You're standing at the Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari, a couple of kilometres outside the village of Sveshtari in northeast Bulgaria. At first glance it looks like an ordinary hill. But this is a burial mound, one of many in the area. Archaeologists call it Mound Number Seven. They dug into it in 1982, and what they found was so special that the tomb is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
