Thracian Tomb of Kazanlak - UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Thracian Tomb of Kazalak is a fascinating and unusual UNESCO World Heritage site in Bulgaria. It's the tomb of a Thracian nobleman and his wife - possibly king and queen, but that's quite uncertain. It dates from the 3rd century BC, and is richly decorated. Unfortunately the original tomb is closed to visitors for conservation reasons, but thankfully for us there's a full-sized replica!

I do not claim ownership of the pictures and music in the video. I upload it only for educational purpose.
Thracian tombs and sanctuaries are representatives of monumental religious architecture of the ancient Thracians. In Bulgaria there are over 60,000 such tombs and only 100 of them are studied. The biggest concentration of such tombs is in Bulgaria, which indicating where was the center of the Thracian culture. A round tombs found in the territories of present-day Bulgaria, Northern Greece and European Turkey - territories of ancient Thrace. They appear from 5th century BC and are used until the end of antiquity – 4th century AD. They were built of stone blocks or bricks. Example of a round tombs are the tombs in Kazanlak, Mezek, Strelcha, Starossel, Alexandrovo and others. The main reason for their preservation to the present day is that almost all of them are buried in mounds. The tombs was a spiritual place of the buried in them. According to Archaeologist Prof. Georgi Kitov Thracian tombs represents a memorial to the funeral. This tradition comes from ancient times when died citizens were buried in common graves and the graves excavated earth which has accumulated a small mound on the top. Gradually to distinguish the graves of noble citizens and heroes and kings Thracians began to bulk larger mounds which appeared as bigger tombs-temples of the buried in them. Sometimes royal burials took place in the existing temples and then after the funeral the temples were covered with soil. Example of funeral like this is the royal funeral in the tomb of King Sitalk in the temple-tomb of Starosel.
Аcording to Herodotus “Wealthy citizens are buried in the following way. They show the dead one for three days after it had previously complained and sacrificed any animals they began to feast: then (they) burn it (the corpse) or bury it without burning it in earth mound embankments and govern competitions of any kind where the biggest prizes are awarded respectively for combat. This is how Thracians make their funerals…”
