Weak laws

Seuthus' crown and cup, which were dug up from his tomb, are proudly displayed in a local museum.

It was an incredible discovery, and the treasures have toured the world.

But Dr Georgi Kitov, the archaeologist who found them, believes the Bulgarian government must work harder to stop illegal digs or risk losing its priceless heritage.

Kitov said: "There is a law but it is being broken. The government need to make a serious law forbidding illegal digs and if people find artefacts, they must be encouraged to hand them in to the museum for a reward.

"Bulgaria is a poor country, the government doesn't have the money to invest in history and culture, so many artefacts are being sold into foreign collections and no one knows they even originated from here. They are stealing our past."
