Perperikon, Tomb Of Orpheus And A Small Baffling Stone – Unraveling A Puzzling Connection That May Solve A Mythological Riddle
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Perperikon is a beautiful ancient site and Europe’s largest megalithic sanctuary. It is often called Bulgaria’s Machu Picchu and sometimes also Europe’s Machu Picchu.
This place is very rich in history and has been inhabited by various cultures. The site played an important role in the lives of the Thracians, a group of Indo-European tribes inhabiting a large area in southeastern Europe. Later, Perperikon became important to other ancient civilizations. What makes Perperikon so remarkable is that among these ancient ruins we find traces of many other great civilizations, such as Romans, Goths and the Byzantines.
Perperikon was not only an ancient megalithic sanctuary, but also a sacred city.
It is here we come across an ancient mystery that could shed light on whether Orpheus, who most regards as a mythological figure was in fact a real historical person.
Can an ancient tomb unearthed in Perperikon hold the remains of this legendary hero who has so far only existed in the realm of mythology? Another puzzling piece of evidence that could shed light on this ancient mystery is an unusual stone that contains an inscription that experts are still struggling to understand. Putting together the scattered pieces we find ourselves with some answers, but also questions. We must keep looking for clues to solve the entire mystery because we are dealing with a truly complicated ancient story.
