Bulgarian archaeologists have unearthed an ancient Thracian tomb during excavations near the village of Cherniche.
Sofia, Sept 18 : Bulgarian archaeologists have unearthed an ancient Thracian tomb during excavations near the village of Cherniche.
The team of Georgi Nehrizov, a specialist in Thracian history and culture with the Bulgarian Archaeology Institute, stumbled accidentally on the tomb.
According to a Sofia News Agency report, the two metres long, 1.8 metres wide and two metres high sepulchre is dated back to the 4-3 century BC, and it is completely intact, along with the two-slope surface of the walls.
The report said the antechamber was, however, destroyed by treasure hunters, who had probably tried to penetrate the tomb with a digger.
Specialists from the Archaeology Institute have now started arriving at the spot to make further research and discuss how to best preserve the finding.
