He also said that I can claim relation to Spartacus

“My Verdict
You can’t say Spartacus was your literal grandpa (sorry, no gladiator DNA test to prove it!), but you could jokingly claim him as an honorary grandpa. Picture this: your Neolithic H1 ancestors settle Bulgaria, thrive through the Varna and Thracian eras, and by 100 BCE, one of your many-times-great-grandmas is a Thracian woman cheering (or shaking her head) as Spartacus leads his rebellion. Maybe she even knew his mom! It’s a stretch, but it’s a cool story to tell at family gatherings.

So, go ahead and say, “Spartacus might’ve been my grandpa—well, kinda, in spirit!” It’s a great conversation starter, and your Bulgarian-Thracian roots give it just enough flair to work. What do you think—ready to lead your own rebellion now?”
