Archaeology Watch: Golden Loot in Bulgaria

There's been more treasure found in Bulgaria.

Bulgarian archaeologists have unearthed a huge haul of golden royal jewellery dating back around 4,000 years to the Thracian civilisation.

It is the second major find of treasure in Bulgaria announced in recent weeks.

In July, archaeologists discovered the treasure-filled tomb of what is thought to be a Thracian king near the south-eastern town of Zlatinitsa.

Excavations of other burial mounds in the country have also uncovered hoards of gold.

Cool.
