Solar Shrine of Beyraintsi Village, Bulgaria

The sanctuary is located about 6 km Southwest of Berayntsi village and was built on the northern mountain slope on the rock massif. On the western slope of the rock there is cut disc diameter 0.80 m. On the ground below the rock massif in an archeological study it was revealed pottery from dark-gray and brown clay with plastic decoration. Some of the fragments were filled with ash. The Mala Garvanitsa area long been used as a stone quarry and today thick layer of stone chippings covers the whole terrain. Excised disc leads the archaeologists to link the cult of the Sun, and suggest that this place was a sanctuary, which has been associated with his cult-like facilities in Western Bulgaria.

Near s.Beraynitsi plate in the area - about 6 km from the present village are the remains of another prehistoric religious facility. On the plateau above Znepole occupied by large stone massif there is carved dish with a diameter of 0.30 m. Archaeological fragments has not been found in plate but its close location close to the solar disk Mala Garvanitsa is an undeniable evidence of a link between the two facilities, which were connected with the solar cult.

On the rock plateau above Znepole area in large area Garvanitsa occupied large stone is carved stone bowl with a diameter of 0.30 m. It is located about a kilometer northwest of the solar disk in the area and Garvanitsa undoubtedly belongs to the same age and is associated with the same cult. Here there was a megalithic facility constituted megalithic currency with a height of 2 m., which had been destroyed by treasure hunters before the end of WW II.

Cult facilities near village of Berayntsi are associated with prehistoric settlement Zavoy area, the remains of which were discovered by archaeologists close to the North of the village, where in an area of about 10 acres still fragments of dark-gray, prehistoric pottery, too deleted and depersonalized could be found. Single fragments have plastic decoration typical of Halstat era.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
