Archaeologist Andrey Kiryakov, whose materials in FACTI on historical, political and social topics arouse serious interest, has launched conversations and lectures on his YouTube channel.
"Hello to everyone who is interested in the history of Bulgaria and the history of our lands. I thank the FACTI website, which gives me the opportunity to inform you that I am starting conversations and lectures about our history on YouTube.
I graduated from the specialty “Archaeology”, at the Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, in the distant year 2000. Since then, I have not stopped my studies in Bulgarian history and the history of the Balkan lands. I have written a lot on topics related to Bulgarian history in recent years – on my history blog - https://andorey.blog.bg/, in various forums and Facebook groups. I am the author of scientific and popular science articles related to history, writing, archaeology. I have also published three books.
In 2014, I started a show on our POTV with the title “Thracians, Bulgarians, Slavs”, of which we made more than fifty episodes. They are uploaded to a page with the same name on YouTube. For several years now, I have been writing historical articles for several sites, including FAKTI, as well as on social and political topics.
In short, my view related to our history, which has been shaped over the years, is that we Bulgarians are an ancient Balkan people, the truth about which is still known to a limited number of people. These people are becoming more and more numerous, thanks to the numerous opportunities for accessing information these days. However, there is still much to be desired, which is why I am starting these shows.
I would be grateful if I could meet people who could help me with technical experience and any other means to develop my channel. It is a natural continuation of my intensive studies of history over the years.
The Bulgarian people deserve to know their history in more detail and depth in order to gain the self-confidence they deserve. Our history goes far beyond the framework of 1300 years of Bulgaria, it is filled with many unexpected and unknown events and facts that need to be popularized and studied. Some of them are also related to the history of Europe, and to the whole world.
I am giving a link to some of the first shows:
