Bulgaria-The Mystery of The Thracians The First Civilization. Art, Tombs & gold treasure
7th International Meeting of Archaeological Film of the Mediterranean Area
Athens, 6-11 May 2008
The archaeological research of the Thracian culture started in the 20th century and especially after World War II, mainly on the territory of Southern Bulgaria. As a result of intensive excavation works in the 1960s and 1970s a number of Thracian tombs and sanctuaries were discovered. More significant among them are: the Tomb of Sveshtari, the Tomb of Kazanlak, Tatul, Seuthopolis, Perperikon, the Tomb of Aleksandrovo, Sarmizegetusa, etc.

Also a large number of elaborately crafted gold and silver treasure sets from the 5th and 4th century BC were unearthed. In the following decades those were exposed in museums around the world, thus gaining popularity and becoming an emblem of the ancient Thracian culture. Since the year 2000, Bulgarian archaeologist Georgi Kitov has made discoveries in Central Bulgaria which were summarized as "The Valley of the Thracian Kings".

On 19 August 2005, some Bulgarian archaeologists announced they had found the first Thracian capital, which was situated near Karlovo in Bulgaria. A lot of polished ceramic artifacts (pieces of roof-tiles and Greek-like vases) were discovered revealing the fortune of the city. The Bulgarian Ministry of Culture declared its support to the excavations.

In Dabene, Bulgaria, a cache of more than 15,000 gold Thracian artifacts were discovered, including thousands of rings. In August 2006 a sensational archaeological find was made near the village of Dubovo. A Thracian dagger made of an alloy of gold and platinum, sharp, and in perfect condition, was found in a tomb near the village of Dubovo.

tombs with mural paintings have been discovered near the town of Kazanlak so far. They prove the wide use of art of painting as a detail of inside decoration of the Thracian tombs during the Hellenic period. Undoubtedly the most interesting tomb is the Kazanlak Thracian Tomb.
An important moment for a substantial research of the history, culture and the urban development of the Thracian tribes during the early Hellenic period are the salvage excavations, undertaken because of the building of "Koprinca" dam. An ancient Thracian town -- Sevtopolis is discovered.
Around 6000 years ago, between the fifth and the second millennium B.C., the climate became warmer and the icebergs on the Earth quickly started melting. The water in the oceans and seas rose with 3 meters.
Fewer than 100 are the Thracian undermounded constructed structures in Bulgaria, which are usually called tombs. Fifteen buildings like these are put up in Kazanlak valley.
In the middle of our country, cuddled between the two big mountain ranges Stara planina and Sredna gora, is situated the Kazanlak valley. The land, amazing with its beauty, inebriates with its sweet scents and fascinates with its ancient history.

  • not really. For ...

    not really. For instance the oldest gold in the world found in Bulgaria dates from 4600 BCE. This proves that while there was a civilization in Mesopotamia, there was a civilization in Bulgaria too. How you gonna prove that Mesopotamia is 1st then?

  • Didn't you say ...

    Didn't you say Romanians are Thracians? What now, Thracians or Latins? Or both at the same time??? It doesn't matter who your ancestors were, it's important what you are NOW! What a personality you posses. A small romanian (pseudo)personality. The History doesn't help for your problem. It's an illusion...

    Yes you are right we-the bulgarians are not thracians.But when we came here we found few tribes of the thracians who had survived and now their blood runs in our veins.And so if the thracians have successors we-The Bulgarians are the only one in the world.Thats why we can say Orpheus and Spartak ARE BULGARIANS!!!!!!!

    This video is so racist. They got it all wrong the thracians were not the first civilization; Kemet was. As Dr. Yosef Ben Jochanan stated, Kemet has tombs of people dating back tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of years. And even before that, the oldest skeletal remain were found in modern day Ethiopia.

    The ancient Bulgars belong to the big Iranian ethno-tribal group with origins that can be traced back to the Balhara region in the foothills of Mount Imeon, a territory in present day Afghanistan and most of Tajikistan.The Bulgars, shown as occupying the territory along the northwest coast of Black Sea east of Axiacus River. They arrived on the Balkans in the early 7th century, merged with the local Thracians and the recently settled, Slavic inhabitants to form the first Bulgarian state.
