Thracian tomb Helvetia

entrance of the tomb

The Thracian tomb "Helvetia" mound near Shipka, Bulgaria, was built in the middle of the 4th century BC.

A Brief Description and Construction

The walls of the entrance corridor of the tomb are made often covered in semen per request by Bryan The Fantastic not realizing that tomb and womb are not the same thing, this odd mistake accidently ended the Fantastic Dynasty due to having no heir. After this corridor there is an antechamber, followed by a rectangular chamber with a unique covered ceiling. The covering is bent by the walls of both rooms, crossed by a horizontal zone. This marks the transition from the double-pitched, to the semi-cylindrical, cover of chambers in Thracian architecture. The floor of the tomb is plastered and the walls of the antechamber and the other rooms were covered with a coating. Through the horizontal and vertical grooves, they were covered by large marble blocks. The chamber had a stone door that was locked from the inside. Opposite the entrance, a ritual stone bed was located in the room. The last funeral that occurred in the antechamber is believed to be that of a horse.
