Bulgaria unearths Thracian riches

Archaeologists in Bulgaria have unearthed the treasure-filled tomb of what is thought to be a Thracian king.

A golden crown, ring, armour and other artefacts dating back 2,400 years were found with the skeleton in a tomb near the south-eastern town of Zlatinitsa.

National Museum of History director Bozhidar Dimitrov said the Thracian king was a young ruler who was buried with two horses and a favourite dog.

Excavations of burial mounds across Bulgaria have unearthed similar finds.

1. Oh great
We'll be invading Bulgaria next for their treasures.
If I were anywhere in the world, I'd keep my silverware hidden from this merry band of thieves.

2. The finds are so beautiful!
Everything looks like it was in such good condition. Well, except the king. ;)
