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 😍
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
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
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.

+Adam Jewell Me too, 1986.
Seen in East German 35 years ago....
Hard to believe they moved an entire temple to Berlin...
I'd love to see it myself someday.
Nothing has better than Hellenistic sculpture

Very interesting reference is written in the Bible about this altar and the city itself. This art has a bigger meaning.
Idolatry worship not only to fake false Gods but to the emperor, lots of evil stuff during that time in that city
Were the vertical divides in the frieze there from the beginning or are they from the Prussians cutting and moving it?
A lot more than just art history but I appreciate the depth of analysis all the same
Love your series still

Shut up! You turks have no interest in that thing. You online want this unislamic art to gain attention!
God,i didnt inow this existed.Looks amazing.Will have to visit.
So beautiful.thx
do you have a video on "the fallen warrior?" this statue is also used for the cover of richmond lattimore's book the iliad of homer
Yes we do: smarthistory.org/east-and-west-pediments-from-the-temple-of-aphaia-aegina/
this set is the very PINNACLE of Greek artistic creation, in this case, in Asia and "Hellenistic"
Loved this video! It was very straight to the point. I only wished the commentary was a little bit slower, but nonetheless great vid.
Just fyi, you can slow the speed down using the gear icon.
Is this a replica? Or or the real frieze?
it is the real frieze.
Turks sold an ancient Greek masterpiece to the Germans.

They're preserved -- not looted. Preserved away from earthquake, vandals, pollution, looters.
zdá že sú živé
WOW
Please raise awareness to return this magnificient art where it belongs! Back to Bergama, Turkey!
Sorry they belong to greece
The Turks sold the ruins to the Germans and the Germans reconstructed it. You have no right to say where it belongs
Uncouth Turk, your people were probably throwing shit at each other and still living in caves when this was created.

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.
