The idea is relate to the construction of a Historical Theme Park in the city where I live. I am from Blagoevgrad, a city located in southwestern Bulgaria. Today, the city of Blagoevgrad is located near Macedonia and Greece. Macedonia is only 20 km away and the border with Greece is about 80 km away. Once upon a time, in ancient times, the city was called Skaptopara. It was Thracian, briefly part of the empire of Alexander the Great, part of the Roman Empire, was Bulgarian, part of the Ottoman Empire and now again, part of the Republic of Bulgaria, which is also European Union member.

An important fact about the importance of the ancient settlement of Skaptopara is that in 1868 the Skaptopara inscription from 238 AD was discovered here. This inscription is bilingual, written in Greek and Latin and represents a request from the city's residents to the Roman Emperor Gordian III. This epigraphic monument, known as the Skaptoparen inscription, is proof that a civilization from the Roman-Thracian period existed here for centuries, that life, trade and crafts were thriving in the region.

Of about 20 km along the Struma River, on the territory of the Blagoevgrad municipality, are located the ruins of three fortresses, a Roman villa complex with a basilica and a necropolis, several Thracian mounds, a place where in ancient times there was a market and numerous ruins, remains of an ancient sanctuary and other buildings intended for various purposes. All this cultural and historical heritage is impossible to restore in real size. Access to some of the sites is difficult and impossible.

My idea aims to build a thematic park related to the history and lifestyle of the local population that inhabited this settlement for nearly 2000 years. The park will have miniature 3D models of the fortresses and ancient mounds and the settlement, in addition to models, there will be copies of artifacts, an ancient furnaces, military uniforms, helmets, all artifacts found during archaeological excavations during the time of research and studies by historians and archaeologists.

The funds related to this goal turned out to be too much for me. This why I created this page and am looking for financial support and the opportunity to implement the project.
