Aleksandrovo kurgan

The Aleksandrovo kurgan is a Thracian kurgan excavated near Aleksandrovo , South-Eastern Bulgaria, dated to ca. the 4th century BC. Bulgarian Archaeologist Georgi Kitov examined the kurgan in 2001, discovering a round chamber with a diameter of ca. 3 meters, accessible through smal antechamber and a tunnel of a length of ca. 6 meters. Both antechamber and main chamber are decorated with well-preserved frescoes. The fresco in the main chamber depicts a hunting-scene where a boar is attacked by a mounted hunter and a naked man wielding a double-axe. The scene is interpreted as mythological, the naked man representing Zalmoxis, the Thracian solar god corresponding to Zeus.
