  • Hallstatt is a small village in the heart of the Austrian Alps, It is located on the shores of the Lake Hallstatter See, at the foot of the Alps. Since time immemorial its existence was linked to the exploitation of the rock salt mines in these mountains that had continued over the centuries. However has been its archaeological importance to European prehistory which has brought worldwide fame and notoriety to Hallstatt, and had made it deserving of its declaration as World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997.
    Year of Production: 2013.

    So, it's a pro-Austrian/Viennese documentary produced by Valencians for the Spanish and English speaking markets...very impressive and proto-European...good introduction on this very early culture

    This almost turns into something of a documentary on Vienna toward the end. Very odd.

    Hallstadt does not mean the "place of salt" in German. Hall is old Celtic for Salt, not German. Stadt means city in German. So it means city of salt, but only half the word is German. The documentary even said Hall was a Celtic word less than a minute before they contradicted themselves and said it meant salt in German.

      Statt < german Stätte : the place,Fr l' endroit, it il posto.
      The 5000 years old Hallstatt civilisation precedes the intrusion of indoeuropean hordes by millenia, and did not expect the arrival of Kelts to name their salt place.
      Please stop placing bloody Celts overall.
      ( bloody because they lived of razzias, plundering, massacres and destructions like autentic parasites of established civilisations. The Hallstatt culture has really nothing in common with analphabet totally uncultured Celtic killers that plundered and destroyed the occidental Sanctuary of Delos !

      Hal is clearly a pre- celtic designation of salt also found in greek.Do You seriously believe that the prestigious Hallstatt culture has waited the emergence of celtic abalphabets to name their 5000 years old place of salt ?

    The translation of the English guy by the youtube autotranslate is horrible and slightly hillarious.Also I wanted to see this video for it's probable conections of the Hallstatt culture, not 5 minutes of pictures of Vienna ...

      I'll have to disagree: the autotranslate of the Austrian professor is not slightly hilarious, it is extremely hilarious; totally senseless gibberish. And yes, that Vienna tourism promotion was totally off.

    In places there was no English translation. It seems that Hallstatt is in danger from forces of nature - as I'm not good at languages I may have got that wrong. Does anyone know what was being said in German?

      @DesireeLourensArtist 3 роки тому +1

      The subtitles I think were Spanish, I speak Italian, not Spanish, but what I understood is that it is a natural disaster/climate change related.

      I know I'm very late but maybe someone still wants to know.
      It's not so much about a natural catastophe but rather the fact that the mountain is constantly moving (which is by the way because of the movement of the continental plates etc.). Because of that movement, the so called "Bergdruck" which means literally "mountain pressure" the remains of prehistoric mining move with the mountain and will be destroyed in the long term and the longer you wait the harder it will get to actually know how it really was done back then because the traces will kinda fade away. I hope this makes sense in english...

      Thanks, Bloody Vampire. That's good to know. The earth is far less stable than we think of it as being, or at least than I think of it as being. It's good that so much of value has survived from around Hallstadt.

    • @JojoooJK
      @JojoooJK 3 роки тому +2

      @@judithm375 It is quite fascinating to me personally because I know this mine very well. The moutain there moves up to 1cm per year at some points which is quite a lot if you think about it. So to keep the mines open, the walls need to be scratched off every few years because of that. That's also challenging for the archaeologists of course.

    Salt is not a liquid state in water, it is aqueous. That’s very different.
