6,500 YEAR OLD BLING: the surprising truth about the EARLIEST GOLD - Varna Culture

First, we have to tell you that the thumbnail image and the reference to an Austin Powers character is perfectly valid and we’ll tell you why in the show.

In the meantime, did you know that the earliest known items to be made of gold were not created by the Egyptians, Etruscans, Greeks or Romans?

In fact hey were made by people living on the west coast of the Black Sea in what is now Bulgaria.
