1, 6 million BGN is granted for the excavation of the largest Thracian mound in Bulgaria

It is suggested that the facilities are related to the Thracian ruler Rhoemetalces II and the members of his family. According to the head of the Archaeological Museum Assoc. Prof. Kostadin Kisiov “Maltepe” is a part of a larger necropolis consisting of around 40 mounds. A smaller mound was found 300 m east of the cult object, where there was a crematorium. The incinerated corpses were laid in “Maltepe”.
