It could be even millenia older, taking in account things I saw in Nesebr f.e. It could be even as old, as Ancient Greece.
Yes, there are many ancient sites here - both from Ancient Greek and Roman times and even older Thracian pagan ritual grounds. But Bulgaria was officially founded in 681, so I misspoke when I said it's half a century older than Kievska Rus which came 2c. later.
I think Bulgarians lived there long before official foundation of state. People have to had a history of living in some place before official establishing of state or town, with exception of establishing a state in a colonial manner.
Yes, that's a good point. But it's hard to trace back when a tribe or a union of tribes becomes a meaningful entity and 'a people' and that's why we usually refer to an official founding dynasty. It's like tracing back the origins of a language - the more you go back, the less defined and characteristic it becomes.
St. Andrew preached the gospel in the Black Sea region in Thrace around modern day Varna and Sozopol.
We have kind of legend or myth that St. Andrew in his North tour reached Novgorod (Slovensk settlement at the time), but no artifacts or written evidences exists and Orthodox Christianity came back here only centures later.
