Pirot – During the protective archaeological works, carried out in parallel with the construction of Corridor 10, archaeologist Zoran Mitic found the remains of beautifully decorated chariot, assumed to be aged between 3,000 and 4,000 years and to have belonged to a Thracian from the elite of the time.

According to Mitic, this an unique and extremely important item, which he found near the village of Stanicenje.

“This is a chariot, drawn by two horses. My assumption is that the chariot belonged to a Thracian citizen,” Mitic told Tanjug.

He said that this is backed by the fact that, at the location where the chariot was found, was also found a tumulus – a tomb.

“Judging by the manner of burial, I guess that it was a member of Thracian people, not ordinary, but someone who occupied an important place in the hierarchy, due to the fact that the chariot is decorated with beautiful bronze applications,” he said.

Considering the earth is 4.5 billion years old, this stuff seems nearly new.

If ya want to see real old stuff, pick up a rock...look at some soil, look at the lunar surface....

When I was reading the replies, I thought someone would have said that Woody Allen movie when he found that old VW in a cave.

No comments about it belonging to Helen Thomas? You guys are slipping!

***Be careful of the Salvage Title. Looks like a floodwater vehicle to me. ;-)***

Run it down into Arkansas! You can, for $50, get an absolutely clean title that and the car salesman will say it was ONLY driven by an elderly lady to church on Sundays.

“Sleeper” — it’s a more sophisticated version of his earlier “Bananas”, but may have been just a setup for that banana peel gag. :’)
