The salt pan near Provadia is truly a unique monument of prehistory not only for Bulgaria and Europe, but also for the world as a whole. ❤️ Here are top #facts you might not have known. Let me share with you just some of them. Did you know that the #Salnitsa #Provadia was the first protected urban center or citadel with stone walls. This is something unheard of in #Europe at the time. Separately, the salt house is the first malting complex in all of Europe! Today, we will embark on an episode with a little more #science and I will tell you the latest #news about the archaeological excavations of the Solnitsa malting complex near Provadia.

Excavations of the Salt Flats began in 2005, and already in the early stages it was revealed that the first people settled in 5600 BC, or about 7600 years ago. The complex consists of 5 parts: a production area where salt was mined, a fortified settlement or citadel where people lived, a pit sanctuary and 2 necropolises. The origin and development of the complex is related to the largest and only deposit of rock salt in Bulgaria and the Eastern Balkans - the so-called Mirovsko salt deposit. Thanks to him, the richest people in Europe of that time lived here and literally produced money.
The society here was tight and with a hierarchy of people, it is believed that they came from the Thracian lowland, perhaps from the Karanovo area, where the infamous seal with a proto-writing older than the Sumerian cuneiforms was found, I have told you about it. At its peak, the permanent population of the town was around 400-500 people. They had developed a technology for extracting the salt and knew its value. In a word, here they printed money and exchanged it for other values and services. These were the richest people in Europe at the time. It is believed that they hired the labor of outsiders from the neighboring tribes to work in the Saltworks, in return they were paid in the form of salt. I.e. here we have paid wage labor, something that was considered impossible in those times. There are traces of their way of life and the food they ate more than 7,000 years ago.
