The Goldens WONDERS of the Bulgarian Archaeology - New Golden Mask of Thracian King Found

Golden mask and silver rhyton for wine were found today by Bulgarian archaeologis led
by prof. Georgi Kitov.
The findings are made at the Thracian mound close to the Sliven village of Topolchene,
announced BNR. The findings are from a rich Thracian grave from IV century BC.
It is supposed that the golden mask is of a Thracian king. For 150 years of archaeology in Bulgaria, this is the second time such a mask to be found in the country, informed Mr. Kitov.
The mask is lighter and less carefully made that the one of Theres, found near Kazanluk.
The archaeologists are yet to clear details about it.
The rhyton represents a head of an animal, probably deer, and is around 30 cm high.
Silver rython, silver cup and bronze vessels have also been found.
The tomb is paneled with wood, there are remains of human skeleton, one bronze vessel and three preserved big earthen amphora. There is a stamp on their handle and after they are cleared it could be determined where they were made.

"Greek mask"??? Greeks are like us - invaders to this lands. This is Thracian mask. Read Herodotus or google origin of the Thracians, thracian language etc.etc.

@nyclatino718203 They are restored and then send to a museum. Under Bulgarian law, all treasures found within the country's territory are property of the state

@lefterhsk1 They are not called 'bulgars'. And they arrived in the Balkans in the V century BC, during the so called Great Migration of Peoples.

To illustrate what I mean - you use different names for Mycenaean and Hellenic, right? Which one is older? When did you start calling your country Hellenic Republic/Ελλάδα?

I'm from Holland and the last three years I visited your beautiful country numerous times and each time again I'm overwhelmed by the beauty and the mystique of your country. The cultural history of Bulgaria is so rich that it surprises me mostly that the people from Western Europe never heard about it.

See you soon Bulgaria!!!

@quickstrike93 bulgars came to this area of nowday bulgaria about 400 AD...so this mask existed 1500/2000 years before bulgars come to this area...it has not any connection with bulgars... hm hm hm for sure it has more connection with greeks hehe :)

[nyclatino718203]

these masks are fascinating! what would happen after the finding? would they auction out these pieces? or sell them to a museum? does anyone know?? i'm curious, because i'm sure there's a lot of money involved in that...

@cerverg Never claimed they are pure. 3.5k years of history and dozens of ethnicities that came through this land (stayed, left or finally being absorbed). How can they be pure? Stereotypical words that indicate your own personal complexes. Never said your nation has nothing to do with the Thracians. However how much Thracian blood do you think is present in the Bulgarian lineage? 0.001% or 90%?As for the malaka thingy, u wrote, I'm gladly returning it to you

[cerverg]

@hellasfilos well seems like Agamemnon shopped at the thracian golden mall

[cerverg]

@Yiannis2112 The nowadays greeks are "pure" ancient greeks right :)))

and of course nowadays bulgarians have nothing to do with the thracians...

such а hypocrisy

why I wonder at all it's typical for a malaka
