/View.info/ Let me make one correction first. We don’t think it was found on private land, and we prove it. The land was nationalized in 1957, and the golden treasure was discovered in 1949. In 1949, this place was owned by Georgi Nedkov Topolov, who was an ordinary Panagyurite.
This is how two of the heirs of the Deykovi family from Panagyur, whose ancestors discovered the Panagyur gold treasure in the late 1940s, began their story on BTV today.
“That is, it is a private person, that is, it was found on private land. And we have nothing to do with it. Our grandfathers, digging clay for making bricks, found the Panagyur gold treasure by accident on this private land of his. According to the Antiquities Act, which was an action from 1911 to 1970, everything that is found on a private land is the property of the finder and the owner of the place”, pointed out Plamen Tsvetankov.
“In order for the state to acquire it, the following must happen. It must be appraised and bought back by the owners who discovered it. That is legal. But what happens? It turns out that this treasure has not been appraised for the past 63 years … It was entered illegally in Plovdiv, as they do not have the transfer protocols to prove that they acquired it legally. In 1974, Ludmila Zhivkova issued an order according to which it should come here to Sofia in the Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.. This order was never carried out, as it turns out that this treasure was never brought to the Institute. 6-7 or 8 years this treasure disappeared documented completely. 1982 was created National Museum of History and this treasure is entered in its inventory books, as a “temporary use item”. However, it turns out that it is entered with different inventory numbers and, strangely enough, different sizes. And the original ones are described in Book no. 1 of the Regional History Museum-Plovdiv in 1949. But the fact that they were described then does not mean that they were described legally. There is no handover protocol,” the heir emphasized.
“We claim that for 32 years NIM-Sofia has been illegally managing this property,” Tsvetankov said to the cameras.
However, the head of the historical museum in Plovdiv, Kostadin Kisiov, countered it, announcing that this dispute is not being resolved by archaeologists, but by rightists.
“The brothers handed over the treasure to the state for a fee and there are documents for that,” he said.
However, the heirs replied that the money was given as a reward, not as a redemption of the treasure.
