Neolithic Dwellings Museum in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria is a museum in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, which contains ruins of two of the oldest surviving buildings in the world.

The Neolithic Dwellings Museum in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria was created in 1979. It is a branch of The Stara Zagora Regional Historical Museum. The Neolithic Dwellings Museum is built around two Neolithic houses dating back to the 6th millennium BC. 1826 artifacts were found there. The Neolithic dwellings are the best-preserved in Europe from this period. Kitchens, fireplaces, hand grain mills, and ceramic vessels comprise the richest inventory of 6th millennium BC prehistoric house life in Europe. The prehistoric art exhibition displays 333 of the most important finds from the Neolithic, Eneolithic, and Chalcolitic periods (6th millennium BC – 3rd millennium BC).[1]

Why they are not in the list?

Shunet El Zebib

I've added this. It has its own, well-referenced Wikipedia page and it is interesting because it is not a tomb - it was a funerary enclosure used for religious ceremony. It's in Abydos in Egypt and is a little older than Djoser's pyramid at Saqqara.

Dolmens and Cairns

The heading says Dolmens and Cairns are not considered in the list, still a few have made it in. 123.252.230.194 (talk) 08:06, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dolmens seem to satisfy all of the criteria, it's unclear why one might exclude them in the first place. John_Abbe (talk) 03:37, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extant

Most of these are hardly "extant". 79.106.203.95 (talk) 20:05, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
