In 1990 in the small village of Tsarichina in western Bulgaria, a
resident kept having vivid dreams and what he claimed were
psychic messages directed at him. Dimitar Kekemenov claimed that
famous historical Bulgarian notables told him he was descended
from the heroic Tsar Samuel of the First Bulgarian Empire in the
11th century and that it was his national duty to find Samuel’s
lost treasures and restore prosperity to the country. A
disembodied entity also told him that not only if he followed
their instructions precisely would he find the buried treasure,
but that other hidden mysteries would be revealed that would
change the world. While this may sound outlandish to most,
curiously, it was taken quite seriously by high-ranking military
officers of the Bulgarian Defense Ministry, who decided
excavation should commence immediately. From December 6, 1990, to
November 19, 1992, heavily guarded tunneling proceeded day and
night, spiraling down into the hard earth. Eventually, work was
halted, and the hole was sealed with concrete, with the official
explanation given as the rising costs, totaling over 16 million
Levs in Bulgarian currency. That might be the final word on what
would rationally seem like a fool’s errand spurred by ridiculous
claims, except that the phenomena reported by authorities leading
the dig were wild beyond belief. Body-piercing bolts of light, a
mysterious stone tablet, a silvery chamber covered in unknown
writing, and even combat with unseen entities deploying
bullet-stopping forcefields were all claimed to have been
encountered. Again, it would be easy to pass this off as
fantastical gossip from a sleepy hamlet or internet fiction,
except these accounts were detailed by one of the project
leaders, Colonel Tsvetko Kanev, in his book, The Tsarichina
Phenomenon. Along with Colonel Kanev, who was the Deputy Chief of
the Military Scientific Department of the General Staff, the
operation was also reported on by numerous European news outlets.
Join us as we burrow down the rabbit hole for the truth about
what was entombed in Tsarichina.
