 Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, now let's take a look to Nepal. A very short introduction to the Nepal Temple Project. It's an international and interdisciplinary campaign with a combined, under the umbrella of the University of Kiel, cultural historical research, archaeology, restoration, and restoration in Nepal. So we have a very strong working program since 2015, and now the money runs out, and I think in 2019 we are finished, and also I'm finished with the publication. At first, let me say some words to the political frameworks, if we start in 2015 in Nepal, and it was a great struggle between Nepal and India. In summary, the border was closed and everything is shut down in Nepal. And second, the big earthquake in 2015, great, great problems every time. So the Anantalingjvara Mahadeva Temple is located about 20 kilometers southwest of Bhaktapur. Bhaktapur is one of the old kingdom cities in the valley of Kathmandu, in the center of Nepal, surrounded with mountains. Maybe two hours by feet from Bhaktapur in this direction, this is our temple site. The temple is built on a man-made terrace on an altitude of 1,457 meters, and it's built on a square plan based on the cosmic mandala. The plan of this temple is strictly orientated to the cardinal directions, usually along the east-west axis. This temple carries the heaven to the earth and transmits the divine laws to a mankind. But we see here the buildings deviation from the north-south axis are not exactly in the right direction. This is a picture of before we start our work from February of 2015 on the most important part of this place, the west wall. This was our first place we took, yeah, we began our work. What is so important about this west wall, if we start our work we don't know so much about conditions and measurements and so on and so on. And now we know we have a thickness of over two meters, a brick wall with a thickness of over two meters. So now we know it is one of the thickest brick walls in whole Nepal. Here we have an isometric view of the western borderline of the temple square or excavation area with the places for ancestral worship. At first we found a big brick debels layer at this place. At second under this layer we found a small structure like an altar. And now Mr. Barat found in this small structure a secondary used relief so-called torana. Torana is a decorated lintel in this context. This torana was indeed a very surprising bombshell cause this torana is from the Likavi time, maybe between the 6th and the 8th century. And we have so much of this in Nepal. At the southern end of the west wall we are able to excavate a fountain from the 70th century. The deep of the well only one meter fifteen and its location next to a year round water beeric source suggests use for cult purposes. But to a great disappointment the fountain was filled only with recent ceramics and some coins from the late 70s. Another very exciting place was the square around the eastern temple access right at the entrance to the temple. Two founders still located with where we dated to the 7th century. These so-called Chilapatra beers the symbol of the king Narendra Deva, recumbent bull. The bull is the vehicle of Lord Fihuah and the symbol of the moon and as well for recreation and Hinduism. And what he said on this day is I came to this place King Narendra Deva. I came to this place and saw that my predecessors had failed. Everything was in bad condition. But now everything was good because I am here and I give slaves rise and priests to this place. This is a strong indication that this place was very important, was very important long before King Narendra Deva. So we are able to identify one of the oldest permanently used Nepali coat places. Close to the Chilapatra the visitor is welcomed by two lagers. Lagers are symbols of cosmic energy. Ah, okay, sorry, this was a test. Okay, and close to these Nagas are two line guards figures in the entrance. In Hinduism the line is the guardian of the universe. This symbol is a part of every Hindu temple in South Asia. We have two line guards, one male and one female. This is the male. So then at first you were welcomed at the plateau seven shrines of different ages. This was the shrine of the 17th century and more than three meters high guarded by the vehicle of Lord Shiva the bull. In addition we are able to identify one of the few surviving Likavi shrines in Nepal. This is one of these on our temple plateau. Most of Likavi times artifacts are destroyed or secondary used. Here we have one original condition. The main temple is from the end of the 19th century which is domed and is an example of the adoption of British building techniques in Nepal. I think he's heavily destroyed during the earthquake and so on. So our most important source about the younger history of the site are the inscriptions. In addition we have more than 10 inscriptions from different times from the beginning of the 70th century to the 19th century. An important example is the inscription of from a male ancestor figure. The statue was located close to the north end of the western wall. The translation of this inscription sent us to maybe 1648. So you can imagine this is not the real head of this figure as we think the real head of this figure was in the property of some wealth tourists. So conclusion. Another language by Amadeva temple is one of the oldest permanently used places in Nepal. And it's one of the most important sites of Likavi art in the Kathmandu valley. We haven't so much of these. Foundation in the Likavi period between the 5th and the 7th century we think so. The oldest preserved architecture is from the Malan dynasty 12th century and then we have an extensive renovation in the 16th century. The main temple is from the 19th century. We have a lot of support for our team, whole Germany and all over the world. We must say thank you very much for all these people. So if you have further questions, please contact me. I think the publication in the German publication such for also European archaeology will end in the end of the year. So thank you very much.
