Varna Eneolithic Necropolis - the birth of Civilizations

The Varna Eneolithic cemetery was found by accident in the autumn of 1972. The cemetery is dated from 4600 - 4300 BC and was created by a society, today known as the Varna culture, that buried its leaders with many weapons and ornaments, including stunning quantities of gold.
Interest in this unique burial site is due the abundance and the variety of grave gifts, especially the gold artefacts which number more than 3000 and whose total weight exceeds six kilograms.
Such a concentration of gold artifacts has not been recorded elsewhere in the fifth millennium BC. The weight and the number of gold finds in Varna cemetery exceeds by several times the combined weight and number of all the gold artifacts found in all excavated sites of the same millennium, 5000 - 4000 BC, from all over the world, including Mesopotamia and Egypt!
