    The mystery behind treasures of an ancient European kingdom found with African faces on them

    in African History


    It’s no surprise to find ancient African monuments decorating the stands of museums all over Europe instead of Africa. During the raid of Africa by the west, many treasurable artefacts made of gold, iron and bronze were looted and not returned. Today, many African countries are calling out the West to return what rightfully belongs to them.

    One such story making the headlines is Emmanual Macron’s recent promise to see to it that Africa gets its monuments back from French museums.



    While all that is interesting to note, what is more intriguing is the fact that faces of Africans can be found on the monuments that belonged to the Thracian ancient group that is now part of Greece and modern Turkey. A close look at the images on the monuments cannot be mistaken. Roundheads with the afro hair and thick features are definitely the depiction of Africans(Please note, Africa is a diverse continent with around 3000 tribes or ethnic groups and 54 countries so don't espect every African to have these features which unfortunately many people don't recognized) by the west in ancient times.


    The Thracians are described as an ancient people that inhabited Turkey and Greece around the 4th -5th century. They were a mysterious group of people popular for their winemaking, jewellery and ornaments and their notorious war-waging.


    Throughout the documented history of the Thracians, there are no traces or mention of their contact with Africans to explain the faces of Africans that appear on their monuments. Perhaps, the Thracians were intrigued by the African image during one of their escapades or travel expeditions. The Thracians were also known to be travellers and explorers but did not have an interest in controlling findings from their explorations.


    Any theory to explain this, Please comment below

    At what time did Tharcian civilization thrive? Perhaps they had contact with "Aethiopians" through Egypt.

    During the Iron Age, Thracians begin to develop and thrive as a civilization. However, the many tribes within the Thracian culture were still divided and self governing. Never managing to form any political symmetry until the Odrysian state was formed in the 5th century BC.

    @The gamer That seems like a tmime frame where it's possible that they had contact with the Kushites
