Archaeologist's Day – the Holiday of Ancient Discoverers
History, Tradition and Recognition
August 15 becomes an international Archaeologist's Day – a holiday for those who reveal the secrets of the past and preserve the world's cultural heritage. The tradition begins in the Soviet Union – as a playful ritual between expedition participants, but becomes a respected date adopted by several countries, including Bulgaria.
Archaeology – Science of the Past and Future
Uniting different disciplines – prehistory, classical and medieval archaeology, ecology, anthropology – archaeologists are guardians of knowledge. Bulgaria is rich in heritage: Thracian tombs, Roman cities, medieval fortresses, Byzantine architecture. Discoveries in the country lead to renewal of scientific knowledge and give a new boost to tourism and national pride.
Festive Events and Rituals
- Museums, institutes and universities organize exhibitions, lectures and archaeological demonstrations;
- Expeditions initiate new participants with rituals – with shovels, ancient techniques and lots of spirit;
- The day is an opportunity for public events for all ages – with a chance to touch history;
In Moscow in 2025, over 87,000 artifacts were discovered, and in Bulgaria, new geophysical studies and restorations renew knowledge and inspire the local community.
Significance and Consequences
- Archaeological finds are a bridge between past and future – strengthening national identity and inspiring new generations;
- The holiday is recognition of the curiosity, work and courage of archaeologists;
- Discovering history beneath our feet serves both science and citizens;
