Ancient cultures always attract curiosity. Because we know little about them, we judge only by the limited signs they left – mostly material, less written, and absolutely none – verbal or sound. Because often new finds cause astonishment, exclamations and sometimes literally rearrange our ideas about the world. Because many theories begin to sound downright incredible…
One such culture in the Late Bronze Age developed on both sides of the banks of the Danube River – in its lower and middle reaches. “The ceramics of this culture are exceptional – in terms of workmanship, decoration, shapes. Like amphorae, urns, all kinds of other cups… There is wonderful anthropomorphic plastic, wonderful zoomorphic plastic,” tells us Assoc. Prof. Dr. Stefan Alexandrov from the National History Museum - Sofia, Bulgaria. “This is a specific culture of inlaid ceramics, known in Bulgaria as the Baley-Orsoya culture – named after the two settlements where we find rich deposits with its artifacts. In scientific circles, this culture is also known as the Danube civilization” – adds Nikolay Kazashki from the Regional History Museum in Vidin, Bulgaria.
To achieve the decoration of its ceramics, this culture has mastered complex chemical processes, confirmed two or three centuries later and known to the world from finds in Egypt. The discoveries in Bulgaria are more recent and take us further back in time. They make us ask ourselves: Where and why did the people of the Danube civilization appear on our lands? With which other cultures and civilizations of that time are they connected? How were these connections made? And in general – are they present in our roots…
The new documentary popular science film “In Search of the Danube Civilization” is dedicated to all this – a production of the Futura Vision Production Center under a project and with the support of the National Fund for Culture - Bulgaria.
It features the names of the already mentioned historians and archaeologists, and museum curators Assoc. Prof. Dr. Stefan Alexandrov, Dr. Rositsa Manova, Nikolay Kazashki and Svetlana Todorova. Creative team: Stoyan Radulov, Georgi Krumov, Ulyana Arkhangelskaya, Svilen Orozki, Borislav Dryankov and others, consulted by Iliya Belitov.
Coming soon – in the spring of 2026.
