The Thracian tomb revealed a couple of days ago in the outskirts of Shipka Peak is probably dating from the times of dynasty founded by Seutus III.

According to the head of TEMP 2004 expedition Georgi Kitov, the gold-treasure-hiding mound was built for about six months and subsequently completed with the temple engraved inside.

The artifacts belonged to the ancient Thracians, who lived in what are now parts of Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Turkey and Greece, and are thought to date to the 5th century BC, according to archaeologist Georgi Kitov on Tuesday.

His team came across three chambers in a large tomb in the Valley of Thracian Kings in southern Bulgaria. The mound gave out its intact treasure of scores of gold, silver and bronze jewels as well as crafted ceramics, including three big wine amphoras, many of which had posed sensation to modern researchers of Thracian history.

The tomb is equipped with a marble door on the second chamber decorated with a female head and the God Apollo.

One of the artifacts stirring most curiosity is a vessel garnered with a black-man-imaged head.

The Thracians left no written account of their history and traditions so archaeological finds are the only window to their world.
