The French scientist (Maspero) played an important role in establishing the museum, as he worked to collect works of Coptic art and allocate a hall for them in the Egyptian Museum. Subsequently, Mark Pasha called Smika in 1893 AD to include the Coptic Antiquities Group in the interest of the Antiquities and Arts Committee. This man struggled for a long time until he was able to create the current building of the museum which opened in 1910 and appointed its first director.

Hundreds of wild peonies from the species of Paeonia Peregrina color in red the meadows and hills of the National archaeological reserve Yaylata near the village of Kamen Bryag in Bulgaria. The place was inhabited in the 6th millennium BC. Rock caves and necropolises date from that time. There is evidence that people were living in Yaylata later in time. One of the interesting finds is the early Byzantine fortress, built during the reign of Emperor Anastasius - V-VI century. Four towers and one gate tower have been partially preserved. During the Middle Ages the caves were used as a monastery complex. The Yaylata reserve is home for many animals and plants among which are the protected ones: European Shag, Little and Great bustard and more. In May when peonies bloom in red, King's spears add their yellow flowers turning the coast in a beautiful piece of heaven, Yaylata, Kamen Bryag, Bulgaria on May 12, 2020

Late antiquity fortress at cape St. Athanas. In the past 6 years, the tradition of celebrating Saint Athanasius day on 2 of May was resumed in Byala after more than 50 years of interruption. The saint is believed to be patron of the cape and even maybe of the late antiquity basilica found by archaeologists there. Traditionally, residents of the city carry the icon of the saint for several kilometres - from the center of Byala to the basilica, discovered within the limits of the late antique fortress of Cape St. Atanas. This year, because of the measures for the non-proliferation of the coronavirus, the celebration was held in the presence of only Father Ventsislav Tachev, who serves in the temple of Byala and officials. The Orthodox Church honors St. Athanasius twice a year - on January 18 - the day he was last proclaimed bishop of Alexandria and on May 2 - the day of his death. Historical evidence from the late 19th century indicates that in Byala, the saint was honored on May 2, with families gathering to celebrate exactly in the area where archaeological discoveries were made in 2009. Since 2014, the late antique fortress in Byala has become a tourist attraction and is open to visitors, Byala, Bulgaria on May 02, 2020
