Hisaria
Hisaria is a pyramid that is decorated with many clusters and standing stones.
Begovo
The megaliths of Begovo are a cluster of stone formations positioned on top of a pyramidal formation.
Pesnopoy
The Double Pyramid of Pesnopoy is a very large pyramid that is aligned East-West.
Stryama
The Pyramid of Stryama tells us how megalithic sites are connected as a network to form a grid.

Periods of construction
At Sokolitsa we find both Lemurian stones that are larger and less well finished and relatively smaller better finished Atlantean stones.
The size of stones
The Lemurian stones are much larger and are usually found under the Atlantean stones that are relatively smaller.
The shape of the stones
Some early-Atlantean megaliths are triangular shaped.
Inclination of the stones
Some megaliths are inclined away from the Sun at around 20 degrees off a North-South angle.
Sutures
In some megaliths we find suture marks.
Type of stone
The megaliths at Sokolitsa are made from a granite composite that has quartz crystals.
Lines of quartz blocks in the granite
In some megaliths there are diagonal lines of quartz blocks at around 50 degrees off an East-West axis that reminds us of the golden ratio, the divine proportion found in nature and the cosmos.
Grid lines of quartz underground
There are probably grid lines of quartz that underpin the megalithic site.
