A trilingual exhibition titled “Egyptian Cults around the Black Sea” opens today at 6 PM at the Archaeological Museum in Sozopol, according to BNR – Burgas.

Part of an international research project, the exhibition is organized by the Institute of Balkan Studies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the French School at Athens, and the Sozopol Archaeological Museum.

The display features monuments from ancient cities across the Black Sea region, spanning Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Georgia. The artifacts are grouped into seven categories: epigraphic monuments, items made of bone, terracotta, bronze, sculpture, gems, and coins. Together, they trace the spread of Egyptian cults in the area, particularly after the Ptolemaic period.
