Bulgaria holds many mysteries, among them, the Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari discovered in the early 1980s. The rare tomb near Sveshtari, Bulgaria was found by explorers inside a mound covered in grass.
The Thracian Tomb dates back to the 3rd century BC. Behind a modern entrance, you’ll step through to the original interior and inner chamber. It is utterly unique with its 10 female sculptures carved into the white stone walls. They are half-human and half-plant. This is the only example of this type of Hellenistic style in the Thracian lands.
The Thracians were considered a cult culture with very little written historical records. Perhaps this tomb will provide some insight into their beliefs.
