Samuel, the Bulgarian AutocratThe border-stone is in the size of a keyboard - about 50 cm long and 40 cm wide, discovered in an anti-mafia campaign in the region of Petrich town. A border-stone with a sign "Samuel, the Bulgarian Autocrat" on it was confiscated from the home of treasure-hunter Stamen V. from Samuilovo village. Experts from the Blagoevgrad town history museum dated the find from the beginning of the 11th century A.C. To them, the stone is a direct and irrefutable proof that Samuel was a Bulgarian King, a fact that is constantly challenged by Skopje.
