Thracian Cult Megalith Monument – Cromlech near the village of Dolni Glavanak, Madjarovo municipality
The Thracian Cromlech is situated on the plateau of a small ridge in an area called Bunar Alta (Six Wells), 1km southwest of the village of Dolni Glavanak. It represents a cult site built of vertically upraise stone-blocks. The stones were laid directly upon the rock without special tilling or drilling of the ground. Their appropriate form and, in some cases, the support of smaller stones ensured the monument’s stability. The enclosed sacred place where the rituals were implemented has an oval shape. The term “cromlech” was adopted in Europe for representing constructions like this one built by vertically upright huge stone blocks (megaliths), surrounding an area with oval form. The most popular monument of that kind is the famous “Stonehenge” in southern England. Cromlech was built during the second phase of the Early Iron Age (8th-6th Century BC).

The bits of pottery, pieces of plaster and metal tools discovered, concentrated mainly around the upright stone blocks, are evidence for the cult rituals implemented here. This cult facility was functional for a long period of time. Cult rituals were also implemented here during the Late Iron Age (5th-1st Century BC). Single findings prove that the Cromlech was worshiped during the Middle Ages as well.Two smaller facilities, built of stones arranged in circle, are situated south of the Cromlech. Additionally, traces of child burials by cremation were found at this site. Analysis of the materials showed that the cremation was carried out elsewhere and then the ashes were brought here and laid in the sacred circles.
The findings discovered during the archeological studies show that the Cromlech was used for a long period of time; it was used long after the introduction of Christianity as an official religion for the local population.The Cromlech is significant and possesses unique cultural-historic value because nowadays it is the only preserved megalith monument of its kind in the Bulgarian territory. Nearby (1km northwest) is situated the ridge Taushantepe where another Thracian cult place is registered.

The great amount of unsuccessful trials to understand the reason of megalithic structures shows us that the right answer isn’t anywhere in the region of known facts. I have found empirically that the “completion” isn’t any little thing but some laws of nature that have been neglected by the present science. It sounds unbelievably but did men in the ancient history know about some natural laws better than the present science? Surely, they didn’t but knew how to communicate between continents. I think that research in this field will be very interesting.

New theory of balanced rocks

The balanced rocks are rocks of great mass and in the same way as menhirs are located in places of great concentration of cosmic energy. They differ from menhirs by their more rounded shape and by their location on a small area. They may be swung by the wind due to their precise balancing. In my last article I’m describing an experiment, which shows that matter gains energy when being swung.

Further, I will be dealing with important information about balanced rocks, which could be deducted from information found at GOOGLE – pictures, after typing in “balanced rocks”. “Balanced rocks are located in great amount on five continents. “ This fact eliminates any discussions whether ancient civilisations were able to communicate over great distances or not. We don’t know the answer to the question how they were exchanging information in such a way. However, we have enough organisational experience to say that without communication and coordination it wouldn’t be possible to built thousands of balanced rocks around the globe. The transport of rocks weighing more than hundreds of tons over a rough terrain, many times on top of mountains, and the difficult balancing enabling their swinging motion would be an unsolvable task for our technically advanced civilisation. If the ancient cultures solved this task, we can’t doubt that they used some for us unknown technological progresses.

The usual reason for megalithic structures that they were built for ritual, calendar, agricultural and astronomical reasons wouldn’t hold out for balanced rocks. We can approach the reason for balanced rocks only if we lay away the textbook thought about people with a stone axe and think in a way that we are dealing with a technically developed civilisation, which was ahead of our civilisation in some unknown direction. I will enlarge on these thoughts about the megaliths in this direction in connection with the findings of the empirical research about new properties of matter. I will try to explain how people exchanged information over great distances by the use of balanced rocks.

A menhir is a rock placed in a region of an energy source from which it spontaneously gains energy. At the times of building of menhirs there were only natural energy sources of cosmic energy on the Earth – underground springs, streams, rivers, large streams, sea currents, thunderclouds and others. The energetic value of these sources wasn’t stable; it was affected by the change of flow of water streams and the changes of other sources. Menhirs were affected by this in a way that their energetic parts were in a constant movement by which the zones and inter zones changes their separation. At times of drought it’s not possible to identify them. For the transport of energy it’s necessary that the zones of the individual sources cross each other. This however can’t be accomplished by menhirs due to the instability of their zones. It wasn’t possible to use menhirs for the transport of energy due to the lability of their energetic parts.

The way in which people in the ancient times solved this problem deserves admiration. By the swinging motion they built a source into the rock, which compensated for the changes and disruptions to the external sources – it functioned as a stabilisation element. The energetic parts of balanced rocks became stationary and could be used for an uninterrupted transport of energy. If you visit
http://www.miroslavprovod.com , Chapters / 2003, NO, 6, there is a diagram of energetic parts of two trees which intersect. In the text attached I’m describing how the transport of energy is realized. Therefore, balanced rocks could have functioned as part in the transport energy process in a similar way as retranslation stations of our time. Balanced rocks could have transported energy in two ways. They could have had their own transport network or they could have been just an interconnection of zones of sea currents, great streams and other great sources in their common network, as it looks like at Nazca.

All the megalithic structures on the Earth have the same purpose. Cosmic energy is accumulated in their matter, which people than used for curative and also other reasons. The structures had to undergo one condition – they had to be situated into an energetic part of cosmic energy. The regional difference of the shapes of megalithic structures was usually accommodated to the local material sources and other conditions. In America, mounds were mostly built, which were from mud and no good workmanship was needed. More advanced civilizations built pyramids, ziggurats or other more difficult structures. Also, great structures with energetic regulation were built, such as Teotihuacán, San Lorenzo, Nazca Plain, Laos – stone jars, the pyramid of Acapan or Osireion.

Another category of megalithic structures are Easter Islands, Nan Madol, Zimbabwe and others. These probably ensured the connection and maybe even intensification of zones over great distances. In connection with previous results, we could await interesting results from further research.
