jewellery The discovery was made during an excavation survey in the town of Budyně nad Ohří, located 40km northwest of Prague where researchers stumbled upon a treasure trove of bronze artefacts Researchers believe the artefacts were intentionally buried though their exact purpose remains a mystery such hoards could be used as votive gifts or gifts to the deities,” archaeologist Martin Trefný told Radio Prague International the items might have been buried to "some incident that happened in the village” The third theory suggests that the site could have been a "storage pit of some producer or trader," says Trefný The Bronze Age bracelets discovered at the site were worn as forearm ornaments much like they are today while the pins were likely used to fasten clothing or style women's hair While the artefacts could be worth "millions of crowns" - with a million Czech crowns equating to nearly €40,000 - the historical and scientific value far exceeds the financial value The find offers a rare glimpse into life in central Europe during the Bronze Age and will help enhance our understanding of the craftsmanship of casters at the time Just last month, a team of archaeologists from the University of Hradec Králové (UHK) discovered a prehistoric burial along a highway in the Czech Republic’s eastern Bohemia region The monumental burial mound dates from the 4th millennium BC – making it one of Europe’s earliest known funerary structures Invisible above ground prior to the excavation two central burials were revealed during the dig: two human skeletons and the second with five chipped artefacts Researchers believe the orientation of the skeletons and offerings provide valuable information about the burial customs of the time The burial mound was partially disturbed by a younger pit suspected to be another burial site – although more analysis is needed to confirm this – despite no human bones being found The artefacts will soon go on display at the Podřipské Museum in Roudnice nad Labem Using metal detectors, scientists discovered the buried treasure about 35 miles northwest of Prague the combined items could be worth as much as $42,500 “Axes could have been used as tools or weapons The latter function also applies to the spearhead and pins served either to fasten clothing or Lucie Heyzlová/Český rozhlas/Podřipské Museum Trefný and the rest of his researchers are still unsure why the hoard was buried where it was or gifts to the deities,” Trefný told Ancient Origins The third theory is that it could be a storage pit of some producer or a trader.” The exact location of the hoard is being kept private to prevent amateur treasure hunters from desecrating the site The found items will be subjected to “extensive conservation treatment,” after which they’ll be put on display for the public at the Podřipské Museum though more valuable hoards have certainly been discovered in the Czech Republic the historical and scientific value of this most recent discovery easily surpasses the others By Declan GallagherDeclan Gallagher is a Breaking/Trending News Writer at Men's Journal 2022My project of writing my father back into history started with a joke

version of Erich Maria Remarque’s novel which can currently be streamed on Netflix was filmed in and around Prague and in the Ústí nad Labem Region with additional scenes shot in Prague’s Barrandov

just makes a brief appearance before the battle scenes start four enthusiastic young men forge a signature so one of them can join the German army The scene was filmed just outside the German Embassy in Prague The iron window grates and stone bollards at the Valašská Street palace formerly owned by the Lobkowicz family are easily recognizable The same scene also includes a brief glimpse of nearby Thunovská Street by the stairs leading to Prague Castle As the singing soldiers march off into the Battle of La Malmaison in France a few minutes later the spire of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Buškovice in the Ústí nad Labem Region can be seen in the background The military infirmary and compound they arrive at is a farm in Postoloprty which was once owned by the Schwarzenberg family In the comments section of the venue’s Facebook page the current owners point out that some of the damage was made with CGI and that a lot of planning and work went into creating the war-torn look The farm is actually in slightly better condition and is also now being restored to its former glory The fancy halls of the Supreme Army Command where the diplomat portrayed by Daniel Brühl tries to convince the German military leaders to surrender are at Sychrov Castle The carved dark-wood paneling interiors and the distinctive pointed archways in the courtyard can be seen

seen again as soldiers file past just after the general gives his balcony speech The trenches, where the bulk of the film takes place, were dug near a former military base at Milovice. The same base was used in George Lucas’ World War II film “Red Tails.” “In Milovice … we found a very good area with good depth in the background. These days it’s a sports airport, which closed its operations temporarily for three months so we could shoot there,” production designer Christian M. Goldbeck told the Czech Film Commission He also said that digging began in January 2021 Hundreds of meters of trenches covered the area of two football fields Director Berger told Newsweek that the main reason for coming to Czechia was that Prague is very welcoming was that he found unrenovated locations that matched the story where the actual historical locations would be Prague just felt like the right place to go,” he said Oddly, this is not the first time “All Quiet on the Western Front” was filmed in what is now the Czech Republic.

The Baroque Castle Jezeří, a highly endangered monument that is an attractive filming location Beethoven performed his 3rd Symphony there in 1804 The art provocateur group Ztohoven has claimed responsibility for cutting a giant Pac-Man into a rapeseed field owned by Agrofert the conglomerate associated with Prime Minister Andrej Babiš Police have been investigating the damage to the field in the village Rovné in the Ústí nad Labem region “Police officers from Roudnice nad Labem are investigating the damage to the rapeseed field in the area of the village of Rovné, and at the same time ask potential witnesses for help. A part of the field with an area of ​​about seven hectares has been cut by an unknown perpetrator, causing damage of over CZK 350,000,” Ústí nad Labem regional police spokeswoman Šárka Poláčková said The artwork was created on the 41st anniversary of the release of the original Pac-Man game It was also International Biodiversity Day similar to the business model of conglomerates “Pac-Man ate subsidies and he also managed to perfectly eat concepts such as capitalism or socialism when the right and left hemispheres are irreconcilably promoting their [ideas] without the ability to seek a common language outside the categories of the right-left worldview,” Ztohoven said on Facebook whom we ourselves let become fully established and were not able to set functional barriers for The ‘4 ghosts’ who have to stop Pac-Man on the field have failed If a player guided by sufficient motivation to eat everything chooses a suitable strategy he proceeds to the next levels of the game even though we thought that the previous one must have been the last “Pac-Man eats away individual components of the ecosystem in the landscape leaving behind a monocultural toxic desert and the ability to deal with crisis situations without the intervention of a central planner Pac-Man has perfectly hacked the system of democracy and is constantly abusing it Pac-Man has based its business on taxes that devour everyone in its playing field Pac-Man throws up critical thinking and serious science Pac-Man can't deal with individuals who refuse to share the playing field with him,” they said Agrofert has confirmed that they own the land and the matter is now in the hands of the police “I can confirm that this plot of land is owned by Agrobech from the Agrofert Group I don't want to comment on the motives of the creators but it is striking how far some people are able to go They unequivocally committed a crime in which property was damaged in the order of hundreds of thousands of crowns It is up to the police to investigate the matter,” Agrofert spokesman Karel Hanzelka said He also denied the criticism that Agrofert monopolizes state subsidies for the crop “It is not true that all rapeseed in the Czech Republic belongs to Agrofert and that it occupies all agricultural land Czech farmers grow rapeseed on approximately 16 percent of arable land only 5 percent is accounted for by Agrofert's agricultural companies If we draw some agricultural subsidies for cultivated land we have them exactly the same as all other farmers in the Czech Republic,” Hanzelka added Ztohoven has staged several acts that blend art and politics.

settled here (Říp derives from a Germanic word for “elevation.”) Čech is said to be buried in the nearby village of Ctiněves -Rising up out of the Central Bohemian flat lands at the confluence of three rivers the mountain is comprised of the remnants of a millions-of-years-old volcano and was bare until the 19th century -One of the oldest structures in the Czech lands the Romanesque Rotunda of

white flowers growing in dense clusters It is an endemic species of Pleistocene gravel-sand terraces near the town of Roudnice nad Labem (North Bohemia) In the late 1990s there had been only two hundred old clusters in the Kleneč National Nature Monument (NNM) and the only cluster near the village of Kyškovice at a substitute site Preservation of the species for Czech flora was at least uncertain In 1999 bulldozers removed humus level in part of the Kleneč NNM to gravelous sand substrate This revolutionary intervention has opened a way to save the Bohemian Sand Pink for world’s flora Many little seedlings appeared on uncovered sand substrate the following year The population has been still growing there the Action Plan for Bohemian Sand Pink in the Czech Republic was approved by the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic The objective of the Action Plan for Dianthus arenariussubsp bohemicusis to ensure long-term stability of a Bohemian Sand Pink (hereinafter BSP) population at the only original site – the Kleneč NNM and to establish a stable population at the substitute site near Kyškovice There are six main areas of supporting measures: 1.Habitat management includes annual mowing removing of competitive natural tree seedlings and expansive grasses such as the Wood Small-reed (Calamagrostis epigejos) disturbances of soil surface and also mechanized removing of humus layer 2.Species management includes sowing and deposition of seeds in a genetic seed bank 3.Monitoring involves monitoring of populations 4.Research measures propose study of a) BSP’s population biology b) effect of substrate on morphological variability in the BSP c) genetic variability in BSP’s populations d) relation between the BSP and phytophagous invertebrates e) occurrence of insects in the Kleneč NNM 5.Education and promotion of the species and its Action Plan 6.Other measures involve mainly providing the substitute site near Kyškovice with legal protection implementation of the Action Plan has brought some positive points: Four Muskoka athletes are heading to the Czech Republic in July to represent Canada in the Junior and U23 Wildwater Canoeing World
