      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.

    Very interesting reference is written in the Bible about this altar and the city itself. This art has a bigger meaning.

    Were the vertical divides in the frieze there from the beginning or are they from the Prussians cutting and moving it?

    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).

      The Turks sold the ruins to the Germans and the Germans reconstructed it. You have no right to say where it belongs

    • @egelisk4943
      @egelisk4943 3 роки тому

      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.

    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.
