrace which neighboured Greece, concluded that the population they encountered are Thracians. Only later do these thracian tribes start to be differentiated, and the term "Getae" (Dacians) appear (which were sometimes called, guess what... yes, scythians).
