PRAGUE ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK: WHAT IS THE BIG CONTROVERSY?
This video takes a look at the recent row that has erupted over the Prague astronomical clock. Purists and historians are up in arms about the changes to the calendar dial that were done by the Czech painter and restorer Stanislav Jirčík in 2018. Jirčík was commissioned to do a copy of the original Calendar dial or board, by the Czech painter Josef Mánes originally completed in 1866; however, after four years, it has to come to light that Jircik’s new version often bears no relationship to the Mane’s original - and people are outraged. This video addresses the changes and also looks at some of the other major changes to the clock that have happened over the last 600 years- since, it is not the first time, that significant changes have been made to the clock.

      He is called a Good King because of his deeds - that made him a good KIng - and, he was, afterall, a christian that brought christianity to the Czech lands. The piousness of Wenceslas is captured in the last stanza of the song: Therefore, Christian men, be sure Wealth or rank possessing Ye, who now will bless the poor Shall yourselves find blessing.

    Bohemian time and commencement of a day at sunset was not 'adopted' from Italy. The sole source for a day starting at sunset is the Judaistic version of creation where it was declared a day started at sunset. Judaism continues to practice the tradition, particularly in regard to the sabbath, and preceded Italy by millennia. So almost but not quite.

    Anyone who believes this clock was made in the 1500s hasn't done any research of the past..I'm now certain a previous civilization built this clock and our present world simply inherited it from the ppl that did build it.. Also this clock only works when applied to a stationary, non-rotating, flat plane as mentioned in earlier comments.. Research Jon Levi on YT for lots of supporting evidence & proofs.. Research mud flood also and orphan trains in Europe and the US.. the history we've been thought isn't even close to reality but watch and you be the judge..

    The subtlety of the original was lost, the subtlety in both color shifts and anatomy. The only thing I do like is the addition of the dog. That said, he was chosen for the work and paid for the work. All things change. For example, I prefer a zodiac dial with the animals instead of the symbols. Things simply change and modernize. It is a marvel indeed that the clock is still operational and still so wondrous to behold.

The sun, moon and stars move, not the earth, so if you use this method with the clock you can figure out what is really says. Just do it and find out. Find out what?

    The Soviets only declared war on Japan after the bombing of Hiroshima on August 8th, 1945. A cynical, Machiavellian move by Stalin to grab as much land in Manchuria and Asia from the Japanese as they could. He'd assembled a million-man army for the big land grab over the now defeated Japanese , while the USSR had made no contribution to ending the War. So...when you say the US "didn't need the Soviets", that's like Monday morning quarterbacking, especially with all the blood which had been spilled by Americans over the grueling Pacific campaign. The USSR didn't offer to help, did they? Stalin let the US (and Australia, NZ, Indian, Chinese, Filipino, and other allied forces) do all the hard work with not even a token contribution. Considering that the Nazis had surrendered earlier, the USSR clearly had the capacity to offer a real, if belated, contribution.
