the pharaoh's is watson if the t c and the doors is here, they all look rather strange. i cannot and also revolutionize the us of portraiture. the distinctive elongation has the off of portraiture. the distinctive elongated hits not owed to any illness, as was previously for that reflects the new amana style. i cannot and broke radically with the past. he suppressed old coats, abolished the priesthood of our own, and made plenty of enemies as a result. when the pharaoh died, after 20, you rang his portraits will no longer want as many who destroyed my front this i'm in the cloud and then front this people did not believe on what this ma'am had initiated attacking any. so they actively want to, to a percent boost. you can use it tied or putting you on the psychiatrists as deliberately destroyed many images and relieves of pharaoh. i cannot miss it. often

just often the spouse is not going to do that. they will probably only given the order to destroy any visible traces as the cyro often leaving the capital hot. hello, i'm on the goose type of in the field. a tired to do at best. you might, you from the some possible to meet you have that way. he disappeared from the historiography of which ones and for the 1st week the only female pharaoh did not fit any bedroom. a although have shipped suit was awesome to trade with the ceremonial bid, like a male p is a woman pharaoh was too much to handle the contemporaries they were raised to image . this scandalous woman was not to be remembered. the hardships which teacher was supposed to mislead disgraced guilty by association. his inscription was partially

scratched off the. do you raise your memory with it for religious or political reasons is so common in history that there is even a specific time for them not sure, memorial, censoring the memory of disagreeable pre dismissive, this practice was especially coming in the roman empire, this pedal painting to fix and for us up to meals, zadvydas and his family. the missing face is that if his son gates who was murdered by his own brother, who then had to meet you, raised tons of to of its own, my images of certain personalities that will destroy you just kind of both start to use an industry. she's not the same, for example, that you would done in such a way that i can see that something that has been race data set itself all. it was virtually forbidden to talk about. but everyone could see that i did this on the so it was a warning at the same time as of the fact that someone was not only made to be

forgotten in a sense that the sick guessing itself is what was remember. the conundrum. if posterity still remembers the ratio of a person after a long time with a really forgotten or are they remember even more so the angle raced with paintings, it's usually clear who was a raised and why, but that's not the case with sculptures. how do we know, was it the boss to this prussian rule was deliberately wacked in the nose, or if it's simply fell off in museums, sculptures used to be given a new nose and those jobs so to speak. nowadays, they prefer to show the missing pieces on the face and to try to find explanations this thing. so visa is also missing. it's now is, and research is

a still trying to work out why. the creations of the caution series asterix apparently found the nose mystery. so intriguing that they decided to have the account accidentally break it off with the subtle message. don't have your nose in the, the jugs aside. this was a serious us or an agent way, a timeframe with a start. she was treated like a personal assault either. i'm from this doctor. every stopped you was a kind of substitute both of you for the, you know, and which was either placed in the temple or in the, to reduce an through ritual known as the opening of the mouth, the statue as ground to the kind of vitality that we're not leaving space kind of

to critical or advanced when it's nose was broken off at the start. she was deprived of its ability to breathe tight. hold and yeah, i'm so this would prevent the person that the statue symbolized from living in the tennessee said, these are taught us could be taught. there's a peasant, into each carts. the, even though greek statues were not flesh was spirited, many of them are also missing faces. and it's both and the most important part of the head. it's evident that there has been a lot of modification, lice, antique features and imagery, a pagan gods, did not fit in with the romance of christianity. but heads were not the only things that rolled naked men will not welcome in christianity item. then more delicate

pots were initially chiseled off, later replaced by this famous c please. then my gets fucked. lies does. if you compare what happened in antiquity with what the taliban and the so called a stomach stage of down to capacity, we don't have any images from the greek and roman antiquities that clearly show these pieces being desecrated. often like the top thing, it's not trice, for example, marsh is will i know stopped when should i stop the windshield site? it was done, but how does it was transcribed into literature these up? but it wasn't done until publish hospitals at stoughton and good notes of a kind of william chicago hit to the room and then pro would never have promoted himself for someone who would talk to the statue of his previous household on 40. now, the 1st night to dispute have a religious autobiography occurred during the by 17 and pop were images of jesus

mary and the saints aloud. and could they also be worshiped? many followers of the orthodox catholics, i believe, to icons a powerful protect is the 8th century empress considered the blasphemous. the cross was the only thing that method to them and for a constantine, the 5th was also not corner classed. the persecution of people who worship icons and had those icons destroyed. the cultural struggle with split up again 802 years later a new iconoclasm swept through europe and churches during the reformation. the new christian doctrine spread by martin luther was strictly against so called idolatry. churches were looted as a result and thousands of paintings along with other mediaeval art with winter in flames. kind of as a nice thing kind of a very strict calvinist in particular, had a very strong desire to set the power in this way of these items by the other way.

and that was really strongly to take it off a couple of good ideas on some type of email. and i also had some may. sometimes they list the size of the crowd to participate, not which includes the gluten whole side. no one spends it was supposed to be sent that these iconic thousands of times how to fuel financial mode to be done because items could be sold for profit, or if they were made of gold or silver and meltdown. but many people regard at the church as well as a huge phone and this side, especially the so called indulgence trade with funding was, could secure the place in heaven with donations with a certain amount which of generation and loss of income for the catholic clergy and about the churches pump and towel was directed towards these practices, and it was difficult to control in some places. the great creature mazda knew to try to pass the front of follows. but his influence did not reach across the board, is iconoclasm raged in switzerland and later in england,

the religion is not the only thing that inside should feelings of hatred. politics did . 2 in 1789 joined the french revolution protest as man the barricades for liberty and other rights. once again, statues, with the head of this time those of absolution kings. but the fight for freedom turned into chaos and brutal violence. no, certainly against people, but against icons and not from the royal palaces. anything that represent the hatred to view aristocracy. a bid click one of the ship, a member of the national assembly, condemned or ex of extremism and vandalism. he asserted, the code for prophecy should be protected. how it goes to craig for a few coins,

something that still influences us today. namely the idea of cultural heritage as well as on the one should not be destroy any proceeding cultural monuments. you can probably, even if they are connected to french, king asked because they among human societies the whole thing and because they were crossed by frenchmen and truck soon, 5, the phone console shopping board by the even if they are connected with french king i salute. they are still monuments that represent cultural heritage. does i know what to do? and this idea that contemporary society can inherit something from an earlier culture, runs through the language of cultural, heard the research clue. what about the radical re thinking with an impact? since the hate convention of 1950 for cultural heritage, thoughts of being defined as something of global value that must be protected. there are now more than 1150 world cultural

a natural heritage sites listed by units go around alone. has a particularly high number of cultural heritage sites 24. no, charlie is not shared johan square and is behind one of the largest and most beautiful sites in the world. it's also a to us magnet. but these thoughts came on to political 5 and 2019. often a rainy in general was assess the nicest by the us military. then president donald trump threatened to a tech sites important for rainy and culture. in case of retaliation, i'm going to ship. i'm just confirming low statements, put them on the same level as the taliban. and i s in particular ones, which has been very destructive in recent years because it didn't exceed the own williams, this rhetoric that proves this method as an element of warfare. and that's why we want the destruction of cultural heritage recognized as a war crime, except just as good customer. and that means that the you,

question, especially the minis statutes of the socialist hero. then the f a g unveiled and what was then east building became a political issue after the 4th of all, people in berlin would no longer so king to have what they regarded to be an ideologically contaminated statute. but in 1991 to the request of some who had lived in a spell in the statue of land and started to be dismantled, it was broken off into a $125.00 paces, which within, buried outside in his film, goodbye lynn and director of both going back a resurrected the communist revolutionary and had him florence rebellion like some angel of utopian allusion. as it saying farewell to socialism, it placed the seal of finality on the fact that the best of world linen had fought so hard for had never come to be back to reality. often, much device in 2015 lennon or at least his head was assumed. the 3 and

a half ton had found a new resting place in japan, does citadel's museum optic torching initial flag from various authorities in west germans who dropped at the socialist auto state buried of california to chicago. and there was a list of some factors that argued against a new one. as some people worries that russia was no longer the soviet union of twins or which among the entire monuments they restored. others worried that backward looking for in the east germans would make it a pilgrimage, sided on, and that could blow off into a big problem, got to pull them out to sign con. meanwhile, sons is a switch of protected species, have taken up resident assigned remnants to add and so they have to be met to keep us being caught by hunting up. along with all the families before the pieces could be done. got to send pictures of uncle before that was because of that includes the, the, the old

heroes, defunct rules and dictates is, what is it there in latin america or in the arabic speaking world, they will receive the same treatment ripples in syria. tough with bush on a set spot that i'm pretty dismissal on his behalf. in the country side, a start to a process on that side is also destroyed to most of the oppression to move on in the retribution. regime changes have also been celebrations by toughly monuments to the, the killing of a black man by police brutality outrage, minions, and not just in the us site. the black clouds measuring movement targets of racism and its historical legacy. the statues of confederate generals and the slavery they defended the monuments had to go the the same site was installed for the

rediscover of america, christopher columbus, re styled as a hobbies of colonialism and target a piece of emotional debate. history may be reevaluated, but the treatment of nearly displaced monuments remains the same. size of mind the i left for healing. victory feels the dictates of lo, beginning for a suitable context to be created for these monuments and public spaces and not just for them to be left standing or destroy unit. as also when this can be researched on to test the test done, have been swept away and he's had it on the valid or i could understand such a wave of rage taking shape me personally. i feel bad in the pitch of my stomach whenever something like that is just to throw in to susan, it's the festa to the

nation about the monuments like this one to obviously it's on this month. so this transfer of the gentleman in finance. he presided over the infamous building conference, the late down regulations, the coughing of africa and the pacific into colonies. should he go the way of the confederate generals? no, said the artist, you wrote various includes. instead, the statesman else will say this, should dawn new cutlets. this summer, it took them 3 months of hard work to give the grand old white man a new paper mesh, a coach with many colors, the se. let's emphasis on the century. i see a project as a kind of mediation with a rethinking takes place in people's minds is a and we hope this temporary alteration will bring about such a rethinking throughout, well, quite a 20 minutes. you can say our project, monumental shadows is an intermediate stage, but it has to be since once we're gone for the monuments will still be standing,

there is always so it's not like we can pat ourselves on the back and say it was a job. well done. or in any case, something more has to happen to. so we're hoping for some discussion, at least, and because these are monuments to violence and thank me about their device. the art project has already led many views to see how this mach with new lines. he's kind of out of skin may not have exonerations him, but perhaps it's the mystified him. a little is playful approach to this some of the colonial era monuments to come in. other countries tends to rise some more basic questions and that's interested in the end just because of the material quantities of paper, monumental shadows raises. it could do monuments really have to be meant for a ton of she has missed. and if the not for a ton of to you, do we have to have this kind of thing, a total of us. how can we think along more temporary lines that they have the office becomes sapiens who can show the way out of the historical cycle of toppling monuments, one after another long. the stand also has to have to deal with whatever society or

government can't manage any other way. and that includes an autistic perspective among human successful raising on team, on human. so handling them some other way, some of maybe with holograms or something, whatever. so it could also be something really exciting, interesting on assigned to creating something temporary that can be exciting to remind me of the firm. conviction that in a democracy it can be really wonderful to have so many different possibilities to more possibilities. the heart of the choice, the debate over the monument to freedom in unity for jim and his reunification reached for nearly 15 years. do we need the monument to hold it? so with the result was this gigantic seesaw. helium, that would wonder if we're getting along quite well without this monument. i think some day, many people will say we could have done just as well without it. doesn't the cuban distola stomach, you have a permanent designation of a spot that you attribute some event to. we live on the farm. the farm that

recognition takes has softened a bit. it's no longer as figurative or marshall informed when and given our digital li dominated lives, it would be nice to have some kind of supplemental digital imagery that couldn't turn be changed some day. but the monument, it goes with that, and that marks the spot would remain unchanged. desk even in by me young, not every one is willing to consign the empty space left by the buddhist statues to oblivion. but any attempt to restore them would cost millions of euro's money just for the nation by the many staffing atkins to states for the restoration of cultural heritage wants destroyed digital 3 d printed solutions. the possibility to put these by copies says not kiana just wants to out of me, hopes the telephone will keep that promise and protect what remains of the board is . they are saying that they're protecting that the nobody knows because anything

that can change their mind then they do something they, they're starting because now they are new and then they don't know how to do it. but you don't know what's happening in future. will the taliban for the cultural heritage months? so let me isn't the only one with doubts. this next the work of conservative april essential the faith and i've got as an additional, a nation is still alive and the sculptures of life. so if you don't have culture or not, or nothing. so if you see it worldwide, this is the same. your, nothing, this as our file. so you should know what so costs and what so tell us how us so culture. it's part of our identity. it's international identity, the
