We begin our journey from Season 4 of "Mysteries of Bulgaria" this year with a truly extraordinary place that is not so well known - This is the so-called well temple near the village of Garlo. It is located at the easternmost point of our country, fifty kilometers from Sofia. To get to the temple-well near Garlo, be prepared for a one-hour trek if you leave your car in the village of Garlo itself. Next to the site itself is a very scenic trail that goes from open areas into forests and reveals breathtaking views of the nearby dam. In #theclashers, I try to present you with a variety of topics, and "Mysteries of Bulgaria" is definitely my favorite.
We continue our trek uphill, the place is not easy to find, better consult someone from the village for directions. As soon as we arrived, it became clear that the temple-well next to the village of Garlo had been neglected. As far as I know, some years ago there were funds allocated for improvement, but God knows where they went. You are initially greeted by a hole in the ground surrounded by old walls and a platform. You have to be careful around it because it is unsecured. Everything around has been started and abandoned, and the saddest thing is that this unique object is simply left to its own devices. This is like a #travel episode where I try to reveal some other #mystery for a change.
In 1972 A scientific team led by Professor Doctor Dimitrina Mitova Jonova began excavations and uncovered this strange cult facility. At first it was thought to be a tomb, but then the inconsistencies started to pile up. It turns out that she has discovered one of the biggest challenges facing Bulgarian and world archaeology. The more they dug at this place, the more it moved away from the temples and tombs we know. It is believed that it was built around the 13th century BC by a civilization unknown to our lands. Although the Thracians began to appear at that time, this complex here has nothing to do with them. The diversity or the so-called diversity of topics here on The Clashers channel is great and today we will ask ourselves The oldest BUILDING in the Balkans - TEMPLE or Telescope?
The Nuragi culture itself is terribly interesting and enigmatic. They are the masters of the world-famous towers, which were a colossal achievement for their time. By the way, I'm preparing an episode on the nuraghe, because recently the tombs of giants were discovered, and in general there are many mysteries surrounding their existence. And their intervention here, on the territory of today's Bulgaria, is truly impressive. There are no other traces left by them in the Balkans. However, there is one problem - the similar temple wells found in Sardinia were later than the one here, and those in the Near East were more ancient.
This led to the hypothesis that the culture that built them passed through our lands, it is possible that part of it settled permanently and continued to Sardinia. The building is more primitive than the cult complexes located in the Rhodopes or Strandzha, for example, which ensures the claim that the people are even more ancient than the Thracians. Scholars began to believe that there was a possibility that this well temple was built by the Sumerians. In 2012, it was announced that in the 1980s, Dimitrina Mitova-Djonova discovered a fragment and a Sumerian cuneiform script. This reinforces the theory that there were actually Sumerians who settled here.
Did this temple-well in the village of Garlo not serve as an observatory and was it not an ancient telescope? I leave it to you to judge! Enjoy watching!
