it's a good thing the germans took it to berlin otherwise the muslims would have destroyed it like the bamiyan buddha

Taliban extremist practices cannot generally be attributed to Islam; the Taliban unrepresentative of Islamic tolerance for other religions, as often demonstrated over the centuries.

Indonesia, the most populous Muslim country, has protected Buddhist & Hindu World Heritage Sites: on Java I visited the Buddhist stupa of Borobudur, and the Pramadan Hindu temples.

Jerusalem holy Christian sites were protected as well, the Crusades unnecessary.

Contrary examples are in India.

Pergamon is now in Turkey but it is the Turks that made it...

Why dressing the video with Turkish music?

[intrepberkexplorer]

German music would have been wrong. That left a choice between Turkish and Roman. Having visited Pergamon and seen the empty acropolis site where the temple once stood, I decided to go with a musical suggestion that the Alter of Zeus should be back in its original location, which is now part of Turkey.

The questions that should be asked is "why would they take these items & erect them in certain locations?!" It all has to do w/the psychopathic ruling elites...Illuminazi's wanting to use such for their demonic ritualistic gains. They don't want the general public having access to these items...they are thieves all that has been stolen by them must be returned to their rightful places & ppl. These mentally sick bastards have stolen enuff from the ppl!!

Hey David ,you better check your Info´s next Time.After a Contract with the Osman Empire it was agreed that all gold objects found during exavations ,and all Objects dated to post Islamisation would be handed over to the Osman Empire.All Objects dated to pre islamisation would become Possesion of Germany.

Andwhen you speak of stolen...what about the estimated 15 German objects stolen from Germany by the Us after ww2.

In 1878 the German engineer Carl Humann began official excavations on the acropolis of Pergamon, an effort which lasted until 1886. His chief purpose was to rescue the altar friezes and expose the foundation of the edifice. Later, other ancient structures on the acropolis were brought to light. In negotiations with the Turkish government, which participated in the excavation, it was agreed that all frieze fragments found at the time become the property of the Berlin museums.

Yazık cok yazık bu eserler orjinal yerinde daha olaganüstü duracaktı.

mutlak birgün yuvaya dönecekler.

Bunları bizden mahrum eenlaer mutlak birgün insanlıga bu hırsızlıgın cevabını verecekler.

Acaba almanlardan biz calsa idik bu eserleri ne yaparlardı.

It's the throne of satan. In Rev chapter 2, JESUS is speaking to seven historical churches that were all situated along the west coastof asia minor,or modern turkey: "To the angel of the church in pergamum write: These are the words of him who has the sharp, double-edged sword. I know where you live-where satan has his throne " Rev 2:12-13.
