Bulgarian lands keep traces of the earliest fireplaces of human life. The first human traces are from The Old stone ages /100 thousand years BC/.

In the course of different time civilizations changed places over our land – Thracian, Ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine, leaving unique cultural heritage, most of which under UNESCO protection.
In V-VII century on the territory of young Bulgaria appeared the first ancient Bulgarian inhabitance. Being Indo-European by ethnical nature, Bulgarians were developed state creating nation already in the Antiquity. Their proto-homeland is Middle Asia, in the region of the Pamir and Hinducish Mountain, where they organized their early state Bulgaria. Being forced by historical circumstances to move to the west, they, led by chan Cubrat, had created in the Preasia lands, during VII century, a mighty state union, widely known as Great Old Bulgaria; meanwhile the union was divided into the so-called Volscha Bulgaria and Bulgaria by Danube.

In the Middle ages Bulgaria by Danube was among the leading political forces in Europe. It gave to the world the genius of St. brothers Cyril and Methidi, who Pope John Pavel II has pronounced as “spiritual protector of Europe”.

The rush of the Bulgarians had been temporary stopped during the Ottoman dominance, but revived with new flame in the days of the Bulgarian Renaissance /XVIII-XIX century/. The Liberation of the Ottoman rule /1878/ gave additional strength to the Bulgarians for restoration and joining again to the European world.

Nowadays Bulgaria and The Bulgarian people consider the world as a background of noble competition of the spirit and mind, of the human values and ideals.
