The Miraculous Beauty of Bulgaria (A walk through the past; a look at the present)
1999
Bulgaria is a small country in Europe and many people havent even heard its name. There is an old saying in here: When God created the Earth and gave all goods of nature to different countries, some took the beautiful mountains, some took the generous lands, and others the azure coasts and seas. And when finally it was Bulgarias turn everything had already been given and there was nothing left. So God took a piece of wonderful nature from every other country and gave it to Bulgaria.
Bulgaria was founded in 681 and the project will lead the user through time and space as it describes Bulgarias geography, places of interest and the most important moments of our history. There are many heroes in this history, many battles, many victories and many tragedies; lost illusions and never dying hopes. And today we, young Bulgarians, try to build a new democratic society without losing our more than 13-century old identity and culture. In a way everyone could learn something more about human nature and our world and how we can all make it better tomorrow.
We will use extensively photos, drawings and multimedia. Also there will be special features and links to cultural and historical resources.
We hope this project will benefit everyone. New people may learn about our country and our deep soul, talent and cordiality thus enriching their own experience and promoting this miraculous beauty of the world.
