Ancient technology

A bone workshop and an oil lamp shop have been unearthed in the ancient city of Aizanoi, located in the western province of Kütahya.

The excavations in Aizanoi, which is home to the best-preserved Zeus Temple in Anatolia and is also called the "Second Ephesus," have been carried out by the Kütahya Museum Directorate.

Most of the coffee vending machines and restaurants in the coastal city of Bourgas already offer biodegradable utensils and food packaging. The reason is a new European directive that bans 8 types of plastic products throughout the European Union, including in Bulgaria this summer.

As the coronavirus outbreak worsens around the world, a Turkish company has made a vending machine to dispense protective face masks and disinfectants in public places.

The machine is ideal for use in crowded public spaces such as subway stations and airports, according to Erdem Dinçsoy, who heads the company Elektral.

For four years ticket vending machines in the city trams and trolls have damaged the passengers with 70 000 BGN. This is the sum of the non-refunded change.

Hundreds of passengers in Sofia face this problem every day. They should have a finely prepared amount of BGN 1,60. Otherwise, they receive a ticket, but not a change.

Another vandal act with a Bulgarian origin on one of the Seven Wonders of the World has outraged users of social networks.

The inscription "Loko 2019" appeared on the The Great Pyramid of Giza. This shocked Bulgarian tourists who visited the tourist landmark in Egypt on January 5th. and they make photographs of the inscription carved in the ancient stone.

The 9th International Sand Sculpture Festival has opened in the southern province of Antalya's Lara beach. This year the festival was organized around the theme of the Seven Wonders of the World and mythology.
