Additional Information

Are you familiar with icons like Orpheus and Spartacus? Join us as we delve into their roots and immerse ourselves in the era when the Thracians held sway over the lands of Bulgaria!

These individuals resided on the Balkan peninsula for over 1600 years, absorbing and disseminating wisdom and religious practices with the neighboring settlements and tribes that passed through their territories. Known for their prowess in warfare, many of them served in different armies and rose to the rank of generals. Some distinguished themselves as formidable musicians. Their influence permeated Greek and Latin mythology but curiously vanished once Christianity was declared the official religion of the Roman Empire.

Today, the remnants of their affluent legacy can be observed in archeological finds - their caches of wealth, holy sites, and burial grounds, which they believed were portals to the netherworld.

Let’s uncover the enigmatic existence of the Thracians and piece together the missing fragments of this historical jigsaw puzzle!
