Aleksandrovo kurgan

The Aleksandrovo tomb is a Thracian burial mound and tomb excavated near Aleksandrovo, South-Eastern Bulgaria, dated to circa 4th century BCE.

Bulgarian archaeologist Georgi Kitov examined the tomb in 2001, discovering a round chamber of about m to ft|3 in diameter, accessible through a small antechamber and a tunnel, approximately m to ft|6 long. 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.
