The “Golden Man” from 6,500 years ago

When we think of gold artifacts, the first image that comes to mind is likely the golden mask of Tutankhamun. However, an artifact known as the “Golden Man,” created 3,000 years before the mask, was discovered in the popular resort city of Varna, Bulgaria. This discovery has captivated the attention of archaeologists worldwide, revealing that a sophisticated golden culture had flourished along the Black Sea coast 6,500 years ago.

It wasn’t carved from wood or hammered out of stone. During the Neolithic and Bronze Age, long before those times, there was already a “Golden Man” crafted by melting gold. The deeper we delve into the roots of civilization, the more astonishing facts we uncover. Everything is interconnected with the human spirit and art, and just like gold that remains unaltered, we learn that its essence remains unchanged.
