Scientists are puzzled and cannot find a specific name to define the ancient domed tomb near Bulgaria’s coastal town Pomorie. It became popular among the locals as the "hollow mound" because the tomb was carefully covered with earth, like the mounds left by the ancient Thracians. The excavations began at the end of the 19th century when the Czech archaeologists Karel and Hermann Škorpil visited Anhialo /this is the ancient name of Pomorie/ to describe the local antiquities. They made the first sketches of the place and with their publications acquainted the whole world community with this interesting archeological monument.
