Golden dagger unearthed in Bulgaria
Archaeologists have unearthed a 5,000 year old dagger and more than 500 other gold items in central Bulgaria. The artifacts shed new light on ancient Thracian civilization.
The gold and platium dagger is in remarkable condition, and still retains its edge. It probably belonged to a high priest. The past two years have been extremely productive for Bulgarian archaeologists. Less than a month before, archaeologists unearthed a unique, 50-item collection of 2,400-year-old Thracian riches, including a golden wreath with an image of the Greek goddess Nike.
