Gradeshnitsa tablets, Neolithic clay tablets in Gradeshnitsa, Bulgaria.
The Gradeshnitsa tablets contain four rows of pictographic signs inscribed on clay surfaces dating from the 4th millennium BC.
These artifacts were unearthed during archaeological excavations in 1969 near Gradeshnitsa village in the Vratsa Province of northwestern Bulgaria.
The inscribed symbols on these tablets represent early forms of human communication, predating Egyptian hieroglyphics by approximately two thousand years.
Visitors can examine these ancient tablets at the Vratsa Regional Museum of History, which maintains regular opening hours throughout the week.
The pictographic signs on the tablets share similarities with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, suggesting possible connections between early writing systems.
