Bulgaria History, Geography, Economy and Important Events

Bulgaria, located north of Greece and Istanbul, is very old in terms of human settlement. A 6800-year-old plaque has been found near Montana, with some 24 markings found in four rows - it has not been possible to read it, but it is estimated that humans must have lived here since that time. In 1972, a gold treasure was found in Varna, situated on the banks of the Black Sea, on which the royal markings were made, which suggests that there would have been a state or power here even in very old times - although the ethnic origin of this state is known.

A similar campaign took place in Greece two decades earlier. In 1989, a soft branch of the Communist Party ruled there.
