BARCELONAUTES / JITKA JIRÁROVA - GUIA TURISTICA - KUTNA HORA (REP. CHECA) 1
Kutná Hora es una ciudad, capital del distrito del mismo nombre en Bohemia Central, región de la República Checa.
Historia
Esta ciudad tiene su origen en las minas de plata que hay en sus cercanías. La explosión económica del siglo XIII dio gran relevancia a esta ciudad que llegó a competir con Praga en poder económico, cultural y político hasta bien entrado el siglo XVI. El citado boom económico fue debido en gran parte al título otorgado a las minas por Wenceslao II de Bohemia: Ius Regale Montanorum. En el documento que otorgaba el título se especificaban los términos administrativos y técnicos en los que habrían de explotarse las mismas. En 1420 el emperador Segismundo estableció en la ciudad la base militar desde donde atacar a los Taboritas durante las guerras husitas. Esta campaña militar acabó con la toma de la ciudad por Jan Žižka, conociendo entonces la ciudad otro periodo de esplendor económico. Después de la reconciliación de las partes contendientes, la ciudad fue incendiada por las tropas imperiales para evitar que volviese a caer en manos de los Taboritas. A lo largo del siglo XVI distintos hechos dieron lugar al comienzo del declive de la ciudad. Las minas se inundaron en 1541 y la insurrección de Bohemia contra Fernando I de Habsburgo hizo que la ciudad perdiera sus privilegios. La Guerra de los Treinta Años y varias epidemias de peste hicieron que la ciudad perdiese definitivamente toda la importancia que había tenido en el pasado.
Economía
La explotación de las minas data al menos del siglo X pues se han hallado dínares de plata de finales de la centuria en el asentamiento de Malín que en la actualidad forma parte de la ciudad.

The tall peaceful trees would be like the pipes of a great organ...; (Claude Debussy)
it is impossible not to be drawn upward, whether towards the spire of the church or cathedral or to the huge and daunting forest of pipes themselves. The organ dwarfs all comers, and unlike other instruments, it is this non-musical element which makes the organ stand apart. (Mike Harding)

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Hussites (Czech: Husité or Kališníci; Chalice People) were a pre-Protestant Christian movement that followed the teachings of Czech reformer Jan Hus, who became the best known representative of the Bohemian Reformation.
The Hussite movement began in the Kingdom of Bohemia and quickly spread throughout the remaining Lands of the Bohemian Crown, including Moravia and Silesia. It also made inroads into the northern parts of the Kingdom of Hungary (now Slovakia), but was rejected and gained infamy for the plundering behavior of the Hussite soldiers. There were also very small temporary communities in Poland-Lithuania and Transylvania which moved to Bohemia after being confronted with religious intolerance. It was a regional movement that failed to expand anywhere farther. Hussites emerged as a majority Utraquist movement with a significant Taborite faction, and smaller regional ones that included Adamites, Orebites and Orphans. Major Hussite theologians included Petr Chelcicky, Jerome of Prague, and others. A number of Czech national heroes were Hussite, including Jan Zizka, who led a fierce resistance to five consecutive crusades proclaimed on Hussite Bohemia by the Papacy. Hussites were one of the most important forerunners of the Protestant Reformation. This predominantly religious movement was propelled by social issues and strengthened Czech national awareness.
After the Council of Constance lured Jan Hus in with a letter of indemnity, then tried him for heresy and put him to death at the stake on 6 July 1415, the Hussites fought the Hussite Wars (1420–1434) for their religious and political cause. After the Hussite Wars ended, the Catholic-supported Utraquist side came out victorious from conflict with the Taborites and became the most common representation of the Hussite faith in Bohemia. Catholics and Utraquists were emancipated in Bohemia after the religious peace of Kutná Hora in 1485.
Bohemia and Moravia, or what is now the territory of the Czech Republic, remained majority Hussite for two centuries until Roman Catholicism was reimposed by the Holy Roman Emperor after the 1620 Battle of White Mountain during the Thirty Years' War. Due to this event and centuries of Habsburg persecution, Hussite traditions are merely represented in the Moravian Church, Unity of the Brethren, and the refounded Czechoslovak Hussite churches among present-day Christians.
