Speedy becoming the Bulgaria blog.
But this is beautiful.
A Bulgarian archeologist shows a golden wreath of laurels, discovered late Saturday by his team while working working on excavations near the village of Zlatinitsa, some 290 kilometers (180 miles) east of the capital, Sofia Sunday, July 24, 2005. Archaeologists have unearthed a 2,400-year old golden treasure in an ancient Thracian tomb in eastern Bulgaria. The Thracians lived in what is now Bulgaria and parts of modern Greece, Romania, Macedonia and Turkey from 4,000 B.C. to the 8th century A.D., when they were assimilated by the invading Slavs.
It will be on display at the National Museum (Sofia) when we're there.
