A team of archaeologists led by Veselin Ignatov, of the Istoricheski muzej Nova Zagora, a museum in Bulgaria, discovered the 2,000-year-old wooden chariot in 2008. It was covered in bronze and would have been decorated with scenes from [Thracian](https://www.livescience.com/39730-spartacus.html) mythology that are now difficult to see. Its exact age is uncertain and may be closer to 1,800 years old.Â
In 2009, Ignatov and his team also found a brick tomb, containing the remains of a man dressed in what appears to be armor, near the chariot. The man was buried with several items, including gold coins, gold rings and a silver cup showing a depiction of the Greek god Eros (the Roman equivalent was Cupid). He would have been a nobleman or possibly even a ruler who lived in ancient Thrace, in what is now Bulgaria.
That’s super interesting. I’ve never heard of Thracians before. Or at least I don’t remember. But, I come from German heritage and Spartacus was Thracian according to Google. An artistic war tribe. That’s really cool.

I am not a doctor, but it seems the horses are slightly dead.

It seems that the chariot left a Thrace.

Who else thinks this is the first cyborg
Maybe it’s just an ancient wheelchair for horses.
