Episode 34

Bulgaria

Bulgaria, full of ancient history, is home to the oldest European city, founded in 6000 BCE. Its culture includes folk songs often accompanied by bagpipes. This is such a significant cultural heritage that one such song was included in the infamous Voyager Golden Record, which journeyed into space onboard the Voyager spacecraft in 1977. Its population (6.8 million today) is on a decline since its peak in 1986 of 9 million. It’s only one of two nations whose population is lower today than it was in 1950.
