December 29-31. Thank you for all coming season's greetings to Dr

Some responses: re: Congratulations by Dr Valeriu Sirbu (Romania)
December 28, 2006. A conversation on the phone with Acad. K.
Kosev, the Second President of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences.
Main points: Archaeological Institute with Museum, Sofia, has not
answered any of the letters sent since April 2005 by Dr Lolita
Nikolova, an invitation to the Reception of the Bulgarians Abroad and
Their Friends on 18 July 2007 in Karlovo and for the world Bulgarian
Convention, Salt Lake, 2008. A letter was e-mailed to describe some
details [please e-mail to request a copy of the letter if interested].
December 24, 2006. Checking the publications of the excavations of
Dubene-Balinov Gorun in 2004 , it became clear that the criminal
investigation has positive results - now we know a little bit more, but
nobody knows when we will know the whole truth? Who will excavate
the site of Balinov gorun next year after all? Who will give a
permission to Martin Hristov and on which if so? You can see the big
difference yourself comparing the text before the beginning of
investigations and after that (In English and in Bulgarian, .pdf file).
December 23, 2006. Review of the website of the Archaeological
Institute and Museum at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
(http://aim.sofianet.net). Missing the most important information - the
changed dates for reports of 2006 excavations, which will be in
February 2007 and not in March - the beginning of April 2007.
A letter about a "barbarous" activity of a leading Bulgarian company
is a subject of a denunciation of the Director, Dr Vassil Nikolov, but
the last is famous with fabricating of actions to defend his strange
social behaviour using non-ethically even the media, including in
this case translation in English of a letter without proved facts and
with a series of grammatical mistakes even in Bulgarian (in
English). This letter is a typical instance for the Archaeology World
for what has been going in Bulgarian archaeology (and what was its
past) and how the corrupted acts when makes mistakes trying to
make the other side 100 % guilty. It can be published as a best
instance in a textbook of Corrupted Archaeology. Can you see in the
letter a sign of self-criticism and possible mistakes done by Vassil
Nikolov? For sure, if the letter is even in English, most probably the
arrow of the accusation should go against him. But I am tired playing
the role of Agatha Christy to try to learn the truth about Balinov gorun.
It looks like to cover his malice activities, Dr Vasil Nikolov has been
oriented toward enormous elementary publications of excavations
(unfortunately of very low-quality) and invited the president of BAS to
be a patron of a new exhibit in December 2006 - at time when we
have been waiting the Archaeological Institute to act and to free the
Bulgarian archaeology from the most recent disaster. But obviously
we have to wait till the end of next year.
Among the missing information on the AIM website are also the
letters of critics of the Director's activities and behaviour received in
the Institute, and his other denunciations based even on falsification
of data, as well as his typical phone calls to talk against his
colleagues.
December 23, 2006. Toncho Bonev (Karlovo) e-mailed us his
proposal Help the Bulgarian Medics (in Bulgarian) (pdf file)
December 23, 2006. Christmas and New Year Greetings. (in
Bulgarian) (pdf file)
December 23, 2006. Lolita Nikolova signed the Petition for Free the
Bulgarian Medics in Libya (71298) at
http://www.petitiononline.com/bulgaria/petition.html
December 18, 2006. Exhibit at the Marriott Library, University of Utah,
Salt Lake City, Utah: Studying Balkan and Northwest Anatolian
Prehistory. Information and display of books available at the Marriott
Library and at the International Institute of Anthropology. The exhibits
is arranged in 4 display cases on the second floor and will continue
until the end of January.
December 18, 2006. Some of the finds from Balinov gorun were
given to Karlovo just to be seen by the community from the Upper
Stryama valley during an exhibit in City Gallery for the Christmas
holidays. The National Museum of History was presented by Dr
Tsvetana Kyoseva who made positive impression to the Karlovians
who attended the official opening (Special Christmas Greetings to
her). The finds came after a visit of Bozhidar Dimitrov on 7 Nov 2006
who left absolutely negative impression in Karlovo and obviously did
not feel confident to go again.
Despite the exhibit looks like a results of our fight to return the finds,
it is in fact not true. NIM gave the finds to try to cover the affair from
this summer when a dagger "fell from the sky" and it is still unclear
what else would be reported - two silver vessels, a silver small box
and a bronze dagger, or a silver small box and a silver dagger.
It remains unclear why so many respectful Bulgarian archaeologists
still stay behind this affair. I believe it is the fair that the truth would
possibly decrease the financial support of the archaeological
excavations and many other benefits they have. So, they prefer to
play the role of stupid and "believing" (for the public) in something
which is unbelievable and has the absolute signs of deep and
cancer like corruption and even criminal signs. You need to be an
anti-person in order to support demonstrated everyday and every
hour anti-social activity of the head of AIM DrSc Vassil Nikolov (What
about this smile from the period of the Cold War, a smile like a
social evil that made the people stop smiling in past and now gives
rise of social anger since we do not know our children even to
imagine what we have been witnessed during the Cold War?)
