This year Bulgarian Archaeologists have found giant skeleton remains located of the Black Sea bay city called Varna.

Yotov in the past has suggested that the man has died during work and that they was he was buried with his hand laid on his waist and his body pointing to the east was a clear indication he had a ceremonial burial rites and was buried this way.

Reconstructions of the area are being carried out in Varna, which is bulgarians 3rd largest city and usually called “The Black Sea capital”

The ancient tomb in which the skeletons was found was also discovered during the repair works in center of Varna while the repair team dug up the tomb unexpectedly.

Its approximate location has  actually been known since the beginning of the 20 th century as told by the Bulgarian National Television report.
