I am confused here:
Can someone please give me the right answers?!! I believe the number 83%, but the rest of the figures unfortunaly not. Jeroenvrp 21:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Something else... on page Rhodope Mountains it says: "Its highest peak, Golyam Perelik (2,191 m), is the seventh highest Bulgarian mountain." ... but on Golyam Perelik page it says: "It makes the Rhodopes the seventh highest Bulgarian mountain range after Rila, Pirin, Stara Planina, Vitosha, Osogovo and Slavyanka.". Being 7th highest mountain or 7th highest ridge isn't the same or? 77.38.44.85 ( talk) 18:54, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Ok, guys, why don't we start a discussion on this, ey? What exactly is the problem? Whether the name derives from Greek or...? Please, discuss it here. I'll try to help with what I can. -- Laveol T 10:36, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello. Could you please check out the caption under the picture with floating house? I think it should say "Vacha" Dam and not "Vucha". 83.149.19.127 ( talk) 16:36, 19 January 2009 (UTC) Done 86.21.250.191 ( talk) 21:25, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
According to Dontchev and Karakashev (2002), the total area is 14 730 km2 only in Bulgaria, so it has to be even larger than the total given in the article here! Ivan Marinov ( talk) 11:28, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
Aren't services, tourism, industry, and agriculture all the sectors of economy? Or at least most of them - I'm not sure where transport goes for instance. I think there shouldn't be so many sectors listed here. - Noneconomist here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikolageneshki ( talk • contribs) 21:16, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Can anybody provide more evidence for the etymology of the toponym Rhodope? I agree it sounds plausible that it stems from red, however, the same holds for the root rod-, meaning "kin, family"; rōd-, meaning "scrape, scratch"; and (potentially) other Proto-Indo-European lemmas...
facebook meme about File:Womb Cave TanKaya BG.jpg
text of the meme says "Utroba Cave ~ in the Rhodope mountains, Bulgaria. Carved by hand more than 3000 years ago (?), it was rediscovered in 2001.
Archeologists hypothesize that an altar built at the end of the cave, which is about 22 m deep, represents either the cervix or the uterus. At midday, light seeps into the temple through an opening in the ceiling, projecting an image of a phallus on to the floor.
When the sun is at the right angle, in late February or early March, the phallus grows longer and reaches the alter, symbolically fertilizing the womb before the sowing of the spring crops."
any archaeological references to actually confirm/deny this? EdwardLane ( talk) 09:06, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
