  • A Great Way to Relax Visit to Sliven Cathedral, Planetarium ( Observatory ) and an Ancient History Museum in Yambol, Bulgaria
    ? Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computing, Diary Free Software GNU Linux, FreeBSD, Unix, Windows, Mac OS - Hacks, Goodies, Tips and Tricks and The True Meaning of life http://www.pc-freak.net/blog A great way to relax visit to Sliven Cathedral, Planetarium ( Observatory ) and an Ancient History museum in Yambol, Bulgaria Author : admin It is very odd that nowadays most of people, don't know even their own countries but visit many other countries and significant places, without even knowing the hidden gems (the great places you can relax in) in their own country. I'm not exception to this rule and I've never made a trip visit through whole Bulgaria even though I live here most of the time for the last 34 years of my life. Just before Christmas, I was in Pomorie Monastery for a 4 days spiritual and physical rest and it happened that one of the Monks Father Sergij with his novice monk Damian had to travel to a village near Yambol for an unexpected funeral of the Godfather of Damian. Since they were about to travel to Jambol (Yambol) and there was 2 places in the car, they agreed to take me and my wife for a short few hours trip to Yambol. And that's how I got the great chance to visit Yambol, Bulgaria for a first time in life. I didn't know what to expect as I've never been in Yambol but only have been near by in Bakadjika's Monastery and the nearly organized Motorcycle Show Rocker feast just one time.

    Univerzita Karlova Filozofická fakulta Ústav pro klasickou archeologii Autoreferát (teze) disertační práce Mgr. Petra Tušlová Roman Pottery in Ancient Thrace and Moesia Inferior. Selected assemblages from the Yambol District Římská keramika na území antické Thrákie a Moesie Inferior. Vybrané soubory z Jambolského regionu Vedoucí práce doc. PhDr. Peter Pavúk, Ph.D. 2020 Pottery assemblages from the Yambol District – A brief introduction The thesis named Roman and Late Antique Pottery from Ancient Thrace, Selected Assemblages from the Yambol District, presents pottery assemblages from three different archaeological sites, which all have the place of origin in common – the Yambol District. The district lies in south-eastern Bulgaria, along the middle stream of the Tundzha River. It is mostly made up of a vast arable lowland, with the foothills of the Straldzha Mountains rising at the southern-most part, directly neighbouring the Turkish border. The area under discussion was ruled by Thracian tribes/ethne, which especially flourished during the Late Iron Age; in AD 45/46 it was incorporated into the Roman province of Thrace; and, after the Diocletian – Constantine the Great reforms at the turn of the 3rd and 4th c. AD, it was incorporated into the Diocese of Thracia. The choice of the Yambol District for the study is based on my long-term cooperation with the Regional Historical Museum in Yambol (RIM)1 and the Tundzha Regional Archaeological Project (TRAP),2 active in the area since 2009. First, as a member of TRAP, I became acquainted with the area, and, besides other material, also with the Roman period – Late Antique pottery from the field survey, which was one of the project’s main objectives.

    January 6, 2020 Cultural Heritage Center (ECA/P/C) SA -5, Floor C2 U.S. Department of State 2200 C Street NW Washington, D.C. 20522-05C2 Dear Members of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee: I write to you in firm support of the request of Tunisia for a Memorandum of Understanding with the United States of America. I write specifically from a perspective informed by my own expertise in archaeology and ancient coinage. I have published extensively on the subject of numismatics and have been the numismatist for three archaeological sites: Yotvata and Huqoq in Israel, and ‘Ayn Gharandal in Jordan. I consistently deploy archaeological information and coin circulation studies in my research; such information has bearing on the inclusion of coins in the proposed MoU with Tunisia as I address the first and second determinations. As an archaeologist and art historian, whose research draws on both material context and more traditional historical and art historical approaches, I am sensitive to the problem of looting and the consequent loss of information. In particular, I have published peer-reviewed research that documents the relationship between the antiquities trade – specifically the trade in ancient coins 1 – in North America and the looting in “source countries” that occurs to feed this trade. Pursuant to the first and second determinations determination, it is clear from a simple Google search that the archaeological and cultural heritage of Tunisia, including ancient coins, are under 2 threat and that Tunisia is taking steps to combat looting and recover its heritage. In antiquity, the area of what is now Tunisia produced Punic and Roman coins.

  • A Bulgarian Wedding Band Featuring Traditional Instruments Thursday
    KABILE A Bulgarian Wedding Band featuring traditional instruments Thursday, November 9 7:30-9:30 Dance International (Fitness Studio) Not the same as last year!!!! 2417 Buell Ave. (Just west of Burnet Rd) Admission is $10 at the door. see map on back For more info contact Bob Leibman at 420-0218 or [email protected] close up of the area, note the studio is just west of Burnet on Buell (which is itself just a couple of streets north of Steck.) “Kabile Traditional Wedding Band” was formed in 1978 and became one of the most popular bands in Thrace. The band plays the instruments of a traditional Bulgarian village band. Based in the city of Yambol, the group took its name from the village of Kabile, where they performed one of their earliest gigs. The group specialized in performing native music on traditional village instruments, resulting in an acoustic experience quite different from that played on Western instruments influenced by American jazz. This form of Bulgarian wedding music has attracted worldwide attention and scholarship for its incredible virtuosity and musicianship. During its heyday, the band played almost every weekend at weddings, baptisms and cultural festivals in Thrace. Individually, each has an exceptional history of scholarship and performance. Collectively they form one of the most respected ensembles in Bulgarian Thrace. About the band: Dzhenko Andreev (gaida) – bagpipe - is a graduate of the Filip Koutev High School of Music in Kotel, Bulgaria, one of the two prestigious music high schools in Bulgaria. Mr. Andreev has been a member of the Sliven Ensemble for over 20 years and has toured with them internationally.
