Me too! On my cruise through the Baltic 11 June - 23 June '95 we stopped in Warnemünde with a train trip to Berlin 13 June. I've wanted to return ever since.
Was litterly dying because of my subject of art history. This helped me alotttt. Omg I'm loving it. It's easy to learn now. Hehehe yayy that's impressive 😍
It's sad to compare the ugly buildings we are building in London to these beautiful ancient cities, we need to build for beauty again, not just for profit
A Turkish crime fiction writer named Ahmet Ümit wrote a book including this magnificent altar. A detective novel intertwined with mythology. Be sure to read it when translated into English. I hope it will return to its real home one day, because the altar of zeus is a wonderful thing to discover in its historical place. The name in Turkish is the land of the lost gods (of the book).
Me encantaría saber porqué los subtitulos en castellano se cortan en lo más interesante.... Una lástima no poder entender todo su análisis. Es muy interesante. Gracias
honestly surprised the building was in as good of shape as it was considering it was hardcore paganism in an otherwise fairly monotheistic area for over two thousand years
The Turks have not sold this. It was a sultan who sold this. It was not a collective decision of the Anatolian people back then. The Anatolian peninsula had a very large and substantial Christian and Jewish minority when this frieze was sold. It's not like there were only Turks. Just as it is now. Turkey is a mishmash of cultures and people.
@@egelisk4943 Stop distorting History Mongol, of course Pergamos was a Greek City and the Greek they spoke was the language we speak, and we would understand it fairly easily. CRY MORE...you are so desperate & Pathetic! Enjoy your Onion Hat turban head statues with Pajamas. FEEL THE DIFFERENCE!! Bwhaaha 🤡🤣
The Titan Oceanus is Alexander the great, the face, hair, twisted neck and heavenward gaze is typical of his image . The huge snakes bite and coiling position echoes Alexanders greatest injuries in battle and ironically Alexanders mother Olympias worshipped snakes!: "Alexander was wounded in the shoulder by a missile which pierced his corselet. " Arrian Arrian reports that Alexander was injured by a ‘sword thrust’ to the thigh during the Battle of Issus. i'll just list the wounds in order: Cleaver slash to the head Sword blow in the thigh Catapult missile to the chest/shoulder Arrow through the leg Stone strike to the head and neck Dart through the shoulder Arrow in the ankle Arrow through the lung:Suddenly, Alexander was hit by an arrow; it penetrated ‘his corselet and entered his body above the breast’. This was his last and nearly mortal wound and i feel this is the snake bite. The bearded Titan being attacked in the eye by Zeus' eagle represents Philip II of Macedon (Alexander the greats father) Philip II sustained his most severe wound when he lost his right eye during the siege of Methone.
