The Thracian Valley of the kings in the region of Kazanluk

Abstract

The Kazanluk valley is located between the two great mountain ranges in
Bulgaria: the Balkan Range and the Sredna Gora Mountain.
In 1992, a large scale tumuli investigation started in the region, which
soon justified the position of the valley as one of the most important centres of
Thracian culture and its definition as Valley of the Kings. Over 50 tumuli
were excavated, where 7 tombs, dozens of significant grave constructions and
more than a thousand objects of museum value were discovered.
