Belintash is a rock shrine and archaeological site in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria. The plateau features carved round holes, trails, niches, and steps that some researchers interpret as a stellar map. It is believed to have been a Thracian cult site, possibly dedicated to the god Sabazios and operated by the Bessi tribe [1].
