German Archaeology News and Fun

Bulgarian Gold Find

Thanks to Norvegicus Lupus for the following story which was originally posted in the Germanic Links thread.
"Yahoo News has the article Bulgarian archeologists have treasure comparable to that of Troy. Bulgarian archaeologists have found 15.000 golden objects made by an unknown community circa 5000 BC. The community exported gold in a very large scale to the central parts of Europe, the Balkans and Anatolia. It started with a farmer, who found a golden necklace, and later 15000 golden objects have been unearthed. Earlier, one thought that the golden objects were produced in Troy. However, the objects were made in Bulgaria.
