"a find they say matches the famous treasure of Troy"

I've read that the Troy find by Schleimann was the largest gold stash ever found.

[Tax-chick]

Cool. I wonder what the point of little tiny rings was.

Golden Fleece?

Check out Nick Cage in......NATIONAL TREASURE.

From Bulgarian tradition, Sofia was an Egyptian queen, and her treasure is hidden somewhere in this country.

Thanks Blam. A lot of those gold coins found in the Trojan treasure turned out to be prophylactics. Someone was going to say it, might as well be me. The treasure found by Schliemann was a good-sized hoard, and was grave goods dug into one of the oldest levels from Troy 4 or 5.

Cremation and inhumation under a mound -- sounds like the ancestors of the Phrygians, possibly, or earlier migrating relatives of the Scythians perhaps. Also, I'd guess that this tomb isn't anywhere near that old, probably more like 3000 years old or less.

King Tuts golden sarcophagus weighed a couple of thousand ponds if memory serves me.

I’m surprised any gold is left . I read that the noble Roman Biggus Dickus raped Thrace Thrice.

Maybe the Bulgarian Archaeologists can dig up the dead link.
