Prehistoric Thracian Cult Complex

An aerial view of a prehistoric Thracian cult complex at Durankulak Lake in the North East of Bulgaria, which dates back some 7,500 years in Durankulak, Bulgaria, on 13 March 2018. The settlement, known among specialists as the Dobrudzha Troy, is located on the Big Island in the Durankulak Lake. So far this is the only fully researched archeological site from the time of Trojan War on the Balkan Peninsula. Researchers have described the Palaeolithic settlement as "possibly Prehistoric Europe's largest stone building". Archaeologists working on the site have found traces of about 1400 graves. It once covered an area of over 200 square metres, although this could rise to 400 square metres if archaeologists prove that it had two floors. The researchers said that the structure collapsed because of an earthquake but were able to identify a kiln which was in use for 80 years. (Photo by: Petar Petrov/Impact Press Group/NurPhoto)
