Another interesting thing this time in TR: " Archaeologists working on an ancient Thracian site in Tekirdað said on Monday they have unveiled part of an ancient city named Heraion Teichos, which is thought to date back to 2000 B.C. The excavation team of Mimar Sinan University's Archaeology Department has been working to unearth the ancient city, located near Tekirdað's Karaevli village, for the last six years. Head of the excavations, Associate Professor Neþe Atik, told the Doðan News Agency on Monday that they were the first team to conduct the excavation of a Thracian site in Turkey. Sources of information on the Thracian civilization are very scarce, according to Atik. “Looking at the remains we unearthed from the region, we believe this area was a health facility around 2000 B.C., when Thracians inhabited the region. As a result of the excavations, we saw that they were very successful in producing golden and silver accessories, pottery and textiles,” she said. Atik stated that some 477 ancient coins and numerous historical remains had been handed to the Tekirdað Museum. “Considering the fact that numerous pieces of imported pottery from the fifth and third centuries B.C. were unearthed during excavations, and that the city had a huge fortress, we can understand that Heraion Teichos was a wealthy seaport city,” she added. Atik said they were hoping to get more information on the lifestyle of Thracians in upcoming excavations and that they were also aiming to open the ancient settlement site for tourism." www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1668589/posts

This one is really impressive! Yes, Phrygians were branch of the Thracian ppl. These kind of Thracian mounds are very common in BG.

And why you just don't explain "Heraion Teichos"? It doesn't mean anything in Bulgarian. Thracians used to trade with Hellenes - and hellenes used to give "greek" names to almost all they could see around - towns, settlement, people names etc. I hope you don't make the mistake to claim Thracian culture (Troyans or Phrygians..) - as Greek.

We don't really make mistakes on who our ancestors were... it's not so easy for us to wake up everyday and chose who we think they might have been...
