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.

What is a quite interesting channel. I've found it recently and it is sad that there is no continuation. I hope that everything is good with the Brian and he is busy with the tours around the Prague ❤
Yuliya, thank you for your kind comments - yes, I paused making videos as I started to work as a tour guide again - but, I intend to restart making videos again later in the year. Please subscribe so you know when I have started again - and all good wishes for 2025 - and, indeed, to all my subscribers - thank you.
Thanks. Religion and politics have always been a "problem " for those who can not understand one another.
Einstein was the worst student in school. Because he couldn't make it he took Hungarian student girl help. She's the one of all discovery Einstein taken credit. All was written by her hand. After Einstein died all documents were collected and shipped with container to Jericho Israel so noone can see what happen. He did divorce he's sick Hungarian wife and marriage her relative. After he moved to USA she was helping him because he couldn't make it.
Yes. Because Britain and Germany agreement signature Germany could take back German teretory Sudet land and part from Poland. Than Zionist Jewish leaders convinced England and France to go and declare war to Germany for exchange created Israel. So Britain and France declared war to Germany. That's how started World War 2. All because of Zionists just like today we will have World War 3. US and England are run by Zionist Lobies. All creating only destruction. Wake up people !
Why Ancient Aliens from history channel never made a documenter about this? For them this is alien tech sh**!
Finally, a well put together video about this topic! I heard that had he invented his contact lens in a capitalist country, he'd become one of the top10 richest ppl in the world. So, today, i asked ChatGPT about it. Otto Wichterle, the inventor of soft contact lenses, developed this groundbreaking product under challenging circumstances in Socialist Czechoslovakia. His invention became revolutionary in vision correction, but due to the economic and political climate, he did not directly benefit financially. Instead, his patents were sold to companies like Bausch & Lomb, which brought the lenses to the mass market in the USA starting in 1965. Within a decade of commercialization, the soft contact lens market had grown substantially. By 1975, the industry was generating hundreds of millions of dollars annually in the United States alone, driven by the popularity of the lenses due to their comfort and ease of use compared to rigid lenses. The growth continued over the following decades, with the global market reaching billions in revenue as technology advanced and manufacturing scaled up【5】【6】【7】. Had Wichterle been able to patent and retain royalties in a capitalist environment like the USA, it is plausible he could have amassed substantial wealth, potentially ranking among the wealthiest individuals of the time. For comparison, inventors and entrepreneurs in analogous fields who capitalized on global healthcare innovations, such as medical devices or pharmaceuticals, often became multimillionaires or billionaires. However, reaching the "top 10 richest" status globally would depend on factors like equity stakes, licensing terms, and the speed of market expansion【5】【6】. Given the trajectory of the contact lens industry, the assertion that Wichterle could have joined the wealthiest ranks is plausible but would depend on specific business and legal arrangements that did not exist in his context. His invention undeniably revolutionized the field of ophthalmology, leaving a legacy far beyond his financial situation.
Thanks for the tour today, Brian! It was excellent and I’m loving the videos which are a re-cap of the tour today! Excellent 😊
Thank you, Tom - for coming on my tour and appreciating my videos :)
1:00 lovely sound😍
One huuuge "mistake" 😂 sure 13:42
The song “good” king Wenceslaus by implication suggests the existence of a “bad” king Wenceslaus. Like the parable of the “good” Samaritan.
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.
Lots of stupid people in this comment section.
As the Masked Guide says the clock is a stereographic projection of a spherical earth. Even though this was built before Galileo the builders probably knew that the Earth is spherical - they just had enough justifiable fear of the church to not mention that.
I agree - thank you for your comment.

Masons love to change history once they conquer a nation. Also they obviously changed the race of the people in the restoration. Pretty nasty. But just like Napaleon said, who was a mason. History is written by the victors.
Zionist agenda. Czech Republic were infiltrated by Zionist
Very Zio thing to do when they made the restoration. Adding a Heliocentric Globe to replace the azimuthul equidistant flat earth map.
Love the Teletubby!
Ah the usual suspects. Listen to this Ukrainian people. You are now the new czechrepulik
I dont get it how to find a section from the picture, can someone pls explain? So the sun has to be shows the hour, the moon has to shows the date, and the stars tell the month
exactly, this clocks become weird and so complicated if you use a globe. Now you know the truth, right? they re not just changing the moon picture in the middle into a globe picture in the middle of the clocks for no reason. Thanks, may god save us
The Sun does go around the Earth. You really think those men were intelligent enough to create such a device like this and the Antikythera Mechanism without knowing the truth about the sun?

Works perfectly on a non-rotating, level PLANE (PLANE+/PLANEtte). Why does the UN have a "FLAT EARTH" on their logo?
if you search for pictures of clock before 2018 when it was "maintained" you will find that it had geocentric earth desingn in center...not ridiculous globe that makes no sense nor funcionality ....
So in other words Germany just wanted the previous lands from before WW1 back. How convenient we're never told this.
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.
One on right is too dark, original left is much better
Viac krát som navštívila Prahu, skutočne úžasné 👍👍👍💯
I think people find it uninteresting because we have been taught that the earth is a globe. For the few who have come to uncover the lies and how the mazzaroth/ zodiac rotates above us, the clock is fascinating as it reveals the truth that has been and continues to be hidden from us.
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.
Thank you for your comment - yes, the purists were enraged, but as I pointed out , the look of the clock has changed a lot over the centuries anyway...
Wonderful Clock and presentation and video, like the introduction you made about this, thank you so much! I had some homework with pleasure at the end. Let's see... July 7th, at 2:15>3:15 pm, day left=6 hours >>> sunset at 9:15 pm
Thank you for your kind words - much appreciated. Thank you, too for doing your homework. If you would kindly email me with your thoughts about the Clockface Challenge at...themaskedguide@gmail.com - I will let you know know how well you did:). Many thanks.
Yeah this is all cap. And it wasn't Jan Růže, who made it.
very somplicate to me, but i recognise you found the way to read it.... wow, that´s amazing!. i like the video, you did a great job man, my blessings and a huge, gus.
The head restorer of the clock is my cousin. He is a very gifted artist and was one of the tiny percent invited to special Art school when he was in public school, during the days of communism.
At minute 5, Ophiuchus is omitted, left out, over looked, ect... Ophiuchus is the 12th constellation..? The earth is fixed on its foundation so how could it turn? 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? That we've lied to our entire life in this short season spoken of in Revelation chapter 20. Capricorn: January 20 - February 16 Aquarius: February 17 - March 11 Pisces: March 12 - April 18 Aries: April 19 - May 13 Taurus: May 14 - June 21 Gemini: June 22 - July 20 Cancer: July 21 - August 10 Leo: August 11- September 16 Virgo: September 17 - October 31 Libra: November 1 - November 23 Scorpio: November 24 - November 29 Ophiuchus: November 30 - December 18 Sagittarius: December 19 - January 19

Can you tell me if they ever perform Mozart’s requiem at this theater?
Hello, and thank you for your question. I can't recall in the time I have been in Prague there ever being a performance of the Requiem at the Estates' Theatre. It tends to be performed in larger venues like the Obecni Dům www.obecnidum.cz/en/programme/2023-11-03/w-a-mozart-requiem-in-smetana-hall/ and in churches. In fact, in the Church of St James, it is performed annually on November 2nd.
Can someone who is a flat earther explain this. Someone who realizes the flat plane we live on is exactly like the face of a clock.
TERRIBLE!
TERRIBLE! The video, or what the restorer did ? :)

The Czech resistance should have broad casted to the Russians and said there are s.s. divisions here murdering Czechs, Russian traitors in German uniform attacking us the Russians would have rushed in to kill off all Germans.

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.
Chamberlain and Daladier wiped Czechoslovakia off the map
Sort of...but Hitler finished their work...
This gentleman is speaking mostly nonsense, Czechoslovakia was liquidated, and wipe off the map was by Chamberlain and Daladier . Munich treason was the real reason. Other reasons were the result of this treason. Munich agreement /TREASON/ prevented Czechoslovakia very effectively to defend itself agains nazi Germany.
Great video Brian lovely explanation of the clock, I love your comment about the huge mistake🤔 off-the-clock the clock was perfectly made by tartaria oh and by the way the Earth is flat and stationary
Lloyd, thank you for your comments; glad you enjoyed the video. It seems, judging by the comments on this video from others, you are not alone in your thinking.
