The oldest gold treasure of the world, recovered from the earth as late as 1972, was found neither in Mesopotamia nor in Egypt - the native lands of the earliest known civilizations - it was found, much to everybody' surprise, in North-East Bulgaria - near the attractive modern city of Varna, Bulgaria.
IT DATES AS FAR BACK AS MORE THAN 6000 YEARS. About 2000 gold objects /necklaces, bangles, pectoral adornments, big pottery plateÂ…/ with total weight of over 5,5 kg were found. In this edition you'll find the studies of the authors and a unique catalog of the 245 most interesting treasure's objects with small illustrations and description.
