Around the fifteenth century B.C., brave warriors of an equestrian people called Thracians proudly rode the great range (Thrace) to be found in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, in what is present-day Bulgaria. Epics of Homer and Greek myths made them somewhat known, but by and large their life and travail had been shrouded in mystery. After World War II, archaeological finds made it clear what an exceptionally high degree of civilization was attained by these ancient Thracians, who had early formed their own unique tribal society and made contacts with Scythians, Greeks, Persians and other neighbouring nations. Thus it was that the Thracians made their colorful debut, moving out from mythology into the pages of human history. The Exhibition of Thracian Treasures from Bulgaria in Japan brings together approximately 560 objects from some 25 National Museums in Bulgaria, Many of them are wrought in gold and reflect craftsmanship of great value, both artistic and archaeological. Dating from the Pre-Thracian prehistoric times (sixth millennium B.C.) up to the reign of the Roman Empire (the third century A.D.), the exhibition items offer a chronological view of civilizations in this district, Thrace.
