Why the Parthenon’s Missing Statues Belong In Greece
The Parthenon Marbles are some of humanity’s finest achievements, spectacularly sculpted by master artisans over 2,500 years ago. But despite adorning the iconic Parthenon for over 2,000 years, they were forcefully removed and are now on display in London, along with about half of the remaining sculptures from the building.
Today, these masterpieces of classical sculpture are the center of a major dispute between Greece and the UK. So how did so much of the Parthenon Marbles end in the UK, and what can Greece do about it?

Benin Bronzes Exposed: The Shocking Story Museums Hid From You

The Benin Bronzes are some of the finest examples of brass sculpture from the Kingdom of Benin, made between the 15th and 19th centuries. But far from being displayed in their intended location - the royal palace of Benin - they're scattered across the globe in museums - in cities like London, Berlin, and New York. The truth is these sculptures, known as the Benin Bronzes, were looted by Britis...
Beyond the Pyramids: Tracing the Global Influence of Egyptian Revival

In the early 1800s, Napoleon's Egypt expedition reintroduced Europeans to Anicent Egypt's buildings - sparking an Egyptian revival movement in art and architecture. When King Tut's tomb was found in 1922, a new era of Egyptomania started that led to the birth of Art Deco. But the fascination with the Egyptian aesthetic goes back much further than you'd expect. We'll take a look at all of this i...

I love this style. I am a black girl and I wanted to respectfully wear this pattern in September, but I wanted to make sure I understood some of its history. It also reminds me of antebellum South. From a child I highly regarded chinoiserie.

The Latin Quarter name origin is rather from the language: this is where all the universities were located(Sorbonne for example), and the students were speaking Latin in the streets, hence the name. Students were coming from all over France and Europe, so Latin was the Lingua Franca. Look at the French Wikipedia page for the details of the name origin.
I am glad that the rabbit-like UMA picture and the chicken-like UMA picture of the third shogun, Iemitsu were not leaked.😓
A lot is left....! All the resturants, hotels and bars.... still there.
Thank you for an interesting video, I am an interior designer and had forgotten the origins. Your video is clear and concise. Thank you 🎉
Thank you for the helpfull video. You explained everything very clearly <3
She is from a different time. She didn’t have an open mind to the difference in others
Now do a short commentary about Ranald MacDonald, a AmerIndian whaler who decided to visit Japan when that was illegal, and ended up helping the Japanese interpreters, who mainly knew Dutch, to become fluent in English.
You can not judge people from in the past to the same standards we hold today. We are products of our environments and culture. People 200 years from now will not see everything the same as we do today. Just because we live in the current year doesn’t mean we have everything figured out. I’d rather hear her true feelings (and see them through the context that they were formed ) than not hear her observations or her not telling what she really felt just to shield readers worried about people’s feelings… a hundred years in the future.
She described what she saw. Brutally honest, it has to be said but, not judgmentally. This was the same woman actively helping the people suffering dire poverty in Edinburgh, Scotland. She ignored warnings about her personal safety in order to do that work. This, at a time when England was fast becoming very rich. If you have no social security net, no effective healthcare or health education, life rapidly becomes ugly and brutal. Without the likes of this woman, it would be forever ignored.
So well articulated and presented. Thank you for this delightful insight ❤
Very nice video
Thank you Dutch, greatest people and nation of Europe.
Im really interested in the egyptian revival influence on hardware, most notably door hardware. There's a ton of antique designs on door plates, locks, hinges, and door knobs. I'm trying to find an overall Victorian/egyptian revival application but none so far.
this is an excellent presentation..good tone and concise....learned a lot.thanks...
Omg the original weebs😂
2:04 this is starting to sound like Ancient Egypt. Their poreclain/riches put them in danger in the eyes of outsiders
I am a big admirer of both Impressionist art and Ukiyo-E, and having Japanese background I was always quite interested in this cross-cultural encounter. The Japanese woodprints are of breathtaking beauty, for the tecnique as well as depicting the lifestyle of the period. No wonder the Impressionists were seduced by its beauty. Thank you for the presentation!
It's all Eye Candy!! I LOVE it!!!!
Splendid! Beyond reproach! Aside from your faultless choice of visuals and textural narration, your absolutely perfect pronunciation of both Japanese and French names and terminology is “wonderfully intimidating!” - Namaste! Glenn Jones
Seems to me that the Englishmen unknowingly preserved the sculptures, keeping it safe with utmost regard. Whereas, they would have been reduced to rubble by the Arabs. The other side spouts nonsense, the conquers take treasures, that's the way it is. The Greeks or whatever, can have them back when they conquer England.
Fun fact. In todays nomenclature, this would be 'fan art.'
Thank you for this video, I’ve learned Spanish just to read these accounts like that of “Geronimo de Aguilar” or “cabeza de la vaca” so much was written in Spanish at a very obscure time in history where much wasn’t being written at all about the natives themselves, and so accounts like the ones shared by Chimalpahin are very insightful
Absolutely!
Chimalpahin will forever be appreciated
Yes!
Good job on the graphics, information and presentation. Consider better music that is softer and melts into the background.. Also, consider using a thumbprint view of yourself since we really want to see the cool images. I'm subscribing.
Thanks for your feedback!
As a 32 year old Mexican/guatemalan American. Chimalpahin historiography is mind blowing. It changed my world.
I'm glad the story resonated with you. Thanks for watching!
Chicago has a TON of buildings with Egyptian facades and motifs, but it makes sense since a lot of the post-fire reconstruction happened throughout the 20s and 30s.
That's really interesting! Do you have any favorites?
I spent 3 years on the research of this topic.
Wow! What was the most interesting thing you learned about it? Did I miss anything important in the video?

There are Greek sculptures all over the world They aren't going back Get over it
The Parthenon Marbles are the masterpiece of Greek sculpture and 50% of them are in one particular museum. I'd argue it's a special case.
If everything gets to be returned to Egypt why doesn't Greece get to have everything returned why separate stuff for Muslims and separate stuff for Christians awesome Muslims do not belong in the west create your own democracies and ruin your own world we don't want nothing to do with you anymore and your false religion and your false prophet oh and Palestinians are made up people that don't exist they're just Arabs there was never a Palestine in antiquity
Good video. My opinion is typical, that any ancient artifacts in museums should be in the country of origin, as close to the site as possible, considering preservation, ease in viewing, etc. And the English argument that it's a way to view all the human history of art in "one place" is convenience weaksauce, there is an argument of irony that I'm surprised they don't use, of "why England, and not somewhere else?", particularly in the light of England's colonialism. All these continental empires of antituity may seem utterly so removed from England, but it was one of them, the Roman Empire, that invaded England and eradicated their antique culture, religion, history and art. England was left bereft of any of their own to display because of just such an empire. So, in a sort of courtesy of long overdue good faith, some of that antique shit should be spread around more, so to speak. At this point, it almost seems like there's enough offense to go around in how nations of old have mistreated each other's antiques. But, at the end of the day, they need to turn that back over to Greece, and like the guy in the old clip said in sarcasm, yes, all of it needs to go back to their respective nations. Like GK Chesterson's quote says, "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it." The English are just arrogant about thinking they're entitled to all that stuff because they're the only ones that can look after it properly. I can only imagine my neighbor trying to use that on me to not return that drill I let him borrow. Anyway, good video.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
The same reason all the mummies and gold belong in Egypt. Thieving bastards from France and England stole property that wasn't theirs and hoarded it in whatever name suited their fancy.
Thanks for sharing your viewpoint!
The funny thing is that in Asia there was a "Europerie" trend too, where in Japan, China and other countries they built with European styles.
Wow, I'd love to see that!

❤ Great work, but since you seem to understand the importance of correctly pronouncing words and names, please note that Johan Nieuhof was Dutch and therefore the "nieu" does NOT rhyme with the French "vieu" but sounds like the "ee" in "bee" or "see" followed by a "w." Think "freeway" and say "Neewhof" ❤
I can remember reading a book about the creation of 'French food' , restruants and hotels as a response to needing to provide attractive services to the many English traveling around a very impoverished France after the Napolionic wars. This was very interesting.
Thanks very helpful. Have never heard of these books. This was most enjoyable.
Thanks for watching!
So eugenics later informed the murderous racial politics of Nazi Germany? Anywhere else? Anywhere closer to home? Like … Japan?
Ironically for this video, yes.
Many interesting details in this video, among them that of the distinction between japoniserie and japonisme -and the presenter's first effort at pronunciation of Van Gogh is quite good.
Too bad, for all the wests fascination with Asian culture, Asian people are still treated as inferior subhuman second class citizens in the west❤
Delicious...
I can see their influence in Art Nouveau too
The book is titled "Unbeaten Tracks in Japan". Not sure where you got your "Northern". It's been pointed out that in fact she originally planned to get a boat from Niigata to Hokkaido.
Thanks for the clarification!
I think it’s a classic look too!
めぐみさんをとりあげてくださり、ありがとうございます。日本政府は17人の被害者しか認めていませんが、警察は認定拉致被害者以外に900人以上の日本人が拉致濃厚であると発表しています。特定問題失踪者問題調査会の代表 荒木和博博士は北朝鮮は現在進行形で日本人を拉致し続けていると警鐘を鳴らしています。 残念ながら我が日本は、1945年の敗戦から80年近くの間アメリカの支配体制から抜け出ることが出来ず、今も尚、アメリカ軍が駐留しています。決定的なのは、国連の敵国条項は今も外れていないということです。 未だに自衛隊は軍であると憲法にすら明記されていません。ロックフェラーが養って来たフランクフルト学派や社会主義社が愚かにも反戦を庶民に強いています。 日本は国連(世界のエリート)の敵ですから、世界のエリート層に支配されたマスコミは北朝鮮・韓国・ロシア・中国による日本への軍事侵攻・侵略・犯罪を非難することがありません。我々日本国民は長い間、売国政府とマスコミに洗脳されて来ましたが、めぐみさん拉致事件を切っ掛けに覚醒しました。我々は被害者救出と誠の独立を決してあきらめません。 拉致被害者を救出するためにも、核を持つ大国に三方を囲まれる地政学上、核軍備を目指す真の日本人が増えて来ています。 ※イザベラバードを検索している中であなたを知りました。覚醒した日本人たちによってイザベラバードがブームになって10年近く経ちます。というのも、売国政府の戦後教育によってあろうことか「日本は文明的に中国や韓国の弟国」であると洗脳されてきました。しかし、イザベラバードの紀行文によってそれが真っ赤な嘘だったことが物の見事に証明されています。彼女は百年前に近代文明を謳歌していた西洋の識字率がたった50%だった当時、世界で唯一80%を超えた奇跡の江戸を目撃した数少ない西洋人でした。我が国は世界に比すべき例の無い断トツ一位の文明国であり、260年以上平和を維持していたまさに桃源郷でした。 彼女のスポンサーは紛れもなく国際金融資本だったでしょう。どの程度の邪心をもって彼女が我々日本人と相対していたか知るよしもありませんが、彼女のリポートが大いに関与して「彼ら」の対日本戦略は決まってしまった。対ロシア戦略で手札にされるまでは名誉白人として遇されるも、1918年、国際連盟に人種的差別撤廃提案を人類史上初めて提案するに至り、有色人種の生き血を吸って肥え太っていた「彼ら」のご機嫌を決定的に損なってしまった。そうして我々日本人が有色人種の解放、真の人類平等を目指して、ここでもまた人類史上初めて「彼ら」に反旗を翻し、命を賭して戦い、無差別爆弾によって人類史上類をみない大量虐殺(100万人以上の庶民)にされるに至った。 貴方が知らないことを書き記します。 ①チャーチルがルーズベルトに充てた手紙に「核兵器を(日本ではなく)日本人にこそ落とそう」と記してあります。この差別主義者の手紙は広島の平和記念公園に展示され、世界中から訪れる人々によって読まれています。 ②敗戦後も昭和天皇の密命を受けた日本兵士がアジアに残り独立戦争を率いてアジア・アフリカの解放に繋がりました。インドネシア、マレーシア、ベトナム出身の知人がいたら質問してみてください。彼らは「私達の独立は日本のおかげだ」と口を揃えて答えるでしょう。 話しを元に戻します。紛れもなく不当な差別裁判の後、皇太子の誕生日に将軍達は処刑され(当時の西洋のエリートのいやらしさはここに極まった)日本男児はすっかり精神的に去勢されてしまった。公職追放により、売国奴や日本人に成りすました中国や朝鮮人が政府をのっとり、マスコミをのっとり、大学をのっとった。世界一の働き蜂である庶民は物の見事に洗脳され、まんまと「彼ら」のATM(奴隷)となって久しい。そうして平和ボケになるも、甘やかされた北の金王家によって同胞を数百人拉致されるに至り、ネオコンに騙されたウクライナの惨状を目の当たりにし、生き残りをかけて藁をもつかむ思いで『日本紀行』を今我々日本庶民が百年の時代を経て手にしている。このことを彼女は想像していたでしょうか。 ♯反拝金主義 ♯反差別主義 ♯世界平和 かしこ
