MINOA - a Minoan ship reconstruction in Chania, Crete, Greece - ΧΑΝΙΑ ΚΡΗΤΗ
Minoa is a scientific reconstruction of an ancient Minoan vessel from around 1500 BC. Ships like these sailed in the Aegean Sea at the peak of the Minoan period, connecting the Greek islands and the mainland in the Bronze age. The hull is neither carvel nor lapstrake, but a special shell-first construction that used ropes to pull the strakes together. Read more on the website of the Maritime Museum of Crete in Chania (Ναυτικό Μουσείο Κρήτης):
The rig is a square sail with a special net of thin ropes that hangs in front of the sail fabric to ease the strain on the fabric. Similar cross patterns can also be observed on 2000 years younger rune stones from Sweden, depicting Viking ships. There is no doubt that the Vikings replicated rigs that for long had been in use in the Mediterranean Sea. To read more about the Viking ships see my site
Rekonstruksjon av et Minoisk fartøy fra rundt 1500 år f.Kr. Slike skip bandt sammen de greske øyene og var forløpere til de suksessrike fønikiske handelsskipene. Riggen er et enkelt råseil med taunett foran seilduken. Skipet er utstilt i Chania by på Kreta.
War Museum Polemiko Mousio - Outside Video Tour (Athens, Greece)
The War Museum (Polemiko Mousio) offers great views of old war planes, weapons and other machinary! The outside area is free to explore and the inside area is where you dig for your wallet.
Website:
The Athens War Museum (Greek: Πολεμικό Μουσείο), established on July 18, 1975, is the museum of the Greek Armed Forces. Its purpose is the exhibition of weapon artifacts and the relevant research in the history of war. It covers the history of war in all ages. The museums' collections include the collection of the Greek Army, with artifacts from other civilizations such as Ancient China and Ancient Japan.In 1964, the Hellenic State decided to found the War Museum, wishing to honor all those who fought for Greece and its freedom. The design of the museum was undertaken by a team of distinguished scientists, headed by Professor Thoukidides Valentis of the National Technical university of Athens (N.T.U.A). On July 18, 1975, the President of the Hellenic Republic H.E. Constantine Tsatsos and the Minister of National Defense Evangelos Averoff-Tositsas inaugurated the Museum. Its various activities include the publication of books, the establishment and maintenance of monuments and memorials and the aid to services and agencies all over Greece. The Museum’s exhibition areas are distributed over four levels (floors) and present images of Greek history from antiquity to the present.The museum's centerpieces are weaponry from wars in which Greece was involved.
The War Museum has established Museum Branches at the cities of Nauplion (Peloponnese) (1988), Chania (Crete) (1995), Tripoli (Peloponnese) (1997) and Thessaloniki (2000). After building the Hellenic Air Force Museum, some airplanes were brought to this museum.

Checklist Earth: Greece (Pt. 4/12)
Take a virtual 360 journey through Greece.
* Full Notes and Thoughts:
Part 4: After flying to Chania on the island of Crete, we rent a car and drive out to the stunning beach known as Satan’s Porch. We decided not to hike down, but, instead, spent some time up on the ridge looking down and hanging with the local sheep. Then we drove into town to experience the hell of trying to find parking in Old Town. Nerves were settled with beer and octopus at Pallas, followed by walking out to the old light house at the end of the jetty in the Venetian Harbor. The evening is highlighted by a stop at the Greek National Football Museum and a taste of Cretan Brewery’s Charma at a little cafe called Filira Bistro.
Checklist Earth is a travel series that celebrates my (somewhat annoying) mania for planning, timing, unnecessary details, and logistics. So, let my neurosis be your guide and enjoy the ride.

7- GANYMEDE with ZEUS/JUPITER. In an aggressive stance, the eagle is drinking Nectar served by a frail submissive pretty boy, Ganymede! Zeus, (Erastes: lover)in his paed-erastic (boy-loving) moments saw a Frygian (Turkish) child and downed on him, in Asia Minor, as an eagle, and made him his eromenos (loveboy) with the title The Cup Bearer, to serve drinks to the Olympian Gods. Later, Zeus paid the parents handsomely, and placed the boy as a star in heaven.
For some, this represents the Greek invasion of Asia Minor. Others say it is a consecration of pedophilia, an adult's relationship with a boy, caring for his education and upbringing against sexual favours!
Rembrandt made a funny painting, depicting an eagle snatching a scared and peeing ugly baby! Maybe, in remembrance of the OT allowing Rabbis/Priests to rape children 3 yrs & older!
Historically, in overpopulated Greece, Pedophilia was institutionalized as a birth control, for men to leave their wives alone, as well as letting a boy follow his adult lover to serve him during the long years of absence in wartime or while sailing/traveling abroad.
In Literature & History, the theme flourishes in obvious relationships of Hylas & Hercules, Alexander the Great & Baguas, Socrates & Alkibiades, Xenophon & Klinias, Phidias &??, Hadrian & Antinuous, Achilleus & Patroklos, or artistically dissimulated, e.g. King Arthur & co., Don Quijote & Sancho Pansa, Sherlok Holmes & Dr. Watson, Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde), and in Comics as Laurel & Hardy, Superman & Wonderboy, or in Cowboy, Wartime & Prison novels.
The Evangelist St. John, in the NT, is represented as an eagle holding a chalice!!! Imagine what it means!!
8- Ganymede the cup bearer: See 7! Here he is represented in 2 versions, a & b. One holding the cup, the other pouring carefully the precious drink!
9- HERMes/MERCury: The God of many talents: The messenger of gods, thus the protector of Postmen, and travel agencies! The go-between lovers, a procurer, a pimp! The god of MERChants, MERChandisers, sales people, Marketing Executives, Business Schools. As a baby he stole the cattle of his brother Apollo, hiding his tracks not to be discovered, stole Poseidon/Neptune's Trident, the dress of Aphrodite/Venus to pass as a woman, or gay, and consequently he is the god of thieves too. A HERME, a guide and path finder, a distance runner. He is a polyglot, speaks many languages, and therefore god of rhetoricians, lawyers, liars and translators (HERMEneutics: interpretation of sacred texts). Often represented as a road stone with an erected phallos, a Babylonian Fertility god, and therefore the god of marriage and family. As a harp player he is the Patron of Artists. As the creator of fire, he is the friend of Mankind. As the inventor of DICE, he is the god of Gamblers.
Here, in short: Hera discovers Zeus (her husband) is having an affair (one of many) with Io, one of her priestesses, and in jealousy turned her into a cow. She puts her servant Argos, a monster with eyes all over his body, to keep an eye on the poor cow, in case Zeus should sire her as a bull. Zeus asks Hermes/Mercury to get rid of this guardian. Mercury, a good player and inventor of the Harp plays tunes that make Argos close one eye after the other. In this very moment, see Mercury pulling his sword, he will kill the poor monster!
10- HERAKLES/HERCULES: When you read the Epic of Gilgamesh, you'll understand Herakles was a Babylonian god imported to Greece, as well as how the myths of Noah's arch and the deluge suddenly found their way into the Bible.
Being the bastard of Zeus, Herakles is hated by Hera, and subjugated to many experiences before becoming HERA-Kles, the glory of Hera, and made a god. When just born, he strangulates, with his bare baby hands, the poisonous snakes that Hera had placed in his cradle to get rid of him. In the 12 labours he has to go through, he kills the Nemean Lion with his bare hands, skins it and wears the skin, that with his club becomes his brand image. The club for many represents his Virility. More in a later video!
11- The 3 GRACES. Latin of the Greek Charites, (Xaris: gr. charm & elegance)! Up to 9 but most often only 3, Aglaya (splendid), Euphorosyn (playul & happy), and Thalia (cheerful). Priesteses of Aphrodite/Venus, they dance in circle around her under the spell of Apollos music making, here played by Eros. In 2 vers., a&b, discussing LOVE!
12- EROS/AMOR. Vers. a&b. He may be the oldest of all gods, the creator of the world. Before him was nothing, no one. These 2 vesions represent him triumphing over all other gods, Apollo (Harp), Ares/Mars (helmet), Herakles (lion-skin), Zeus (thunderbolt), Dionysos/Bacchus, winestaff. Euuuuh LOVE WINS THEM ALL!

Hi, I am Eileen from Belgium, nice to meet you. I started this channel two years ago but was not updating on a regular basis. After making some videos for friends and family, I realized this is something I love to do. I got inspired by some of my favorite YouTube channels such as Travellight, Kara & Nate, The Way Away and the Bucketlist Family. I accepted the challenge to visit all Belgian municipalities and because I love to travel, I do it as often as possible.

Το 1967, μετά από πρόσκληση του Τμήματος Αρχαιοτήτων, ήλθε στην Κύπρο μια διεθνής επιστημονική αποστολή με ειδίκευση στη θαλάσσια αρχαιολογία, επί κεφαλής της οποίας βρισκόταν ο Αμερικανός αρχαιολόγος Michael Katzev.
Το ναυάγιο, αποτελεί το παλαιότερο καλύτερα διατηρημένο στον κόσμο ξύλινο εμπορικό πλοίο που έχει βρεθεί στο βυθό. Το ναυάγιο ανακάλυψε ο Κερυνειώτης αυτοδύτης Ανδρέας Καριόλου το 1965 στη θάλασσα της Κερύνειας, σε βάθος 30 μέτρων περίπου. Αρχικά ο Καριόλου εντόπισε αρχαίους αμφορείς, που αποτελούσαν μέρος του φορτίου του πλοίου.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
