Veliki Preslav - the second capital of Bulgaria - was entitled with the mission to take Bulgaria all the long way to Christianity. The historical moment, however, helped create a favourable atmosphere for another phenomenon to come into being - a phenomenon that could be observed only in the biggest cultural centres in the world. This phenomenon was the adoption, development and fervent defence of the Slavonic alphabet, which was created by Cyril the
Philosopher and his brother - Methodious. After their students' defeat in Moravia and after destroying the hard work of decades, some of the most promising and prominent students found shelter and protection in Bulgaria. The new prince - Simeon, was highly educated and already knew the Slavonic "Az, Buki..." /"A, B, C ..."/. He vigorously devoted himself to incite and inspire a certain circle of literary men, translators and teachers. For a very short period of time in Preslav, there was established an
imposing library consisting of translated books - clerical and secular in essence, as well as original works by John Ekzarh, Chernorizetz Hrabar, Constantine Preslavski /photo - book/. Contemporaries tend to compare Simeon with Ptolomeus - the founder of Alexander's Library. And today we refer to this outflow of knowledge and literary progress as the Preslavian Literary School. Its powerful influence can be proved today through the wide spread of Cyrillic alphabet in the
Slavonic world. Simeon's library was robbed and destroyed. Yet, however, tens of written proofs reached us. Due to the archeological excavations, many inscriptions cut in stone, plaster, ceramics and engraved on slabs became known to the scientific world. All these items represent one of the most precious Epigraphic collections that is /actively and strictly/ preserved in the Preslavian museum.
There are immovable monuments exhibited in the exposition room of the Archeological Museum "Veliki Preslav" showing connection to three main periods in the town history:
~ Pre-capital city period / from the beginning of 9th c. to 893/;
~ Capital city period / 893-972/;
~ Post-capital period of Preslav / from 11th to 14th c./

Until the day when real archeological research was started, historians believed that Preslav was built around 893 and that it took tsar Simeon 28 years to finish it. Many facts and discoveries changed the initial ideas of how the town was once founded. Among some of the proofs are: examples of proto-Bulgarian ceramics; several pagan shrines and buildings lying right below the buildings from the Capital city period. Experts' analyses point out that the first building there probably dates back to the time of khan Krum and khan Omurtag - supposedly, the first quarter of 9th c. Actually, three inventory signs on marble and granite columns take us back to the first historical days of Preslav. The conclusion we could arrive at is that this was the place where ichirguboila /king's adviser and the second best warrior / resided along with other high-ranking officers. It is also clear that they possessed different quantity of weapons and ammunitions. Judjing from all that, we could claim almost for sure that Preslav was built as a military aul. This probably happened after the war which khan Krum led against Byzantium in 811. According to the historical sources, Bulgaria won the war but there were too many casualties among the civilians and the capital was all burnt down and ravaged.
