  • A bit more brief than previous "50 Fact" videos. Since I was in Bulgaria within the past year, it made sense to do an overview of the country.

    Just a quick note about Plovdiv:
    "Plovdiv is one of the oldest cities in Europe.
    Archaeologists have discovered pottery and other objects of everyday life from as early as the Neolithic Age, showing that in the end of the 7th millennium B.C there already was an established settlement there. According to Ammianus Marcellinus, Plovdiv's post-Bronze Age history places it as a Thracian fortified settlement named Eumolpias. In 342 BC, Plovdiv was conquered by Philip II of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great, who renamed it "Φιλιππόπολις", Philippopolis or "the city of Philip" in his own honour. Later, it was reconquered by the Thracians who called it Pulpudeva (from Philipopolis)."

      Actually, it is a legend that the decuples of Cyril and Methodius named the Bulgarian Alphabet to the name of Cyril. The more realistic theory is that East Rome renamed the alphabet to this evil name after 1018, when they conquered Bulgaria with the help of the traitorous-sold-off-for-roman-gold Kiev Rus. Note that Cyril and Methodius were paid servants of the East Rome Emperor, workers of hire for the EVIL EMPIRE AT THE TIME. With this deceitful and evil act they deny Bulgaria a major achievement.

    good video some mistakes you had on the explanations , like some people commented already like the cyrilic creation , yogurt bacteria is called Lactobacillus bulgaricus all around the world so there not realy a question where yogurt is from . bulgaria was never under byzantium ore roman ocupation we just losed a war in 800 years of wars and bulgaria was still idependant , you can add the creation of the first pc airbag space food automatic transmition also adding bulgaria had multiple country around the globe whit the same name and no we never mixed whit slavs since slavs never existed as before that all that people were calld bulg Arians which is how persians called those people white wariors basicaly and the first bulgarian where from actual bulgaria but they moved after roman empire conquested theire land all around asia and there plenty of cities and rivers still holding bulgarian names basicaly bulgarians just come back to theyre mother land to fre it from roman tirany when kubrat died asparuh father another historical figure thats bulgarian is atila as all writing from his times describe him as and there he comes whit his bulgarians also he is on the nomalia of bulgarian khans(kniaz the bulgarian name for king at the time)

    Intersting fact - there wasn't any fascism in Bulgaria ever. So it is strange how the anti-fascists are "fallen" in Burgas. Too much booze maybe? What do you think?

    • @nick_geo

      I imagine is has something to do with other anti-fascists that fought the Nazis. It doesn’t necessarily have to take place on the soil to honor it.

    • @static-m-s
      @static-m-s Před 3 měsíci

      My point is, all tis "monuments" are built under the russian communists pressure with purely propaganda intentions. The implication is - we, (russian) cominists liberated Bulgaria from the fasists. And this propaganda is real. Half of the population don't know its own history, but know very good the history manufactured in Moscow. Actually, such type of propaganda is developed by the fascists itself.

      @@nick_geo He was referring to the fact that the Russians usually promote it as "Russian alphabet" and we are really divided because of Russian "liberation" during the Russo-Turk wars, but again Soviets occupied it. Bulgarian and Russian are close when it comes to written form but the grammar is different because we are the only Slavic language that dropped cases. I think Russians understand us much. Regarding the islands, there are really cool ones in the Danube where you can kayak. Overall, a very good video. You are most welcome to visit. You forgot to mention our old medival capital of Veliko Tarnovo during the 2nd BG empire. It is not so big anymore, but very nice.

      no one in BG calls it Yogurt... What do you think, does also the bacteria Lactobacillus bulgaricus is Turkish? :) hahahahah This bacteria that plays a crucial role in the production of the Bulgarian milk was identified in 1905 by the Bulgarian doctor Stamen Grigorov. Calm down, we have no claims about Adam and Eve, keep them to yourself, we don't need them!
