3000-4000 year old chariot found in Serbia
#1
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.

Very interesting - thanks for posting.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!

You don't find those everyday. Very interesting indeed.
