Medieval Ritual Pits Discovered in Southern Bulgaria
I’m a couple of days late to this story, due to the move and what not.
From BalkanTravellers.com:
Over 50 unique pits, used for rituals and dating to the twelfth century, were discovered by archaeologists near the village of Sedlare in the vicinity of the town of Momchilgrad in southern Bulgaria.
The new finds testify for the fact that, despite being practicing Christians, the local population used to return to its pagan past in times of hardship, archaeologists told Darik Radio.
