Maybe you already know this discovery… the news is from 16.10.2013
During the preventive archaeological excavations near the village of Staničenje (Pirot, Serbia), the archaeologists - that were coordinated by Zoran Mitic - found the remains of a decorated chariot.
Assumed to be between 3000 and 4000 years old, Mitic pointed out that it is a unique and extraordinarily artifact that could have belonged to a member of the Thracian elite.
