Information about archaeological finds in Bulgaria
The news is that some massive ancient stone
anchors have been found in the Black Sea near Sozopol, suggesting by their shape that they were used by Mycenaean,
Phoenician or Carian ships during the 15th-12th centuries BC, i.e. much earlier
than generally accepted. Also
in the Sozopol area, a temple
dedicated to Demeter and her daughter Persephone has been located. It is near a
monastery complex from the 14th century known as St. Apostles and
20,000 Martyrs. In the same city, the long-sought East Gate of Apollonia
Pontica has finally been found. Scientists hope eventually to recover the
entire fortification system of the ancient city.
