    THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is the BEST mapping video of all TIMES.
    The details are just sick. The Bulgar migrations, uprisings, guerrilla TERRITORIES, photo of Tsar Simeon as a baby, military operations in Iraq and Austria, THE COASTLINE OF DOBRUJA.
    Puts Tigerstar and other historical mapping creators to shame.
    DESERVES MILLIONS OF VIEWS!

I am extremely glad that you did not start the history from the founding of Old Great Bulgaria in 632, but you presented cartographically the earliest information about the Bulgarians and their country in the Caucasus. I was especially impressed by the fact that you included our wars from that time, which are some of the most glorious. All the other details are also just amazing! My biggest congratulations!

Its name at that time period was Borui. With that being said, great job!

Procopius the chronologist of Belisarius and Justinian wrote in length about them. Anti was the first Slavic tribe to cross the Danube as invadors and finally settled with proto-Bulgarians.All different branches of Proto Bulgars Old state Turkic,Iranian and Slavic Almost all uprisings were covered. Kuber Proto-Bulgarians and those who settled in Italy. Including ''Ilinden -Preobravensko '' uprising with all regions of uprising covered from Krushewo on West Macedonia to Adrianople near Black sea. Ochrid-Debar (Bulgarian -Albanian) uprising against Serbian occupation in 1913. Jiiizzz people who know less become professors in history.You menaaged to squize so much info in a short clip.

    Nikov is the first Bulgarian historian to pay special attention to, and attri bute great significance to, the Turkic components in the Bulgarian ethnogen esis (i.e., after the Bulgars) and among the ruling aristocracy. He elaborated on the issue of the "Turkic element's" influence upon Bulgarian history in a 1928 unpublished manuscript (delivered as a public lecture). Nikov began with the following policy-setting statement:
    There is no period in our history on which the Turkic element did not exert its strongest influence and did not leave the deepest traces in the development of our people. [...] None of the Balkan peoples has experi enced the Turkic influence so strongly as our people,
    The Turkic pressure began from Central Asia and had two directions to the northwest through southern Russia, and to the southwest through Persia and Asia Minor. The Bulgarian state was founded due to one of the Turkic peoples, the Bulgars, who themselves joined a number of Turkic tribal alliances (of Huns, Kutrigurs, Utigurs, Avars, and Khazars). During Byzantine rule, the Turkic Pechenegs and Uz came from the north; many of them crossed the Danube and were assimilated by the Bulgarian people. Then came the Cumans, without whose decisive help the uprising of Asenevtsi would hardly have succeeded. Thus, just as the First Bulgarian Kingdom was founded with the help of the Turkic Bulgars, the Second Kingdom was founded with "the decisive collabora tion of the Turkic Cumans."129 Not only did Cumans settle south of the Danube and become assimilated and absorbed by the Slavic-Bulgarian people, but they were also of great significance politically in the Second Kingdom, whose dynas ties all had Cuman blood in them. There were also many Bulgarian boyars of Cuman origin, including Balic in Dobrudzha. It could even be said that the Cumans acquired a dominant position in the political life of the state. 130 There followed the influence of the Mongol Tartars, who even supplied one Bulgarian king, Chaka. But of greatest importance were the Ottoman and Seljuk Turks, who conquered the Balkans from Asia Minor. Concerning the Cumans, Nikov considers the "transfusion of blood" from Turkic "elements" an asset, a means of rejuvenating and strengthening the "race" and enhancing the vitality of the Bulgarian people (in contrast with the conquering Turks).

    During the early Middle Ages, pre-Christian Bulgaria (680-864/5) was one of the most important powers of Southeastern Europe. Historians have commonly explained its survival and success in terms of a par- ticular ethnic symbiosis between Slavic commoners and Bulgar elites of Turkic origin, who ultimately gave their name to the Slavic-speaking Bulgarians. Bulgar khans, archons, or kings' ruled over territories that are now within Bulgaria and Romania. In Romanian historiography, which has traditionally viewed Romanians as a Romance-language island in a Slavic and Hungarian sea, the Bulgars play no serious role in national history. Archaeological assemblages that can be dated between the late seventh and the late ninth century are consistently attributed to "proto-Romanians." By contrast, the Bulgars are the quintessential part of Bulgarian national identity, a marker of distinction from all other histories of Slavic-speaking nations. As a consequence, studying the Bulgar (or, as it is commonly known in Bulgaria, "proto-Bulgarian") archaeology was an essential component of Bulgarian nationalism, especially in the interwar decades, as well as recently. It is only in the years after the Soviet occupation of 1944 that the emphasis in Bulgarian archaeology was forcefully shifted to the study of the Slavs."

      According to Prof. Raymond Detrez, who is a specialist in Bulgarian history and language, such views are based on anti-Turkish sentiments and in serious scholarly circles it is well known that the Bulgar language was a Turkic one: Developing cultural identity in the Balkans: convergence vs divergence, Raymond Detrez, Pieter Plas, Peter Lang, 2005, p. 29
      However the linguistic impact of the Iranian world on the Turkic Bulgars is indisputable. For instance the name of the founder of Danubian Bulgaria was Asparukh, which is old Iranian in origin: "The Huns, Rome and the Birth of Europe", Hyun Jin Kim, Cambridge University Press, 2013,, p. 68.

The time-depth of the Turkic family on the maximum credibility tree is estimated to be around 2,066 years BP (median height of the node), with a 95% highest posterior density between 1,517 and 2,755 years BP. The topology and the age of the obtained tree are discussed in further detail in Section 6.
    The early split between the Bulgharic branch and the Common Turkic languages shapes the Turkic language family as a clear-cut binary structure. This agrees with most of the previous classifications of the Turkic language family, whether they are based on the historical-comparative or lexicostatistic approaches (Tekin 1990: 16; Menges 1995: 60-1; Johanson 1998: 81-3; Dybo 2006: 766-817, 2013: 18; Mudrak 2009: 172-79).

      Brother,
      Read the works of our scholar Dr. Zhivko Voynikov online
      Kubrats first son was Bat Bayan
      And there was a Chionite King from the 3rd century AD whose name was Grum Bat
      Grum Bat is the same name as our great Krum
      Bat is an Iranian title and means Lord
      But Krum was a Pannonian Bulgarian , so he knew the Avar nobility very well and after he conquered them ,
      He took their title Kanasubigi.
      It shows that the Bulgarians were an Iranian people not Turkic

    The South Slavic tribal groups moved south and southwest from their Pripet homeland, eventually entering the Byzantine-controlled Balkan Peninsula as either allies of or refugees from the invading Turkic Avars during the second half of the sixth century. Their search for a new, permanent homeland proved successful. Today their descendants solidly inhabit virtually all of the northwestern, central, and southeastern regions of the Balkans.
    Turks comprise a third ethnic component of the Balkan population. Although today numerically small-a little over 1 million people (about 2 percent of the total population) they have played a role in shaping the history of the Balkans far beyond their numbers.
    In late antiquity the rolling plains of the Danube and Prut rivers in the Balkans' northeast served Turkic tribes from the Eurasian steppes as an open door into the heart of the peninsula and the riches of the Eastern Roman Empire. Huns and related tribes swept through the Balkans in the fifth and sixth centuries, followed by the Avars and their allies in the sixth and seventh. Among these latter were the Bulgars, who established a state south of the Danube. Unlike the Avars, whose settlements in the Balkans proved transitory, the Bulgar state persisted in the face of concerted Byzantine pressures. By the ninth century the Bulgars were challenging the Byzantine Empire for political hegemony in the Balkans, but by that time they also were well on the way toward ethnic assimilation into their Slavic-speaking subject population. The conversion of the Turkic Bulgar ruling elite to Orthodox Chris-tianity at midcentury opened the gate to their rapid and total Slavic assimilation. Within a hundred years of the Bulgar conversion, most traces of their Turkic origins had disappeared, except for their name-the Bulgars had been transformed into Slavic Bulgarians
    Oğuz, Pecheneg, and Cuman Turkic tribes appeared in the Balkans between the ninth and eleventh centuries. Most of them eventually suffered an ethnic fate similar to the Bulgars and left little lasting impression, although the Gagauz Turks of Bessarabia, a region lying east of the Prut River (now known as Moldova), and some Turks living today in the eastern Balkans may be direct ethnic descendants of those medieval Turkic interlopers. Additionally, the Ottoman Turks' five-century rule over most of the Balkans established numerous scattered enclaves of Turkish- speaking groups throughout much of the southern portion of the peninsula, with a heavy concentration in the southeastern region of ancient Thrace.

    On the territory of Great Bulgaria Hephthalites of Dulo mixed with Sarmatians. After Attila united with many germanic tribes and attacked Roman Empire. Thereby, in Attila's army appeared doubles names : Hunnic-Iranian and Germanic. For example, Crimean Goths who were neighbor of Proto Bulgarians had lived till 16 century in Crimean peninsula.

      ​ @The Hetman Mapping the misconception about Bulgaria losing territories from the Hungary during Simeon The Great is false. Hungary was never been to the Carpatian Mountains during his reign - maybe in 970 when Tsar Petar died but no earlier. Where in internet says that Bulgaria reached Transilvania - it doesnt mean that they were at the bottom of it, their territory was almost above Transilvania, not at the southest part of it. Also Bulgars were never parth of the Turkic Khagan, they werent Gokturks at all, they are dessending from Iran/iraq , south of the Turks. Turky has made the assumptions that because Bulgaria was under its yoke for 5 centuries that means they are them, no, and also Turks and Turkey have almost nothing in common. Also Boris 1 never lost control over philippopolis during his reign or path to the Adriatic sea. Tsar Simeon had core territories up to Peloponesse border. There are a lot of mistakes about this mapping over the first, second and third Bulgarian empire even tho its detailed.

      This is not what my research found, which showed Simeon's neglect of the territories beyond the Danube during his wars against Constantinople to be significant. That being said, I do not see the problem, as I show Transylvania under Bulgarian control until the large defeat in the W.l.d.n.r battle. The Gokturks may or may not have held influence that far West, my sources were not clear on this. I have not claimed in the video modern Bulgaria and Turkey are similar ethnically. Plovdiv was certainly lost under Boris-Mikhail's reign until 964 when it was returned as part of a peace deal with Constantinople. However, my sources were not clear on the extent of these losses, with the loss of the Adriatic coast being a generous interpretation for the Byzantines. I am certain these mistakes are not so but rather different sources speaking different information

      I know the sources are different, i am Bulgarian myself and i know that what they have toughted me at school is way different than what they have been in other countries on the Balkan Peninsula, but the Bulgarian ones are the most accurately represented (when we were vassals of the Mongols and fought back with Ivailo, ect). But a matter of fact is that Bulgaria was there way before anybody, we never stole history nor made something to look way above our standarts. I know you probably wouldnt care much about it, but the sources of a more distanced countries (UK, US, Western Europe) are neglecting and underestimating what was achieved by mediavel Bulgaria.
      lets start with Simeon, the only thing he did wrong is that he spended all the money from the national treasury into war deffenses (up north) and major offenses (at the Roman Empire), which left the next rulers to suffer. He held the Carpatian mountains up until tsar Petar, Serbia was getting little more territories up west but Hungary (Moravia) never really extended that further into those romanian mountains, they werent that big of the time around Simeon. Plovdiv is laying on the river Maritsa, which was way higher territory to be held by the Roman Empire. Tsar Roman and Samuil managed to reconquer much of Wallaicha and Dobrudja, but this reign was cut short because when Samuel saw 15k of his soldiers blinded he got a heart attack. Tsar Ivan Asen 2 helf a LARGE amount of territory and the only vassals were on the greek territory up south.
