The Thracian states emerged early, but they can be traced only after 5th – 4th century BC. The structures created before the names of the royal-priestly ruling dynasties: Bessi, Triballoi, Getae and Edonoi. According to Herodotus, the Thracians were the most numerous people in the world after the Indians, but they never managed to unite in one state. During the 5th – 4th century BC, the kingdom of the Odrysae stretching in the lands between the Black Sea, the Danube and the Rhodope Mountains became most powerful. The ruins of its capital Seuthopolis are near the present-day town of Kazanluk.
Other sites include the Horizont tumulus (pictured below), where the only known Thracian temple featuring a colonnade (a Doric one) is located, as well as 9 other tumuli in the surrounding area.
