A 17th Century History for Girls
The years after the Civil War and the Restoration of Charles II marked the end of the medieval and the beginning of the modern age. These were exciting times for women and some rose to prominence like never before. Some had remarkably modern attitudes and ambitions and achieved wealth, celebrity and power that still seems outstanding even by 21st century standards. But, at the same time, they faced a world that was still predominantly male, misogynistic and positively medieval in its outlook.

Saxon gold: Finding the hoard
This tale of the largest Anglo Saxon treasure hoard ever found is a must-see for the modern day treasure hunter. The unprecedented find mesmerised archaeologists and historians around the world, and made global headlines. In Saxon Gold: Finding the Hoard, we uncover the full story. Nothing like this has ever been found in Britain before -- sixteen hundred pieces of bejewelled gold and silver, buried, lost then forgotten.

From the EMMY AWARD WINNING Producers of "The Mystery of the Sphinx" and the Producers of "The Mysterious Origins of Man" comes a new ground breaking film about "New Evidence of Early Man: SUPPRESSED." What happens when scientific evidence conflicts with theory? In the early sixties, discoveries were made in Central Mexico, which were the handiwork of early man. Exquisitely carved animal bones and advanced spear points caused much excitement, including a Life Magazine article, until the dates came in. 5 mutually exclusive geological tests revealed they were over 250,000 years old. In spite of the geochronology, archaeologists insisted the dates were too ridiculously old. This world-class archaeological region became off-limits for official research, a "professional forbidden zone."

Germania: the Nation that Defeated Rome
Arminius (18/17 BC -- AD 21), also known as Armin or Hermann (Arminius being a Latinization, similar to Brennus), was a chieftain of the Germanic Cherusci who defeated a Roman army in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. Arminius's influence held an allied coalition of Germanic tribes together in opposition to the Romans but after defeats by the Roman general Germanicus, nephew of the Emperor Tiberius, his influence waned, and Arminius was assassinated on the orders of rival Germanic chiefs.[1] Arminius's victory against the Roman legions in the Teutoburg forest had a far-reaching effect on the subsequent history of both the ancient Germanic peoples and on the Roman Empire. The Romans were to make no more concerted attempts to conquer and permanently hold Germania beyond the river Rhine.

Greek Mythology: God and Goddesses
http://youtu.be/m8U-06pD958
Archaeological findings provide a principal source of detail about Greek mythology, with gods and heroes featured prominently in the decoration of many artifacts. Geometric designs on pottery of the eighth century BC depict scenes from the Trojan cycle as well as the adventures of Heracles. In the succeeding Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods, Homeric and various other
mythological scenes appear, supplementing the existing literary evidence.[2] Greek mythology has had an extensive influence on the culture, arts, and literature of Western civilization and remains part of Western heritage and language. Poets and artists from ancient times to the present have derived inspiration from Greek mythology and have discovered contemporary significance and relevance in the themes.

Treinritten Sobibor na 70 jaar herdacht op UvA
© ANP. Herdenking in voormalig kamp Westerbork in 2010.
70 jaar geleden vertrok de eerste treinrit vanuit Westerbork naar het concentratiekamp Sobibor. Maandag start daarom het Herinneringsjaar 2013 van de Stichting Sobibor met een bijeenkomst op de Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA).
In 1943 maakten ruim 34.000 Joodse mannen, vrouwen en kinderen uit Nederland de gedwongen reis naar Oost-Polen. Op een enkeling na werden zij in binnen 5 maanden tijd allemaal vermoord.In de aula van de UvA begint om 13 uur een lezing van Jules Schelvis, de enige overlevende van het 14e transport naar Sobibor en oprichter van de stichting. Hij schreef onlangs het boek 'Er reed een trein naar Sobibor', waarin hij voor het eerst zijn verhaal deed over het transport. Dirk Mulder, directeur van Herinneringscentrum Kamp Westerbork, reikt het eerste exemplaar van de Herinneringsbox uit, een document over de geschiedenis van Sobibor. Kamerkoor Ad Parnassum brengt het muziekstuk De Trein naar Sobibor van Mathieu Dijker ten gehore.
Tot 20 juli 2013 organiseert de Stichting Sobibor verscheidene bijeenkomsten op of rond de transportdata van 1943.
