The Thracians were the ancient civilization inhabiting the Balkans. They were ruled by their many tribal kings who were often feuding with each other. However, under the Cult of Orpheus, they were united and developed philosophies of both life on this earth and the after-life.
The spiritual outlook and the related religious cults brought purpose into the existence of the Thracians. They created gold and silver adornments for their leaders, women and revered horses 3000 years before Moses and Ramses the Great.
Before the era of the superior Roman steel swords, the Thracians were powerful and feared. They lived in locations of hot mineral springs, rivers and coastal lines in a climatic zone that was favourable for agriculture, fruits and animal breeding.
Many religious ceremonies involved wine — as well as personable gods, temples, tombs and sacrifices, female beauty, heroic manhood, precious golden and silver jewellery, colourful stones, conquest, lifestyle and travel by powerful fast horses or capable ships such as Jason’s Argonaut and much later the world conquerors of Alexander the Great.
When Jason set out for the Golden Fleece, he took along many able men from Thracian lands and travelled to the lands on the shores of the Black Sea and up and down the major streams that flowed into the sea.
One of Jason’s wives was the Goddess Medea with whom Jason had a daughter named Eriope, phonetically “Europa” or Europe.
The Thracian cult favoured locations with high natural energy for their temples and burial mounds, locations with natural powerful vortexes favourable to their Orphelian conviction of life after death and the return to earthly realms one day.
The site of Thracian Cliffs was the territory of the Thyrisians; nearby Kavarna had been named Bizone; Balchik was the city named Kouri (springs). People unearthed recently a temple from 4000 BC of the earth mother Goddess Kibela.
Kaliakra was the city named Thyrisis, the capital of the Thyrisians. In the waters of Cape Kaliakra divers found an ingot in the shape of a Golden Fleece, allegedly a form of early money, an alloy of gold, copper and other metals.
The famous legend of Jason and the Golden Fleece recounts that Jason and his beloved
Medea stole from her father, the king, a sheep skin fully saturated with gold particles that its wool had collected from gold-sediment-bearing river waters, being fastened, counter-current, on the riverbed.
The vestiges recently unearthed on the shores near the resort bear witness to the Thyrisian inhabitants of Thracian Cliffs.
The founders of Thracian Cliffs wish to promote the extremely rich history of the Balkan peoples and their phenomenal yet hidden heritage… their gold and silver treasures, their high level of culture, their healing mineral springs… and the ancient tribal peoples of Thrace whom we nowadays refer to as Bulgarians, Romanians, Macedonians, Serbians, Greeks and Turks from the northern and western coast lines of the Black Sea.
