Later, Christianity was established here. Historians believe that during the early Middle Ages, Byzantium went against the rules and allowed the Thracians to do religious services in their own language and so, the strange bible was created here known as ‘Besika’ – of the Bessi, one of the Thracian tribes.

One of the interesting finds is a large cross containing several chambers for the preservation of relics.

Very small pieces of wood were discovered in one of them. Archaeologists say they could be little pieces
of Jesus’s cross, brought over by Crusaders during the first Crusades to Jerusalem.

Perperikon could turn out to be the event of the century for Bulgarian archaeology. Its best quality, however,
is the fact that it continues to hide layers and layers of history, filled with promising mysteries.
