Asar kaya, Megalithic site near Zhenda, Bulgaria
The Asar Kaya megalith consists of tall rock formations positioned on a high terrace, with numerous carved niches distributed across its surface.
Archaeological evidence indicates this site served as a ceremonial place for early agricultural societies, with stone steps carved into the rock during ancient times.
The rock formations contain multiple carved representations of animals, humans, and birds, along with circles and grooves that reflect ancient practices.
