Bulgarska Trakia
Thracian burial mound waiting for some crazy IMANYAR with a bulldozer to rip it off. Most Thracian treasures are found in Thracian burial mounds like this one. All Thracian tribes built tombs and temples throughout their lands. It is estimated that their number on our l land is around 80-100 000! In the Kazanluk area alone there are more than 500! Only about 70 have been excavated and researched. Probably several hundred more were swept clean by the IMANYARI.
.................
In 2004 an expedition of the Archaeological Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, led by Dr. Georgi Kitov discovered what he believes is the burial tomb of the mighty Thracian king Sevt III (or Seuthes), who ruled his kingdom in the IV c. BC. The tomb is located just South of the town of Shipka under a hill called Goliamata Kosmatka or the Big Hairy Hill. The whole region North of Kazanlak in central Bulgaria was not surprisingly dubbed by the media "The Bulgarian Valley of the Kings", given the numerous royal tombs found there (see the map on the Tombs&Temples page). The area is also North of Sevtopolis -- the capital of Sevt's kingdom. This setting with the location of the tombs and their arrangement in the foothills of the Balkan mountain
