King’s throne of clay from 6 000 years ago was found at the king’s rock castle Perperikon from the Nikolai Ovcharov’s team. The clay is with four legs, an arched roof back and phallus in the center of the seat. According to mr Ovcharov’s words, that might typify the prelude toward the religious rite of the matrimony.

Perperikon (or Hyperperakion or Perperakion) is in the Eastern Rhodope range, some 12 miles from the town of Kurdzhali. The roads from Sofia, via Asenovgrad or Haskovo, are fairly good and well maintained. Perperikon is perched on a rocky peak at 1,400 ft above sea level guarded at its foot by the village of Gorna Krepost [high castle]. The gold-bearing river Perpereshka flows nearby forming a valley some 7 miles long and 2.5 miles wide.

This fertile sheltered place had attracted settlers in very ancient times, and today, dozens of sites clustered around the natural hub of Perperikon reveal layer upon layer of archaeological remains. Just a little further downstream, the Perpereshka flows into the artificial lake of Stouden Kladenets on the river Arda. Where the two bodies of water meet, is the village of Kaloyantsi, a scenic place with some tourist facilities.
