Bulgaria is one of the most ancient European countries. Most contemporary historians date the establishment of the First Bulgarian state at 165 AD. It has a very rich and interesting history and culture, and at the same time it is one of the few countries in Europe with very well-protected nature and wildlife.
Contemporary Bulgarians are direct descendants of ancient Thracians, who, judging by all known evidence, were the aboriginal population of the Balkan Peninsula. And it is a well-known fact that the Thracians founded the oldest European civilization. Moreover, a case can be made that it was also the world's oldest civilization, since the people inhabiting Anatolia and the Fertile Crescent had a common origin with the ancient Thracians. In today’s Bulgaria archaeologists have found remains of Thracian cities and tombs dating to prior to 5000 BC. Goldsmiths’ workshops have also been dated to prior to 5000 BC. Not only that, but the oldest worked gold was found within the boundaries of today's Bulgaria. The gold artifacts found at the Varna Necropolis --ornaments for horse harnesses -- were dated at 4500-5000 BC. All these facts plainly confirm that European civilization originated in today’s Balkan Peninsula and, more specifically, within the borders of today’s Bulgaria.
The latest genetic investigations, carried out in AD 2011, indicate unequivocally that contemporary Bulgarians are direct descendants of the ancient Thracians and are not immigrants of Turkich origin from Asia. The ancient states in the lands of today’s Russia and other Slavic republics in Eastern Europe, in some of the Asiatic republics in the Russian Federation and beyond, and even as far as the lands to the east of Lake Baikal and in the border area between today’s India and China (the valley of the Tarim River and the Taklamakan Desert, for instance), were a creation of the ancient Scythians, the forefathers of the Thracians, who had emigrated in the Balkans (in the so-called population expansion, in the language of the population biology) in prehistoric times, and not vice versa, as historians had reckoned.
Pandion Wild Tours’ photogallery comprises some of the most interesting and rare species in Europe. You can see many nature and wildlife photos captured during our Birdwatching, Botanists, Butterfly, Mammal and other tours. You can also learn about Bulgarian nature, history and culture.
