Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari is an intriguing UNESCO World Heritage site in Bulgaria. It's a tomb, probably a royal tomb, from the Thracian period of Bulgarian history - around 300 BC, before the Roman conquest. Not much remains from this period, so it's fascinating to see this history close up and in detail!

Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Thracian Tomb of Kazalak is a fascinating and unusual UNESCO World Heritage site in Bulgaria. It's the tomb of a Thracian nobleman and his wife - possibly king and queen, but that's quite uncertain. It dates from the 3rd century BC, and is richly decorated. Unfortunately the original tomb is closed to visitors for conservation reasons, but thankfully for us there's a full-sized replica!

UNESCO & Bulgarian World Heritage - Sveshtari Thracian Tomb
Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari
Discovered in 1982 near the village of Sveshtari, this 3rd-century BC Thracian tomb reflects the fundamental structural principles of Thracian cult buildings. The tomb has unique architectural decor, with polychrome half-human, half-plant caryatids and painted murals. The 10 female figures carved in high relief on the walls of the central chamber and the decoration of the lunette in its vault are the only examples of this type found so far in Thracian lands. It is a remarkable reminder of the culture of the Getes, a Thracian people who were in contact with the Hellenistic and Hyperborean worlds, according to ancient geographers.

Starosel is known for the abundance of ancient Neolithic and Thracian sites, with some finds dating as far back as the 5th-6th millennium BC. Evidence from 20th-century excavations reveals that the village burgeoned into an important and wealthy Thracian city in the 5th century BC.
Among its main features are the underground temple, the largest of its kind in the Balkan Peninsula, built under the Chetinyova Mogila (tumulus) and a mausoleum. The temple, as well as the nearby Thracian king's residence under Mount Kozi Gramadi, likely date to the reign of Amatokos II (359-351 BC).
Thracian Tombs In Bulgaria
I do not claim ownership of the pictures and music in the video. I upload it only for educational purpose.
Thracian tombs and sanctuaries are representatives of monumental religious architecture of the ancient Thracians. In Bulgaria there are over 60,000 such tombs and only 100 of them are studied. The biggest concentration of such tombs is in Bulgaria, which indicating where was the center of the Thracian culture. A round tombs found in the territories of present-day Bulgaria, Northern Greece and European Turkey - territories of ancient Thrace. They appear from 5th century BC and are used until the end of antiquity – 4th century AD. They were built of stone blocks or bricks. Example of a round tombs are the tombs in Kazanlak, Mezek, Strelcha, Starossel, Alexandrovo and others. The main reason for their preservation to the present day is that almost all of them are buried in mounds. The tombs was a spiritual place of the buried in them. According to Archaeologist Prof. Georgi Kitov Thracian tombs represents a memorial to the funeral. This tradition comes from ancient times when died citizens were buried in common graves and the graves excavated earth which has accumulated a small mound on the top. Gradually to distinguish the graves of noble citizens and heroes and kings Thracians began to bulk larger mounds which appeared as bigger tombs-temples of the buried in them. Sometimes royal burials took place in the existing temples and then after the funeral the temples were covered with soil. Example of funeral like this is the royal funeral in the tomb of King Sitalk in the temple-tomb of Starosel.
Аcording to Herodotus “Wealthy citizens are buried in the following way. They show the dead one for three days after it had previously complained and sacrificed any animals they began to feast: then (they) burn it (the corpse) or bury it without burning it in earth mound embankments and govern competitions of any kind where the biggest prizes are awarded respectively for combat. This is how Thracians make their funerals…”

The Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari discovered in 1982 in a mound, this 3rd century BC Getic tomb reflects the fundamental structural principles of Thracian cult buildings. The tomb's architectural decor is considered to be unique, with polychrome half-human, half-plant caryatids and painted murals. The ten female figures carved in high relief on the walls of the central chamber and the decorations of the lunette in its vault are the only examples of this type found so far in the Thracian lands. It is a remarkable reminder of the culture of the Getae, a Thracian people who were in contact with the Hellenistic and Hyperborean worlds, according to ancient geographers.
In 2012, archaeologists uncovered a significant treasure near the village. The treasure included a golden ring, 44 female figure depictions and 100 golden buttons, found in 150 tombs from the 4th century BC. It has been suggested that it is part of the site of the Getan city of Helis
Свещарската гробница е разкрита през 1982 г. при разкопаването на високата Гинина могила край село Свещари. Представлява тракийско-елинистична гробница от първата половина на III в. пр. н. е. Това е царска гробница, в която вероятно е погребан гетският владетел Дромихет. Изградена е от гладко обработени каменни блокове от мек варовик.
Свещарската гробница се състои от коридор и три квадратни камери: преддверие, странично помещение и гробна камера, покрити с полуцилиндричен свод. Входът е украсен с колони с йонийски капители, а над тях лежи плоча с релефен фриз от стилизирани волски глави, розетки и гирлянди. Стените на гробната камера са оформени като колонада с колони, долепени до стената. Блоковете под свода се поддържат и от 10 кариатиди (женски фигури). Те са застанали с вдигнати ръце и са високи по 1,20 м. Облечени са в дълги, ситно надиплени дрехи без ръкави, препасани под гърдите с коланче. Краят на дрехите е силно подгънат и оформен като обърната чашка на цвете. Къдравите им коси се спускат надолу по раменете, а на главите си имат своеобразна кошница, наречена калатос. Косите, лицата и дрехите са били оцветени, запазена е тъмнокафява боя по тях. По статуите на кариатидите и по нарисуваната в люнета под свода сцена се разбира, че нито скулпторите, нито художниците са успели да завършат работата си. Тези детайли показват, че владетелят, за когото е била предназначена гробницата, е починал внезапно. Ръцете на някои от кариаридите са издялани грубо, а рисунката е очертана само с черна креда.
Встрани от входа на помещението вероятно са били поставени дарове и жертвоприношения. Всичко, направено от скъпи метали, е разграбено още в древността. За богатствата, затворени в гробницата, говорят откритите кости на пет коня, посечени тук, за да придружават господаря си в отвъдния живот. В гробната камера са открити две каменни легла, човешки кости и гробни дарове. До едно от леглата е изправена скулптурна фасада на умален храм. Всичко това показва, че е предстояло обожествяване (хероизация) на покойника – владетел. Ритуалът по обожествяването е представен горе на полукръглата стена под свода на гробната камера. Тук владетелят е на кон, следван от двама оръженосци, а срещу него е богинята, която му подава златен венец, следвана от четири жени с различни дарове в ръцете. В погребението е открита и латенски тип келтска фибула, въпреки че всички останали елементи на погребалния обред са характерни за Тракия – стъпаловидната гробна яма, трупоизгарянето, погребаното по характерния за гетите обичай лежащо върху камък куче с отрязана глава.
