And not many people who used Greek-style arms and armour were burying it in the earth or sinking it in water by the third century BCE. So there are fewer finds, and if you are not Greek or Bulgarian you have to learn about them in a second language.
Oh yeah, the infamous German papers. There's so many times where i had interesting leads on topics and was happy to find a good paper only to realize only the abstract was in English and all else was German. Sadly even all the world's translating softwares can't do much
