Character Creation

 

Weather Wizard (Mark Mardon) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

 

Weather Wizard made his first live-action appearance in the television specials Legends of the Superheroes (1979), played by Jeff Altman. The character later appeared in the television series The Flash, portrayed by Liam McIntyre. Additionally, his brother Clyde Mardon appeared in the 2014 pilot episode of The Flash, portrayed by Chad Rook.

 

Publication history

 

Created by John Broome and Carmine Infantino, the character made his first appearance in The Flash #110 (December 1959). He was significantly rebooted by Geoff Johns, and later by Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul.

 

Origin

 

One of the sons of a South American drug empire, Marco Mardon was disinterested in helping his brother Claudio run the cartel that had been left to them. Instead, he traveled to Central City and got involved in petty crime there, eventually falling in with the Rogues. When his brother was murdered and the Rogues fell apart after their attempt to gain powers went awry, he unwillingly returned home to manage the drug empire. Discovering that his brother's widow was responsible for his death, he tried to kill himself and her, but succeeded only in killing his sister-in-law. Despondent, he agreed to join Glider's new Rogues.

 

Character Evolution

 

Silver Age

 

Mark Mardon was introduced in the Silver Age. In his early appearances he was described as having stumbled upon the weather wand, which was in the possession of his brother, who had died of a heart attack. This version of the character was American, and had no inherent metahuman abilities.

 

Modern Age

 

In the Modern Age, it was retconned that Mark had broken out of prison and gone to his brother's lab. When his brother tried to call the police, Mark killed him and stole his weather wand. Towards the end of the Modern Age it was also revealed that he had inherent metahuman abilities.

 

New 52

 

The New 52 introduced his current origin, and made him no longer responsible for his brother's death. It is unclear how he acquired the weather wand, and he did not have inherent metahuman abilities before having his DNA recoded.

 

Major Story Arcs

 

Underworld Unleashed

 

Mark and four other Rogues are approached by Abra Kadabra, who offers them the chance to become infamous villains. He sells his soul to Neron, but is double-crossed and apparently killed to facilitate Neron's arrival on Earth. His body becomes a powerful killing machine. He is ultimately restored when Neron is defeated.

 

Birth Right

 

Weather Wizard learns he has a son from a one night stand with Julie Jackam, and that the boy, Josh, is displaying weather controlling abilities. He spends time in conflict with Wally West, who believes that Josh is his son. He is defeated by West as he is unable to bring himself to hurt Josh.

 

Crossfire

 

Weather Wizard is invited by Blacksmith to join her new Rogues in taking over Central and Keystone Cities. He uses his powers to devastate the cities by setting fires throughout. When the team is defeated, he and the other original Rogues manage to escape with the assistance of Captain Cold.

 

Rogue War

 

During the Rogue War, Weather Wizard sides with the unreformed Rogues in their fight against the reformed Rogues. He fights Magenta but is prevented from killing her by the original Trickster. He escapes the fighting with the rest of the Rogues while Flash is distracted.

 

Full Throttle

 

Weather Wizard and the other Rogues are invited by Inertia to take part in a plot to freeze time and rob the frozen world. Inertia reveals to him that he actually has inherent metahuman abilities and breaks his wand, helping him break his mental blocks and use his powers without it. Inertia's machine actually steals the Flash's powers, and when Flash tries to regain his powers Weather Wizard is one of the Rogues who fire on him, accidentally killing him.

 

Salvation Run

 

Weather Wizard and the Rogues are the first villains who are transported to the prison planet Salvation. When other villains start arriving he sides with Team Lex. He fights against the Parademons when they attack, and escapes the planet through Lex Luthor's teleporter.

 

Final Crisis

 

Like the other Rogues, Weather Wizard rejects Libra's offer of membership Secret Society. When the Rogues are attacked by the knockoff New Rogues he easily kills his counterpart, Weather Witch and rescues Trickster from Mr Magic. He goes with the Rogues to seek revenge on Inertia. Confronting the speedster, they are met by Libra, who has taken Josh hostage in order to force the team to join with him. He claims he does not care whether the child lives or dies, but his resolve cannot be tested, as Inertia breaks the standoff by killing the child. Weather Wizard joins the team in executing Inertia.

 

Blackest Night

 

During the Blackest Night, Weather Wizard joins the other living Rogues in traveling to Iron Heights, where the dead Rogues are attacking. He fights the reanimated Top.

 

Gorilla Warfare

 

Weather Wizard joins the Rogues in an elaborate train heist that is interrupted by the sudden arrival of Gorilla Grodd's invasion force. He joins the team in fighting the gorillas and rescuing their hostages.

 

Forever Evil

 

Weather Wizard is invited along with the other Rogues to join the Crime Syndicate's new Secret Society, but like the Rogues he refuses. When they are attacked by Deathstorm and Power Ring he flees with a majority of the team, first to Metropolis, then to Gotham. There, he is sought by Poison Ivy, who believes he can help save her plants, and by Mr Freeze, who hopes to use his powers to create a frozen wasteland in Gotham. He is saved by the Rogues, but captured by the Royal Flush Gang.

 

He uses his powers to crash the van they are being transported in and angrily parts way with the other Rogues, who are planning to turn themselves in to save Glider. He returns sometime later during their fight with Johnny Quick and Atomica, saving Trickster and Mirror Master. During the fight with the Syndicate's forces he uses his powers to push their enemies into a huge mirror, which is then shattered.

 

Powers and Abilities

 

Weather Wizard possesses the ability to control and manipulate the weather as he wishes. He can generate and control any natural weather phenomenon, and is also capable of manipulating Earth's magnetic field. However, his powers are inextricably tied to his moods; that is, any weather he creates reflects back into his emotions. If he causes rain, he becomes depressed; creating a storm makes him angry and violent. This is due to having his DNA fused with his wand in the genome recoder.

 

Weapons and Equipment

 

Though he no longer requires it to manipulate the weather, he is frequently seen to carry his weather wand. Usually depicted as a glowing blue staff, it may be used by him to focus his powers, or may simply be comforting to carry. The staff can be used for any of the purposes that his inherent abilities now replicate.

1: Are you ready for this survey to be over?: Yush. I've had to pee. xD

I tag everyone who hasn't done this!!

Left to right:

-Shazam

-Green Lantern (Simon Baz)

-Superman (new 52)

-Batman (Jim Gordon)

-Flash (Wally West)

-Cyborg

-Firestorm

 

Cheated with supermam, shazam and firestorms faces but other than that these are all my customs. I'll probably make more photos like this because I love group shots.

 

Justice leaguers I currently want to make include: the atom, plasticman, superman(lex luthor), wonder woman, hawkgirl and aquaman.

 

Can't say when they will come if (they will) but I want to promise that the next I will make is lex luthor superman. I have already started on him.

 

How do they look together and who is your favourite/s?

Well that premiere was kind of a bummer. One episode! Just one episode and they glazed over the entire Flashpoint Arc.... Cool. ...Not like that would have been neat to see or anything.... I guess Dr Alchemy is more of a threat(?)

I mean it was pretty exciting to see Wally in action, even if it was only twice. Also Dr Clariss is just some guy that Wally has a beef with? Maybe they'll elaborate on it in the future, but still... that character has a history that they've just kind of ignored.

I mean Flashpoint was set up to reboot the DC Comics continuity and bring us into the New 52. All this episode really did was neatly wrap up a cliff-hanger using a skeleton of that story's idea, starting us in a new season. Kind of a cop-out in my opinion. I feel like the premise with the next few episodes will be “what's different” and how it's weird everything is now.... like they did last season with Earth 2.... huh... okay...

 

Also, most of the drama from this premiere stemmed from the Iris-Barry romance, and I don't think that was a very smart idea. I mean come on, season two started with Flash Day, and by Ep 3 Jay showed up (Even though it wasn't Jay, which I'm still not too happy with)! It could have been more focused on his family, or even Barry's adjustment to his new environment. All I'm saying is that the source material is great for a reason, and it stinks to have it ignored for mostly Barry and Iris.

 

It's so hard to judge this biased on the fact that this was all in one episode! I would have guessed the first episode would have been Barry learning from Eobard about the Flashpoint, or maybe even some stronger connections to the other shows in the CWDCU....

I don't know man, it's not a strong start, but I suppose we'll have to wait and see where this goes because I'm not as hyped as I was for S3. It's got some great potential I guess but man, this kinnda stinks... S1 was fantastic, S2 was alright, and hopefully S3 won't be bad.

  

But you know who I really want to see? Abra Kadabra! I mean with all this time travel nonsense he's bound to show up eventually! :P

Updated my Wally West figure once again! And this time he has a custom made cowl and hair piece!!! The Decals I've been placing on his head, kept on pealing off so I decided to make a physical cowl piece from the Lego Flash cowl piece. And I only ended up wrecking on spiky hair piece making the pair too! What do you guys think? It's not perfect so I might make a better ver sometime in the future, but I'm pretty satisfied on how it turned out!

So I made some more speedsters! :P

 

I put a bit of effort into updating my past Flash-esq designs with some updated parts and construction. They're actually pretty solid overall! Be sure to check out the Patreon page if you want to see how they both came together ;)

Some figures that I have saved up over time for one big dump. So ye.

 

Cheetah - I don't like fully naked Cheetah like in the JL animated series. I'm more partial to the version where she wears rags and whatnot, like Injustice.

 

The Flash (Wally West) - There was some concept art from Brett Booth a few years ago of a half black Wally West costume and I love it! They haven't ever used it, but I had left over Spidey arms I drew on that looked good for it too. For the eyes I cut out a piece of paper and put them over the head while putting the helmet on.

 

Atom - Pretty simple, mostly Captain America repurposed.

 

The Grid - this is the one I'm very proud of. I put much time and blood into this. Literal blood. While extracting Cyborgs hair piece on a spare helmet I slipped and cut my thumb, a few times.

 

Steve Trevor - mostly his look from the New 52. An armored up agent.

Figured I'd aim for a more ethnically accurate Cisco. Certainly not the best, but the best I can do with the bricks I have right now. Suggestions for skin tone, new heads, hair, torsos, pants, etc, are greatly appreciated. :)

  

EDIT: In other news, I have a ton of plans for some new uploads, in the near future, including, but not limited to:

 

The Fantastic Four

A modded Aquaman

A modded Iron Fist

A modded Captain Cold

A new/modded Flash (Based on the Post Crisis Wally West)

Jason Woodrue and the Floronic Man*

Update to Heatwave

Ice

Upgrades to Cisco

Enchantress (DC)

New 52 based Caitlyn Snow Killer Frost

Wildcat

EDIT: Also in the pipeline is Egghead.

Silver Banshee

A very special version of Deadpool

MCU Eric Selvig

Update to The Black Knight from Scooby Doo

More Scooby Doo villains, and heroes

Hellboy

Arnold Toht (The Nazi bad guy from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark who wears Harry Potter style glasses)

A brand new sig-fig

A surprise figure . . .

And more!

 

The problem is that I have the ideas bouncing around in my head, but I don't have the bricks for them. :(

 

Thus, I can't give any indication as to when they'll become reality, with the exception of my new Flash, which I can basically guarantee will be finished by tomorrow. The picture(s) will be up either tomorrow or the day after. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TL;DR - Here's Cisco and some plans for future figures. The only thing that looks like it will be made at anytime soon is my new Flash.

 

*Yes, I'm doing Jason Woodrue and the Floronic Man seperately. So sue me. :P

COMMENT IF YOU FAVE

 

I am posting Kid-Flash before flash because I prefer this figure.

 

The entire figure was inspired by the silver suit from the new 52 which I really like and wish was used more cause I prefer it to the yellow and red one.

 

The legs were painted with gun-metal and metallic red paint and the kneepads are cut up bits from a rod piece then cut in half.

The torso has a design similar to the new 52 suit as well as the cw suit. All painted with regular silver paint and metallic red paint. The emblem is 3D.

 

The arms have some metallic red detail.

 

The head is fully painted and The bit resembling the bottom half of the cowl is outlined, I used metallic red for the lenses.

 

The cowl is fully made by Brickophilia and he made it for me when I was still making CW figures. It was painted gunmetal and the lightning bolts on the side of the helmet are painted in metallic red.

 

Sorry for the long description but I wanted to explain this one.

Fisrt of all, apologies for the recent inactivity, I haven't had a lot of characters made and was stalling to upload them, also I've been busy with school, but I'll get more stuff done this week. Now, I've wanted to make this version of Reverse Flash for a while, I was worried about how he would turn out, but I love the end result.

Please give credit if you use this.

Feel free to give me your requests :D

At His Peak

After his release from the Neulengbach prison (Lower Austria), Schiele relocated to the studie of his friend Erwin Dom Osen in Vienna. That same summer of 1912, he traveled with Wally to Carinthia and Trieste, as well as to Lake Constance and Munich, where he discovered the work of German Expressionists.

In November Schiele rented a studio at Hietzinger Hauptstraße (Main Road) 101 in Vienna's Thirteenth District, which he kept until his death. Through Gustav Klimt, Schiele was introduced to the industrialist and collector August Lederer. Erich, the Lederers' adolescent son, invited Schiele to spend Christmas and New Year's at the family home in Györ, Hungary. Thanks to the patronage of the Lederer Family and of the collector Franz Hauer, Egon Schiele's financial situation improved.

Early in 1913, Schiele was admitted to the "Association of Austrian Artists" and participated in its exhibition in Budapest. He also presented a large number of works in prominent shows in Munich, Berlin and Düsseldorf in that year. The "International Black and White Exhibition" and the 43rd Exhibition of the Secession in Vienna included works by the artist.

 

Am Zenit. Nach seiner Entlassung aus dem Neulengbacher Bezirksgefängnis übersiedelt Schiele nach Wien ins Atelier seines Freundes Erwin Dom Osen. Noch im selben Sommer reist er mit Wally nach Kärnten und Triest sowie an den Bodensee und nach München, wo er Werke des deutschen Expressionismus kennenlernt. Im November mietet Schiele ein Atelier in der Hietzinger Hauptstraße 101 im XIII. Wiener Gemeindebezirk, das er bis zu seinem Tode behalten wird. Gustav Klimt vermittelt ihm den Kontakt zu dem wichtigen Sammler und Industriellen August Lederer. Erich Lederer, der damals 16-jährige Sohn der Familie, lädt Schiele auf den Familiensitz im ungarischen Györ ein, wo der Künstler Weihnachten und Neujahr verbringt. Durch den Sammler Franz Hauer und die Familie Lederer bessern sich Schieles finanzielle Verhältnisse.

Anfang 1913 wird Schiele in den "Bund österreichischer Künstler" aufgenommen und beteiligt sich an dessen Budapester Ausstellung. Auch in München, Berlin und Düsseldorf sind in prominenten Ausstellungen zahlreiche seiner Werke zu sehen. In Wien nimmt er an der "Internationalen Schwarz-Weiß-Ausstellung und der 43. Ausstellung der Secession teil.

"It is my will that ​​the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".

This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.

It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.

The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.

In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.

The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values ​​found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:

After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".

Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905

This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.

The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Image: The palace after the demolition of the entrance facade, 1948-52

Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values ​​of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.

Image: The palace after the Second World War with simplified facades, the rudiment of the Danubiusbrunnens (well) and the new staircase up to the Augustinerbastei

This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.

Image: The restored suburb facade of the Palais Albertina suburb

The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

The KOM League

Flash Report

August 3, 2021

 

After hours and hours of contemplating attempting to write another report the result is available at: www.flickr.com/photos/60428361@N07/51355466713 Try to read it. If it isn’t possible return the unused/unread portion for a complete refund.

 

It has been nearly two months since an attempt has been made to formulate, let alone transmit a Flash Report. A lot of time has been afforded the old batboy to sit and look at his I-pad and work the Intermet looking for clues of former KOM league who were; found, never located and deceased. That is basis for this effort.

 

Leading off is the first obituary that has ever been shared in Spanish. The reason its not in English is due to my lack of bilinguality. The deceased is Ernie Garcia who I saw play at the Carthage ballpark, in 1951. He was the shortstop for Ted Gullic’s Bartlesville Pirates. He formed a good doubleplay combination with the late E. C. Leslie of Kansas City, Missouri who spent his adult life coaching/teaching high school in Lubbock, Texas.

 

Following the Ernie Garcia obituary are tributes to Richard Pertzborn of the 1947 Independence Yankees , Ray Haley of that same franchise in 1948, Ernest Jordan Jr—1950 Ponca City Dodgers, Carroll Ethan Bryan and Edward Humphrey Hughes Jr.—1952 Blackwell Broncos, Merlin Leo Jorgensen—1951 Bartlesville Pirates and 1952 Pittsburg/Bartlesville Pirates, Robert Wesley James—1951 Pittsburg Browns and another shot of identifying a member of the 1950 Bartlesville Pirates who was either James Parker Williams or James Park Williams.

 

So, sit back and relax, This is going to be a very long report. Feel free to hit the delete key at anytime. However, before doing so you might consider saving it for future reading as there isn’t a promise of future reports. That is being said due to the fact that it isn’t possible to document there are more than 136 former KOM leaguers currently emitting carbon dioxide.

 

There are possibly another 25 former KOM leaguers still on this earthly plane but either the inability to locate them, on my part, or their ignoring letters, telephone calls and e-mails it is not possible to provide an exact count.

Ernesto “Natas” Garcia

Bartlesville Pirates 2nd baseman 1951—Passed away April 2, 2017

(Jack Morris, Baseball Necrologist provided this information)

El amigo Luis Alarcón, presidente del Concejo Municipal del Salón de la Fama del Deportista Nogalense, nos da la triste noticia del sentido deceso de Ernesto “Natas” García, un excelentísimo segunda base que también marcó época en la Liga de la Costa del Pacífico, la Mexicana de Béisbol, la Invernal Sonora y Sonora-Sinaloa y la Norte de Sonora.

 

Su fallecimiento, por causas naturales de su edad, ocurrió a las 23:15 horas del sábado en la ciudad de Tucson.

 

“Natas”, nació el 7 de noviembre de 1932 en Nogales y desde el pasado 26 de enero de 2016 forma parte del Recinto Sagrado de esa frontera.

 

En la Costa del Pacífico fue parte del equipo Naranjeros de Hermosillo que se adjudicaron el bicampeonato en 1955-56 y 56-57 tripulados por Hub Kittle.

 

En la campaña del 55-56, Hermosillo tuvo a Joe Brovia, Earl “Búfalo” Averill, Bob Bowman, Leo Rodríguez, Ventura Morales, Pepe Bache, Ernesto “Natas” García y Ray Garza.

El pitcheo lo encabezaron Don Nichols y Jimmy Ochoa con 13 y 11 victorias. Los otros lanzadores fueron Pete Meza, “Ciclón” Echeverría, Arnulfo Manzo y Librado Ceceña.

 

Esa temporada le ganaron el play off por el título a Navojoa. A la siguiente repetirían en el trono, también dirigidos por Hub Kittle y donde el “Natas” fue el gran segunda base estelar.

 

Cuando la campaña 54-55, al “Natas lo encontramos luciendo en la primera serie en el Estadio de “La Casa del Pueblo” en el siguiente line up: Ernesto “Natas” García (2b), Leo Rodríguez (3b), Claudio Solano (lf), Joe Brovia (rf), Leon Kellman (ca), Dick Hogan (cf), Raymundo Garza (1b), Rubén Amaro (ss) y el pítcher Mel Queen.

 

Sin duda, otro notable equipo de esa época.

 

En 1956 fue parte de los campeones Diablos Rojos del México haciendo mancuerna con el “Chero” Mayers y estableciendo marcas en doble plays; también en 1961 ayudó al Águila de Veracruz a obtener el gallardete.

 

Sus estadísticas

 

En la Liga Mexicana de Béisbol logró los siguientes números después de 14 años de actividad donde concluyó con .278 de porcentaje de bateo.

 

Vio acción en 1,260 juegos, anotó 726 carreras, pegó 1,298 hits, 70 jonrones y produjo 485 carreras. Se estafó las bases en 36 ocasiones.

 

Se retiró en 1970.

En la Liga Invernal de Sonora y Sonora Sinaloa:

En cuatro años bateó .270, jugó 224 partidos, anotó 90 veces, pegó 230 hits, 9 jonrones e impulsó 94 carreras. Tuvo once estafas.

 

Su última temporada en el béisbol invernal fue en 1966. Descanse en paz. Nuestras condolencias a su señora esposa Alejandrina García, sus hijas Mayra y Diana Duarte, así como sus seis nietos.

 

Sólo once en MLB

 

Qué cosa: de los once peloteros mexicanos en la Gran Carpa, 10 son lanzadores!

Únicamente el “Titán” figura en un line up ligamayorista, ya sabe usted, como todo un estelar de los Dodgers de Los Ángeles.

 

La lista de pitchers, la compone: Jorge de la Rosa (Dbacks); Marco Estrada y Roberto Osuna (Toronto); Yovani Gallardo (Seattle); Óliver Pérez y Fernando Salas (Mets); Sergio Romo (Dodgers); Jaime García (Bravos); Joakim Soria (KC), y Miguel González (White Sox).

 

Tendré que volverme a poner los arreos y ponerme en forma para buscar una oportunidad en la Gran Carpa y acompañar a Adrián.

 

Claro, hay paisanos con probabilidad de ascender: Sebastián Elizalde (Rojos); Daniel Castro, de nuevo (Rockies); Xorge Carrillo (Mets); Christian Villanueva (Padres), y Alí Solís (Dodgers)).

Y como pitchers, Cesar Vargas (Padres), Luis Cessa y Giovanny Gallegos (NYY); Rafael Martín (Mets) y Julio Urías y Manny Bañuelos (Dodgers).

 

Ed comment:

 

It is possible to go through each paragraph of Garcia’s obituary and figure out how long he played, some of his statistics and some of the better known names of guys with whom he played. I believe he was also a scout and it appears that he signed a young man by the name of Gallegos, for the Yankees, who is now the property of the St. Louis Cardinals and threw an inning of relief as late as August 1, 2021.

Ed comment

 

Ray Haley attended many KOM league events and even made a trip to my baseball dungeon to take a look at something he helped purchase for the Don Davis family at the close of the 1948 season. The item was a brass horse with a detachable saddle. The price of the steed was around $100 and also chipping in to purchase it were; Al Pilarcik, Jim Finigan, Billy Bagwell, Nick Ananias, Jim Davis and Charley Joe Fontana.

 

That horse came to graze in the KOM League Hall of Fame pasture in the 1990’s and if memory serves correctly it has been shared in story and image in previous reports. It must be said that over all those 73 years the animal looks as good as the day it was presented to the Davis family for their kindness and friendship to the Independence players. The horse made it way to Reno, Nevada, from Independence after the eldest of the Davis family passed away. The daughter went to Independence, from Reno, to settle the estate. After arriving in Reno she decided it needed to be around the KOM crowd and it has been given good care for going a a quarter century. Incidentally, it is looking over my shoulder as this is being written.

Ed comment:

 

In 1995 my job landed me in Des Moines, Iowa where I worked on a proposal writing team to elicit bids, from private companies, to process Medicaid claims. During my spare time contact was made with former KOM leaguers living in the Des Moines and surrounding area. Through that process a number of guys, filling that bill, were located and a number of meals were eaten in restaurants and even in their homes.

 

Richard Pertzborn was one of the fellows I broke bread bread with both in his home and restaurants. The most memorable event was visiting his home in Ankeny and sitting on the patio. From there was the greatest spectacle I had ever witnessed. There were more hummingbird feeders in his backyard than I had ever seen in my life. I marveled at the number of birds at the feeder and the effort and money it took to feed them. Being a busy executive with Northwest Mutual Life Insurance, Pertzborn gave all the credit to his wife for caring for the sugar drinkers.

 

After leaving Iowa, in late summer of 1995, there was contact with the deceased for many years through the newsletter. With the onset of his Alzheimer's that all came to an end.

Ed comment:

 

Several issues ago this forum mentioned the difficulty in locating Mr. Hughes. A great deal was known about him as both his mother and father were pastors in the Church of God denomination. They moved around quite a bit, as pastors are destined to do. Their service to the church saw them pastor mostly in Tennessee, Missouri and Illinois. Although a lot of effort was expended in searching for Edward Humphrey Hughes Jr. while he was alive it took an obituary to identify what became of him after baseball. If, in the afterlife, it is permissible to talk about baseball some time will be set aside to ask questions of “The Big Guy” and if Flash Reports are allowed, this story can be embellished and shared. (Be sure to send a forwarding address)

Ernest Jordan Jr. 1950 Ponca City Dodgers

 

www.laureloaksfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Ernest-Jordan?ob...

 

Mr. Ernest Jordan passed away Monday night, November 30, 2020 in Allen, Texas. He was born November 4, 1930 and just celebrated his 90th birthday. His parents were Ernest and Daisy Jordan. He leaves behind his dear wife, Wanda Jordan, devoted son, Al Jordan, and a number of other family and friends.

 

There will be a graveside service at 1 p.m. at Laurel Oaks Memorial Park with Rev. Ted Kiser officiating. Mr. Jordan will be laid to rest in the Garden of Hope near his son, James Ernest Jordan, who preceded him in death last year

 

This guy pitched for Ponca City in 1950. He won the final game of the 1950 championship and catcher, Don Keeter, kept the baseball that he gave me 45 years later.

 

I have tracked Jordan for over 25 years but could never make contact. I knew he was from San Mateo, California and suspected he was living in Texas.

 

To the best of my knowledge neither Jordan or his father had a middle name.

Ed comment: This is another guy I knew about but couldn't trace. He pitched in the second game of a doubleheader on July 1, 1951, the night the Carthage Cubs went off and left me at the Pittsburg ball park. James was a little guy and made his first mound appearances that night and held Carthage in check for one inning, the 9th. Lloyd “Pat” Gosney started that game for Pittsburg and hurled eight inning in hot, muggy weather. He struck out 13 Carthage batsmen and walked 12. He most likely threw more pitches that night than current major league starters are allowed to throw in two or three games.

 

James later played in the Yankee chain for the McAlester Rockets and Joplin Miners. I was aware he had moved to Texas and was living in Plano at one time. With his funeral being at Marble Falls, Plano might well have been where he died. The Corning, Ark. newspaper was not explicit on the place of death.

Carroll Ethan Bryan

 

In order to get an idea about who Mr. Bryan was the reader is going to have to click on some URL’s. Believe me, it isn’t that difficult. That is not has taxing as it has been searching for a fellow who showed up at Blackwell, Oklahoma just long enough to don a uniform and give it back in a couple of days.

 

For a number of years it was speculated the Bryan who showed up at Blackwell in 1952 was a Edwin Charles Bryan Jr. , from Belleville, Illinois with a rather extensive minor league career. However, following more detailed research it couldn’t have been him for he went into the Army in February of of that year.

 

Thanks to this site www.findagrave.com/memorial/26604258/carroll-ethan-bryan a better understanding developed regarding this short term Blackwell Bronco hurler who appeared in only one game.

 

As the link to his mortality indicates, he was born in 1927 and by the time he showed up for a shot at the KOM leaguer he was nearly 25 years of age. He had already served during WW II and with the younger men being drafted he obviously decided to try his hand in baseball. He was living in a rural area outside Wister, Oklahoma. Sixty five miles to the west is the town of McAlester which had a team called the Rockets that played in the Sooner State league. He signed with the Rockets on April 12, 1951 and he was released June 7 of that same year. However, in August he was re-singed for 1952 and after a couple of days in spring drills with the Rockets he was released and he made the 205 mile trek North to Blackwell where he fared no better. digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/11908/...

 

Bryan passed away May 11, 1994 in Poteau, Oklahoma and was buried at the Maxey Cemetery in his hometown of Wister. Not many people outside the Le Flore County town ever knew of Bryan’s love of baseball and most likely he never imagined someone would be writing about his “brush” with the bush leagues 69 years after he gave up his dream of “making it big.”

 

Had Bryan played longer there would most likely be information on him such as height and weight. He was 5’ 11” and weighed 145 pounds when entering the Army in 1945. Most likely he was in the 170 category by the time he tried his hand at professional baseball.

A long standing puzzle

 

For over a decade the name of James Williams has been bandied back and forth with baseball necrologist, Jack Morris. It could never be ascertained if James Parker Williams shown on the Sporting News Index Card was the same person who died as James Parks Williams in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

 

In recent communication Morris said his group couldn’t verify it was the same person unless they saw a reference to him in a newspaper.

 

digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll3/id/162958... James Parker Williams

 

My case is that I saw his name in the Bartlesville Examiner from some time in April of 1950. He was listed as being a native of McRae, Arkansas. That fits with the town listed in his obituary.

 

www.findagrave.com/memorial/148343743/jimmie-parks-williams James Parks Williams.

 

With that issue still dangling in mid-air a decision was made to review the obituary and make an attempt to locate a surviving member of his family. His son was chosen and the attempt to locate him wound up finding that he also passed away in recent years. Thus, it may be like speaking with Mr. Hughes, mentioned in the previous story, it will have to wait until we all pass through the pearly gates to find out who the real Jimmy Williams, was.

Do the editor of this Flash Report a favor or two.

 

In late 1948 my mother received a telephone call from a former friend who was moving back to Carthage, Missouri from Madill, Oklahoma. The caller said she had a son about my age and he didn’t know anyone and wondered if my mother would either send me to her house or if her son could come and play baseball at mine. Since we had the largest yard the young man and his mother came for a visit.

 

Over the coming months and years the young man from Madill became my close friend. Between us was one bicycle. We lived a mile apart and when he had the urge to play baseball he would dial 3808 and ask me to get on “Betsy” (my bicycle) and peddle toward his house where he would meet me and he would be the designated peddler to my house for he was the bigger one us. By the way when I called my friend it was 3676. Some things never leave your memory.

 

After the baseball games concluded, back down Valley Street I went as my new friend peddled toward his home on Orchard Street. This routine lasted for a couple of years. When spring training rolled around my friend would peddle “Betsy,” with me on the back and a couple of mile journey would ensue to one of three spring training sites of the Carthage Cubs, Topeka Owls, Janesville Cubs and Sioux Falls, Canaries. The primary reasons for the spring training jaunts were to collect the broken bats and “find” a few stray baseballs for the upcoming summer’s games played in my back yard.

 

Baseball was the summer activity, football in the fall and basketball whenever. My friend was on the opposing football team on Thanksgiving Day, 1951. As the quarterback on my two-man team made a fateful decision to dive for a loose ball and received a severely broken left arm. That most likely prevented my making it to the big leagues. Football was out of the question and my friend improvised when it came to basketball. He was the most gifted among us and he’d take the rim from a can of coffee, make a net out of an orange sack and place it on a stud in a little shed on the property of the second house in lived in after coming back to Carthage. The ball we used was of the tennis genre and we came across those at the tennis court across the street from the Carthage baseball stadium. My friend had that miniature basketball game down to a science and he skunked me every time.

 

Upon my becoming the batboy for the Carthage Cubs I talked my friend into showing up early so that he could be the batboy for the visiting team. As with everything else he was a step ahead of me. Standing by the Pittsburg dugout one evening he was admiring the timber of that club when manager, Bill Enos, strode our way. My friend was impressed by the bat that had the name “Enos” on it. He thought it was a model used by Enos Slaughter of the St. Louis Cardinals. Enos asked my buddy if he liked it and upon the affirmative he was handed it. Enos said “I can’t get any hits with it so you might as well have it.”

 

My buddy was a year older than me and that brought an eventual end of our many hours playing baseball and other games. What happened very shortly thereafter is that my friend discovered girls. He had to split his time between being with the guys and his newly found friend. At one time my friends oldest brother discovered my oldest sister and had it not been for the Korean War, and his brother serving in it, my buddy and I might have been “almost kin.”

 

During his latter years in high school my buddy moved “out west” to South Central Kansas. One day in high school my English teacher said that she had received a short story that won a national award. It was written by my friend. As she read the story, which was about sports, I kept awaiting to discover the mystery person he was leading up to for the finale. For some reason I thought it might say “Johnny Hall.” Of course, he didn’t. But, at that point I knew George Robert “Corky” Simpson was destined to be an outstanding writer. The attached URL will vindicate that as a high school junior my prognostication was on target.

Cousin of another friend comes home 70 years after end of Korean War.

 

A few editions ago there was a story shared about the remains being identified as a solder from WWII. That person was from Baxter Springs, Kansas and his brothers played for the Baxter Springs Whiz Kids before and during Mickey Mantle’s time there.

Late this spring another buddy from Carthage, (Gary W. Smith) sent me a note about his cousin who was killed in Korea and his remains were recently identified and returned for burial. I imagine the deceased had attended some KOM league prior to his entering the U. S. Army.

 

During my time as Carthage batboy I recall the consternation among some of the guys who knew what was on the horizon. It was a tough period for one Carthage pitcher who had been told he would finish the 1951 before being inducted. He left the team on July 20, 1951. Just one year, one month and one day later he was killed in North Korea. I have told this story a number of times but I never learned of the death of Walter Koehler until four decades later when the research on the KOM league began. Here is the link for Lloyd Alumbaugh.

Coming to the end

 

Once in a while a question is sent from a reader of this reports and even less often there is an answer tucked away in the dark recesses of my mind. Follow along.

 

From a Tulsa reader

 

Hello, John, I've been reading "The Pine Tar Game" by Filip Bondy. ttps://www.amazon.com/Pine-Tar-Game-Entertaining-Controversy/dp/1476777187/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3RL94A5822LGO&dchild=1&keywords=the+pine+tar+game&qid=1627862188&sprefix=The+Pine+Tar+game%2Caps%2C183&sr=8-2

 

On page 167, in talking about Lee MacPhail, the author writes:

 

“In 1946, he became general manager of the Yankees' Triple-A team in Kansas City, while his father was still the Yanks' top executive in New York. He remembered being at a Blanton, Missouri, tryout camp where some teenager named Mickey Mantle showed up with his father, Mutt.”

 

I tried to find Blanton, Missouri, but with no luck. No reference could be found. Just curious where it was. You ever hear of it? Thanks.

 

Ed reply:

 

There is no such town. My guess he was talking about Branson. Make sense? Mantle never went to a tryout camp in Branson. He went there for about a week after being signed by the Yankees in 1949. He came to Independence for a couple of days and left with the team for Chanute, Kansas for a June 12th game that was rained out.

 

Then he was back to Branson in 1950 (for spring training) and came out as a member of the Joplin Miners.

 

Ed comment:

 

That brings up one more thing. A couple of weeks ago Jimmy Richardson, one of Mickey Mantle’s first cousins, on the maternal side, called regarding purchasing a few more of the “Mickey Mantle Before the Glory” books. At that time he mentioned that his younger brother, Tom, had passed away in recent months. Tom is the guy mentioned in the Mantle book who attempted to ride the family cow out of the barn and it turned out to be quite an experience. For those who have that book, look up the story. For those who don’t there a “few” unread copies in my secret stash that are either going bald or turning gray.

The Postcard

 

A postcard that was published by F. E. Moyer of Montclair, New Jersey. It was printed by The Albertype Co. (Postcards of Quality), Brooklyn, New York.

 

The card was posted in NYC using a 2 cent stamp on Thursday the 4th. May 1922 to:

 

Miss Janet Mey,

Malvern House,

2, Spring Bank,

Bradford,

Yorkshire,

England.

 

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

 

"Ap. 61,

414 West 118th. St.

N.Y.

May 4th. 1922.

My Dear Janet,

Just to give you my new

address where Mrs. Grundy

& I live together most

comfortably.

Where I put the 'x' is the

little gate from which we

cross the road below to

our street, and we often

walk past the front of the

library (with the cupola

roof) to go to town or to

Riverside Drive on the bank

of the Hudson which flows

on your left as you look at

this card.

Upon the left you will see

the steps to Grant's Tomb

from where we get a

splendid view of the Hudson.

Mrs. G. & I crossed by ferry

boat/steamer on Saturday &

had a lovely car-ride and walk

into the New Jersey country.

I took some good snaps with

my Kodak.

Hope you got my last letter

some time ago & that I shall

soon hear something of you

though I mean to write to you

again soon too.

Love to you all as ever from

your school chum

Julie."

 

West 118th. Street is just out of shot on the right, and there is a barely discernible cross on the extreme right-hand edge of the card, just in front of St. Paul's Chapel.

 

Columbia University

 

Columbia University is a private Ivy League research university in New York City. Established in 1754 as King's College on the grounds of Trinity Church in Manhattan, Columbia is the oldest institution of higher education in New York, and the fifth-oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.

 

It is one of nine colonial colleges founded prior to the Declaration of Independence, seven of which belong to the Ivy League. Columbia is ranked among the top universities in the world.

 

Columbia was established by royal charter under George II of Great Britain. It was renamed Columbia College in 1784 following the American Revolution, and in 1787 was placed under a private board of trustees headed by former students Alexander Hamilton and John Jay.

 

In 1896, the campus was moved to its current location in Morningside Heights, and renamed Columbia University.

 

Columbia scientists and scholars have played a pivotal role in scientific breakthroughs including brain-computer interface; the laser and maser; nuclear magnetic resonance; the first nuclear pile; the first nuclear fission reaction in the Americas; the first evidence for plate tectonics and continental drift; and much of the initial research and planning for the Manhattan Project during World War II.

 

Columbia is organized into twenty schools, including four undergraduate schools and 16 graduate schools. The university's research efforts include the Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and accelerator laboratories with Big Tech firms such as Amazon and IBM.

 

Columbia is a founding member of the Association of American Universities, and was the first school in the United States to grant the MD degree. The university also annually administers the Pulitzer Prize.

 

With over 15 million volumes, Columbia University Library is the third-largest private research library in the United States.

 

The university's endowment stands at $13.3 billion in 2022, among the largest of any academic institution. As of December 2021, its alumni, faculty, and staff have included: seven Founding Fathers of the United States; four U.S. presidents; 33 foreign heads of state; two secretaries-general of the United Nations; ten justices of the United States Supreme Court, one of whom currently serves; 100 Nobel laureates; 125 National Academy of Sciences members; 53 living billionaires; 22 Olympic medalists; 33 Academy Award winners; and 125 Pulitzer Prize recipients.

 

History of Columbia University

 

The Colonial Period

 

Samuel Johnson, the first president of Columbia

Discussions regarding the founding of a college in the Province of New York began as early as 1704, at which time Colonel Lewis Morris wrote to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, the missionary arm of the Church of England, persuading the society that New York City was an ideal community in which to establish a college.

 

However, it was not until the founding of the College of New Jersey (re-named Princeton) across the Hudson River in New Jersey that the City of New York seriously considered founding a college.

 

In 1746, an act was passed by the general assembly of New York to raise funds for the foundation of a new college. In 1751, the assembly appointed a commission of ten New York residents, seven of whom were members of the Church of England, to direct the funds accrued by the state lottery towards the foundation of a college.

 

Classes were initially held in July 1754, and were presided over by the college's first president, Dr. Samuel Johnson. Dr. Johnson was the only instructor of the college's first class, which consisted of a mere eight students.

 

Instruction was held in a new schoolhouse adjoining Trinity Church, located on what is now lower Broadway in Manhattan. The college was officially founded on the 31st. October 1754, as King's College by royal charter of King George II, making it the oldest institution of higher learning in the State of New York, and the fifth oldest in the United States.

 

In 1763, Dr. Johnson was succeeded in the presidency by Myles Cooper, a graduate of The Queen's College, Oxford, and an ardent Tory. In the charged political climate of the American Revolution, his chief opponent in discussions at the college was an undergraduate of the class of 1777, Alexander Hamilton. 

 

The Irish anatomist, Samuel Clossy, was appointed professor of natural philosophy in October 1765, and later the college's first professor of anatomy in 1767.

 

The American Revolutionary War broke out in 1776, and was catastrophic for the operation of King's College, which suspended instruction for eight years beginning in 1776 with the arrival of the Continental Army.

 

The suspension continued through the military occupation of New York City by British troops until their departure in 1783. The college's library was looted, and its sole building requisitioned for use as a military hospital, first by American and then British forces.

 

Columbia University in the 18th. Century

 

After the Revolution, the college turned to the State of New York in order to restore its vitality, promising to make whatever changes to the school's charter the state might demand. The legislature agreed to assist the college, and on the 1st. May 1784, it passed an Act for granting certain privileges to the College, heretofore called King's College.

 

The Act created a board of regents to oversee the resuscitation of King's College, and, in an effort to demonstrate its support for the new Republic, the legislature stipulated that:

 

"The College within the City of New York

heretofore called King's College be forever

hereafter called and known by the name of

Columbia College."

 

This was a reference to Columbia, an alternative name for America which in turn came from the name of Christopher Columbus.

 

On the 21st. May 1787, William Samuel Johnson, the son of Dr. Samuel Johnson, was unanimously elected president of Columbia College. For a period in the 1790's, with New York City as the federal and state capital and the country under successive Federalist governments, a revived Columbia thrived under the auspices of Federalists such as Hamilton and Jay.  

 

19th. Century to Present

 

In November 1813, the college agreed to incorporate its medical school with The College of Physicians and Surgeons, a new school created by the Regents of New York, forming Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. 

 

The college's enrollment, structure, and academics stagnated for the majority of the 19th. century, with many of the college presidents doing little to change the way that the college functioned.

 

In 1857, the college moved from the King's College campus at Park Place to a primarily Gothic Revival campus on 49th. Street and Madison Avenue, where it remained for the next forty years.

 

During the last half of the 19th. century, under the leadership of President F.A.P. Barnard, the president that Barnard College is named after, the institution rapidly assumed the shape of a modern university.

 

Barnard College was created in 1889 as a response to the university's refusal to accept women. By this time, the college's investments in New York real estate became a primary source of steady income for the school, mainly owing to the city's expanding population. 

 

In 1896, university president Seth Low moved the campus from 49th. Street to its present location, a more spacious campus in the developing neighborhood of Morningside Heights. Under the leadership of Low's successor, Nicholas Murray Butler, who served for over four decades, Columbia rapidly became the nation's major institution for research, setting the "multiversity" model that later universities would adopt.

 

Research into the atom by faculty members John R. Dunning, I. I. Rabi, Enrico Fermi and Polykarp Kusch placed Columbia's physics department in the international spotlight in the 1940's after the first nuclear pile was built to start what became the Manhattan Project.

 

In 1928, Seth Low Junior College was established by Columbia University in order to mitigate the number of Jewish applicants to Columbia College. The college was closed in 1936 due to the adverse effects of the Great Depression and its students were subsequently taught at Morningside Heights, although they did not belong to any college but to the university at large.

 

There was an evening school called University Extension, which taught night classes, for a fee, to anyone willing to attend. In 1947, the program was reorganized as an undergraduate college and designated the School of General Studies in response to the return of GIs after World War II.

 

In 1995, the School of General Studies was again reorganized as a full-fledged liberal arts college for non-traditional students (those who have had an academic break of one year or more, or are pursuing dual-degrees) and was fully integrated into Columbia's traditional undergraduate curriculum.

 

In the aftermath of World War II, the discipline of international relations became a major scholarly focus for the university, and in response, the School of International and Public Affairs was founded in 1946, drawing upon the resources of the faculties of political science, economics, and history.

 

The Columbia University Bicentennial was celebrated in 1954.

 

During the 1960's Columbia experienced large-scale student activism, which reached a climax in the spring of 1968 when hundreds of students occupied buildings on campus. The incident forced the resignation of Columbia's president, Grayson Kirk, and the establishment of the University Senate.

 

Though several schools within the university had admitted women for years, Columbia College first admitted women in the fall of 1983, after a decade of failed negotiations with Barnard College, the all-female institution affiliated with the university, to merge the two schools. Barnard College still remains affiliated with Columbia, and all Barnard graduates are issued diplomas signed by the presidents of Columbia University and Barnard College.

 

During the late 20th. century, the university underwent significant academic, structural, and administrative changes as it developed into a major research university. For much of the 19th. century, the university consisted of separate faculties specializing in Political Science, Philosophy, and Pure Science.

 

In 1979, these faculties were merged into the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. In 1991, the faculties of Columbia College, the School of General Studies, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the School of the Arts, and the School of Professional Studies were merged into the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, leading to the academic integration and centralized governance of these schools.

 

Columbia University Campus

 

Morningside Heights

 

The majority of Columbia's graduate and undergraduate studies are conducted in Morningside Heights on Seth Low's late-19th. century vision of a university campus where all disciplines could be taught at one location.

 

The campus was designed along Beaux-Arts planning principles by the architects McKim, Mead & White. Columbia's main campus occupies more than six city blocks, or 32 acres (13 ha), in Morningside Heights.

 

The university owns over 7,800 apartments in Morningside Heights, housing faculty, graduate students, and staff. Almost two dozen undergraduate dormitories (purpose-built or converted) are located on campus or in Morningside Heights.

 

Columbia University has an extensive tunnel system, more than a century old, with the oldest portions predating the present campus. Some of these remain accessible to the public, while others have been cordoned off.

 

The Butler Library

 

The Nicholas Murray Butler Library, known simply as Butler Library, is the largest single library in the Columbia University Library System, and is one of the largest buildings on the campus. It was funded by Edward Harkness, benefactor of Yale's residential college system, and designed by his favorite architect, James Gamble Rogers. It was completed in 1934 and renamed for Butler in 1946.

 

The library design is neo-classical in style. Its façade features a row of Ionic columns, above which are inscribed the names of great writers, philosophers, and thinkers, most of whom are read by students engaged in the Core Curriculum of Columbia College.

 

As of 2020, Columbia's library system includes over 15.0 million volumes, making it the eighth largest library system and fifth largest collegiate library system in the United States.

 

Low Memorial Library

 

Several buildings on the Morningside Heights campus are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Low Memorial Library, a National Historic Landmark and the centerpiece of the campus, is listed for its architectural significance. It is the large domed building in the photograph.

 

A statue by sculptor Daniel Chester French called Alma Mater is centered on the front steps of Low Memorial Library. McKim, Mead & White invited French to build the sculpture in order to harmonize with the larger composition of the court and library in the center of the campus.

 

Draped in an academic gown, the female figure of Alma Mater wears a crown of laurels and sits on a throne. The scroll-like arms of the throne end in lamps, representing sapientia and doctrina. A book signifying knowledge balances on her lap, and an owl, the attribute of wisdom, is hidden in the folds of her gown.

 

Her right hand holds a scepter composed of four sprays of wheat, terminating with a crown of King's College which refers to Columbia's origin as a royal charter institution in 1754. A local actress named Mary Lawton was said to have posed for parts of the sculpture.

 

The statue was dedicated on the 23rd. September 1903, as a gift of Mr. & Mrs. Robert Goelet, and was originally covered in gold leaf.

 

During the Columbia University protests of 1968 a bomb damaged the sculpture, but it has since been repaired.

 

The small hidden owl on the sculpture is also the subject of many Columbia legends, the main legend being that the first student in the freshmen class to find the hidden owl on the statue will be valedictorian, and that any subsequent Columbia male who finds it will marry a Barnard student, given that Barnard is a women's college.

 

"The Steps", alternatively known as "Low Steps" or the "Urban Beach", are a popular meeting area for Columbia students. The term refers to the long series of granite steps leading from the lower part of campus (South Field) to its upper terrace. With a design inspired by the City Beautiful movement, the steps of Low Library provide Columbia University and Barnard College students, faculty, and staff with a comfortable outdoor platform and space for informal gatherings, events, and ceremonies.

 

McKim's classical façade epitomizes late 19th.-century new-classical designs, with its columns and portico marking the entrance to an important structure.

 

Other Campus Buildings

 

Philosophy Hall is listed as the site of the invention of FM radio.

 

Also listed is Pupin Hall, another National Historic Landmark, which houses the physics and astronomy departments. Here the first experiments on the fission of uranium were conducted by Enrico Fermi. The uranium atom was split there ten days after the world's first atom-splitting in Copenhagen, Denmark.

 

Other buildings listed include Casa Italiana, the Delta Psi, Alpha Chapter building of St. Anthony Hall, Earl Hall, and the buildings of the affiliated Union Theological Seminary.

Other campuses

 

The Manhattanville Campus

 

In April 2007, the university purchased more than two-thirds of a 17 acre (6.9 ha) site for a new campus in Manhattanville, an industrial neighborhood to the north of the Morningside Heights campus.

 

Stretching from 125th. Street to 133rd. Street, Columbia Manhattanville houses buildings for Columbia's Business School, School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia School of the Arts, and the Jerome L. Greene Center for Mind, Brain, and Behavior, where research takes place on neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

 

The $7 billion expansion plan included demolishing all buildings, except three that are historically significant (the Studebaker Building, Prentis Hall, and the Nash Building), eliminating the existing light industry and storage warehouses, and relocating tenants in 132 apartments. Replacing these buildings created 6.8 million square feet (156 acres or 630,000 m2) of space for the university.

 

Community groups in West Harlem fought the expansion for reasons ranging from property protection and fair exchange for land, to residents' rights. Subsequent public hearings drew neighborhood opposition. In December 2008, the State of New York approved use of eminent domain, which, through declaration of Manhattanville's "blighted" status, gives governmental bodies the right to appropriate private property for public use. On the 20th. May 2009, the New York State Public Authorities Control Board approved the Manhattanville expansion plan.

 

Columbia Undergraduates

 

Columbia University received 60,551 applications for the class of 2025 (entering 2021), and a total of around 2,218 were admitted to the two schools for an overall acceptance rate of 3.66%.

 

Columbia is a racially diverse school, with approximately 52% of all students identifying themselves as persons of color. Additionally, 50% of all undergraduates received grants from Columbia. The average grant size awarded to these students is $46,516. In 2015–2016, annual undergraduate tuition at Columbia was $50,526 with a total cost of attendance of $65,860 (including room and board).

 

Annual gifts, fund-raising, and an increase in spending from the university's endowment have allowed Columbia to extend generous financial aid packages to qualifying students. On the 11th. April 2007, Columbia University announced a $400 million donation from media billionaire alumnus John Kluge to be used exclusively for undergraduate financial aid.

 

As of 2008, undergraduates from families with incomes as high as $60,000 a year will have the projected cost of attending the university, including room, board, and academic fees, fully paid for by the university.

 

Ranking

 

Columbia University is ranked 18th. in the United States and seventh globally for 2022–2023 by U.S. News & World Report. In the previous year, Columbia was ranked sixth in the United States, although this was later found to have resulted from inaccurate statistics submitted by the university, resulting in its temporary delisting from the rankings.

 

Columbia Research

 

The College of Physicians and Surgeons played a central role in developing the modern understanding of neuroscience with the publication of Principles of Neural Science, described by historian of science Katja Huenther as the "neuroscience bible." The book was written by a team of Columbia researchers that included Nobel Prize winner Eric Kandel, James H. Schwartz, and Thomas Jessell.

 

Columbia was the birthplace of FM radio and the laser.

 

The first brain-computer interface capable of translating brain signals into speech was developed by neuroengineers at Columbia.

 

The MPEG-2 algorithm for transmitting high quality audio and video over limited bandwidth was developed by Dimitris Anastassiou, a Columbia professor of electrical engineering.

 

Biologist Martin Chalfie was the first to introduce the use of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) in labeling cells in intact organisms.

 

Other inventions and products related to Columbia include Sequential Lateral Solidification (SLS) technology for making LCD's, System Management Arts (SMARTS), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) (which is used for audio, video, chat, instant messaging and whiteboarding), pharmacopeia, Macromodel (software for computational chemistry), a new and better recipe for glass concrete, Blue LED's, and Beamprop (used in photonics).

 

Columbia scientists have been credited with about 175 new inventions in the health sciences each year. More than 30 pharmaceutical products based on discoveries and inventions made at Columbia have reached the market.

 

These include Remicade (for arthritis), Reopro (for blood clot complications), Xalatan (for glaucoma), Benefix, shoulder prosthesis, homocysteine (testing for cardiovascular disease), and Zolinza (for cancer therapy).

 

Columbia Technology Ventures, as of 2008, manages some 600 patents and more than 250 active license agreements. Patent-related deals earned Columbia more than $230 million in the 2006 fiscal year, more than any other university in the world.

 

Columbia owns many unique research facilities, such as the Columbia Institute for Tele-Information dedicated to telecommunications, and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, which is an astronomical observatory affiliated with NASA.

 

Columbia Students

 

In 2020, Columbia University's student population was 31,455 (8,842 students in undergraduate programs and 22,613 in postgraduate programs), with 45% of the student population identifying themselves as a minority.

 

Twenty-six percent of students at Columbia have family incomes below $60,000. Seventeen percent of students are the first member of their family to attend a four-year college.

 

Columbia University Traditions

 

(a) Orgo Night

 

In one of the university's traditions, begun in 1975, at midnight before the Organic Chemistry exam—often the first day of final exams—the Columbia University Marching Band invaded and briefly occupied the main undergraduate reading room in Butler Library to distract and entertain studying students with some forty-five minutes of raucous jokes and music, beginning and ending with the singing of the school's fight song, "Roar, Lion, Roar".

 

After the main show before a crowd that routinely began filling the room well before the announced midnight start time, the Band led a procession to several campus locations, including the residential quadrangle of Barnard College for more music and temporary relief from the stress of last-minute studying.

 

In December 2016, following several years of complaints from students who said that some Orgo Night scripts and advertising posters were offensive to minority groups, as well as a The New York Times article on the Band's crass treatment of sexual assault on campus, University administrators banned the Marching Band from performing its Orgo Night show in the traditional Butler Library location.

 

Protests and allegations of censorship followed, but University President Lee Bollinger said that complaints and publicity about the shows had "nothing to do with" the prohibition. The Band instead performed—at midnight, as usual—outside the main entrance of Butler Library.

 

The Band's Alumni Association registered protests with the administration, and an ad hoc group of alumni writing under the name "A. Hamiltonius" published a series of pamphlets addressing their dissatisfaction with the ban, but at the end of the spring 2017 semester the university administration held firm, forcing the Marching Band to again stage its show outside the building.

 

For Orgo Night December 2017, Band members quietly infiltrated the library with their musical instruments during the evening, and popped up at midnight to perform the show inside despite the ban.

 

Prior to the spring 2018 exam period, the administration warned the group's leaders against a repeat and restated the injunction, warning of sanctions; the Band again staged its Orgo Night show in front of the library.

 

(b) Tree Lighting at College Walk

 

The campus Tree Lighting ceremony was inaugurated in 1998. It celebrates the illumination of the medium-sized trees lining College Walk, just before finals week in early December. The lights remain on until the 28th. February. Students meet at the sundial for free hot chocolate, performances by cappella groups, and speeches by the university president and a guest.

 

(c) The Lighting of the Yule Log

 

The lighting of the yule log is a Columbia Christmas ceremony dating to a period prior to the American Revolutionary War. It lapsed before being revived by President Nicholas Murray Butler in 1910.

 

A troop of students dressed as Continental Army soldiers carry the log from the sundial to the lounge of John Jay Hall, where it is lit amid the singing of seasonal carols. The Christmas ceremony is accompanied by a reading of A Visit From St. Nicholas by Clement Clarke Moore. There is also a Santa Claus by Francis Pharcellus Church.

 

(d) The Varsity Show

 

The Varsity Show is an annual musical written by students. It was established in 1894, making it one of Columbia's oldest traditions.

 

Past writers and directors have included Columbians Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, Lorenz Hart, I.A.L. Diamond, Herman Wouk and Eric Garcetti. The show has one of the largest operating budgets of all university events.

1922 Austin Twin Tornadoes

 

So what else happened on the day that Julie posted the card?

 

Well, on the afternoon of the 4th. May 1922, two simultaneous tornadoes struck Austin, Texas, taking unusual southwesterly paths that tore through the city and surrounding areas on both sides of the Colorado River.

 

Historical accounts described the morning and afternoon as sweltering; clouds percolated northeast of Austin by noon, and had developed into thunderstorms over the city by around 4:00 p.m.

 

The first tornado began in a rural area 6 mi (9.7 km) northwest of the city and tracked across the Texas Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Institute for Colored Youth and Deep Eddy, injuring at least five people and causing around $25,000 in damage.

 

The tornado was widely photographed and was estimated to have been an F2 tornado on the Fujita scale.

 

While the first tornado was inflicting damage, a second tornado touched down near the Texas State Cemetery and tore across the Travis Heights community and St. Edwards University.

 

Its most destructive impacts occurred at the Woodward Manufacturing Company's automobile plant at Penn Field. It then curved west towards Manchaca and Oak Hill, leveling homes and uprooting numerous trees before dissipating.

 

The second tornado was the more destructive of the two and killed at least 12 people, including six at a single home in Oak Hill. It was estimated to have been an F4 tornado on the Fujita scale. In aggregate, the two tornadoes injured 50–60 people and inflicted at least $300,000 in damage, with some estimates placing the damage toll above $700,000.

At His Peak

After his release from the Neulengbach prison (Lower Austria), Schiele relocated to the studie of his friend Erwin Dom Osen in Vienna. That same summer of 1912, he traveled with Wally to Carinthia and Trieste, as well as to Lake Constance and Munich, where he discovered the work of German Expressionists.

In November Schiele rented a studio at Hietzinger Hauptstraße (Main Road) 101 in Vienna's Thirteenth District, which he kept until his death. Through Gustav Klimt, Schiele was introduced to the industrialist and collector August Lederer. Erich, the Lederers' adolescent son, invited Schiele to spend Christmas and New Year's at the family home in Györ, Hungary. Thanks to the patronage of the Lederer Family and of the collector Franz Hauer, Egon Schiele's financial situation improved.

Early in 1913, Schiele was admitted to the "Association of Austrian Artists" and participated in its exhibition in Budapest. He also presented a large number of works in prominent shows in Munich, Berlin and Düsseldorf in that year. The "International Black and White Exhibition" and the 43rd Exhibition of the Secession in Vienna included works by the artist.

 

Am Zenit. Nach seiner Entlassung aus dem Neulengbacher Bezirksgefängnis übersiedelt Schiele nach Wien ins Atelier seines Freundes Erwin Dom Osen. Noch im selben Sommer reist er mit Wally nach Kärnten und Triest sowie an den Bodensee und nach München, wo er Werke des deutschen Expressionismus kennenlernt. Im November mietet Schiele ein Atelier in der Hietzinger Hauptstraße 101 im XIII. Wiener Gemeindebezirk, das er bis zu seinem Tode behalten wird. Gustav Klimt vermittelt ihm den Kontakt zu dem wichtigen Sammler und Industriellen August Lederer. Erich Lederer, der damals 16-jährige Sohn der Familie, lädt Schiele auf den Familiensitz im ungarischen Györ ein, wo der Künstler Weihnachten und Neujahr verbringt. Durch den Sammler Franz Hauer und die Familie Lederer bessern sich Schieles finanzielle Verhältnisse.

Anfang 1913 wird Schiele in den "Bund österreichischer Künstler" aufgenommen und beteiligt sich an dessen Budapester Ausstellung. Auch in München, Berlin und Düsseldorf sind in prominenten Ausstellungen zahlreiche seiner Werke zu sehen. In Wien nimmt er an der "Internationalen Schwarz-Weiß-Ausstellung und der 43. Ausstellung der Secession teil.

"It is my will that ​​the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".

This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.

It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.

The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.

In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.

The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values ​​found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:

After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".

Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905

This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.

The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values ​​of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.

This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.

The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

The only other New 52 Teen Titan I plan on getting in the immediate future is Red Robin.

 

Technically, Red Hood and the Outlaws were Titans in the Old 52 Post Crisis world, so they can easily wok into my plans once they are available.

 

Unless something perhaps involving the speed force happens to the New 52 Wally West, who is a bit too young at the moment, I'll keep using the old Bart Allen as my Kid-Flash.

 

Brightest Day Aqualad should look about right with my hypothetical Titans even though there are no Aqualads yet in the New 52.

Latest update on mortality:

 

www.tributes.com/show/George-W.-Schneider-88100168

Long ago I located George Schneider in Raleigh, North Carolina. Since then I hadn't heard from him for years. I verified him through my contact information and also the SSN of 082-20--_ _ _ _ . I show that he was living in Richmond Hills, NY when he signed with the Dodgers. Schneider was a member of the Ponca City Dodger pitching staff for a brief time in 1947.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

The following type of comments are what cause me to arise from my catatonic stupor, every few days look for a computer, sometimes recognize it and then attempt to piece together a report. This report is way too long so don’t attempt to consume it at one sitting. WARNING: This report might be so boring to you that it will put you to sleep. Do not read and operate heavy machinery at the same time or read while holding a hot cup of coffee. You might awaken to first and second degree burns “all over your body.”

 

The first comment must relate to the fact I found my computer. “Mr. Hall you are fantastic.” The sender of that added “I played legion ball in Southeast Kansas and was scouted by Zack Wheat and Mickey Owen--baseball in fifties was great." Thomas McCray

 

Ed reply:

 

I worked in a grocery chain with Zack Wheat's grandson. We called him Wheaties. . There is a little park north of Camdenton, MO that is called “Zack Wheat Park” and it is laid out like a ball field. It is small but on first base is engraved the number of singles he had, second base the number of doubles and the same thing for third and home. It is a rather unique set up

 

The birthday gift

Good stuff, John. 'My birthday present (yesterday) from you to me. bob schwarz--1950 Iola Indians--Clifton Park, NY

 

Ed note:

 

Mr. Schwarz was referring to the most recent Flash Report. Since it was sent on August 23 and it got to him the day after his birthday, I deduce that he was born on August 22nd. I’m not putting down the year of birth. There are only ten former KOM leaguers who are not as yet 80 years of age or older and by this time next year everyone of them will be at least four-score years of age.

 

The children of the former players stay in touch

 

Mr. Hall, Hi, How are ya? I hope all is well with you and yours. I'm Linda Hammond, Ed Wilson's daughter. I enjoy reading about all the ball players and their careers. I completely understand that your flash reports are a lot of work but I want you to know that I do enjoy reading them. Thanks for your time, With all my blessing's to you, Ed Wilson's daughter, Linda Hammond--Topeka, Kansas

 

Ed note:

 

Ed Wilson was a member of the 1948 Miami, OK Owls and after that season was not heard from by KOM fans until he showed up to pitch for the Iola Indians in 1952. Ed was a long time friend of this editor and we had a weekly chat late Sunday evening during the time his wife was in a nursing home. He visited her every day and fed her. On Sunday evening’s it was time to unwind. When he passed away, in 2002, a number of his former KOM teammates and Topeka baseball buddies showed up for the funeral. It was sort of like a mini-KOM reunion. The funeral procession led to a cemetery west of Ottawa, Kansas. There he was reunited with the lady he always talked about during our very late Sunday night telephone conversations. There are a lot of Ed Wilson stories to tell. If you never saw Ed but would want a description of his physical appearance and pitching style, think of the former big league hurler, Stu Miller.

 

Note from a Kansan who remembers me from a previous life

 

A fellow with whom I worked on some major automated systems, in Kansas government, during the time I was a “productive” member of society sent along the following stating it reminded him of me. “I entered 10 puns in a contest to see which would win....No pun in ten did.” I doubt that I will ever shake off the barnacles of my past.

 

Ed reply: Edited to keep the rest of the readership from being too bored.

 

It's good to be remembered even if it’s a pun that brought me to mind. I might have to work that one into my next Flash Report if there happens to be another one.

 

I received a call from Topeka yesterday. The folks at the State Historical Society sure want me to donate my "collected works" to them. I keep thinking that they figure I'm an old washed up relic and don't need or want that stuff any longer. I don't know what I have that would be of interest to anyone but a member of that agency volunteered to drive to Columbia to look over anything I might have that I'd let go of before I croak. I told the representative I had about a half century of complete yearly sets of Sporting News and Sports Illustrated issues since SI was founded but I learned there is no interest in those documents. I told the caller I had about a thousand copies of the Mantle book and that didn't cause the interest meter to rise either.

 

When I related having every letter from the past 19 years that the former players had sent the interest perked up. I learned pretty shortly that is the type of material historical societies covet. I related r they weren't in any sort of order but was assured that is something the society would love to have. I can't imagine what they would do with such stuff.

 

In short, if I ever part with the stuff I have, that my grandsons don't want, I imagine giving it to a state historical society would be the best approach. As the person told me yesterday, the material would be held in perpetuity. I'd just as soon it be held inside out of the elements but being held in perpetuity would be okay.

 

Ed comment:

 

I felt pretty happy to know that the letters sent to me over the years by guys talking about their KOM experiences is of more historical value, to some folks, than the reams of newsprint and magazine going back over a half century.

Vindication of a story in previous report

 

You did not misrepresent me to the Carthage Museum lady. My book on the ASL/A- (Arkansas State league) was supposed to come out June 1, 2013 (missed it by that much!) and about one month ago my publisher/editor said he was editing the book but I still haven't seen a single page of it. It seems likely now that it might be next spring before the book comes out. At this point, I feel like the proverbial mushroom - fed you know what and kept in the dark! Ha, ha, ha. Jerry Hogan--Fayetteville, Ark.

Someone missed the Bill Virdon TV video

 

Was very interested, to read the Virdon comments, but the URL did not work for me. I was livid when Frank Lane traded Bill to the Pirates for Bobby Del Greco, and wrote a lengthy letter to Lane, expressing me feelings. Del Greco's batting average after the trade vindicated my comments. Received no response from Lane, or Cardinal office. Darryl Lawson in Michigan

 

Ed note:

 

Since Darryl couldn’t pull up that site I resubmitted it to him. And, I’m placing it in this report, once more, to ensure everyone else got it. If they did this is a space filler.

. Celebrate West Plains: Bill Virdon Reflects on his career -- ky3.com www.ky3.com/.../Celebrate-West-Plains-Bill-Virdon-re...Aug 14, 2013Bill Virdon met his wife in West Plains. Virdon was a World Series-winning outfielder for the Pirates in 1960

 

Darryl was from St. Louis and in 1950 met and married a classmate of Shirley Virdon, at Southeast Missouri State University, who wasn’t as yet married to Bill. As a result of the resubmitted story of Bill and Shirley, Darryl sent the following e-mail to Shirley Virdon this week.

 

As a devout Gas Houser, Knot Holer, and Redbird fan, and with MANY Cardinal fans, our spirits, when our times come, will dedicate ourselves to haunt the spirit of Frank Lane, for trading Bill to Pittsburgh, for Bobby Del Greco ( who proved our judgments) in his Cardinal "career."

 

My VERY best wishes go to Mr. Center Field, and my best to you.

 

I was introduced to Erma Lee on the front steps of AD building in Cape Girardeau, by Bev Causino. in 1950. Erma Lee and I were married 60 years + 3 days 1 January 1953---4 January 2013.

Testing the old man’s memory

 

Johnny: Do you remember the dent in the right-field scoreboard at Muny Park, about eight inches from the top? Legend has it that a Springfield ballplayer by the name of Stanley Frank Musial put it there. -- Corky

 

Ed note:

 

Only one person on this planet calls me Johnny. So, when I get a note with that salutation I knew its coming from the best sportswriter I ever rode double with on my red Western Auto bicycle. It had Bendix brakes on it by the way. The youth of my era used to argue which type of bicycle brakes were the best. Those of us with Bendix thought our brand was best but the kids with the expensive bikes had New Departure brakes. They probably stopped about equally well as we all went flying over the handle bars.

 

Ed reply:

 

I don't recall that but I do recall seeing Musial’s name signed into the top of the third base dugout. It was etched in the tar that covered it. Musial would have had to put it there in 1941 and I'm sure it didn't last ten years. And, Musial played for Springfield that year and their visiting team dugout was down the first base line. I once told Bob Speake that Musial cleared that scoreboard. Bob shrugged and said he did it a number of times. I think Musial was the first guy to do it. I'll confess I didn't see anyone clear it in 1951. But, the Carthage boys didn't have the power to wallop very many of them. The guy I recall hitting the most was Tommy Kordas. He'd usually hit one over the head of the centerfielder for an inside the park homer in the 9th. Today those would be called "Run off homers." What talent Tommy had in power he compensated for in a lack of speed. Carthage had a total of 24 homers during the entire season. Bernie Tomicki led the club with eight followed by Kordas who had six, George Beck surprisingly hit four, Russ Oxford who recently passed away had three and Gary Hicks, manager Don Anderson and Len Van de Hey rounded out the power drives with one each. We didn’t lose many balls in that era via the home run route.

 

I don't want to offend any of the guys, but in the long run, Leonard Van de Hey turned out to have the greatest amount of success in the game. He put up some eye popping batting averages in later years and had a shot with the New York Giants. He came along at the time of Whitey Lockman, Willie McCovey, Orlando Cepeda, Bill White and that bunch. He went to spring training and the Giants tossed him a glove and told him "Go out and make the team." To make the team he had to oust all of the aforementioned from the first base position. The Giants eventually sent him to the Washington Senators organization for Carlos Paula, another guy who "just missed" the Hall of Fame.

 

Don Biebel was a very good catcher. John Curtis, a lefty from the Cubs in the late 50's and early 60's told me that Biebel was the best catcher he ever pitched to and that he had pitched to Del Crandall during his career. Without the Korean War I think Walt Babcock, Bud McClure, John Mudd and a couple of others might have had some good years in the high minors for the Cubs.

A very unpleasant diversion:

 

Attempts are ongoing to find the 120 former KOM leaguers that I’ve never been able to locate. After finding a former player efforts are conducted to maintain contact. When I don’t hear from someone within a reasonable amount of time the Social Security Death Index and other resources are checked. This past week one of the fellows whose spikes I used to clean and hang his uniform when it came back from the cleaners was the subject of a search. I did so since I hadn’t heard from him in a few years. When I entered his name on Google I got his photo as well as a disturbing story. You think I’m going to give the URL and include the story here? Guess again.

 

However, I did share the URL with a few of the fellow’s former teammates and a couple of my buddies from their time hanging out at the Carthage ball park. Here is the story in a veiled and edited form.

 

Note to a few folks:

 

Hey guys, I try to keep up with those from the 1951 club but in a story I found out of (City--State) today, I wish I hadn't. You won't recognize the face but I'm sure you'll remember the name. I don't think I'll be contacting him any time soon.

 

Feedback:

 

Response from a pitcher on that Carthage team indicated he wouldn’t have known the guy from the photo

 

Ed reply:

 

I wouldn't ' have recognized him either. Kind of sad that he messed up in his old age. Maybe a little dementia was involved. Didn't we call him Clark Kent? He wasn't with the team very long. He came down from (another team in another league). The Chicago Cubs meant to assign him to (another city) but messed up. You and (another good pitcher) couldn't carry all the load so Carthage kept him until they figured out he wasn't going to be of any help and they shuffled him off to (another city). He was (record withheld) at Carthage.

 

Response from a Carthage Cub

 

THANKS, JOHN, FOR BEING A SLEUTH. I REMEMBER HIM WELL AND HE WAS A BIG GUY THEN. I NEVER COULD HAVE GUESSED WHO HE WAS FROM THE PICTURE. HOW TO RUIN THE REST OF YOUR LIFE FOR SUCH A FOOLISH THING.

 

JOHN, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT. CLARK KENT WAS THE NAME. (Former Carthage Cub)

 

From the family of another former Carthage Cub

 

That was a shock....he doesn't look too cute either....I forgot what (former players name )said when I showed it to him this AM. We were at the Dr.'s Office this AM and the PA who was giving us a message used these words. Colon Cancer....it was never brought to our attention so abruptly.

 

From a Carthage friend

 

I don't remember Mr. (anonymous) and I'm kinda glad I don't. But I feel as badly for him as I do the young woman he allegedly fooled around with. She doesn't sound like a candidate for Person of the Year, herself, as witness this line in the story out of the (name of town) newspaper: "She said she was tired of seeing other people’s posts indicating much milder confessions. 'I was getting really annoyed and I just kind of put it out there,'” she said. What was this, some kind of competition?

 

She waited two years to file a complaint and did so then only because she felt left out or something, related to her involvement on social media. Maybe she can live a better life now and not be haunted by the old fool's advances. Meanwhile, he's got some explaining to do PDQ at the pearly gates.

 

Ed reply:

 

I think Facebook, Twitter and all that stuff is an abomination. It seems as though one person wants to outdo the other. I had the same feeling in reading it that you did. (The old ballplayer’s) life is about over but for the days he has left in that town he will always be viewed as the dirty old man. He may have had a bit of dementia by that time in his life. I think I have it or am getting close to it and I'm nearly a decade his junior. When you get to the Pearly Gates the days of explaining are long over. If I read it correctly the confessing must be done here before I get there. Wouldn't it be terrible if we all got it wrong and we found upon getting to the after life that something else was expected of us?

 

Friend’s reply:

 

Yeah, and what if we wind up in a parallel universe and it's still 1950 and we're out there in your back yard swinging a bat at a ball and doing our own announcing ("....swung on....it's back....way-way back....Holy Cow!"). In which case, I get first bats, OK? --

 

Ed reply:

 

1950 wasn't all that bad. Batter up. "It might be, it could be, it is," was the Harry Caray home run mantra.

 

Friend’s reply:

 

John: What I remember of the "Harry Caray Polka:"

 

"It might be, it could be, it IS a home run....

Holy Cow, we've got 'em now,

Come on boys, let's take our bow

Let's sing the Harry Caray Polka.

 

Glaviano's up in the pinch,

One more clout and this game's a cinch

It might be, it could be, etc.

 

Marty, Red and Howard, too

They will win this game for you.

Let's sing the Harry Caray Polka..."

 

Ed reply:

 

I've got to send tentacles out to my older readers in St. Louis to find out if they know where a copy of the Harry Caray Polka can be found or at least the entire lyrics to that song. If I find it I'll share it with you. I think we're the only two people still vertical, in this reading audience, who remember it.

 

Note from one of my St. Louis contacts, from that era.

 

“We remember someone referring to Take Me Out to the Ball Game as "Harry Caray's polka" but haven't heard of a Harry Caray Polka. Barbara After sending what lyrics I had for the Harry Caray Polka, Barbara wrote “First time I've seen these lyrics - like it!!”

From Topeka, Kansas

 

Your mention of 19 KOM League players from Topeka caught my eye. Would you be willing to send me a list? I've been researching Shawnee County baseball history for the past several months because of my involvement with the Shawnee County Baseball Hall of Fame, and the information would be appreciated. Thanks, John.--Jan Johnson

Ed reply:

 

It's in the appendix to my big book which is all over that town. Short of that it will take me a while to compile that from my database. The biggest part of that effort is scrolling through a few thousand roster inserts. When you see that stuff you'll not find the Dodson boys as being from Topeka since they weren't born there. By the time they played baseball they were Topekans. (Actually, Lee was born in Topeka and Stokes was born in Hoyt, Kansas)

 

I have a "few" medical visits coming up between now and early September and those doctors and nurses don't like my thumbing through data files while they are trying to diagnose and treat. I just don't understand their insensitivity. Maybe I can work on it in the waiting rooms of those doctors since you never seem to be able to get in at the scheduled time.

 

If you don't see that list by the 10th of September, rattle my cage again. The reason I had those numbers in the last report was due to having gone through them a long time ago and putting down the number from each location. I didn't list their names or anything like that at the time which now appears to be a mistake since I've had a rather large number of requests from people from around the country requesting the information for their locale. One guy wanted it on a statewide basis of a state that placed a large number of young men in the KOM league. I might want to think about publishing the entire database or put it on a CD and use it to help fund my way through old age. That database represents well over 20,000 hours of research and it is still being updated and corrected after nearly 20 years of effort. I know I could give it away for different groups have begged me for it many times over the past decade. I always tell them that like good wine it won't be served before its time.

 

Jan’s reply:

 

I didn't realize I was asking for lots of additional work. Please don't go poring through thousands of records!

 

I'll try to track down the appendix information here. Which big book? I have a couple of your books, but I don't think I have the one you're talking about.

 

Ed reply:

 

I just attempted a global search on an old. database. I inserted the word "Topeka" and got names of guys who were born, played and died there. Wow!!! that was a whopper of a list. I have about three databases that have only one thing in common, the name. I wish one database contained all the data but I couldn't build one that large. What is in the Appendix 1 of Majoring in The Minors lists, in most cases; full name, place of birth, teams for which that person played during his career, hometown and place and date of death. That is what made me a recluse for nearly a decade and a half, attempting to discover that information. That information also listed the semi-pro teams for whom a number of those guys played. No official baseball record book contains that data.. I think I even have Lee Dodson's Decker Oiler days in his list of career stops. If I don't then I wrote a supplement to that appendix that showed it.

 

A quick scan of my big green book "Majoring in The Minors" reveals the following names of guys born in Topeka, those who died there and Bob Speake who moved there after his baseball career concluded: I imagine I got 98% of the names looking Appendix 1 in the aforementioned book. The book I reference is at the Kansas State Historical Society reference desk, I'd imagine. That is, if they haven't tossed it out.

 

Most of the former Topekan's: Robert Lee, Harland and Burton Coffman, Lee and Stokes Dodson), Ray Etzel, Charles "Chick" Green (played in one game at Chanute), Lester Logan, Duane Melvin, James Reaugh, Earl Hays, Charles Thomas Sleeper, Edwin Wilson, James Deines, John "Jack" Jordan, ( from Savonburg died there), Charles Stumborg (from Effingham, Illinois died there), Donald Reed ( from around Yates Center died there), Otis Bomar (murdered there and torched), Edward Haller (died there), Leonard Worthington was from Lecompton but died there, Alexander Grieves lives there but was from Burlingame, James Davis died there but was from San Antonio, TX. Charlie Bates managed Chanute two different times. He was a former big leaguer from Philadelphia and was living in Alma, KS, when he got terminally ill. He died at Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka. I think Winlow Johnson, like Grieves, was from Burlingame and he may have died in a Topeka hospital. Dodson would know that factoid.

 

Most of the foregoing played at either Miami, OK or Chanute, KS when they were the Class D farm club of the Topeka Owls. The exceptions to that rule, as I recall were; Sleeper, the Coffman brothers, Robert Lee, James Davis and Jack Jordan.

 

All of the "vitals" on those guys are in the book I mentioned and a lot more. It is the most comprehensive reference book, in my humble opinion, on any Class D league that ever made it to the publishing stage. I think that since no one else was crazy enough to take on such an onerous project for nothing more than curiosity. The curiosity was limited, as I expected, since two editions of that book sold fewer copies than the number of residents in Auburn, Kansas. But, the book was 430 pages when I first released it and 440 the second time. The second edition had over 5,000 updates in the appendix over the first edition. If I were to publish that book again, which I won't, I suspect the number of updates would number somewhere in the 20,000+ category. It is a never ending project until I'm gone. That is why the printed newsletters and Flash Reports came along. They picked up where the book left off. Thus, the comprehensive work on the KOM league is many-fold. Long after I'm gone someone could pick up the pieces and keep adding to the lore but it would be without a very large portion of the people who participated in it as either a player or fan.

 

The book that Arcadia published wasn't much more than an outline of the big book that came out in 1994 & 2000. I guess the Arcadia book also mirrored a little of the early printed KOM league newsletters.

 

That's a brief view of the Topeka impact on the KOM league. In short, it’s tough to summarize.

 

Response from Jan:

 

Thank you, thank you! The information you sent is wonderful. I'm familiar with some of the names, but many of them are new to me. Like you, I'm big into databases and I'll be adding these guys to mine. I'll also bring your email along the next time I visit with Lee Dodson (along with the latest flash reports). It will be fun going through the list with him.

I volunteer a few hours each week at the Historical Society and also spend at lot of research time in the reading room, so it will be easy to look up Majoring in the Minors there. I'll probably be in touch again to ask some questions; hope that's OK. Thanks again, John.

 

Another note to Jan

 

Otis Bomar was from Williamson, Ks. and worked at Goodyear. His murder made big headlines in Topeka back in the 70's. I did some research on the entire murder, the burning of his body and the trial and it was after the books were published so it was in one of my newsletters.. Ask Lee Dodson sometime about the first baseman with whom he played at both Chanute and Topeka who was murdered in the living quarters of his bar in Cicero, I'll. That murder occurred in 1979 and was a cold case until the mid-nineties. They finally arrested two guys for the crime but the wheels of justice dragged on for years. I finally contacted the prosecutor in Cook County, Illinois and told him of my interest in the case and while saying he never did such a thing before he'd keep me apprised of the case. One of the two killers went Joliet. I researched him during that time and he was

sending out messages begging people to communicate with him. I started to write him and ask if he ever met Murph Malattia for that was the guy he killed and then sat at the crime scene, ate a sandwich and drank Murphy's beer.

 

Response from Jan:

 

Gee, John. Do you have this amount of detail on all the KOM players?

 

Ed reply:

 

A preface to the reply is this. Brevity is the soul of wit. So, I am thus “wit-less.” But, I’ve also heard that he who thinks himself to be a wit is usually about half right. Now to the reply.

 

Mostly, yes. Some way more. The three books I wrote, the 17 years of the KOM League Remembered newsletters and Flash Reports since 1998 that contain a few million words produced tons of information. I would say that what I have on Bomar is much below the average amount I have on over 1500 guys. Some of what I shared with you today on Bomar was uncovered today. I could go into detail on just about any player. Pull up that big green book at the Historical Society the next time you're there. I had a call from the Kansas Historical Society yesterday and I told the representative you might want to see it sometime. Go to any name in that large Appendix 1, jot it down and send it to me and see if I know about the guy and have anything on him. I'd put my chances of being able to write a few paragraphs about that person at well over 98%. Even the guys I haven't found I still know quite a bit regarding their life.

 

There are only 120 of the former KOM leaguers left that I haven't found or learned of their fate. Some baseball researchers claim some of those guys never played, but they did. I have 43% more guys showing on KOM league rosters than what the SABR records indicate. That happened because they don't count those in ten or fewer games as position players or pitchers in less than 45 innings. The reason SABR didn’t have that information is not their fault but is due to the fact their researchers had to rely heavily on the Baseball Guides put out by the Sporting News who compiled the Howe Sports Bureau data from the previous season. (Ed note: With the donation the Sporting News made to SABR of those index cards the history of minor league baseball is going to come into a whole new light. I think that will answer a lot of lingering questions about who and who didn’t play professional baseball.)

 

My research was conducted by reading every box score and sports column in every paper for every season the KOM existed. I also received scores and scores of scrapbooks from former players that I used to cross check many inconsistencies. One of the biggest problems in looking at box scores is the misspelling of names. Many were done phonetically and that required doing a lot of rechecking.

 

One of the guys who bounces things of me and me him is Ray Nemec. He owns the Heilbroner Blue Book files. That was the official document of players signing contracts. But, some were never reported to Heilbroner who played in the KOM league. I was also fortunate to find a few old major league league scouts who kept track of names in their minor league system. Those reports carried SSN's that was a valuable tool in tracking guys. I even worked out an arrangement with the Social Security Administration that helped immensely in locating many of the former hard to find players. (I won't go into that arrangement but it was legal yet complicated.)

 

Probably the greatest source and most fortunate day of my research was when I was allowed total access to the card index system at the Sporting News in St. Louis. I had never seen so many card index files in my life. I went in there with names of fellows I had not yet found. Every person who ever signed a minor or major league contract is/was in those files. Every year they played baseball the information was typed on the card. Every player transaction was noted. For example, Otis Bomar could have been signed by Reading, Calif. and optioned to Falls Church, Va. and wound up in Iola and every one of those transactions would have been on the card. But, you had to figure out where he really showed up and played a game. That was a problem with going through thousands of cards in such a short time. If you weren't careful you would be putting a guy as playing for a team when it was only a paper transaction and he never appeared in a given town.

 

I spent countless hours in the Missouri and Kansas Historical Society files. Oklahoma didn't have a central repository of old newspapers and I lived at the Miami News Record, Ponca City News, Bartlesville Examiner and Blackwell, OK newspaper offices for a few months. Finally, I worked out an arrangement with my local public library and the Kansas Historical Society on the microfilm loan project. That turned out to be the best and by far the most economical way to gather the information from the Kansas newspapers from 1946-52.

 

Here in Columbia are housed all the newspapers for this state and with Carthage being in the KOM the Carthage Evening Press was readily available. However, the Joplin Globe was used extensively since it carried summaries of all KOM league games and their editors did a better job of getting the names spelled correctly.

 

Well, that briefly outlines how I ran down the history of the KOM league as well by talking to former owners, managers, players, radio announcers, sportswriters, batboys, fans and girlfriends of the guys who played. I don't think I missed many of the pertinent details. Just today I verified the death of a former Ponca City Dodger pitcher from 1947. He was from Richmond Hills, NY but died in Raleigh, North Carolina in 2010. That data was sent to the guys who work in "big time" research for that man's inclusion into their necrology files.

 

Most of the fellows I spoke with in the early days of my project, by telephone, I recorded. I had some many cassette tapes I hardly knew what to do with them. Then the reunions started and I had scores of VHS tapes of interviews etc. and even a couple of times we had professionals make highlight CD's or tapes of the event. All those people thought they were cinematographers but unfortunately, they turned out to be less than award winning. I guess the reunions turned out to be the last great memories for large numbers of former players and their spouses. We actually had people come off death beds to attend reunions only to return home and die shortly afterward. That is the way they wanted it. I think some willed to survive just to see their old teammates one last time. This could go on forever. It's over.

A note from a Canadian reader--the only one I have

 

I just noticed former Cardinal outfielder Harry Elliott died Aug. 9th. I cannot recall trying to contact Harry however I may have due to the fact he played in a few games with the 57 Vancouver Mounties and spent two seasons with San Diego, 54 and 56. I know I did not have his 55 Topps card at the time.

 

Ed reply:

 

I have a photo of Elliott nearby. There were high hopes for the Cardinal outfielders in 1956. On the March 5 cover of Sports Illustrated was a photo of Virdon, Repulski, Elliott, Musial and someone else leaping up as if they were catching fly balls.

 

Before that season got going real good Frank Lane made the great move of shipping Virdon off to the Pirates for Bobby Del Greco. Whatta' move. One of the worse moves in Cardinal history. The worst may have been Steve Carlton for Rick (Un)Wise. No "may have" at all, it was the worst trade in Cardinal history. The Cardinals probably would have won at least three pennants with Carlton. I pulled that SI out again. The other face on the cover was Wally Moon. Harry Elliott was a far better pianist than ball player. He played at a high level during the big band era.

 

Note on Harry Elliott was sent to Shirley Virdon, Bill’s bride.

 

On that note I sent about Harry Elliott he and Bill had something else in common, neither of them got to play (much) for the Cardinals in 1956 even though they went to Spring training together. In a story I read about Harry, he was a very good piano player and played professionally basically playing big band tunes. He was 29 by the time he made it to the Cardinals in 1953. When he died he was one of the 100 oldest living former big league players.

 

Reply from Shirley Virdon

 

Bill played almost two months before being traded. We had rented a house in Lemay from Joe Becker who was coaching for the Cubs. It was "wholesale time" for several Cardinals that spring! Now I'm trying to remember Harry's wife's name. I think it was Mary Lou, but not sure!!! They lived in Austin, Minn. in 1955-1956 in the off-season. Of course, they may not have stayed married all these years! Thanks for info.

Blessings, Shirley V.

Ed reply:

 

You were right. His wife was Mary Louise. She died and his obituary listed his significant other as Bernie Jean Estes. Harry married Mary Louise Field in 1950. They had seven children. He must have been living with his son in Lyons, Kansas before they placed him in a nursing home east of there in Little River.

 

Note to Shirley Virdon

 

Erby Carroll played for Bartlesville in 1946 with Jack (Bum)Garner. Jack always remembered him and before he died he wanted to know if I ever heard from Erby. Erby was from Viola, Arkansas and lived many years in Victorville, California. I have come up with a lead that he might have moved to West Plains in recent years. He is now 94 and if he lives another few years he'll be as old as his dad did. Thought that might be of interest to you as a former Zizzer. (or however you spell the West Plains High school mascot’s name).

 

KOM trivia: Two oldest surviving KOMers are Arkansas natives.

 

The oldest living members of the KOM league are Erby Rue Carroll from the 1946 Bartlesville Oilers and Vernon Snow of the 1947 Miami, Owls. Carroll was a native Viola, Arkansas and Snow was from Berryville in Carroll County. Snow has stayed put in Arkansas while Carroll lived many years in Victorville, CA. I was doing some checking recently and found where Carroll has moved back to the Midwest and lives in West Plains, MO. He's back in the stomping grounds of Preacher Roe, Bill Virdon, Ted Gullic, Porter Wagoner and Dick Van Dyke.

 

Erby Rue Carroll was born 11/30/1919 and Vernon Snow 9/11/1919. Both Snow and Carroll recall playing with and against Preaher Roe in some of those amateur games in the late 30's. They even recall the "All Girls" team Roe managed. The last time I spoke with those two fellows they were still sharp. Snow couldn’t hear me too well since he was out in the heat of the afternoon, mowing his yard.

At His Peak

After his release from the Neulengbach prison (Lower Austria), Schiele relocated to the studie of his friend Erwin Dom Osen in Vienna. That same summer of 1912, he traveled with Wally to Carinthia and Trieste, as well as to Lake Constance and Munich, where he discovered the work of German Expressionists.

In November Schiele rented a studio at Hietzinger Hauptstraße (Main Road) 101 in Vienna's Thirteenth District, which he kept until his death. Through Gustav Klimt, Schiele was introduced to the industrialist and collector August Lederer. Erich, the Lederers' adolescent son, invited Schiele to spend Christmas and New Year's at the family home in Györ, Hungary. Thanks to the patronage of the Lederer Family and of the collector Franz Hauer, Egon Schiele's financial situation improved.

Early in 1913, Schiele was admitted to the "Association of Austrian Artists" and participated in its exhibition in Budapest. He also presented a large number of works in prominent shows in Munich, Berlin and Düsseldorf in that year. The "International Black and White Exhibition" and the 43rd Exhibition of the Secession in Vienna included works by the artist.

 

Am Zenit. Nach seiner Entlassung aus dem Neulengbacher Bezirksgefängnis übersiedelt Schiele nach Wien ins Atelier seines Freundes Erwin Dom Osen. Noch im selben Sommer reist er mit Wally nach Kärnten und Triest sowie an den Bodensee und nach München, wo er Werke des deutschen Expressionismus kennenlernt. Im November mietet Schiele ein Atelier in der Hietzinger Hauptstraße 101 im XIII. Wiener Gemeindebezirk, das er bis zu seinem Tode behalten wird. Gustav Klimt vermittelt ihm den Kontakt zu dem wichtigen Sammler und Industriellen August Lederer. Erich Lederer, der damals 16-jährige Sohn der Familie, lädt Schiele auf den Familiensitz im ungarischen Györ ein, wo der Künstler Weihnachten und Neujahr verbringt. Durch den Sammler Franz Hauer und die Familie Lederer bessern sich Schieles finanzielle Verhältnisse.

Anfang 1913 wird Schiele in den "Bund österreichischer Künstler" aufgenommen und beteiligt sich an dessen Budapester Ausstellung. Auch in München, Berlin und Düsseldorf sind in prominenten Ausstellungen zahlreiche seiner Werke zu sehen. In Wien nimmt er an der "Internationalen Schwarz-Weiß-Ausstellung und der 43. Ausstellung der Secession teil.

 

The Albertina

The architectural history of the Palais

(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)

Image: The oldest photographic view of the newly designed Palais Archduke Albrecht, 1869

"It is my will that ​​the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".

This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.

Image: The Old Albertina after 1920

It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.

The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.

In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.

Picture: The "audience room" after the restoration: Picture: The "balcony room" around 1990

The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values ​​found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:

After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".

Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905

This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.

The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Image: The palace after the demolition of the entrance facade, 1948-52

Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values ​​of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.

Image: The palace after the Second World War with simplified facades, the rudiment of the Danubiusbrunnens (well) and the new staircase up to the Augustinerbastei

This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.

Image: The restored suburb facade of the Palais Albertina suburb

The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

With DC Rebirth, Geoff Johns decided to do-away with the continuity retcon and bring back some of the most beloved DC story arcs and make them cannon again. This is actually a pretty smart move, especially right now, but he was also clever enough to keep the New 52 in there as well. I mean, within the very beginning of the story, he re-introduces one of the most important characters in the DCU - Wally West. The original Wally West, is back - well, sort of. Wally's trying to break free from the Speed Force in which he is trapped.

  

This first scene echos Flash coming to warn Batman in Crisis on Infinite Earths - which is also continuity that has been restored. Barry Allen risked his life, and somehow found his way back. Wally West had been erased from DC continuity, all of his time as Kid Flash, all of his time in the Silver Age. But this story seems to be all about bringing that back. Bringing back the relationship between Oliver and Laurel - or at least hinting at the possibility. Both Blue Beetles - Ted Kord and Jaime Reyes - are working together. Aqualad has a boyfriend. There's so much to look forward to with this story.

 

Wally is coming back, but the other Wally West, the Black one, is also staying in continuity. O.G. Wally says his father Rudy had a sister and brother, Iris and Daniel. Daniel had a son that Wally never met, and they were both named after their great-grandfather: Wallace West. But it looks like O.G. Wally is going to be Wally, and the other Wally is going to be referred to as Wallace. And in this story, it's suggested that Wallace will be Kid Flash, as Wally watches him from the Speed Force saving someone's life. And when Wally says goodbye to Barry, assuming that no one and nothing will be able to pull him out of the Speed Force, Barry remembers him. This whole time, Wally was trying to find someone in this universe who remembers him and no one does. It's a bit of a scathing metaphor for what has happened in DC comics - Wally being erased and so many things in the DCU being erased, and the audience completely forgetting. But Barry remembers and pulls him back to life.

 

Wally surmises that someone plucked 10 years out of their existence. And it's suggested at the end of the book that Dr. Manhattan from Watchmen is responsible for all of this. Which is ridiculously exciting. Johns said this issue would be all about hope and optimism in the DCU, something Zack Snyder apparently hates. I think going back and restoring some of that classic continuity with DC Rebirth is a great idea, and he didn't even have to erase what the New 52 has been building up to. An 80-page first issue for only $2.99 - that ain't bad at all.

At His Peak

After his release from the Neulengbach prison (Lower Austria), Schiele relocated to the studie of his friend Erwin Dom Osen in Vienna. That same summer of 1912, he traveled with Wally to Carinthia and Trieste, as well as to Lake Constance and Munich, where he discovered the work of German Expressionists.

In November Schiele rented a studio at Hietzinger Hauptstraße (Main Road) 101 in Vienna's Thirteenth District, which he kept until his death. Through Gustav Klimt, Schiele was introduced to the industrialist and collector August Lederer. Erich, the Lederers' adolescent son, invited Schiele to spend Christmas and New Year's at the family home in Györ, Hungary. Thanks to the patronage of the Lederer Family and of the collector Franz Hauer, Egon Schiele's financial situation improved.

Early in 1913, Schiele was admitted to the "Association of Austrian Artists" and participated in its exhibition in Budapest. He also presented a large number of works in prominent shows in Munich, Berlin and Düsseldorf in that year. The "International Black and White Exhibition" and the 43rd Exhibition of the Secession in Vienna included works by the artist.

 

Am Zenit. Nach seiner Entlassung aus dem Neulengbacher Bezirksgefängnis übersiedelt Schiele nach Wien ins Atelier seines Freundes Erwin Dom Osen. Noch im selben Sommer reist er mit Wally nach Kärnten und Triest sowie an den Bodensee und nach München, wo er Werke des deutschen Expressionismus kennenlernt. Im November mietet Schiele ein Atelier in der Hietzinger Hauptstraße 101 im XIII. Wiener Gemeindebezirk, das er bis zu seinem Tode behalten wird. Gustav Klimt vermittelt ihm den Kontakt zu dem wichtigen Sammler und Industriellen August Lederer. Erich Lederer, der damals 16-jährige Sohn der Familie, lädt Schiele auf den Familiensitz im ungarischen Györ ein, wo der Künstler Weihnachten und Neujahr verbringt. Durch den Sammler Franz Hauer und die Familie Lederer bessern sich Schieles finanzielle Verhältnisse.

Anfang 1913 wird Schiele in den "Bund österreichischer Künstler" aufgenommen und beteiligt sich an dessen Budapester Ausstellung. Auch in München, Berlin und Düsseldorf sind in prominenten Ausstellungen zahlreiche seiner Werke zu sehen. In Wien nimmt er an der "Internationalen Schwarz-Weiß-Ausstellung und der 43. Ausstellung der Secession teil.

 

The Albertina

The architectural history of the Palais

(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)

"It is my will that ​​the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".

This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.

It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.

The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.

In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.

Picture: The "audience room" after the restoration: Picture: The "balcony room" around 1990

The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values ​​found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:

After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".

Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905

This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.

The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values ​​of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.

Image: The palace after the Second World War with simplified facades, the rudiment of the Danubiusbrunnens (well) and the new staircase up to the Augustinerbastei

This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.

Image: The restored suburb facade of the Palais Albertina suburb

The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

Eric Baker (28 Nov 1936 – 19 Jul 2006) was Budgewoi Public School's favourite teacher and has the “Eric Baker Community Education Centre” in the school grounds facing Woolana Avenue named in this honour. His retirement celebration was at the Masonic Club at Gorokan in 1996. Here's what he said.

  

I was born in 1936 at Cooranbong and lived at Martinsville, the second son of Fred and Eileen Baker on an orange growing orchard. I went to Cooranbong & Martinsville schools.

 

My parents were very poor farmers but gave us an idyllic lifestyle on the farm. There was no electricity or phone until about 1948. Then I went to Avondale Seventh Day Adventist High School, then Morisset Central and after the farm was sold, to Gosford High for the last two years after we moved to Toukley.

 

I decided to follow teaching as a career and went to Newcastle Teacher’s College in 1955-56.

 

My two brothers and sister all joined the Police Force, I’m not sure what influenced my choosing teaching, but I do remember being made to change to a right handed writer as you couldn’t become a teacher in those days if you were left handed. That was probably in either 3rd or 4th class.

 

College life was a big change – going into the big city of Newcastle – boarding with three other students and meeting girls on a social basis. I remember a few incidents at college that will remain with me forever:

 

1. Having to dance with the Art Lecturer if you wanted a good pass in that subject

 

2. Falling asleep in a boring lecture and falling off the chair (I think it was maths)

 

3. Griff Duncan (the Principal) warning us about country girls if we were sent to a small country school (pupils - not town girls)

 

All in all, quite interesting but not much practical use or help.

 

In 1957 we were all anxiously awaiting appointment to our first school - some were appointed before Christmas – but most over the Christmas holidays. None ever arrived for E. Baker, so on the first day I reported to my nearest school which was Toukley Public.

 

After four days there, a telegram arrived with my first appointment – Assistant at Barraba Central for the following Monday. After finding it on a school atlas I was taken there by my parents and left at the local pub (The Central) where some other teachers boarded (the men anyway). Lady teachers lived at the Victoria Hotel just down the street.

 

I Spent two great years at Barraba Central – and met Joan who taught in the High School English Department while I was in Infants (2nd class)

 

We soon married and applied for a school with nearby accommodation and got Ingleburn Primary, a fairly big primary school near Campbelltown. I had 3rd class with 53 pupils! (3B)

 

I made lifelong friends with Max & Dot Small (he only had 52 in his class) then when the owners wanted their little farm house back, I applied for another school with accommodation and was appointed to Mulwala Central. I found out it was on the NSW/Victorian border - 100km west of Albury.

 

I arrived at Mulwala and rented a very poor housing commission house where our third child was born and taught 5-6th composite of 44-46 pupils and also BK & BP in the high school section.

 

I had a great five years at Mulwala. I met some wonderful people and had a great time golfing, playing tennis, water-skiing, going to the snowfields, working on local farms, bringing up 3 kids, eating fruit, collecting firewood, shooting fish, playing cards, socialising with the boss and his family and watching this great new game, Aussie Rules.

 

Then I applied for a move to the Central Coast, any school within 20 miles of Toukley. I was told that there were no vacancies in that area so I was resigned to staying in Mulwala for another year.

 

Then suddenly came news of a move to Budgewoi Primary - a teacher had been chosen by birthdate to join the Armed Forces to go to Vietnam and so we were off to Toukley and Budgewoi Public School.

 

When I arrived on the first day, after crossing the single lane wooden bridge, I was met by George and Edna Scala (Principal & wife) and the first question I was asked was if I was interested in sport at a school level

 

I knew straight away I'd found my Eldorado. The school then was about 156 pupils and 6 teachers – George & Edna Scala, Val Braudrick, Edna Moore, Roy Strange and Eric Baker.

 

I was given 5th grade and had a wonderful class of kids - among them John Douglas, Greg Mitchell, Les Rowlandson and Pam Jones to name a few. The school was very poorly equipped - no library, no canteen, no sporting equipment but a great band of school P&C helpers and Ella Hobman who was the backbone one of the school in those early days.

 

One of my other jobs was cutting the firewood for the classroom fires - the woodshed was at the end of the Infant’s block and I also gave out the warm milk at recess.

 

Another incident I remember was digging up an echidna in the top playground and getting a green tree snake out of a classroom after two days.

 

The school then began to expand at an alarming rate - new pupils were arriving as if by magic and by 1972 we were bursting at the seams - then the primary section was built and Wal Dean was here as principal for about 7 or 8 years – principal was a teaching job until about 1975.

 

One excursion I must tell you about was a trip to Canberra and back in one day, left Budgewoi at 7.30am by bus, to Mascot, flew to Canberra - coach all over Canberra, lunch at Ten Pin Bowling Club and then more sightseeing, plane back to Mascot – tea on the bus back to Budgie - got back about 7.30pm. A great day – I think it coast about $17 each.

 

Over the next few years, enrolment was creeping up to about 550 and 20 teachers - some you may remember were Scott Cole, Ron James, Garth Horton, Gary Balzola, Bob and Graeme Davidson, Charles Beresford, Anne Buckle, Edna Moore, Joan Baker, Shirley Craig, John Staunton, Leila Maher, John Saunders, Phil Roxburgh, Elsa Saunders, June Morton, Wendy Wakeham, Pam Slough, Janet Moloney, Diane Hutchison, Beth Foley, Mary Cosgrove, Wendy Donaldson, Debbie Pascal, Laura Stanley, Warren Dell, John Maher, Angela Convy, Greg Thomas and Bob Jordan.

 

Then came the glorious 80s. We could call these the dawn of a new era for Budgewoi - over the 10 years of the 80s we grew to over 900 pupils (at one stage we were about the sixth largest primary school in the state) and over 40 teachers.

 

I’ll never forget the time when we were enjoying a Christmas break up party with the staff and I asked Jenny Christensen who a nice young lady was – who was sitting on the teacher’s table. I was told she was Miss (I’ve forgotten her name now) who’d been on the Infant’s staff all year and I’d never seen her!

 

So you can see there are problems in a large school – especially the 18 demountables we had on site – constantly being moved to other schools and being brought back.

 

Sports Day was a monumental task to organise - by then Gary Balzola had taken over from me and he did a fantastic job - Friday afternoon we had about 500 kids walking down to Halekulani Oval, playing and returning to catch buses (which is another story).

 

At one stage we had about eight buses shuttling kids backwards and forwards to school each day. Over the glorious 80s we had 3 of the greatest principals ever appointed to Budgewoi Public School. These being John Swift, Bill Clayton and Peter Newman in 1990.

 

John Swift was a most caring man who knew every child in the school by name and gave his whole being to the school. Bill Clayton was another man who was a great acquisition to Budgewoi – guiding us through a most difficult time with very high pupil and teacher numbers and housing everyone in crowded conditions as well as being an astute money manager.

 

Peter Newman came in 1990 and heralded a new period - a period that saw Budgewoi School become well known all over the State – mainly in the Performing Arts area with the great help of that outstanding teacher Rhonda Brown, with visits to the Opera House, Glen St Theatre and the Entertainment Centre and later in the Environmental Area with the great help of another outstanding man Phil Heaton who gave more than any man could be expected to give to our school with the Nature Area, beautification of the grounds, elevated walkway and in the water conservation and management area.

 

In 1991 Budgewoi School lost 11 teachers and 330 pupils mostly to Northlakes Public School, as well as 11 demountables and we had a playground again. Then came the acquisition of the school bus in 1993 and in 1994-5 the pergola area was built with the great help of the P&C especially Barb and Mark Donsworth who spent many many hours and days of endless worry before it was a reality.

 

Now we had Bruce Thompson, who is carrying on the tradition of great principals at Budgewoi School.

 

One thing that has greatly impressed me while I’ve been at BPS is the great staff – not only the teaching staff but the office staff, the parent helpers and the canteen staff - all working together to make Budgewoi School what it is.

 

While at BPS I’ve been interested in the Toukley Golf Club and the Lakes Surf Club – I enjoyed both of these clubs very much and have spent many happy times there with the Maguires, Williams, Simpsons, Dearings, Martins, and Cafes in both the Senior Surf Club and the Nippers.

 

As well as my own family house being very active as Joan and I now have eight grandchildren ranging from 2 weeks old to 15 years old - these are a great joy to us both and we plan to visit them a lot more after 1996.

 

Some great pupils I can remember well are: Greg Dearing, Vikki Williams, Cathy Maguire, Tony Maguire, Pamela Jones, Debbie Williams, Margo Jones, Lorraine Doyle, Peter Deane, Wendy Costello, Phillip Hall, Jenny Hall, Russell Hall, Sandra Dobbyn, Neil Simpson, Anne Stevenson, Grahame Cafe, John Stevenson, Julie Cafe, Bruce Stevenson, Alan Cafe, Tony Keevill, Denise Massey, Gordon Clarke, The Buckle girls, Greg Smith, The Heaton girls, Elisa Leray, Terumi Naraschima and Erin Cafe.

 

I’ve really enjoyed the camping programme that BPS has been involved in – from Camp Toukley to Point Wolstoncroft, Lake Keepit and the Great Aussie Bush Camp at Tea Gardens, also Camp McKay Police Boys Camp at North Richmond. A great experience for primary school kids and teachers alike.

 

I’m not sure yet whether I’ll come back casual teaching to Budgewoi School – as you all know being a casual teacher is a very difficult job and I think I’ll be too busy trying to fit in all the things I’ve put off over the years. However you never know!

 

My wife Joan and I have a new interest that has developed over the past year and that is bridge - a wonderful card game that keeps your aging brain agile.

 

We also want to travel around Australia and maybe take a cruise around the islands and we’ve even thought of going to India or Italy – maybe!

 

There are always jobs around the house - I may even be talked into doing a bit of gardening - and I’d like to try white-water rafting, hot air ballooning, a camel safari and I’ll probably start playing that frustrating game, golf, again!

 

Thanks everyone for supplying us with the raw materials, for supporting me over the years and for howling your interest by coming here tonight and listening to this boring diatribe for so long!

 

In conclusion could I say that I’ve heard that a ’good school’ is a good school because of the great kids enrolled there but I don’t agree - I think the parents and the teachers working together make a good school and Budgewoi has had both of these important ingredients ever since the school’s inception and that has made it one of the best in NSW.

BOEING B-17G-95-DL 44-83868/77233/N5237V

 

Jul 45 Built by Douglas Aircraft Corporation at Long Beach, California with

manufacturers' serial 32509, as part of the last block of B-17Gs built by

Douglas, `868 being the 17th from last of the block, part of contract

No.AC-1862.

04 Jul 45 First Flight - 1¼-hour test flight by Douglas test pilot Wally Tower.

05 Jul 45 50-minute test flight by Tower since the previous flight had been less than

the statutory 1½ hours.

06 Jul 45 Accepted at factory by USAAF as 44-83868.

08 Jul 45 Departed Long Beach en route to Syracuse Army Air Base, NY, via

Chanute Field IL - arrived 09 Jul.

14 Jul 45 Transferred from USAAF supply pool to US Navy as Bu No.77233. With

the advent of the Cadillac II programme (land-based long-range Airborne

Early Warning, command and control system) the USAAF set aside 20

brand new Douglas built B-17Gs serialled between 44-83855 and 44-

83884, including 44-83868, forming the nucleus of the US Navy radar

equipped PB-IW programme as US Navy serials 77225 to 77244. The

aircraft were transferred to the US Navy at Johnsville, Pennsylvania. See

Article - `The Navy and Coast Guard PB-1; A Summation. S A

Thompson, AAHS Journal Spring 1995. The US Navy obtained a total of

79 B-17s from various sources 1945-50, 21 as PB-IWs and 28 purely for

spares. On this date the aircraft left Syracuse Air Base for NAS

Johnsonville, a crew having been requested three days earlier.

Upon transfer 44-83868 and the other aircraft were ferried to the Naval

Aircraft Modification Unit (NAMU) at NAS Johnsville for conversion, the

major change being the installation of AN/APS-20 search radar in a

radome fitted below the bomb bay. Antennae were added to the fuselage.

Armament was usually deleted. Early PB-IWs flew in natural metal, later

changed to overall gloss sea blue with white codes and lettering. PB-IWs

entered Navy service for anti-submarine patrol and maritime

reconnaissance duties in Spring 1946.

26 Jul 45 Struck off charge by USAAF?

Aug 45- 44-83868 assigned to NAMU at Johnsville.

Mar 47

Apr 47-Mar 48 Air Test and Evaluation Squadron No.4 (VX-4), at NAS Quonset Point,2

Rhode Island on the eastern coast of the USA.

Apr 48 Assigned to Air Early Warning Squadron No.1 (VPW-1), Ream Field, San

Ysidro, near San Diego, California, as one of four VX4 Pb1-Ws assigned

to the unit. VPW-1 was the Navy’s first dedicated land based AEW

Squadron, with an authorised strength of six aircraft. Operated in support

of the Pacific Fleet. Due to limited facilities and short runways at Ream

Field, the Squadron moved to nearby NAAS Miramar for operations,

although Ream Field remained its assigned home base.

08 Sep 49- Under overhaul at Naval Air Material Centre (NAMC) Norfolk,

18 Jul 50 Virginia.

21 Jul 50 To VX-4, Patuxent River, Maryland. Carried squadron code ‘XD -5’ on

tail. Generally operated in support of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet.

May-Oct 52 Assigned to Airborne Early Warning Squadron 2 (VW-2) at NAS

Patuxent River, including August-Oct 52 detachment to VW-2

Detachment 1 at Gardamoen, Norway. The former VX-4 had disbanded in

June 1952 and reformed at the same base as VW-2 on 18 Jul 52, still

operating in support of the Atlantic fleet. It provided Airborne Early

Warning, scouting, weather reconnaissance and electronic

countermeasures support.

14 Oct 52- Under overhaul at NAMC Norfolk, Virginia.

19 May 53

03 Jun 53- To VW-2, Patuxent River. The unit retired its last PB1-W in March 1955,

Nov 54 replacing them with PO1-W Constellations.

08 Dec 54- Under overhaul at NAS Norfolk. During US Navy service carried

codes XD-2 and XD-24. Overhaul period ended May 1955.

26 May 55 Withdrawn and stored at NAF Litchfield Park, 20 miles west of Phoenix,

Arizona (where RAFM PBY-6A `L866' was also stored 1953-1957) US

Navy PB-IWs were the last front line US Military B-17s and were replaced

in 1955 by Lockheed WV-2 Constellation Warning Star aircraft.

10 Jul 56 Struck off US Navy charge along with the other remaining 15 US Navy B-

17s at Litchfield Park. (of these 16 aircraft, three survive today). The 16

PB-IWs were sold in three groups. At this time 77233 had logged 3,484

flying hours.

02 Dec 57 77233 was part of the third and final batch of thirteen PB-IWs sold, in this

case to the American Pressed Steel Corporation of Dallas, Texas for

$8,333.33 and given a registration block between N6460D and N6471D,

77233 being allotted N6466D, but this was not taken up - the company

also had a block of registrations between N5225V and N5237V, and

77233 became N5237V on 08 March 1958 when this block was used in

preference.

1958 Twelve of the 13 PB-IW aircraft were ferried from NAF Litchfield Park to

Dallas - Love Field and parked near the Dallas Aero Service ramp on the

north side of the airport and were gradually sold off as civil transports in

South America (6 aircraft) and a US fire bombers (3 aircraft). See article3

and photo of 77233 at Love Field c.1960 carrying basic US Navy colours

with white `2' and `Hell Wagon' Nose Art on starboard nose, and crude

white painted civil registration - AAHS Journal Summer 1964 p.141;

Flypast September 2004 p.44 and 46. Around this time local rumours had

it that these aircraft were earmarked for Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro

in his attempt to overthrow the Batista regime, but when crews arrived to

fly them to Cuba they were prevented by Federal agents. American

Compressed Steel Corporation was later linked with CIA efforts to

smuggle surplus military aircraft to African and South American countries

so perhaps the rumour is not that farfetched. Most of the Love Field PBIWs quickly became derelict until rescued by civil operators in the 1960s.

Two flew to England in 1961 of the filming of `The War Lover' and were

scrapped there in 1962 after filming was completed.

26 Feb 60 Sold to Ashland Corporation of Tucson, Arizona.

07 Jul 60 Sold to Marson Equipment and Salvage Company, also of Tucson, but

remained at Love Field.

27 Sep 61 Sold to Aero Union of Anderson, California along with seven other B-17s

and restored to airworthy condition, despite being sunk up to the axles in

the ground.

c. Nov 61 Ferried to California, still in basic USN markings and colour scheme, with

‘XD’ code on fin.

28 Dec 61 Sold to Calvin Butler of Butler Aircraft Co, Redmond Oregon as Tanker

E15 in United States Forestry Service region 6 (Oregon and Washington

states). Fitted with a 2,200-gallon four-door tank installed for fire

bombing work to drop retardant 24 May 1962. See log books - airframes,

engines and propellers for 1962-83 period. DoRIS Ref.B3249. See also

article by Cpl Butler in Correspondence Files, entry 82.

21 Aug 62 Spray booms installed for aerial spraying.

Transferred through several of Butler’s companies, including the Butler

Rental Company (01 Mar 63); Butler Aircraft Company (29 Dec 1965);

Calvin Butler (29 Dec 1966); Butler Aircraft 06 May 1970, still tailmarked as tanker 15 in May 1971.

27 Jul 67 Accident at Carson, Washington – at 16.30hrs collided with trees whilst

pulling up from run during fire control flight, due to restricted vision

causing substantial damage. This was a fire retardant drop on Gifford

Pinchot National Forest, and visibility was greatly reduced by smoke.

27 Sep 75 Photographed operating from U.S. Forest Service Goleta Air Tanker Base,

Santa Barbara, California whilst being used to fight the Rattlesnake

Canyon fire in Los Padres National Forest. Colour scheme was overall

natural metal; chin turret removed and faired over; nose Plexiglass and tail

gunner’s windows overpainted silver; borate tank fitted into bomb bay and

extending slightly below it. Tail number ‘65’, horizontal tail surface, rear4

fuselage band and nacelle bands all faded Dayglo. See IPMS/USA Update

California when DC-7s replaced the two B-17s in the Butler Aviation

Fleet. Usually dropped a phos-chek or fire-trol water mix fire retardant,

dyed for visibility on the ground. Colour photos as Tanker 65; Flypast

September 2004 p.49 and Flypast May 2009 p.70 (at Hemet, 1980).

During its regularly scheduled meeting held on Monday, June 6, City Council received a summary report on the Preliminary Fiscal Year 2012 Budget, reviewed proposed amendments to the City's architectural design standards, saluted a retiring colleague, and administered the oath of office to four Councilmen.

 

Here are some actions City Council took during the meeting:

 

*Held a swearing-in ceremony for Councilmen Bobby Marshall, of District A, Don Smith, of District B, Robin Elackatt, of District C and Floyd Emery, of District D. Marshall was reelected to a second term in the May 14 General Election; Smith and Elackatt were unopposed in their district races and Emery was elected for his first term in the May 14 referendum. Councilman Brett Kojala, who represented District D for 12 years, has retired.

 

*Presented a special tribute to Councilman Kolaja, featuring proclamations commending his "exemplary service, wise judgment, dedication and experience" from Congressman Al Green, State Sen. Rodney Ellis, State Rep. Charlie Howard, State Sen. Joan Huffman, State Rep. Ron Reynolds, City Council and the Missouri City Police Officers Association.

 

"We can't have a first class City without a first class Mayor and Council; thanks for your first class work," Rep. Green said during his salute to Kolaja, who served six terms. "You were here before there was a toll road and you helped make it possible; you were here before we had some of these improvements to the infrastructure of the City and you helped make them happen; and you're now the Mayor Pro Tem; we are honored by your service." To further recognize Kolaja for his dedication to the citizens and the City, Green gifted the Councilman and his wife, Rebecca, with a flag that has flown over the capitol in Washington, D.C. at the Congressman's request.

 

State Rep. Ron Reynolds, who also attended the celebration and read a declaration from the Texas House of Representatives, hailed Kolaja's "efforts in helping to make the City a better place to live and work. We honor him for his committed public service and wish him continued success."

 

And, on behalf of City Council, Mayor Owen paid homage to Kolaja, touting his record of excellence. Brett has always been dedicated to "the best interests of the community," Owen shared, "and he's worked constantly for the betterment of the economic, cultural and aesthetic development of our City." The Kolajas also received a momentous present from Council-a customized rocking chair the couple will use when spending precious time with their new grandchild.

 

Expressing gratitude for the fond farewell, Kolaja said he was thankful for having had the opportunity to serve the residents of Missouri City, saying, "This has been a tremendous honor and really a blessing." He also credited the City's continued progress to the teamwork of City Council and Staff.

 

*Elected Councilman Jerry Wyatt to serve as Mayor Pro Tem; he will preside over meetings in Mayor Owen's absence.

 

*Received an overview of the Preliminary Fiscal Year 2012 Budget from City Manager Frank Simpson. The $32.1 million blueprint, which would go into effect July 1 if approved by City Council on June 20, includes the following highlights:

*The City fund balance is estimated to be at 21.67 percent, remaining within the 15 percent to 25 percent range of budgeted revenues established by policy. The preliminary 2012 spending plan utilizes $1,273,893 of the fund balance, leaving a surplus of $6,687,852. The fund balance monies will pay for these critical "one time expenditures":

Warrant Officer Class II Walter Peeler VC of the 2/2nd Australian Pioneer Battalion gives eyes right as he leads his Company of ex-prisoners of war past the saluting base where Major C. E. Green, Commanding Officer, 2/4th Machine Gun Battalion, takes the salute at the Phetburi POW Camp. Peeler had previously served in the First World War, and was decorated with the Victoria Cross in 1917.

Enlistment and Syrian Campaign

Warrant Officer Peeler leads his company of ex-prisoners of war in the salute of Major Green, Commanding Officer of 2/4th Machine Gun Battalion.

 

On 27 May 1940, Peeler enlisted in the Second Australian Imperial Force for service in the Second World War,[17][18] giving his date of birth on his enlistment forms as 9 August 1901, thus understating his age by fourteen years.[6][7] At 52, Peeler was twelve years over the maximum age limit, although he later claimed he was not the "oldest fellow in my unit".[7] Granted the acting rank of sergeant, he was allotted to the newly raised 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion.[6] The battalion completed its initial training at Puckapunyal,[19] during which time Peeler was made acting staff sergeant and Company Quartermaster Sergeant of D Company on 1 August.[6][7]

 

On 7 April 1941, the 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion embarked aboard HMT Queen Mary at Sydney, bound for the Middle East; Peeler's rank of staff sergeant was confirmed as substantive on the same day. After just under four weeks at sea, the troopship disembarked at Port Tewfik in Suez, where the battalion entrained for Palestine. There it was attached to the 7th Division in support of the Syrian campaign against Vichy French forces.[6][19]

 

The 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion was initially divided up, with each company attached to a different brigade of the 7th Division. Peeler's D Company—assigned to the 25th Brigade—was originally tasked with the maintenance and general repair of the road network in its locality. However, when the Vichy French launched a counter-attack on 15 June, the battalion was concentrated in the Merdjayoun area in an effort to prevent any further French gains.[19] On the night of 27 June, after a costly assault against the Vichy French at Merdjayoun earlier that day, Peeler led out a patrol to recover the wounded. Four soldiers were discovered and brought back to the Australian lines.[17][20] Despite suffering heavy casualties in Syria, the 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion served throughout the campaign, including participation in the decisive Battle of Damour in July.[19]

 

After the Vichy French defeat in Syria, the 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion was relocated to Tripoli in Libya, where it headquartered itself in an olive grove while carrying out training and garrison duties over the next four months. During November, the battalion was moved to Qatana in Syria, but with the entry of Japan into the war in late 1941, the 6th and 7th Divisions were directed to return to Australia for service in the Pacific theatre.[19] In January 1942, Peeler was among the men of the 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion who embarked aboard HMT Orcades to make the journey back to Australia. He was promoted to Warrant Officer Class II during this time.[6]

Defence of Java and prisoner of war

With the rapid Japanese advance through the Pacific and the fall of Singapore in February 1942, the 3,400 troops aboard Orcades were hastily diverted to Java in the Dutch East Indies.[7][19][21] Disembarking at Batavia on 18 February,[6] Peeler's battalion was combined with the other units aboard Orcades to form Blackforce. This ad hoc grouping, under the command of fellow Victoria Cross holder Brigadier Arthur Seaforth Blackburn, was tasked with defending a series of airfields and supporting the Dutch.[2][22] Blackburn organised his men into a brigade formation, consisting of a headquarters and three infantry battalions—the men of the 2/2nd Pioneers made up the bulk of Blackforce's 2nd Battalion.[23]

 

On 28 February 1942, elements of the Imperial Japanese Army landed on Java.[19][24] Blackforce was stationed at Buitenzorg, poised to advance west to confront the invaders. However, rapid Japanese progress pushed the defending Dutch forces in the opposite direction, and Blackforce was assigned the defence of Buitenzorg and Leuwiliang.[24] As the situation deteriorated further, Blackburn was forced to withdraw his men east on the night of 4/5 March, and again on 7/8 March. On 8 March, the Dutch surrendered, ordering all men to lay down their arms. With supplies running low and unable to contact the Australian Government, Brigadier Blackburn announced the surrender of Blackforce four days later.[25] Peeler and his fellow soldiers thus became prisoners of war. At the time, he was one of three Australian Victoria Cross recipients of the First World War serving overseas, all of whom were "swept up in the Japanese advance";[7] Blackburn surrendered with Peeler at Java, while Walter Ernest Brown was caught up in the fall of Singapore, where he is believed to have been killed attempting to evade capture.[7][26]

 

Peeler was among a contingent of Australian captives transported to work on the Burma Railway.[2][7] Despite the "harsh treatment" meted out by the Japanese,[17] he later played down his ordeal, stating: "I wasn't treated too badly, apart from nearly starving ... But what the Japs did to the others on the railway was pretty horrifying".[7] After three-and-a-half years incarceration, he was freed following the Japanese capitulation in August 1945 and the subsequent liberation of prisoner-of-war camps in the Pacific.[2][17] On 6 October, Peeler embarked for Australia aboard HMS Highland Brigade; he arrived in Melbourne fifteen days later.[6] Back in Australia, he learned that his son, Donald, had been killed in action on the island of Bougainville on 31 December 1944, while serving with the 15th Battalion.[2][27][28] Donald Peeler was posthumously Mentioned in Despatches for his "distinguished service in the South-West Pacific Area".[29] Warrant Officer Class II Walter Peeler was discharged from the Second Australian Imperial Force on 12 December 1945.[18]

Later life and legacy

Peeler resumed his duties as custodian of the Shrine of Remembrance on his discharge, guiding visitors around the memorial.[2][30] In the 1961 Queen's Birthday Honours, his "long and dedicated service" at the Shrine was recognised with the award of the British Empire Medal.[30][31] He retired three years later at the age of 76, stating: "It's time I had a rest."[30] In 1966, Peeler was interviewed for a newspaper article; when queried on his Victoria Cross exploit, he recalled:[32]

 

My wartime experiences are nothing to make a splash about ... I'm just an ex-soldier who did his job. I never saw the faces of those I killed. They were just men in an enemy uniform. It was simply them or me. I don't think I was brave—not any more than the other Aussies who were with me. I simply had a job to do and I did it ... Only afterwards did I realise how lucky I'd been not to get killed myself.

—Walter Peeler

 

On 23 May 1968, Peeler died at his home in South Caulfield, Victoria. Survived by his wife, Kathleen, and their four remaining children, he was buried in Brighton Cemetery. Kathleen died the following year.[2][17] Peeler is commemorated in the Victorian Garden of Remembrance, and a soldiers' club in Casula, New South Wales, bears his name.[30] His Victoria Cross and other medals are on display in the Hall of Valour at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.

During its regularly scheduled meeting held on Monday, June 6, City Council received a summary report on the Preliminary Fiscal Year 2012 Budget, reviewed proposed amendments to the City's architectural design standards, saluted a retiring colleague, and administered the oath of office to four Councilmen.

Rodney Ellis, State Rep. Charlie Howard, State Sen. Joan Huffman, State Rep. Ron Reynolds, City Council and the Missouri City Police Officers Association.

 

"We can't have a first class City without a first class Mayor and Council; thanks for your first class work," Rep. Green said during his salute to Kolaja, who served six terms. "You were here before there was a toll road and you helped make it possible; you were here before we had some of these improvements to the infrastructure of the City and you helped make them happen; and you're now the Mayor Pro Tem; we are honored by your service." To further recognize Kolaja for his dedication to the citizens and the City, Green gifted the Councilman and his wife, Rebecca, with a flag that has flown over the capitol in Washington, D.C. at the Congressman's request.

Kapitein B. van Oosten van de Lieve Vrouwekerk.

De Raad voor de Scheepvaart gaf hem een berisping voor het laten stranden van de Lieve Vrouwekerk.

 

Volgend de hele uitspraak van de Raad voor de Scheepvaart:

 

Raad voor de Scheepvaart.

 

Nr. 39. Staats Courant No. 100 van 25 mei 1960.

 

Uitspraak van de Raad voor de Scheepvaart inzake de stranding van het stoomschip "Lieve Vrouwekerk" op Vlieland.

 

Betrokkene: de kapitein.

 

Op 20 januari 1960 is het stoomschip "Lieve Vrouwekerk" op de reis van Hamburg naar Antwerpen gestrand op de kust van Vlieland.

Het onderzoek heeft plaatsgevonden ter zitting van 14 april 1960; in tegenwoordigheid van de hoofdinspecteur voor de scheepvaart.

De raad nam kennis van de stukken van het voorlopig onderzoek der Scheepvaartinspectie, waarbij een proces-verbaal van het verhoor van de kapitein, zomede van de te Rotterdam afgelegde scheepsverklaring. enige verklaringen van de 1ste en de 2de stuurman, een brief van Rijkswaterstaat, directie Friesland, met een situatieschets, een strandingrapport met proces-verbaal van het loodswezen 2de district, een stel radionavigatieberichten en afschriften van de gewisselde telegrammen, benevens een foto, het scheepsdagboek en het journaal radiotelegrafie/telefonie en de Nederlandse kaart nr. 226: Nederlandse en Duitse kust van IJmuiden tot de Weser, en hoorde de kapitein als betrokkene, buiten ede. '

De kapitein had zijn verdediging opgedragen aan kapitein W. F. H. Burger.

 

Uit deze bescheiden is' de raad het volgende gebleken:'

Het stoomschip “Lieve Vrouwekerk" is een Nederlands schip, toebehorende aan de N.V. Vereenigde Nederlandsche Scheepvaart Maatschappij te ‘s-Gravenhage.

Het schip is gebouwd in 1944 te New Orleans. Het meet 7254 brutoregisterton en wordt voortbewogen door een 2500 pk triple- expansie-stoommachine. Het schip is uitgerust met radiorichtingzoeker, echo- lood, radar en gyrokompas.

De kapitein heeft verklaard, dat de "Lieve Vrouwekerk" op 18 januari 1960. te 23.20 uur, van Hamburg vertrok met bestemming Antwerpen. De bemanning bestond. inclusief de kapitein, uit 39 personen; de echtgenote, van de kapitein bevond zich als passagier aan boord. De kapitein vaart

sinds oktober 1958 als zodanig.

 

Het, schip voer in ballast; de diepgang was voor 7'11" en achter 16'02". ( ‘= voet “ = inch)

Op 19 januari 1960, te 7.16 uur, werd de loods bij Elbe II ontscheept.

Het was aanvankelijk ruw weer geweest, maar tijdens het varen op de Elbe was het beter geworden. De wind was nu W.Z.W. 3, men ondervond sneeuwbuien en het zicht was matig. Daar de weerberichten van Nordeich en Scheveningen niet verontrustend luidden, besloot de kapitein de binnen- route langs de Waddeneilanden te nemen. Gedurende de dag wakkerde de wind aan tot kracht 6 à 7 en op de E.W. ondervond men buien met windkracht 7 tot 8 uit het Z.W.

Men had matig hoge zee en deining. Het schip stampte en slingerde en de machine sloeg door. Wanneer de diepgang achter 19'06" is, is de schroef geheel onder water.

Het schip luisterde evenwel goed naar zijn roer en het kon zonder grote moeite op koers worden gehouden. Op 19 januari moest te 21.48 uur de machine worden gestopt om een losgewerkte olieleiding te voorzien; te 21.50 uur kon weer volle kracht worden gedraaid.

Te 20.26 uur werd Terschellinger Bank-vuurschip aan bakboord gepasseerd. Te 23.45 uur boei E.T. 7 en op 20 januari, te 01.07 uur, boei E.T. 6.

Daar de weerberichten niet ongunstig luidden, vervolgde de kapitein zijn reis. Het weerbericht van 18 januari 20.30 uur G.M.T. sprak van decreasing wind en dat van 19 januari, 2.30 uur G.M.T., eveneens.

Volgens de weerberichten zou men de wind op de kop krijgen. Het weerbericht van 19 januari, 20.48 uur, was ongunstiger.

 

De kapitein besloot zijn voorgenomen route te vervolgen; het schip zou na het passeren van boei E.T. 5 in ruimer water komen. Het had geen zin terug te keren, daar het schip ook dan stijf onder de wal zou blijven. De koers tussen Terschellinger Bank-vuurschip en boei E.T. 7 was ongeveer 2240. Wegens het inzettende tij en de inzettende wind werd 2400 à 2500 gestuurd.

Op 20 januari, te 02.30 uur, ruimde de wind bij een invallende bui plotseling naar west en nam in kracht toe tot orkaansterkte. De kop van het schip viel af naar bakboord en men kon ondanks hard stuurboord-roer niet verder terugkomen dan 2000

Het schip verlijerde snel door wind en stroom. De kapitein liet de ankers klaarmaken en liet alarm maken.

 

Te 02.44 uur werd stuurboord anker gepresenteerd en even daarna bakboor anker: van beide liet men 90 vaam ketting uitlopen. De vuurtoren van Eijerland werd toen 164°, die van Vlieland Vuurduin 78° gepeild. De kapitein liet een alarmsein uitzenden en vroeg sleepboothulp aan. De kapitein liet reddings- en veiligheidsheidsmiddelen voor onmiddellijk gebruik gereedmaken. Door middel van zicht- en radarpeilingen werd controle gehouden op de ankerpeiling; er werd een wacht bij de ankers geplaatst. Het schip stampte, slingerde en gierde hevig achter de ankers; er kwam water over dek en luiken. Te 04.15 uur bemerkte men, dat het schip naar de wal verdreef; de kettingen werden beide bijgestoken tot 120 vaam. Daarna hielden de ankers weer.

Met hand- en Thomsonlood loodde men 11 vaam water. Door de grote kracht slipten de kettingen door de bandstoppers. Dit werd voorkomen door het spil in zijn werk te zetten een weinig tegenstoom bij te zetten.

 

De kapitein trachtte door machine-roermanoeuvres de kracht op de kettingen te verminderen. De wind bleef doorstaan met orkaankracht en er kwamen harde buien uit westelijke noordwestelijke richting. Het schip bleef zwaar stampen slingeren en gieren.

Toen contact werd verkregen met de sleepboot "Holland", werd de verzocht in de buurt te blijven om hulp te kunnen bieden indien dit nodig mocht blijken. Te 08.00 uur bleek, dat het schip weer begon te verdrijven. Toen de kapitein de sleepboot vroeg of er een kans was om vast te maken antwoordde deze, dat men meer daglicht wilde afwachten om de situatie beter te kunnen overzien. Te 10.00 uur verzocht de kapitein de sleepboot vast te maken. Deze adviseerde om ten anker te blijven liggen totdat ,weersomstandigheden zouden zijn verbeterd.

Te 10.02 uur werd scheepsraad gehouden; hierbij waren de stuurlieden,

hoofdwerktuigkundige enige vertegenwoordigers van de scheepsgezellen tegenwoordig. Hier werd besloten om de kettingen zo ver in te hieuwen, dat men kon trachten met vol vermogen met krabbende ankers uit de wal stomen. Kort nadat men begon te hieuwen, werd het spil door de daarop komende grote krachten zodanig beschadigd, dat het niet meer was te gebruiken.

Te 11.00 uur liet de kapitein een noodsein uitzenden. Vanaf 11 uur werd met vol vermogen achter de ankers gedraaid. Het was door hoge zee, de wind en de stroom niet mogelijk recht achter de ankers te blijven. Vaak stonden de kettingen dwarsop. Het schip verdreef steeds meer naar de wal; uit peilingen bleek, dat het met laagwater al aan de grond zou komen.

De kapitein gaf order ruim 5 via de lensleiding te laten oplopen de voorste dieptank ook. Door de grote stuurlast liep de voorste dieptanks niet op. Te 12.30 uur loodde men ongeveer 5 vaam water. Te 12.37 uur peilde men door middel van de radar de observatiepost van Vlieland 95° en toren van Eierland 199°.

De kapitein besloot te t3.00 uur bij hoogwater de ankers te laten slippen en uit de wal weg te stomen. Te 13.07 uur toen het schip recht op de zee en de wind kwam te liggen in koers 2900 waarbij nog steeds volle kracht vooruit werd gedraaid en toen de wind iets af scheen te nemen, liet men beide ankers slippen. Kort daarna werd het schip echter door een zware zee uit zijn koers geslagen en men kon het niet weer op koers terugbrengen; het bleef dwars op de wind en de zee liggen.

Te 13.15 uur raakte het schip voor het eerst de grond; nadat de machine was gestopt sloegen wind en zee het schip te 13.18 uur dwars op het strand. Op de strandingplaats peilde men de toren van Eierland 194° en de observatiepost Vlieland 68°.

De kapitein liet een noodsein uitzenden. Men hoorde dat wegens het hoge water een poging om de opvarenden door middel van het wippertoestel van boord te halen moest worden uitgesteld. Het schip lag over de gehele lengte geboeid, het maakte geen water. Uit vrees voor beschadiging der ketels door het stoten liet men deze te 19.30 uur afzetten. Gedurende de E.W. van 20 januari kreeg het schip 10° slagzij over bakboord; in deze positie is het blijven liggen. Op 21 januari zijn tussen 04.00 uur en 05.00 uur schepelingen en de vrouw van de kapitein van boord gegaan; ze konden van de loodsladder op het strand stappen.

 

Het schip is gestrand bij paal 37 op 53°13'52" N.B. en 4°52'50" O.L.

De verklaringen van 1ste stuurman en de 2de stuurman komen geheel overeen met die van de kapitein.

Ter zitting verklaarde de kapitein, in aanvulling op zijn, bij het voorzoek afgelegde verklaring, dat de “Lieve Vrouwekerk" in totaal ongeveer 1000 ton stookolie kon bergen en bij vertrek 523 ton aan boord had.

In Rotterdam had betrokkene daarover met de rederij gesproken. Daar het mogelijk was, dat in de havens van Antwerpen, Bremen, Hamburg en Rotterdam, zoveel zware lading zou worden ingenomen, dat het schip tot op zijn merk zou worden afgeladen, werd het beter geoordeeld niet meer dan 523 ton bij vertrek aan boord te hebben, een hoeveelheid, die ruim voldoende was tot de volgende bunkerhaven, Gibraltar.

  

Wat het ballastwater betreft, voerde betrokkene aan, dat weliswaar in dieptanks in ruim 1 ongeveer 700 ton had kunnen worden ingenomen, maar dat daardoor de stuurlast zoveel minder zou zijn geworden, dat de schroef nog minder onder water zou zijn gekomen dan nu. Betrokkene die ook als

stuurman veel op Libertyschepen heeft gevaren, is van mening, dat "Lieve Vrouwekerk" op de normale wijze voor een Libertyschip was gebalast.

De hoofdinspecteur voor de scheepvaart voerde aan, dat de stranding van de "Lieve Vrouwekerk" veel lijkt op die van de “Lindekerk", waarop de raad een uitspraak gaf op 29 mei 1958. Toen merkte de raad op, een Libertyschip onder bepaalde toestanden van ballasten niet geheel zeewaardig kan worden genoemd. De "Lieve Vrouwekerk" kan voor een reis in de winter van Hamburg naar Antwerpen, zoals zij op 19 januari 1960 vertrok, ook niet geheel zeewaardig worden genoemd. Zij had anders kunnen worden geballast. Haar diepgang was nu voor 7'11" en achter 16'02". Indien de dieptanks in ruim 1 zouden zijn gevuld, zou het schip achter wel iets zijn gelicht, maar het zou vóór aanmerkelijk dieper hebben gelegen. Ook indien het schip vol zou zijn gebunkerd, zou het beter hebben gelegen.

 

Korte tijd nadat de “Lindekerk" is gestrand, vond deze stranding plaats, van een schip, dat ook weer voer op een wijze als de raad destijds afkeurde.

De kapitein heeft blijkbaar de routine, die bij de rederij bestond, gevolgd.

Bij vertrek van Hamburg spraken de weerberichten wel van gales, maar dit was geen reden om de reis niet voort te zetten en niet te vertrekken.

De kapitein is mede verantwoordelijk voor het handhaven van de vaarschema's, ook indien hij een minder zeewaardig schip voert.

Het weerbericht, dat ontvangen werd ter hoogte van Elbe Il, sprak al van windkracht 8. Zodra de wind nog iets sterker wordt gaat de bestuurbaarheid van een geballast Libertyschip erg achteruit. Bij de Weser gekomen, had de kapitein de keuze tussen 2 routes.

Het is uit veiligheidsoverwegingen beter de buitenroute te kiezen. Toen werd echter nog niet gesproken over de orkaan, die de volgende morgen zou opsteken. De binnenroute is veel korter; op de buitenroute kan een orkaan ook zeer ernstig zijn.

Nadat Terschellinger Bank-vuurschip was gepasseerd en het schip op weg was naar E.T. 7, kreeg men bericht, dat storm werd verwacht. Het was toen noodzakelijk om uit de wal te blijven. Het nalaten daarvan was een fout van de kapitein. Hij hoopte wellicht, dat alles nog wel mee zou vallen, en hij wilde geen tijd verliezen. Het schip is onbestuurbaar geworden, is ten anker gegaan, maar men heeft niet kunnen voorkomen, dat het strandde.

De hoofdinspecteur heeft geen bezwaar tegen de handelwijze van de kapitein nadat het schip ten anker was gegaan; de kapitein heeft die laatste uren met goede zeemanschap gehandeld. Die zware storm is plotseling opgestoken.

De hoofdinspecteur heeft niet veel aanmerkingen op het beleid van de kapitein. De kapitein is er wel medeschuldig aan, dat zulke reizen worden gemaakt met schepen, die feitelijk onzeewaardig zijn.

Het schip was bij wind- kracht 8 al niet meer goed bestuurbaar. Er is gevaar ontstaan voor het schip en de opvarenden.

De hoofdinspecteur stelt de raad voor de kapitein wegens diens schuld aan de stranding te straffen door het uitspreken van een berisping.

De raadsman, hierna het woord krijgende, voert aan, dat de “Lindekerk" destijds in een veel ongunstiger toestand voer: dat schip had vrijwel geen bunkerolie aan boord. Indien er ballast was ingenomen in de voor- dieptanks, zou de schroef nog minder diep hebben gestoken.

Het innemen van nog 500 ton bunkerolie zou de diepgang met slechts 10 duim hebben vergroot.

De storm van 20 januari is van bijzondere sterkte geweest. De kapitein kon dit niet verwachten, ook niet toe hij bij E.T. 7 dat weerbericht ontving.

De raadsman wijst er nog op, dat Libertyschepen in ballast onhandelbare schepen zijn. De stranding zou niet zijn voorkomen, indien meer ballast zou zijn ingenomen.

 

Het oordeel van de raad luidt als volgt:

De raad is van mening, dat de 'kapitein de buitenroute had moeten nemen,

De kapitein meende weliswaar, dat de "Lieve Vrouwekerk" geballast ook bij wind van sterkte 7 nog goed bestuurbaar zou zijn, maar hij wist ook, dat dit bij sterker winden weleens minder goed kon zijn, en, ook wist hij, dat een schip in de binnenroute zeer weinig ruimte had voor zijn manoeuvres wanneer stormweer zou opkomen.

 

Toen de kapitein na het passeren van Terschellinger Bank-vuurschip het weerbericht van 19 januari 18.48 uur ontving, een bericht, dat windkrachten van 9 tot 10 noemde, had hij, zodra het vaarwater hem de gelegenheid daartoe bood, dus zeker te 01.07 uur, toen hij boei E.T. 6 passeerde, uit de kust moeten sturen om zo ver mogelijk uit de lager wal te geraken.

De kapitein liet dit na; hij vervolgde zijn reis in de E.T.-route totdat het schip bij de zeer zware bui, die te 02.30 inviel, onbestuurbaar bleek te zijn geworden.

De kapitein besloot ten anker te gaan om op deze wijze een stranding op Vlieland te voorkomen.

Hij heeft er niet aan gedacht om te trachten door achteruitdraaien uit de wal te blijven. Vaak is gebleken, dat een schip, dat dreigde op lager wal te geraken, daarvan is gered door de machine achteruit te laten werken; het achterschip zal daarbij de richting van de wind zoeken.

De ankers hebben niet gehouden, een sleepboot kon niet tijdig vastmaken en ondanks verschillende pogingen om het schip weer in ruim water te brengen, is het te 13.18 uur gestrand op de kust van Vlieland, waar het in een noord- oostelijke koers vastraakte.

De raad is van mening, dat de kapitein na het ontschepen van de loods had moeten besluiten de buitenroute te volgen, gelet op de dalende barometer en de daarbij komende minder gunstige weerberichten, mede in verband met het ongunstig geballaste schip en het betrekkelijk zwakke machinevermogen.

Nu hij dit had nagelaten en bij Terschellinger Bank het weerbericht van 18.48 uur ontving, had hij zo spoedig mogelijk de ruimte moeten kiezen.

De plotselinge toeneming van de storm tof orkaankracht in de vroege morgen van 20 januari was weliswaar zwaarder dan de kapitein uit de ontvangen weerberichten had kunnen verwachten, maar indien hij de hiervóór genoemde maatregelen had getroffen, zou het zeer waarschijnlijk mogelijk zijn geweest om ook bij deze zware storm een stranding te voorkomen.

De raad heeft geen bezwaar tegen de maatregelen, die de kapitein na 01.15 uur heeft getroffen.

De raad is van oordeel, dat de stranding van de "Lieve Vrouwekerk" te wijten is aan de schuld van de kapitein, en mitsdien straft de raad de kapitein door het uitspreken van een berisping .

Hi people on Flickr, this is my first post, so I figured it should be something cool. This is my wish list for a DC Comics Super Heroes line of figures. I chose characters I liked, characters with cool designs, and characters we haven't gotten yet.

 

1. Mera - I know that we just got a Mera from the new Aquaman sets, but I'm not a big fan of it. Her costume in the comics is far better in my opinion, and would make for a better figure. Her accessories would be a trident and a power blast piece in light blue.

2. Batman Beyond - Honestly I'm surprised we have yet to get this figure, but here he is. His accessories would be a Batarang and Ace the Bathound from 2099.

3. Spoiler - Her accessories would be two eskrima sticks.

4. Black Canary - Yes she came in LBM Series 2, but that was her classic comics design. I think it would be much cooler to get this design or her newer Rebirth design with the light blue shirt. Her accessories would be a staff and a megaphone.

5. Booster Gold - I would take this design or his classic design, but this is the best picture I found of him. I have no clue how this figure isn't on shelves yet but maybe someday. His accessories would be Skeets and a power blast piece in yellow.

6. Val-Zod - An obscure character, but an awesome looking one. I'm not sure what accessories I would give him.

7. Dr. Fate - I love the Khalid version, but the classic would work as well. His accessories would be magic pieces, like Dr. Strange's.

8. Kyle Rayner - What an awesome design for a character. His accessories would be a ring and a lantern.

9. Harley Quinn - We have gotten so many Harley's, but the Rebirth design is my favorite. Her accessories would be a hammer and a gun.

10. Huntress - She has a new design in Rebirth, but this was always my favorite design for her. Her accessories would be a crossbow and an arrow.

11. Jay Garrick - His accessories would be power blast pieces in yellow and a brown or grey hairpiece.

12. Atom - While I'd like to see Ray Palmer as well, Ryan Choi is more current. His accessories would be a shrink ray and an

smaller version of Atom piece.

13. Vixen - A figure who looks very different from the SDCC exclusive. Her accessories would be two claw pieces.

14. Shazam - Based on his New 52 or Rebirth costume, Shazam would come with two blue power blast pieces as his accessories.

15. Powergirl - Of course LEGO wouldn't go with a costume as *ahem* provocative as this, but still a great character to bring to LEGO. I'm not sure what accessories to give her.

16. Kid Flash - His accessories would be two red power blast pieces.

17. Static - His accessories would be two lightning pieces and a manhole cover for him to fly on.

18. Superboy - A LEGO version of Superboy has recently been revealed for the Lego DC Supervillains game, and he looks really cool! The only accessory I can think of for him is an updated Krypto the Superdog.

19. Aqualad - His accessories can be two light saber hilts with water pieces coming out of them.

20. Wally West - Probably my favorite DC character of all time, so I would love it if he made it to a DC CMF. His accessories would be two light blue power blast pieces.

21. John Constantine - His accessories would be a lighter piece and two fire pieces for his hands (like Dr. Strange's from the Infinity War sets.)

22. Zatanna - Her accessories would be a wand and a spellbook.

 

I know it was a long list, but this is a series I would love to see sometime in the future. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! :)

Harold Larwood's life embodied drama and romance given to few cricketers. One of the rare fast bowlers in the game's long history to spread terror in opposition ranks by the mere mention of his name, he was, in turn, a young tearaway breaking free in the 1920s from a life in the Nottinghamshire coalmines; an English ogre and villain who bowled bumpers (as the bouncer was then called) at the heads and bodies of Australian batsmen; a `disgraced' hero banished to obscurity; and eventually a post-war migrant welcomed to Sydney in 1950 with his wife and family, the warmth of acceptance by those once so hostile to this aggressor proving both touching and slightly incomprehensible to him.

 

There was one further phase. As the year lived in Australia came to equal those spent in his native England, Larwood became something of a curiosity, still generously receiving pilgrims and journalists at his Kingsford home, even though his eyesight failed in later years. And when British Prime Minister John Major gave Larwood's cricket achievement belated recognition by awarding him the MBE in 1993, his picture made the newspapers again, together with characteristic quotes from the old fast bowler as he contemplated the changes that had overtaken cricket in the many years since he was headline news himself. Scoffing at the amount of protective gear worn by modern batsmen, Larwood described them as `trussed up like turkeys' and asserted that they `should stand up and be counted like men'.

 

Larwood, who died in hospital in Sydney on July 22, aged 90, was the key figure in the never-to-be-allowed-to-be-forgotten `Bodyline' Test series of 1932-33, when England's supercilious, icy and provocative captain Douglas Jardine instructed him to bowl what they both insisted on calling ` leg theory' at the Australian batsmen. With Bill Voce, his hefty Notts team-mate, bowling fast left-arm from the other end, `Lol' Larwood spearheaded England to a 4-1 series victory, taking 33 wickets at just under 20 apiece as batsmen ducked, weaved and skipped, the heavy concentration of vulture-like leg-side fielders ready for catches from hurried defensive jabs.

 

Larwood's classical action, copied by countless schoolboys - including Ray Lindwall in Sydney - culminated in a side-on delivery, the ball's velocity touching the highest ever recorded

 

Don Bradman, the prime target was reduced to comparative mediocrity with an average of 56 - he had made 974 runs (at 139.14) in England in the previous Ashes series of 1930- with Larwood hurrying him into indiscretions and taking his wicket four times in eight Test innings (and twice in the only other match in which they were in opposition, the Australian XI match at Melbourne before the First Test).

 

In the Adelaide Test, Australian exasperation reached white heat as the captain, Bill Woodfull, was struck stunningly over the heart by a lifting ball from Larwood- whose captain cynically switched to the Bodyline field as soon as Woodfull was able to continue - and Bert Oldfield suffered a fracture when edging another Larwood delivery onto his temple. Mounted police mustered behind the pavilion as the masses of spectators hooted and jeered and threatened to storm the field.

 

Woodfull later made some terse remarks to the sheepish MCC manager P. F. Warner, and the Australian Cricket Board fired off a cable to Lord's, protesting at the English bowling tactics. The respective governments were drawn into the controversy, but financial considerations saw to it that the series was played out, and Larwood even heard himself cheered wildly by the Sydney crowd in the final Test as he walked off after scoring 98 as nightwatchman batsman. The worst of the personal vilification was behind him, and some humour even emerged from the battleground. Lines from a popular contemporary revue ran: `Oh, they'd be a lot calmer in Ned Kelly's armour/When Larwood the wrecker begins.'

 

He finished with a painfully damaged foot, but Jardine would not let him leave the field until Bradman was dismissed, the fast bowler's continuing presence serving as a depressant to Australia. The two principal adversaries left the field together, neither speaking.

 

Larwood never played for England again. Welcomed home as a popular hero, he soon found that `diplomacy' was at work. At Lord's members of the MCC committee had begun to understand the cause of Australian indignation. That cricket had been damaged was becoming obvious to all but the blindly partisan. Moves to outlaw the leg-side field-setting, if not the short-pitched fast ball, were instituted. And a letter of apology was drawn up for signature by Harold Larwood, the arch-exponent of Bodyline. Since he had been bowling to orders and believed in his heart that there was nothing sinister in his method of attack, he refused to sign the letter. His Test career was over at 28.

 

The broken left foot prevented him from bowling in 1933, but when Woodfull's 1934 team landed in England, speculation was high. Would Larwood resume combat with the Australians? Overlooked for the First Test allegedly because of a bruised foot, he spared the selectors any dilemma by stating before the Lord's Test: `I refuse to play in any more Tests. Politicians are trying to hound me out of cricket. I was fit for the last Test. They feared I would burst the Empire.'

 

He took 82 cheap wickets for Notts that summer, and over 100 in 1935 and 1936, topping the national bowling averages in 1936 for the fifth time in his life, a deed unmatched by any other fast bowler. England had clearly denied themselves a great talent.

 

Captain Jardine, architect of the Bodyline upheaval, paid no penalty, led England in India a year later, and declared himself unwilling to play against Australia again.

 

Harold was the fourth of five sons presented to miner Robert Larwood by his wife. He was born in Nuncargate, Notts on Nov 14, 1904 (precisely the same day as future Archbishop of Canterbury, Michael Ramsey). Larwood left school at 13 and worked in a shop before becoming a pit-boy, working with the ponies. The teenaged fast bowler showed distinct promise in village and junior league matches, and at 19 he was signed by Nottinghamshire.

 

In 20 matches in 1925 he took 73 wickets and frightened a few batsmen, and the following year found him playing his First Test, against Australia at Lord's where he dismissed Charlie Macartney, Jack Gregory and Herby Collins. England's captain was Arthur Carr, who was also Larwood's county skipper, a tough, uncompromising man who had most to do with developing and encouraging this bright new talent.

 

Larwood was not chosen again until the final Test, when England regained the Ashes at the Oval from an ageing Australian combination. The home team recalled 48-year-old spinner Wilfred Rhodes, and with Hobbs and Sutcliffe making high-class centuries, victory was achieved by 289 runs. Young Larwood captured six wickets.

 

Around 5ft 8ins, but strongly-built with wide shoulders and long arms, he had a smooth, rhythmic approach and a high arm action. His speed was truly exceptional, and because of his lack of height, his bouncer tended to skid, veering into the ribs rather than wastefully over the head. The schoolboy Ray Lindwall drew upon this action after watching through the pickets at the SCG in 1932-33. In more recent times, the Pakistan express bowler Waqar Younis has had much of Larwood's movement about his run-up and delivery. Larwood's stock ball snapped in from the off, and in days when leg-before dismissals could be granted only from balls that pitched between wicket and wicket, he was denied many a dismissal that would have been given to succeeding generations of bowlers.

 

There is a macabre tendency to assess fast bowlers' potency by the injuries they inflict. Larwood always claimed that he never tried to hit a batsman - though legend has it that he and Voce bet each other a packet of fags over who would be first to strike an Indian batsman on the turban in 1932. (Beer and cigarettes, incidentally, were Larwood's staple intake during intervals.) Among batsmen who sustained serious injury from Larwood's thunderbolts were Reg Sinfield of Gloucestershire, the South African `Jock' Cameron, and Patsy Hendren, a seasoned exponent of the hook shot. All were stretchered off unconscious. Scores of others suffered breaks and bruises in the line of Larwood's fire, and many a batsman in county cricket discovered minor ailments that necessitated their withdrawal before matches against Nottinghamshire.

 

In 1927, Larwood embarked on a marriage which was to last into its seventh decade, and in 1928, after two Test appearances that summer against West Indies, he went to Australia with Percy Chapman's 1928-29 side and was part of a highly successful campaign in which Wally Hammond made 905 runs in the five Tests, and Larwood led off with 6 for 32 in Australia's opening innings, at Brisbane's Exhibition Ground, in a match won by England by a massive margin, 675 runs. It was Don Bradman's maiden Test, bringing onto the stage the two central characters of the drama four years ahead.

 

Larwood impressed as a lower-order batsman and as a fieldsman on this first Australian tour of his, and he gained his 18 Test wickets with fast, straight bowling and admirable stamina. Injuries continued to interrupt his progress, but he always fought his way back to fitness, even though illness cost him an appearance in the 1930 Lord's Test against Australia. This was Bradman's season. He gathered, swiftly, 974 runs in his seven Test innings, and Larwood, who took only four wickets in his three Tests that summer, got the 21-year-old champion out only once, for 232 at the Oval- and that was a dubious decision.

 

England were left in no doubt as to the problem facing them when next they toured Australia. With a triple-century, two double-centuries and an `ordinary' century under his belt in the 1930 Tests, what might the `Boy from Bowral' do on his hard pitches at home?

 

Thus Bodyline was conceived. England wicketkeeper George Duckworth observed an uncertainty in Bradman's batting at the Oval when rain freshened the pitch and the ball flew. Notts captain Arthur Carr had significant input into the planning of the leg-side attack, and actually had Larwood and Voce staging rehearsals against hapless county opposition. `Cricket's Hiroshima' thus came to pass.

 

With the acrimonious 1932-33 Test series proving to be his last, Larwood finished with a Test record of 78 wickets, average 28.36, in his 21 appearances, and for a further four years he inflicted misery on the lives of English county batsmen until his body finally gave in to the punishment of the years. He took in all 1427 first-class wickets at only 17.52, and there were three centuries among his 438 innings (average 19.92).

 

He had put his name to a book, Bodyline?, which was both a narrative of the Test tour and a wholehearted attempt at justification of the English tactics, and some uncompromising articles appeared under his name in newspapers upon his return home in 1933. But after retirement from cricket, Harold Larwood entered willingly into a secluded obscurity, playing league cricket briefly for Blackpool, then becoming a grower of flowers and vegetables. After the Second World War he bought a confectionery shop in Blackpool, and in 1950, now with five daughters, he and wife Lois decided to join the mass exodus of the disillusioned from war-fatigued Britain. They sailed to Sydney on none other than Orontes, the vessel which had taken Jardine's MCC side to Australia in 1932.

 

Initially they stayed in a hotel, with half the bill, as Larwood later discovered, being paid by former Prime Minister Ben Chifley, one of the fast bowler's numerous unexpected admirers. Jack Fingleton later described with amusement how the broad Australian and Nottingham accents rendered conversation between these two humble men mutually unintelligible.

 

Larwood found employment in a soft-drinks factory, and soon warmed to the egalitarianism of Australian life. He was deeply affected also by the readiness with which he was accepted by old cricket opponents as well as total strangers. Though he never lost his native accent and always spoke nostalgically of England, he knew and repeatedly acknowledged that Australia was the place for him.

 

Just before leaving England, he had passed the time of day with Don Bradman at the 1948 tour farewell dinner, and a year later there was further balm in the form of honorary membership of MCC. Years later he was even elected to life membership of the SCG, scene of some of his most stirring deeds.

 

He told his story in detail, in a book prepared by Kevin Perkins, in 1965. He joined studio discussions during nocturnal broadcasts of Ashes Test matches from England. Occasionally he lent his name to newspaper pieces. On the 50th anniversary of the Bodyline Tests he expressed the opinion that Ian Botham was `over-rated': `The way he's been bowling out here, he wouldn't burst a paper bag.' A few months ago he enjoyed a visit from Darren Gough, and telephoned later to congratulate him on his 6 for 49 in the Sydney Test.

 

Harold Larwood, the former 100 miles-per-hour bowler, would dip into his trunkful of memorabilia to oblige visiting admirers. Always he made sure they laid eyes on his presentation ashtray from Douglas Jardine, which symbolised the greatest of his many achievements on the cricket field. It is inscribed `To Harold for the Ashes - 1932-33 From a grateful Skipper'.

David Wilson Boswell (b. January 20, 1945 – d. June 11, 2012 at age 67) was a right-handed pitcher who spent eight seasons in Major League Baseball, all in the American League, with the Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers, and Baltimore Orioles. He won twenty games as a starting pitcher during the 1969 Minnesota Twins season, the only time he achieved the feat during his major league career.

 

Boswell graduated from Calvert Hall College High School in 1963. He drew the interest of several major league teams. One was the hometown Orioles who had ranked him and Wally Bunker as the two best pitching prospects in the country. Not able to afford giving each of them huge signing bonuses, the ballclub only signed Bunker after being disappointed by Boswell's performance during his senior year. Boswell eventually signed with the Twins for US $15,000. Even though the New York Yankees had offered the same amount of money, he decided that his chances to make the majors were better with Minnesota.

 

After debuting with the Twins in 1965, Boswell pitched for the Twins in the team's World Series loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 1966, Boswell's .706 winning percentage (based on a 12–5 record) led the American League. Following a 1969 game against the Detroit Tigers, Boswell got into a fight with teammate Bob Allison and Manager Billy Martin outside the Lindell AC bar near Tiger Stadium. After knocking out Allison with one punch, Boswell was in turn knocked out by Martin, resulting in a cut that required 20 stitches. Despite the off-field injury, Boswell would win 20 games in 1969, helping the Twins win the American League West.

 

During the American League Championship Series, Boswell lost 1–0 in 11 innings to Baltimore Orioles pitcher Dave McNally. He later revealed that he had suffered a career-ending arm injury during the game on a slider thrown to strike out slugger Frank Robinson in the bottom of the 10th.

 

After being released by the Twins following the 1970 season, Boswell briefly played for the Detroit Tigers and the Baltimore Orioles during the 1971 season.

 

Boswell was the losing pitcher in Catfish Hunter's perfect game on May 8, 1968.

"Sir Joseph Banks, Bt. by Sir Joshua Reynolds 1771-1773

50 in. x 40 in. (1270 mm x 1015 mm) overall, NPG 5868

 

When this portrait was painted Banks was enjoying considerable acclaim for his part in Cook’s Pacific voyage in the Endeavour in 1768-71. Boswell had met ‘the famous Mr Banks’ in March 1772, ‘a genteel young man, very black, and of an agreeable countenance, easy and communicative, without any affectation’, [1] and Reynolds was already familiar with his remarkable botanical and ethnographical collections. In 1772 Banks was invited to accompany Cook’s second Pacific voyage (perhaps the first reason for the inclusion of the Horace quotation, cras ingens iterabimus aequor), [2] but in May he withdrew, following his impractical demands for space on board. [3]

Banks’s name appears in Reynolds’s sitter book in November and December 1771, and in January, February and March 1772; between July and December 1772 he was travelling in the Hebrides, Iceland and the Orkneys, but he met Reynolds immediately on his return and the last sitting took place in March 1773. A payment of 70gns. was made to Reynolds by a Mr Hodgkinson [4] on 15 January 1774. The portrait has long been admired, for its intellectualism, power and energy, [5] but above all for its characterisation: 'no painter could have so expressed the hungry heart of a man smitten with the passion of exploring and inquiring, unless he had felt a deep and intelligent sympathy with his sitter'. [6]

A small bust-length oval version, in which the fur-collared coat is blue, was painted by Daniel Chodoweicki c.1780 (with a pendant of Dr Solander; both in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin; 491A & B).

2) In a letter to his sister Sarah Sophia, Banks mistakenly wrote that ‘the motto of the print is taken from a part of Virgil’s Eneid, where Eneas encouraging his people says ...’ (Letters of Sir Joseph Banks, a selection, ed. N. Chambers, 2000, no.9, where dated February 1773 – but he must have been referring to Dickinson’s plate, which was published on 30 January 1774).

Tangent

By Dr. Jon Suter

 

The DC line of comics has had its ups and downs over the decades, but has had the resiliency to reinvigorate itself with new versions of established characters like Flash, Green Lantern, or Superman.

 

To say that DC’s new “Tangent” line is the most radical revision yet of its “universe”, or story continuity, is an understatement. I consider it more radical than Marvel’s ill-fated “New Universe” imprint.

 

The “Tangent” universe is far different from the current DC cosmos; it is no “Earth One versus Earth Two”, or even “Elseworld” variant of established characters. Only the character’s names are the same.

 

Dan Jurgens is the driving force behind the line. Of the nine titles, I have seen three: “Sea Devils”, “Metal Men”, and “Flash”. I look forward to the other six since all titles appear to be closely related.

 

The “Tangent” universe is based on a revised history of the 1960s, particularly the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnamese Conflict, and the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia.

 

Jurgens has developed his alternate history as carefully as many SF novelists.

 

The new Metal Men are humans, not sentient robots. The Sea Devils are humans devolved into crustaceans, not scuba divers. The Flash is neither Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, or Wally West; she has to be seen to be believed.

 

The tone of “Metal Men” and “Sea Devils” is dark, but “Flash” is a frothy mélange of Roadrunner slapstick and super heroics.

 

Resemblances to the film “Clueless” are not accidental.

 

Whether this incarnation can fit successfully into a team remains to be seen, but such a team is promised: The Secret Six.

 

Each of the comics works well. Whether they or any of the other titles will survive remains to be seen. The price is hefty, $2.95 each, but these first issues could be a good financial investment and good reading.

 

Can anyone doubt that the “Tangent” characters will eventually meet their counterparts from the mainstream DC universe?

 

Fans have a depressing habit of wanting immediate crossovers.

 

Eram os Deuses Astronautas? Autor: Erich von Däniken.

Fonte: Wikipédia, a Enciclopédia livre.

 

Erich Anton Peter von Däniken (Zofingen, 14 de abril de 1935) é um teórico da conspiração, escritor e arqueólogo suíço e um dos fundadores do AAS RA (Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association) mundialmente conhecido por escrever o livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas? e por ser um dos principais idealizadores da série Alienígenas do Passado que apresenta a ideia de que o homem primitivo foi visitado por seres extraterrestres desde os tempos pré-históricos. Von Däniken é o principal responsável por popularizar a crença de que fomos visitados por seres de outros planetas, descritos em diversos livros antigos como o Mahabharata, o Canchur Tibetano, a Bíblia Israelense, o Alcorão Árabe e inclusive em Papiros recém descobertos e obviamente na literatura e escrituras das principais religiões e civilizações da humanidade. Vön Daniken traz como definição de que povos antigos foram visitados por seres alienígenas, provenientes de outros planetas, já que só na Via Láctea já foram encontradas mais de 100 bilhões de estrelas, várias delas, eventualmente, tendo seus respectivos exoplanetas.

 

As ideias apresentadas em seus livros são rejeitadas por praticamente todos os cientistas e acadêmicos, que categorizam seu trabalho como pseudohistória, pseudoarqueologia e pseudociência.[1][2] No início de sua carreira, ele foi condenado e cumpriu pena por várias acusações de fraude ou peculato,[3] escrevendo um de seus livros na prisão.

 

Sobre o autor:

 

O suíço Erich Von Däniken é o autor do livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, Chariots of the Gods? em inglês, que rapidamente se tornou num best-seller nos Estados Unidos, na Europa e na Índia. Esse livro ficou famoso na década de 1970 por descrever a hipótese de que os deuses, descritos na literatura e nas escrituras das principais religiões e civilizações, eram na realidade extraterrestres que alegadamente teriam visitado o planeta Terra no passado.[4][2][5] Segundo von Däniken, o livro foi traduzido em 32 línguas, tendo vendido mais de 63 milhões de exemplares.[6]

 

Däniken tornou-se cofundador da Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association (AAS RA), Associação de Pesquisa Arqueológica, Astronáutica e SETI, e desenhou o parque de diversões Mystery Park, em Interlaken, Suíça, que abriu pela primeira vez em 23 de maio de 2003.[7]

 

Início de vida:

 

Von Däniken teve uma educação Católica rigorosa e frequentou a escola internacional Católica de Saint-Michel em Fribourg, Suíça. Durante este tempo na escola, Däniken rejeitou a interpretação que a igreja faz da Bíblia e desenvolveu um interesse por astronomia e os fenómenos de discos voadores.[8].

 

Aos 19 anos, von Däniken recebeu uma pena suspensa de quatro meses por furto.[8] Von Däniken saiu da escola e tornou-se aprendiz de um hoteleiro suíço.[9] Depois de se mudar para o Egito, foi condenado por fraude e peculato.[8]

 

Depois tornou-se gestor do Hotel Rosenhügel em Davos, Suíça, durante este tempo escreveu o livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, trabalhando no manuscrito durante a noite, depois dos hóspedes se retirarem.[10] Em dezembro de 1964, von Däniken escreveu Hatten unsere Vorfahren Besuch aus dem Weltraum? ("Os nossos antepassados receberam uma Visita do Espaço?") para o periódico teuto-canadense Der Nordwesten.[11] O livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas? foi aceite para publicação por uma editora no início do ano 1967 e lançado em 1968.[10]

 

Em novembro de 1968, von Däniken foi preso por fraude depois de falsificar os registos do hotel e referências de crédito com o objectivo de contrair empréstimos[10] no valor de $ 130 000,00 (valores da época) no decorrer de doze anos. Ele usou o dinheiro para viagens ao estrangeiro para fazer pesquisas para o seu livro.[8] Dois anos mais tarde,[10] von Däniken foi condenado por peculato "repetido e continuado", fraude e falsificação, com o tribunal a decidir que o escritor tinha estado a viver um estilo de vida de "playboy".[12] Von Däniken apresentou recurso para nulidade do processo na base de que as suas intenções não eram maliciosas e as instituições de crédito teriam falhado em investigar adequadamente as suas referências.[12][8][10] No dia 13 de fevereiro de 1970, von Däniken recebeu uma sentença de prisão de três anos e meio e multa de 3 000 francos.[10][13] Ele cumpriu um ano da sua sentença antes de ser libertado.[8][14]

 

O seu primeiro livro, Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, foi publicado na mesma época do julgamento, sendo que as vendas permitiram-lhe pagar as suas dívidas e sair do negócio da hotelaria. Von Däniken escreveu o seu segundo livro, Gods from Outer Space, enquanto estava na prisão.[12][8]

 

Alegações de influência extraterrestre na Terra:

 

Em 1966, quando Däniken estava a escrever o seu primeiro livro, os cientistas Carl Sagan e I. S. Shklovskii, escreveram sobre as possibilidades da Teoria dos astronautas antigos e as alegações de visitas extraterrestres num dos capítulos do livro Intelligent Life in the Universe, dando alguma legitimidade a esta ideia.[15] Contudo muitas destas ideias apareceram de forma bastante diferente nos livros de Däniken. Carl Sagan foi sempre muito crítico em relação a von Däniken:

 

Aquela forma tão descuidada de escrever como a de von Däniken, cuja principal tese é de que os nossos antepassados eram bonecos, ao ser tão popular é um comentário sobre a credulidade e desespero dos nossos tempos. Mas a ideia que seres de qualquer outro lado viriam salvar-nos de nós próprios é uma doutrina muito perigosa - semelhante ao do médico charlatão cujos tratamentos impedem que o cliente procure um médico competente para o ajudar e, quem sabe, talvez curar a doença.

That writing as careless as von Däniken's, whose principal thesis is that our ancestors were dummies, should be so popular is a sober commentary on the credulousness and despair of our times. But the idea that beings from elsewhere will save us from ourselves is a very dangerous doctrine - akin to that of the quack doctor whose ministrations prevent the patient from seeing a physician competent to help him and perhaps to cure his disease.

— Carl Sagan, no prefácio de The Space Gods Revealed[16]

 

Anteriormente ao trabalho de Däniken, outros escritores apresentaram ideias de contactos extraterrestres. Däniken não refere alguns, ou mesmo todos estes autores, mesmo quando fazia as mesmas alegações usando evidências idênticas ou similares.[17][notas 1]

 

Também espero que a popularidade de livros como Eram os Deuses Astronautas? continue nas escolas e nos cursos de lógica das universidades, como assunto de aula sobre pensamento descuidado. Não conheço qualquer livro recente tão emaranhado em erros de lógica e erros factuais como nos trabalhos de von Däniken.

I also hope for the continuing popularity of books like Chariots of the Gods? in high school and college logic courses, as object lessons in sloppy thinking. I know of no recent books so riddled with logical and factual errors as the works of von Däniken.

— Carl Sagan, no prefácio de The Space Gods Revealed[18]

 

Erros e omissões:

 

O pilar de Deli:

 

No livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, Däniken escreveu sobre a existência de um pilar de ferro em Deli, Índia, que não enferruja e que seria uma evidência da existência de influência extraterrestre.[19] Mais tarde, na sua entrevista para a Playboy, quando lhe foi dito de que a coluna tem sinais de ferrugem e que o método de construção é bem conhecido, Däniken disse que desde o momento em escreveu o livro terá tomado conhecimento de investigações que chegaram a outras conclusões e deixara de considerar este pilar um mistério.[20][21]

 

Cueva de los Tayos:

 

No livro The Gold of the Gods, O Ouro dos Deuses, von Däniken escreveu que terá sido guiado por túneis artificiais nas grutas debaixo do Equador, Cueva de los Tayos, que continham ouro, estátuas estranhas e uma biblioteca com placas de metal, que ele considerou ser evidência de visitantes espaciais ancestrais. O homem que ele terá dito que lhe mostrou estes túneis, Juan Moricz, disse a Der Spiegel que as descrições de von Däniken vieram de uma longa conversa e que as fotos que foram incluídas no livro foram "retocadas".[22] Von Däniken disse à Playboy que embora ele tenha visto a biblioteca e outros locais que descreveu, ele acabou por fabricar alguns dos eventos para dar algum interesse ao seu livro.[12][23][24]

 

Mais tarde, em 1978, teria dito que nunca esteve na caverna ilustrada no seu livro, em vez disso teria estado numa "entrada lateral", disse ainda que teria fabricado toda a descida ao interior da gruta.[24] Um geologista examinou a área e não encontrou qualquer sistema subterrâneo.[22] Däniken também escreveu sobre uma coleção de objetos de ouro na posse de um sacerdote local, Padre Crespi, que tinha uma permissão especial do Vaticano para realizar pesquisa arqueológica.[22] Mas o arqueólogo relatou a Der Spiegel que, apesar de existirem algumas peças de ouro, muitas eram apenas imitações destinadas a turistas, e que Crespi tinha dificuldade em distinguir bronze de latão.[22]

 

Estâncias de Dzyan:

 

O doutor Samuel Rosenberg disse que o Livro de Dzyan, que contém as Estâncias de Dzyan, do qual von Däniken fez referência,[25] foi "uma 'fabricação' sobreposta a um gigantesco embuste perpetrado por Madame Blavatsky." Ele também diz que o "Papiro de Tulli", citado por von Däniken num dos seus livros,[25] é provavelmente construído a partir do Livro de Ezequiel, e citou o Dr. Nolli (pelo Dr. Walter Ramberg, Scientific Attache na embaixada dos Estados Unidos em Roma), na altura o Diretor da Secção Egípcia do Museu do Vaticano, como "suspeitando que Tulli foi levado para lá e de que o papiro era falso".[26] Na opinião de Richard R. Lingerman do New York Times, é provável que von Däniken obteve estas referências de livro de OVNIS que mencionavam estes documentos como sendo reais.[25]

 

Von Däniken trouxe a público as Linhas de Nasca com o seu livro de 1968, Eram os Deuses Astronautas?,[27] atraiu tantos turistas que a pesquisadora Maria Reiche teve de gastar muito do seu tempo e dinheiro para as preservar.[28] Von Däniken disse que as linhas foram construídas seguindo instruções de seres extraterrestres.[29] No seu livro de 1998, Arrival of The Gods, acrescentou que algumas das fotografias retratavam extraterrestres.[29] Os arqueólogos têm a certeza que as linhas foram criados por civilizações pré-colombianas para fins culturais e nem se deram ao trabalho de refutar este tipo de especulação.[29] Silverman e Proulx dizem que este silêncio da parte dos arqueólogos prejudicou a profissão assim como a nação peruana.[29] Esta ideia não era originalmente de von Däniken, começou como uma piada criada pelas primeiras pessoas que viram as linhas a partir do ar[27] e que já tinha sido publicada por outras pessoas.[30] Uma das fotografias apresentadas no livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, que von Däniken referia ser similar às marcas visíveis nos aeroportos modernos, era de dimensões reduzidas e apenas uma articulação de um joelho de uma das figuras que tinha a forma de uma ave; Däniken diz que esse teria sido um erro da primeira edição e que não era ele que fazia essa alegação no livro, mas o erro acabou por não ser corrigido na edições que se seguiram.[27][31]

 

Mapa de Piri Reis:

 

Von Däniken escreveu em Eram os Deuses Astronautas? que uma versão do mapa Piri Reis ilustrava algumas montanhas do Antártico que estavam e continuam a estar cobertas pelo gelo, e que apenas poderiam ser mapeadas com recurso a equipamento moderno. A sua teoria tem por base o livro Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, por Charles Hapgood. A. D. Crown em Some Trust in Chariots explica como é que isto está simplesmente errado. O mapa no livro de von Däniken apenas estende 5 graus a sul do equador, terminando no Cabo de São Roque, que significa que não estende até à Antártica. Däniken também disse que o mapa mostrava algumas distorções que apenas aconteceriam se este fosse uma vista aérea obtida a partir de uma nave espacial a voar por cima do Cairo, mas na realidade o mapa não estende o suficiente para sul de forma a causar distorções numa vista aérea. Von Däniken também faz afirmações sobre a existência de uma lenda que diz que um deus deu o mapa a um sacerdote, o deus como sendo um ser extraterrestre. Contudo, Piri Reis disse que este terá desenhado o mapa ele próprio utilizando mapas antigos, e o mapa é consistente com o conhecimento cartográfico existente nesse tempo.[32] Aliás, o mapa também não é "absolutamente preciso" como teria afirmado von Däniken, porque este contém muitos erros e omissões;[33] um facto que von Däniken não corrigiu quando analisou o mapa novamente em 1998, no livro Odyssey of the Gods.[34] Outros autores tinham também publicado a mesma idade, um facto que von Däniken não reconheceu até 1974 numa entrevista à revista Playboy.[35]

 

Pirâmide de Quéops:

 

O documentário da Nova, The Case of the Ancient Astronauts, mostra que todas as afirmações que Däniken fez sobre a Pirâmide de Quéops estavam erradas em toda a linha. A técnica de construção é bem conhecida, sabemos exatamente quais foram a ferramentas utilizadas, podemos ver as marcas destas ferramentas nas pedreiras e existem muitas ferramentas preservadas nos museus. Däniken afirma que lhes levaria uma enorme quantidade de tempo para cortar todos os blocos de pedra necessários e arrastá-los para a zona de construção a tempo de construir a Grande Pirâmide em apenas 20 anos, mas a Nova mostra como era fácil e rápido de cortar um bloco de pedra, e mostra os rolos usados no transporte. Ele também alega que os egípcios subitamente começaram a fazer pirâmides do nada, mas existem várias pirâmides que mostram o progresso alcançado pelos arquitetos egípcios enquanto aperfeiçoavam a técnica desde os simples mastabas até à pirâmides que se seguiram. Däniken afirmou que a altura das pirâmides multiplicada por um milhão era a distância para o Sol, mas o número fica muito abaixo disso. Ele também diz que os egípcios não conseguiriam alinhar as arestas de forma tão perfeita com o norte sem uma tecnologia tão avançada que apenas os extraterrestres conseguiriam oferecer-lhes, mas os egípcios conheciam métodos muito simples para encontrar o norte através da observação das estrelas, e é trivial fazer arestas direitas.[36]

 

Sarcófago de Palenque:

 

Däniken afirma que o sarcófago de Palenque, no Templo das Inscrições, representa um astronauta sentado em cima de foguetão, vestindo um fato espacial. Contudo, arqueólogos não veem nada de especial nesta figura, o monarca Maia falecido com penteados e joalharia tradicionais Maias, rodeado de símbolos Maias pode ser observado juntamente com outros desenhos Maias.[37] A mão direita não está a manipular quaisquer controlos de um foguetão, está porém simplesmente a fazer um gesto tradicional Maia, que outras figuras nos lados da tampa também estão a fazer, e não está a segurar seja o que for. O formato do foguetão é na realidade duas serpentes que juntam as suas cabeças no fundo, as chamas do foguetão são as barbas das serpentes.[38] O motor do foguetão debaixo da figura é a face de um monstro, símbolo do submundo.[39][40][41][42]

 

As Pedras Ancestrais do Peru:

 

Von Däniken divulgou fotografias de pedras ancestrais do Peru, as Pedras de Ica, com gravuras de homens usando telescópios, mapas do mundo detalhados e operações médicas avançadas, tudo muito para além do conhecimento dos antepassados peruanos. Mas a série de televisão Nova da PBS determinou que as pedras eram contemporâneas e chegou mesmo a localizar o oleiro que as fez. Este oleiro faz pedras diariamente e vende-as a turistas. Sabe-se que von Däniken visitou o oleiro e que examinou as pedras, contudo não mencionou este encontro no seu livro. Ele diz que não acreditou no oleiro quando este terá dito que as tinha feito. Däniken diz que perguntou ao Doutor Cabrera, um cirurgião local, dono de um museu, que lhe terá dito que o oleiro estava a mentir e que as pedras seriam ancestrais. Mas o oleiro tinha provas que Cabrera lhe tinha agradecido por providenciar as pedras para o museu. Por seu lado, Däniken alega que as pedras no museu eram muito diferentes daquelas que eram feitas pelo oleiro, mas os jornalistas da Nova supervisionaram a fabricação de uma das pedras e confirmaram que esta era muito semelhante às que se encontravam no museu.[43]

 

Estátuas da Ilha da Páscoa:

 

Kenneth Feder acusou von Däniken de etnocentrismo europeu,[44] enquanto John Flenley e Paul Bahn sugeriram que os pontos de vista como a sua interpretação das estátuas da Ilha da Páscoa "ignoram as realizações reais dos nossos antepassados e constituem a última palavra em racismo: subestimam a capacidade e engenho da espécie humana como um todo."[45]

 

Refutações:

 

Ronald Story publicou em 1976 o livro The Space Gods Revealed, escrito em resposta à evidência apresentada no livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas? de Däniken. Esse livro foi avaliado como "uma refutação coerente e indispensável das teorias de Von Däniken".[46]

 

Um artigo de 2004 na Revista Skeptic afirma que Däniken retirou muitos dos conceitos do livro O Despertar dos Mágicos, que este livro por sua vez foi influenciado grandemente pelos Mitos de Cthulhu, afirma ainda que os conceitos nucleares da teoria dos astronautas da antiguidade é originário das pequenas histórias de H. P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu" escritas em 1926, e "At the Mountains of Madness" escrita em 1931.[47]

 

Von Däniken, num documentário do ano de 2001, dizia que mesmo não conseguindo provar de forma conclusiva à comunidade científica que qualquer um dos itens no seu arquivo tem origem extraterrestre, ele sente que a "ciência de hoje" não iria aceitar tal evidência, porque "simplesmente não é o tempo certo". Disse também que saltou de Gestor de Hotel para "especialista do mundo antigo." Ele argumenta que, inicialmente, tal seria necessário para "preparar" a humanidade para um "magnífico mundo novo".[48]

 

Popularidade:

 

O Jungfrau Park localizado perto de Interlaken, na Suíça, abriu em 2003 com o nome de Mystery Park, foi encerrado em 2006 por dificuldades financeiras e pouca adesão do público. Desde 2009 tem funcionado durante a temporada do Verão. Foi desenhado por Erich von Däniken, a temática explora vários grandes "mistérios" do mundo.[49]

 

Ridley Scott disse que o seu filme Prometheus é baseado em algumas das ideias de von Däniken relacionadas com o início da civilização humana.[50]

 

Analisando os dois DVDs do filme de Roland Emmerich, Stargate, Dean Devlin faz referência à parte "Is There a Stargate?" (Existe um Stargate algures?) que contém uma entrevista onde "escritor Erich von Däniken discute a evidência que este encontrou de que a Terra foi visitada por extraterrestres".[51][52]

Von Däniken deu as seguintes explicações na sua entrevista para a Playboy: "Em alemão nós dizemos que um escritor, se não está a escrever pura ciência, é-lhe permitido utilizar algunsdramaturgisch Effekte - alguns efeitos especiais. E isso foi o que eu fiz." Von Däniken acrescentou "Eu tenho estado dentro de grutas, mas não tem sido nos locais onde as fotografias que estão no livro foram tiradas, não na entrada principal. Eu estive na entrada lateral." Ele disse que viu pessoalmente os objetos que descreve no seu livro e no qual estão publicadas as respetivas fotos. Afirmou também que os desmentidos de Moricz sobre as suas afirmações devem-se ao facto de a expedição de Moricz ter assinado compromissos de silêncio sobre o que continham as grutas. Von Däniken também disse que um reconhecido arqueólogo alemão terá sido enviado ao Equador para verificar as suas afirmações, mas depois de seis semanas colocado lá acabou não conseguir encontrar o Moricz. Playboy, p. 58.

Sobre o livro "Eram os Deuses Astronautas?"

 

Eram os Deuses Astronautas? (Erinnerungen an die Zukunft, no original alemão, Chariots of the Gods, em inglês) é um livro escrito em 1968 pelo suíço Erich von Däniken, em que o autor teoriza a possibilidade das antigas civilizações terrestres serem resultados de alienígenas (ou astronautas) que para as épocas relatadas teriam se deslocado.[1] Von Däniken apresentou como provas ligações entre as colossais pirâmides egípcias e incas, as quilométricas linhas de Nazca, os misteriosos moais da Ilha de Páscoa, entre outros grandes mistérios arquitetônicos. Ele também cria uma teoria de cruzamentos entre os "extraterrestres" e espécies primatas, gerando a espécie humana. Dizia o autor também que esses "extraterrestres" eram considerados divindades pelos antigos povos: daí vem a explicação do título do livro. Naturalmente, levando o pensamento há 1000 ou 2000 anos atrás, é impossível definir um objeto voador com 30 metros de comprimento - que hoje chamamos de avião ou ônibus espacial - portanto correlações próximas à realidade da época foram feitas: "Deus", "Anúbis", "Itzmná" ou "Salvador". Unido à época lançada - um ano antes do homem ir à Lua -, von Däniken conseguiu vender milhares de livros e convencer muitos leitores. As teorias defendidas neste e em outros livros de Däniken ainda são tema de discussão, leiga ou acadêmica, contrária ou favorável. Alguns autores exploram o tema da teoria dos astronautas antigos.

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.

 

Erich Anton Paul von Däniken (/ˈɛrɪk fɒn ˈdɛnɪkɪn/; German: [ˈeːrɪç fɔn ˈdɛːnɪkən]; born 14 April 1935) is a Swiss author of several books which make claims about extraterrestrial influences on early human culture, including the best-selling Chariots of the Gods?, published in 1968. Von Däniken is one of the main figures responsible for popularizing the "paleo-contact" and ancient astronauts hypotheses.

 

The ideas put forth in his books are rejected by virtually all scientists and academics, who categorize his work as pseudohistory, pseudoarchaeology, and pseudoscience.[1][2][3] Early in his career, he was convicted and served time for several counts of fraud or embezzlement,[4] and wrote one of his books in prison.

 

Von Däniken later became a co-founder of the Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association (AAS RA). He designed Mystery Park (now known as Jungfrau Park), a theme park located in Interlaken, Switzerland, that opened in May 2003.[5]

 

Early life:

 

Von Däniken was born in Zofingen, Aargau. Brought up as a Roman Catholic, he attended the Saint-Michel International Catholic School in Fribourg, Switzerland. During his time at the school he rejected the church's interpretations of the Bible and developed an interest in astronomy and flying saucers.[6] At the age of 19, he was given a four-month suspended sentence for theft.[6] He left the school and was apprenticed to a Swiss hotelier for a time,[7] before moving to Egypt. In December 1964, von Däniken wrote Hatten unsere Vorfahren Besuch aus dem Weltraum? ("Were Our Ancestors Visited from Space?") for the German-Canadian periodical Der Nordwesten.[8] While in Egypt, he was involved in a jewelry deal which resulted in a nine-month conviction for fraud and embezzlement upon his return to Switzerland.[6]

 

Following his release, von Däniken became a manager of the Hotel Rosenhügel in Davos, Switzerland, during which time he wrote Chariots of the Gods? (German: Erinnerungen an die Zukunft, literally "Memories of the Future"), working on the manuscript late at night after the hotel's guests had retired.[9] The draft of the book was turned down by several publishers. Econ Verlag (now part of Ullstein Verlag) was willing to publish the book after a complete reworking by a professional author, Utz Utermann, who used the pseudonym of Wilhelm Roggersdorf. Utermann was a former editor of the Nazi Party's newspaper Völkischer Beobachter and had been a Nazi bestselling author.[10] The re-write of Chariots of the Gods? was accepted for publication early in 1967, but not printed until March 1968.[9] Against all expectations, the book gained widespread interest and became a bestseller. Von Däniken was paid 7 percent of the book's turnover, while 3 percent went to Utermann.[11] In 1970, Der Spiegel referred to the hype over Däniken as Dänikitis.[12]

 

In November 1968, von Däniken was arrested for fraud, after falsifying hotel records and credit references in order to take out loans[9] for $130,000 over a period of twelve years. He used the money for foreign travel to research his book.[6] Two years later,[9] von Däniken was convicted for "repeated and sustained" embezzlement, fraud, and forgery, with the court ruling that the writer had been living a "playboy" lifestyle.[13] He unsuccessfully entered a plea of nullity, on the grounds that his intentions were not malicious and that the credit institutions were at fault for failing adequately to research his references,[6][9][13] and on 13 February 1970 he was sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment and was also fined 3,000 francs.[9][14] He served one year of this sentence before being released.[6][15]

 

His first book, Chariots of the Gods?, had been published by the time of his trial, and its sales allowed him to repay his debts and leave the hotel business. Von Däniken wrote his second book, Gods from Outer Space, while in prison.[6][13]

 

Claims of alien influence on Earth:

 

The general claim of von Däniken over several published books, starting with Chariots of the Gods? in 1968, is that extraterrestrials or "ancient astronauts" visited Earth and influenced early human culture. Von Däniken writes about his belief that structures such as the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Moai of Easter Island, and certain artifacts from that period, are products of higher technological knowledge than is presumed to have existed at the times they were manufactured. He also describes ancient artwork throughout the world as containing depictions of astronauts, air and space vehicles, extraterrestrials, and complex technology. Von Däniken explains the origins of religions as reactions to contact with an alien race, and offers interpretations of sections of the Old Testament of the Bible.

 

Criticism:

 

In 1966, when von Däniken was writing his first book, scientists Carl Sagan and I. S. Shklovskii had written about the possibility of paleocontact and extraterrestrial visitation claims in one chapter of their book Intelligent Life in the Universe, leading author Ronald Story to speculate in his book The Space-gods Revealed that this may have been the genesis of von Däniken's ideas.[16] Many ideas from this book appeared in different form in Däniken's books.

 

Prior to von Däniken's work, other authors had presented ideas of extraterrestrial contacts. He has failed to credit these authors properly or at all, even when making the same claims using similar or identical evidence.[17] The first edition of von Däniken's Erinnerungen an die Zukunft failed to cite Robert Charroux's One Hundred Thousand Years of Man's Unknown History despite making very similar claims, and publisher Econ-Verlag was forced to add Charroux in the bibliography in later editions, to avoid a possible lawsuit for plagiarism.[18]

 

Logical and factual errors:

 

That writing as careless as von Däniken's, whose principal thesis is that our ancestors were dummies, should be so popular is a sober commentary on the credulousness and despair of our times. I also hope for the continuing popularity of books like Chariots of the Gods? in high school and college logic courses, as object lessons in sloppy thinking. I know of no recent books so riddled with logical and factual errors as the works of von Däniken.[19]

— Carl Sagan, Foreword to The Space Gods Revealed

 

Iron pillar of Delhi:

 

In Chariots of the Gods?, von Däniken cited the Iron pillar of Delhi in India, erected approximately 402 AD, as a prime example of extraterrestrial influence because of its "unknown origins" and a complete absence of rust despite its estimated 1,500 years of continuous exposure to the elements.[20][21] When informed by an interviewer, in 1974, that the pillar was not rust-free, and that its origin, method of construction, and relative resistance to corrosion were all well understood, von Däniken responded that he no longer believed extraterrestrials had been involved in its creation.[22][23]

 

Cueva de los Tayos:

 

In The Gold of the Gods, von Däniken describes an expedition that he undertook through man-made tunnels within Cueva de los Tayos, a natural cave system in Ecuador, guided by a local man named Juan Moricz. He reported seeing mounds of gold, strange statues, and a library containing metal tablets, all of which he considered to be evidence of ancient extraterrestrial visitation.[citation needed]

 

Moricz told Der Spiegel that there had been no expedition; von Däniken's descriptions came from "a long conversation", and the photos in the book had been "fiddled".[24] During the 1974 interview, von Däniken asserted that he had indeed seen the library and the artifacts in the tunnels, but he had embellished some aspects of the story to make it more interesting:

 

"In German we say a writer, if he is not writing pure science, is allowed to use some dramaturgische Effekte – some theatrical effects...And that's what I have done."[13][25][26]

 

A geologist found no evidence of artificial tunnels in the area.[24] Father Crespi's[who?] gold artifacts, according to an archeologist consulted by Der Spiegel, were mostly brass imitations sold locally as tourist souvenirs.[24]

 

Book of Dzyan and "Tulli Papyrus":

 

Samuel Rosenberg said that the Book of Dzyan, referred to by von Däniken,[27] was "a fabrication superimposed on a gigantic hoax concocted by Madame Blavatsky." He also says that the "Tulli Papyrus", cited by von Däniken in one of his books,[27] is probably cribbed from the Book of Ezekiel, and quoted Nolli (through Walter Ramberg, Scientific Attache at the U.S. Embassy in Rome), then current Director of the Egyptian Section of the Vatican Museum, as "suspect[ing] that Tulli was taken in and that the papyrus is a fake."[28] According to Richard R. Lingeman of The New York Times, it is likely that von Däniken obtained these references from UFO books that mentioned them as real documents.[27]

 

Nazca Lines:

 

Von Däniken brought the Nazca Lines to public prominence in Chariots of the Gods?[29] with his proposal that the lines were built on instructions from extraterrestrial beings as airfields for their spaceships.[30] In his 1998 book Arrival of The Gods, he added that some of the pictures depicted extraterrestrials.[30] The idea did not originate with von Däniken; it began after people who first saw the lines from the air made joking comparisons to Martian "canals",[29] and had already been published by others.[31]

 

Descriptions of some Nazca line photos in Chariots of the Gods? contain significant inaccuracies. One, for example, purporting to demonstrate markings of a modern airport, was actually the knee joint of one of the bird figures, and was quite small. Von Däniken said that this was an "error" in the first edition, but it has not been corrected in later editions.[29][32]

 

Consensus among archeologists is that the Nazca lines were created by pre-Columbian civilizations for cultural purposes. Efforts by archeologists to refute fringe theories such as Däniken's have been minimal, however.[30] Silverman and Proulx have said that this silence from archaeologists has harmed the profession, as well as the Peruvian nation.[30] Von Däniken's books attracted so many tourists to the Nazca region that researcher Maria Reiche had to spend much of her own time and money preserving the lines.[33]

 

Piri Reis map:

 

Von Däniken wrote in Chariots of the Gods? that a version of the Piri Reis map depicted some Antarctic mountains that were and still are buried in ice, and could only be mapped with modern equipment. His theory relies on the book of Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings by Charles Hapgood. A.D. Crown, in Some Trust in Chariots, explains how this is simply wrong. The map in von Däniken's book only extends five degrees south of the equator, ending in Cape São Roque, which means that it does not extend to Antarctica. Von Däniken also said that the map showed some distortions that would only happen if it was an aerial view taken from a spaceship flying above El Cairo, but in fact it does not extend far enough to the south to cause visible distortions in an aerial view. Von Däniken also asserts the existence of a legend saying that a god gave the map to a priest, the god being an extraterrestrial being. But Piri Reis said that he had drawn that map himself using older maps, and the map is consistent with the cartographic knowledge of that time.[34] Also, the map is not "absolutely accurate" as claimed by von Däniken, since it contains many errors and omissions;[35] a fact that von Däniken did not correct when he covered the map again in his 1998 book Odyssey of the Gods.[36] Other authors had already published this same idea, a fact that von Däniken did not recognize until 1974 in an interview with Playboy magazine.[37]

 

Pyramid of Cheops:

 

Erich von Däniken puts forward many beliefs about the Great Pyramid of Giza in his 1968 book Chariots of the Gods?, saying that the ancient Egyptians could not have built it, not having sufficiently advanced tools, leaving no evidence of workers, and incorporating too much 'intimate' knowledge about the Earth and its geography into the design. To date, the technique of construction is not well understood and the tools the Egyptians used are not entirely known; however, marks left in the quarries by those tools are still visible, and many examples of possible tools are preserved in museums.[citation needed]

 

Von Däniken claims that it would have taken the Egyptians too long to cut all the blocks necessary and drag them to the construction site in time to build the Great Pyramid in only 20 years; and a Nova documentary failed to demonstrate the proposed construction method, and came to no conclusions about how long the theoretical technique would require to construct the monument.[38] The documentary does not actually demonstrate the cutting or transportation of a true 2.5 ton block but instead has actors portray the theory by pushing what is a prop rock on a prop sled based on an ancient sled that was discovered in Egypt.

 

Von Däniken also said that there were too many problems with their tools, and, according to him, the Egyptians had no prehistory so they could not have possibly built these large pyramids, even though there are pyramids in Egypt that were built before the Great Pyramid. Because he believed that there was no prehistory, von Däniken put forward that there is nothing known about how, when, or why these pyramids were built.[39][40]

 

Von Däniken also claims that Egyptians built perfect pyramids from the beginning, but numerous pyramid precursors survive, showing the errors made and corrected by Egyptian architects while they were perfecting the technique. These include simple mastabas, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, and the so-called Bent Pyramid.[citation needed]

 

In his book, he says that there is no evidence of Egyptian workers at the pyramid site;[39] however, archaeologists have found evidence of buildings where workers would have lived,[41] with bakeries and sewer systems.[42] There are also tombs of workers, with some of the skeletons showing evidence of having received medical care. This may indicate the workers were well taken care of, which suggests they were Egyptian.[43]

 

Von Däniken states that the Great Pyramid is located on the Median line dividing the continents,[39] and that the Egyptians could not have aligned the edges so perfectly to true north without advanced technology that only aliens could give them. Egyptian builders, however, knew of simple methods to find north via star observation.[44] Egyptologists have found artifacts and drawings of an object called a merkhet,[45] which enabled the ancient Egyptians to find true north using the North Star and other stars aligned with the merkhet.[46] The ancient Egyptian astronomers and, possibly, farmers spent much time studying the stars in order to accurately track the agricultural seasons.[47]

 

Sarcophagus of Palenque:

 

Von Däniken claimed that the Sarcophagus of Palenque depicted a spaceman sitting on a rocket-powered spaceship, wearing a spacesuit. However, archaeologists see nothing special about the figure, a dead Maya monarch (K'inich Janaab' Pakal) wearing traditional Maya hairstyle and jewellery, surrounded by Maya symbols that can be observed in other Maya drawings. The right hand is not handling any rocket controls, but simply making a traditional Maya gesture that other figures in the sides of the lid also make, and is not holding anything. The rocket shape is actually two serpents joining their heads at the bottom, with the rocket "flames" being the beards of the serpents. The rocket motor under the figure is the face of a monster, symbol of the underworld.[48] (In Chariots of the Gods? Von Däniken also incorrectly states the sculpture to be from Copán, rather than Palenque.)

 

Peruvian stones:

 

Von Däniken put forward photographs of the Ica stones, ancient stones in Peru, with carvings of men using telescopes, detailed world maps, and advanced medical operations, all beyond the knowledge of ancient Peruvians. But the PBS television series Nova determined that the stones were modern, and located the potter who made them. This potter makes stones daily and sells them to tourists. Von Däniken had visited the potter and examined the stones himself, but he didn't mention this in his book. He says that he didn't believe the potter when he said that he had made the stones. Von Däniken says that he asked Doctor Cabrera, a local surgeon who owns the museum, and Cabrera had told him that the potter's claims were a lie and that the stones were ancient. But the potter had proof that Cabrera had thanked him for providing the stones for the museum. Von Däniken claimed that the stones at the museum were very different from those made by the potter, but the Nova reporters oversaw the manufacturing of one stone and confirmed that it was very similar to those in the museum.[49]

 

European ethnocentrism:

 

Kenneth Feder accused von Däniken of European ethnocentrism,[50] while John Flenley and Paul Bahn suggested that views such as his interpretation of the Easter Island statues "ignore the real achievements of our ancestors and constitute the ultimate in racism: they belittle the abilities and ingenuity of the human species as a whole."[51]

 

Other criticisms:

 

Ronald Story published The Space Gods Revealed: A Close Look At The Theories of Erich Von Däniken in 1976, written in response to the evidence presented in von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods?. It was reviewed as "a coherent and much-needed refutation of von Däniken's theories".[52] Archeologist Clifford Wilson wrote two books similarly debunking von Däniken: Crash Go the Chariots in 1972 and The Chariots Still Crash in 1975.

 

A 2004 article in Skeptic Magazine states that von Däniken took many of the book's concepts from The Morning of the Magicians, that this book in turn was heavily influenced by the Cthulhu Mythos, and that the core of the ancient astronaut theory originates in H. P. Lovecraft's stories "The Call of Cthulhu" written in 1926, and At the Mountains of Madness written in 1931.[53]

 

Jason Colavito (who has made or echoed some of the criticisms above) has criticized von Däniken's book Signs of the Gods 1979 for what he describes as making very racist claims while speculating that ancient aliens created varying human races.[54]

 

Popularity:

 

According to von Däniken, books in his series have altogether been translated into 32 languages and have sold more than 63 million copies.[55]

 

Based on von Däniken's books a comic book Die Götter aus dem All has been created by Bogusław Polch written by Arnold Mostowicz and Alfred Górny. In 1978–1982 eight comic books were translated into 12 languages[56] and have sold over 5 million copies.

 

Jungfrau Park located near Interlaken, Switzerland, was opened as the Mystery Park in 2003. Designed by von Däniken, it explored several great "mysteries" of the world.[57]

 

Ridley Scott said that his film Prometheus is related to some of von Däniken's ideas regarding early human civilization.[58] Reviewing the two-disc DVD release of Roland Emmerich's film Stargate, Dean Devlin referred to the "Is There a Stargate?" feature where "author Erich von Däniken discusses evidence he has found of alien visitations to Earth."[59]

 

Von Däniken is an occasional presenter on the History Channel and H2 show Ancient Aliens, where he talks about aspects of his theories as they pertain to each episode.[60]

 

"Dänikenitis":

 

Erich Von Däniken acknowledges his popularity by referring to the phrase "Dänikenitis",[61] which he mentions in his book Chariots of the Gods. The term is used to describe the spread of Erich's ideas of extraterrestrial theories to the literate population who reads his work. This term can be seen as humorous by skeptics and critical thinkers but can be a community of like-minded thinkers.

 

"Danikenitis" slowed down in the 1970s when he began to be heavily criticized by archeologists and astronomers,[62] which led to his books not being translated into the English language anymore. He was able to bounce back into popularity when he produced a twenty-five-part German television series in 1993, and this led to his books being translated into English once again.[63] Germany and other European countries have large support for Erich's work and he was able to continue to fill auditoriums all throughout the 1990s.[64]

Eram os Deuses Astronautas? Autor: Erich von Däniken.

Fonte: Wikipédia, a Enciclopédia livre.

  

Erich Anton Peter von Däniken (Zofingen, 14 de abril de 1935) é um teórico da conspiração, escritor e arqueólogo suíço e um dos fundadores do AAS RA (Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association) mundialmente conhecido por escrever o livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas? e por ser um dos principais idealizadores da série Alienígenas do Passado que apresenta a ideia de que o homem primitivo foi visitado por seres extraterrestres desde os tempos pré-históricos. Von Däniken é o principal responsável por popularizar a crença de que fomos visitados por seres de outros planetas, descritos em diversos livros antigos como o Mahabharata, o Canchur Tibetano, a Bíblia Israelense, o Alcorão Árabe e inclusive em Papiros recém descobertos e obviamente na literatura e escrituras das principais religiões e civilizações da humanidade. Vön Daniken traz como definição de que povos antigos foram visitados por seres alienígenas, provenientes de outros planetas, já que só na Via Láctea já foram encontradas mais de 100 bilhões de estrelas, várias delas, eventualmente, tendo seus respectivos exoplanetas.

As ideias apresentadas em seus livros são rejeitadas por praticamente todos os cientistas e acadêmicos, que categorizam seu trabalho como pseudohistória, pseudoarqueologia e pseudociência.[1][2] No início de sua carreira, ele foi condenado e cumpriu pena por várias acusações de fraude ou peculato,[3] escrevendo um de seus livros na prisão.

  

Sobre o autor:

  

O suíço Erich Von Däniken é o autor do livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, Chariots of the Gods? em inglês, que rapidamente se tornou num best-seller nos Estados Unidos, na Europa e na Índia. Esse livro ficou famoso na década de 1970 por descrever a hipótese de que os deuses, descritos na literatura e nas escrituras das principais religiões e civilizações, eram na realidade extraterrestres que alegadamente teriam visitado o planeta Terra no passado.[4][2][5] Segundo von Däniken, o livro foi traduzido em 32 línguas, tendo vendido mais de 63 milhões de exemplares.[6]

  

Däniken tornou-se cofundador da Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association (AAS RA), Associação de Pesquisa Arqueológica, Astronáutica e SETI, e desenhou o parque de diversões Mystery Park, em Interlaken, Suíça, que abriu pela primeira vez em 23 de maio de 2003.[7]

  

Início de vida:

  

Von Däniken teve uma educação Católica rigorosa e frequentou a escola internacional Católica de Saint-Michel em Fribourg, Suíça. Durante este tempo na escola, Däniken rejeitou a interpretação que a igreja faz da Bíblia e desenvolveu um interesse por astronomia e os fenómenos de discos voadores.[8].

Aos 19 anos, von Däniken recebeu uma pena suspensa de quatro meses por furto.[8] Von Däniken saiu da escola e tornou-se aprendiz de um hoteleiro suíço.[9] Depois de se mudar para o Egito, foi condenado por fraude e peculato.[8]

Depois tornou-se gestor do Hotel Rosenhügel em Davos, Suíça, durante este tempo escreveu o livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, trabalhando no manuscrito durante a noite, depois dos hóspedes se retirarem.[10] Em dezembro de 1964, von Däniken escreveu Hatten unsere Vorfahren Besuch aus dem Weltraum? ("Os nossos antepassados receberam uma Visita do Espaço?") para o periódico teuto-canadense Der Nordwesten.[11] O livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas? foi aceite para publicação por uma editora no início do ano 1967 e lançado em 1968.[10]

Em novembro de 1968, von Däniken foi preso por fraude depois de falsificar os registos do hotel e referências de crédito com o objectivo de contrair empréstimos[10] no valor de $ 130 000,00 (valores da época) no decorrer de doze anos. Ele usou o dinheiro para viagens ao estrangeiro para fazer pesquisas para o seu livro.[8] Dois anos mais tarde,[10] von Däniken foi condenado por peculato "repetido e continuado", fraude e falsificação, com o tribunal a decidir que o escritor tinha estado a viver um estilo de vida de "playboy".[12] Von Däniken apresentou recurso para nulidade do processo na base de que as suas intenções não eram maliciosas e as instituições de crédito teriam falhado em investigar adequadamente as suas referências.[12][8][10] No dia 13 de fevereiro de 1970, von Däniken recebeu uma sentença de prisão de três anos e meio e multa de 3 000 francos.[10][13] Ele cumpriu um ano da sua sentença antes de ser libertado.[8][14]

O seu primeiro livro, Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, foi publicado na mesma época do julgamento, sendo que as vendas permitiram-lhe pagar as suas dívidas e sair do negócio da hotelaria. Von Däniken escreveu o seu segundo livro, Gods from Outer Space, enquanto estava na prisão.[12][8]

  

Alegações de influência extraterrestre na Terra:

  

Em 1966, quando Däniken estava a escrever o seu primeiro livro, os cientistas Carl Sagan e I. S. Shklovskii, escreveram sobre as possibilidades da Teoria dos astronautas antigos e as alegações de visitas extraterrestres num dos capítulos do livro Intelligent Life in the Universe, dando alguma legitimidade a esta ideia.[15] Contudo muitas destas ideias apareceram de forma bastante diferente nos livros de Däniken. Carl Sagan foi sempre muito crítico em relação a von Däniken:

Aquela forma tão descuidada de escrever como a de von Däniken, cuja principal tese é de que os nossos antepassados eram bonecos, ao ser tão popular é um comentário sobre a credulidade e desespero dos nossos tempos. Mas a ideia que seres de qualquer outro lado viriam salvar-nos de nós próprios é uma doutrina muito perigosa - semelhante ao do médico charlatão cujos tratamentos impedem que o cliente procure um médico competente para o ajudar e, quem sabe, talvez curar a doença.

That writing as careless as von Däniken's, whose principal thesis is that our ancestors were dummies, should be so popular is a sober commentary on the credulousness and despair of our times. But the idea that beings from elsewhere will save us from ourselves is a very dangerous doctrine - akin to that of the quack doctor whose ministrations prevent the patient from seeing a physician competent to help him and perhaps to cure his disease.

— Carl Sagan, no prefácio de The Space Gods Revealed[16]

Anteriormente ao trabalho de Däniken, outros escritores apresentaram ideias de contactos extraterrestres. Däniken não refere alguns, ou mesmo todos estes autores, mesmo quando fazia as mesmas alegações usando evidências idênticas ou similares.[17][notas 1]

Também espero que a popularidade de livros como Eram os Deuses Astronautas? continue nas escolas e nos cursos de lógica das universidades, como assunto de aula sobre pensamento descuidado. Não conheço qualquer livro recente tão emaranhado em erros de lógica e erros factuais como nos trabalhos de von Däniken.

I also hope for the continuing popularity of books like Chariots of the Gods? in high school and college logic courses, as object lessons in sloppy thinking. I know of no recent books so riddled with logical and factual errors as the works of von Däniken.

— Carl Sagan, no prefácio de The Space Gods Revealed[18]

  

Erros e omissões:

  

O pilar de Deli:

  

No livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, Däniken escreveu sobre a existência de um pilar de ferro em Deli, Índia, que não enferruja e que seria uma evidência da existência de influência extraterrestre.[19] Mais tarde, na sua entrevista para a Playboy, quando lhe foi dito de que a coluna tem sinais de ferrugem e que o método de construção é bem conhecido, Däniken disse que desde o momento em escreveu o livro terá tomado conhecimento de investigações que chegaram a outras conclusões e deixara de considerar este pilar um mistério.[20][21]

  

Cueva de los Tayos:

  

No livro The Gold of the Gods, O Ouro dos Deuses, von Däniken escreveu que terá sido guiado por túneis artificiais nas grutas debaixo do Equador, Cueva de los Tayos, que continham ouro, estátuas estranhas e uma biblioteca com placas de metal, que ele considerou ser evidência de visitantes espaciais ancestrais. O homem que ele terá dito que lhe mostrou estes túneis, Juan Moricz, disse a Der Spiegel que as descrições de von Däniken vieram de uma longa conversa e que as fotos que foram incluídas no livro foram "retocadas".[22] Von Däniken disse à Playboy que embora ele tenha visto a biblioteca e outros locais que descreveu, ele acabou por fabricar alguns dos eventos para dar algum interesse ao seu livro.[12][23][24]

  

Mais tarde, em 1978, teria dito que nunca esteve na caverna ilustrada no seu livro, em vez disso teria estado numa "entrada lateral", disse ainda que teria fabricado toda a descida ao interior da gruta.[24] Um geologista examinou a área e não encontrou qualquer sistema subterrâneo.[22] Däniken também escreveu sobre uma coleção de objetos de ouro na posse de um sacerdote local, Padre Crespi, que tinha uma permissão especial do Vaticano para realizar pesquisa arqueológica.[22] Mas o arqueólogo relatou a Der Spiegel que, apesar de existirem algumas peças de ouro, muitas eram apenas imitações destinadas a turistas, e que Crespi tinha dificuldade em distinguir bronze de latão.[22]

  

Estâncias de Dzyan:

  

O doutor Samuel Rosenberg disse que o Livro de Dzyan, que contém as Estâncias de Dzyan, do qual von Däniken fez referência,[25] foi "uma 'fabricação' sobreposta a um gigantesco embuste perpetrado por Madame Blavatsky." Ele também diz que o "Papiro de Tulli", citado por von Däniken num dos seus livros,[25] é provavelmente construído a partir do Livro de Ezequiel, e citou o Dr. Nolli (pelo Dr. Walter Ramberg, Scientific Attache na embaixada dos Estados Unidos em Roma), na altura o Diretor da Secção Egípcia do Museu do Vaticano, como "suspeitando que Tulli foi levado para lá e de que o papiro era falso".[26] Na opinião de Richard R. Lingerman do New York Times, é provável que von Däniken obteve estas referências de livro de OVNIS que mencionavam estes documentos como sendo reais.[25]

Von Däniken trouxe a público as Linhas de Nasca com o seu livro de 1968, Eram os Deuses Astronautas?,[27] atraiu tantos turistas que a pesquisadora Maria Reiche teve de gastar muito do seu tempo e dinheiro para as preservar.[28] Von Däniken disse que as linhas foram construídas seguindo instruções de seres extraterrestres.[29] No seu livro de 1998, Arrival of The Gods, acrescentou que algumas das fotografias retratavam extraterrestres.[29] Os arqueólogos têm a certeza que as linhas foram criados por civilizações pré-colombianas para fins culturais e nem se deram ao trabalho de refutar este tipo de especulação.[29] Silverman e Proulx dizem que este silêncio da parte dos arqueólogos prejudicou a profissão assim como a nação peruana.[29] Esta ideia não era originalmente de von Däniken, começou como uma piada criada pelas primeiras pessoas que viram as linhas a partir do ar[27] e que já tinha sido publicada por outras pessoas.[30] Uma das fotografias apresentadas no livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, que von Däniken referia ser similar às marcas visíveis nos aeroportos modernos, era de dimensões reduzidas e apenas uma articulação de um joelho de uma das figuras que tinha a forma de uma ave; Däniken diz que esse teria sido um erro da primeira edição e que não era ele que fazia essa alegação no livro, mas o erro acabou por não ser corrigido na edições que se seguiram.[27][31]

  

Mapa de Piri Reis:

  

Von Däniken escreveu em Eram os Deuses Astronautas? que uma versão do mapa Piri Reis ilustrava algumas montanhas do Antártico que estavam e continuam a estar cobertas pelo gelo, e que apenas poderiam ser mapeadas com recurso a equipamento moderno. A sua teoria tem por base o livro Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, por Charles Hapgood. A. D. Crown em Some Trust in Chariots explica como é que isto está simplesmente errado. O mapa no livro de von Däniken apenas estende 5 graus a sul do equador, terminando no Cabo de São Roque, que significa que não estende até à Antártica. Däniken também disse que o mapa mostrava algumas distorções que apenas aconteceriam se este fosse uma vista aérea obtida a partir de uma nave espacial a voar por cima do Cairo, mas na realidade o mapa não estende o suficiente para sul de forma a causar distorções numa vista aérea. Von Däniken também faz afirmações sobre a existência de uma lenda que diz que um deus deu o mapa a um sacerdote, o deus como sendo um ser extraterrestre. Contudo, Piri Reis disse que este terá desenhado o mapa ele próprio utilizando mapas antigos, e o mapa é consistente com o conhecimento cartográfico existente nesse tempo.[32] Aliás, o mapa também não é "absolutamente preciso" como teria afirmado von Däniken, porque este contém muitos erros e omissões;[33] um facto que von Däniken não corrigiu quando analisou o mapa novamente em 1998, no livro Odyssey of the Gods.[34] Outros autores tinham também publicado a mesma idade, um facto que von Däniken não reconheceu até 1974 numa entrevista à revista Playboy.[35]

  

Pirâmide de Quéops:

  

O documentário da Nova, The Case of the Ancient Astronauts, mostra que todas as afirmações que Däniken fez sobre a Pirâmide de Quéops estavam erradas em toda a linha. A técnica de construção é bem conhecida, sabemos exatamente quais foram a ferramentas utilizadas, podemos ver as marcas destas ferramentas nas pedreiras e existem muitas ferramentas preservadas nos museus. Däniken afirma que lhes levaria uma enorme quantidade de tempo para cortar todos os blocos de pedra necessários e arrastá-los para a zona de construção a tempo de construir a Grande Pirâmide em apenas 20 anos, mas a Nova mostra como era fácil e rápido de cortar um bloco de pedra, e mostra os rolos usados no transporte. Ele também alega que os egípcios subitamente começaram a fazer pirâmides do nada, mas existem várias pirâmides que mostram o progresso alcançado pelos arquitetos egípcios enquanto aperfeiçoavam a técnica desde os simples mastabas até à pirâmides que se seguiram. Däniken afirmou que a altura das pirâmides multiplicada por um milhão era a distância para o Sol, mas o número fica muito abaixo disso. Ele também diz que os egípcios não conseguiriam alinhar as arestas de forma tão perfeita com o norte sem uma tecnologia tão avançada que apenas os extraterrestres conseguiriam oferecer-lhes, mas os egípcios conheciam métodos muito simples para encontrar o norte através da observação das estrelas, e é trivial fazer arestas direitas.[36]

  

Sarcófago de Palenque:

  

Däniken afirma que o sarcófago de Palenque, no Templo das Inscrições, representa um astronauta sentado em cima de foguetão, vestindo um fato espacial. Contudo, arqueólogos não veem nada de especial nesta figura, o monarca Maia falecido com penteados e joalharia tradicionais Maias, rodeado de símbolos Maias pode ser observado juntamente com outros desenhos Maias.[37] A mão direita não está a manipular quaisquer controlos de um foguetão, está porém simplesmente a fazer um gesto tradicional Maia, que outras figuras nos lados da tampa também estão a fazer, e não está a segurar seja o que for. O formato do foguetão é na realidade duas serpentes que juntam as suas cabeças no fundo, as chamas do foguetão são as barbas das serpentes.[38] O motor do foguetão debaixo da figura é a face de um monstro, símbolo do submundo.[39][40][41][42]

  

As Pedras Ancestrais do Peru:

  

Von Däniken divulgou fotografias de pedras ancestrais do Peru, as Pedras de Ica, com gravuras de homens usando telescópios, mapas do mundo detalhados e operações médicas avançadas, tudo muito para além do conhecimento dos antepassados peruanos. Mas a série de televisão Nova da PBS determinou que as pedras eram contemporâneas e chegou mesmo a localizar o oleiro que as fez. Este oleiro faz pedras diariamente e vende-as a turistas. Sabe-se que von Däniken visitou o oleiro e que examinou as pedras, contudo não mencionou este encontro no seu livro. Ele diz que não acreditou no oleiro quando este terá dito que as tinha feito. Däniken diz que perguntou ao Doutor Cabrera, um cirurgião local, dono de um museu, que lhe terá dito que o oleiro estava a mentir e que as pedras seriam ancestrais. Mas o oleiro tinha provas que Cabrera lhe tinha agradecido por providenciar as pedras para o museu. Por seu lado, Däniken alega que as pedras no museu eram muito diferentes daquelas que eram feitas pelo oleiro, mas os jornalistas da Nova supervisionaram a fabricação de uma das pedras e confirmaram que esta era muito semelhante às que se encontravam no museu.[43]

  

Estátuas da Ilha da Páscoa:

  

Kenneth Feder acusou von Däniken de etnocentrismo europeu,[44] enquanto John Flenley e Paul Bahn sugeriram que os pontos de vista como a sua interpretação das estátuas da Ilha da Páscoa "ignoram as realizações reais dos nossos antepassados e constituem a última palavra em racismo: subestimam a capacidade e engenho da espécie humana como um todo."[45]

  

Refutações:

  

Ronald Story publicou em 1976 o livro The Space Gods Revealed, escrito em resposta à evidência apresentada no livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas? de Däniken. Esse livro foi avaliado como "uma refutação coerente e indispensável das teorias de Von Däniken".[46]

Um artigo de 2004 na Revista Skeptic afirma que Däniken retirou muitos dos conceitos do livro O Despertar dos Mágicos, que este livro por sua vez foi influenciado grandemente pelos Mitos de Cthulhu, afirma ainda que os conceitos nucleares da teoria dos astronautas da antiguidade é originário das pequenas histórias de H. P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu" escritas em 1926, e "At the Mountains of Madness" escrita em 1931.[47]

Von Däniken, num documentário do ano de 2001, dizia que mesmo não conseguindo provar de forma conclusiva à comunidade científica que qualquer um dos itens no seu arquivo tem origem extraterrestre, ele sente que a "ciência de hoje" não iria aceitar tal evidência, porque "simplesmente não é o tempo certo". Disse também que saltou de Gestor de Hotel para "especialista do mundo antigo." Ele argumenta que, inicialmente, tal seria necessário para "preparar" a humanidade para um "magnífico mundo novo".[48]

  

Popularidade:

  

O Jungfrau Park localizado perto de Interlaken, na Suíça, abriu em 2003 com o nome de Mystery Park, foi encerrado em 2006 por dificuldades financeiras e pouca adesão do público. Desde 2009 tem funcionado durante a temporada do Verão. Foi desenhado por Erich von Däniken, a temática explora vários grandes "mistérios" do mundo.[49]

Ridley Scott disse que o seu filme Prometheus é baseado em algumas das ideias de von Däniken relacionadas com o início da civilização humana.[50]

Analisando os dois DVDs do filme de Roland Emmerich, Stargate, Dean Devlin faz referência à parte "Is There a Stargate?" (Existe um Stargate algures?) que contém uma entrevista onde "escritor Erich von Däniken discute a evidência que este encontrou de que a Terra foi visitada por extraterrestres".[51][52]

Von Däniken deu as seguintes explicações na sua entrevista para a Playboy: "Em alemão nós dizemos que um escritor, se não está a escrever pura ciência, é-lhe permitido utilizar algunsdramaturgisch Effekte - alguns efeitos especiais. E isso foi o que eu fiz." Von Däniken acrescentou "Eu tenho estado dentro de grutas, mas não tem sido nos locais onde as fotografias que estão no livro foram tiradas, não na entrada principal. Eu estive na entrada lateral." Ele disse que viu pessoalmente os objetos que descreve no seu livro e no qual estão publicadas as respetivas fotos. Afirmou também que os desmentidos de Moricz sobre as suas afirmações devem-se ao facto de a expedição de Moricz ter assinado compromissos de silêncio sobre o que continham as grutas. Von Däniken também disse que um reconhecido arqueólogo alemão terá sido enviado ao Equador para verificar as suas afirmações, mas depois de seis semanas colocado lá acabou não conseguir encontrar o Moricz.

Sobre o livro "Eram os Deuses Astronautas?"

  

Eram os Deuses Astronautas? (Erinnerungen an die Zukunft, no original alemão, Chariots of the Gods, em inglês) é um livro escrito em 1968 pelo suíço Erich von Däniken, em que o autor teoriza a possibilidade das antigas civilizações terrestres serem resultados de alienígenas (ou astronautas) que para as épocas relatadas teriam se deslocado.[1] Von Däniken apresentou como provas ligações entre as colossais pirâmides egípcias e incas, as quilométricas linhas de Nazca, os misteriosos moais da Ilha de Páscoa, entre outros grandes mistérios arquitetônicos. Ele também cria uma teoria de cruzamentos entre os "extraterrestres" e espécies primatas, gerando a espécie humana. Dizia o autor também que esses "extraterrestres" eram considerados divindades pelos antigos povos: daí vem a explicação do título do livro. Naturalmente, levando o pensamento há 1000 ou 2000 anos atrás, é impossível definir um objeto voador com 30 metros de comprimento - que hoje chamamos de avião ou ônibus espacial - portanto correlações próximas à realidade da época foram feitas: "Deus", "Anúbis", "Itzmná" ou "Salvador". Unido à época lançada - um ano antes do homem ir à Lua -, von Däniken conseguiu vender milhares de livros e convencer muitos leitores. As teorias defendidas neste e em outros livros de Däniken ainda são tema de discussão, leiga ou acadêmica, contrária ou favorável. Alguns autores exploram o tema da teoria dos astronautas antigos.

In English:

  

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.

  

Erich Anton Paul von Däniken (/ˈɛrɪk fɒn ˈdɛnɪkɪn/; German: [ˈeːrɪç fɔn ˈdɛːnɪkən]; born 14 April 1935) is a Swiss author of several books which make claims about extraterrestrial influences on early human culture, including the best-selling Chariots of the Gods?, published in 1968. Von Däniken is one of the main figures responsible for popularizing the "paleo-contact" and ancient astronauts hypotheses.

The ideas put forth in his books are rejected by virtually all scientists and academics, who categorize his work as pseudohistory, pseudoarchaeology, and pseudoscience.[1][2][3] Early in his career, he was convicted and served time for several counts of fraud or embezzlement,[4] and wrote one of his books in prison.

Von Däniken later became a co-founder of the Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association (AAS RA). He designed Mystery Park (now known as Jungfrau Park), a theme park located in Interlaken, Switzerland, that opened in May 2003.[5]

  

Early life:

  

Von Däniken was born in Zofingen, Aargau. Brought up as a Roman Catholic, he attended the Saint-Michel International Catholic School in Fribourg, Switzerland. During his time at the school he rejected the church's interpretations of the Bible and developed an interest in astronomy and flying saucers.[6] At the age of 19, he was given a four-month suspended sentence for theft.[6] He left the school and was apprenticed to a Swiss hotelier for a time,[7] before moving to Egypt. In December 1964, von Däniken wrote Hatten unsere Vorfahren Besuch aus dem Weltraum? ("Were Our Ancestors Visited from Space?") for the German-Canadian periodical Der Nordwesten.[8] While in Egypt, he was involved in a jewelry deal which resulted in a nine-month conviction for fraud and embezzlement upon his return to Switzerland.[6]

Following his release, von Däniken became a manager of the Hotel Rosenhügel in Davos, Switzerland, during which time he wrote Chariots of the Gods? (German: Erinnerungen an die Zukunft, literally "Memories of the Future"), working on the manuscript late at night after the hotel's guests had retired.[9] The draft of the book was turned down by several publishers. Econ Verlag (now part of Ullstein Verlag) was willing to publish the book after a complete reworking by a professional author, Utz Utermann, who used the pseudonym of Wilhelm Roggersdorf. Utermann was a former editor of the Nazi Party's newspaper Völkischer Beobachter and had been a Nazi bestselling author.[10] The re-write of Chariots of the Gods? was accepted for publication early in 1967, but not printed until March 1968.[9] Against all expectations, the book gained widespread interest and became a bestseller. Von Däniken was paid 7 percent of the book's turnover, while 3 percent went to Utermann.[11] In 1970, Der Spiegel referred to the hype over Däniken as Dänikitis.[12]

In November 1968, von Däniken was arrested for fraud, after falsifying hotel records and credit references in order to take out loans[9] for $130,000 over a period of twelve years. He used the money for foreign travel to research his book.[6] Two years later,[9] von Däniken was convicted for "repeated and sustained" embezzlement, fraud, and forgery, with the court ruling that the writer had been living a "playboy" lifestyle.[13] He unsuccessfully entered a plea of nullity, on the grounds that his intentions were not malicious and that the credit institutions were at fault for failing adequately to research his references,[6][9][13] and on 13 February 1970 he was sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment and was also fined 3,000 francs.[9][14] He served one year of this sentence before being released.[6][15]

His first book, Chariots of the Gods?, had been published by the time of his trial, and its sales allowed him to repay his debts and leave the hotel business. Von Däniken wrote his second book, Gods from Outer Space, while in prison.[6][13]

  

Claims of alien influence on Earth:

  

The general claim of von Däniken over several published books, starting with Chariots of the Gods? in 1968, is that extraterrestrials or "ancient astronauts" visited Earth and influenced early human culture. Von Däniken writes about his belief that structures such as the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Moai of Easter Island, and certain artifacts from that period, are products of higher technological knowledge than is presumed to have existed at the times they were manufactured. He also describes ancient artwork throughout the world as containing depictions of astronauts, air and space vehicles, extraterrestrials, and complex technology. Von Däniken explains the origins of religions as reactions to contact with an alien race, and offers interpretations of sections of the Old Testament of the Bible.

  

Criticism:

  

In 1966, when von Däniken was writing his first book, scientists Carl Sagan and I. S. Shklovskii had written about the possibility of paleocontact and extraterrestrial visitation claims in one chapter of their book Intelligent Life in the Universe, leading author Ronald Story to speculate in his book The Space-gods Revealed that this may have been the genesis of von Däniken's ideas.[16] Many ideas from this book appeared in different form in Däniken's books.

  

Prior to von Däniken's work, other authors had presented ideas of extraterrestrial contacts. He has failed to credit these authors properly or at all, even when making the same claims using similar or identical evidence.[17] The first edition of von Däniken's Erinnerungen an die Zukunft failed to cite Robert Charroux's One Hundred Thousand Years of Man's Unknown History despite making very similar claims, and publisher Econ-Verlag was forced to add Charroux in the bibliography in later editions, to avoid a possible lawsuit for plagiarism.[18]

  

Logical and factual errors:

  

That writing as careless as von Däniken's, whose principal thesis is that our ancestors were dummies, should be so popular is a sober commentary on the credulousness and despair of our times. I also hope for the continuing popularity of books like Chariots of the Gods? in high school and college logic courses, as object lessons in sloppy thinking. I know of no recent books so riddled with logical and factual errors as the works of von Däniken.[19]

— Carl Sagan, Foreword to The Space Gods Revealed

  

Iron pillar of Delhi:

  

In Chariots of the Gods?, von Däniken cited the Iron pillar of Delhi in India, erected approximately 402 AD, as a prime example of extraterrestrial influence because of its "unknown origins" and a complete absence of rust despite its estimated 1,500 years of continuous exposure to the elements.[20][21] When informed by an interviewer, in 1974, that the pillar was not rust-free, and that its origin, method of construction, and relative resistance to corrosion were all well understood, von Däniken responded that he no longer believed extraterrestrials had been involved in its creation.[22][23]

  

Cueva de los Tayos:

  

In The Gold of the Gods, von Däniken describes an expedition that he undertook through man-made tunnels within Cueva de los Tayos, a natural cave system in Ecuador, guided by a local man named Juan Moricz. He reported seeing mounds of gold, strange statues, and a library containing metal tablets, all of which he considered to be evidence of ancient extraterrestrial visitation.[citation needed]

Moricz told Der Spiegel that there had been no expedition; von Däniken's descriptions came from "a long conversation", and the photos in the book had been "fiddled".[24] During the 1974 interview, von Däniken asserted that he had indeed seen the library and the artifacts in the tunnels, but he had embellished some aspects of the story to make it more interesting:

"In German we say a writer, if he is not writing pure science, is allowed to use some dramaturgische Effekte – some theatrical effects...And that's what I have done."[13][25][26]

A geologist found no evidence of artificial tunnels in the area.[24] Father Crespi's[who?] gold artifacts, according to an archeologist consulted by Der Spiegel, were mostly brass imitations sold locally as tourist souvenirs.[24]

  

Book of Dzyan and "Tulli Papyrus":

  

Samuel Rosenberg said that the Book of Dzyan, referred to by von Däniken,[27] was "a fabrication superimposed on a gigantic hoax concocted by Madame Blavatsky." He also says that the "Tulli Papyrus", cited by von Däniken in one of his books,[27] is probably cribbed from the Book of Ezekiel, and quoted Nolli (through Walter Ramberg, Scientific Attache at the U.S. Embassy in Rome), then current Director of the Egyptian Section of the Vatican Museum, as "suspect[ing] that Tulli was taken in and that the papyrus is a fake."[28] According to Richard R. Lingeman of The New York Times, it is likely that von Däniken obtained these references from UFO books that mentioned them as real documents.[27]

  

Nazca Lines:

  

Von Däniken brought the Nazca Lines to public prominence in Chariots of the Gods?[29] with his proposal that the lines were built on instructions from extraterrestrial beings as airfields for their spaceships.[30] In his 1998 book Arrival of The Gods, he added that some of the pictures depicted extraterrestrials.[30] The idea did not originate with von Däniken; it began after people who first saw the lines from the air made joking comparisons to Martian "canals",[29] and had already been published by others.[31]

  

Descriptions of some Nazca line photos in Chariots of the Gods? contain significant inaccuracies. One, for example, purporting to demonstrate markings of a modern airport, was actually the knee joint of one of the bird figures, and was quite small. Von Däniken said that this was an "error" in the first edition, but it has not been corrected in later editions.[29][32]

Consensus among archeologists is that the Nazca lines were created by pre-Columbian civilizations for cultural purposes. Efforts by archeologists to refute fringe theories such as Däniken's have been minimal, however.[30] Silverman and Proulx have said that this silence from archaeologists has harmed the profession, as well as the Peruvian nation.[30] Von Däniken's books attracted so many tourists to the Nazca region that researcher Maria Reiche had to spend much of her own time and money preserving the lines.[33]

  

Piri Reis map:

  

Von Däniken wrote in Chariots of the Gods? that a version of the Piri Reis map depicted some Antarctic mountains that were and still are buried in ice, and could only be mapped with modern equipment. His theory relies on the book of Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings by Charles Hapgood. A.D. Crown, in Some Trust in Chariots, explains how this is simply wrong. The map in von Däniken's book only extends five degrees south of the equator, ending in Cape São Roque, which means that it does not extend to Antarctica. Von Däniken also said that the map showed some distortions that would only happen if it was an aerial view taken from a spaceship flying above El Cairo, but in fact it does not extend far enough to the south to cause visible distortions in an aerial view. Von Däniken also asserts the existence of a legend saying that a god gave the map to a priest, the god being an extraterrestrial being. But Piri Reis said that he had drawn that map himself using older maps, and the map is consistent with the cartographic knowledge of that time.[34] Also, the map is not "absolutely accurate" as claimed by von Däniken, since it contains many errors and omissions;[35] a fact that von Däniken did not correct when he covered the map again in his 1998 book Odyssey of the Gods.[36] Other authors had already published this same idea, a fact that von Däniken did not recognize until 1974 in an interview with Playboy magazine.[37]

  

Pyramid of Cheops:

  

Erich von Däniken puts forward many beliefs about the Great Pyramid of Giza in his 1968 book Chariots of the Gods?, saying that the ancient Egyptians could not have built it, not having sufficiently advanced tools, leaving no evidence of workers, and incorporating too much 'intimate' knowledge about the Earth and its geography into the design. To date, the technique of construction is not well understood and the tools the Egyptians used are not entirely known; however, marks left in the quarries by those tools are still visible, and many examples of possible tools are preserved in museums.[citation needed]

Von Däniken claims that it would have taken the Egyptians too long to cut all the blocks necessary and drag them to the construction site in time to build the Great Pyramid in only 20 years; and a Nova documentary failed to demonstrate the proposed construction method, and came to no conclusions about how long the theoretical technique would require to construct the monument.[38] The documentary does not actually demonstrate the cutting or transportation of a true 2.5 ton block but instead has actors portray the theory by pushing what is a prop rock on a prop sled based on an ancient sled that was discovered in Egypt.

Von Däniken also said that there were too many problems with their tools, and, according to him, the Egyptians had no prehistory so they could not have possibly built these large pyramids, even though there are pyramids in Egypt that were built before the Great Pyramid. Because he believed that there was no prehistory, von Däniken put forward that there is nothing known about how, when, or why these pyramids were built.[39][40]

Von Däniken also claims that Egyptians built perfect pyramids from the beginning, but numerous pyramid precursors survive, showing the errors made and corrected by Egyptian architects while they were perfecting the technique. These include simple mastabas, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, and the so-called Bent Pyramid.[citation needed]

In his book, he says that there is no evidence of Egyptian workers at the pyramid site;[39] however, archaeologists have found evidence of buildings where workers would have lived,[41] with bakeries and sewer systems.[42] There are also tombs of workers, with some of the skeletons showing evidence of having received medical care. This may indicate the workers were well taken care of, which suggests they were Egyptian.[43]

Von Däniken states that the Great Pyramid is located on the Median line dividing the continents,[39] and that the Egyptians could not have aligned the edges so perfectly to true north without advanced technology that only aliens could give them. Egyptian builders, however, knew of simple methods to find north via star observation.[44] Egyptologists have found artifacts and drawings of an object called a merkhet,[45] which enabled the ancient Egyptians to find true north using the North Star and other stars aligned with the merkhet.[46] The ancient Egyptian astronomers and, possibly, farmers spent much time studying the stars in order to accurately track the agricultural seasons.[47]

  

Sarcophagus of Palenque:

  

Von Däniken claimed that the Sarcophagus of Palenque depicted a spaceman sitting on a rocket-powered spaceship, wearing a spacesuit. However, archaeologists see nothing special about the figure, a dead Maya monarch (K'inich Janaab' Pakal) wearing traditional Maya hairstyle and jewellery, surrounded by Maya symbols that can be observed in other Maya drawings. The right hand is not handling any rocket controls, but simply making a traditional Maya gesture that other figures in the sides of the lid also make, and is not holding anything. The rocket shape is actually two serpents joining their heads at the bottom, with the rocket "flames" being the beards of the serpents. The rocket motor under the figure is the face of a monster, symbol of the underworld.[48] (In Chariots of the Gods? Von Däniken also incorrectly states the sculpture to be from Copán, rather than Palenque.)

  

Peruvian stones:

  

Von Däniken put forward photographs of the Ica stones, ancient stones in Peru, with carvings of men using telescopes, detailed world maps, and advanced medical operations, all beyond the knowledge of ancient Peruvians. But the PBS television series Nova determined that the stones were modern, and located the potter who made them. This potter makes stones daily and sells them to tourists. Von Däniken had visited the potter and examined the stones himself, but he didn't mention this in his book. He says that he didn't believe the potter when he said that he had made the stones. Von Däniken says that he asked Doctor Cabrera, a local surgeon who owns the museum, and Cabrera had told him that the potter's claims were a lie and that the stones were ancient. But the potter had proof that Cabrera had thanked him for providing the stones for the museum. Von Däniken claimed that the stones at the museum were very different from those made by the potter, but the Nova reporters oversaw the manufacturing of one stone and confirmed that it was very similar to those in the museum.[49]

  

European ethnocentrism:

  

Kenneth Feder accused von Däniken of European ethnocentrism,[50] while John Flenley and Paul Bahn suggested that views such as his interpretation of the Easter Island statues "ignore the real achievements of our ancestors and constitute the ultimate in racism: they belittle the abilities and ingenuity of the human species as a whole."[51]

  

Other criticisms:

  

Ronald Story published The Space Gods Revealed: A Close Look At The Theories of Erich Von Däniken in 1976, written in response to the evidence presented in von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods?. It was reviewed as "a coherent and much-needed refutation of von Däniken's theories".[52] Archeologist Clifford Wilson wrote two books similarly debunking von Däniken: Crash Go the Chariots in 1972 and The Chariots Still Crash in 1975.

  

A 2004 article in Skeptic Magazine states that von Däniken took many of the book's concepts from The Morning of the Magicians, that this book in turn was heavily influenced by the Cthulhu Mythos, and that the core of the ancient astronaut theory originates in H. P. Lovecraft's stories "The Call of Cthulhu" written in 1926, and At the Mountains of Madness written in 1931.[53]

Jason Colavito (who has made or echoed some of the criticisms above) has criticized von Däniken's book Signs of the Gods 1979 for what he describes as making very racist claims while speculating that ancient aliens created varying human races.[54]

  

Popularity:

  

According to von Däniken, books in his series have altogether been translated into 32 languages and have sold more than 63 million copies.[55]

Based on von Däniken's books a comic book Die Götter aus dem All has been created by Bogusław Polch written by Arnold Mostowicz and Alfred Górny. In 1978–1982 eight comic books were translated into 12 languages[56] and have sold over 5 million copies.

Jungfrau Park located near Interlaken, Switzerland, was opened as the Mystery Park in 2003. Designed by von Däniken, it explored several great "mysteries" of the world.[57]

Ridley Scott said that his film Prometheus is related to some of von Däniken's ideas regarding early human civilization.[58] Reviewing the two-disc DVD release of Roland Emmerich's film Stargate, Dean Devlin referred to the "Is There a Stargate?" feature where "author Erich von Däniken discusses evidence he has found of alien visitations to Earth."[59]

Von Däniken is an occasional presenter on the History Channel and H2 show Ancient Aliens, where he talks about aspects of his theories as they pertain to each episode.[60]

  

"Dänikenitis":

  

Erich Von Däniken acknowledges his popularity by referring to the phrase "Dänikenitis",[61] which he mentions in his book Chariots of the Gods. The term is used to describe the spread of Erich's ideas of extraterrestrial theories to the literate population who reads his work. This term can be seen as humorous by skeptics and critical thinkers but can be a community of like-minded thinkers.

"Danikenitis" slowed down in the 1970s when he began to be heavily criticized by archeologists and astronomers,[62] which led to his books not being translated into the English language anymore. He was able to bounce back into popularity when he produced a twenty-five-part German television series in 1993, and this led to his books being translated into English once again.[63] Germany and other European countries have large support for Erich's work and he was able to continue to fill auditoriums all throughout the 1990s.[64]

Eram os Deuses Astronautas? Autor: Erich von Däniken.

Fonte: Wikipédia, a Enciclopédia livre.

  

Erich Anton Peter von Däniken (Zofingen, 14 de abril de 1935) é um teórico da conspiração, escritor e arqueólogo suíço e um dos fundadores do AAS RA (Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association) mundialmente conhecido por escrever o livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas? e por ser um dos principais idealizadores da série Alienígenas do Passado que apresenta a ideia de que o homem primitivo foi visitado por seres extraterrestres desde os tempos pré-históricos. Von Däniken é o principal responsável por popularizar a crença de que fomos visitados por seres de outros planetas, descritos em diversos livros antigos como o Mahabharata, o Canchur Tibetano, a Bíblia Israelense, o Alcorão Árabe e inclusive em Papiros recém descobertos e obviamente na literatura e escrituras das principais religiões e civilizações da humanidade. Vön Daniken traz como definição de que povos antigos foram visitados por seres alienígenas, provenientes de outros planetas, já que só na Via Láctea já foram encontradas mais de 100 bilhões de estrelas, várias delas, eventualmente, tendo seus respectivos exoplanetas.

As ideias apresentadas em seus livros são rejeitadas por praticamente todos os cientistas e acadêmicos, que categorizam seu trabalho como pseudohistória, pseudoarqueologia e pseudociência.[1][2] No início de sua carreira, ele foi condenado e cumpriu pena por várias acusações de fraude ou peculato,[3] escrevendo um de seus livros na prisão.

  

Sobre o autor:

  

O suíço Erich Von Däniken é o autor do livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, Chariots of the Gods? em inglês, que rapidamente se tornou num best-seller nos Estados Unidos, na Europa e na Índia. Esse livro ficou famoso na década de 1970 por descrever a hipótese de que os deuses, descritos na literatura e nas escrituras das principais religiões e civilizações, eram na realidade extraterrestres que alegadamente teriam visitado o planeta Terra no passado.[4][2][5] Segundo von Däniken, o livro foi traduzido em 32 línguas, tendo vendido mais de 63 milhões de exemplares.[6]

  

Däniken tornou-se cofundador da Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association (AAS RA), Associação de Pesquisa Arqueológica, Astronáutica e SETI, e desenhou o parque de diversões Mystery Park, em Interlaken, Suíça, que abriu pela primeira vez em 23 de maio de 2003.[7]

  

Início de vida:

  

Von Däniken teve uma educação Católica rigorosa e frequentou a escola internacional Católica de Saint-Michel em Fribourg, Suíça. Durante este tempo na escola, Däniken rejeitou a interpretação que a igreja faz da Bíblia e desenvolveu um interesse por astronomia e os fenómenos de discos voadores.[8].

Aos 19 anos, von Däniken recebeu uma pena suspensa de quatro meses por furto.[8] Von Däniken saiu da escola e tornou-se aprendiz de um hoteleiro suíço.[9] Depois de se mudar para o Egito, foi condenado por fraude e peculato.[8]

Depois tornou-se gestor do Hotel Rosenhügel em Davos, Suíça, durante este tempo escreveu o livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, trabalhando no manuscrito durante a noite, depois dos hóspedes se retirarem.[10] Em dezembro de 1964, von Däniken escreveu Hatten unsere Vorfahren Besuch aus dem Weltraum? ("Os nossos antepassados receberam uma Visita do Espaço?") para o periódico teuto-canadense Der Nordwesten.[11] O livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas? foi aceite para publicação por uma editora no início do ano 1967 e lançado em 1968.[10]

Em novembro de 1968, von Däniken foi preso por fraude depois de falsificar os registos do hotel e referências de crédito com o objectivo de contrair empréstimos[10] no valor de $ 130 000,00 (valores da época) no decorrer de doze anos. Ele usou o dinheiro para viagens ao estrangeiro para fazer pesquisas para o seu livro.[8] Dois anos mais tarde,[10] von Däniken foi condenado por peculato "repetido e continuado", fraude e falsificação, com o tribunal a decidir que o escritor tinha estado a viver um estilo de vida de "playboy".[12] Von Däniken apresentou recurso para nulidade do processo na base de que as suas intenções não eram maliciosas e as instituições de crédito teriam falhado em investigar adequadamente as suas referências.[12][8][10] No dia 13 de fevereiro de 1970, von Däniken recebeu uma sentença de prisão de três anos e meio e multa de 3 000 francos.[10][13] Ele cumpriu um ano da sua sentença antes de ser libertado.[8][14]

O seu primeiro livro, Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, foi publicado na mesma época do julgamento, sendo que as vendas permitiram-lhe pagar as suas dívidas e sair do negócio da hotelaria. Von Däniken escreveu o seu segundo livro, Gods from Outer Space, enquanto estava na prisão.[12][8]

  

Alegações de influência extraterrestre na Terra:

  

Em 1966, quando Däniken estava a escrever o seu primeiro livro, os cientistas Carl Sagan e I. S. Shklovskii, escreveram sobre as possibilidades da Teoria dos astronautas antigos e as alegações de visitas extraterrestres num dos capítulos do livro Intelligent Life in the Universe, dando alguma legitimidade a esta ideia.[15] Contudo muitas destas ideias apareceram de forma bastante diferente nos livros de Däniken. Carl Sagan foi sempre muito crítico em relação a von Däniken:

Aquela forma tão descuidada de escrever como a de von Däniken, cuja principal tese é de que os nossos antepassados eram bonecos, ao ser tão popular é um comentário sobre a credulidade e desespero dos nossos tempos. Mas a ideia que seres de qualquer outro lado viriam salvar-nos de nós próprios é uma doutrina muito perigosa - semelhante ao do médico charlatão cujos tratamentos impedem que o cliente procure um médico competente para o ajudar e, quem sabe, talvez curar a doença.

That writing as careless as von Däniken's, whose principal thesis is that our ancestors were dummies, should be so popular is a sober commentary on the credulousness and despair of our times. But the idea that beings from elsewhere will save us from ourselves is a very dangerous doctrine - akin to that of the quack doctor whose ministrations prevent the patient from seeing a physician competent to help him and perhaps to cure his disease.

— Carl Sagan, no prefácio de The Space Gods Revealed[16]

Anteriormente ao trabalho de Däniken, outros escritores apresentaram ideias de contactos extraterrestres. Däniken não refere alguns, ou mesmo todos estes autores, mesmo quando fazia as mesmas alegações usando evidências idênticas ou similares.[17][notas 1]

Também espero que a popularidade de livros como Eram os Deuses Astronautas? continue nas escolas e nos cursos de lógica das universidades, como assunto de aula sobre pensamento descuidado. Não conheço qualquer livro recente tão emaranhado em erros de lógica e erros factuais como nos trabalhos de von Däniken.

I also hope for the continuing popularity of books like Chariots of the Gods? in high school and college logic courses, as object lessons in sloppy thinking. I know of no recent books so riddled with logical and factual errors as the works of von Däniken.

— Carl Sagan, no prefácio de The Space Gods Revealed[18]

  

Erros e omissões:

  

O pilar de Deli:

  

No livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, Däniken escreveu sobre a existência de um pilar de ferro em Deli, Índia, que não enferruja e que seria uma evidência da existência de influência extraterrestre.[19] Mais tarde, na sua entrevista para a Playboy, quando lhe foi dito de que a coluna tem sinais de ferrugem e que o método de construção é bem conhecido, Däniken disse que desde o momento em escreveu o livro terá tomado conhecimento de investigações que chegaram a outras conclusões e deixara de considerar este pilar um mistério.[20][21]

  

Cueva de los Tayos:

  

No livro The Gold of the Gods, O Ouro dos Deuses, von Däniken escreveu que terá sido guiado por túneis artificiais nas grutas debaixo do Equador, Cueva de los Tayos, que continham ouro, estátuas estranhas e uma biblioteca com placas de metal, que ele considerou ser evidência de visitantes espaciais ancestrais. O homem que ele terá dito que lhe mostrou estes túneis, Juan Moricz, disse a Der Spiegel que as descrições de von Däniken vieram de uma longa conversa e que as fotos que foram incluídas no livro foram "retocadas".[22] Von Däniken disse à Playboy que embora ele tenha visto a biblioteca e outros locais que descreveu, ele acabou por fabricar alguns dos eventos para dar algum interesse ao seu livro.[12][23][24]

  

Mais tarde, em 1978, teria dito que nunca esteve na caverna ilustrada no seu livro, em vez disso teria estado numa "entrada lateral", disse ainda que teria fabricado toda a descida ao interior da gruta.[24] Um geologista examinou a área e não encontrou qualquer sistema subterrâneo.[22] Däniken também escreveu sobre uma coleção de objetos de ouro na posse de um sacerdote local, Padre Crespi, que tinha uma permissão especial do Vaticano para realizar pesquisa arqueológica.[22] Mas o arqueólogo relatou a Der Spiegel que, apesar de existirem algumas peças de ouro, muitas eram apenas imitações destinadas a turistas, e que Crespi tinha dificuldade em distinguir bronze de latão.[22]

  

Estâncias de Dzyan:

  

O doutor Samuel Rosenberg disse que o Livro de Dzyan, que contém as Estâncias de Dzyan, do qual von Däniken fez referência,[25] foi "uma 'fabricação' sobreposta a um gigantesco embuste perpetrado por Madame Blavatsky." Ele também diz que o "Papiro de Tulli", citado por von Däniken num dos seus livros,[25] é provavelmente construído a partir do Livro de Ezequiel, e citou o Dr. Nolli (pelo Dr. Walter Ramberg, Scientific Attache na embaixada dos Estados Unidos em Roma), na altura o Diretor da Secção Egípcia do Museu do Vaticano, como "suspeitando que Tulli foi levado para lá e de que o papiro era falso".[26] Na opinião de Richard R. Lingerman do New York Times, é provável que von Däniken obteve estas referências de livro de OVNIS que mencionavam estes documentos como sendo reais.[25]

Von Däniken trouxe a público as Linhas de Nasca com o seu livro de 1968, Eram os Deuses Astronautas?,[27] atraiu tantos turistas que a pesquisadora Maria Reiche teve de gastar muito do seu tempo e dinheiro para as preservar.[28] Von Däniken disse que as linhas foram construídas seguindo instruções de seres extraterrestres.[29] No seu livro de 1998, Arrival of The Gods, acrescentou que algumas das fotografias retratavam extraterrestres.[29] Os arqueólogos têm a certeza que as linhas foram criados por civilizações pré-colombianas para fins culturais e nem se deram ao trabalho de refutar este tipo de especulação.[29] Silverman e Proulx dizem que este silêncio da parte dos arqueólogos prejudicou a profissão assim como a nação peruana.[29] Esta ideia não era originalmente de von Däniken, começou como uma piada criada pelas primeiras pessoas que viram as linhas a partir do ar[27] e que já tinha sido publicada por outras pessoas.[30] Uma das fotografias apresentadas no livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas?, que von Däniken referia ser similar às marcas visíveis nos aeroportos modernos, era de dimensões reduzidas e apenas uma articulação de um joelho de uma das figuras que tinha a forma de uma ave; Däniken diz que esse teria sido um erro da primeira edição e que não era ele que fazia essa alegação no livro, mas o erro acabou por não ser corrigido na edições que se seguiram.[27][31]

  

Mapa de Piri Reis:

  

Von Däniken escreveu em Eram os Deuses Astronautas? que uma versão do mapa Piri Reis ilustrava algumas montanhas do Antártico que estavam e continuam a estar cobertas pelo gelo, e que apenas poderiam ser mapeadas com recurso a equipamento moderno. A sua teoria tem por base o livro Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings, por Charles Hapgood. A. D. Crown em Some Trust in Chariots explica como é que isto está simplesmente errado. O mapa no livro de von Däniken apenas estende 5 graus a sul do equador, terminando no Cabo de São Roque, que significa que não estende até à Antártica. Däniken também disse que o mapa mostrava algumas distorções que apenas aconteceriam se este fosse uma vista aérea obtida a partir de uma nave espacial a voar por cima do Cairo, mas na realidade o mapa não estende o suficiente para sul de forma a causar distorções numa vista aérea. Von Däniken também faz afirmações sobre a existência de uma lenda que diz que um deus deu o mapa a um sacerdote, o deus como sendo um ser extraterrestre. Contudo, Piri Reis disse que este terá desenhado o mapa ele próprio utilizando mapas antigos, e o mapa é consistente com o conhecimento cartográfico existente nesse tempo.[32] Aliás, o mapa também não é "absolutamente preciso" como teria afirmado von Däniken, porque este contém muitos erros e omissões;[33] um facto que von Däniken não corrigiu quando analisou o mapa novamente em 1998, no livro Odyssey of the Gods.[34] Outros autores tinham também publicado a mesma idade, um facto que von Däniken não reconheceu até 1974 numa entrevista à revista Playboy.[35]

  

Pirâmide de Quéops:

  

O documentário da Nova, The Case of the Ancient Astronauts, mostra que todas as afirmações que Däniken fez sobre a Pirâmide de Quéops estavam erradas em toda a linha. A técnica de construção é bem conhecida, sabemos exatamente quais foram a ferramentas utilizadas, podemos ver as marcas destas ferramentas nas pedreiras e existem muitas ferramentas preservadas nos museus. Däniken afirma que lhes levaria uma enorme quantidade de tempo para cortar todos os blocos de pedra necessários e arrastá-los para a zona de construção a tempo de construir a Grande Pirâmide em apenas 20 anos, mas a Nova mostra como era fácil e rápido de cortar um bloco de pedra, e mostra os rolos usados no transporte. Ele também alega que os egípcios subitamente começaram a fazer pirâmides do nada, mas existem várias pirâmides que mostram o progresso alcançado pelos arquitetos egípcios enquanto aperfeiçoavam a técnica desde os simples mastabas até à pirâmides que se seguiram. Däniken afirmou que a altura das pirâmides multiplicada por um milhão era a distância para o Sol, mas o número fica muito abaixo disso. Ele também diz que os egípcios não conseguiriam alinhar as arestas de forma tão perfeita com o norte sem uma tecnologia tão avançada que apenas os extraterrestres conseguiriam oferecer-lhes, mas os egípcios conheciam métodos muito simples para encontrar o norte através da observação das estrelas, e é trivial fazer arestas direitas.[36]

  

Sarcófago de Palenque:

  

Däniken afirma que o sarcófago de Palenque, no Templo das Inscrições, representa um astronauta sentado em cima de foguetão, vestindo um fato espacial. Contudo, arqueólogos não veem nada de especial nesta figura, o monarca Maia falecido com penteados e joalharia tradicionais Maias, rodeado de símbolos Maias pode ser observado juntamente com outros desenhos Maias.[37] A mão direita não está a manipular quaisquer controlos de um foguetão, está porém simplesmente a fazer um gesto tradicional Maia, que outras figuras nos lados da tampa também estão a fazer, e não está a segurar seja o que for. O formato do foguetão é na realidade duas serpentes que juntam as suas cabeças no fundo, as chamas do foguetão são as barbas das serpentes.[38] O motor do foguetão debaixo da figura é a face de um monstro, símbolo do submundo.[39][40][41][42]

  

As Pedras Ancestrais do Peru:

  

Von Däniken divulgou fotografias de pedras ancestrais do Peru, as Pedras de Ica, com gravuras de homens usando telescópios, mapas do mundo detalhados e operações médicas avançadas, tudo muito para além do conhecimento dos antepassados peruanos. Mas a série de televisão Nova da PBS determinou que as pedras eram contemporâneas e chegou mesmo a localizar o oleiro que as fez. Este oleiro faz pedras diariamente e vende-as a turistas. Sabe-se que von Däniken visitou o oleiro e que examinou as pedras, contudo não mencionou este encontro no seu livro. Ele diz que não acreditou no oleiro quando este terá dito que as tinha feito. Däniken diz que perguntou ao Doutor Cabrera, um cirurgião local, dono de um museu, que lhe terá dito que o oleiro estava a mentir e que as pedras seriam ancestrais. Mas o oleiro tinha provas que Cabrera lhe tinha agradecido por providenciar as pedras para o museu. Por seu lado, Däniken alega que as pedras no museu eram muito diferentes daquelas que eram feitas pelo oleiro, mas os jornalistas da Nova supervisionaram a fabricação de uma das pedras e confirmaram que esta era muito semelhante às que se encontravam no museu.[43]

  

Estátuas da Ilha da Páscoa:

  

Kenneth Feder acusou von Däniken de etnocentrismo europeu,[44] enquanto John Flenley e Paul Bahn sugeriram que os pontos de vista como a sua interpretação das estátuas da Ilha da Páscoa "ignoram as realizações reais dos nossos antepassados e constituem a última palavra em racismo: subestimam a capacidade e engenho da espécie humana como um todo."[45]

  

Refutações:

  

Ronald Story publicou em 1976 o livro The Space Gods Revealed, escrito em resposta à evidência apresentada no livro Eram os Deuses Astronautas? de Däniken. Esse livro foi avaliado como "uma refutação coerente e indispensável das teorias de Von Däniken".[46]

Um artigo de 2004 na Revista Skeptic afirma que Däniken retirou muitos dos conceitos do livro O Despertar dos Mágicos, que este livro por sua vez foi influenciado grandemente pelos Mitos de Cthulhu, afirma ainda que os conceitos nucleares da teoria dos astronautas da antiguidade é originário das pequenas histórias de H. P. Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu" escritas em 1926, e "At the Mountains of Madness" escrita em 1931.[47]

Von Däniken, num documentário do ano de 2001, dizia que mesmo não conseguindo provar de forma conclusiva à comunidade científica que qualquer um dos itens no seu arquivo tem origem extraterrestre, ele sente que a "ciência de hoje" não iria aceitar tal evidência, porque "simplesmente não é o tempo certo". Disse também que saltou de Gestor de Hotel para "especialista do mundo antigo." Ele argumenta que, inicialmente, tal seria necessário para "preparar" a humanidade para um "magnífico mundo novo".[48]

  

Popularidade:

  

O Jungfrau Park localizado perto de Interlaken, na Suíça, abriu em 2003 com o nome de Mystery Park, foi encerrado em 2006 por dificuldades financeiras e pouca adesão do público. Desde 2009 tem funcionado durante a temporada do Verão. Foi desenhado por Erich von Däniken, a temática explora vários grandes "mistérios" do mundo.[49]

Ridley Scott disse que o seu filme Prometheus é baseado em algumas das ideias de von Däniken relacionadas com o início da civilização humana.[50]

Analisando os dois DVDs do filme de Roland Emmerich, Stargate, Dean Devlin faz referência à parte "Is There a Stargate?" (Existe um Stargate algures?) que contém uma entrevista onde "escritor Erich von Däniken discute a evidência que este encontrou de que a Terra foi visitada por extraterrestres".[51][52]

Von Däniken deu as seguintes explicações na sua entrevista para a Playboy: "Em alemão nós dizemos que um escritor, se não está a escrever pura ciência, é-lhe permitido utilizar algunsdramaturgisch Effekte - alguns efeitos especiais. E isso foi o que eu fiz." Von Däniken acrescentou "Eu tenho estado dentro de grutas, mas não tem sido nos locais onde as fotografias que estão no livro foram tiradas, não na entrada principal. Eu estive na entrada lateral." Ele disse que viu pessoalmente os objetos que descreve no seu livro e no qual estão publicadas as respetivas fotos. Afirmou também que os desmentidos de Moricz sobre as suas afirmações devem-se ao facto de a expedição de Moricz ter assinado compromissos de silêncio sobre o que continham as grutas. Von Däniken também disse que um reconhecido arqueólogo alemão terá sido enviado ao Equador para verificar as suas afirmações, mas depois de seis semanas colocado lá acabou não conseguir encontrar o Moricz.

Sobre o livro "Eram os Deuses Astronautas?"

  

Eram os Deuses Astronautas? (Erinnerungen an die Zukunft, no original alemão, Chariots of the Gods, em inglês) é um livro escrito em 1968 pelo suíço Erich von Däniken, em que o autor teoriza a possibilidade das antigas civilizações terrestres serem resultados de alienígenas (ou astronautas) que para as épocas relatadas teriam se deslocado.[1] Von Däniken apresentou como provas ligações entre as colossais pirâmides egípcias e incas, as quilométricas linhas de Nazca, os misteriosos moais da Ilha de Páscoa, entre outros grandes mistérios arquitetônicos. Ele também cria uma teoria de cruzamentos entre os "extraterrestres" e espécies primatas, gerando a espécie humana. Dizia o autor também que esses "extraterrestres" eram considerados divindades pelos antigos povos: daí vem a explicação do título do livro. Naturalmente, levando o pensamento há 1000 ou 2000 anos atrás, é impossível definir um objeto voador com 30 metros de comprimento - que hoje chamamos de avião ou ônibus espacial - portanto correlações próximas à realidade da época foram feitas: "Deus", "Anúbis", "Itzmná" ou "Salvador". Unido à época lançada - um ano antes do homem ir à Lua -, von Däniken conseguiu vender milhares de livros e convencer muitos leitores. As teorias defendidas neste e em outros livros de Däniken ainda são tema de discussão, leiga ou acadêmica, contrária ou favorável. Alguns autores exploram o tema da teoria dos astronautas antigos.

In English:

  

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.

  

Erich Anton Paul von Däniken (/ˈɛrɪk fɒn ˈdɛnɪkɪn/; German: [ˈeːrɪç fɔn ˈdɛːnɪkən]; born 14 April 1935) is a Swiss author of several books which make claims about extraterrestrial influences on early human culture, including the best-selling Chariots of the Gods?, published in 1968. Von Däniken is one of the main figures responsible for popularizing the "paleo-contact" and ancient astronauts hypotheses.

The ideas put forth in his books are rejected by virtually all scientists and academics, who categorize his work as pseudohistory, pseudoarchaeology, and pseudoscience.[1][2][3] Early in his career, he was convicted and served time for several counts of fraud or embezzlement,[4] and wrote one of his books in prison.

Von Däniken later became a co-founder of the Archaeology, Astronautics and SETI Research Association (AAS RA). He designed Mystery Park (now known as Jungfrau Park), a theme park located in Interlaken, Switzerland, that opened in May 2003.[5]

  

Early life:

  

Von Däniken was born in Zofingen, Aargau. Brought up as a Roman Catholic, he attended the Saint-Michel International Catholic School in Fribourg, Switzerland. During his time at the school he rejected the church's interpretations of the Bible and developed an interest in astronomy and flying saucers.[6] At the age of 19, he was given a four-month suspended sentence for theft.[6] He left the school and was apprenticed to a Swiss hotelier for a time,[7] before moving to Egypt. In December 1964, von Däniken wrote Hatten unsere Vorfahren Besuch aus dem Weltraum? ("Were Our Ancestors Visited from Space?") for the German-Canadian periodical Der Nordwesten.[8] While in Egypt, he was involved in a jewelry deal which resulted in a nine-month conviction for fraud and embezzlement upon his return to Switzerland.[6]

Following his release, von Däniken became a manager of the Hotel Rosenhügel in Davos, Switzerland, during which time he wrote Chariots of the Gods? (German: Erinnerungen an die Zukunft, literally "Memories of the Future"), working on the manuscript late at night after the hotel's guests had retired.[9] The draft of the book was turned down by several publishers. Econ Verlag (now part of Ullstein Verlag) was willing to publish the book after a complete reworking by a professional author, Utz Utermann, who used the pseudonym of Wilhelm Roggersdorf. Utermann was a former editor of the Nazi Party's newspaper Völkischer Beobachter and had been a Nazi bestselling author.[10] The re-write of Chariots of the Gods? was accepted for publication early in 1967, but not printed until March 1968.[9] Against all expectations, the book gained widespread interest and became a bestseller. Von Däniken was paid 7 percent of the book's turnover, while 3 percent went to Utermann.[11] In 1970, Der Spiegel referred to the hype over Däniken as Dänikitis.[12]

In November 1968, von Däniken was arrested for fraud, after falsifying hotel records and credit references in order to take out loans[9] for $130,000 over a period of twelve years. He used the money for foreign travel to research his book.[6] Two years later,[9] von Däniken was convicted for "repeated and sustained" embezzlement, fraud, and forgery, with the court ruling that the writer had been living a "playboy" lifestyle.[13] He unsuccessfully entered a plea of nullity, on the grounds that his intentions were not malicious and that the credit institutions were at fault for failing adequately to research his references,[6][9][13] and on 13 February 1970 he was sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment and was also fined 3,000 francs.[9][14] He served one year of this sentence before being released.[6][15]

His first book, Chariots of the Gods?, had been published by the time of his trial, and its sales allowed him to repay his debts and leave the hotel business. Von Däniken wrote his second book, Gods from Outer Space, while in prison.[6][13]

  

Claims of alien influence on Earth:

  

The general claim of von Däniken over several published books, starting with Chariots of the Gods? in 1968, is that extraterrestrials or "ancient astronauts" visited Earth and influenced early human culture. Von Däniken writes about his belief that structures such as the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Moai of Easter Island, and certain artifacts from that period, are products of higher technological knowledge than is presumed to have existed at the times they were manufactured. He also describes ancient artwork throughout the world as containing depictions of astronauts, air and space vehicles, extraterrestrials, and complex technology. Von Däniken explains the origins of religions as reactions to contact with an alien race, and offers interpretations of sections of the Old Testament of the Bible.

  

Criticism:

  

In 1966, when von Däniken was writing his first book, scientists Carl Sagan and I. S. Shklovskii had written about the possibility of paleocontact and extraterrestrial visitation claims in one chapter of their book Intelligent Life in the Universe, leading author Ronald Story to speculate in his book The Space-gods Revealed that this may have been the genesis of von Däniken's ideas.[16] Many ideas from this book appeared in different form in Däniken's books.

  

Prior to von Däniken's work, other authors had presented ideas of extraterrestrial contacts. He has failed to credit these authors properly or at all, even when making the same claims using similar or identical evidence.[17] The first edition of von Däniken's Erinnerungen an die Zukunft failed to cite Robert Charroux's One Hundred Thousand Years of Man's Unknown History despite making very similar claims, and publisher Econ-Verlag was forced to add Charroux in the bibliography in later editions, to avoid a possible lawsuit for plagiarism.[18]

  

Logical and factual errors:

  

That writing as careless as von Däniken's, whose principal thesis is that our ancestors were dummies, should be so popular is a sober commentary on the credulousness and despair of our times. I also hope for the continuing popularity of books like Chariots of the Gods? in high school and college logic courses, as object lessons in sloppy thinking. I know of no recent books so riddled with logical and factual errors as the works of von Däniken.[19]

— Carl Sagan, Foreword to The Space Gods Revealed

  

Iron pillar of Delhi:

  

In Chariots of the Gods?, von Däniken cited the Iron pillar of Delhi in India, erected approximately 402 AD, as a prime example of extraterrestrial influence because of its "unknown origins" and a complete absence of rust despite its estimated 1,500 years of continuous exposure to the elements.[20][21] When informed by an interviewer, in 1974, that the pillar was not rust-free, and that its origin, method of construction, and relative resistance to corrosion were all well understood, von Däniken responded that he no longer believed extraterrestrials had been involved in its creation.[22][23]

  

Cueva de los Tayos:

  

In The Gold of the Gods, von Däniken describes an expedition that he undertook through man-made tunnels within Cueva de los Tayos, a natural cave system in Ecuador, guided by a local man named Juan Moricz. He reported seeing mounds of gold, strange statues, and a library containing metal tablets, all of which he considered to be evidence of ancient extraterrestrial visitation.[citation needed]

Moricz told Der Spiegel that there had been no expedition; von Däniken's descriptions came from "a long conversation", and the photos in the book had been "fiddled".[24] During the 1974 interview, von Däniken asserted that he had indeed seen the library and the artifacts in the tunnels, but he had embellished some aspects of the story to make it more interesting:

"In German we say a writer, if he is not writing pure science, is allowed to use some dramaturgische Effekte – some theatrical effects...And that's what I have done."[13][25][26]

A geologist found no evidence of artificial tunnels in the area.[24] Father Crespi's[who?] gold artifacts, according to an archeologist consulted by Der Spiegel, were mostly brass imitations sold locally as tourist souvenirs.[24]

  

Book of Dzyan and "Tulli Papyrus":

  

Samuel Rosenberg said that the Book of Dzyan, referred to by von Däniken,[27] was "a fabrication superimposed on a gigantic hoax concocted by Madame Blavatsky." He also says that the "Tulli Papyrus", cited by von Däniken in one of his books,[27] is probably cribbed from the Book of Ezekiel, and quoted Nolli (through Walter Ramberg, Scientific Attache at the U.S. Embassy in Rome), then current Director of the Egyptian Section of the Vatican Museum, as "suspect[ing] that Tulli was taken in and that the papyrus is a fake."[28] According to Richard R. Lingeman of The New York Times, it is likely that von Däniken obtained these references from UFO books that mentioned them as real documents.[27]

Von Däniken brought the Nazca Lines to public prominence in Chariots of the Gods?[29] with his proposal that the lines were built on instructions from extraterrestrial beings as airfields for their spaceships.[30] In his 1998 book Arrival of The Gods, he added that some of the pictures depicted extraterrestrials.[30] The idea did not originate with von Däniken; it began after people who first saw the lines from the air made joking comparisons to Martian "canals",[29] and had already been published by others.[31]

  

Descriptions of some Nazca line photos in Chariots of the Gods? contain significant inaccuracies. One, for example, purporting to demonstrate markings of a modern airport, was actually the knee joint of one of the bird figures, and was quite small. Von Däniken said that this was an "error" in the first edition, but it has not been corrected in later editions.[29][32]

Consensus among archeologists is that the Nazca lines were created by pre-Columbian civilizations for cultural purposes. Efforts by archeologists to refute fringe theories such as Däniken's have been minimal, however.[30] Silverman and Proulx have said that this silence from archaeologists has harmed the profession, as well as the Peruvian nation.[30] Von Däniken's books attracted so many tourists to the Nazca region that researcher Maria Reiche had to spend much of her own time and money preserving the lines.[33]

  

Piri Reis map:

  

Von Däniken wrote in Chariots of the Gods? that a version of the Piri Reis map depicted some Antarctic mountains that were and still are buried in ice, and could only be mapped with modern equipment. His theory relies on the book of Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings by Charles Hapgood. A.D. Crown, in Some Trust in Chariots, explains how this is simply wrong. The map in von Däniken's book only extends five degrees south of the equator, ending in Cape São Roque, which means that it does not extend to Antarctica. Von Däniken also said that the map showed some distortions that would only happen if it was an aerial view taken from a spaceship flying above El Cairo, but in fact it does not extend far enough to the south to cause visible distortions in an aerial view. Von Däniken also asserts the existence of a legend saying that a god gave the map to a priest, the god being an extraterrestrial being. But Piri Reis said that he had drawn that map himself using older maps, and the map is consistent with the cartographic knowledge of that time.[34] Also, the map is not "absolutely accurate" as claimed by von Däniken, since it contains many errors and omissions;[35] a fact that von Däniken did not correct when he covered the map again in his 1998 book Odyssey of the Gods.[36] Other authors had already published this same idea, a fact that von Däniken did not recognize until 1974 in an interview with Playboy magazine.[37]

  

Pyramid of Cheops:

  

Erich von Däniken puts forward many beliefs about the Great Pyramid of Giza in his 1968 book Chariots of the Gods?, saying that the ancient Egyptians could not have built it, not having sufficiently advanced tools, leaving no evidence of workers, and incorporating too much 'intimate' knowledge about the Earth and its geography into the design. To date, the technique of construction is not well understood and the tools the Egyptians used are not entirely known; however, marks left in the quarries by those tools are still visible, and many examples of possible tools are preserved in museums.[citation needed]

Von Däniken claims that it would have taken the Egyptians too long to cut all the blocks necessary and drag them to the construction site in time to build the Great Pyramid in only 20 years; and a Nova documentary failed to demonstrate the proposed construction method, and came to no conclusions about how long the theoretical technique would require to construct the monument.[38] The documentary does not actually demonstrate the cutting or transportation of a true 2.5 ton block but instead has actors portray the theory by pushing what is a prop rock on a prop sled based on an ancient sled that was discovered in Egypt.

Von Däniken also said that there were too many problems with their tools, and, according to him, the Egyptians had no prehistory so they could not have possibly built these large pyramids, even though there are pyramids in Egypt that were built before the Great Pyramid. Because he believed that there was no prehistory, von Däniken put forward that there is nothing known about how, when, or why these pyramids were built.[39][40]

Von Däniken also claims that Egyptians built perfect pyramids from the beginning, but numerous pyramid precursors survive, showing the errors made and corrected by Egyptian architects while they were perfecting the technique. These include simple mastabas, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, and the so-called Bent Pyramid.[citation needed]

In his book, he says that there is no evidence of Egyptian workers at the pyramid site;[39] however, archaeologists have found evidence of buildings where workers would have lived,[41] with bakeries and sewer systems.[42] There are also tombs of workers, with some of the skeletons showing evidence of having received medical care. This may indicate the workers were well taken care of, which suggests they were Egyptian.[43]

Von Däniken states that the Great Pyramid is located on the Median line dividing the continents,[39] and that the Egyptians could not have aligned the edges so perfectly to true north without advanced technology that only aliens could give them. Egyptian builders, however, knew of simple methods to find north via star observation.[44] Egyptologists have found artifacts and drawings of an object called a merkhet,[45] which enabled the ancient Egyptians to find true north using the North Star and other stars aligned with the merkhet.[46] The ancient Egyptian astronomers and, possibly, farmers spent much time studying the stars in order to accurately track the agricultural seasons.[47]

  

Sarcophagus of Palenque:

  

Von Däniken claimed that the Sarcophagus of Palenque depicted a spaceman sitting on a rocket-powered spaceship, wearing a spacesuit. However, archaeologists see nothing special about the figure, a dead Maya monarch (K'inich Janaab' Pakal) wearing traditional Maya hairstyle and jewellery, surrounded by Maya symbols that can be observed in other Maya drawings. The right hand is not handling any rocket controls, but simply making a traditional Maya gesture that other figures in the sides of the lid also make, and is not holding anything. The rocket shape is actually two serpents joining their heads at the bottom, with the rocket "flames" being the beards of the serpents. The rocket motor under the figure is the face of a monster, symbol of the underworld.[48] (In Chariots of the Gods? Von Däniken also incorrectly states the sculpture to be from Copán, rather than Palenque.)

  

Peruvian stones:

  

Von Däniken put forward photographs of the Ica stones, ancient stones in Peru, with carvings of men using telescopes, detailed world maps, and advanced medical operations, all beyond the knowledge of ancient Peruvians. But the PBS television series Nova determined that the stones were modern, and located the potter who made them. This potter makes stones daily and sells them to tourists. Von Däniken had visited the potter and examined the stones himself, but he didn't mention this in his book. He says that he didn't believe the potter when he said that he had made the stones. Von Däniken says that he asked Doctor Cabrera, a local surgeon who owns the museum, and Cabrera had told him that the potter's claims were a lie and that the stones were ancient. But the potter had proof that Cabrera had thanked him for providing the stones for the museum. Von Däniken claimed that the stones at the museum were very different from those made by the potter, but the Nova reporters oversaw the manufacturing of one stone and confirmed that it was very similar to those in the museum.[49]

  

European ethnocentrism:

  

Kenneth Feder accused von Däniken of European ethnocentrism,[50] while John Flenley and Paul Bahn suggested that views such as his interpretation of the Easter Island statues "ignore the real achievements of our ancestors and constitute the ultimate in racism: they belittle the abilities and ingenuity of the human species as a whole."[51]

  

Other criticisms:

  

Ronald Story published The Space Gods Revealed: A Close Look At The Theories of Erich Von Däniken in 1976, written in response to the evidence presented in von Däniken's Chariots of the Gods?. It was reviewed as "a coherent and much-needed refutation of von Däniken's theories".[52] Archeologist Clifford Wilson wrote two books similarly debunking von Däniken: Crash Go the Chariots in 1972 and The Chariots Still Crash in 1975.

  

A 2004 article in Skeptic Magazine states that von Däniken took many of the book's concepts from The Morning of the Magicians, that this book in turn was heavily influenced by the Cthulhu Mythos, and that the core of the ancient astronaut theory originates in H. P. Lovecraft's stories "The Call of Cthulhu" written in 1926, and At the Mountains of Madness written in 1931.[53]

Jason Colavito (who has made or echoed some of the criticisms above) has criticized von Däniken's book Signs of the Gods 1979 for what he describes as making very racist claims while speculating that ancient aliens created varying human races.[54]

  

Popularity:

  

According to von Däniken, books in his series have altogether been translated into 32 languages and have sold more than 63 million copies.[55]

Based on von Däniken's books a comic book Die Götter aus dem All has been created by Bogusław Polch written by Arnold Mostowicz and Alfred Górny. In 1978–1982 eight comic books were translated into 12 languages[56] and have sold over 5 million copies.

Jungfrau Park located near Interlaken, Switzerland, was opened as the Mystery Park in 2003. Designed by von Däniken, it explored several great "mysteries" of the world.[57]

Ridley Scott said that his film Prometheus is related to some of von Däniken's ideas regarding early human civilization.[58] Reviewing the two-disc DVD release of Roland Emmerich's film Stargate, Dean Devlin referred to the "Is There a Stargate?" feature where "author Erich von Däniken discusses evidence he has found of alien visitations to Earth."[59]

Von Däniken is an occasional presenter on the History Channel and H2 show Ancient Aliens, where he talks about aspects of his theories as they pertain to each episode.[60]

  

"Dänikenitis":

  

Erich Von Däniken acknowledges his popularity by referring to the phrase "Dänikenitis",[61] which he mentions in his book Chariots of the Gods. The term is used to describe the spread of Erich's ideas of extraterrestrial theories to the literate population who reads his work. This term can be seen as humorous by skeptics and critical thinkers but can be a community of like-minded thinkers.

"Danikenitis" slowed down in the 1970s when he began to be heavily criticized by archeologists and astronomers,[62] which led to his books not being translated into the English language anymore. He was able to bounce back into popularity when he produced a twenty-five-part German television series in 1993, and this led to his books being translated into English once again.[63] Germany and other European countries have large support for Erich's work and he was able to continue to fill auditoriums all throughout the 1990s.[64]

Le Milford Sound, en maori Piopiotahi, est un fjord de Nouvelle-Zélande situé dans la région de Southland de l'île du Sud. Un des lieux touristiques les plus visités de Nouvelle-Zélande, il doit son nom au port naturel gallois appelé Milford Haven.

 

Le Milford Sound est situé dans le Sud-Ouest de l'île du Sud de la Nouvelle-Zélande, sur la côte Ouest qui donne sur la mer de Tasman. Inclus dans le parc national de Fiordland inscrit avec d'autres parcs néo-zélandais au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco sous le nom de Te Wāhipounamu, il s'avance d'une quinzaine de kilomètres dans les terres, au cœur des Alpes du Sud.

 

Les parois des montagnes qui l'encadrent atteignent par endroits plus de 1 200 mètres de dénivelé et culminent à 1 692 mètres d'altitude au Mitre Peak, 1 517 mètres à The Elephant et 1 302 à Lion Mountain. La profondeur maximale du fjord dépasse quant à elle les 400 mètres.

 

Les pentes des montagnes sont couvertes d'une forêt pluviale primaire et les eaux du fjord sont peuplées de cétacés comme des baleines, des phoques et des dauphins.

 

Les Maori, qui habitaient la région dès l'an Mil environ, ont traversé le Milford Sound afin de gagner la baie d'Anita et l'ont baptisé Piopiotahi qui signifie en français « L'endroit du Thrush chantant » du nom d'une espèce d'oiseau désormais éteinte de la sous-famille des turnidés.

 

Le premier Européen à avoir découvert le Milford Sound est le navigateur James Cook qui l'approche le 11 novembre 1770 à bord de l'Endeavour, décrivant un paysage rocheux accidenté aux sommets enneigés. Avant qu'une tempête ne force l'équipage à s'éloigner du rivage, le botaniste Joseph Banks a cependant le temps de descendre à terre pour récolter quelques spécimens végétaux

 

À partir de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, les chasseurs de phoques s'établissent dans la région des fjords au point d'exterminer ces animaux dans les années 1820. C'est un de ces chasseurs gallois de phoque qui a baptisé le Milford Sound de son nom actuel en l'honneur d'un port naturel du pays de Galles, le Milford Haven

 

Milford Sound / Piopiotahi is a fiord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island within Fiordland National Park, Piopiotahi (Milford Sound) Marine Reserve, and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. It has been judged the world's top travel destination in an international survey (the 2008 Travelers' Choice Destinations Awards by TripAdvisor) and is acclaimed as New Zealand's most famous tourist destination. Rudyard Kipling had previously called it the eighth Wonder of the World

 

Milford Sound is named after Milford Haven in Wales, while the Cleddau River which flows into the sound is also named for its Welsh namesake. The Māori named the sound Piopiotahi after the thrush-like piopio bird, now extinct. Piopiotahi means "a single piopio", harking back to the legend of Māui trying to win immortality for mankind—when Maui died in the attempt, a piopio was said to have flown here in mourning
