I was born in Romania and my grandmother was Bulgarian. I will always consider Bulgarians as our brothers. We use to be one people, one country, one empire. Despite many changes in the teritory and that's most about Dobrogea, we don't have to be enemies. That is what the powerful countries wants us to be : divided and against each other. Peace brothers. Love you all.

As a Romanian, I have much love for the Bulgarian people. This video was a great overview of Bulgaria’s rich history. I’m happy to see you back Epimetheus!

12:49 The brothers didn't create the cyrilic, they created the glagolithic script for Greater Moravia. Later, their students, after being ousted from Greater Moravia by the germanic, catholic, bishops, fled to Bulgaria and brought the script with them. Then, they created the cyrilic script in Preslav. Also, Omurtag and Krum were the first to begin the process of unification of the state - by creating the first written laws and one common administrative division of the country.

Respect for Bulgaria and Bulgarians, from Romania! A country with a rich but turbulent historical past, at the confluence of empires and cultures, Bulgaria has endured and I am convinced it will have a future. Although we speak different languages and have different origins, I feel that in addition to having the same religion, we also have a very similar culture. A Romanian and a Bulgarian can collaborate very easily. I wish for the border between us to disappear and for us to build as many bridges over the Danube as possible. Maybe together we will manage to make the other peoples of the Balkans become friends and rise up, because all Balkans are essentially welcoming people.

I have worked with many bulgarians in london. They are hard working and honest, some of my favourite people

As a Bulgarian, I humbly thank you for creating this. I love the effort you put in it, it's amazing. Thank you. <3

A note: the Cyrillic alphabet was not created by Cyril and Methodious. They created the glagolitic alphabet and when they fled to Bulgaria, Bulgaria welcomed them as scholars. A school was established by Bulgaria at those times, the Preslav school. There studied the 5 Bulgarian students that were Cyril and Methodious's puppets after they settled in Bulgaria. These 5 students created the Cyrillic alphabet and named it after their teacher Cyrill. In Bulgaria we honor them as Свети Седмочисленици[Sveti Sedmochislenitsi] meaning the holly seven.

I'm from Romania but every time when I went in Bulgaria I felt like home, not only the places, but people are the same, like us. Even if I didn't go in Serbia, I believe Serbia is the same and in my opinion, we are all brothers. I felt closer from Bulgarian people than Italian. If I didn't mistake, we share the share name of one city, Targoviste. PS during the Russian Ottoman war, a very big contribution to freedom of Bulgaria had Romanian Army and history mentioned that without help of Romanian Army, the war would have been lost from Russia.

I have met many Bulgarian people in Eastern Europe over my years and they were all great kind people. I would love to visit there one day! Thanks for the history lesson.

Very beautiful landscapes and music. Love from Greece🇬🇷❤🇧🇬

I have visited Bulgaria many times, since I live close by in Thrace (Greece). I love the culture, the food, the landscapes. Everything is full of history. People are friendly and easy going! Velico Tarnovo is a must to visit. So is Sofia, Plovdiv, the cities at the coast of the Black Sea (Burgas, Varna). I personally love the mountains and places like Smolian in the south.

[stupiddamb]

I have visited the capital Sofia and Varna along with Kranevo, Albena (I believe thats what it was called), as well as I have travelled a little through the inland. Bulgaria left a lot of great memories. It was very welcoming country and I had the best time trying some of their local honey. Years later I met a bulgarian guy in the US. He was surprised that I have visited his country but since his english was not very good, I had to speak to him in Russian and English at the same time and we managed to understand each other and had a great time. Great video, thank you.

I have moved this year to Bulgaria, a rich culture and i feel like its becoming my second home now. Bulgaria deserves better than the current state it is still in after Ottoman subjugation and socialism. Much love from a German 🇧🇬🇩🇪♥️

Greetings from Sunny Beach, Burgas for all friends of Bulgaria.
I have spent some month working in this region and I can say, I really like the mentality of Bulgarian people. It seems they are never stressed in any kind, not even in the Winter. Regarding the history, they were stressed enough. I really like the sea and coast area but also the beautiful villages in the Balkan mountains. Have a Happy New Year!

Recently moved back to Bulgaria after having lived in South Africa all my life. This was a great little snippet of my history and it inspires me to go visit more places and actually see where this history look place. As for favorite drink, the beer is pretty good here, and favorite place is anywhere in the mountains, really beautify!

I visited Sofia earlier this year. It was easily one of the nicest, calmest capital cities I've visited.

As an Armenian, I love Bulgaria. They saved many Armenians during the Turkish genocide and currently, the Armenians are one of the best integrated societies, mixed marriages are common as well. Excellent video and greetings to my fellow Bulgarians.
