Giecz (Polska) - Rezerwat archeologiczny i muzeum - Gród Piastowski

Strona projektu:

Giecz - wieś w Polsce położona w województwie wielkopolskim, w powiecie średzkim, w gminie Dominowo leżąca nad Moskawą. Jeden z najstarszych i najważniejszych ośrodków grodowych wzniesiony około 865 roku, związany z początkami państwa polskiego, który typuje się na prawdopodobną siedzibę rodową pierwszych Piastów. Jeden z najważniejszych piastowskich ośrodków centralnych, umieszczony przez Galla Anonima (obok Gniezna, Poznania i Włocławka) na liście wielkich grodów Bolesława Chrobrego. Na tle innych warowni pobudowanych przez Piastów na obszarze, gdzie wykrystalizowało się i skąd rozprzestrzeniało się ich władztwo, Giecz wyróżnia wyjątkowo wczesna metryka. Jego początki wiążą się z niewielkim gródkiem wzniesionym w latach 60. IX wieku, jeszcze w okresie przedpaństwowym. Giecki gród, którego wyjątkowe znaczenie dla członków dynastii przypada na okres wczesnopiastowski (do najazdu księcia czeskiego Brzetysława w 1039 roku), funkcjonował przez cały kilkusetletni czas panowania Piastów. Zachowane do tej pory pozostałości drewniano-ziemnych umocnień doskonale ukazują rozmach piastowskich inwestycji. W ich obrębie znajdują się eksponowane in situ kamienne relikty jednych z najwcześniejszych budowli monumentalnych na ziemiach polskich. Są to znajdujące się w południowej części grodziska fundamenty zaplanowanego na wielką skalę pałacu książęcego ze sprzężoną z nim kaplicą w kształcie rotundy, którego budowę przerwano w niewyjaśnionych okolicznościach. Natomiast kamienny mur widoczny w północnej partii majdanu jest pozostałością obiektu zrealizowanego w początkach XI wieku). Był to kościół, którego architektura nie znajduje swoich odpowiedników na ziemiach polskich. Jednym z rewelacyjnych obiektów związanych z kościołem jest unikatowa krypta relikwiarzowa nawiązująca do krypt okresu karolińskiego. Giecz skrywa jeszcze wiele tajemnic, których wyjaśnieniu służą prace archeologiczne podejmowane zarówno na grodzisku, jak i w jego bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie...

POLAND - WikiVidi Documentary

Poland , officially the Republic of Poland , is a sovereign country in Central Europe. It is a unitary state divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312679 km2 with a mostly temperate climate. With a population of over 38.5 million people, Poland is the sixth most populous member state of the European Union. Poland's capital and largest city is Warsaw. Other cities include Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk and Szczecin. The establishment of a Polish state can be traced back to 966, when Mieszko I, ruler of a territory roughly coextensive with that of present-day Poland, converted to Christianity. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented a longstanding political association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin. This union formed the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest and most populous countries of 16th and 17th century Europe with a uniquely liberal political system which declared Europe's fir...

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
The Poles (Polish: Polacy, pronounced [pɔˈlat͡sɨ]; singular masculine: Polak, singular feminine: Polka), commonly referred to as the Polish people, are a nation and West Slavic ethnic group native to Poland in Central Europe who share a common ancestry, culture, history, and are native speakers of the Polish language. The population of self-declared Poles in Poland is estimated at 37,394,000 out of an overall population of 38,538,000 (based on the 2011 census), of whom 36,522,000 declared Polish alone.A wide-ranging Polish diaspora (the Polonia) exists throughout Europe, the Americas, and in Australasia. Today, the largest urban concentrations of Poles are within the Warsaw and Silesian metropolitan areas.
Poland's history dates back over a thousand years, to c. 930–960 AD, when the Polans – an influential West Slavic tribe in the Greater Poland region, now home to such cities as Poznań, Gniezno, Kalisz, Konin and Września – united various Lechitic tribes under what became the Piast dynasty, thus creating the Polish state. The subsequent Christianization of Poland, in 966 CE, marked Poland's advent to the community of Western Christendom.
Poles have made important contributions to the world in every major field of human endeavor. Notable Polish émigrés – many of them forced from their homeland by historic vicissitudes – have included physicists Marie Skłodowska Curie and Joseph Rotblat, mathematician Stanisław Ulam, pianists Fryderyk Chopin and Arthur Rubinstein, actresses Helena Modjeska and Pola Negri, novelist Joseph Conrad, military leaders Tadeusz Kościuszko and Casimir Pulaski, U.S. National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski, politician Rosa Luxemburg, filmmakers Samuel Goldwyn and the Warner Brothers, cartoonist Max Fleischer, and cosmeticians Helena Rubinstein and Max Factor.

Poland (Polish: Polska [ˈpɔlska] (listen)), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska [ʐɛt͡ʂpɔˈspɔlita ˈpɔlska] (listen)), is a country located in Central Europe. It is divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312,696 square kilometres (120,733 sq mi), and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With a population of approximately 38.5 million people, Poland is the sixth most populous member state of the European Union. Poland's capital and largest metropolis is Warsaw. Other major cities include Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk and Szczecin.

More than a century after the Partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century, Poland regained its independence in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles. In September 1939, World War II started with the invasion of Poland by Germany, followed by the Soviet Union invading Poland in accordance with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. More than six million Polish citizens perished in the war. In 1947, the Polish People's Republic was established as a satellite state under Soviet influence. In the aftermath of the Revolutions of 1989, most notably through the emergence of the Solidarity movement, the sovereign state of Poland reestablished itself as a presidential democratic republic.
Poland is a developed market and regional power. It has the eighth largest and one of the most dynamic economies in the European Union, simultaneously achieving a very high rank on the Human Development Index.
