Dragan, J. C.[ Iosif Constantin] : We, the Thracians and Our Multimillenary History: Volume One

Nagard Publishers, Milan, 1976

Iosif Constantin Dragan .. was a Romanian and Italian businessman, writer, historian and [billionaire] also a publisher."According to historian Lucian Boia, Dragan promoted an extreme version of protochronism, which claimed that the Romania was the cradle of civilization, and the Romanian people the oldest in Europe: As the author of We, the Thracians (1976) and editor of the periodical of the same title (Noi, tracii) that was launched in 1974, he was the leading figure of an entire movement aimed at amplifying the role of the Thracians in European history, a movement supported by all sorts of amateurs (even a lawyers' group!) but also by some less than scrupulous professionals (among them the archaeologists Dumitru Berciu and Ion Horatiu Crisan)... to claim that the ancestors of the Romanians lived 100,000 years ago, eloquent proof that the Romanian people is the oldest in the continent, if not in the world. As for the extent of the Thracians' territory, Dragan generously allows them almost half of Europe, centered, evidently, on the present-day space of Romania" Note : Volume I ONLY.274p. plates maps.
