The Thracians in
Strandja
From 1000 BC, the Strandja Mountains were the home of several Thracian tribes. Some of these were very warlike and carried out widely feared night-time attacks on their enemies.
The great mother goddess and the sun were central to Thracian religious beliefs, and the Thracians performed their religious rituals and ceremonies in the open, among rocky cliffs and crags

The site
"Sanctuary of the goddess
Bastet" is located near the highest peak in the Bulgarian part of Strandja mountain – Gradishte.
The origin of this site is quite controversial among the specialists and many of the archaeologists suggest actually it has nothing related to the Egyptian goddess
Bastet
but is a ritual site of the ancient Thracians
The reason for the studies in the foot of
Gradishte
is the appearance of an old map, containing still unresolved signs, geometrical figures and characters. The
bulgarian
prophetess Baba
Vanga
is very intrigued and she shared unique scientific facts about the solar sanctuary. She said that the area of
Gradishte
in
Strandja
mountain is sacred. According to her, there lies a tomb of an Egyptian goddess, "
which holds the scepter of extraterrestrial matter in her hands
". The theory is that after the death of
Bastet
(depicted with the face of a cat), her body was transported to these lands by sea
