An ancient mask with an “alien face” dug up in Bulgaria

Many have heard about the prehistoric traces of aliens in Egypt, they allegedly helped build the pyramids or they themselves built them. And recently it turned out that they may have also visited Bulgaria.

Bulgarian archaeologists have been conducting excavations for several years in a prehistoric place called the Salt Pit, which is not far from the same ancient settlement of Provadia in the north-east of the country.

Provadia is the most ancient city in Europe, or, according to other sources, one of the most ancient. It was founded over 6 thousand years ago. Since 2013, archaeologists have discovered here traces of two-story buildings, high defensive walls and religious buildings.

Provadia was a wealthy city that mined and traded salt with distant regions. And the inhabitants of Provadia adored gold – archaeologists have found more than 3 thousand gold artifacts. It is believed that the world’s first gold jewelry was made here.

During the current archaeological season, Bulgarian archaeologists have unearthed a very curious object. It is believed to be a ceremonial mask that depicts a mythical creature – most likely a deity.

However, many saw in the features of the mask a great resemblance to the well-known images of aliens – large almond-shaped eyes and a strange head shape. The “mask” is made of baked clay and has small holes on the sides of its upper part, probably for ties.

There is a version that this artifact was not a mask, but an amulet and was worn on the chest during religious ceremonies.
