The MAVs could be as tiny as bumblebees and capable of flying undetected into buildings, where they could photograph, record, and even attack insurgents and terrorists. U.S. military engineers are trying to design flying robots disguised as insects that could one day spy on enemies and conduct dangerous missions without risking lives. (AP Photo/U.S. Air Force, HO)

(Reuters) - Bulgarian archaeologist Veselin Ignatov poses next to a chariot found at a Thracian mound near the village of Karanovo, some 260 km (223 miles) east from the capital Sofia, November 22, 2008. A team of archaeologists led by Ignatov found the chariot in the mound, dated back to the 2nd century A.D. Not much history has survived of the Thracians, who some experts say settled on what is now Bulgaria, Romania, northern Greece and Turkey's European territory from as early as 4 000 B.C. until they were finally incorporated into the Roman Empire in A.D. 46.
