Bulgaria

By "Romanians" you probably reffer to the Balkanic Vlachs. Their corect name is Aroumanians.

we cannt say that Aroumanians or Albanians have more rights than other nations, as long Serbs, Bulgarians etc. are not realy Slavic but a mixture of Vlachs with Slavs. We may speak about them as Slavized Vlachs.

Well you're generally right, there are no 100% pure nations (especially in the Balcans), but we can talk about areas with predominant ethnic groups. Yes we can talk about slavized vlachs(and vlachised slavs too btw), but we cannot claim the historic heritage of people just because we live on the same land they had once lived. Names of the themas when Byzantium reestablished it's rule on the Balcans clearly show were did the ancient population of Macedon go-in the south-eastern Thrace near Adrianopolis (from where infact the Macedonian Byzantine dynasty originate-with it's most famous member Basil II Bulgarslayer). So ethnically there's no current nation in the Balcans that can represent crearly the population of the ancient Macedon, but culturally closest would be Greece. Genetically closest must be the population of countries with large proportion of pre-slavic invasion elements-such as Greece, Roumania and Albania.

Turk not turkish,there is a diference.

Whell if u say Slavenised Vlachs (serbs romanians wore slavenised Vlachs) and so on and so forth...

Whats wrong with the concept of Slavenised Macedonians...?

Well, I personally think that the ancient Macedonians were firstly Hellenized, then Romanized, then probably barbarized (during the barbarian invasions, which led to the next step: the "evacuation" to the new tema Makedonia near Adrianople, where they were additionally:), Slavinized, Armenianized (the Paulicians weren't confined only to Philipoplis), Bulgarianized, Turkicized. There was quite a lot of mixing in this area and absolutely no nation (especially the ancient ones) has managed to remain even just a little "pure"!

Bulagaria is a beautiful country and i think bulgarians are pretty nice people.

Very interesting Nike.In many foreign articles(including Osprey's books) the treasure of nagy sent miklosh is claimed by many other nations(including Goths),but not Bulgars,althourh there are many evidences that proove its Bulgar origin.

I read about the period this treausure was made.Somewhere in the region between Black and Caspian sea in 5-7th century AD.And that region was populated by Bulgars or other tribes which later were assimilated by Bulgars.Another evidence is that the treasure was found in area that was part of the First Bulgarian Empire.Another thing is the inscriptions from some of objects,especially the one from the golden cup.I read that some turkish proffessor was the first who translated it and later a bulgarian proffessor correct his translation(I cant remember names).They both say that the inscription contain the name of Asparuh.

Originally posted by rider WOW!!! I see some 14 or what pages of Bulgaria here. That makes me wanna ask, how many of you wish to write something of Bulgaria (of the Empires', of some tzars' or whatever)... please express your feelings.

What I would prefer is the thing that you most know of (for I have NO knowledge of Bulgaria).

But the wisest thing I think sohlud be about general history of some period.
