Rahmanlij

At the Southern scurts of the high Srednogorski summits, Slivovo Gradishte, Samodivetz and Bratan, the pictersque valey of Rahmanlij stretches from West to East, separated by a ridge into two parts. On this same ridge the little village of Rahmanlij is situated right along the old road to the valey of Kazhanluk. The highest place on this ridge three ancient hills that represent a beautiful view over the valley, the plains of Plovdiv and the Rodopes.

In 1851 an old man called Stoyan was ploughing his corn field near the scirts of a big hill; the wooden plough hitched a stone that cover a little hole in the ground. The old man looked insede and saw that something blazed from time to time when there was light from the sun pouring through the hole.

When the digging operations begun a lot of valuable items varying from golden vases and finery.

But this hill-tomb is not the only one in the valley of Rahmanlij. There more than 30 other tombs found there, and every single one of them posses treasure worth millions.
