Wherever you dig in Bulgaria, a treasure is bound to crop up sooner or later. This is what renowned British historian Bettany Hughes found out after spending a few weeks there last year. The result of her explorations is the documentary Treasures of Bulgaria, available on Viasat World Bulgaria’s YouTube channel.

Whether she holds the oldest worked gold in the world, the one from the Varna necropolis, or visits Bulgaria’s newest archeological gem, the ancient city of Heraclea Sintica, breathtaking footage and Ms. Hughes’ remarkable storytelling reveal Bulgaria like never before.

This documentary was produced with support from the America for Bulgaria Foundation.
