St. Petersburg, Pushkin & The Hermitage

SUBSCRIBE:
In the morning your tour takes you outside of the city to the historical town of Pushkin. The drive will take you to the Egyptian Gates, the entrance to the Tsar's Village in Pushkin. Catherine's Palace in the Tsar's Village ranks as one of the masterpieces of world art. Peter the Great presented the estate to his wife Catherine in 1710 and on it, a small palace built by architect Braunstein. From this time until the time of the last Russian Tsar, Pushkin was used as the summer residence of the Royal Family. In 1756, Bartelomeo Rastrelli expanded the palace in Baroque style. Its grandiose, white and gold facade stretches 978 feet.
The palace tour takes you through the series of magnificent rooms, including the famous Picture Gallery, the Great Hall and the world famous Amber Room. The parks of the estate add to the splendor of the palace, and several of them are embellished with a number of charming pavilions. The town of Pushkin is famous not only for its remarkable palace and parks, but the man it was named after -- Alexander Pushkin. He was the most celebrated poet in the country and a resident of this town at the beginning of the 19th century.
After the tour, you'll continue to one of the dining venues for lunch after which, you'll drive back to the city for a tour of the Hermitage Museum, the largest art museum in Russia and the most prestigious museum in the world. The Hermitage Museum occupies the Winter Palace, the winter residence of the Russian Tsars and four more buildings.
Saint Petersburg, City Tour by Car - Russia 4K Travel Channel
After landing at the airport Pulkovo in St. Petersburg, our guide Vera and the driver Gerna expect us already at the airport. During our city tour by car in Saint Petersburg we want to visit Catherine Park 25 km south-east of St. Petersburg, the Hermitage Museum and make a short city tour.
First, we do not drive towards the center of St. Petersburg but to the south to the city of Pushkin. Pushkin was Russia's national poet. He spent 6 years here, visiting the Lyceum in Zarskoe Selo (Tsar village), as the village of Pushkin was called at that time.
After the October Revolution, one called it Detskoje Selo (Children's village). One accommodated orphaned children in the Alexander Palace. Later, Pushkin spent a few years there with his family, until he died. The admiration of Pushkin by the population can be explained by the fact, that the nobility in Russia spoke French until the Napoleonic Wars. Pushkin's works led to a change of heart.
At the entrance of the city, we pass the Egyptian Gate and the Cathedral of Saint Catherine. The cathedral was destroyed by the Soviets and restored only in 2010. Afterwards, we reach Pushkin's house, which is now a museum. During our visit, the Alexander Palace is closed for restoration. Catherine II built the palace for the future Emperor Alexander II. He gave the building to his brother Emperor Nicholas I.
The building served the last Czar Nicholas II and his wife Alexandra as a permanent place of residence. Here they lived a secluded life until their deportation, to protect their son, who was a hemophiliac.
After visiting the Katharine Palace, which we will show in a separate video, we leave Pushkin again and drive via the Moskovsky Prospect (Moskovsky Ave) to the north, in the center of St. Petersburg. This boulevard was once the connecting road between the Summer Palace (the Catherine's Palace) and the Winter Palace (Hermitage) and leads directly to Moscow today.
Buildings from the Stalin era characterize the boulevard. It starts at the Victory Square where a huge memorial reminds of the 24 to 40 million dead of the Soviet Union. Particular attention is paid to the deaths of the siege of Leningrad, some 1.1 million people died from starvation. One of the most monumental buildings is the House of the Soviets with a typical Lenis statue on the square in front.

Nach unsere Landung am Flughafen Pulkowo in St. Petersburg werden wir von unserer Reiseleiterin Vera und unserem Fahrer Gerna abgeholt. Geplant ist der Besuch des Katharinenparks, der Eremitage und eine kurze Stadtrundfahrt.
Wir fahren zunächst nicht nach Norden in das Zentrum von St. Peterburg, sondern nach Süden nach Puschkin. Puschkin war Russlands Nationaldichter, der hier 6 Jahre das Lyceum in Zarskoje Selo (Zarendorf), wie der Ort Puschkin damals genannt wurde, besuchte. Nach der Oktoberrevolution nannte man den Ort Detskoje Selo (Kinderdorf), da man im Alexanderpalast verwaiste Kinder unterbrachte. Später verbrachte Puschkin hier im Ort einige Jahre mit seiner Familie bis zu seinem Tod. Seine Verehrung im Volk ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass der Adel bis zu den napoleonischen Kriegen in Russland französisch sprach. Puschkins Werke führten zu einem Sinneswandel.
Am Ortseingang passieren wir das ägyptische Tor und die St. Catherine Cathedral, die erst 2010 wieder restauriert worden war, nachdem sie von den Sowjets zerstört worden war. Anschließend erreichten wir Puschkins Wohnhaus, das heute ein Museum ist. Der Alexanderpalast war wegen Restaurierung geschlossen. Er ist von Katharina II. für den zukünftigen Kaiser Alexander II. erbaut worden. Dieser überließ den Bau seinem Bruder Kaiser Nikolaus I.
Als ständiger Wohnsitz diente der Bau aber dem letzten Zaren Nikolaus II und seiner Frau Alexandra. Hier führten sie ein zurückgezogenes Leben bis zu ihrer Deportation, um ihren Sohn, der ein Bluter war, möglichst zu schützen.
Nach der Besichtigung des Katharinenpalastes, die in einem eigenen Video gezeigt wird, verlassen wir Puschkin wieder und fahren über den Moskovsky Prospekt (Moskovsky Ave) Richtung Norden in das Zentrum St. Peterburgs. Diese Prachtstraße war einst die Verbindungsstraße zwischen Sommerpalast (Katharinenpalast) und Winterpalast (Eremitage) und führt heute direkt nach Moskau.
Die Straße ist gekennzeichnet durch Bauwerke aus der Stalin Ära. Sie beginnt beim Siegesplatz, wo ein riesiges Mahnmal an die 24 bis 40 Millionen Toten der Sowjetunion erinnert. Besonders bedacht werden die Toten der Belagerung von Leningrad, der ungefähr 1,1 Millionen Tote durch Verhungern zum Opfer fielen.

St Petersburg Russia Hermitage Museum Leonardo da Vinci Paintings our 2 Hour Visit in 6 minutes
We visit the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg after lunch on our day in St Petersburg. In this 6 minute video, I show you the top highlights of what we saw over the 2 hours we spent in this gorgeous museum.
We entered the museum at around 2pm (the allocated time on our group ticket - all taken care of by our private tour guide). We spent about 2 hours in this museum on a whirlwind tour. Our guide brought us to see all the interesting exhibits (well at least the more famous ones), and it was indeed quite a whirlwind tour because the place was big and there were many people. That said, thanks to our guide, we got to see many interesting exhibits including the Peacock clock, several paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, an unfinished sculpture by Michelangelo, and a vase from 4th Century BC, and even an Egyptian Mummy. There was certainly more to see in the museum but we didn't have the time. I didn't know what to expect before coming here, but it was cool. A crowded place, so be careful of your belongings.

Cairo - Moscow flights resume
Tourism in Egypt is set to be the greatest beneficiary of the resumption of flights between Moscow and Cairo. The sector has suffered greatly since Russia banned all flights to and from Egypt more than two years ago. It followed the downing of an Egyptian passenger jet over the Sinai in October 2015. The flight ban was lifted earlier this month, as Yasser Hakim reports.

The difference between Kemet & European freemasonry 3:00 sec
Whats the difference between Kemet Freemasonry and European freemasonry? The African (Egyptian) Mystery System.
Sacred Knowledge of Kemet dates back to The Creator of heaven, earth, & our creation. European freemasonry started
In Edinburgh Scotland,1717. The Lodge of Edinburgh (Mary's Chapel) No. 1… is where European freemasonry has it’s start.
The “ Anderson's Constitutions” , the bylaws of the Grand Lodge of England, which is Freemasonry's oldest extant lodge, cites religious toleration, truth, loyalty to local government, and political compromise as basic to the Masonic ideal.
Except
1 Commandment
One law. Romans 13:8
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
This is it.
“For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing GOD riches on all who call.”
John 13:35
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
‘
The westerners were blinded by.
The huge Pyramids… Mysterious Monuments.
So
Europeans to label there movement freemasonry.
Mason, brick mason, or bricklayer, a craftsman.
They Missed The Point!
“ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL”
The one thing European freemasonry has not accomplished.
Left missing in practice by design.
The Euorpeans wish to accept credit and ownership for the sciences.
Knowledge of how to create a prefect society was given directly from God to all. Woman & Man.
God Is real & will help us if we ask.
European freemasonry attempting to leave out that basic principle of Equality & love, is the reason for its failings.
This loss Makes The science, math, and philosapy, null and void.
The Western man’s attempt to appropriate God’s sciences,
Is what They call freemasonry.
God shows no partiality.
The earth is our Creators plan of power, and love.
This is Something, The African (Egyptian) Mystery System taught & understood.
This is the secret of Kemets prosperity and greatness.
The reason for our success
“This Christine Lord has sent us forth to open up the gates of dawn. Through
Christ all men may enter into light and life. “
Love is the “missing link”
John 8:32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will MAKE you free.”

Nazi plunder
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
=======
Nazi plunder refers to art theft and other items stolen as a result of the organized looting of European countries during the time of the Third Reich by agents acting on behalf of the ruling Nazi Party of Germany. Plundering occurred from 1933 until the end of World War II, particularly by military units known as the Kunstschutz, although most plunder was acquired during the war. In addition to gold, silver and currency, cultural items of great significance were stolen, including paintings, ceramics, books, and religious treasures. Although most of these items were recovered by agents of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program (MFAA, also known as the Monuments Men), on behalf of the Allies immediately following the war, many are still missing. There is an international effort underway to identify Nazi plunder that still remains unaccounted for, with the aim of ultimately returning the items to the rightful owners, their families or their respective countries.
