Altes Museum, Berlin - Germany 4K Travel Channel
The Old Museum on Museum Island in Berlin houses the Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquities collection.
The entrance area forms a rotunda, which is derived from the Roman pantheon. In the niches you see statues that have been acquired by Frederick II and G.R. Bianconi.
In addition to jewelry, mainly vases, pots, reliefs, sarcophagi, sculptures and statues are exhibited on the two floors.
Again and again we marvel at the technical skill of the old masters, who lived 2- 3 thousand years ago.
The statues of Augustus and Livia reminded us of our recent visit to Rome.

Das Alte Museum auf der Museumsinsel in Berlin beherbergt die griechische, etruskische und römische Antikensammlung.
Den Eingangsbereich bildet die Rotunde, die dem römischen Pantheon nachempfunden wurde. In Nischen befinden sich im wesentlichen Statuen, die von Friedrich II. und G. R. Bianconi erworben wurden.
In den beiden Stockwerken werden neben Schmuck hauptsächlich Vasen, Töpfe, Reliefs, Sarkophage, Skulpturen und Statuen gezeigt.
Immer wieder staunen wir über die handwerklichen Fähigkeiten der alten Meister, die vor 2 bis 3 tausend Jahren gelebt haben.
Die Statuen von Augustus und Livia erinnerten uns an unseren letzten Besuch in Rom.

The Altes Museum - Berlin - Greeks dominating Germany
The Altes Museum (German for Old Museum) is a museum building on Museum Island in Berlin, Germany. Since restoration work in 2010–11, it houses the Antikensammlung (antiquities collection) of the Berlin State Museums. The museum building was built between 1823 and 1830 by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel in the neoclassical style to house the Prussian royal family's art collection. The historic, protected building counts among the most distinguished in neoclassicism and is a high point of Schinkel's career. Until 1845, it was called the Königliches Museum (Royal Museum). Along with the other museums and historic buildings on Museum Island, the Altes Museum was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999.

Alte's Museum, the former Königliches Museum and the Antikensammlung (antique collection)
In the 1820s, Berlin's great architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel devised a plan for a new museum bordering the garden. Built between 1825 and 1830, the Statue in front of the
Altes Museum was the first in the city, fashioned in the Greek style. It was situated across the garden from the King's Palace, which was demolished World War II.
Eighteen Ionic columns grace the front of this grand museum. The rectangular shaped building encloses two generous courtyards and a two-story centrally-located rotunda, based on the design on the Pantheon in Rome. The interior of the rotunda contains sculptures of gods of antiquity in the recesses of its walls.
Two statues flank the wide outdoor steps. Entitled Amazon and Lion Fighter, they were designed by August Kiss and Albert Wolff.
For more than a century, the Altes Museum was enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. However, as is true for much of Berlin, the museum did not survive World War II. Just prior to the end of the war, a tank truck exploded in front of the museum, destroying it completely.
After the war, the Altes Museum was the first of the group museums on Museum Island to be renovated and it reopened in 1966. Today, it houses the Antikensammlung (Museum of Antiquities) on its main floor. The permanent collection here includes a vast variety of ancient Greek and Roman decorative art including vases and statues.
[Wikipedia] Antikensammlung Berlin
The Antikensammlung Berlin (Berlin antiquities collection) is one of the most important collections of classical art in the world, now held in the Altes Museum and Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany. It contains thousands of ancient archaeological artefacts from the ancient Greek, Roman, Etruscan and Cypriot civilizations. Its main attraction is the Pergamon Altar and Greek and Roman architectural elements from Priene, Magnesia, Baalbek and Falerii. In addition, the collection includes a large number of ancient sculptures, vases, terracottas, bronzes, sarcophagi, engraved gems and metalwork.

In einem architektonischen Rahmen sitzt eine mit Chiton und Mantel bekleidete Frau. Ihr gegenüber steht eine weitere Frau in gleicher Gewandung und reicht ihr die Hand. Weiter hinten in der Reliefmitte ein älterer bärtiger Mann; er ist in einen Mantel gehüllt und umfasst mit beiden Händen einen Stock, wobei er sinnend das Haupt neigt und seine Rechte ans Kinn führt.
Bei den Figuren der klassischen griechischen Grabreliefs wird nicht die Darstellung der individuellen Erscheinung gesucht; die Reliefs sollen vielmehr Stimmungsbilder von Abschied und zeitloser Verbundenheit vermitteln.

Behind them, in relief, is an elderly bearded man, dressed in a coat and holding a stick with both hands. He thoughtfully bows his head and rests his chin on his right hand. The figures in classical Greek gravestones are not meant to represent individuals, but rather to convey a mood of parting and a timeless bond.

Edmund de Waal meets Albrecht Dürer
during the night
11 October 2016 to 29 January 2017
Over the past three years, the artist and writer Edmund de Waal (author of The Hare with Amber Eyes) has made repeated visits to Vienna to view a large number of objects both on display and in the storage rooms of the Kunsthistorisches Museum. The selection that he has made, gathered together under the title »During the Night«, takes as its starting point the 1525 depiction of a nightmare by Albrecht Dürer, kept in a book belonging to the Kunstkammer. Other representations of dream, anxiety, disonance, disquiet and the moment of transition between waking and sleeping have been chosen from the Picture Gallery, the Kunstkammer, the collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities, the Library, the Collection of Historic Musical Instruments, the Imperial Treasury and the Kunstkammer at Schloss Ambras in Innsbruck.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue, and the limited edition fault line produced by Edmund de Waal specially for the Kunsthistorisches Museum.

Jasper Sharp - Eröffnungsrede - Spitzmaus Mummy in a Coffin and Other Treasures.
Im Jahr 2012 startete das Kunsthistorische Museum eine neue Ausstellungsreihe, in deren Rahmen international renommierte Künstlerinnen und Künstler aus unterschiedlichen Kunstgattungen eine persönliche Auswahl an Objekten aus den Sammlungen des Hauses zu einer Schau zusammenstellen. Keine einfache Aufgabe, bestehen diese doch aus mehr als vier Millionen Objekten und umspannen einen Zeitraum von etwa fünftausend Jahren.
Den Anfang machte der Maler und Zeichner Ed Ruscha mit seiner Ausstellung The Ancients Stole All Our Great Ideas, gefolgt von dem britischen Keramikkünstler und Autor Edmund de Waal, der seine Auswahl mit During the Night betitelte. Die dritte Folge dieser Reihe wurde vom Filmemacher Wes Anderson und seiner Partnerin, der Autorin und Illustratorin Juman Malouf, kuratiert. Mit der Hilfe unserer Kuratorinnen und Kuratoren, Konservatorinnen und Konservatoren, haben Anderson und Malouf mehr als 400 Objekte aus allen vierzehn Sammlungen des Hauses ausgewählt. Darunter befinden sich ägyptische, griechische und römische Stücke aus der Antikensammlung, Gemälde Alter Meister, Gegenstände aus der Kunstkammer und der Kaiserlichen Schatzkammer, aus der Hofjagd- und Rüstkammer, dem Münzkabinett, der Sammlung alter Musikinstrumente sowie Objekte aus dem Theatermuseum, dem Weltmuseum, der Kaiserlichen Wagenburg und aus Schloss Ambras in Innsbruck. Auch eine Handvoll erlesener Gäste aus dem Naturhistorischen Museum hat in der Ausstellung Platz gefunden. Besonderes Augenmerk wurde diesmal unseren Depotbeständen gewidmet: Mehr als 350 der nun ausgestellten Objekte kommen direkt aus unserem Lager, viele davon werden zum ersten Mal überhaupt öffentlich präsentiert. Das Ergebnis erhielt den Titel Spitzmaus Mummy in a Coffin and other Treasures.
Die Zusammenstellung und Anordnung der Schätze – vom frühesten Stück, einer im Alten Ägypten aus Keramikperlen geknüpften Kette, zum jüngsten Objekt, einem fast 5.000 Jahre später in Indonesien aus Holz geschnitzten Affen – lassen die spektakuläre Bandbreite, Tiefe, Geschichte und Komplexität der Sammlungen des Kunsthistorischen Museums erahnen.
Die Ausstellung ist eine Kooperation des Kunsthistorischen Museums Wien mit der Fondazione Prada. Die Ausstellung wird ab Herbst 2019 in der Fondazione Prada in Mailand zu sehen sein. Die KuratorInnen sind Wes Anderson und Juman Malouf sowie Jasper Sharp, Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien, und Mario Mainetti, Fondazione Prada. Begleitend zur Ausstellung erscheint ein Katalog mit allen Abbildungen der ausgestellten Objekte sowie Textbeiträgen von Sabine Haag, Jasper Sharp und Wes Anderson.

THE JESUS MYTH 2 - ARE THE GOSPELS TRUE?
The Jesus Myth 2 - Are the Gospels True?
What if the Bible has got it wrong about Jesus? Put it this way - everything you thought you knew about Jesus is almost certainly wrong!
Scholars have known for years that the Gospels are simply inaccurate - a set of myths. The reason is that they are based on other myths of the time, on other miracle-working holy men who preceded Jesus. They did much the same as Jesus is supposed to have done - healed the sick, controlled the weather, even raised others from the dead.
James Lynn Page's 'The Christ Enigma -- The Jesus Myth and the Gospel Code' (available through Amazon in Kindle format) examines the work of scholars and archaeologists and shows how the Gospels were really written, when and why.
* You'll find out how the Turin Shroud was really made, and why.
* You'll discover the truth about Bethlehem, Nazareth, Judas, the Magdalene and the alleged Crucifixion of Christ.
* You'll also discover the existence of the Gospel Code, today known only to a select few.
The Four Gospels are more than just the life-story of Jesus. They're a body of Hermetic, Gnostic and magical instructions for those 'in the know'. The Catholic Church, naturally, refuses to entertain any of this. But then, it has - itself - been mired in ignorance all these years.

SUMMARY
=======
Munich (; German: München [ˈmʏnçn̩] (listen); Austro-Bavarian: Minga [ˈmɪŋ(ː)ɐ]) is the capital and most populous city of the second most populous German federal state of Bavaria, and, with a population of around 1.5 million, it is the third-largest city of Germany after Berlin and Hamburg, as well as the 12th-largest city in the European Union. The city's metropolitan region is home to 6 million people. Straddling the banks of the River Isar (a tributary of the Danube) north of the Bavarian Alps, it is the seat of the Bavarian administrative region of Upper Bavaria, while being the most densely populated municipality in Germany (4,500 people per km²). Munich is the second-largest city in the Bavarian dialect area, after the Austrian capital of Vienna.
The city is a major centre of art, technology, finance, publishing, culture, innovation, education, business, and tourism in Germany and Europe and enjoys a very high standard and quality of living, reaching first in Germany and third worldwide according to the 2018 Mercer survey, and being rated the world's most liveable city by the Monocle's Quality of Life Survey 2018. According to the Globalization and World Rankings Research Institute Munich is considered an alpha-world city, as of 2015.The name of the city is derived from the Old/Middle High German term Munichen, meaning by the monks. It derives from the monks of the Benedictine order, who ran a monastery at the place that was later to become the Old Town of Munich; hence the monk depicted on the city's coat of arms. Munich was first mentioned in 1158. Catholic Munich strongly resisted the Reformation and was a political point of divergence during the resulting Thirty Years' War, but remained physically untouched despite an occupation by the Protestant Swedes. Once Bavaria was established as a sovereign kingdom in 1806, it became a major European centre of arts, architecture, culture and science. In 1918, during the German Revolution, the ruling house of Wittelsbach, which had governed Bavaria since 1180, was forced to abdicate in Munich and a short- ...

In 1918, during the German Revolution, the ruling house of Wittelsbach, which had governed Bavaria since 1180, was forced to abdicate in Munich and a short-lived socialist republic was declared.
In the 1920s, Munich became home to several political factions, among them the NSDAP. The first attempt of the Nazi movement to take over the German government in 1923 with the Beer Hall Putsch was stopped by the Bavarian police in Munich with gunfire. After the Nazis' rise to power, Munich was declared their Capital of the Movement. During World War II, Munich was heavily bombed and more than 50% of the entire city and up to 90% of the historic centre were destroyed. After the end of postwar American occupation in 1949, there was a great increase in population and economic power during the years of Wirtschaftswunder, or economic miracle. Unlike many other German cities which were heavily bombed, Munich restored most of its traditional cityscape and hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics. The 1980s brought strong economic growth, high-tech industries and scientific institutions, and population growth. The city is home to major corporations like BMW, Siemens, MAN, Linde, Allianz and MunichRE.
Munich is home to many universities, museums and theatres. Its numerous architectural attractions, sports events, exhibitions and its annual Oktoberfest attract considerable tourism. Munich is one of the most prosperous and fastest growing cities in Germany. It is a top-ranked destination for migration and expatriate location. Munich hosts more than 530,000 people of foreign background, making up 37.7% of its population.

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
=======
Paestum ( PEST-əm, also PEE-stəm, Latin: [ˈpae̯stũː]) was a major ancient Greek city on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea in Magna Graecia (southern Italy). The ruins of Paestum are famous for their three ancient Greek temples in the Doric order, dating from about 600 to 450 BC, which are in a very good state of preservation. The city walls and amphitheatre are largely intact, and the bottom of the walls of many other structures remain, as well as paved roads. The site is open to the public, and there is a modern national museum within it, which also contains the finds from the associated Greek site of Foce del Sele.
After its foundation by Greek colonists under the name of Poseidonia (Ancient Greek: Ποσειδωνία) it was eventually conquered by the local Lucanians and later the Romans. The Lucanians renamed it to Paistos and the Romans gave the city its current name. As Pesto or Paestum, the town became a bishopric (now only titular), but it was abandoned in the Early Middle Ages, and left undisturbed and largely forgotten until the eighteenth century.
Today the remains of the city are found in the modern frazione of Paestum, which is part of the comune of Capaccio in the Province of Salerno, Campania, Italy. The modern settlement, directly to the south of the archaeological site, is a popular seaside resort, with long sandy beaches.
