Thracian Tomb Favored by UNESCO A horseman and an attendant armed with a club are depicted on one of the colourful murals in the Alexandrovo tomb. The ancient Thracian cemetery is older than the Kazanlak one and is also favored for the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage.

An ancient Thracian tomb located in southern Bulgaria is favored by UNESCO for its world cultural heritage monument.

The international group of researchers who visited the ancient place on Saturday was impressed by the unique quality and the good preservation of the murals still shining in their original colours.

The unique Thracian tomb was found by a Bulgarian excavation team end of last year. This is the second tomb - after the Kazanlak one - with mural frescos dating back to IV century B.C.
