Encontrada una daga de oro del 3.000 a.C. en una tumba traciaSOFIA (Reuters) - Una daga de oro que data del año 3.000 a.C., junto con otros 500 adornos del mismo metal, fueron encontrados en una tumba tracia en la región central de Bulgaria, anunció el domingo un arqueólogo.
It is the latest find from one of many tombs believed to have formed the cradle of Thracian civilisation. The dagger, made of an alloy of gold and platinum, was found near the village of Dubovo. Bozhidar Dimitrov, head of Bulgaria’s National Museum, told Reuters news agency the discovery was "sensational". It is the latest in a string of finds in the area in recent years which has excited archaeologists and has provided more details of the skills of the still mysterious Thracian civilisation. According to officials at the museum, the dagger is 16cm (6in) long and is sharp enough to shave with. More than 500 other miniature gold items were found in the same tomb. The detail on the dagger suggests that it was used for sacrificial purposes. Bloodthirsty The Thracian civilisation thrived on the edge of the ancient Greek and Roman empires in what is now Bulgaria, Romania, northern Greece and Turkey, and is believed to have lasted up to 4,000 years. The historian Herodotus described the Thracian as savage, bloodthirsty warriors and provided a description of the elaborate funeral procedures for their rulers. Other finds in recent years include a gold mask, an ancient Thracian temple, a crown and thousands of items of jewellery. The alloy used in the latest find suggests a far greater degree of sophistication in metal-working that was previously known for that period. "This significant find confirmed that people in this region were familiar with what was then high technology in metal processing," Mr Dimitrov told Reuters.

Archaeologist unearthed the artifacts in an ancient Thracian complex near the village of Dabene, and suggest that the people who crafted the 16-centimeter gold dagger (unseen here) and the 500 tiny golden rings, were ancestors of the Thracians, who inhabited the lands of present day Bulgaria and parts of modern Greece, Turkey, Macedonia and Romania between 4,000 B.C. and the 8th century A.D. when they were assimilated by the invading Slavs.(AP Photo) A unique Thracian dagger of gold was found by archeologists in central Bulgaria.
