Μόλις χθες γύρισα από το Παρίσι. Εκεί επισκέφθηκα το μουσείο του Λούβρου. Κάποια στιγμή ρώτησα τον
υπάλληλο στην ελληνική πτέρυγα που είναι η Νίκη της Σαμοθράκης στα γαλλικά , αναφέροντας το όνομα στα ελληνικά. Μου είπε ευγενικά αν ρωτάω για την ..βικτουαρ ντε λα σαμοτρας.
Τον ρώτησα τότε αν γνωρίζει πως λέγεται το φημισμένο ρολόι του Λονδίνου και εκείνος απάντησε με έμφαση Big Ben.
-γιατί δεν το λέτε αυτο grand ben; τον ρώτησα στα γαλλικά.
Γιατί νιώθετε την ανάγκη να κλέψετε και το όνομα εκτός απο το έκθεμα;
Κατέβασε το κεφάλι. Τον χτύπησα φιλικά στην πλάτη. Δεν έφταιγε αυτός, εγώ φταίω..
Η ελληνική πλευρά κατέχει το 30% του Λούβρου και στην είσοδο δεν υπάρχει ούτε καν το "καλώς ήρθατε "στα ελληνικά (ανάμεσα σε 20 γλώσσες).
Αυτό μπορούμε να κάνουμε καθισμένοι σε έναν καναπέ, μέσα απο μια ιστοσελίδα να φωνάζουμε, "φέρτε τα, πίσω":
Την νίκη που έγινε βικτουαρ, την Καρυάτιδα που έγινε καριατιντ...
Έτσι, δίνοντας στα παιδιά μας μια σταγόνα λιγότερη ιστορίας, περηφάνιας και κληρονομιάς θα είμαστε μόνο ανάξιοι μνημόνευσης...

In 1972, while on vacation, Stefano Mariottini, an engineer from Rome, snorkeling off the coast of Monasterace near Riace, noticed a human hand sticking out of the sand. Deciding that it was a co**se, he called the police. From the bottom of the Ionian Sea, two statues of "Warriors from Riace" were raised - ancient Greek bronze statues of the 5th century BC. Just a great photo

Cleopatra VII Philopator (Koinē : Κλεοπάτρα Φιλοπάτωρ, "Cleopatra the father-beloved" 70/69 BC – 10 August 30 BC) was Queen of the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt from 51 to 30 BC, and its last active ruler. A member of the Ptolemaic dynasty, she was a descendant of its founder Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian general of Alexander the Great. After the death of Cleopatra, Egypt became a province of the Roman Empire, marking the end of the last state in the Mediterranean and of the age that had lasted since the reign of Alexander (336–323 BC). Although her first language was Koine , she was the only Ptolemaic ruler to learn and use the Egyptian language.
Cleopatra ascended the throne at the age of 17 and died at the age of 39. She spoke 9 languages. She knew the language of Ancient Egypt and had learned to read hieroglyphics, a unique case in her dynasty. Apart from this, she knew and the languages ​​of the Parthians, Hebrews, Medes, Troglodytes, Syrians, Ethiopians, and Arabs.
With this knowledge, any book in the world was open to her. In addition to languages, she studied geography, history, astronomy, international diplomacy, mathematics, alchemy, medicine, zoology, economics, and other disciplines. She tried to access all the knowledge of her time.
Cleopatra spent a lot of time in a kind of ancient laboratory. She wrote some works related to herbs and cosmetics. Unfortunately, all her books were destroyed in the fire of the great Library of Alexandria in 391 AD. C. The famous physicist Galen studied her work, and was able to transcribe some of the recipes devised by Cleopatra.
One of these remedies, which Galen also recommended to her patients, was a special cream that could help bald men regain their hair. Cleopatra's books also included beauty tips, but none of them have come down to us.
The queen of Egypt was also interested in herbal healing, and thanks to her knowledge of languages, she had access to numerous papyri that are lost today. Her influence on the sciences and medicine was well known in the early centuries of Christianity. She, without a doubt, is a unique figure in the history of humanity.
