Icandelo loMphathiswa Wezophuhliso Lommandla kunye Nemisebenzi Yoluntu libhengeze ukuthengwa koluntu kwiprojekthi ebandakanya ukusekwa kweziko labakhenkethi kwindawo yasePerperikon yezinto zakudala.
Le projekthi, ixhaswa ngenkqubo ye-PHARE, ijolise ekwandiseni ukhenketho kwingingqi yeBulgaria-Greece kwimpuma yeRhodope Mountains.
I-euro ye-2.4 yezigidi ezabelweyo yayiza kubandakanya uphando olungakumbi lwe-archaeological, kunye nokufakelwa kwamanzi kunye neenkqubo zombane. Iziko elitsha labakhenkethi elinegumbi lokubonisa lenzelwe ukuba libe yindawo enomtsalane yeendawo zolonwabo ezibonisiweyo.
I-Perperikon yindawo yezinto zakudala eziziikhilomitha ezili-15 kumntla-mpuma we-Kurdjali kwaye, ngokutsho kweengcali, inendawo engcwele, isixeko esingcwele kunye neendonga zesixeko ezichazwe kakuhle. Abaninzi baye baqikelela ukuba le yayiyingcwele kaDionysus okanye uBacchus, umxhasi wezolimo nemidlalo yeqonga, oyena thixo uthandwayo wewayini nonxila.
Kule mihla, abanye abaphengululi bayathandabuza enoba uDionysus wayenguthixo wamaGrike yaye endaweni yoko bathi imvelaphi yakhe ifanele ilandwe kuAnatolia okanye eThrace, apho wayenqulwa njengothixo welanga.
Ukusuka kwinxalenye esele ivunjululwe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, kuyabonakala ukuba intsonkothile iqhayisa ngokuqulunqwa okuqhelekileyo kwexesha le-Neolithic okanye 'eNew' Stone Age, eqala malunga ne-10 000 BCE.
Ukongeza kwiindonga ezinkulu zesixeko, iPerperikon ine-acropolis eyakhiwe ngamaqhekeza amakhulu abekwe kweyona ndawo iphezulu yesiza. Ibhotwe, eliqingqwe ematyeni, lithatha indawo ye-10 000 sq m. Esi siza sikwanazo 'iidolophu ezisemazantsi nangasentla' ezineendlela ezibonakalayo, izindlu kunye neendawo zonqulo.
Uphando lwamva nje lwenzululwazi yezinto zakudala lubonisa ukuba le ndawo ibimiwe kwasekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yesithandathu ngaphambi kweXesha Eliqhelekileyo. Ngokutsho kombhali-mbali odumileyo waseBulgaria uAlexander Fol, eli gama livela kuPer, uthixo wamatye wamaThracian.
Ngexesha le-13th-14th inkulungwane, iPerperikon yayisebenza njengeziko loluntu kunye nenkolo ngaphakathi kwintsimi yaseByzantine. Emva kowe-1346, iinqaba ezininzi ezikwimpuma yeRhodope Mountains zatshatyalaliswa zaza zange ziphinde zibuyiselwe.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, abembi bezinto zakudala baye bafumanisa izinto zomdongwe, izinto zasekhaya kunye neengqekembe zemali, ezinye eziye zanqunyulwa ngexesha lomlawuli waseBulgaria uTsar Ivan Alexander (1331/71), ebonisa ulawulo lwakhe olufutshane kulo mmandla ngo-1343.
