Tamghas

In essence and function, the heraldic sign tamgha of the Proto-Bulgarian ruler clan Dulo is a sign of ownership with one primary-basic function-the possession, and two secondary-derived and additional functions-the representative (representative) and the protective (apotropheic). Khan Asparuh ordered the tamgha of the Dulo clan to be carved on a suitable stone to be built over the main gate of the Belgorod Fortress as a sign that there is a descendant of the Dulo clan, who is also a ruler, a khan of the entrusting Proto-Bulgarian tribes. He directed the repair of the Drustress fortress and ordered the tamgha of Dulo clan to be carved on the fortress walls. The wall in front of the village of Byala, Varna district is the last and the most southern wall that Khan Asparuh builds. On it the tamgha of the Dulo clan is carved between two Runic letters, so the whole inscription translates as The State of Dulo. The urns with the ashes of the khans and their wives from the First Bulgarian Kingdom are stored in a special pit into the most hidden underground tunnel connected to the palace of Khan Krum. The title канартигин is formed on the basis of the Proto-Bulgarian expression *каган-ирт-тикин, literally "prince-after-kagan", i.e. "crown prince".

The Heraldic Sign Tamgha of the Proto-bulgarian Ruler Clan Dulo has three functions - possessive, representative and protective. The Dulo clan is the ruler clan of the Proto-Bulgarian tribe Onogury, which is mainly mentioned in the Nominalia of the Bulgarian Khanes from the time of the First Bulgarian Kingdom, but was testified just after the New Era in the ancient Chinese chronicles. The Tamgha was created and used long before the New Era in Inner Asia as a means of marking and proving the right to ownership of the livestock and pastures owned. In its representative function, it is used for the first time during a burial in an ancient Chinese pyramid of a Chinese Empress by origin of the Dulo clan. The sign was discovered on the lands of Northern Black Sea and Transylvania, but its use and distribution was especially frequent on the territory of the First Bulgarian Kingdom after its foundation by Khan Asparuh in 681. At present, the heraldic sign Tamgha of the Proto-Bulgarian ruler clan Dulo is studied and described by Bulgarian epigraphs, historians and archaeologists not very detailed and inconsistent with its origin, essence and basic functions, and in the absence of an explanation for its specific use as a connection with a certain historical personality or event.

THE GOLDEN TREASURES OF THE BULGARIANS WHO SAVED THE HOLY CROSS-OF THE LORD
The exquisitely magnificent gold and silver vessels found on May 12, 1912, in the tomb of Khan Kubrat, the gilded sword with a wide leather belt, only the buckle of which is almost 0.5 kg of solid gold, the gold rings with its monogram and all other gold and silver objects, jewelry, ornaments and coins with a total weight of 25 kg for gold and 50 kg for silver, more than 800 in total, and in general are the largest, richest and uniquely unsurpassed in the world silver-gold treasure, widely known also as the Famous Treasure of Malaya Pereshchepina, and are masterpieces of proto-Bulgarian, Persian and Byzantine goldsmith art.
The Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum houses the world-famous and extremely highly artistic Golden Treasure of Nagy Saint-Miklos. It was found on July 3, 1799, by their Serbian farmer Voin Nehru, while digging, in the vineyard of the Bulgarian merchants, the Nakovi brothers from the Austro-Hungarian town of Nagy Szent-Miklós, inhabited by Bulgarians, Hungarians, and Romanians. The Nakovi brothers presented the treasure to Emperor Joseph II, who awarded them noble titles. Based on this story, the writer Moore Yokai wrote the novel Gypsy Baron, and the composer Johann Strauss created the operetta of the same name.
The treasure consists of 24 vessels of various shapes and sizes, made of the very high gold samples, mainly 21 and 22 carats: 8 large jugs, 1 dish or tray, 4 tassel shallow cups or bowls with hanging buckle, 4 cups, both of which can be called pitchers, 3 zoomorphic bowls, but rather cups or glasses, 2 pateras, ie. loose-shallow ladles, 1 rhyton or golden drinking horn, 1 deep and large cup or bowl, all with a total weight of 9,926 kg, i.e. almost 10 kg.
Near the present-day Poltava village of Malaya Pereschepina in Ukraine is buried our Bulgarian dear ancestor, the great Bulgarian and the Roman patrician Khan Kurt-Kubrat († 665); the founder and long-time ruler of the Caucasian Proto-Bulgarian Empire, Old Great Bulgaria, which is the second European Bulgarian state after the West Hun Empire of Atilla-Avitohol and the earlier one of New Great Bulgaria of Khan Asparuh; one of the most significant figures in Asia and Europe since the first half of the 7th century; a brave warrior crusader, a great commander, a skillful diplomat, the richest and most influential emperor of the entire then world, from the Chinese Empire to the east and the Roman Empire to the west; the Bulgarian ruler who dared to oppose the strongmen of the West Turkic and Avar Kaganates of the day; he defeated the mighty Sasanian-Persian Empire, prevented the death of the great Byzantine Empire and saved the Holy Cross of the Lord from Persian captivity.
Khan Kubrat imposes a powerful deadly blow on the Sasanidperpish Empire, prevents the destruction of the Byzantine Empire, saves and returns to Christianity the Holy Cross of the Lord. The Persians were defeated and the Holy Cross of the Lord was returned to his place in Jerusalem thanks only to the Bulgarians. The Coalition Greek-Bulgarian war with the Persians represents a sacred war in the form of a crusade. The Bulgarians are the first crusaders of the world and have the greatest merit and contribution to the entire Christian world and civilization because they are just exporting the main burden and solving the outcome of the war. It is precisely because of all this, and today, we Bulgarians, in no way and for any reason, to forget the great epoch of our native Bulgarian history, and with full right we can and should be proud to have saved the Holy Cross of the Lord and we have returned it to all Christians in the world, including ourselves.
