The rock massif Belentash is situated some 60 km away from the city
of Plovdiv, near the villages of Vrata and Sini Vrah in the Rhodopi
mountain. It is a rock plateau, 300 m in length, 35-45 m in width and 50
m in height. The upper platform of the rock is absolutely flat and
smooth, as though it has been cut with a knife. There are weird pits and
channels in it, which form the map of the starry sky and the
constellations. There are also three wells cut into the plateau, which
are absolutely smooth regular cylinders. Many myths and mystical
stories are being told about Belentash. The name of the rock is of
Turkic language origin, and means “smart rock” or “the rock of
knowledge”. People think that once this place was one of the big
ancient Thracian sanctuaries in the Rhodopi mountain. A unique silver
plate with the face of god Sabasius has been discovered in the region
of Belentash. Scientists believe that somewhere in the rock the ancient
library containing the knowledge of the ancient Thracians is hidden. | |||
