How Geographers, Pharmacists, Novelists, Plant Hunters, War Correspondents, Engineers, Medical Men & Tourists Discovered & Experienced Nineteenth-Century Bulgaria.

"It is well know to all how much daily problems the Bulgarian people has in these days. However, more dangerous than anything is the tendency to loose identity and national selfconfidence. This is a clearly visible tendency in the inscriptions of foreign languages, mass emigration and the wish for imitation of foreign culture.

The above-described situation makes preservation and popularization of Bulgarian History extraordinarily important. If it ... |

През 1851 г. край с. Розовец в Казанлъшката долина някой си дядо Стоян изважда от могила мраморен блок. Зейва отвор и блясват скъпоценни старини: още преди Шлиман да разкопае Троя, е открито първото тракийско съкровище. То съдържа златен венец и предмети, които напомнят описаните в Омировия епос - там за първи път се възпяват блестящи тракийски сервизи и царско въоръжение. В българските земи практиката да се полага благороден метал обаче е с три хилядолетия по древна от времето на Троянската война. Най-ранни - от V хил. пр.Хр., са златните находки от Хотница, Варненския и Дуранкулашкия некропол. В следващите три ... |
