10.  Bulgarian yogurt

Bulgarian yogurt is reportedly the best in the world by many critics. Like all yogurts, Bulgarian yogurt is produced through the bacterial fermentation of milk. The unique lactobacilus bulgaricus is only found naturally in Bulgarian air and is said to give the treat such an unforgettable taste. The longer the yogurt remains warm, the more bitter it becomes upon being cooled. Other reasons our yogurt appears to such a large crowd is that the milk used to make it is all collected through a much more natural process in which at times sheep milk is being used. Although this could cause some health concerns, traditional Bulgarian yogurt is never sterilized after fermentation.


9. Bulgarian cuisine

Almost every Bulgarian meal incoporate salad as an apatizer, main courses are typically water based such as high variety of soups served both hot and cold. Lamb and goat meet make up most of the protein found in the countrys diet which is rarely deep fried and almost always grilled.
Maybe the most well known Bulgarian dish is the shopska salata, this simple meal is made from diced garden tomatoes, onion cucumbers and fresh peppers topped off with grated cheese and parsley. All this delicious food sure does make you thirsty and for that reason a fair share of Bulgarian adults and older children :D enjoy rakia, a popular fruit brendy. It is so well liked that several countries including Bulgaria, Croatia, slovenia, and Macedonia consider it to be their national drink. 


8. The Cyrillic alphabet

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/LGCbqosGsrvuxt_i3qxDQOlb9U71FFaLy7DHIaDRhmYkrXPSUeztVABOVIeegVcVic_RBlBeC_o6CpCMTiLZjH0QAK0H-j42HZplZHNGJu7fz-pXni1BBZLg5fLcoDbeb9YNXqDQ

Bulgaria is home to the Cyrillic alphabet which is nowadays used by more than 300 million people around the world. The country is actually the home to the Cyrillic writing having adopted it before Russia. Credit to its fouding can be given to St.Cyril and Methodious, two brothers born in the 9th century ( it believed that they are bulgarian, although it hasnt been proven yet). It is also believed that the missionary duo was given the task by the Bulgarian ruler. These two are the most celebrated saints in the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. With the accession of Bulgaria to the European Union on 1 January 2007, Cyrillic became the third official alphabet of the European Union.

The oldest gold treasury in the world that has been uncovered was found just west of the stunning Varna, Bulgaria and it dates back to 5000 BC. It was discovered amidts a burial site and was unearthed in 1972 by a tractor crew. The dig brought forth an abundance of priceless gold objects. Such things were found scattered among some 294 graves serving as evidence in the belief of afterlife. About 30% of the necropolis has still yet to be excavated. It sure does make you wonder what could be lying under the surface.

John Atanasoff was a Bulgarian descendant born in Hamilton, New York on October the 4th, 1903. During the winter months of 1937, the young man slaved for hours on end looking for a new type of caluculater that could solve more complex problems that the ones built during his time period. One night after running into more bumps off the road, Atanasoff hit the road of discouragement and began to drive with no destination in mind, a good three hours away from his starting point, the man pulled over to a Roadhouse in Illinois. It was in there after a drink of bourbon that he finally came up with the basic principles for the first computer ever built and the rest as they say is history. 

The first wristwatch was also invented by a Bulgarian - Peter Petroff.

Other than that i thought you mind want to know that the famous founder of Facebook Marc Zuckerberg has Bulgarian roots. He got his name from his grandfather Marco who fled Bulgaria in 1940 when a revoltuion was brewing.

March first marks the annual celebrations of Baba Marta better known to the english-speaking folks as Grandmother March. On this holiday the upcoming spring is welcomed in many ways such as the exchange of small tassels. The traditional gift given is a white and red yarn bracelet called Martenitsa. These adornments must be worn until the idividuals sees a stork. Interestingly enough the grandmother March is the name given to the mythical figure that brings with her an end to the cold.

Sunny beach is a major seaside resort on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria. This is the most popular of the most tourist attractions in the country and is home to over 800 hotels which boast over 300 000 rooms to spend the night in. Nine months out of the year Sunny beach is more like a ghost town rather than anything else and has very few permanent residents but during the summer it serves as a home to thousands of tourists. It seems to be a place that never sleeps as crowds flood in during the summer time. With 130 restaurants, live music and lots of stores there is always something to do if you are not into swimming.

The Bulgarian army has NEVER lost a single flag in a battle even though it actively participated in European wars since the 19th century (1878,1885,1912-1914,1914-1918,1941-1945).


2. The Queen of roses

Bulgarian roses are some of the most beatiful flowers in the world, they are not just a mental stimulant because of the calming odor they give off but a source of income for many bulgarians. Bulgaria produces up to 85-90 % of the worlds rose oil which is an essential ingredient used in many popular perfumes.


1. The proto-Bulgarian Calendar

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_INrnvHH8LIk2ZwAtEB4V_oOvTfr_P579ansocBVyAU3Q5Y8yqeeY_FLiRpIAwFeiAyC5tAWWQTrDCAzarlYK9TfbdEGqJrZ0Nx9Tup8okoX35iV4fCvlCTttQpIgiPsSsFKojSW

The ancient Bulgarian calendar was declared by UNESCO to be both - the most accurate (in 1976) and the oldest one in the world. The organization experts have been stunned by the genius mathematical solution for the 365 number. Even more – the ancient Bulgarian system of chronology has offered the same simple rule for the leap day per every four years. According to the calendar, we are currently living in the year 7525. 



And here are my honorable mentions:

- Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria was founded 7000 years ago. This makes it the second oldest city in Europe
- Bulgaria comes 3rd in the list of countries with most valuable archaeological sites discovered on its territories, preceded only by Greece and Italy. 
- There is historical evidence that wine has been produced on the territory of what is now modern- day Bulgaria ever since the Stone Age. Today the country has earned the reputation of a world-class wine producer. 
- The Bulgarian folk song Izlel e Delyo Haydutin (check it out, its amazinggg) has been flying around in space together with Backs and Mozarts greatest work since 1977 when Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes left the Earth.
- The first air-dropped bomb in Millitary History was developed by the Bulgarian Air Force during the first Balkan War and was used on 16th of October, 1912 by Lieutenant Radul Milkov and Lieutenant Prodan Tarakchiev.
- Rayna Kasabova was a Bulgarian Air Force pilot and the first woman in the world who participated in a millitary flight. 
- Name days are celebrated in addition to birthdays in Bulgaria. As a matter of fact, most Bulgarians value their name day more than their birthday. A Name Day, or Saints day is celebrated by people named after a particular Saint.
