See Jerusalem as it appeared 2,000 years ago. Experts use clues from the Bible and other ancient documents to recreate the ancient city. Extraordinary computer graphics bring the Biblical Jerusalem to life. Every year, tens of thousands of pilgrims travel to Jerusalem to trace Jesus' footsteps. But since his death, the city has been destroyed and rebuilt more than 20 times. So what did it look like when Jesus was alive? LOST WORLDS draws on the expertise of a cadre of archeologists, historians and computer graphics professionals to find out. They rebuild Herod's Temple Mount--in its time the world's largest man-made structure. They explain the manipulation of light and stone that let the Holy Sanctuary "sparkle like a snow-capped mountain in the sun." They explore the network of aqueducts, pipes, tunnels, and pools that kept this desert city from thirst and enabled it to handle an influx of pilgrims that routinely swelled its population from 30,000 to 300,000. They seek the places where Jesus performed miracles. And they map his final hours: including the real route of the "Via Dolorosa." JESUS' JERUSALEM reveals a world hidden for more than 20 centuries.]]> Sat, 02 Mar 2013 22:42:17 GMT http://www.gekos.no/workshop/video/viewvideo/221/historie-og-arkeologi/the-city-of-david-jesus-jerusalem--history-documentary.html <![CDATA[Lost World: Braveheart's Scotland | History Documentary]]>  Braveheart's Scotland Sir William Wallace (Scottish Gaelic: Uilleam Uallas; 1272 -- 23 August 1305) was a Scottish knight and landowner who is known for leading a resistance during the Wars of Scottish Independence and is today remembered in Scotland as a patriot and national hero. Along with Andrew Moray, he defeated an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, and became Guardian of Scotland, serving until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk. A few years later Wallace was captured in Robroyston near Glasgow and handed over to King Edward I of England, who had him executed for treason. Wallace was the inspiration for the poem, The Acts and Deeds of Sir William Wallace, Knight of Elderslie, by the 15th-century minstrel, Blind Harry and this poem was to some extent the basis of Randall Wallace's screenplay for the 1995 film Braveheart.]]> Sat, 02 Mar 2013 22:41:15 GMT http://www.gekos.no/workshop/video/viewvideo/220/historie-og-arkeologi/lost-world-bravehearts-scotland--history-documentary.html <![CDATA[Greek Mythology: God and Goddesses | History Documentary]]>  Greek Mythology is the body of myths and teachings that belong to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. It was a part of the religion in ancient Greece and is part of religion in modern Greece and around the world, known as Hellenismos. Modern scholars refer to and study the myths in an attempt to throw light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece and its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.[1] Greek mythology is explicitly embodied in a large collection of narratives, and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as vase-paintings and votive gifts. Greek myth attempts to explain the origins of the world, and details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, and mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; today the Greek myths are known primarily from Greek literature. The oldest known Greek literary sources, Homer's epic poems Iliad and Odyssey, focus on events surrounding the Trojan War. Two poems by Homer's near contemporary Hesiod, the Theogony and the Works and Days, contain accounts of the genesis of the world, the succession of divine rulers, the succession of human ages, the origin of human woes, and the origin of sacrificial practices. Myths are also preserved in the Homeric Hymns, in fragments of epic poems of the Epic Cycle, in lyric poems, in the works of the tragedians of the fifth century BC, in writings of scholars and poets of the Hellenistic Age, and in texts from the time of the Roman Empire by writers such as Plutarch and Pausanias. Archaeological findings provide a principal source of detail about Greek mythology, with gods and heroes featured prominently in the decoration of many artifacts. Geometric designs on pottery of the eighth century BC depict scenes from the Trojan cycle as well as the adventures of Heracles. In the succeeding Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, Homeric and various other mythological scenes appear, supplementing the existing literary evidence.[2] Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes.]]> Sat, 02 Mar 2013 22:39:32 GMT http://www.gekos.no/workshop/video/viewvideo/219/historie-og-arkeologi/greek-mythology-god-and-goddesses--history-documentary.html <![CDATA[Athens - Wonder of the Classical World | History Channel Documentary]]>  By the 6th century BC, widespread social unrest led to the reforms of Solon. These would pave the way for the eventual introduction of democracy by Cleisthenes in 508 BC. Athens had by this time become a significant naval power with a large fleet, and helped the rebellion of the Ionian cities against Persian rule. In the ensuing Greco-Persian Wars Athens, together with Sparta, led the coalition of Greek states that repelled the Persians, defeating them decisively at Marathon in 490 BC and crucially at Salamis in 480 BC. The decades that followed became known as the Golden Age of Athenian democracy, during which time Athens became the leading city of Ancient Greece, with its cultural achievements laying the foundations of Western civilization. The playwrights Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides flourished in Athens during this time, as did the historians Herodotus and Thucydides, the physician Hippocrates, and the philosopher Socrates. Guided by Pericles, who promoted the arts and fostered democracy, Athens embarked on an ambitious building program that saw the construction of the Acropolis of Athens (including the Parthenon), as well as empire-building via the Delian League. Originally intended as an association of Greek city-states to continue the fight against the Persians, the league soon turned into a vehicle for Athens's own imperial ambitions. The resulting tensions brought about the Peloponnesian War (431--404 BC), in which Athens was defeated by its rival Sparta. The city of Athens during the classical period of Ancient Greece (508--322 BC)[1] was a notable polis (city-state) of Attica, Greece, leading the Delian League in the Peloponnesian War against Sparta and the Peloponnesian League. Athenian democracy was established in 508 BC under Cleisthenes following the tyranny of Hippias. This system remained remarkably stable, and with a few brief interruptions remained in place for 180 years, until 322 BC (aftermath of Lamian War). The peak of Athenian hegemony was achieved in the 440s to 430s BC, known as the Age of Pericles. In the classical period, Athens was a center for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato's Akademia and Aristotle's Lyceum,[2][3] Athens was also the birthplace of Socrates, Pericles, Sophocles, and many other prominent philosophers, writers and politicians of the ancient world. It is widely referred to as the cradle of Western Civilization, and the birthplace of democracy,[4] largely due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5th and 4th centuries BC on the rest of the then known European continent.[5] By the end of Late Antiquity, the city experienced decline followed by recovery in the second half of the Middle Byzantine Period, in the 9th to 10th centuries AD, and was relatively prosperous during the Crusades, benefiting from Italian trade. In 1458 it was conquered by the Ottoman Empire and entered a long period of decline.]]> Sat, 02 Mar 2013 22:38:16 GMT http://www.gekos.no/workshop/video/viewvideo/218/historie-og-arkeologi/athens-wonder-of-the-classical-world--history-channel-documentary.html <![CDATA[The Dark Age Renaissance of Northern Europe | BBC Documentary]]>  The Dark Ages have been misunderstood. History has identified the period following the fall of the Roman Empire with a descent into barbarism - a terrible time when civilisation stopped. Waldemar Januszczak disagrees. In this four-part series he argues that the Dark Ages were a time of great artistic achievement, with new ideas and religions provoking new artistic adventures. He embarks on a fascinating trip across Europe, Africa and Asia, visits the world's most famous collections and discovers hidden artistic gems, all to prove that the Dark Ages were actually an 'Age of Light'. In the final episode, Waldemar looks towards the north of Europe. The Carolingians saw themselves as successors to Rome, reflected in their art. Elsewhere, the Vikings were constructing long ships with intricate decoration and marking their territory with powerful rune stones. And on the British Isles, the Irish and Anglo-Saxons were creating unique works of manuscript illumination and remarkable jewellery.]]> Sat, 02 Mar 2013 22:37:30 GMT http://www.gekos.no/workshop/video/viewvideo/217/historie-og-arkeologi/the-dark-age-renaissance-of-northern-europe--bbc-documentary.html <![CDATA[THE DARK AGES]]>  At its height in the second century A.D., the Roman Empire was the beacon of learning, trade, power and prosperity in the western world. But the once-powerful Rome,rotten to the core by the fifth century,lay open to barbarian warriors who came in wave after wave of invasion, slaughtering, stealing, and ultimately, settling. As chaos replaced culture, Europe was beset by famine, plague, persecutions, and a state of war that was so persistent it was only rarely interrupted by peace. THE DARK AGES profiles those who battled to shape the future, from the warlords whose armies threatened to case the demise of European society, like Alaric, Charles the Hammer, and Clovis.]]> Sat, 02 Mar 2013 22:36:42 GMT http://www.gekos.no/workshop/video/viewvideo/216/historie-og-arkeologi/the-dark-ages.html <![CDATA[Leonardo DaVinci The Mona Lisa - Documentary]]>  LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Regarding Copyright Law THIS VIDEO WAS UPLOADED OUTSIDE OF THE USA *DISCLAIMER* Video for educational purposes only...

The old city is situated on three hills, Tsarevets, Trapezitsa and Sveta Gora raising amidst the meanders of the Yantra. Tsarevets housed the palaces of the Bulgarian Emperors and the Patriarchate with the Patriarchal Cathedral, as well as a number of administrative and residential edifices surrounded by thick walls. Trapezitsa was known for its many churches and as the main residence of the nobility. In the Middle Ages it was among the main European centres of culture and gave its name to the architecture of the Tarnovo Artistic School, painting of the Tarnovo Artistic School and literature.

Isaak Levitan kom til verden i småbyen Kybartai i Kaunas-regionen i Litauen (den gang en del av Tsar-Russland). Foreldrene var jødiske, faren sønn av en rabbi. Faren var for øvrig for en stor del selvlært, han hadde lært seg tysk og fransk i Kaunas og arbeidet senere som tolk for et fransk byggefirma som anla jernbaner. Levitan-familien flyttet til Moskva i 1870 . Høsten 1873 startet Levitan ved Moskvas skole i maling, billedhogging og arkitektur, der den eldre broren Avel hadde begynt to år i forveien. Etter et år i kopieringsklassen ble Levitan overflyttet til naturalistklassen, og straks deretter over i landskapsklassen. Lærerne hans var malerne Aleksej Savrasov (som hadde størst innflytelse på han), Vasilij Perov og Vasilij Polenov. Levitans mor døde i 1875, faren hadde vært alvorlig syk og døde et par år senere. Som en følge av sitt talent og sine prestasjoner, fikk Levitan et stipend som gjorde han i stand til å videreføre malerstudiene.]]> Sat, 14 Apr 2012 18:52:51 GMT http://www.gekos.no/workshop/video/viewvideo/183/historie-og-arkeologi/isaak-levitan-joseph--1860-1900-.html <![CDATA[Gustav Vigeland - Frogneranlegget - del 1. 1955.
