The Shvestary village is situated in the Sboryanovo Reserve in the north-east of Bulgaria. The Thracian Tomb, dated to 300 BC, was discovered on this territory of an ancient religious centre in 1982. The interior, consisting of three chambers, includes splendid decoration depicting 10 female figures -- caryatids and a polychrome on the walls. Extensive examinations of the site have focused on the ancient building and art tech niques, assessment of the tomb's condition and the selection of the optimum conservation methods. Selected results of these examinations are presented. The main preservation measure was construction of a permanent air-conditioned protective building over the tomb, securing a controlled environment.The 'minimal intervention' approach was used in the handling the interior decorations, restricted to cleaning operations and reintegration of the broken fragments. Due to this 'passive' approach the tomb has retained its authentic appearance. So far, the results are positive for the more than twenty years that have passed since the tomb was found. The Sveshtary Tomb in Sboryanovo Reserve The Sboryanovo Reserve is situated in the north-east of Bulgaria. On this territory there is an ancient religious centre and many Thracian hills with graves and tombs which were organised into a necropolis in the Hellenic period, 300 BC. In this place, the Thracian Tomb has been the most sensational discovery of the last 20 years The tomb is situated in the south east part of the Guinina Mogila. Its outer dimensions are 767cm x 667cm. It consists of a passage (dromos)leading to a building. In the building there are three chambers: an anteroom, a side chamber and a centraltomb chamber). The construction was builtof limestone blocks. Three types of limestone were used: a hard, monolithic variety as block stone for structural building work, a medium hard stone for the inner walls and architectural details and reliefs, and a soft, lighter variety for construction of an upper part of the tomb.The interior includes splendid decoration depicting 10 female figures -- caryatids (Figure3). The central chamber is decorated with a polychrome, a drawn scene on the arched part of the north-west wall. The tomb is a cultural monument which has been placed under the protection of UNESCO. Condition at the time of discovery in 1982 The Thracian Tomb has survived under the hill mound for 2,300 years. Over the course of time, the fluctuations in temperature and humidity were very slight, and degradation progressed very slowly

Yes. I know it is Little Scythia. The Pontic area, North to the Black sea" was the Big Scythia. Wherefrom Dobrudja are you? My mother is from The Valley of the Thracian kings, also called the "Valley of roses". More precisely from Kazanlak.
there is thraians everywhere, but they live first is here this is god's land - so stop the stupid talking - if someone is thraian he must prove it , this is all , believe in tangra |Y| why bulgarians not post comments only you stupid earth people are burning your small brains - what is this what you see in the video??? things wich you will never find how they work !!!!
Continuing... nr. 2 - Conserning Western names, usually they copied it from Balkan, Europe and Asia especially Americans. For example there is also Montana in North-Western Bulgaria. Europeid is replaced with Caucasoid. Alexandria, Pitsburg, New Orleans, Phoenix, Annapolis, Manchester, etc, are copies. Nothing is coincidental. It is about adoption.
- I was thinking for a while, and I would like to add sometning. I know that officially there was no concrete migration of Albans to Balkan. But in fact, there was migration. Proto-Bulgars migrated from Caucasus and are still here since the 4th century. As far as I know, the word Albania is adopted later.
Continuing... These Leaders and their inherited SHARE went their own way and did whatever they had to do. That is, the same people could disperse and make own States, etc, on their own. They also fought each other in wars. Family wars!
Continuing... We are not talking about different people. In old times, the sons of a father/leader received/inherited a certain amount of people who would follow the new leader. The oldest son used to get the biggest horde of people, the youngest got smallest part of his people, etc.
- Scythians and Thracians were not different people, becase they belonged to same family. We can talk about different tribes and clans. One example: Alans, Khazars, Scythians, Sarmats, Cumans etc, were same people, but different Clans. These were initially personal names: Alan, Khazar, Scyth, Sarmat, Cuman. The followers (hords) of these leaders got the common name of their personal names.
- Lol, todays census is not any proof of ancient history. First of all, before the Ottoman invasion most of Romania - especially the coast at the Black sea belonged to Bulgaria. A small part of Dobrudza was just returned back in WW2,after Romanians have moved there. Turks also moved to Bulgaria. The southern Bulgaria is full of Turks. It means not that Bulgaria was initially Turkey. Secondly, people moved forth and back during Ottomans and all people are not living on their original land.
