went to hidden say bargained with the fisherman and managed to acquire sixteen of these amazing pieces of jewelry or and for this museum soft sifton tied it is toying smokes yeah. do you know what everything is someone i can tell that's a necklace but with the rest you'll have to help me. when. i never see recognized is the only piece that's really solid gold. doesn't. it consists of several gold rods twisted together and we had the most beautiful object in the entire ensemble. a kind of a brooch used as a class for an outer garment that might have. the backing from franconian court attire this round fibula was used in their clothing. and that's what i've been the scandinavians originally had two oval fibula or

didn't. then we have these pendants they have proper loops so you can hang them on a chain as if you have none of the can mcguffin and you'll be sure this treasure is in one piece or could there still be some gold buried in the sand and hidden in the . board with a stick to the devil for the money that you still hoped we might find another piece if you look at the pendant you can see they're not all identical as this is in a different similar but they're so skillfully crafted that it's very into zine i think about the yen when they're mcguffin also if you assume they have been symmetrically arranged on a chain it's like two or more pieces are definitely missing buying after their life maybe someone from hidden say it's one of those pieces in a jewelry box and this is a tile or. is this kind of gold treasure usually under or is there something similar elsewhere in germany or europe. as is or i am such.

a treasure like the one we have here is unique the vikings tended to work in silver and so an ensemble of jewellery in the pure gold is incomparable but it's almost pure gold we've analyzed the materials if you look closely at the pieces you'll see it's the highest quality goldsmiths aren't you could expect from that time. to do that side of africa. check out some of our favorite travel pics on instagram. d w travel. before continuing my travels i need to replenish my energy reserves and for that i'm going to try a local specialty i know i have been told i have to try the bismark herring yes you must or maybe even sherry nachos. i don't think i'll go for the bismarck i've heard

the late nineteenth century. former villages like bins developed into fashionable baltic sea spas with their magnificent villas near the beach. leaning white wooden decorations are typical of the architecture associated with seaside resorts. in eighteen seventy bins had a total of eighty vacationers nowadays you can add over half a million to that but in winter i can barely imagine what this must look like in summer. because as you can see in the low season things are just like back in the day no people no hustlin bustle just perfect if you're looking for some peace and quiet.

there's only one place in germany where they exist and that's here on the island of kruger does a sea of it's always. been even has a museum devoted to chalk it's been mined here for almost two hundred years chalk is used as fertilizer in paint and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. to process the chalk it's soaked in water separated from undesired components and dried what used to take eight weeks now takes about eight minutes. for medicinal chalk only especially fine material is used after it's been additionally cleaned what remains as the museum informs visitors are mainly residues a planktonic form enough era these single celled animals had skeletons made of small calcite platelets when the organisms died they sank to the seabed and form the chalk sediment. physiotherapist york snyder from sasnett has been using her

guinn's medicine of chalk since the early one nine hundred ninety s. this natural product dissolved in water is said to stimulate the heart and circulation and have an anti inflammatory effect. on very few you know if it's used as a poultice on the back or joints warm or cold or if you're experiencing a rheumatic episode for instance it's applied cold which we were more about for chronic conditions it tends to be used warm or cool. and. the poultice is sealed to stop the chalk from drying out medicine or chalk was used on luke in as early as the turn of the twentieth century. the sediments from the cretaceous period are. also used to help cleanse and regenerate the skin as a face mask. this absolute by his skin is so soft off to its home and at first it tingles a bit but the skin regains its moisture quite quickly and then it feels so much
