Exclusive interview with the discoverer of the tomb of Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great is one of the most famous people in the world history. Many myths and legends surround the - allegedly buried in Alexandria - ruler. Baghdad Djillali Difallah, a French researcher, recently discovered the real grave of Alexander. However, not in Egypt but in the Kingdom of Jordan!
This is one of the biggest history sensations of the last decades. That there is a global media blackout on this discovery, despite a press conference, is food for thoughts in many ways. In the latest edition of the popular show In the footsteps of our history he gives the ExtremeNews-team an exclusive interview and shows photographs from the inside of the magnificent mausoleum.
According to tradition, Alexander the Great (or Alexander III of Macedonia) was born on July 20 - 356 BC in Pella and died on June 10 - 323 BC in Babylon. From 336 BC until his death, he was King of Macedonia and Hegemon of the League of Corinth.
As one can read on Wikipedia, it is presumed that Alexander’s grave had been moved from Memphis to Alexandria where a magnificent tomb had been built for him. This tomb has been replaced by King Ptolemy IV, who was like all Diadochi appealed to Alexander's model, by a new mausoleum which would serve as a tomb for the Ptolemaic royal line. So far the assumptions. Again according to the free encyclopaedia, many localization attempts have been made since the 18th century. All have failed so far.
Difallah commented as follows on this hypothesis : The archaeologists have focused too much on Alexandria but no one found his grave in Alexandria. There are so many buildings so it could only have been by accident if they found it there. One should not forget that there were two tsunamis in Alexandria who destroyed the Pharos, counting about 50,000 deaths. It is my opinion first of all that he was never buried there and the second thing is: as the nominated bishop of Alexandria arrived, he asked the residents of Alexandria to show him where is Alexander’s grave but no one knew where it was! That would be as if someone asks in Paris for the Arc de Triomphe and nobody would know about it. And then I knew: he is not there!
As a specialist of ancient cartography, Difallah researched for 15 years in private libraries, for example in Dusseldorf as well as in the National Library of Paris and studied Alexander the Great. Originally his research was focused on the Ark of the Covenant which is mentioned by the Bible and other religions, and is seemingly also connected to Alexander.
Difallah: There are certain maps that are interpreted wrongly by the archaeologists. I found him thus next to Amman in Jordan. Amman is 3,000 years old and was called Rabbath-Ammon, the capital of the Decapolis. This was ignored by archaeologists...
On July 23, 2013, Difallah presented at a press conference at the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris his impressive discovery that he made already three years earlier. A discovery representing in his eyes the greatest archaeological treasure of all time. The tomb contains besides the glorious golden sarcophagus and a stunning amount of golden statues and –vessels also diamonds and gold bars. This all will be discussed more detailed in the film, proved by photos and videos which are shown partly. In addition, there should be in the necropolis. In addition to a live-sized golden chariot, walls made of pure gold and other treasures, a library is located in the necropolis containing engraved copper plates weighing several hundred kilos.
Apparently, it is not only the body of Alexander which is buried in this gigantic grave. Difallah has visited two levels of the necropolis and counted 18 heads. On the first level alone - a kind of duplex - there are 12 niches. In these niches were the bodies of kings placed. He believes that the mausoleum of Ptolemy I Soter and even the entrance to the whole bloodline of Ptolemy can be found inside and possibly also the mausoleum of Cleopatra.
The exact location is not revealed by the discoverer, he leaves this to King Abdullah II of Jordan, who to date keeps this undisclosed. Difallah: It would be awesome if they open the grave, all the other Arab countries should support the Kingdom of Jordan, in order to protect this unique heritage - it is unique - it is, after all, the grave of Alexander the Great - and that's not just anybody! !
The interview has been published in three languages as part of the program In the footsteps of our history.

나폴리의 국립 고고학 박물관은 그리스 로마시대의 미술품 소장으로 세계에서 손꼽히는 곳이다. 그래서인지 여느 박물관보다 기대감이 더 컸다. 그리스 신화에서 신중의 신인 제우스의 아들 디오스쿠리는 용감하고 전술에 뛰어난 싸움의 신이며 항해의 수호신이기도 하다. 가슴을 여러 개 가진 아르테미스 상은 다산과 양육의 여신상이다. 기원전 4세기의 조각으로 추정되는 영웅 헤라클레스의 상은 조각상을 보는 것만으로도 힘찬 기운이 느껴졌다. 신화의 한 장면을 재현한 조각상. 실제 그 순간 모든 것이 정지해 돌로 변한 듯, 그림과는 또 다르게 생동감 넘치는 감흥을 전한다. 폼페이 유적지에서 발견된 알렉산더 대왕의 전쟁 모자이크 장식화는 기원전 333년 이수스의 전투를 묘사하고 있는데, 모자이크라고 하기엔 표정들이 너무도 상세하고 실감나 보였다. 그 시절의 악사들은 지금으로 치면 연예인, 해학이 넘치는 표정이다. 시대를 뛰어넘어 내 눈앞에 펼쳐진 옛 시대의 유물들. 오랜 세월이 느껴지지 않는 생생한 감동 앞에 진정한 예술의 가치를 다시 한 번 느낀다.

National Archaeological Museum of Naples is one of the best places in the world, with art director of the Greek and Roman era. So whether greater expectations than any museum. Rookie of thoughtfully son of Zeus in Greek mythology is the god of DIOS colander and excellent brave fight to the above is also the patron of the voyage. Artemis statue with multiple breasts is a Statue of fertility and parenting. This is also powerful aura felt just by looking at the statue of the hero Hercules statue believed to be a piece of the 4th century BC. A reproduction of the statue of the mythical scenes. Everything changed the moment actually seemed stationary stone, painting and also conveys a lively inspiration differently. Jangsikhwa mosaic of Alexander the Great War has been found in the ruins of Pompeii depicting The Battle of the completion of 333 years BC's mosaic hagien that are too detailed and realistic look and looked. Musicians of those days have now hit with celebrities, it is full of humorous expressions. Relics of old age beyond the age unfolded in front of me. I feel many years once again the value of true art before the vivid impression does not feel.

Rookie of pensieroso figlio di Zeus nella mitologia greca è il dio del DIOS colino e ottima lotta coraggiosa per quanto sopra è anche il patrono del viaggio. Statua Artemide con più seno è una statua della fertilità e della genitorialità. Questo è anche potente aura sentito solo guardando la statua dell'eroe Eracle statua che si ritiene essere un pezzo del 4 ° secolo aC. Una riproduzione della statua delle scene mitiche. Tutto è cambiato nel momento in realtà sembrava fermo di pietra, la pittura e la trasmette anche un'ispirazione vivace diverso.

SUMMARY
=======
Amman (English: ; Arabic: عَمّان ʻammān pronounced [ʕamːaːn]) is the capital and most populous city of Jordan, and the country's economic, political and cultural centre. Situated in north-central Jordan, Amman is the administrative centre of the Amman Governorate. The city has a population of 4,007,526 and a land area of 1,680 square kilometres (648.7 square miles). Today, Amman is considered to be among the most liberal and modernized Arab cities. It is a major tourist destination in the region, particularly among Arab and European tourists.The earliest evidence of settlement in the area is a Neolithic site known as 'Ain Ghazal. Amman itself was built on the site of Iron Age Rabbath Ammon, the capital of the Ammonites, and was known as Philadelphia during its Greek and Roman periods and finally as Amman. Abandoned for much of the medieval and post medieval period, modern Amman dates to the late 19th century when a new village developed in the ruins, with its municipal council created in 1909. It was initially built on seven hills but now spans over 19 hills combining 27 districts, which are administered by the Greater Amman Municipality headed by its mayor Yousef Al-Shawarbeh. Areas of Amman have gained their names from either the hills (Jabal) or the valleys (Wadi) they occupy, such as Jabal Lweibdeh and Wadi Abdoun. East Amman is predominantly filled with historic sites that frequently host cultural activities, while West Amman is more modern and serves as the economic center of the city.Approximately two million visitors arrived in Amman in 2014, which made it the 93rd most visited city in the world and the 5th most visited Arab city. Amman has a relatively fast growing economy, and it is ranked Beta− on the global city index. Moreover, it was named one of the Middle East and North Africa's best cities according to economic, labor, environmental, and socio-cultural factors. The city is among the most popular locations in the Arab world for multinational corporations to set up their regional offices, alongside Doha and only behind Dubai. It is expected that in the next 10 years these three cities will capture the largest share of multinational corporation activity in the region.

Persopolis, Iran: The city was founded in 518 BC by Darius I, ruler of ancient Persia's Achaemenian Empire, and grew in grandeur until Alexander the Great sacked it two centuries later.
Kyoto, Japan: As imperial Japan's capital for more than 1,000 years, Kyoto has found a way to respectfully preserve its old traditions while eagerly embracing the new. There are more than 1,000 well-preserved Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines in the city.
Beijing, China: China's capital city has invested heavily in eye-popping modern architecture over the last two decades, but no new building speaks splendor like the city's historic heritage sites, including the Forbidden City.
Great Zimbabwe, Zimbabwe: As the kingdom of Great Zimbabwe grew into a trading empire from the 11th century, a royal complex expanded creating a terraced palace.
Timbuktu, Mali: Before the Sahara nearly swallowed the city, and before French colonialists swept through, Timbuktu was one of the world's most important centers of learning.
Machu Picchu, Peru: Sitting 8,000 feet high in the Andes, the mysterious Machu Picchu built more than 500 years ago attracts thousands of visitors a day.
Athens, Greece: Athens' ancient monuments have found remarkable ways to coexist with modern Athens. Cafes and shops can be found in walkable neighborhood streets below the Acropolis, making the ruins a part of Athenians' everyday lives.
Petra, Jordan: With a history dating back to around 300 BC, Petra is known for its magnificent buildings carved into red sandstone cliffs. Gorges and canyons surround the ancient city, creating a maze of passages that helped keep it secret from Europeans for centuries.
Ellora, India: Ellora was carved out of the mountains, and this Indian monastic complex remains relatively unknown. The temples include Hindu, Buddhist and Jaina holy sites that were built over 400 years, beginning in the 6th century.
Xian, China: China's ancient capital city is home to the famous Terracotta Warriors thousands of clay soldiers that fill the mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang.

Takht-i-Bahi, Pakistan: This Buddhist monastery was built in the first century, but fell out of use a mere 600 years later. Its hilltop location protected it against a succession of invasions, until the British came through and hauled off most of the surviving treasures. Meditation chambers here were once used by monks who brought Tantric traditions to this part of the world.
Stonehenge, England: It's believed that this prehistoric stone circle could have been built as much as 5,000 years ago and construction may have spanned over 1,500 years. The method by which the giant stones were transported here is still a mystery.

SUMMARY
=======
A mosaic is a piece of art or image made from the assembling of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It is often used in decorative art or as interior decoration. Most mosaics are made of small, flat, roughly square, pieces of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae. Some, especially floor mosaics, are made of small rounded pieces of stone, and called pebble mosaics.
Mosaics have a long history, starting in Mesopotamia in the 3rd millennium BC. Pebble mosaics were made in Tiryns in Mycenean Greece; mosaics with patterns and pictures became widespread in classical times, both in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Early Christian basilicas from the 4th century onwards were decorated with wall and ceiling mosaics. Mosaic art flourished in the Byzantine Empire from the 6th to the 15th centuries; that tradition was adopted by the Norman Kingdom of Sicily in the 12th century, by the eastern-influenced Republic of Venice, and among the Rus in Ukraine. Mosaic fell out of fashion in the Renaissance, though artists like Raphael continued to practise the old technique. Roman and Byzantine influence led Jewish artists to decorate 5th and 6th century synagogues in the Middle East with floor mosaics.
Mosaic was widely used on religious buildings and palaces in early Islamic art, including Islam's first great religious building, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, and the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus. Mosaic went out of fashion in the Islamic world after the 8th century.
Modern mosaics are made by professional artists, street artists, and as a popular craft. Many materials other than traditional stone and ceramic tesserae may be employed, including shells, glass and beads.

Modern mosaics are made by professional artists, street artists, and as a popular craft. Many materials other than traditional stone and ceramic tesserae may be employed, including shells, glass and beads.

Jordan (Arabic: الْأُرْدُنّ Al-ʾUrdunn [al.ʔur.dunː]), officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Arabic: المملكة الأردنية الهاشمية Al-Mamlakah Al-Urdunnīyah Al-Hāshimīyah), is an Arab country in Western Asia, on the East Bank of the Jordan River. Jordan is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south, Iraq to the north-east, Syria to the north, Israel and Palestine to the west. The Dead Sea lies along its western borders and the country has a small shoreline on the Red Sea in its extreme south-west, but is otherwise landlocked. Jordan is strategically located at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe. The capital, Amman, is Jordan's most populous city as well as the country's economic, political and cultural centre.What is now Jordan has been inhabited by humans since the Paleolithic period. Three stable kingdoms emerged there at the end of the Bronze Age: Ammon, Moab and Edom. Later rulers include the Nabataean Kingdom, the Roman Empire, and the Ottoman Empire. After the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottomans in 1916 during World War I, the Ottoman Empire was partitioned by Britain and France. The Emirate of Transjordan was established in 1921 by the Hashemite, then Emir, Abdullah I, and the emirate became a British protectorate. In 1946, Jordan became an independent state officially known as the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan, but was renamed in 1949 to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan after the country captured the West Bank during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and annexed it until it was lost to Israel in 1967. Jordan renounced its claim to the territory in 1988, and became one of two Arab states to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1994. Jordan is a founding member of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation. The sovereign state is a constitutional monarchy, but the king holds wide executive and legislative powers.
Jordan is a relatively-small, semi-arid, almost-landlocked country with an area of 89,342 km2 (34,495 sq mi) and a population numbering 10 million, making it the 11th-most populous Arab country. Sunni Islam, practiced by around 95% of the population, is the dominant religion in Jordan and coexists with the indigenous Christian minority. Jordan has been repeatedly referred to as an oasis of stability in a turbulent region. It has been mostly unscathed by the violence that swept the region following the Arab Spring in 2010. From as early as 1948, Jordan has accepted refugees from multiple neighbouring countries in conflict. An estimated 2.1 million Palestinian and 1.4 million Syrian refugees are present in Jordan as of a 2015 census. The kingdom is also a refuge to thousands of Iraqi Christians fleeing persecution by ISIL. While Jordan continues to accept refugees, the recent large influx from Syria placed substantial strain on national resources and infrastructure.Jordan is classified as a country of high human development with an upper middle income economy. The Jordanian economy, one of the smallest economies in the region, is attractive to foreign investors based upon a skilled workforce. The country is a major tourist destination, also attracting medical tourism due to its well developed health sector. Nonetheless, a lack of natural resources, large flow of refugees and regional turmoil have hampered economic growth.
