“Several inscriptions categorically prove that the Cyrillic alphabet is Bulgarian,” said Professor Nikolay Ovcharov on the occasion of the amendments to the wording of the May 24 holiday adopted at first reading as an official holiday, reported BTA.

“Evening”: Cyril and Methodius are not “Bulgarian Slavic educators”

With the changes made, May 24th will be marked on the calendar as the Day of Bulgarian Writing, Education and Culture, and not as the Day of Bulgarian Education and Culture and Slavic Writing.

“The oldest Cyrillic inscription in the world was found in the stone monastery near Krepcha, Popovsko. It marks the year 6430 from the creation of the world or 921 according to our chronology,” says the scientist.

First reading: renamed May 24

“Also from this region, already from the capital of the First Bulgarian Kingdom, Veliki Preslav, is the Altsek inscription from 931 engraved on a ceramic container. That is, these three inscriptions, made in the first half of the 10th century, are dated very precisely, ”adds Ovcharov.

According to him, these facts are extremely important.

Zaev: We’ll be careful with Gotse Delchev

“For comparison, I’ll just say that, for example, the other country that uses Cyrillic, Kiev Russia, adopted Christianity at the end of the 10th century, the first inscriptions in Cyrillic exist only after 988,” added Ovcharov.

According to him, these are very important arguments, because in this way nothing more can be said, except that the inscriptions, the Cyrillic alphabet, and the inscriptions, which are written in Cyrillic, are made for the first time in Bulgaria, that is. the language in which they are made is usually Bulgarian or Old Bulgarian.

The professor also recalled the main facts: the brothers Cyril and Methodius created the Glagolitic alphabet based on the Bulgarian dialects of Thessaloniki. After the death of Cyril and the persecution of Methodius in Great Moravia, his students were received by the Bulgarian prince Boris-Michael in Pliska and created the alphabet in which Bulgarians, Russians, Ukrainians, Serbs, Mongols and many other peoples write today. .
