knowledge to others who are looking for the past to the perfect online presentation and that's exactly what one young man from berlin is doing. spot i always like sports even when i was in school. today you start a man's popular you tube videos tell little stories from his life visualized with sketches. and this is this latest one today's donovan's you tube channel has more than two hundred fifty thousand subscribers he's been producing clips since the age of fourteen a few years ago he started earning a living from them. tells a thousand clicks earns me one euro two thousand clicks that's not so much this one i got five thousand views of this when i got here thirty thousand times so what only thirty four year olds. i would have but sometimes my videos went viral and i made two thousand euro. to stop it. but today shadowman is switching gears to help to

a friend on social media. to help two years ago i coached a friend of mine and that worked out really well. with the office so i realized i have know how they can help other people become a success on youtube. focused. cacio boseman is his latest client she's developed a range of big and beauty products but she still needs some advice on marketing them and social media and instagram in particular is common in the us at off i'm from the facebook era instagram this is into graham to me it's like wizardry i have no idea how it works or why people use the platform and you know it's i don't know i did them in the shift again. so i still need to learn all the ins and outs by being think how does i believe social media is the future and i'm an expert in this field it was a highly entertaining content for you tube and that's

a solution as in the case of this family from. got in the south of germany they found a building plot that a new family home but in fact it was just a rather narrow passageway nevertheless they managed to come up with a rather clever solution as they explained in today's. the finke family had been looking for years for an affordable building site near stuttgart. and then this one turned up. the plot of land was really inexpensive because it was unusually narrow. it's left over from a larger piece of property. you know it just felt like you and the properties around here are quite expensive. but we found this site in a sling and. they used to be

a driveway here but it wasn't being used so we got a good deal. of help. and that's how it all started. if you subtract the required minimum distance to the next lot the property measures four point seven meters wide fourteen meters long. and i had to ask my husband you really think we can build a house here and he said i've got a plan and i said ok go for it and the basic timeline. for architect thomas fink this was an exercise in how to save space. we use the world's thinnest walls he's probably covered up panels or just six centimeters thick six in the middest ok . polycarbonates are thermal plastic polymers that are used in a wide variety of applications there are durable and in some grades translucent. i mean they often talk during the first couple of days the sun was shining and the front of the building kept making these popping noises because the material kept

expanding and contracting and it's just it's kind of spooky at first but we got used to it pretty fast. to. think family home as a total floor space of one hundred forty seven square meters five rooms on four levels we kept construction costs low. we stuck to the essentials. that meant no expensive windows on the long side walls and no expensive interior construction just concrete and cement based flooring it looks like a work in progress does for you but it's not use the polycarbonate to frame the surrounding countryside so the landscape is like a big old decoration shop and the scenery changes with the seasons you know ya just like. at the front of the house they have a nice view and in the back a small garden the color scheme is just white and grey except when they light up

the polycarbonate panels. you know my husband likes it i don't use it a lot except when we have company. so on a narrow plot of land the things manage to put a house that lights up their life. believe it or not fake news has been around for a very long time throughout history experts have repeatedly come across find which they believe to be a sensation until they were taught otherwise now an exhibition in the german town of his time is dedicated to some amazing false finds and sometimes they are just as exciting as retraces. it was an archaeological. sensation in one thousand nine hundred sixty is called t r and was offered to the louvre in paris it had supposedly just been discovered and was sent to date from the third

century b.c. the museum paid a record some for the artifact at first it seemed like a good investment the singer tavernise drew large numbers of visitors that homs would idle but then a couple of archaeologists said the way the depiction is i ranged is a bit unusual a bit awards. the status quo and one day a man from a desk named israel rushkoff skee came and said excuse me but i made that excellent district up in the past and they thought of he's crazy he's just a guy from the countryside some kind of craftsman seeking attention and they've got stuff just as. unfortunately for the louvre the goldsmith was able to prove his talents by reproducing part of the tiara. to art dealers had commissioned him to make the piece based on historical drawings of the loo for quickly removed the object from its display and was subjected to much derision today in the tiara so

your tougher news is regarded as the most famous fake in archaeological history. there were serious museum in here this time is now devoted an exhibition to stories like these. the show on errors and forgeries in archaeology features more than two hundred exhibits their history is often amusing and whitening and no more relevant than ever fetch from us that we cannot spot on the floor trees are clearly a very exciting topic fake used every day we deal with fake news or not fake news what is facts and what isn't and it's a topic which people in politics science but in culture as well have to deal with all the telling and that some of us. so it's hardly surprising that mistakes are made. but you need to. thirty eight when these metal pieces from an old bucket were mistaken for a priceless royal crown. and there was clearly some wishful thinking

involved when bones allegedly belonging to the skeleton of the unicorn of peddling borg were discovered in the hasa mountains in six hundred sixty three. using bones and tusks from mammoths researchers reconstructed the mystical creature that they clearly wanted to believe in man had. they kept thinking about what it could look like because of course no one had ever seen one in the side of the so they were different considerations that it looked like a host with a hole and all something else entirely that's you have us for what we see here is a replica based on bones that really have been found though they weren't from just one animal but from several and. even got played video mblaq minutes including the drawing of the find in his standard work on paleontology the polymath fell victim to a hype that began in ancient times and peaked in the middle ages that continues to this day it seems that unicorns never go out of fashion.

this isn't an archaeological error but it is the most famous forgery in post-war west german history the hitler diaries in one thousand nine hundred three down magazine fell for these tricks. the weekly news magazine paid an art forger a huge nine million dollar marks for the diaries before going public with their seemingly sensational find and he doubts as to their authenticity were simply dismissed until the diaries were exposed as fakes. the diary of an exhibition comes from germany's federal archives just one of the sixty volumes forged has been loaned out the scandal surrounding the fake their diaries certainly made one thing clear if it seems too good. to be true it probably is a lot of it you didn't even know new facts are produced every day you have to deal with them in

a critical way you need to consider whether the great story of being told is actually effect. though sometimes fakes are at least as interesting as originals as this exhibition in him to sign clearly shows. well the saying goes to human and with that we wrap up the show for today thanks for tuning in and hopefully we'll see you again tomorrow and of course in the meantime you can follow us on social media until we meet again from me and we can try out your own mix t.v. and balanced take care and advice for now. next time on your own max the tenth edition of this our film festival is now underway at a ski resort in the french alps the festival is widely respected in the film industry under track smog so famous faces. cinema in the snow
