      Around 4% of Bulgarian genes are derived outside of Europe and the Middle East or are of undetermined origin (by 858 CE), of which 2.3% are from Northeast Asia and correspond to Asian tribes such as Bulgars,[13] a consistent very low frequency for Eastern Europe as far as Uralic-speaking Hungarians.

In each population, one source group has at least some ancestry related to Northeast Asians, with ~2 to 4% of these groups total ancestry linking directly to East Asia. This signal might correspond to a small genetic legacy from invasions of peoples from the Asian steppes (e.g., the Huns, Magyars, and Bulgars) during the first millennium CE."

      In the different classifications proposed so far, there is a wide consensus that the earliest split in the family was between the Bulgharic (also known as ‘Oghuric’) branch, which today only survives in Chuvash, and the Common Turkic branch, which is ancestral to all other contemporary Turkic languages.

      The Bulgars (also Bolgars or proto-Bulgarians[40]) were a semi-nomadic people of Turkic descent, originally from Central Asia, who from the 2nd century onwards dwelled in the steppes north of the Caucasus and around the banks of river Volga (then Itil).

There was a preacher Methodius who used some strange letters and there's Cyril who according to the story that is still taught in Solun restored the lost Illirian letters. Nobody at the mentions them as brothers. Besides the biographies that don't even match each other and are most probably fake. Just like nobody mentions slavs or actually anything that would match their migration. Nor do we have proof of the so-called southern, eastern and western slavs being related.

      Bulgaria has had a profound influence in the world. If it werent for bulgaria stopping the Arab invasion in 8th century europe would likely be speaking Arabic now. Secondly it created the 2nd most used alphabet in the world. And that was spread not by force like the Latin one but peacefully through monks and books.

    Art historian here. I've been asked to teach a general survey of medieval art. It's not my specialty area but I've done it before. However, i have grown tired of the traditional emphasis in medieval European art history on certain major powers (the obvious ones.). So, I'm here to explore the other medieval histories of Europe and see how you narrate them for a general audience. Bulgaria, Hungary, the Avars, the Cumans, the Slavs, the Baltic tribes ... They often get left out of the art historical narratives. The entirety of Eastern Europe has been disadvantaged in undergraduate art historical narratives without good reason.
    The first and second Bulgarian Empires seem to be serious ommissions, in particular. Thanks for your help in helping me to see how the history can be told.

      Bulgaria was one of the three superpowers arround the early 800s to the late 900s a.d.,the other two were the frankish empire and the byzantenes,also bulgarians are famous for destroying the three language dogma wich say the gospel can be preached only in Hebrew,Latin and Greek,Bulgarian was the fourth recognised language,by the western and eastern churches ,...bulgarians had the privilege to listen to preaching in their native language,something that in the west happened 6 centuries later during the reformation,before that the west had only services in latin

    Bulgarian Empire vs. Byzantine Empire:
    Battle after battle for hundreds of years.
    Siege after siege for hundreds of years.
    Exchange of territories for hundreds of years, today at one, tomorrow at the other.
    Hundreds of thousands of victims on both sides.
    This weakened these powerful empires and made them weak just when they needed their strength the most.
    As a result, the Eastern Roman Empire disappeared and Bulgaria was under Ottoman rule for hundreds of years. This has slowed development for centuries.
    The defeat of the Arabs in 717 and the creation of the Glagolitic and Cyrillic alphabets are examples of what they could achieve with more cooperation.

      The Bulgars (also Bolgars, Bulghars, Proto-Bulgarians,[1] Huno-Bulgars[2]) were a semi-nomadic Turkic people who flourished in the Pontic Steppe and the Volga basin in the 7th century AD.[3][4]
      The Bulgars (also Bulghars, Bulgari, Bolgars, Bolghars, Bolgari,[1] Proto-Bulgarians[2]) were Turkic semi-nomadic warrior tribes that flourished in the Pontic-Caspian steppe and the Volga region during the 7th century. They became known as nomadic equestrians in the Volga-Ural region, but some researchers say that their ehtnic roots can be traced to Central Asia.[3] During their westward migration across the Eurasian steppe, the Bulgar tribes absorbed other ethnic groups and cultural influences in a process of ethnogenesis , including Hunnic and Indo-European peoples.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Modern genetic research on Central Asian Turkic people and ethnic groups related to the Bulgars points to an affiliation with Western Eurasian populations.[9][10][11] The Bulgars spoke a Turkic language, i.e. Bulgar language of Oghuric branch.[12] They preserved the military titles, organization and customs of Eurasian steppes,[13] as well as pagan shamanism and belief in the sky deity Tangra.[14]

    Firstly, The Seven Slavic tribes were military allies of the Proto-Bulgars, and upon the formation of Danubian Bulgaria, vassals of the Proto-Bulgars, and by the time Boris (even Krum's diplomat to the Romans had a Slavic name), Slavic princely vassals had seized all positions of power, barring the position of marshal of Bulgaria's armies and that of the ruling dynasty, so Boris choosing Christianity, Slavic culture and literacy over the other options are not surprising, after all, his best friend and closest ally were Grand Zupan Sivin, another Slav.
    Secondly, the First and Second Bulgarian Empires were Slavic, not Turkic civilizations, even the Pliska-Preslav, a Slavo-Bulgarian material culture, was predominately Slavic. Furthermore, the names of the original Proto-Bulgar rulers weren't predominately Turkic but Indo-Iranian, whereas only two bore Slavic names and two had genuine Turkic names - this tells us that the ruling elites of the migrating Proto-Bulgars were heterogeneous, rather than homogeneous.
    Thirdly, The identity of the Proto-Bulgars has never been properly defined. Additionally, the Bulgars used the title "Khan" (hint: it was already mentioned that the only attested Bulgar royal title from the primary sources is "Kanasubigi" (which, some are translating through the Slavic "Knyaz u Bogu", meaning "ruler by God", a phrase which itself is common in the rest of the early Bulgar inscriptions written on Greek). The Bulgars being Turkic? We’re addressing primary sources, not modern historians who thought “They came from the East, therefore they're Asians”. And if they're Asians and probably nomadic, then they must be Turkophones and Tengri-worshippers." Or as one of the modern Bulgarian historians put it: "Why are they Turkic? Because they worship Tangra. And why do they worship Tangra? Because they're Turkic." In other words, circular reasoning. Besides, how can the Bulgars be Turkic, considering they were first mentioned (in Europe, by the Romans, in the mid-4th century) long before the first Turks formed in their Asian homeland (6th century)? If someone wants to argue about the Bulgars being potentially and partially descended from the Huns (and the eventual later influences by the emerging Turkophone tribes such as the Khazars, Pechenegs, Cumans, etc) - that's a much more defensible point. But the classical Turkic theory has fallen under so much disrepute by modern scholarship that there are only two groups of scholars left still supporting it: communist hardliners and Westerners, who made no research of their own and are merely repeating what the old-time authorities had established as "the truth". In short, Proto-Bulgarians or 'Bulgars' weren't Turkic, but they used certain Turkic vocabulary and military terminology. They most likely originated in the North Caucasus and were linked to the late Sarmatian and post-Scythian populations. After ~460 AD there were some Oghur Turkic infiltrations among the nobility and Turkic influence in general, but the basis of the Bulgars is Indo-Iranian, not Turkic. One just needs to observe the Madara rider - its composition and symbolism refer to the Iranian cultural domain, not the Turkic one. The same goes for the treasures of Nad Sent Miklosh, Mala Pereshcepina, the temple ruins of Pliska, as well as the burial customs discovered in the mounds of Devnya, Nozharevo, Tuhovishte, and many others.

Slavic and Turkick languages does not coincide with ethnicity and genes as it is the case over whole world. Franks were Germanic tribe which founded a state with a majority of Romanized Celts in Gaul, which speaks Latin language French. French are neither Germans, Romans nor Celts but have a connection with them. First Bulgarian rulers left only written in Greek artifacts Madara horse inscription , Omurtag column, Persian inscription and so many as 150 found until today.The language they used there was Greek a few words were not Greek as the title they give themselves and it is ''KANAS IUBIGI'' which is translated ''PRINCE BY GOD" In modern Bulgarian,, KNIAZ OT BOGA""Ït sounds to me closer than HAN. Oversimplification of the history of proto-Bulgarians and assumptions about them are not correct . Turanian and Pan-Slavic propaganda is more political than scientific.Otherwise Americans from USA must be called Germaniks from BigestState in New World. Argentinians Romans from Patagonia and etc. Brazilians Romans from the province of Luzitania settled in Amazonia.When there were big migrations there were no pure races a Slavic speaker from Novgorod district even looksdiffrent from Slavic speaker from South Balkans The difference is as big as Germanic-speaking Jamaikian and Norwegian.

      The r-group is The Ancient Northwestern Division: (I) Volga Bolghar (Volga- Bulgarian or Hunno-Bulgarian). Modem: (2) Chuvash.

      More than a millenium of contact between Finno-Ugric (Mordvin, Mari and Permic) and Turkic languages (Bulgar-Chuvash and Volga Kipchak) in the Volga-Kama area have produced conditions of multilingualism and mutual linguistic influence.
      benjamins.com/catalog/tsl.108.23man
      The endangered Chuvash language is the only living representative of the Bulgar branch, the earliest offshoot of Proto-Turkic (PT), which is in many respects opposed to the Common Turkic (CT) languages. Evidence from Chuvash is of vital importance in reconstructing Proto-Turkic, particularly its phonology. Chuvash represents characteristic features of the Bulgar branch, such as two types of rhotacism (PT *ŕ > CT /z/, Bulg. /r/; PT *δ > Bulg. /r/ with /j/, /d/, /t/ and /z/ in different subgroups of CT), lambdacism (PT *λ > CT /š/, Bulg. /l/), the “Bulgar palatalization” (PT *s- > Bulg. /š-/ and PT *t- > Bulg. /č-/ in certain contexts) etc. (Dybo 2010; Róna-Tas & Berta 2011). These correspondences provide a more complete reconstruction of the Proto-Turkic phonological system.
      liberalarts.utexas.edu/lrc/extras/ichl/savelyev-crucial-role-of-chuvash-dialects.php
      The author has shortly surveyed the history of the widening of the term "Bulgar-Turkic phonological criteria". The last summary of the results of research on the Bulgar-Turkic criteria and their chronological validity was made by Lajos Ligeti in his monograph on Turkic-Hungarian linguistic interrelations (1986). In the paper the author has presented several recent Middle Bulgar-Turkic loans of the Volga Kipchak dialects, following Ligeti's criteria: (1) the prothetic y-; (2) the initial š < si/sï; (3) Ancient Turkic -n ∼ Chuvash -m.
      www.jstor.org/stable/23658336?seq=1
      As mentioned above, we find that Chuvash and Volga Bulgar have r and I in positions where the other Turkic languages have z ands respectively:
      (I) Turkic z = Chuvash r:
      a) Tk. boz= Chu. pir 'cloth, linen' b) Tk. yiiz= Chu. ier '100'
      c) Tk. qaz- =Chu. xlr- 'dig'
      (2) Turkics = Chuvash /:
      a) Tk. ta'S =Chu. eu/ 'stone'
      b) Tk. -miS, -mlt (as in altm1s '60'. yetmis '70') =Chu. -ma/, -me/ '10' (asinutmBI'60',iitme/'70')
      This same rand I in Chuvash and Volga Bulgar, in some other instances also correspond to a Turkic r and /:
      (3) Turkicr=Chuvashr:
      a) Tk. kara =Chu. xura 'black' b) Tk. urt = Chu. piirt 'hut, tent' c) Tk. gor- =Chu. kur- 'see'
      (4) Turkic I = Chuvash /:
      a) Tk. ba/Jk =Chu. pula 'fish'
      b) Tk. e/ma = Chu. ulma 'apple' c) Tk. ogul= Chu. Iva/ 'son'
      prism.ucalgary.ca/bitstream/handle/1880/51428/021_Winter_99_Therien.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y
      The Turkic languages are further divided, whether one believes in Altaic unity or not, according to various characteristics, such as geography, or as follows, phonology. The first language to diverge from the rest of the Turkic languages is Chuvash (and Volga-Bulgar, which is either Old-Chuvash, or at some point merged with it), based on it exhibiting r and l where the others have z and s, respectively. For instance, the Bulgar word for 'nine' is taxar, while its cognate in Oguz is toquz.
      For the purposes of this paper, the r/l - z/S division is the most important, so that with the exception of Chuvash and Volga Bulgar, the Turkic languages will be treated as a whole unit.

      The Proto-Bulgarian language, whose Turkic character is fully proved, was the first Turkic language that came in contact with the language of the Slavs who lived on the Balkan Peninsula at the end of the 5th century until the second half of the 7th century, when the peninsula was populated by Proto-Bulgarians.

      In this paper, the Bulgar-Turkic (Late Old Bulgarian = LOB) loanwords of the Proto-Perm ian period of the Perm ian languages are discussed.
      Contrary to W ichmann (Tschuw. Lehnw.) and others (e.g. Pedotov, 1st. svjazi
      I -II) only those loans are regarded to be from the Proto-Perm ian period
      which occur, besides Votyak, not only in the P (= Permyak) dialect of the
      Zyryan language, b u t also in its northern dialects (Lu., Le., S, Y, Pech., I, Vm.,
      Ud., etc.).
      real-j.mtak.hu/3483/1/ActaOrientalia_37.pdf
      The Bulgar-Turkic, or Chuvash loans in the Permian languages fall into three groups: a/ loan-words taken from Middle Bulgarian (= MB) in the Proto-Permian period (20-22 words); b/ MB loan-words in the Permyak (= P) dialect of Syryan borrowed through Votyak mediation (9 words); c/ Chuvash loan-words in Votyak. These words, according to Wicbmann (1903) amount to about 130, but
      the actual number of the Chuvash elements in Votyak is considerably larger. On the first two groups of loan-
      *-words see Redei--Rona-Tas (1972, 1975). An up-to-date study of the Chuvash elements in Votyak is still to be done.

      The old Bulgar language has otherwise left only slight traces in Modern Bulgarian. Apart from a small corpus of proper names (for example, Борис “Boris”; Крум “Krum”) and military and administrative titles from the time of the First Bulgarian Empire, only a handful of Bulgar words has survived in Modern Bulgarian. Words which are considered to be almost certainly of Bulgar origin are, for example: бъбрек “kidney”, бисер “pearl”, кумир “idol”, чертог “castle”. Some of these words even spread to other Slavic languages through Old Church Slavonic.
      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_vocabulary
      However, while in these examples the source dialect of Old Turkic can be identified with reasonable certainty only as Bulgar Turkic
      real.mtak.hu/107544/1/062.2016.69.4.3
      The Turkic family is fundamentally divided into two distinct branches, known as Bulgar Turkic and Common Turkic, although this division is often not highlighted in the literature, presumably because the Bulgar Turkic branch, although it represents the first historically attested Turkic expansion from Asia to Europe, is survived by a single modern language, Chuvash.

      The etymology of three Mari words (činče ’perl’, šaman < šam-an ’tasty’ and šüγar ’grave’) are reconsidered by the author. She argues for the Volga ¬Bulgarian origin of all of them in the light of the new results of research on affricates in West Old Turkic varieties of the Oguric type (named formerly as Bulgar Turkic). In the case of činče ’pearl’ the donor Volga Bulgarian dialectal forms of non-Chuvash type can be reconstructed as *činčü ~ *čünčü ~ *činči and the ¬borrowing can be interpreted as a direct one. In the other two words the Volga Bulgarian donor forms had an initial *ś (Volga Bulgarian *śam, *śükär) but its Mari equivalents with š refer to Kazan Tatar (in the Middle Kipchak period) as the intermediary language.

      The earliest divergence of the Proto-Turkic language unity is the divi-
      sion into the ‘Bulgar’ and ‘Common Turkic’, or ‘Standard Turkic’ groups. A number of arguments (the dating of the Old Chinese loans into Proto-
      Turkic; different glottochronological calculations) force us to place this division into the time space on the boundary of the Christian Age, no
      later than the 3
      rd
      century 󰁡.󰁤. The only offspring of the Bulgar branch
      still alive is Modern Chuvash, but the earlier stages of the proper Bulgar
      phonetic history are still reconstructable on the basis of the data of the
      early loans from the languages of the Bulgar group into other languages.
      The Bulgar loans into Hungarian, numbering about 400 words, are the
      most informative material for this topic.
      Below are the phonetic features of the Bulgar group compared to the
      Standard Turkic ones.

      5) The preservation of the glide initials of the falling diphthongs in Bulgar
      and their disappearance in ST.
      The Bulgar loanwords in Hungarian can be divided into two groups. In the
      first group the assumed appearance of the Turkic prototypes is very close
      to the Proto-Turkic stage (excluding the ‘Bulgar palatalization’: the change

      before *

      ). In the second group the prototypes appear to be
      extremely similar to the prototypes of Danube Bulgar loanwords in the South Slavic languages. So, the first group should be considered among
      ‘the Pre-Conquest Layer’ (Róna-Tas 1988, 752)-these were the loans oc-
      curring in the territory of Volga-Kama (or, as A. Róna-Tas now prefers to
      believe (Róna-Tas 2005, 436-438), Don-Kuban) area (5-7
      th
      centuries 󰁡.󰁤.).
      The other group of the Bulgar loans in Hungarian are, apparently, the
      loans from the Danube Bulgar, which were acquired in the territory near
      present-day Hungary; the adaptation rules for their phonetics in Hun-
      garian are almost identical to the adaptation rules of early Slavic loans,
      which appeared in Hungarian in the time period ‘chronologically near to
      the Hungarian conquest of the Lower Danube region (895-900 󰁡.󰁤.)’-

      Common, from antiquity until today there always had been connections between lands of Celts and what is Bulgaria today. Few cities including the capital were founded by Celtic tribe Serdi, Sophia started as Serdika en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serdi .There was Celtic invasion in Balkans. James David Bourchier is an Irish journalist a friend to Bulgaria buried in Rila Monastiry Bulgaria (a honour given to those who contributed with their life for Bulgarians,the only foreigner who received this honour) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_David_Bourchier .

    At the time,the new Khazar qaganate was expanding westward,squeezing out the Onogurs,or Bulghars as they begin to be named. One of the Kuvrat’s sons,the Asparuch (Asparux,Isperih) now celebrated as the founder of Bulgaria,forcibly crossed to the Danube arpund 679 to occupy imperial territory Moesia after defeating the forces of Constantine IV (668-685). The event is recorded in the preserved text of a Hebrew letter of a Khazar qahan,who wrote that the Vununtur(=Onogurs=Bulghars) has fled across the Duna,the Danube. Even if numerous for the steppe,Asparuch’s pastoralist warriors and their families were of necessity relatively few as compared to the agricultural Slav population that lived south of the Danube,and thus the Turkic-speaking Bulghars were assimilated linguistically by the Slav majority to form the medieval and modern Bulgarians. This particular ethnogenesis occuree gradually over a period of more than two centuries: there was the Turkic qan (or khan) Krum (803-814),Qan Omurtag (814-831),Qan Perssian (836-852),then the wan who converted Boris I (852-889);then came Tsar Symeon (893-923), Tsar Peter I (927-970),and so on.But this transformation of Turkic shamanists into Slavic Christians did nothing to diminish the warlike character of the empire’s new neighbours. Because even warlike neighbours can be useful at times,the relations between the empire and the new Bulghar qaganate encompassed every possible variation,from intimate allience to all out-war,as exemplified by the career of the Bulghar qan or khan Tervel (or Tarvel-Terbelis in our Greek sources),the successor and probably son of Asparukh who ruled for some twenty-one years within the period 695-721,extant chronologies being inconsistent.

    The sons weren't five. Most Likely two or three. Altsek or Altsiok is an earlier warlord, that latter sources contected with the disintegration of Old Great Bulgaria. Kuber is also unknown, he is connected to Kubrat and Asparukh, because on one of the stone sourcers at the Madara sight, of Tervel states "My uncles in macedonia" or something like that - implying that the bulgars of Kuber who settled there were also connected to the rulling family of the Dulo Clan.
    They also weren't a small elite, but rather a sizable migration group and not a single tribe.
    Not to mention, they'd already raided and migrated to the Eastern Roman Empire - Zabergan.

    Cyril and Methodius did not create the bulgarian alphabet. They created the glagolithic which never really took hold and fell into disuse within a few decades. It's in the Preslav literary school that the cyrillic was born with the bulgarian monks Kliment, Naum, Gorazhd, Angelarius they are who created what we call the cyrillic alphabet. Cyril was long dead when this alphabet was created. It appears that Kliment was the central figure in the creation of this alphabet.

    It is not possible that Old Great Bulgaria, as the Roman historians call it, existed for a short time, because then it would not be old and great. Asparukh did not create a new state, but only inherited his father's empire, which lost territories in the east but regained territories occupied by the Roman Empire in the southwest. It is impossible for a state that has collapsed to defeat the Eastern Roman Empire and its 60,000 army. It is obvious that in the war in 679 the empire of Old Great Bulgaria defeated the Eastern Roman Empire.

    Bulgarians are not Turks or Slavs. Some Bulgarians are linguistically Slavonic, some are not.
    The Russian Alexander Dmitrievich Chertkov (1789-1858) was the first to launch the lie that Asparukh's Bulgarians, who in 680 created a state south of the Danube, were a small horde that the Slavonic tribes assimilated. This outright lie, created by Chertkov in 1842, has been raised by Russian propaganda and dogmatically enforced in historical science in Russia and Bulgaria since 1878. Chertkov was a hereditary nobleman, his national self-esteem growing, especially after the war of 1812. From 1822 Chertkov began to deal with history. He visited Italy and was the first to decide that the Slavonic tribes should be ancient. That is why he began to look for them before the 6th century AD (when they are first mentioned in the sources). Chertkov is the founder of the theory that the Thracians are Slavic. He develops the idea that Thracians emigrating north from the Danube to the Baltic Sea are the future Slavs. Chertkov was the first to present the Old Bulgarian translation of the "Manasses Chronicle" with the notes of the Bulgarian translator, but as a true "gray cardinal" of Pan-Slavism, Chertkov did not hesitate to lie that the Bulgarians were not "numerous" and that the Slavs had assimilated them. Since then, this lie has been repeated in every book on Slavic history, despite the fact that the in the old original text the exact opposite was written, namely that the Bulgarians were “numerous” in comparison to the Slavonic tribes, which were subjugated by Asparukh's Bulgarians. This fact is recorded not only in the Manasses Chronicle, there are other sources about the "numerous" Bulgarians in the year 680. The Bulgarians, as the sources say, were "like the sand in the sea" (a Khazar-Jewish correspondence from the 10th century, which refers to Bulgarians at the end of the 7th century), an "innumerable majority" ("Roman History" (Book 2, 2). Nicephorus Gregoras).

A comparison according to the genetic makeup across all of Europe between Bulgaria and an actual turkic country such as Turkey shows the Asiatic influence in Turkey varies from about 10 to 30 percent while in Bulgaria varies from 1 to less than 2 percent and from 2 to about 2.5 in muslimized Bulgarians such as the Pomaks. These numbers are lower than most of the other Balkan countries. Not that it actually maters as our statistics are relitavly close. Numbers as low as these have no effect on our bodies and are part of what science calls junk dna. The actual reasons why we are called Mongolians or Turkic or Tatars are coming from political or geopolitical reasons. Our ancestors have been here long before the said year of 681or any other linguistic group from the Slavic branch. All the name calling lies will not change the facts. N. Macedonia has been Bulgarian throughout most of our history here and we share a genetic resemblance like no other on the continent. Followed closely by Moldavia and especially by Wallachia.

    This was an interesting and well-told narrative of 300+ years of wars and successions and new invasions and conquests and victories and losses. But I was curious: how did people live?

What were the sources of wealth and labor that went into weapons and campaigns?

    To all the turks, brainwashed by their imperialistic propaganda, claiming the Bulgars/Bulgarians are of turkic origin. Bulgar and Bulgarian is the same thing. No source before the 18th century says they are different. There is no such thing as "proto-bulgarian", there is no source using that term before the 18th century. Bulgarians have always been Bulgarians. In the 18th century a French and German scholars who never visited the Bulgarian lands made that foolish mistake that the Bulgarians are of turkic origin. After that every scholar claiming that, quoted or repeated their mistakes. The Bulgarian folklore(older than the turks) has nothing to do with the turkic traditions.That is one of the many examples showing that Bulgarians have nothing to do with the turks. If you claim that the Bulgarians are of turkic origin show me real sources before the 18th century. Not works full of mistakes and nonsense made for political aims.

    There is actually no evidence the royal bulgar title was "khan". This is just a supposition that has no basis other than opinion of a few early historians which has thereafter been perpetuated with no evidence to back it.
    Secondly it's highly unlikely the bulgars were nomadic. The bulgars built monumental buildings both in Volga and Danube Bulgaria soon after arriving in these lands. Nomadic tribes do not create buildings like these. The ruins found in what is now Ukraine (the land of Old Great Bulgaria) also shows similar monumental stone construction that is very unsupportive of the nomadic lifestyle theory. Another myth that has been perpetuated over the decades - repeated over and over until it seems like truth.

    the pictures on the vudeo are not coherent with what is told. And the speaker speaks way to fast, so it is very difficult to follow.

    Science, 14 February 2014, Vol. 343 no. 6172, p. 751, A Genetic Atlas of Human Admixture History, Garrett Hellenthal at al.: " CIs. for the admixture time(s) overlap but predate the Mongol empire, with estimates from 440 to 1080 CE (Fig.3.) In each population, one source group has at least some ancestry related to Northeast Asians, with ~2 to 4% of these groups total ancestry linking directly to East Asia. This signal might correspond to a small genetic legacy from invasions of peoples from the Asian steppes (e.g., the Huns, Magyars, and Bulgars) during the first millennium CE."
    Around 4% of Bulgarian genes are derived outside of Europe and the Middle East or are of undetermined origin (by 858 CE), of which 2.3% are from Northeast Asia and correspond to Asian tribes such as Bulgars,[13] a consistent very low frequency for Eastern Europe as far as Uralic-speaking Hungarians.
